I cast on for the Fair Isle coaster project last night. I'm working with an off-white (almost cream) color and a turquoise color. Both are cascade 220 and the pattern calls for a size 4 24 inch circular needle. I'm going to use the turquoise as the background color and the white as the pattern color. I cast on 108 stitches, joined in the round and then knit two rounds with the background color. I knit those rounds in Continental and let me just say that it was not easy. I hope that with time it will become easier because I was finding it fairly frustrating and sloooooooooooooooow. Other than that, I haven't done a whole lot of knitting this weekend. I have work on the sweetheart socks and am almost done with one chart repeat for the leg. What I should have worked more on was my shawl, but there is always today for that!
