Fair Isle Success!

jenjoycedesign© Wee Hearts in Virtual Yarns Hebridean 2ply

Wee Hearts in nine different Fair Isle Hebridean 2ply colors!   Actually this hat is a study on one of Alice*Starmore’s colorways , a colorway from her design “Mary Tudor” from her 2013 second edition of Tudor Roses ,  using her own yarn, as sequenced in the chart. You could say this hat was a colorway test for Mary Tudor Cardigan, although I did change some colors around from the chart, because of a mistake I made.   I really came out of the study with a better understanding of how the blending of foreground color changes against background color changes can be in modern Fair Isle.

Now I am wondering, do I have time for one more?  Not really, I must be on to Autumnal Sweaters!

  1. Holy Moly! That is SO freaking pretty! It looks like a mountain sunset. Just beautiful. Your fingers must knit like the wind.

    • Yes MaryJo, I think there always is, especially as gift-giving season is fast approaching (it always surprises me how soon after July it just becomes December!) 🙂

I'd love to hear what you have to say...
