I'm excited now. Nearly all the fleece is carded and the main pattern decided. The yarn is three ply worsted spun and about a double knitting weight. It feels good knitted on 4.5mm needles. The really good thing is that Ed positively likes what I'm doing and is taking an interest in what I'm doing. I think he will probably wear it.
The Fair Isle pattern is late 19th early 20th century and I shall knit it into a fairly straight forward gansey knit in the round with STEEKS! I still have't dared to cut the steeks in the last Fair Isle thing I knit.
