I had the opportunity to visit the Shetland Islands this past summer and met Mary Macgregor, a local craftswoman, whose book “Fair Isle Knitting Patterns” provided the inspiration for this design.

Not long after meeting Mary I went to Jamieson’s of Shetland to do some yarn shopping. When I saw their range in Ultra (a Shetland wool/lambswool blend) I decided to buy a selection of greys and blues (with a red thrown in the mix).
