Fair Isle

This is my first attempt at Fair Isle and I love it. I made a few mistakes with the sizing I wanted to make the smallest size but ended up with the larger one pure human error. Also the button holes are a little too small in fact I can't even find them! Oh well it is fine without buttons.
Finished just in time for the New Year roll on 2010.

Hair - cruel or cool.

We had a little issue with hair in our house and so there has been a transformation. As you can see we went from the long haired surfer look to the crew cut. The fact is the boys love their new cut and in school the other kids want to follow the Siegel trend. Sure if we had only shaved one head it would be cruel but all five kids makes it cool.

Christmas Vest

I finished a little knitting as I have been very sick for two weeks and haven't been able to leave the house. Let me state I do not go in for deadline knitting and so if knitting happens to get finished in or around christmas it gets labeled christmas knitting. This vest was made in a week and so will be given said label. Due to being stuck inside I now have a dozen other things on the needles and hope to have lots done by the time New Year rolls around. Sometimes there is a silver linning to feeling rotten!
