I try to learn something new from each knitting project.

My first Fair Isle sweater. I think it turned out pretty well since the pattern is really well written.

I changed the colourway and leaned towards the cold-coloured spectrum but now I see I should have added some red to cheer up the yoke a bit.

Normally I would be size L but since I knew Icelandic wool tends to loosen a bit, I made it in size M. However, it is still on the loose side, especially in the stomach area. Some waist shaping might have helped.

I am sure this design would make a great cardigan!

Note: the photos were taken before the sweater was blocked.
