With this thorough guidebook from Sheila G. Joynes, you can easily learn Fair Isle knitting and gradually expand your skill level while making a colorful cowl and hats for the family. Everything you need to know about Fair Isle knitting is here. As a special feature, you can personalize the color keys, making it easy to use the yarn colors of your choice. To inspire you, we've shown two color versions each for five of the six fun projects: Garden Cowl, Columbia River Ear Flap Hat, Autumn Beanie, Little Sophia's Hat, and Ginger's Slouch Hat. The final and most advanced project is Cranberry Rose Hat. Just think how thrilling it will be to say, 'I can't believe I'm Fair Isle Knitting!'
About the Author
Sheila G. Joynes says, "Friends and family describe my relationship to Fair Isle knitting as 'She paints with yarn.' " Sheila's knitting journey began when she was a teenager, but she was fascinated by color long before then. She says, "As a small child, I would spend hours studying a book of my grandmother's called World Famous Paintings. Years later, I graduated from the University of Washington with an Art Education degree. It provided me with an opportunity to focus on my love of color and fiber. Watercolor, fiber art, and photography were my favorite classes. I incorporated art in most of my lesson plans as a teacher and a volunteer."

This book is a superb tutorial for doing fair isle (stranded) color work for the first time. The instructions are comprehensive and clear, covering the principle as well as the execution, making them easily adaptable to one's own knitting style. The patterns are attractive and well written, with explanation and tips where needed. I was daunted by fair isle until I bought this book; I'm pleased to say that my first project came out looking like the work of a much more experienced fair isle knitter, and I've been confident to go on to a number of other fair isle projects.I recommend this book highly to anyone who wants to learn fair isle knitting.
