The weebly wobbly line down the middle is the start of the rows, approximately. I decided since I was cutting these stitches as a steek the pattern repeats didn't have to end perfectly.
I'll straighten the steek, and backstitch both edges before cutting ✂️

Finished mismatched fingerless mitts from Shetland wool, as a way to learn colourwork. They're assembled in 2 different ways to try out steeks as a part of Fair Isle type knitting. Result: steeks are a 💩 way to create a thumb. Better solutions exist.
I've learned a lot and am now applying myself to a larger test piece, before attempting an actual sweater project. Requires a lot of v rusty arithmetic.

@martinatenzer Q: does the book include advice about using steeks?
I'm looking for v trad patterns with steeks and while I can find descriptions, the illustrations are harder to find. #knitting #FairIsle #steeks
Am also eyeing up a book by 1 of the authors of your book:
