Ashley JubbI've been sick with the flu the past few days. I was too sick to get out of bed yesterday, but today I was able to get to the couch and drew up this colorwork pattern idea. I feel like it's missing something, but I'm not sure what yet. This is only the first 48 rows though so I'm sure it'll come to me. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/knitting?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitting</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/colorwork?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#colorwork</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/pattern?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pattern</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/yarn?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yarn</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fairisle?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fairisle</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/design?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#design</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/knit?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knit</a>

Allie 🌿Now that I've finally conquered my near-20-year fear of Fair Isle, I gotta go ham on some cheesy Christmas stockings for my partner and I.

Vicki DavisAt long last, I have two fronts, a back and two sleeves. Now all I have to do is knit the neckband and button band, sew in all the loose ends and store it somewhere moth-proof until my mum’s birthday in November!

Marie VC, PhDI've finished knitting my Shetland cardigan. I've kept all the scraps of yarn I've sewn. How much do you think it weighs? And if you put them end to end, how many metres would you get? Hint: a ball of this yarn weighs 25 gr or 105 metres.<a href="https://social.coop/tags/Knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Knitting</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Shetland" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Shetland</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/JamiesonsOfShetland" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#JamiesonsOfShetland</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Fairisle" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Fairisle</a>

Amanda HickieSquare eight of twenty for a blanket based on koginsashi designs, along with the chart it came from.I struggled to find a palette of wools that gave me more breadth but the same feel as the book. Really happy with the colours - from Jamieson of Shetland.

Autoerotic Defenestrationokay, now I'm disappointed in the <a href="https://mastodon.cloud/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitting</a> community as a whole.Yes, even in YOU!No one made a <a href="https://mastodon.cloud/tags/FairIsle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FairIsle</a> sweater with the inscription of the One Ring on the yoke???No one? Really?We have failed. Collectively and individually.

Maarten OrnsteinI've got a few more images to share from my time on Fair Isle. This is the only church on the island, under some heavy clouds. It's very beautiful inside too from what I could see, but sadly it was locked. <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/blackandwhitephotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blackandwhitephotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fensterfreitag?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fensterfreitag</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fairisle?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fairisle</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/scotland?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scotland</a>

A bend gules: dabbler in artsThe weebly wobbly line down the middle is the start of the rows, approximately. I decided since I was cutting these stitches as a steek the pattern repeats didn't have to end perfectly. I'll straighten the steek, and backstitch both edges before cutting ✂️ <a href="https://medievalist.masto.host/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitting</a> <a href="https://medievalist.masto.host/tags/FairIsle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FairIsle</a> <a href="https://medievalist.masto.host/tags/steeks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#steeks</a> <a href="https://medievalist.masto.host/tags/KittingTechniques" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KittingTechniques</a> <a href="https://medievalist.masto.host/tags/ScaryNewThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScaryNewThings</a>

A bend gules: dabbler in artsNot sure which is worse: doing an hour of grafting (aka Kitchener stitch), or having to undo an hour's worth of grafting and pick stitches up again, bc you were an idjit and started on the wrong side. Took an hr to notice bc I was juggling grafting sts and TV.

Amanda HickieDespite having barely begun the blanket, I'm fairly certain this will turn out to be one of my favour squares - the gold in the brown and the progressive pattern just draw your eye - and one of my least favourite to knit. The repeat is long, about forty stitches, and the start shifts continuous so I never got off chart. Made me cross-eyed reading every. single. stitch. off the chart.Love this wool<a href="https://aus.social/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitting</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/fairisle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fairisle</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/blanket" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blanket</a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/JamiesonsOfShetland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JamiesonsOfShetland</a>

Undiscovered ScotlandSouth Haven and Sheep Rock on beautiful Fair Isle. This is Scotland's most remote inhabited island, some 25 miles south-west of the southern tip of Mainland Shetland and some 30 miles north-east of the nearest of the Orkney Islands.

Marie VC, PhDFinding a harmonious combination with the yarns/colours I already had turned out to be a challenge. After 5 or 6 attempts, I settled on this combination. The swatch passed the black and white test (to check contrasts) but I didn't add any poison colour.Pattern: Mioness (Violet M.B. McQuade)Yarn: Shetland Spindrift (Jamieson's of Shetland)<a href="https://social.coop/tags/Knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Knitting</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Shetland" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Shetland</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Fairisle" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Fairisle</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/JamiesonsOfShetland" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#JamiesonsOfShetland</a>
