This is a knitting technique I would love to get really good at, so I've started practicing with a much simpler two color pattern. It's more time consuming, but it definitely gives your knit a special quality that solids and stripes don't have.
This scarf I'm working on is on a size 8/16 inch circular needle done in stockinette stitch. One thing that makes fair isle knitting so much more complicated is that you are working with multiple colors of yarn simultaneously, constantly changing colors every few stitches.
It's challenging, but that's part of the fun!

what a cute design, however, you are slowly getting to grandmother status.

Your knitting skills are amazing! I'm having difficulty with knitting single colored rows in the round. How do you deal with the jogs?
