Fair Isle Crafts Knitwear & Knitting table display for cruiseship visitors





 Elena and her new Fair Isle Knit Jumper

Elena asked me to take photos of all the knitwear before it starts to get sold to tourists.
And indeed some of this Fair Isle Knitwear has new owners tonight.

Elena also knit most of the hats as well. Besides using traditional colors, she often pushes the use of
non-traditional colours in a contemporary fashion while keeping with the traditional Fair Isle Patterns.
In other words she likes pink! bright colours! and it's a long dull winter!
