So you’ve knit a pair of socks or two and you’ve done some stranded colorwork. How about having a bit more fun and combine the two? We’ll learn to read charts, make a simple heel that makes Fair Isle work easy and uninterrupted, plus discuss other heel options. We’ll explore different ideas for choosing and combining colors.
