Finished stranded colorwork mittens and pictures
Ok, so I finally finished my stranded colorwork mittens!!! After all the business trips (where I couldnt knit because I was so f-in busy) and the broken needles and a month and a half they have finally been completed! Even though winter is over and I wont get to wear them until the next cold season, Im still very proud of my first stranded colorwork project. Here are some pictures below, let me know what you all think!

I dont know much about colorwork categories, but I think fair isle just means you are using more colors. With stranded you only work with two different colors at the same time and with Fair Isle you could be working with 3 or 4 different colors at the same time.

Depending on how much of a purist you are: Fair Isle is a specific type of stranded colourwork; characterized by the style of motif; the use of two colours per row and a particular style of colour changes over the work.
the purists are fighting a mostly losing battle where "Fair Isle" is coming to mean "stranded colourwork that isn't doubleknit" or even "colourwork that isn't intarsia"
Interesting, how semantics
Interesting, how semantics always seem to follow me around. I get annoyed with semantics. Having a teenager in the house, means it's all about the semantics. Can hardly wait till he outgrows that.
