Fair Isle

Fair Isle Speed Swatch

This past weekend I took a workshop on designing fair isle sweaters from Janine (aka Feral Knitter).  It was wonderful! We started with an inspiration photo; and picked out colors that were in the photo’s color families and then knit up a speed swatch.  Day two began the motif swatch; and mine needed a bit of tweaking.  Pictures of that when it’s blocked.

Blog upgraded

I upgraded the Wordpress software that runs the blog. Seems like it went pretty well – let me know if you see any weirdness as you’re browsing around.

In the meantime, here’s something pretty to look at: (click to see bigger – it’s worth it :)

It’s too nice out to knit. Although I did knit a bit on a sock on my way into work this morning. :)
