After a lot of swatching and color-charting I decided that the Aftur colorwork is just not right for the colors I have available, and so I’m changing the whole yoke to use only two colors and patterns adapted from Traditional Fair Isle Knitting by Sheila McGregor. I hope it looks good. Oh, and I added some waist shaping, based on the Salina pattern.

What is scary is that I may have bought enough yarn to make TWO sweaters. Will have to see how much is left after this one is finished, but it looks to be very likely. Shilasdair kits are enormous.

After I finished it I tried it on and decided the neck was too snug, so I took it back out and ripped a few rows out to make it wider. It’s really done now, except for the blocking and photos!
