Right sleeve done! This is the progress to date on my traditional Fair Isle-patterned gansey.

I’m posting this to keep myself motivated – and honest. I’m quite pleased overall with the result but frustrated with how long it’s taking.

I can’t believe that I still have another sleeve to do!

Hopefully I’ll be able to show the completed garment soon.

Happy Knitting!

I’ve been bitten by the Fair Isle bug and am designing a man’s traditional Fair Isle patterned gansey. As you can see this is a work in progress!

This design is for The Knitting Guild Association Master Hand Knitter Program.

I still need to pick-up stitches for the sleeves , cut the steeks at the armholes, finish the gussets, knit the sleeves, and add the neckline trim. I’m taking a vacation first though!

As I work through this garment I’m preparing a pattern with charts that I’ll make available when it’s completed and reviewed. This is a man’s size large and knit with Jamiesons of Shetland Spindrift wool.

Happy Knitting!
