Fair Isle Pullover nearing completion

I've been in a big rut, just not feeling 100%.  I'm on the way back up now. 
Here are some photos of a Fair Isle Pullover sleeve, one in progress and one completed.




Although I don't have any photos to show it, the pullover is now nearly finished.  It's all sewn up, collar knitted, and I'm now in the process of weaving in ends.  There are tons of them!  I spent ages on it last night and there's still lots to go.
I used Shirley Paden's "Knitwear Design Workshop" to work out how to do a polo collar.  It's worked out beautifully!  I'm feeling like an awesome clever clogs!!  :)

I wanting to get this finished so I can get going on a scarf for this year's Scarf Festival which is being hosted by the National Wool Museum in Geelong.  I haven't done this before.  It should be fun!
Go on.  Take the plunge and design a scarf for this festival!  Entries close on the 6th of May.  This year's theme is the Rhythm of Life.

Scarves are great to start designing with.  No shaping issues!  You can just knit till you've had enough and then stop.  Entry forms are available from the linked page.
