My first fair isle

My Electra has got some Southwest flair going on, with the colors of yellow corn tortilla chips (the gold), blue corn tortilla chips (the purple), salsa (the red) and sour cream (the offwhite). Hm. I definitely wasn't going for a nacho color scheme. It also reminds me of the 70s. Is that a good thing...we shall see.

I did most of the back on the plane to and from Atlanta. Those were probably the fastest plane rides ever. The fair isle on this is pretty non-extensive, which is good for a novice like me. But it's also been just enough to break up the monotony of working with single-colored yarn. I was starting to get bored of the usual. Kooch is languishing and so is Aimee. Bring on more fair isle!

Warning: badly written pseudo web technical details coming up...

Some of you were asking where I found the link to that Turkish blog. It works like this: Everytime someone clicks on a link to your site from another site, information, such as browser type, where the request for your page is originating, is sent to your server. All behind the scenes. So if you clicked on the link to the blog here, that server will know the hit came from catduckdotcom/clog. This is called the referral link, and my site keeps track of all this information. I'm watching you...

Those colors look great together, and they show up better against each other compared to the original.

You know, I have to admit I was skeptical at first when I read about your color choices for Electra, the gold and dark red sounded intense. But knitted up, it's beautiful, very warm and rich looking.

Electra looks like she is being made by a fair isle pro! You must be proud.

Your vest is looking great. The back part is so neat and tidy.
