First Fair-Isle
I had a blast this afternoon picking out Alpaca at Lettuce Knit, my favourite LYS.
I may know absolutely nothing about Fair-Isle, but I know I love picking out 6 skeins of Blue Sky Alpacas, my favourite yarn on the planet.
The project will be the Composed Mitts from the Fall 2007 Interweave Knits for a dear friend for Christmas. I think this is the perfect excuse to learn a new knitting technique.
I managed to purchase the pattern online from Interweave -- quick and easy!
As usual, Ravelry Notes here will likely have more frequent updates than the blog.
