Here are two updated Fair Isle patterns.

Have you seen any others?  These are from 1901, at Nordstrom.

I really like the first one. I should wear less black.

I like both of them.   I don't wear turtlenecks but I really like the look of one.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

Not updated Fair Isles, but the kind some might remember from the 70s and 80s at O'Connells's in New York.

I prefer the 2nd one, but I don't like the neck.    Too high for me.

Im wearing a Fair Isle sweater today from Talbots. It is ivory ,and from the top of the bust, to the top of the hip, there  is Fair Isle knitting ,in shades of black and ivory  with a bit of metallic yarn .  The neck is tipped in black as is the edge of the sleeves

 

I got rave reviews this morning,  from  the waitresses at our favorite eatery...The sweaters you have pictured are not colors  I like. Nor, do I like an entire sweater ,with Fair Isle knitting
