Synopsis
Scotland's Fair Isle has long been known for its distinctive, stranded-color knitting. A designer from the region, Alice Starmore explores the history and techniques of the art and provides instructions for over 15 of her own knitwear designs. 100 color photos., This practical book looks at the Fair Isle technique. Rich in pattern and sumptuous in colour, it stresses sound technical information and creative innovation. The photographs, charts and drawings clarify the author's techniques, in an attempt to inspire the reader to start their own projects. There are 14 original patterns for sweaters, hats, gloves, mittens and vests for children and adults. Easy-to-read symbols are displayed with uniform grids. There is also a 17 page library of charted Fair Isle patterns.
