Grand Shetland Adventure Knits
Mary Jane Mucklestone will never forget the first time she arrived in Shetland. After nothing but water for as far as the eye could see, the tiny airplane finally landed on a short landing strip bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea. “When coming to Shetland, you’re fully surrounded by the sea up until the very last moment. It makes you realise how far from everything Shetland really is — it would be easier to miss it than hit it,” says Mary Jane.
As for Gudrun Johnston, every time she returns to Shetland, it brings her the same sense of calm. The feeling stems from the wide open landscape, which seems to go on forever. “I take a deep breath of air, and it helps me let go of everything. Then I feel that I can think clearly again.” It’s time for a brief geography lesson as Mary Jane and Gudrun introduce you to Shetland — the inspiration behind Grand Shetland Adventure Knits.
Mary Jane and Gudrun have put together 14 wonderful knitwear patterns for you to experience Shetland through your knitting. Patterns include cozy socks and hats to colorwork sweaters and much more!
