Too soon for fair isle?

[EastFortySixth]

It doesn’t matter as I’m wearing it to work today anyway and I loves it (it’s on the bright side).
Just wondering if I’m making a huge fashion blunder 😁

I returned the Celtic & Co one I bought online last year, coveted it for a few months as was so disappointed with how thin it was so wouldn't buy one from there again. Do love my Croft House one however and looking forward to wearing it again soon.

I got a lovely pale blue one from woolovers a while ago - sadly I’ve put a bit of weight on and it’s currently too snug
might see what offers they have on between now and Xmas

Wow, that's beautiful work!!!!

Thanks to you lot I have 3 jumpers on the way 😅

Thanks, @ArabeI

Thanks also @dudsville
I’m addicted to Marie Wallin patterns - recently started with Alice Starmore kits.

I do, and it's amazing.

I thought sizing came up large. I'm a size 10 in most shops (e.g. Hobbs), and wear that jumper in a small.

I love a fair Isle knit. And it's definitely not just for Christmas!

@RealDeeBliss Oh no, there are FAR too many nice things on that Croft House website, I can feel my bank balance protesting in advance!

Brora are very considerate and group theirs all together www.broraonline.com/uk/collections/fair-isle

Love the merino wool ones

25% off toast fairisle today. Nice but still not a bargain!

I love them, I have never had one, but love the look.

Not sure what Fair Isle would be too soon for, it's not for Christmas unless it has sparkles or snowflakes, which doesn't make it Fair Isle.
I've got some on today and have had for at least a month, as it's not summer anymore.

Campbell's of Beauly have real wool fair isle knits. They're the kind that last forever, and not like my Joules fair isle which is already bobbling after 2 wears and going to fall apart, and not very much price difference!

Tbf the Campbell’s fair isle is twice the price of the other. But I wouldn’t have handed over £70 for acrylic and polyester! You wuz robbed!

Joules was £90 originally, I paid £110 for my Campbells of Beauly earlier this year (have gone onto website since and now it’s £135).
i was knowingly robbed, all for the love of a pattern but as usual regret it down the line when it’s a manky material

Ooooh - Just look at what & Daughter have on pre-order. Surely someone’s perfect outfit.

I never realised fair-isle was Christmassy! I am a knitter and and am rocking a colourwork jumper today. I have a lighter jacket (rather than a big coat) and am a perfect temperature in the office and on the go.

never too early!! I hate the fact that when I wear my fairisle jumpers (i have a few!) people comment that they're christmas jumpers! No they're not!!!!

Haha woolly vests are fecking hideous!

I just had a good old look….and I think you are right! I mean it is quite abstract holly but I think could be considered holly none-the-less 😂 green with little red dots. oh well….bring it on! I’ll just be THAT one that wears Christmas jumpers in early November 🎅🏻

I think I may need to re-read this Nov 10th FT article on Fair Isle knitwear a few more times to grasp it. Anyway, see for yourselves … (Gorgeous photos!)

Looking for a scoop/deep v neck winter jumper. Don’t mind a bit of fairisle but need to be careful with pattern size/placement (too heavy hourglass).

Anyone seen anything that would suit a bright winter?
