MY FIRST KNITTING PROJECT

I took a beginning knitting class from Knit Unique last February and learned how to knit a pillow.  The pattern is called "Thick and Wooly Pillow".  I decided to knit a second pillow and just finished it!  I got a little distracted from my projects this summer.  Here is a picture of the front view.

The front alternates between garter and stockinette stitches with button holes. 

The back is worked in garter stitches.  The buttons seal up the pillow. 

I think the buttons are my favorite part, to bad they are in the back of the pillow!  Here is a close up picture of the front stitches.

I think the pillows turned out good for my first knitting project.  I am giving them to my Mom to put on her white couch.  I am afraid my cats will destroy them if they are at my house!
