great historical book and supplement to other FI books January 26, 2004

This is a great older reprint for Fair Isle knitters. There seems to be more historical detail than some of the other fair isle books (Starmore and Feitelson).
Also included are hundreds of fair isle stitch patterns for designing your own sweater. The only drawback to the stitches is the lack of color (the patterns are black and white only). So the color aspect of fair isle knitting is not as fully explored here. Overall, a great deal of information for the price!
Great for Fair Isle Work! January 15, 2007

Sheila McGregor is a knitting goddess! I would NOT recommend this for a beginning knitter.. there are no direct patterns for sweaters, but the charts are numerous and authentic! just make sure you count the number of stitches in each repeat! this is a must have for any color knitter bored with the usual patterns out there!

If you love Fair Isle you NEED this book. My non knitting friends love this one! They think I'm so clever because I can knit some of these (some are way too complicated, but I'm working on them!). I try to be modest about it but some are just so easy to follow it is crazy that they turn out as well as they do! Fun book just to look at the pictures even if you never knit a thing from it!!
