This week's #FairIsleFriday #knitting #colourwork #ShetlandWool
I can see the "seam" for the start of the round but don't care. Can add some decorative Swiss darning or something. It'll be a side seam.

Fair Isle Friday is a bit early bc I'm busy tomorrow.
Moved to 2 circs to let my knitting sprawl a bit: I was concerned my colourwork tension was too tight as I worked a lot of stitches on 1 needle.
Viewed from the back the tension is improving.

More frogging and knitting again.
Found 1 new mistake in the re-knitted rows: have decided to carry on. I'm sure it's character building or something.

_Sigh._
After careful measuring I've worked out that my Fair Isle piece...is probably too small for the recipient.
So: with much sighing and harrumphing, I've put it on a scrap yarn holder...and started again with a larger CO number.
In theory I can come back to it, ideally for myself, after I finish the bigger jersey.
_Much_ sighing. There's no way to knit 300+ sts per row quickly.

Finished 16-row pattern, and the immediate game of gold yarn chicken. #ShetlandWool #FairIsleFriday #colourwork #knitting

I've spent several evenings frogging back a large knitting project and winding the yarn on a swift. Dull dull dull, with occasional bouts of untangling.
Tonight I soaked and towel-dried the skeins to unkink them. Next step is a few more hours of ball winding.

Nearly done. Managing double-pointed needles of the wrong length is a fiddle.

It’s been quite an adventure evolving to using plant dyed yarns this year! To celebrate this, I’ve written an article “Slow Dyeing with Woad” on my website. 💙x

Thought you might appreciate this @tombarkas - it’s the hat I knitted after making a donation when @RSPB had a curlew crisis month a while ago. Mine has gone a bit felty after a wash but that’s made it cosier if anything. https://www.rspb.org.uk/globalassets/downloads/documents/conservation-projects/curlew-hat-final-pattern_23-april.pdf #knitting #hat #KnittingPattern #curlew #rspb #ShetlandWool
