It's a Wrap

Nothing is quite as rewarding as finishing a successful knitting project, whether it's for you or a loved one. This must be especially true when the project is an adult-size Fair Isle sweater. However, I wouldn't know. The truth is, that while I love stranded knitting, I have never allowed myself the time needed to complete a large project. I tend to keep my multicolored projects on the small side -- like hats, mittens or baby items -- and reserve the adult garments for lace, cables and other textures.

While I was looking around at Fair Isle patterns for this issue's newsletter, I began to rethink this preference. With winter coming, I know I would love to slip into a stranded pullover knitted with at least six different colors. Not only would my sweater be beautiful, it would be wonderfully warm with two strands worked into every row. However, if I were to start now, I fear spring would be here before I finished. ... sigh. Perhaps, if I ever get to retire, I can fulfill this fantasy. In the meantime, it's another hat and mittens for me.

Knit on!
