I'm in the middle of trying to put an outfit together for my Butterfly Narae, and I love the look of the really colourful 'Boho' Fair Isle leg warmers that I see on Facebook. So I decided to make some. I chose needle punch yarn in all the colours in my girl's floral print top.... It's a nice little project now that I'm sick, and I'm almost finished the knitting. However, I'm not at all looking forward to sewing in all the yarn ends

Very nice... and a tribute to your patience :o) Can't wait to see the "artsy" outfit you're making for your Butterfly Narae.

Thanks! They have been quite a challenge. Several times last night I had to undo whole rows of stitches because I messed up the pattern. Being sick seems to throw me off. This evening I get to sew in all those ends. That has to be the worst part of these Fair Isle patterns.
