The 2 handed Fair Isle class is next weekend and I'm just finishing up the photography, writing of the pattern, and re-doing the matching sock! I still need to get it off to the tech editor and then off to the printers....yikes, how do I get myself into these terrible deadlines?! It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for me wanting to change everything after the fact - and working on size 2 needles. Like for instance, on this hat, the trim was supposed to be a hem. Once I did the hem, I didn't like it. It was too bulky. So I changed it to a tiny roll which I like. But then I thought that I would prefer if all 3 projects start and look the same. So now I want to rewrite the pattern to begin with a 2 row seed stitch. Also - I think the hat is just a tad snug - by say half an inch. I can easily change the pattern but I don't have time to re-knit it so I think I'll have to write out the 2 trim options. As for the gauntlets, love the look - but need to tweek the pattern. The cuff was a tad tight on a few of my friends so want to work it up in 2 sizes. Then the hand part of the gauntlet was a tad loose so I need to take out the increased darts. Lastly, the socks. I ripped it back because they feel an inch too big around the ankle. Crunch time ...gotta go
