Notes

My first FairIsle project! Great pattern. The thought of working FairIsle flat freaked me out at first, but it was over before I knew it, and was lot easier than I had expected.

Just have to finish the shoulders now.

Notes:
I swatched my fair isle in the round, to make sure my gauge was true.

Used Long Tail Tubular CO for Ribbing:

I found this helpful for getting up the nerve to knit fair isle.

Picking colors was so much fun. Too much fun :-)
