Waves and Peaks, Norwegian Stars, Boarders, Seeding, XOX, and Allover: These may sound like the names of rock bands, but in fact they are patterns found in Fair Isle knitting. Combinations of these beautiful designs create colorful sweaters and other knitwear that have impressed and delighted for centuries.

Students in this workshop explore a variety of traditional patterns, the history of Fair Isle knitting, and chart reading. Most of the workshop focuses on learning the Fair Isle technique. The prerequisite knitting skills are casting on, knitting, purling, and binding off.
