I've often gotten it from the library, and actually learned how to knit fair isle from this book years ago. The sweaters are gorgeous & most of them are easy enough for beginner fair isle knitters. My favorite is a sweater that actually uses slipped stitches and fair isle knitting. ( ) These vibrantly patterned sweaters come from Canada's acclaimed Philosopher's Wool Company, known best for their distinctive color palettes and two-handed Fair Isle method. Sixteen sophisticated sweater patterns feature stunning stars, stained glass, garden patches, and fractured diamonds, plus the popular "Color Your Own" pattern. Discover a remarkably simple Fair Isle technique that uses circular needles and four simple stitches Read about the history of The Philosopher's Wool Company, from building their traditional-style farmhouse to dyeing their own wool and designing their Fair Isle patterns Learn Philosopher's Wool's trademark technique for transforming pullovers into cardigans with a pair of scissors and a few simple snips I got this in memory of happy hours spent visiting Ann & Eugene's shop in Inverhuron a decade or so ago. Lovely people, and a beautiful book. When she developed the two-handed way of doing Fair Isle she was a prophet following in the footsteps of Elizabeth Zimmermann; now "everyone" does it (except me - I loop one colour around my neck and knit it Turkish style). This looks like a great book and I can't wait to get started. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
