second go at fair isle yoke





here is my sister in her garden wearing her new fair isle sweater. as you can see her taste colours of sweaters and flowers are very similar. and it has been interesting to do this in quite a different array of colours than the one i recently finished for her daughter. the one on the needles for the daughter/granddaughter will be a mix of both.

i am once again in awe of the eps system. what a strike of genius. one little number and then you can just create and create sweaters with a lovely fit as we see it all the time.
the wool is once again alpaca at 25 stitches to 4 inches from my lys and everything is knitted on addi turbos which are the best needles a knitter can ask for in my opinion.

  • That is really beautiful. You would die of heat stroke if you wore a heavy sweater outside today : )
