"buzy lizzy" sweater


My first fair isle - not fun. My first attempt was so tight that I finally had to cut off the bottom half of the sweater and re-knit it. Now I tend to overcompensate and knit it so loose that I spent more time adjusting the finished stitches then knitting it in the first place. The smocking, on the other hand, was fun and looks beautiful. I learned a lot on this project.
