It's only recently that I realised that not everyone knitted the same way as we do in Shetland! So, this video will not be news to Shetland knitters but it might be of interest to others who have asked me about this subject. I should also have mentioned in the video tha...

    Update 5 days after my original post here: I've run out of yarn A just before the end of round 9 of chart E. Fortunately, I'd ordered another ball for some other small projects, so the beanie can be finished without any delays. I'm wondering is this is actually a confession that I'm not very good at Fair Isle knitting as a more expert knitter would get the hat out of the one ball. Or, alternatively, does this mean that the length of wool in a ball is a bit variable?

    I'm just about to begin row 17 of chart C. My wool arrived on Wednesday (EDIT: today is Sunday, so 4 days later, for anyone reading this in the future) - it takes a long time to get to Australia, I ordered it as soon as the pattern came out. The pattern is easy to follow and this is the first time I've ever knitted a beanie. I love the design, it was exactly the sort I was hoping for.
