Mie oon nero! Ainakin nyt siltä tuntuu Mie vihdoin tajusin tuon Fair Isle-hommelin (onko sille mitään järkevää suomennosta?). Eikä se sitten ees ollutkaan hankalaa. Mallina on muuteltuna Son of Stitch 'n Bitchin Skull Isle. Muunteluista kerron enemmän kun hattu on valmis.Tiiättekö miten johonkin juttuun jää niin kiinni ettei tajua ajan kulua? Neuloin tuota pipon alkua eilen illalla. Yhtäkkiä olikin neljä tuntia myöhemmin, miulla oli kamala vessahätä, selkä oli jumissa ja sormia sattu. Mutta oli se sen arvosta.

I'm a genius! Atleast I feel like it now. I finally figured out the whole Fair Isle-thingy. And it wasn't even that hard. The pattern is Skull Isle from Son of Stitch 'n Bitch with some changes. I'll tell what changes when the hat is done.
You know how you get so into something that time seems to just fly? I was knitting that hat yesterday evening. Before I realized even it, it was 4hours later, I had to pee like crazy, my back hurt and my fingers were sore. But it was all worth it!

Oooh, I love it, that's the hat I want to make out of that book! My boyfriend wants me to make him the Biker Boy sweater in there, hmmmm...
That hat is gorgeous! It's such a nice pink for the skulls, too! If you can do that, you can do illusion. All it is is knit and purl stitches and a lot of counting and concentrating Absolutely no new knitting skills required! After a while, you get a feel for the pattern anyway so it's not as slow as when you first start.
