Art of Fair Isle Knitting

The Art of Fair Isle Knitting
by Ann Feitelson

A great all around Fair Isle book. It includes a great history section with color pictures of very adorable ladies and gents from Shetland; traditional examples of sweaters, tams and vests; contemporary patterns you can follow mindlessly and a section on color choice that is one of the best out there. Picking colors for a Fair Isle is daunting and a wonderful rainy day activity. Even if you never cast on, getting out the colored pencils, graph paper and yarn scraps is so fun! (Maybe I'm just crazy?)
$36.95, includes shipping (hardcover)

The Art of Knitting 1892
by Piper Publishing

A reproduction of Butterick knitting patterns from, you guessed it, 1892. A knitting archeaologist's dream! Very reminiscent of the Weldon's patterns, but published in the US which means they are going to use some different language. Fascinating to read!
$28, includes shipping.
