Seat Pad

First I must say that the colour of these photos is wrong.  In real life it is are much more orange.  I actually prefer the more pink version.  There must be something on my camera that needs adjusting - too much technology. 
This is my first seat pad.  I'm going to make 3 more.  When I showed Amelia she said 'is that so the cats will be more comfortable!'  Well no, it's so I'll be more comfortable. 
This is quite an extravagant pattern, mainly because I have lots of yarn that I bought on sale.  I have used 3 strands of double knit throughout.  Its a  wool/mohair/soy mix. It also has a backing that is double knit (worsted weight) acrylic.  My favourite part is the bobbles on the backing come through the gaps on the fringing on the front. I didn't plan that but it seemed like a fun thing to do.
