For Sharyn

Please excuse my blog temper tantrum the other night. It was late, and I was tired. I felt like a failure because I could not fully grasp "grain" and how one would cut crosswise against it. I had grand notions of churning out skirts like a Nike factory worker.

What I lacked in sewing time, I made up for in quality visiting time, gym time and knitting time. I did get a fair amount of knitting done on Frilly Milly.

Teri and I have been having fun, and I have been sharing knitting groups stories, particularly how Sharyn (who claimed not like knitting) has turned into "a real knitter". In honor of Sharyn's descent into knitterly madness, what follows are some photos of Teri's first intensive Fair Isle project -- with steeks!
