Knitted Star Pillow

I made this with Discontinued Yarn that I purchased at Hobby Lobby. I am sure you can use any Bulky Yarn. The reverse side of the Pillow is done in Bernat Chunky Yarn in Turquoise Blue. The pattern if quite simple. You will knit 10 diamond shapes and then sew them together. In the Center I found a round button with a Peach Sign on it. I thought the coloring was appropriate. If you would like the pattern, please feel free to contact me.

Time for a New Look.

I am updating this blog to add new photos and ideas. Since I live in the Southwest I thought a chili pepper theme would be fun. When moving into our home, the first thing we did was paint our kitchen a bright red which gave me so many opportunities to work with a chili pepper theme. From curtains to glassware. I seem to always be finding new things. I hope you will like the new look.
