Then I learned how to knit continental and now I can keep the yarns from getting all twisted, even when I have to carry the yarn over more than 3 stitches. Keep at it and eventually you will find what works for you.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377785026528239820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4692090281859883536.post-16651780707608830652008-01-22T00:30:00.000-05:002008-01-22T00:30:00.000-05:00Looks good, I haven't really done any two color kn...Looks good, I haven't really done any two color knitting other than mosaic knitting.

I'm dying to learn fair isle but kinda scared to try it out, since I have a feeling it would end up with some yarn very tangled and me very frustrated. Yours looks great for a first attempt, though!<BR/><BR/>My understanding of the fair isle/intarsia difference is that intarsia is when you have a big block of color, like a circle in the middle of a square or something, and fair isle usually involves more continuous interaction between the two colors, if that makes any sense? That's how one of my books explains it but really I think the lines are kinda blurred. Whatever you call it, it looks great!Leeannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11750071364536217663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4692090281859883536.post-7468101733238638172008-01-21T21:48:00.000-05:002008-01-21T21:48:00.000-05:00http://www.magknits.com/Nov06/patterns/fakeisle.ht...http://www.magknits.com/Nov06/patterns/fakeisle.htm is fake isle. Krystal made one, and I already had it on my list of todo patterns, and that just pushed me over. So far so good.

I'm probably wrong. :) Looks great though! Really. It gets easier.Krystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09478929367733687681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4692090281859883536.post-58637775131165128812008-01-21T17:14:00.000-05:002008-01-21T17:14:00.000-05:00It doesn't look bad.

I googled fair isle and color knitting and came up with some good stuff. I am staring my fake fair isle hat, so wish me luck!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05247443626425489882noreply@blogger.com
