  1. Fair Isle Friday is a bit early bc I'm busy tomorrow.
    Moved to 2 circs to let my knitting sprawl a bit: I was concerned my colourwork tension was too tight as I worked a lot of stitches on 1 needle.
    Viewed from the back the tension is improving.

  2. More frogging and knitting again.
    Found 1 new mistake in the re-knitted rows: have decided to carry on. I'm sure it's character building or something.

  3. _Sigh._
    After careful measuring I've worked out that my Fair Isle piece...is probably too small for the recipient.
    So: with much sighing and harrumphing, I've put it on a scrap yarn holder...and started again with a larger CO number.
    In theory I can come back to it, ideally for myself, after I finish the bigger jersey.
    _Much_ sighing. There's no way to knit 300+ sts per row quickly.
