Here is a photo of the bag.
Here is the start of my "noughts n crosses"...
My first try at fair isle, so I did only 1 1/2 repeat.
It's fun !!
I like this technique.
Thanks for the pattern !!
It's a very good way to use the little ball of yarn
remaining after knitting socks.
My choice of yarn:
Preface from Phildar (dark blue) and KnitPicks Dancing.

what fibers are you using? I was shopping today for something suiable. I considered a really neat maizy yarn in two colorways but wasn't 100% certain it would work well for fair isle, let alone a first project FI. Then I noticed a new selection of Louet Gems wool dyed by Cherry Tree Hill...yummy!!! They are wound, waiting to fly with me to CAlifornia this weekend for a family event.
BTW, my name is Anna. I am a displaced Scot currently living in the Dayton, Ohio area (sigh). This is my first opportunity to knit along with this group.
Looking forward to everyone's fiber choices...

I edited my message to answers your question anna....
I love your variation on the pattern! That looks great!
Great color choices for your socks! I am still cowering from the fair isle....
what a great idea to use a variegated for the x's and o's!!! looks wonderful!
I can honestly say I wasn't interested in knitting this pattern until I saw the photo of your sock. Your choice of colors is beautiful. I can't wait to see them completed.
beautiful. I love it. I still have quite a bit of dancing left and I just ordered a dark blue, maybe I will try that. I love your socks.
Great choice of yarns. You've made a really good job! :)
The sock is great, but I want to know about the crazy quilt under the sock. Did you make it, is it a family heirloom, how long have you had it? It is gorgeous. I have 2 silk crazy quilts, one my great grandma made and the other hubby's great gramma made. I love this type of quilt.
