Eight colourwork patterns ranging from small projects like wristlets to yoked sweaters.
All patterns are designed using Shetland wool yarn and inspired by the traditional Fair Isle knitting style.

“I invite you to join us, this small band of traveling friends, sharing a little glimpse of the isle from my outsider’s perspective. I offer you a small collection in my own style of Fair Isle knitting, which I hope honors the tradition, even though my work isn’t especially traditional.”
