Fair-isle Friday! Epistropheid I and II

I know I posted a finished object post about my first Epistropheid on Saturday BUT it wasn't really complete.

Know why?
Because it was missing the most amazing PomPom ever.


We all know my love of PomPoms. If you need a review you can venture back to 2015 when I made 75 assorted PomPoms for a little girls birthday present. Operation PomPom was amazing.


Or the year I couldn't remember where I put my Christmas Decorations so I went to Michaels and bought a PomPom maker and decorated my tree that way.

This PomPom is not made of yarn.
*It's fur PomPom.

Its fluffy and lovely and perfection on the top of my first Epistropheid.
I started a second Epistropheid.

I ordered a matching PomPom for that as well.

This pattern is fun.



It comes out beautifully.
I highly recommend it especially if you are just getting into fairisle knitting and the idea of handling multiple colors in a project is overwhelming. Epistropheid calls for two colors.

Not overwhelming at all.

My list of fair-isle projects for the year keeps growing and growing. So Fair-isle Friday will probably be a thing for a while.

Which might become overwhelming.

Happy Friday Ya'll

Side note: As I continue on my journey of healing, self-care, growth and life I will be making some what I hope to be amazing changes to the blog. The focus might shift a wee bit. Not away from the knitting but focusing more on why I knit, maybe a little less of a rambling. I'm going twofold with the blog; to share why I love to knit and as a therapy tool for myself. I hope you will continue this journey with me and I hope you enjoy it.

*Yes it's a real fur PomPom. I have received a few not so nice comments about it being a real fur PomPom on a very public forum. I respect everyones right to their own opinion on things but please don't use your opinion for harm.


Side-Side Note: With the chaos, pain, healing, pain, growth and adventure of the past two years. Two things are my steady rock in a crazy river. My husband and Phoebe. The calm in my storm. The joy in my heart. Phoebe is doing great by the way. She has come so far from the damaged soul we brought home. We just love her to bits.

Oh Balls!

I'm halfway thru the second to last short row repeat... Just in time to get used to trailing three balls around with me and my Color Affection. Needless to say I'm pretty excited to be finished with this and wear it! Happy Sunday!

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...
