I'm trying to make a scarf that requires woven Fair Isle knitting, but I don't know how and I can't find anything on the internet. I can Fair Isle knit, but I don't know the woven way.... can anyone help with a picture or little instructions or something?

That is so clever!! Thanks for posting that up. It really makes Fair Isle a little less intimidating for me. (And the fact that I can knit with both hands anyways...) whee heart

Hmmm... I can still see a bit of red from under the black.... any way to stop this or make it less visible? Black is my background color and red is my pattern color.

Red is such a bold color, I think you're going to have a hard time completely hiding it on such a high contrast color like black.
