No I didn't do a video on fair isle and probably won't for a while. Sorry! But I will tell you that if you are going to try fair isle socks two at a time you are asking for quite a tangle! Managing two colors for each of two socks, turning everything in the right directions and keeping track. Your going to feel like you are in a spider web. There is a video or two for fair isle Portuguese knitting on youtube, and Andrea Wong's first sock video covers fair isle Portuguese knitting also. To do it one sock at a time with two color and using hooks it's pretty much the same. I wish you good fortunes with your projects. Hi and thanks for the comment.

Did you ever get that video done you talked about making for the portuguese fair isle knitting with 2 hooks ? I'd love to watch it. I'm just now new to practicing portuguese knitting and I love to do two socks at a time on my circular needles so I'm trying to figure this all out. Thanks! Hi ya!
