I know it's a lot of work, but that sweater is gorgeous and would be so pretty as a sweater and not just a vest.<BR/><BR/>The more I look at the pics, the more I fall in love.

Obviously it's easier to shape stuff that isn't fair isle, but I could see myself steeking a solid sweater just for the fun of it. <BR/><BR/>I can't wait to see the progression!

But start by looking at the ones you like, or think about the color families you like to wear. <BR/><BR/>Also, think about the ones you don't like and why. Make some swatches just for fun and prepare to see things differently than you expect.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04278529449974055377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11679111.post-1160067737533037772006-10-05T10:02:00.000-07:002006-10-05T10:02:00.000-07:00I have to say, while I'm still not to crazy about ...I have to say, while I'm still not to crazy about the colours (sorry!), I absolutely adore the greyscale version! It's a lovely pattern.<BR/><BR/>This brings me to my question, can you offer any tips on subbing colours in a fair-isle design? So many times I've loved a certain design, but disliked the colours. Should I just do like you did and try a bunch of colours until I get a combination I like?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11679111.post-1160066849889040902006-10-05T09:47:00.000-07:002006-10-05T09:47:00.000-07:00Excellent first lesson!Excellent first lesson!Jerry & Maxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02270023152039333536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11679111.post-1160062466639992012006-10-05T08:34:00.000-07:002006-10-05T08:34:00.000-07:00Nice.I love it!

A Steek Lesson would be awesome, as I'm seriously contemplating a steeked sweater as my next sweater (and my first steeks)! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the idea of plying the yarn with another. I have some tussah silk that I've decided to ply it with!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495123447176751636noreply@blogger.com
