Fascinated with Fair Isle!!

It began innocently enough, this treacherous adventure into the world of FAIR ISLE. I know it sounds like an evil villain island, right? An innocuous name that no one would suspect draws in it's prey, the luscious patterns and variety of colors, all illusions to steal knitters from their daily lives to desire knitting this intricate items day in and day out.  But back to the beginning, it's really all my sister's fault (just like a little sister to blame it on the older sister huh?). Over a year ago I pledged to knit my sister and her husband Christmas stockings, they only came to fruition this year, but the results were magnificent, at least for this knitting super hero. The journey continues with this new identified super power, fair isle knitting. Now I prowl the internet and knitting shops looking for patterns and ideas to design and knit blankets, hats, mittens, gloves...you name it I want to knit it to save the world. The only catch to this saving the world plan, is that I still haven't finished some of my other knitting obligations. So much to knit so little time... Now I must venture back into the addictive habit but stay tuned to the same knit time same knit channel.
