Notes

I’m now addicted to Fair Isle knitting. So much fun. I love working my way through the motifs. The colors are so much prettier in person. (My daughter chose the Wedding Day colorway)

Took the class on Crafsy by Mary Jane Mucklestone - it was a great intro for colorwork! (Which I had never attempted) (Modern Stranding Techniques)

Ran out of (DARK) green RIIIIIIIIIGHHHHHTTTTT at the last minute (on the last row that used the dark green), so frustrating….. so I just had to substitute a few of the last stitches with the light green of the motif.

Used the cream instead of beige for the crown - since my daughter’s jacket is white - so I thought this looked better.

Had quite a bit left of the beige & white

Using magic loop method. (double points and I don’t get along)
