My skills are not fine enough, yet. Yet. I will get there and someday I, too will Wear My Knitting and be enclosed in something colorful and warm that I created. All of the colorful socks I have made, I have given away. I kept the white ones for me. Maybe it is time to change that tune a little.Donna Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877384848664758611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17492826.post-1759017654809074802007-08-24T14:02:00.000+03:002007-08-24T14:02:00.000+03:00I didn't get a chance to comment on the last post,...I didn't get a chance to comment on the last post, so I'll take the oportunity here to tell you how beautiful Henry is, and how it inspired me to click over to Virtual Yarns and order a kit for Starmore's Oregon Vest (Spring colours). Like you, I do not ordinarily wear intricate clothing. I usually go for plainer, blend-in-to-the-background fare. But these incredible works of art need to be displayed, and I'm determined to not only wear my vest (once it's done, which might be a while) but endeavor to knit more fair-isle and display it proudly. One good thing about having lots of plain clothes, is that they will provide the perfect backdrop for such rich adornment. Bravo on your lovely, inspiring sweater. I cannot wait to show you mine!nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18278895757317443494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17492826.post-29040817800778637512007-08-24T03:29:00.000+03:002007-08-24T03:29:00.000+03:00Wear it on a day when you want to look and feel li...Wear it on a day when you want to look and feel like a goddess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17492826.post-45591669155254981222007-08-24T02:06:00.000+03:002007-08-24T02:06:00.000+03:00The sweater is beautiful.

The first pair of socks I ever knit were of colorful self-patterning yarn, and to this day I consider them my *power* socks. I wear them whenever I need that little extra oomph. Knowing that you have created -- or even copied -- such a masterpiece is bound to increase your confidence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17492826.post-51699637164795525892007-08-23T18:45:00.000+03:002007-08-23T18:45:00.000+03:00Enid is a delightfully low-key follow-up to Henry-...Enid is a delightfully low-key follow-up to Henry--just a touch of interest around the yoke, and the rest of it remains sleek and simple.

Now that you've sorted Fair Isle (and Starmore too, a double celebration!), it's time to think what ELSE you could conquer!<BR/><BR/>And I too need to revisit Wear Thy Knitting.
