Hi I wonder if anyone can help? I would love to knit a fairisle cardigan - not too complicated though. I have never knitted anything fairisle before and would love the challenge. I wonder if anyone can tell me where to get a nice pattern from. I would need ;large ladies size'. Any ideas please? Thanks everyone - Bee.
