In the Author's Words....
'This book is my attempt to pay homage to the hard-working Shetland Knitter of the past and the present. ...My aim is to relate the history of Fair Isle knitting in Shetland in a new way, one that considers the relationship of aesthetics to women's lives, fashion, market forces and the natural environment.'(pg 7)
In this fascinating book, the author delves into the heart of traditional Fair Isle knitting. Through text and wonderful historical photos Fair Isle's history is told; chapters on technique & colour are thorough and visually enlightening; and there are patterns for 23 original designs to knit.
