Liberty Throw Pillow

A little fair isle experiment:



I've been wanting to try out the lovely fair isle Liberty blanket pattern by Mason Dixon Knitting, but its size seems a little ambitious. For starters, I'm making a set of throw pillows for our couch using only 2 repeats of the pattern, rather than 5.


Once I cut the steek, the fair isle panel will be about 18 x 18 or 20 x 20. This 12 x 18 pillow form is just for showing off the pattern in its present tubular state!

The window above the couch:


This elegant transom window sits above the couch. I think its patterns will play nicely with Liberty, which is why I picked this knit for our living room.
