Michael Pearson's Traditional Knitting - Aran, Fair Isle and Fisher Ganseys, New & Expanded Edition (Paperback, Revised edition)

"I think I was lucky in the timing -- I learned to knit just when your book first came out. The other books on the subject seemed to be aimed at people who already knit. Yours was the one that made me feel this was something I could do and is the only one I read for pleasure, not just for patterns. (The line drawings were fantastic, too.) After a while, of course, I wished it was about five times as long " -- Gordon Reid"For years knitters have been pining for the return of Michael Pearson's lovely book, "Traditional Knitting, " complete with historical notes, charts, photos and patterns for Fair Isle, Guernsey, and Aran sweaters. Once again, our wish is granted by dear Dover." -- Meg Swansen, "Schoolhouse Press""A fascinating and well researched book." -- "Evening Press
"After visiting the remote fishing villages of Scotland and England, Michael Pearson compiled this extensive record of unique, centuries-old patterns. His sources include oral traditions, documents, family albums, and photos. Pearson combines a social history of the villages and the living history of these crafts with detailed patterns and practical instructions for knitters. This richly illustrated volume includes 32 pages in color.
