Charted Rhona's Fair Isle Tunic is not ready to be knitted, not just yet
Stretched out in bed with a bad bug, what a way to start blogging. This can only improve.
I have been wrapped up in fair-isle pattern color creation. It is not easy to succeed and get the colors to sing.
From my horizontal position my view on knitting is slightly angled to a non-productive state.
It does not always have to be bad, not having some piecework or clothing growing on my needles.
There is a time to think things over too.
All those color worked patterns out there that I have knitted through the years. Maybe they have slowed down my own creativity and put me to sleep when it comes to make something on my own accord and with self confidence? (Hmm). Looking at my Fair Isle swatch I think that I am on to something.
As soon as my camera can start to up or is it download the pictures of the swatches I will post them here in memory of my struggles.
Thsi is my first swatch ever on fair isle and I did it in Ocean City, just before the beginning of January 2015.
it is fun to play with yarn and colors and to see how things change when they are put into different relations in the pattern.
In time and with some more effort the Fair Isle might become more alive to me.
