Finished: (not yet)
Pattern: Herringbone Stitch Pillow by Lion Brand Yarns
8/30/2015:
The power was out, and so we did a lot of knitting yesterday. I finished my socks, and needed something I could work on even when the light started to fail. So I started this pillow. It's chunky yarn that I can knit by feel. I got about 12 rows done last night. So far this feels like it'll be a quick, easy knit. But no pictures yet, since I didn't want to use my phone battery any more than necessary.

Got a few more rows done. It's looking good so far!
9/30/2015: I finished the first (of three) skeins of yarn, and I was only about halfway through the front, so I ordered more yarn. I'm now almost 2/3 through the front side. (No pictures at this time.) It's going pretty well, except that if I get distracted I forget to change pattern and end up tinking back a lot. But I think it's going to be beautiful when it's done.

I'm just a few rows from finishing the front. Need to discuss with Mom how big she actually wants it. We might choose a smaller pillow form, and give it bigger seam allowances. But she'll be on vacation for a while, so that discussion will have to wait until she returns. But I'm not sure if I want to start the back until I know what size we're making. So this might have to hibernate until her return. No picture at this time, but I might remember to add one later.
