The hand warmers are knit from one ball of Zauberball fingering weight, in their rainbow colorway. The cool colors were separated from the warm colors, and two balls were created. I used those two newly created balls to knit the fair-isle design.
The stitch motif is inspired by designs in Alice Starmore's Fair-Isle Knitting book.
The pattern is also inspired by WaterFire, an award winning sculpture created 15 years ago by a local RISD student. It's free to the public and runs every year from June - October with special "partial-fires" through out the year.These would be just as pretty in two solid colors, as well as any other high contrast color of Zauberball (they were test knit in the purple/orange colorway). Cast on and stay warm!
