        Hi Alix. I'm interested to see how the 'fairisle' knits up in this yarn. Have you used this yarn?

        @Susan@Hollygrove: Not that yarn in particular, but there's something very fun about knitting with pre patterned yarn :)

        @Alix: Not as 'fairisle' as I'd expected, but still fun. I found the turkish cast on fiddly but worth it for the finished result.
