Fair Isle Snowflake Ornament Reviewed by Lisa Taylor on 2008-12-31 *****
i have done fair isle before but ive never done a snowflake. it was very easy you just have to cross off your rows on paper so you dont duplicate rows. i made a hat instead of a christmas ornament and just used the design. it came out looking great! so many compliments.. dont be afraid to try it you will be happy you did
