Okay, I'll admit it. Something I have always loved, which was usually reserved for grandfathers and fathers alike, are fair isle knitted sweaters. No longer frumpy and classified as the "ugly Christmas sweater", Fair Isle is a knitting technique and is named after a very small island in Scotland, where it originated.
Wanna get in on the trend? Here are some of my favourites.

If you know how to knit and you're feeling ambitious, why not get started on making one for your friend, sister, mom, dad or dog. If you don't know how to knit and are feeling overly ambitious, check out here for a tutorial on fair isle knitting.
What are your thoughts on the fair isle knitting technique? Am I crazy in loving the "ugly Christmas sweater"? Do tell.
Tata for now.
