    About

    Finally finished it!
    I wanted to try Fairisle style knitting. I used the colour chart from the pattern, but I decided to have some fun by repeating the pattern with different colour combinations from the palette of 7 colours. It’s been easier than I anticipated, but did take a long time!

        Thank you! Most rows are only 2 colours, and if a colour isn’t going to be used again within a couple of rows it’s best to break off and rejoin later. It works for me, although you do have of lot of ends to tidy up when you’ve finished!
