    I'm actually working on 2 fair isle projects, but both are giving me lots of stress. My gauge increases tremendously in the fair isle yokes and my sts are terribly inconsistent. My most recent finished fair isle project was Afmaeli which used thick lopi yarn and was much more forgiving then the sport I'm using now. Savannagal on Rav.

    I have six copies of Staci's color your cowl coloring page in front of me. I am astounded by the difference just one color or one gradient makes! I am going to do her cowl, but not when it is 105 degrees in GA! I will be doing it immediately when the temps come down a bit. In the summer, I generally knit lace and small things like washclothes and socks! Thank you for the great giveaways and for Staci's wealth of knowledge!

    I haven't tried Fair Isle yet but I did see Staci's new video (I never miss them) and love the idea of the coloring page to get your design. I will be trying the cowl pattern soon. Thanks for the chance to win the needle set looks amazing. I need to upgrade to an interchangeable set that is more substantial, I have plastic now.
