I'm afraid I don't know anything about traditional cast-on methods for Fair Isles. Someone like Susan Crawford, who has examined a lot of Shetland knits for her Vintage Shetland Project book, would have a better idea. You might try contacting her e.g. through her blog.

If there traditionally was a predominately used method, or if cast-on methods was as varied as it is today. It crossed my mind while reading some of your blog posts that you might be a person that might have some insight in this matter? I would be very happy to hear your thoughts on this. Thank you for sharing your knitting works on your blog!
