Knitting FUN! (note capitals showing use of sarcasm)

Well, I've actually reached the yoke I posted on Sunday. The wave pattern, which I was originally planing to do with a contrasting color. I turned the purls to knits because otherwise it looked stupid. And then I realized I was doing Fair Isle.

I hate Fair Isle.

OK, to be fair, I very very rarely knit Fair Isle, and I occasionally kinda enjoy it, but really, I kinda hate it. I always end up tangling the yarns, and I never know how far to carry them over and I just... think it's a poopy head.

But it looks pretty. And therein lies the problem.

Note for the Uninitiated Fair Isle = multi color pattern knitting (not stripes)
