Knit It! (Fair Isle Impromptu)

Dear friends,

Well, here it is: have been working on this last afternoon and morning. I wanted to mix three colours (although in separate designs, not all together) - and I designed it all myself: the Greek decoration, the hearts and little diamonds, plus the strange "thingy" in the middle. I also had a hard time trying to design the letters: it all had to be symmetrical, and I only had 34 stitches to work on. First thing was preparing the garter stitch frame. The work nonetheless rolled. What I did is placing it under heavy books all night long. This sort of worked! It almost does not roll now. Maybe I did some sort of basic blocking? ROTFL. It is all acrylic, and I have read I should not use steam on it otherwise it'll "break" or ruin.

I thought about doing hearts and diamonds in orange yarn (yes, again orange!) *** To fill in the symmetry, I added a little zig-zag: looks nice! Then, in purple, the Greek frame. I am so happy it looks so well. When I drew it on paper for the pattern, I was afraid it wouldn't look right. It does! Then, the words. Wanted to write something about knitting. I thought "knit it!" would do it. It looks so funny! Also the "i" with the dots... aren't they lovely? Would love to hear your comments :)

Also, do I have to call it "dishcloth" even when it's not intended for dishes?!

Love,
Flavio
