Another small project I am working on...

Well, maybe not so small but I feel I have to get this one done. I am teaching a class how to make the Fairly Easy Fair Isle from Stitch 'n' Bitch Nation starting the end of January. I have a sample I made last year when I taught this class but I wanted a new sweater and it is always easier if I have something similar going that I can demonstrate with. I will be teaching a sock class too so I have a lot of knitting to do to keep up with both classes. I thought it would help to get a head start.

The yarn is Lamb's Pride Bulky wool/mohair. I have the body of the sweater almost up to the underarms now. That is mostly simple stockinette. I decided to make a change in the Fair Isle design that I will use in this sweater. It is a much more complicated design than the one in the book. The small bit of knitting on top of the body piece is my swatch of the designs. I wanted to see how they will look. I am using some really bright colors so it should be interesting to see!
