It may have taken forever, but I finally managed to finish the knit pillows with a rebel symbol and the imperial symbol. It was one of my first experiences with dual color knitting and there were a few gaps that had to be tied together, but overall it was a success.
I underestimated the importance of blocking, and designed the pattern without fully taking into account on my graph paper that the stitch height and width aren’t equal. Still, it was a great learning experience and made for a great present to a friend.
