FASHION: new fair isle sweater

FASHION
new fair isle sweater

this sweater is not a classic look... especially at the wrong hands... for me this is one of those trends that when you look back, you would say to yourself what was i thinking...  it won't probably caught up in a huge way here in the philippines because of our weather but you might probably see this during the simbang gabi (dawn masses during holiday season)... beware though, your design/print choice could either be a hit or just plain tacky like in those holiday family portrait gone bad...

but first what is a fair isle sweater... it got its name from an isle in Scotland famous for its knitwear... 
Famous for birds, knitwear and historic shipwrecks, Fair Isle is a tiny jewel of an island lying half-way between Orkney and Shetland. Owned by the National Trust for Scotland, it’s one of Britain's most successful small communities, pioneering projects in wildlife tourism, windpower and sustainable management of the environment. http://www.fairisle.org.uk/
