The Wild Isle Cardigan

 

 

I knitted this sweater using yarns from my stash.  They originally came from the yarn ends at the Bemidji Woolen Mill.  There are 10 colors of yarn used with charts from: "Traditional Fair Isle Knitting" by Sheila McGregor.

 

 

 

 

 

I called my original design "The Wild Isle", because the self striping yarn used for the body background and the sleeves, bottom, cuffs, and collar, give the sweater a slightly wacky look that contrasts with the traditional Fair Isle body design.
