I'm sure I mentioned last week that I was going to try and finish some projects that really just need half an hour or less, but a challenge issued by a member of my craft group sent me off in pursuit of new yarn to complete a new project for me.
Just love these colours together, I am totally loving that lime green colour which is a bit unusual not a colour that is normally in my colour scheme.
I could hardly wait until I got home on Friday to get started.
It has been a lot of years since I tried a fair isle design and I thoroughly enjoyed working on this.
The pattern is a design by Amanda Jones and appears in a Simply Knitting Christmas special from 2010.
Lovely colours to brighten what has been a very grey weekend.
I'm all done - it is far from perfect but I am still very happy with the finished item and will figure out how to wear it now that the weather has decided cold is the perfect temperature.
The challenge was to have this finished so I can return the book to the owner when we meet for craft group on Tuesday. I made it with a couple of days to spare. Yay!Now to the almost done projects - they will be finished.
Hope your weekend has been filled with warm projects too.

I love fair isle but haven't knitted any for 20 years. You've reminded me how gorgeous it is. Fabulous work.
