What is fair isle knitting?

Ok guys, I finally got some pictures. This isn't everything because a lot of things are still in the process....

Here's something called a "Scoodie" (scarf+hoodie). Rodwen is modeling it

Image

Here's a little flower to pin in your hair. It's about the size of your palm.

Image

Here's Rodwen modeling a beanie that was made to look like it was knitted with a stitch called a "half-double post."

Image

And lastly, here's Rodwen wearing 2 pieces that go together. One is an infinity scarf that is made with a technique called "arm knitting," it's really cool! The other is a pair of fingerless gloves that are crochet

I love those pictures! Can you instruct me on how to make a "scootie?" I have a feeling I could turn it into a Fellowship cloak.

You can THere's plenty of tutorials online Especially on YouTube! It's really not that hard, just repetitive and time-consuming. Maybe in a CoE Bonus Blog, I'll make a video on how to crochet! I could show you all the basic stitches. Good idea??

Yes! Although I'm afraid I'd be a failure. I watch my sister crochet and fall into despair...

Maybe I'll just hire you to crochet lots of beautiful things for me, lotrelessar.

By the way Maixe, Fair Isle Knitting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Isle_(technique) I didn't read much of it...I Googled "fair isle knitting" and I saw that. I also got on Google Images to see more examples of it. Now that I saw it, I have seen this Fair Isle knitting before, I just didn't know that's what it was called.

Learning how to crochet is honestly not that hard. I'm a slow crochet-er to be honest I learned when I was about 10 from one of my best friends when I was little. It just takes a lot of practice. A lot of practice.

I have clicked on the link...and it is loading...it is loading...

Ooo! It is pretty! I am going to put a picture of it in here to show you all what it is.

It looks super complicated! I don't know if I could do it. Maybe if I had someone sit there and show me, but I doubt I could pick it up from YouTube alone.

Hello again! Here are some pictures of some dresses I made for my sister's dolls. They are crocheted.

And...maybe they are not tiny! Well, in that case, sorry for the double picture.

Wow! Great job, Maxie! I always loved it when people made their own clothes for Barbies.

Thank you, Mareth! I will make pants and a shirt someday when I feel ambitious.
