A wonderfully easy project for a beginner in color work. I had no idea it was so straight forward. Many thanks.

Excellent tutorial. Full of technical detail and at the same time offering useful tips for fixing and accepting inevitable mistakes. I’ve been afraid of trying Fair Aisle before but now on way to dig out a few skeins of worsted and give it a try. Thank you !

I enjoy seeing the hat on a person before I start a project. It gives me confidence that it will fit.
