About this product

Product Information

A noted designer from the region of Scotland's Fair Isle explores the history and techniques of this distinctive, stranded-colour knitting style and provides copious illustrated instructions for 14 original knitwear designs. Scotland's Fair Isle is celebrated the world over for its distinctive, stranded-colour knitting, and Alice Starmore is famous for her expertise in designing and instructing knitters in this appealing regional tradition. Starmore's richly illustrated guide offers both beginning and advanced knitters a complete workshop in the Fair Isle style. It not only explores the art's history, patterns, and traditional techniques but also encourages knitters to develop their own creativity.Starmore explains the traditional Fair Isle techniques of circular knitting and presents detailed tutorials on incorporating classic motifs, exploring colour schemes, and creating unique patterns and designs. She shares fourteen of her own original designs, including patterns for cardigans, vests, fishermen's sweaters, hats, gloves, and mittens. More than 250 photographs, drawings, and easy-to-follow charts illustrate sources of inspiration, simple instructions, and spectacular results. Knitting devotees agree: If you have only one book of Fair Isle patterns, this is the one to have! AUTHOR: An acclaimed textile designer, author, artist, and photographer, Alice Starmore is a native of Scotland's Isle of Lewis. Starmore has taught and lectured extensively throughout Britain, Europe, and the United States. She has written 16 books and countless magazine articles, and her classic Book of Fair Isle Knitting is the work that introduced the popular traditional technique.

This book arrived with another one on which I've already commented, so I give the same comment here. Excellent ebayer. The product arrived on time and was in the condition described. It was also a hardback book, whereas I thought I had ordered a paperback. It was excellent value for money as a paperback and so it is many time more than that as a hardback. Thank you Baham Books, excellent service all round.

  • Alice Starmore's Book of Fair Isle Knitting

    I think Alice Starmore's designs are amazing. So much beautiful colour and style. I find her instructions good and her charts are really simple to read. I enjoy reading the background to Fair Isle, the history and the tradition about which Alice is so knowledgable. Most of all I love her creations and the opportunity to recreate them and make designs for myself.

  • Old fashionec

    I liked reading the book which had a chapter about fairisle and the fairisle tradition. It did explain how to knit fairisle but not in a way that would suit somebody new to it. The patterns included in the book were rather old fashioned . None of them were for a yoked sweater ... good resource book if you are interested in fairisle knitting.
