The island itself has great appeal, but I'm not sure I would be up to the demands of working non-stop all my waking hours. I remember the story of the Fair Isle designer whose work was copied by Chanel. It was interesting to see she wasn't nearly as upset about it as the rest of the knitting world seemed to be at the time the story broke. After watching that ferry crossing I'm thinking that when we go there for a visit we better take the plane!kristieinbchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08620113214111945592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-90312790717457423812016-12-07T13:30:06.698+00:002016-12-07T13:30:06.698+00:00I think I remember reading that it is related to a...I think I remember reading that it is related to a word meaning sheep.

A random thought occurs: where did the word "fair" in the name of Fair Isle come from? Is it merely that it's pleasant to look upon, or is it somehow connected with the Fair Folk?=Tamarnoreply@blogger.com
