Pillow Wrestling

I finished. I've been working on this off and on since I was pregnant and I finally got it done. Considering all the time I spent on it I wish it was more impressive.

It started out as a blanket. Then I gave up on that idea because it was taking soooooo long. I figured by the time I got it done as a baby blanket Levi would be to big to use it. Everything in life is a learning experience. I learned that if I'm going to make a blanket I need to use a thicker yarn and bigger needles for now. But this is a very cute and soft pillow for Levi. I tried to get a picture of him resting his head on it. No such luck. These were the best I got:Since he wasn't really sleepy when I was trying to take pictures, it was more like pillow wrestling.This one I think is particularly cute.

See what you could do if we had a knitting group. You too could take almost two years to make a pillow. Doesn't that sound like fun?

Thanks for reading.

I love it! I love that yarn? Is it the same that Natalee's hat and booties are in? It's so soft and cozy! Good job!
