This book has everything you need to make a fiar-isle sweater from scratch from measurements to over 200 motifs you can use. This is amazing. I have a pattern I like already from another pattern, but this has helped me so much in making the colour graph for the knit. I have way too many projects lol but at the very least I got the 'make this pattern' itch done so I can focus on my wips.

Thanks to all the extra time at home this past year, I’ve really stepped up my knitting game. Beyond just scarves, now I make all kinds of things like sweaters, shawls, and hats. One of my new favorites is anything with lots of colorwork, aka Fair Isle Knitting. If you haven’t seen anything like this give it a google and you’ll see gorgeous displays of design and color!
Since I love working with colors and multiple strands, I knew that “200 Fair Isle Motifs” by Mary Jane Mucklestone would be a must read for me, so I stopped by my local library to check out a copy.
This book was everything I hoped for and more. It is detailed from technique to history and provides readers with a wide array of styles and designs for every level. It even dives into the world of designing your own patterns or designs!
If you enjoy knitting, this book is a fun book to add to your collection. After I return it to the library, I might have to make a purchase. I can see this book turning into a resource I would use again and again! I gave this book 5 stars!
Are you into knitting or crocheting?

Great Fair Isle resource for ideas and motifs. Charted motifs range from single stitch, single row ideas all the way up to 20 row stunners. Gave me too many ideas to further gussy-up some projects.
