Hi everyone! This month I am taking part in a blog hop at http://theinspiredroom.net/ She is challenging bloggers to post 31 days in a row. Each week will have a different theme... week one is yarn, week 2 is Halloween, week 3 is paper and week 4 is Christmas. I hope you will join me!
Most of you know how much I love to knit... pretty much my favorite activity. I learned 3 years ago after sitting way too many hours at the hockey rink. It is such a great, portable activity... especially when you sit at lots of kid's activities.
My knitting teacher Andrea taught me everything I know... including knitting fair isle.
I love color, which makes fair isle knitting especially fun... Before I start I usually make a chart on graph paper giving me an idea for the pattern.
I knit these this summer...I'm mailing them to a very special friend for her birthday. (Hi P.W.!)
These were a summer project too... I can't wait to wear them this winter!
I made this for my niece Sophia... she refuses to pull it over her head. It is such a fun pattern to knit... you can find it here...http://www.spudandchloe.com/blog/
I'm knitting these this week for someone who happens to have 8 grandchildren. I found the fair isle pattern here...http://www.ravelry.com/designers/sandra-jager She has so many fun charts to choose from!
I would love it if you would follow me... or subscribe to my emails... xoxo Jenni
Fantastic! Well done!
