MDK Field Guide No. 2: Fair Isle

MDK Field Guide No. 2 is all about easy entry into the world of colorwork, with four projects that come together fast. In putting together a new Field Guide, the hard part isn’t coming up with ideas. The challenge is to pare down the list. When we began thinking about Field Guide No. 2: Fair Isle, there was no end of possibility. Stranded colorwork is a vast, colorful sea of beautiful things to make. Overwhelming when you first dive in. Our aim is to provide a mix of patterns that make it possible to play with stranded colorwork at whatever level you’d like to try. Easy. Easier. Easiest. Working with our Creative Director Melanie Falick gave us the chance to create some pretty stunning Pinterest idea boards. What surprised us was the way that certain motifs and colorways and shapes kept catching our eye. A colorful yoke. A modern Fair Isle pattern. Socks with something happening.
