I stumbled upon this book in a yarn shop in Port Townsend the other day, and I just had to have it. I've always enjoyed color work, but I have the feeling that there are some tips and tricks to it that I'm missing. Not anymore!
My current project is to fine tune my fair-isle techniques, and this hat was my first experiment. Fair-isle knitting just means knitting intricate patterns that involve stranding, meaning that you carry the yarn short distances on the back of the knitting. Little did I know there are ways of doing color-work without stranding. I can't wait to learn about that, it's called intarsia. Stay tuned!
