On the Needles Again...

OK, I haven't really been off the needles, but I have been working on this shawl that is taking me forever because the rows are really long now and they get even longer every fourth one and my shoulders have been bothering me, so I can only sit and do about 4 rows at a time. The good news is there are only 31 rows left...so maybe I'll have it done by the end of August. I have to put on the decorative edging too. It's going to be the purtiest shawl ever when it's done. Anyway, in the meantime, I took a break from the shawl and knitted this cute little round pillow. It turned out very nice. It is a combination of Bernat Softee Chunky and somebody's fun fur stuff that I got for $1 at Big Lots. It's a rather small pillow, just for decoaration. I think I might add a tassel onto each side to spruce it up.
