UFO is all done!


Finally my Fair Isle socks are done. This is a kit from Red Bird Knits from the days when I belonged to the sock knitting club. I LOVE these!

No, these are not many skeins of yarn. Robin of Red Bird Knits has a very clever way of knitting fair isle socks. The colors are the self striping sock yarn and I just cut out the little pieces of yarn which had short color and white - by the inch. Therefore, I used a skein of white sock yarn and only the solid color part of the second skein.

Snow is forecasted for tomorrow so I will wear them for snowshoeing!

You should show these to Diane Gerlach in our group. She will be impressed!
