Click Here to Order FAIR ISLE VEST
VHS Video with Meg Swansen
This vest is worked on circular
needles from lower edge to armhole, where steek stitches are put on threads and
the V-neck section is worked-still in the round-by means of decreasing. Armholes
and center front are machine-stitched and cut, and the peculiar looking object
falls open into a graceful V-neck with curved armholes. You will learn every
step of the process for knitting this beautiful vest from plotting the shape, to
casting-on, to color-pattern knitting, shaping and blocking. 60 minutes

Click Here to Order FAROE ISLAND SWEATER
VHS Video with Meg Swansen
Like its cousin the Norwegian
Luskofte, this garment is recognizable at a distance: nearly always a
dropped-shoulder turtleneck, nearly always knitted in natural undyed wool and
covered by a small-repeat pattern. Meg varies the traditional style &
circular construction slightly. There is a hem at the lower edge instead of
ribbing, a modified, slightly inset armhole instead of a dropped-shoulder, a
scooped neck and the sleeves are knitted instead of sew in and three different
patterns are used instead of one. Written insert included. 60
minutes
