Fair Isle Pullover With Vertical Stripes
designed by Jane Hill, in the book Sweaters From Camp

There was no natural light today, so this was the best I could do for the boring, flat shot. (There are enough photos of this thing that I didn't feel the need to make this particular photo super special. We all know what it looks like by now.):

sleeve decreases are pretty:



The yarn is Knitpicks Palette, using a colorway completely different than the original. I also knit it to a tighter gauge, as the pattern only has one size, which is too big for me. I added corrugated ribbing to the hem and cuffs (instead of using the purl when you can technique), and opted for plain 2x2 ribbing for the collar, instead of icord. I though I might have gone with corrugated ribbing there, but afraid it would look too busy in that spot. (Also, 2x2 ribbing pulls in more, and is stretchier.) Basically, I took the charts and basic shape from the pattern, and improvised the rest of the details.

... ta-da!
