Fair Isle knitting

In love with Fair Isle knitting. I cannot get enough. My crush has gone beyond knitting in heart shapes and am now wanting to try the real intricate patterns. My first try of a somewhat easy star pattern above, just one lonely brown and cream mitten so far. All other pictures from various Japanese craft and fashion magazines... My plan is Christmas stockings with knitted in patterns... Running out of time quickly I know, but maybe with big yarn and needles? Stars and reindeers and snowflakes knitted in around the top? I will attempt...
