Stash Buster

I have quite a stash of yarn. But, it seems that everytime I want to make something new, I don't seem to have "just the right color/weight" of yarn - so, off I go to the store to buy even MORE yarn. 

So, when I saw this pattern, I thought it would be good to make a sofa pillow with my stash.

 

As some of you are probably saying to 

"she's not going to use very much yarn making a sofa pillow"

Well, you're right.... Somehow, I thought I would have used more. 

 But, I AM going to make a second pillow - even a larger pillow 

(because I have a larger pillow form on hand!)

 

I went with a simple Granny Square for the other side.  

I don't make granny squares very often, I forget how much fun they are to make!

  I had so much fun with this stitch. It kept me counting, 

but I didn't have to keep looking at the pattern.
