Fair Isle





I'm knitting fair isle! I can't believe it! I'm taking a fair isle class @ my LYS (Cultured Purl www.kniterie.com ) and the project for the class is a bag knit in the round. I don't have very much of it done but I'm very proud of myself. I also learned that while I thought I was an average knitter, I'm actually a VERY tight knitter. Guess who needs to loosen up a bit? The only issue I'm having is loosing my place in the chart. I'm VERY afraid of charts so this is a big step for me. Maybe I'll be able to do more advanced lace by being able to read charts. Anyways, it's very slow going b/c I tend to drop the color I'm not using and pick it back up later instead of trying to knit with 2 hands which I find VERY hard to do. Wish me luck!
