Completed . . .

 Project Sweater Pillow

is completed . . .

One thing to check off the list!

Twice a year I get together with a group of gals

 I used to work with in pediatrics in the hospital. 

There are six of us counting me.

We rotate homes for our gatherings. 

Summer and Winter. 

The pillows are my gift to them,

I hope they are not reading this . . .



One sweater . . . One pillow.

 I used the front of the sweater for the front of the pillow

and the back of the sweater for the back. 



 

Wool and wool blends work better for sewing

than a cotton like this one. 

I loved the weave though and finally I made it work.

A Debbie Bliss knit pattern for the flowers.

(Just mentioning and giving credit, not for any perks . . . )

The red one is a pretty cable pattern

however it doesn't photo the best. 

It is very soft and probably my favorite. 

The white pillow is one I knit last year, my first with cable stitch.

"The Twins" were the easiest to do.

One sweater, two pillows.

One more cotton and again, difficult to work with.

BUT, I love it with the big button. 

I won't bother you with anymore pillow pics

unless the gals let me take their picture with their pillow

when they are at my home in a few weeks.

I am going to promise myself a walk

each day between now and the first of the year.

 I walk each day now but it is with Snickers and

she stops to smell too many mailboxes and trees.   

I am going to push my energy a bit, I need it!

It feels great to get out in the fresh air.

If I start today I will be happy I did so on January 1, 2012

Do you want to join me  . . . ?

If so, let me know about your walk, where you walk, how you feel.

Good Luck To Us
