I Can't Believe I'm Fair Isle Knitting (Leisure Arts #5553)
Sheila G. Joynes says, "Friends and family describe my relationship to Fair Isle knitting as 'She paints with yarn.' " Sheila's knitting journey began when she was a teenager, but she was fascinated by color long before then. She says, "As a small child, I would spend hours studying a book of my grandmother's called World Famous Paintings. Years later, I graduated from the University of Washington with an Art Education degree. It provided me with an opportunity to focus on my love of color and fiber. Watercolor, fiber art, and photography were my favorite classes. I incorporated art in most of my lesson plans as a teacher and a volunteer."
