Fair Isle Obession

This is what I have been working on, which is keeping me offline most nights.

The Glenesk Cardigan Designed by Jade Starmore

My third Knit Picks Sipalu Bag Designed by Kerin
I love watching the picture develop. I prefer fair isle patterns with the look of tapestry. I sometimes think I was born in the wrong century. I am reading one of Monica Ferris' needlecraft Mysteries, Knitting Bones. It is like sneaking away at lunch time to chat with knitting friends.

That's very pretty! You're doing a wonderful job.

I read Knitting Bones and I just finished reading Thai Dye. I like Monica Ferris. Have you read the Maggie Sefton series too?

Cas,
Sorry I have been away from the blog. Yes I read Maggie Sefton and Barbara Hechtman as well. I enjoy the needlecraft mysteries.
