Fair Isle Knitting
—Sara Don

Nearly three decades ago, this book arrived from the UK; it was the very first book ever published on the subject of Fair Isle knitting and here is part of Elizabeth's review in our WG#24, March '81: "I remember these splendid jerseys from my youth in the '20s, when great boxes of them would come from Shetland 'on approval'. We selected those we couldn't resist, wrote a cheque, and returned it with the resistable ones. Last fall Sarah Don's magnificent book appeared, Fair Isle Knitting. We have sold so many crates of them that it is hard to imagine that you lace a copy and have no access to these wonderful and genuine designs. (Are any of you getting 9 sts to 1"? I'm not!) ... History & legend, ten complete sweaters, 2 caps-and-mittens, well over 100 pattern-graphs, color-plates. Find Fair isle on the map. It lies alone between the Orkneys and the Shetlands off the NE coast of Scotland. Its sheep are small, agile and soft." Now, after years of languishing out-of-print, dear Dover has reprinted the original book. $12.95
