Bubbles Bolster

My gauge swatch for the Bubbles Bolster: the last of the pillows for the (yet to be purchased) Studio Day Bed.

There are several mistakes in the cables which is another good reason to make a gauge swatch: to practice the stitch pattern!

My gauge seems okay.  I think I have enough room in the gauge to knit a little more tightly, and am resolved to rip back if it seems off later on.

The yarn took to steam-blocking.  After a couple of passes with the iron the fabric really softened and opened up.

The biggest risk is deciding on the size before having the couch in my posession.  The pattern is only 6 x 14, and each pillow is 18 x 20.  Currently I anticipate making 6 x ?????
