Page move?

For consistency with the other knitting pages, I'd like to move this page to "Fair Isle (knitting)". Does anyone mind if I do that? Willow 00:05, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

link rot

The Fair Isle 101 site isn't available. When I try to access the She Ewe Knits page I get a generic Plesk desktop page that says the Domain Name probably doesn't work any more. Please delete until you can fix it. 4.249.63.72 (talk) 14:47, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reason

I have been informed, again and again, by many sources, that the reason for the variety of Fair Isle (etc.) patterns was to allow the bodies of fishermen to be identified after they washed ashore, often rather the worse for their time in the sea. Is there any real background for this? If so, it would make a good addition to the article. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 17:59, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
