fair isle forever

To a lot of folks, it may just look too 80's preppy, but I can not get enough Fair Isle ( n. (Clothing & Fashion) an intricate multicoloured pattern knitted with Shetland wool into various garments, such as sweaters [named after one of the Shetland Islands where the pattern originated]- thefreedictionary).

From the simplest pattern to the craziest arrangement- it makes the perfect piece of winter garb. I love the bold color combos and the soft, cozy muted ones all the same....
