Fear Isle no more,


Why, oh why, did I wait so long to even try fair isle! It's been a total blast to knit the mitten in a 3 day period. One could knit this in two days for sure, one day would be pushing it but I bet it is possible. lol! I have been so busy with the school's library that I haven't started the second one yet. I already have my eyes set on fair isle socks, hats, may I be tempted to say sweater!? Oh I see fair isle everywhere from now on...


Here's the little improv I did, it took way too long to chart and I even miscounted my rows but oh well, at least everyone will know whom this mitten belongs too.

I was tagged by Caroline for a meme so here I go:

THE RULES: Each player of this game starts with the 6 weird things about you. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says you are tagged in their comments and tell them to read your blog.

1. I can't drink cold water, it freezes my teeth each time. I do love tepid water though.

2. I compulsively search anything and everything I can think about on Google. It's worst when I plan to go somewhere or read a magazine.

3. When I was a baby my parents worried I wouldn't talk because of ankyloglossia commonly known as tongue tie. Boy were they wrong.

4. I don't drink alcohol nor does Carl for health reasons. We both had enough in the past to last a lifetime anyway.

5. I stress over what project to start next in a big way. I can spend a day feeling blue because I can't decide what to knit. It happens each time I finish a project. I look through all my knitting books, patterns and online sites each time.

6. I am surprised when people think I'm witty 'cause I consider myself a complete dork but I hope people will like me nonetheless. I am verrry shy and still have difficulty going up to people to talk even after years of knowing them.

If you have not done this meme yet, please consider yourselves tagged and let me know when you post your answers. :)

I often ask myself that too ;-) Took me two years to try it and now, I can't stop! Sweaters are easy! It's the little circumferences and dpns that make me go crazy. Posted by: Marina at January 29, 2007 09:24 PM
Look at what you can do! If I could, I would and would wear them everywhere...maybe even to bed! The look great! Congrats! Jan in PA Posted by: Jan in PA at January 30, 2007 12:26 AM
