Fair Isle Knitting: An Introduction

Course Overview

Discover the British Isles' most colorful knitting tradition. If you are a fan of BBC's Masterpiece Theater or Mystery productions set in the 1920s or 1930s, and have found yourself being distracted by the colorful and intricately patterned sweaters, you are most likely admiring a Fair Isle sweater. In this two-day class we will spend the first day exploring this tradition by working on swatches, joining color and pattern in creating your own design. During the second day we will take your swatches and work on a small project: wrist warmers as an introduction to combining the Fair Isle elements of color and design that are the essentials of the Fair Isle sweater. If you find the colorful and complex appearance of a Fair Isle sweater enticing, join us for this two-day class.
