Foolish Virgins

One of my favorite reads on the webring is any reference to the pattern and work in progress for the "Foolish Virgins" pattern. (Since it has been a long time, I cannot remember if this is an apt description.) Today on e-bay, for a scant $225.00, there is an auction for the Foolish Virgins in the original colors as designed by Kaffe Fassett for Rowan Mag #7 (my lucky number) and also in Kaffe's Classics. This is a way-future wish list item for me as I have only done one intarsia sweater and that was the year I learned to knit, 1988. (After '88, I did not pick up the needles again until January 2000 because I wanted a poncho and did not want to pay retail for it). I am hoping my Hello Kitty motif on Pagan will go well as a learning process for this technique.

Not a Virgin and Foolish
