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.

The 'To-Do' list...

and by 'to-do' list I mean 'to-knit' list. I'm really really trying to get on track with this list and stay deeply focused. It has helped that I have successfully removed all yarn from the living room and into Mr. Brown's Yarn shop on the second floor. Except for the fact that I went in there the other day with a shopping bag and loaded up. Currently in the sidelines to be finished 1. Ledge Trail Vest 2. Twiggy for me 3. 70 Yard Mitt for my other hand Finished those bad boys last night! this is what happens when you use the 10s burst hands free option on your iphone and you're holding said phone with your chinny chin chin. On the List: 1. Twiggy for a Christmas gift 2. Iris the Gourmet Monster but since it's for a boy I'm calling it Orvil. 3. Great White Shart Shark 4. Bosco - for me 5. Stillhouse Vest - for me 6. Woodsy - for me 7. Three Seahawk themed hats as gifts. 8. Gifts for friends... and on and on and on If you...

Finished Object

I'm not good at keeping surprises a secret...I get so excited that I usually blow it. Well not this time... I knit this sweater for Bump and had the buttons custom madefor it by Buttons by Robin, a wonderful shop on Etsy... She used a photo of Rupert that I emailed her...Rupert is their (Bump, C & M's) family dog... I couldn't post a photo until they had received the sweater which arrived on their doorstep last night... Oh how I wish I could have been there when they got it! It turned out amazing! Pattern: Baby Sophisticate Yarn: Big tweedy Cashmere (lucky boy) Please check out Robin's shop on Etsy I know you'll find buttons you love and she does amazing work!

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?
