Fair Isle for Summer

I love traditional knitting color work but, here in North Carolina, there's not much reason for sweaters or hats, much less doubly thick ones...  But color and I are learning to play nice with each other, finally!  (As a former jeans-and-t-shirt girl, matching colors is admitted not my forte...)  I've been trying to add those patterns to my repertoire and give my fingers something to fiddle with.



Yay for cross-stitching!  This is a small piece (7" x 5" ?) but oh-so-satisfying.  Some of the patterns are my own; others were found via some intense googling.  I'm thinking the final piece might look good in a frame, or as separate pieces of a set of buttons...  Still considering my options though. ^.^

I love my camera's macro function to death...  I want to get some macro photos blown up to poster size for my room. ^.^



So what smaller projects are you picking up for the summer?  (Or if you're on the other end of the world, got something big for winter?)
