There’s an article on the BBC website this week about Fair Isle sweaters, including wonderful photographs taken 50 years ago on the island, wearing their sweaters. It’s well worth a look.
I was surprised to see so many vertical designs in the sweaters, like the ones worn by Stewart and Triona Thomson. That’s a design element I don’t see as often as the round yokes or the horizontal bands.
And I liked seeing the knitting machines, then and now.
