fair isle, in progress.

Here's progress on my First Fair Isle Sweater by yu co, featured in Amirisu magazine. I actually had to rip a few rows back because I forgot to change my background color to the cast iron, and I want to follow the fair isle pattern as written.This is the project I'm working on for the So Very Shannon "BT in the Wild" knit along, which started in August--the goal is to knit a sweater featuring either Brooklyn Tweed yarns or a Brooklyn Tweed pattern. I'm using Loft, which of course, is a dream, as always. Despite all knitters voting for a two-week extension, I'm still definitely not finishing in time, which is a bummer, but onto focusing on the positives.I'm loving the way it's coming out and I think my colors are contrasting enough to really show the color work. I learned some interesting new techniques for the neckline and sleeve shaping and if it fits well, I might use as a guide in the future. This is also a stash busting project--a goal of mine in most of my knitting for the past few years--and I'm thrilled to know I didn't have to purchase new materials to make this sweater.Here's to cooler climes; I'll have the impulse to work on it this weekend.
