One of the things that is particularlly appealing to me, aside from the amazing color combinations, is that the sweaters work up into a very lightweight garment. I have since moved to San Diego and I can still wear the few that I have. Her cable books are amazing as well.

I forgot one useful little trick for planning a Fair Isle colorway - and that's to photograph (or scan) the yarns in a swatch, then convert to black-and-white/greyscale. That allows you to check that you don't have two "contrasting" yarns in the same value, or a bunch of colors that are of the same value. (You want some variation.)Ranahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11041247235612040796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-63937628752501863782009-01-30T12:51:00.000-05:002009-01-30T12:51:00.000-05:00The colorwork bug has been nibbling at me again......The colorwork bug has been nibbling at me again...I cannot wait to see your swatches & vest.<BR/><BR/>Last year I made a 20s FI pattern for a skating scarf & hat that have since been lost in a move. :-(<BR/><BR/>I've got so much to learn about colorwork in general, but FI is first on the list!Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00715879532362099469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-61349180796721033472009-01-30T12:34:00.000-05:002009-01-30T12:34:00.000-05:00Perhaps it has been said already, but inter librar...Perhaps it has been said already, but inter library loan is a thing of beauty.

It was shortly after I had missed a buying a used book only to decide I wanted it and it was sold and out of print and in high demand. (I finally got it when it went back into print several years later.) I looked at Alice's book and decided that some day my knitting skill might reach that level and good knitting books were still rare at that time and not in high demand. I finally used it last year after dreaming over it for years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-34083483460001763392009-01-30T04:20:00.000-05:002009-01-30T04:20:00.000-05:00wow great post.
