Fearless Knitting!!!

Knitting Daily has been urging fearless knitting, so I decided to take the Fair Isle Plunge. I wanted to share it with the Charlotte Purls because I was too excited that it was easier than I thought!

I made the 3 Tams Pattern from Knitty. It was hard a first to get used to knitting with two yarns, I was trying to knit one Continental and one yarn American. But it got easier after a while, the ribbing was the hardest. Once I got started I couldn't stop because I wanted to see how each row would build the pattern. I'm really happy with it as my first Colorwork project and now I have to bug to do some more! I definately will make the other 2 Tams.

Added a picture of my daughter modeling the hat after it is blocked. Isn't she cute? But I will have to take back my hat :)
