wip: fair-isle

wip: fairisle


To get back into dolly knitting I started a fairisle yesterday. It is sized for a Marnie doll, (whatever size that is!). It's been very relaxing to do, I enjoy fairisle knitting very much.
This is the body (all in one back and fronts) and Brenda is helping to hold it down while I take the photo!
