A designer from the region, Alice Starmore explores the history and techniques of the art and provides instructions for over 15 of her own knitwear designs. 100 color photos., This practical book looks at the Fair Isle technique. Rich in pattern and sumptuous in colour, it stresses sound technical information and creative innovation.
