Reviews for Fair Isle Sweaters Simplified
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
5/5
5 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very attractive Fair Isle patterns, illustrated in multiple colorways. The best part of this book is the explanation of a two-handed knitting technique that makes color work go faster, and results in a neater finish on the wrong side of the work.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I keep recommending this book to knitters and non-knitters alike. The introduction is a great treatise on living the simple life, and learning to generate an income from your land.
