I've been working on a fair isle pillow for awhile now, and I finally cut the steek this weekend. Eek! Now I just need to finish the binding, block, and make the backing (probably a piece of chocolate brown linen). After cutting, my pillow cover measures about 18 inches square. The full-scale blanket pattern called for 5 repeats across and 5 repeats high. This is only 2 repeats by 1.5 repeats! So, if knitting an entire fair isle blanket is as daunting to you as it was to me, I'd recommend making a pillow. Heck, it only took me 7 months to get this far. I don't even want to know how long it would take me to make a blanket at that rate.
