    THE inspirational reference work on Fair Isle knitting and design.

    Although probably not a good choice for someone just learning to cast on, this book gives a comprehensive history of Fair Isle knitting, as well as many charted designs. It is not just patterns, but enables the experienced knitter to include Fair Isle designs into her own patterns. Fair Isle is functional as well as beautiful, and this book will help the knitter to make it so.

    Thank goodness they brought this one back!

    This is a book that should be in every serious knitter's library. Yes, there are patterns in it, and that's great, but what is even better is the massive amount of information--history of fair isle knitting, charts galore, knitting techniques, and how to design your own pieces. No wonder the old copies were selling for such high prices. Absolutely amazing and worth every penny!
