Slave to the Needles

I'm a committed crocheter as those of you who know me will already know, but for some reason recently I've had the urge to knit. I have always shied away from it before after brief dalliances, perhaps been too impatient maybe, but I'm really enjoying it now....and I've even been tackling Fairisle knitting. I never dreamed that would happen as I am not a person who enjoys fiddly stuff usually but anyway....here's a picture of my first ever Fairisle knitted creation....full of mistakes but not too shabby for a first attempt:

Yes the cabling went out of the window pretty quick but I think it's ok...the pattern is available here and it's simple and lovely, big thank you to the creator who kindly made it available for everyone to enjoy :) Next up: a snowflakey Fairisle mug hug!

Much love.
