Experience of Making

This was a pretty simply knit: basically just two pieces of fabric. But a lot of the effort of making this piece went into the small details: a stamp, the multicolored edging, and finding just the right buttons to reflect some of the participant’s other interests. The back of the pillow isn’t visible in this photo, through it has a top triangle that’s folded down, just like the back of an envelope.
