If somebody will knit a Fair Isle swetaer, it's worth whatever she/he charges. It's a frightfully fiddly way to work.

That picture of folks beside the lake seems to me to be advertising a "country" look, but to my 21st century southeastern US eye, it looks very "dressed up", and morein line with "city" dress. That's a result of styles changing, I suppose. I especially like the shine on the shoes.
