I tried to leave, but they followed me home! Ah well, I need a pair of (fingerless?) gloves anyway. And fair isle WILL be twice as warm. And the yarn is so very nice...
But I have to finish Ms. O's project first!
I think I can safely mention that I'm making fingerless gloves at my friends request. They *were* in two-tone cabling which I scrapped because I couldn't figure it out. I then switched to some fair isle which is just zipping along!
And of course, when I got accosted by the Mission Falls in my LYS today, I found information in the Vogue Stitchionary (book 3 - colourwork) allll about two-tone cabling. Oh sweet yarn, I want those books so very very badly, they are a real source of ideas for me. Anyway, I REALLY have to go write that paper now...
Yeah, I hate it when yarn follows me home. No matter what you say to it, it just keeps on acoming. Bad yarn! ;-)
ReplyDeleteGood on ya! Fair isle on DPNs -- my nemesis. Or one of them, anyway. :-)
Every time I see that tweedy, brownish yarn I drool. What is it?
i like your fingerless gloves! i'm contemplating some for my mother-in-law right now. they really could be the perfect, easy knitted gift. :)
