What do you make when you
have 1oz of 20 different colors? Fair Isle! The only problem is that Fair Isle
is best used with a stretchy yarn that is forgiving of the long floats across
the back. Silk is not stretchy at all. But I am willing to give it a try because
what else can I do with 20 one oz skeins?
The other option would be to
do a honeycomb stitch similar to these mittens my sister knitted for me a
couple years ago.
I think I will have to make
something that doesn’t need to be fitted or to stretch to wear. A simple tube
would work best – maybe a hood tube or tube hood. I don’t know, I will do some
sketching.
