OOPS! I've fallen off the (band)wagon already!

I wasn't happy with another swap parcel i was making up. It's complicated but basically i was going to make a hat then the strikes happened and some deliveries were delayed and i decided not to make the hat, then i dithered a bit and waited for something else to arrive and then i just plain old got caught up in "other stuff" and put the parcel to one side and now that's late too *extremely embarrassed and annoyed*
So, last night i decided to make the hat! For some reason i have had a hankering to try Fair Isle so i found a lovely easy pattern in Simply Knitting and cast it on at about 8pm, and then at approximately 11pm i cast it off :oD
It was SO easy! OK, it was only one round of Fair Isle every 3 rounds and it was only two colours and it was only K1A, K1B, repeat around, but i really got the hang of it! It would have been even better had i actually used two yarns of the same weight but i got confused :o(
It looks OK though, and hopefully it will fit the munchkin it's made for *crosses fingers, toes and anything else that's available for crossing*
So, there's no stopping me now, December will be cast on a proper Fair Isle pattern month, i quite like the idea of some mittens or handwarmers maybe... Ooooh, i saw a pattern somewhere that's gloves or handwarmers, i shall have to hunt for it again cos it was lovely :o)

NO-vember will resume tonight with either Hexagon Blankie getting a go or some more Clapotis. Is hould do blankie really as it's a gift and Clapotis is only for me :o)
