Puffs on Pillows

Not sure what possessed me, but more grannies seem to be in progress.  Hideously ugly ones, I think, as the colors don't blend well together.  It's meant to be another never-ending scrap project, though.  Or an excuse to go to a craft store.  I could also stop when I have 24 of the buggers and make two pillows, which would do these puff stitches proud. 
Went to a discount outlet last year, and found some Lion Brand Jiffy in chunky weight.  Green is my favorite color, so I threw four skeins into my cart, having no earthly idea what I was going to make with it.  The next time I was on the Lion Brand site, this shawl-with-ties that they're calling a wrap came up almost immediately.  It called for exactly four skeins of Jiffy chunky, so I cast that puppy on.  It's not an exciting item to knit, but I grab it when I want something that doesn't require concentration.  The color is 'Citron'.  It's acrylic and will clash with everything within eyeshot, but I can't be expected to use reason when there's yarn on a clearance rack.
Here's my latest boring ole' washcloth.  I rely on this boring ole' stitch pattern way too often, and am probably in danger of losing an eye if I land on a needle falling asleep in mid-row.  That being said, I think I'll scout some patterns.  Round ones sound fun.
Have a great one, all, and happy stitching.
