A Year of Stitches Week 37

I'm working to catch up on the weeks. To this end, here are more Fair Isle patterns.  Typical of the region where the winters are very dark, color work utilizes bright colors like blue, red, yellow and green.  Contrast of colors makes the designs pop.  If you choose colors too close to each other, you lose a lot of the design and therefore the work and care you put into the item you are making.

What colors do you choose?  I tend to go for high contrast colors.  Do you also find color work to be addicting?  When doing two stranded color work, especially if the colors are balanced, I tend to use one hand for both colors.  Other methods hold one color in each hand or drop a color and pick up the other.  Try each to see what works best for you.

What do you have if you choose to only use the chart 1 time instead of over and over in a row?  Did you answer Intarsia?

Make a note about this chart, you only see the right hand side.  It's mirror image.  You can also take this apart and use only a part of the design.  What colors did you choose?
