fair isle is s-l-o-w! i can't hold the yarn over my pointer finger *and* my thumb! so i pick up the yarn every other stitch. two-color cast-on, 1 k row, and 1 p row on 128 sts took me a little over an hour. [phew] but it looks kinda cool.

Doing Fair Isle was my excuse to finally learn to knit Continental. Even being really slow with my left hand, it's way faster to have a color in each hand.
