If Wool Week has inspired you to pick up a pair of needles then you'll be pleased to hear that STC Craft/Melanie Falick Books have kindly offered two books - Modern Top-Down Knitting by Kristina McGowan, and More Last-Minute Knitted Gifts by Joelle Hoverson (of Purl Soho).
How many needles are needed to create a piece of traditional fair isle knitting?
Please send your answer to assistant@selvedge.org Well done to Dawn Miller, Carla Wentink and Jennifer Bennett who each win an ANTA utility bag.

Two – and can be done on circular needles. My grandmother had a wool shop in Dublin in the 60’s & 70’s and was an expert fair isle knitter and I am so sorry I never filmed her knitting fair isle, such speed and dexterity.
Wool week has been a wonderful journey, even without the prizes! So much inspiration, wonderful photographs and excellent commentary. I must add that I really enjoyed Joelle Halverson’s first book “Last Minute Knitted Gifts”. I have knitted many of the projects and the patterns are unerringly satisfying. Can’t wait to hear more about the fair isle…
