Another pattern unleashed on the world! It’s been a good year for my knitting and I’m happy to end it on a high note with this jumper. Fair isle as far as the eye can see! It’s an incredibly warm knit and it turned out even classier than I imagined when I started knitting it for the first time. Don’t you just love it when that happens?
Always being on the look out for new construction techniques, I can highly recommend the ‘fake’ tubular ribbed bind-off for the collar on this jumper. It’s dead easy, looks neat and has none of the stretch that a ‘real’ tubular bind-off has. This makes it ideal for pockets, or in this case, square necklines that need to hold their shape.

Yes, awesome! I’m liking the snippet of sleeve fair-isle that appears above the body fair-isle. I’ll put it on my FB page, maybe you’ll get some purchases. 🙂
Yay thank you!
That looks so cosy 🙂 Great pattern!
Gorgeous! It’s rare to find colorwork patterns that look memorizable – the main thing that keeps me from buying them. This looks perfect for me!
