Here are 2 of my favorite pincushions. I couldn't get the link for the second one to post. But if you search pinterest or google it you can find it. I haven't made either one yet but plan to make both. I don't knit so I will have to figure out how to make the granny one.

Also I think there have been several pincushion exchanges on here, you could search them also.
