First Fair Isle and Swatch Bag
This sweater is a sideways fair isle sweater inspired
by Janida Barber's essay in the Spring 1992 Spin-Off.
Mine is all natural colors, mostly from my favorite
"australia connection" -- Barb at Shepherd's Hut!
This one piece sweater design works quite well in fairisle
because the stranding stabilizes the sideways knitting!
Here is the Swatch Bag I made from the HUGE array
of swatches I have made out of natural colored fleece--
please note my attempt at the spindle pattern from the
Spin-Off anniversary sweater. Of course, the uninitiated
often think that it is Xmas tree or a medical symbol!
And here they both are together--with the fairisle
swatch showing!
