If You Are Going To Order One Book, Save Postage and Buy Two!

Since I had to "accidentally" purchase Alice Starmore's book, I decided to order a second one. This one is Mary Jane Mucklestone's book, 200 Fair Isle Motifs. The book is chock full of color plates sorted by the number of row and then by the number of stitches. I think that it would make it pretty easy to select an entire sweater worth of pattern.  In addition ,to the motif catalogue, the book contains a section on Essential Skills of Fair Isle Knitting. With information on yarn selection, proper equipment, swatching, color selection and steeking, this is a great resource for someone who wants to begin Fair Isle Knitting.

Happy knitting!
