fair isle trials and tribulations.



i have made progress on the fair isle and i think the work is finally turning out to be a success. and it is certainly great fun to work on it. it is turning out exactly as retro/vintage as me and ulrika the recepient would like it to. the colours are even nicer than i thought at first and i will finish it tomorrow. but it has cost a certain amount of thinking and frogging. and i am not sure about the choice of yarn. the swatch is a swatch for my next project the lovely meg swansen saddle-shoulder aran cardi that i have been very much inspired to knit by jared and elli after seeing their fo's on theirr blogs and on http://zimmermaniacs.blogspot.com . i will post the finished sweater very soon.
