Tri-Color Fair Isle: Woodsy Edition (knit)

Fair isle knitting has always looked so awesome and yet so intimidating. I decided to give it a try with THREE colors and try and I. LOVE. IT. Reading color charts is super fun - and as the rounds add up, the pattern appears! Using a Post-It note to cover up the rows to come helps me from getting confused. Or using a Post-It Tape Flag to point to the row that I'm on also helps (or do both!).
