Using my stash

I'm participating in my first CAL (Crochet A-Long) online and the pattern we are working on together is a corner to corner crochet stitch.  Some are making blankets, some are making washcloths.  After looking through my stash of yarn and playing around with different colors I finally settled on using my skeins of Lion Brand Tweed Stripes yarn and making a pillow.

Actually, I had previously made a cowl with the yarn and while I loved it, I discovered that I don't look so great in a cowl (at least not the bulky one I made).  It was a sad day to rip that lovely thing out, but I'm happy again seeing this pillow I can enjoy everyday!
