In Love With Fair Isle

I am in love!
 
Just before the holidays I (unwisely) decided to
sign up for a class to learn
Fair Isle knitting.
 
Little did I realize how addictive this new skill would become.


 
Our project was a Baa-ble Hat
(Thanks Quinn :-)


See the cute little sheep!
 
My oldest grandchild liked it but asked if
I could make one with hearts.
 
Well....I don't know...I told her.  But I'll try.
Not having done this before and not knowing I could
go to Pintrest or Ravelry for charts,
I downloaded some graph paper
and came up with a design...
 
that worked!!!
 
 
After the first success I decided each of my
precious grandchildren
needed one for Christmas.
But Jack needed different colors...and he needed sheep.
 
Think I drove everyone crazy knitting in every spare moment.


The outcome was worth it!
 
 
Then my beautiful daughter-in-law asked if
she could have one.


I was thrilled to oblige.

 
Of course this was the warmest Christmas on record
so hats didn't get worn...
...until now - 39 degrees this morning :-)
 
 
Until next time ~
