Cable cushion cover

In a break from my usual design style, my latest pattern release is this cable cushion cover. Caithness was inspired by a design challenge on Ravelry, to design, surprise surprise, a cushion or pillow, on the theme of texture, specifically using cables. The timing of this challenge was perfect, as I happened to have four orphan balls of different coloured DK weight yarn that I really wanted to use up, preferably together as the colours worked together nicely, but I had no clue what I wanted to do with them. 
Flipping through a stitch dictionary earlier, I had already fallen in love with the Celtic Cable stitch pattern and really wanted to use it for something but I didn't know what. The design challenge brought those two elements together. I would use the cable stitch pattern for the cushion, and use the four balls of different coloured but same weight yarn together in a textured design. 
The name Caithness comes from the Celtic Cable. Having already got an alliterative descriptive in celtic cable cushion cover, I had to have a name that began with C, and then it was just a case of looking over a map of Scotland to find a suitable place name beginning with C to bestow upon my cushion.
