I have wanted to practice my fair isle knitting because I have in my stash some yarn and a pattern for a sweater. This kit was on sale, and I couldn't resist the price.
The pattern itself was very easy, but there was something wrong with the gauge. I read all the reviews and everyone said that it came out too large. So, I decided to drop down one size on the needles. Well, it was still too big, so I ripped it all out and came down one more size on the needles. I had to add some rows to it because it was coming out to short, but I finally got something that was wearable.
I am not too thrilled with the acrylic yarn. I prefer natural fibers, but it will be good as an extra hat.
I also have this hat that I knitted last month. I forgot to put it into my 2018 finishes.
This one was also knitted of acrylic yarn in my stash. Ha! The pompom kinda got away from me on this one!
Stay warm!

Nice knitting! Weird stuff on the gauge though. Color work is my favorite type of knitting!
