Enid
Enid is one of the 16 stunning designs featured in Stranded Knits, an exceptional technique manual and pattern collection meticulously crafted by Ann for Rowan Yarns. This captivating pattern not only showcases beautiful colorwork but also serves as a perfect introduction to mastering the art of fair isle knitting.
With its intricate color changes, the Enid pattern is an ideal choice for knitters looking to enhance their skills in fair isle techniques. Accompanying the pattern are clearly illustrated tutorials that guide you through the two-handed fair isle knitting method, which significantly improves your efficiency and control while working with multiple colors. Additionally, the pattern includes instructions for spit-splicing in colorwork, a time-saving, non-bulky technique that allows you to seamlessly join new colors right at the point where you need them, effectively eliminating yarn ends and creating a polished finish.
Be sure to consider that the tension/gauge provided is measured after blocking. Keep in mind that Felted Tweed DK is comparable to a US sportweight or heavy fingering yarn, ensuring that your delightful creation drapes beautifully and feels luxurious against the skin. Dive into this exquisite pattern and embrace the joy of knitting with Enid, a project that promises both creative fulfillment and a chance to refine your fair isle technique.
