I always have so many other projects going on (lots of tatting too of course!) that my knitting time was limited. In fact when I get going with Fair Isle, I'm always surprised by how quickly it seems to grow even in spite of all those colour changes.Frivolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03089700335018742440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-51212340318783624052016-02-24T09:25:00.195+00:002016-02-24T09:25:00.195+00:00Oh no, I certainly do not have the patience of a s...Oh no, I certainly do not have the patience of a saint! :-)) But the wonderful mix of colours has kept me captivated and motivated so that I finally got to the end.

GORGEOUS! I am in total awe! Everything about it is perfect, including the button! <br /><br />I had recently checked to see what Alice is doing lately. I hope her yarn business is going well for her, and I see her daughter is involved in the business. I recently found another photo of her at our guild's workshop back in 1992 (seems like yesterday!) I still regret that I'm not in the photo, but at least she's at a table with other ladies from our group, proving she really was here! And I have several of her books, locked away in my cabinet! However, other than a small teddy bear sweater using some pattern stitches, I haven't knit any of her sweaters! Of course her books are more than knitting books - they are history books and 'travelogues', and lessons on appreciation of nature and its colors that surround us. <br /><br />Congratulations again on finishing this beautiful sweater!
