Notes

This is a lesson in how not to do fairisle! The pattern is good, the technique is good, but the colour combination is dreadful. A total waste of time. I wanted to do the fairisle band from one ball of multicoloured cotton and I thought there would be enough contrast between the that and the pink, but there wasn’t.
I’m going to try it again as I like the pattern, but just using pink and white.

Round two:
Skirt: cast on 96 st in pink, k2 rows in white, 2 rows in pink. St st 2 rows in white, the 13 rows of fairisle border.
The sweater is the simple one from the sweater pattern.

Having sewn them up I’ve decided 96 st is too many for the skirt, and it’s too long. Works for a dress, not a skirt.
