    Excellent tutorial! I'm primarily a crochet person but do love knitting for creating larger items. Fair Isle knitting was such a mystery to me but watching you up close and listening to your tips gave me so much inspiration to try this. This seems like a great method to make a sontag shawl that I'm obsessed with. Subscribed!

    Oh my gosh, you are a FANTASTIC teacher! I'm just a beginning knitter, but my friend is taking some Fair Isle classes and I would like to be able to knit with her. I've struggled to understand the multiple strand handling but you make it sooooo clear that even I can follow! Thank you, thank you, and thank you again!

    WOW. That was so well-explained, and your presentation and persona are so darn pleasant without forcing it. I never thought I'd like or get into Fair Isle until I accidentally watched this by way of KZread's autoplay. Darn it, now I have to purchase even more yarn and get less sleep learning how to knit, with already five projects in progress! (Thank you... darn it!)

    I'm a knitter who does not do color work - because no. Just no. BUT! I've always been so tempted... You make it look SO EASY! My thoughts exactly were, "Well, that doesn't look hard at all." But I know myself... I'd be unknitting for days. So for now, I'll admire form afar and attempt to work up the courage. Haha

    Very pretty! I wonder, is there a way of decreasing while maintaining the pattern, or you definitely have to switch to a single colour or change the pattern? Thank you.

    How do you knit the pattern into a fair isle thumb? I always mess it up, and when it calls for 2 color increases, I don't understand how to do that in a thumb. Have you got a video on thumbs with patterns knitted into them??

    Which color is dominant? Do you hold the dominant yarn always in one hand versus the other? For instance, if I hold one color in each hand? Can I hold either color in either hand that I choose?

    Su clase sobre Fair Isle es excelente. Solo tengo una duda: ¿por qué cuando tejo fair isle en agujas circulares el motivo o dibujo suele desvirtuarse o quedar movido hacia arriba en el inicio de la labor, donde colocamos el marcador de vueltas? Espero darme a entender. Gracias por su respuesta. #FromArgentina
