Having said that, this book appeared for me under the Christmas tree last year:
Aaaamazing!
After soaking up every page of 80s goodness I settled on an interesting pattern that uses up oddments (I have sacks of oddments) for a friend's birthday present.
If you want to know how it feels to have Joseph's Coat of Many Colours going round in your head for 3 months, the answer is- not great.
The whole time I was making it I couldn't decide if it was just too insane looking, but I think the colours make it work.
I hadn't done anything like fair isle style knitting before, and I think I did pretty well with the zigzags, I twisted the yarns in so there's no tugging.
Anyway, I enjoyed looking at it so I thought you might too.
