I finished everything on Sir's pillow today except the final edge and stuffing it. I'm going to use a pillow case filled with fiberfill, I think. It may wait a couple of days until I can find a pillow case I'm willing to part with and cut up/sew shut.
The link to the project is here.
That's a Ravelry link, so you'll need a Rav account to view it, I think. Blogging is tough for me without my own computer right now, so that might be the best way to share photos for the time being. Sorry!
The two panels were knit flat separately using some yarn from a cute little shop in Ames, Iowa. I used a knitted box stitch from NewStitchaDay on Youtube (check them out!). I thought the fastest way to link the panels was to turn them right side in and take a crochet hook and slip stitch all the way around (except that last side I need to use to stuff) using the ends from knitting. This was the quickest way and conserved the little yarn I'd left for myself, plus it won't come apart later if I knot it up at each end point. Since it's seamed on the wrong side, when I turn it right side out to stuff, those seams won't be as obvious or stick out.
Ooh, and the best part is that since it's a pillow, I don't have to sew in any ends! Woohoo!!
Okeydokey, I'll be back with more updates later!
