Hi All! I haven't introduced myself yet, so I guess I should do that first. I'm Danielle and I have been knitting for a little over a year. I've been scared of fair isle knitting (although I can knit both English and Continental), so I decided to make some fair isle mittens. I selected the Nordic Mittens from IK Winter '04 and cast on Friday afternoon. I think I made a mistake, a good one though. I think I should have picked a harder project. Silly me. I've already finished the first mitten. So, I'm already planning other projects I can do in this time. Anyone have some advice on relatively easy fair isle that will still take me a while to complete?

Oooh, pretty. I'm doing fair isle for the KO, too, though I haven't added any photos yet. I'm doing fair isle socks & they are also going much, much faster than I thought they would. I'm going to be doing crocheting UFO olympics as well but I also want to find another fair isle project to work on when these socks are done. I'll probably just do another pair of socks with a different pattern. We'll see.
