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. . . . and it] is the only one I read for pleasure, not just for patterns. -- Gordon Reid, www.ganseys.com
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 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. For this revised and expanded edition, the author has added an extensive selection of new pattern charts and full knitting instructions, making this essential work even more valuable to lovers of traditional knitting.
Great collection of patterns. So much history. I learned so many interesting things. The pictures were amazing and definitely my favorite part. A history and knitting lesson wrapped up in one book. -- Debbie's Bookcase

Simply Lovely and Versatile
Size: Large, Color: Navy
I bought this in navy for a family photo shoot. It's good quality, travels well (medium weight; no wrinkles) and works in all but really hot weather. I also wore it as a duster a few days later. As a result, I returned to purchase the emerald green.

So close!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Navy
This dress exceeded my expectations, but the deal breaker for me is no pockets! I can't believe I missed that. The fabric is impressive for polyester. It seems relatively breathable, and it's a very nice mid weight that flows and drapes well. It is smooth and conceals lumps and bumps. The buttons are well made, and the placket does not gap. I ordered the navy blue and it's exactly as expected. Size XXL is exactly right for me at 48/40/50 and 5'6". It hits about 4" below my knee. I would prefer shorter at the knee for easier to wear as a duster. I wish it had pockets!

Classic dress at a great price
Size: Medium, Color: Black Ivory Geometric
I was shocked, in the best way when I received this dress as the material is thick and heavy. I was looking for a dress that I could take on business trips that was comfortable, stylish and didn't wrinkle. This dress checked all the boxes. It's a classic style that will never go out of style.

Runs smaller than my regular size.
Size: Large, Color: Hot Pink Leafy Floral Ditsy
Medium weight fabric and decent quality. Tight fit across bust and under arms and also waist. I am not a big busted woman although I am not so many inches different from bust to waist (it gapped at waist upon sitting. I had to exchange it for a bigger size. So my experience leads me to belive that this manufacturer sizes smaller than what I would expect from expensive clothing. For the price is a good choice if you remember to go at least one size up from your regular size.
