Happy Monday! Wait? Did I say Monday… yep, I totally did. Ok. I know that’s a goofy way to begin this post but I almost always post on Tuesday but this week I’m posting on a Monday for a REALLY good reason – the 2018 Stitch & Hustle Blog Hop! How awesome is that?

When Michele asked me to be part of this hop I was blown away, then she said that Lion Brand Yarns was sponsoring it I nearly died. Then I saw the other designers on the list – A Crocheted Simplicity, Rescued Paws Designs, Evelyn & Peter, Mama in a Stitch, Stitch & Hustle, & Sewrella! Wow! Do you remember feeling like the kid hanging with the upper-class students? Because that’s where I am right now. Just feeling like I’m pretending I’m as cool as all these women.
Regardless of how my impostor syndrome is acting up, I’m so excited for this opportunity. I have had this pillow idea in my head for a few months & I knew some ultra squishy Wool-Ease was going to be the best to use to really highlight the bobbles. This design worked up SO fast with that large yarn that I hope you all out there will love it.

I designed this so that I could make that large triangle at the bottom – no joke, that’s exactly what I wanted. I didn’t carry the yarn like I normally do, I used 2 skeins of Fisherman and 1 of Blueberry to make the section. And I only made this pillow one-sided. I just like my pillows that way (it makes it so much easier to design too 😀 ). Oh! And I think this would make a fantastic bag, too, if you worked it up like the Crayons are Cute Bag.
