I don't sew (yet), don't have a sewing machine (yet), so steeking feels very much beyond me at this point. :)jennhxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08608037243437722333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29135928.post-6927161095192180122007-02-28T07:39:00.000-05:002007-02-28T07:39:00.000-05:00Thanks Jen, I'm with you fair isle should be the n...Thanks Jen, I'm with you fair isle should be the next fad!. I is so much fun to do. I'm always singing little songs for the pattern repeats...green, green, eat a bean....blue too..blue too! I'll admit when I read the patterns, even my own, the steeking part makes my head swim...but if you just, do it, its really fun and you feel kind of daring!mary janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08301321987086186671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29135928.post-40089440942283909742007-02-27T18:44:00.000-05:002007-02-27T18:44:00.000-05:00Congratulations on your published pattern! I thin...Congratulations on your published pattern! I think Fair Isle is very cool. In fact, it should become the next fad, don't you think? I am in the midst of my first fair isle project -- a very simple one with bulky yarn -- but it is soooo fun. It's easy and the results look so impressive. Maybe when I'm done I'll try to tackle something more challenging... yours looks beautiful, and my hubby is still waiting for a sweater......<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>-<A HREF="http://jennhx.com" REL="nofollow">Jennhx</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29135928.post-73723495369671870112007-02-27T08:38:00.000-05:002007-02-27T08:38:00.000-05:00twinkle pink, thanks for the lovely story about yo...twinkle pink, thanks for the lovely story about your mom and grandma! No one in my family knit. I love hearing knitting stories as much as I love old pictures of people knitting or wearing fair isle garments! <BR/>And Petula, come on over (all 7.5 Hrs of driving) and I'll give you a LIVE tutorial. Or you can help snap pics for a slide-show version.
