In this case it was a double whammy – his computer was to stay in the living room till his bedroom passed muster. (Oh, the evil mom) and the chocolate was the last bar from my hoard.

Fairisle

As strange as it might seem, I haven’t really knit all that many stranded projects. Or perhaps I should say that I have avoided the traditional fair-isle. It always seemed way too difficult and too much work. Back, before I left on the last pair of cruises, I ordered a Starmore Kit. Oregon Vest to be specific.

and discovered once again that the stranding is not the issue

It is all the flipping color changes! I mean really – there is a color change in one or both colors every four rows at the outside and usually every two.

if there wasn’t a steek involved I would be totally insane. The good thing is that there will be no ends to weave in.

      Steeks are just not that hard – especially with shetland wools which want to stick together
