ATTEMPT ONE

This is my first attempt at making a pillow with "fabric" that I knitted on the knitting machine.

What do you all think? Feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

Your pillow looks great! What type of machine are you learning on?

My first official machine knit project was a charity hat for my local machine knitting guild. It was a giant rectangle in one color gathered at both ends.

I really like the pillow! Great job! I picture it nestled in a white wing back chair set in front of matching floral drapery :)

I love it! I think it is lovely even though you knit it on a cursed machine.

I know I am using my comment on your page for my own personal gain, but I feel guilty about it enough so no need to help me on my journey. I recently started my own blog and I have no readers. It really stinks because I read about 20 blogs every single day like a religion. I know I am having a pity party, but I love your blog and would love you to take a look at mine and leave comments.

Thanks so much, once again, fabulous pillow!

That really is a cute pillow...love the stripe/floral combo. :)

Nice pillows indeed! I like the color combination, and the stripes in combination with the flowery pattern on the fabric.

they look like something my grandma used to make back in the day! And yes, that is a compliment.

I love it. I think the striped front and the floral back is gorgeous. I want it!

So... I'm loving the pillow. I might love it more if the front and the back were both knit, but not sure if that's enough structure for a throw pillow but then again it probably depends the type of fill and room location etc... Afterall, they are just throw pillows. Nice job. I'm anxious to see what else you come up with. I think you should knit a pant suit.
