Pillow Pet Collar

I made this last night for my daughter's pillow pet...I think I'll make some for the dogs now.

FOR THE FUN OF IT...

It started on Thanksgiving night when my daughter and I were spending time with my ex-husband's grandmother, GG.  GG is 80 years young and has always been active whether participating in a book club, taking Tai Chi or teaching a knitting class.  And this is where the story begins...

Thanksgiving night GG taught me and my 6 year old daughter how to knit hats.  It was pretty comical to see the 3 of us sitting there like 3 little old ladies knitting hats.  Needless to say, I was 'hooked' and thus begun my love of yarn and creative yarn fashion.

New Year's Eve GG took my daughter and I to a local restaurant for lunch.  I was wearing one of the berets I had recently crocheted.  While we were eating a young waitress came to the table and asked where I got my hat.  I told her that I made it and offered to make her one and deliver it to her by the end of the week...I will be delivering my first 'sold' hat to Bobbie on Friday.
