Happy Fri-yay! I am so excited to finally get this spectacular knit project released on the blog today! It was such a joy to design and create this color striped pillow. I really let the yarn speak to me and it clearly told me “I want to be a super squishy pillow!” I’m also quite thrilled to share this with everyone since this was my first attempt making something knit that wasn’t pure garter or stockinette stitch.

I don’t know about you all, but I’ve got to have my coffee first thing in the morning to really get the day going. To that degree, I almost never have time to brew any before I hustle out of the house, kids in tow to drop off at daycare, and make my way to work. My java fix usually comes as a scheduled stop at the quickest/nearest coffee place on the way into the office. Many times while walking from the car to my office I’ve found that my cup o’ joe is just too hot to handle, resulting...
