they're beautiful! one day when i get better, i hope to try argyle or fair isle too...currently i'm working on the opulent raglan in the fall knitscene, and there's a pattern in there that you might like...it's called the nederland vest and it's a simple intro to fair isle

Impressive! Amping up the learning scale by not only cranking out another sock but also doing it in Fair Isle. Beeyootiful. Scarf is lovely as well.

Yay for fair isle! It's easier than it looks once you get a method going, I found.

Gorgeous scarf and congrats on the awards!

I agree with Jillian: once you find the most comfortable way of holding 2 yarns, then it's easy peasy! Looks like you found a good rhythm
Lovely scarf!

Nicely done with the fair isle! That whole how to hold two different yarns can be tricky.

I *love* your Christmas stocking! That was a great choice of pattern. I'm kinda tempted by gloves or maybe a vest.

I didn't know you knit continental style. Interesting. That's on my list of things to try!

Thanks for the link for the Christmas stocking! I have been looking for a fun fair isle pattern! Once you get a groove, fair isle is quite addicting, huh? I love the colors you chose.

Fair isle is addictive, isn't it? I can't wait to start my fairisle sweater. Thanks for the pattern link...I think I have to make another stocking for the second baby in a family..it will keep me from having to design my own! Clapping for Fair Isle Knits!

I love the stocking--great job! Isn't it fun watching the pattern emerge as you knit?

Love your stocking! I took a fair isle class a couple of years ago and enjoyed it, but I haven't made anything yet. Someday. Your scarf is beautiful too!

The fair isle looks great! I need to try colorwork on something like that that doesn't have sizes, because every time I've tried my gauge has been all over the place!

The stocking looks great. It's awsome that you keep learning new techniques...inspirational!
