Review: What a brilliant book this is!!!! I have tried and tried to master Fairisle knitting for a long time but to no avail. A kind lady who had reviewed this book recommended it to me. The instructions are so clear and informative that last night I had a go and mastered one of the fingerless gloves in the pattern section! Success! I am so thrilled with myself and am so thrilled to own this wonderful book. There is so much information and helpful pictures that I realised why I had never mastered the technigue before.Also the section of different Fairisle charts is really good. It saves having to buy an actual Fairisle garment pattern. For instance, a plain baby jumper or cardigan pattern would look lovely using one of the borders in the book. Excellent value for money - I will treasure this book!!

    Description: There are a few new [ Fair Isle or Shetland lace] knitting books. but this is the first one to come out this season and has set the bar high.' - Shiny New Books Mati Ventrillon's inspiration comes from the technique of creating patterns with multiple colours that was first used by the women of Fair Isle, one of the Shetland Islands, more than two centuries ago. Her designs, which have featured on the Chanel catwalk, are inspired by tradition but use her own modern interpretation of colour and pattern arrangement. The book includes fisherman jumpers with high, crew and slash necks, a poncho, neck warmer, cowl and long scarf, fingerless gloves and hand and wrist warmers, as well as the traditional fisherman's hats known as keps. The patterns demonstrate how to experiment with colour and play with backgrounds. They are accompanied by expert tips on yarns and finishing. Inspirational photography provides a window into life on this most remote of Scottish islands. Www. mativentrillon. Co. uk Instagram: @fairisle_knitwear.
