Sometimes I think I learn more from my mistakes than from my successes. Here is a Fair Isle sock I began with a picot hem. Fair Isle gives me fits because of the difficulty of color selection. As it turns out I really liked the colors for this project.




What I absolutely can't stand is the actual pattern. I realized that I much prefer colorwork where the pattern is easily made out rather than muddied as it can be in some Fair Isle designs. That must be why I have knit many more Scandinavian designs.
