"What could be better than learning or developing your knitting skills with the experts, members of Shetland Guild of Spinners, Knitters, Weavers and Dyers? This book is a feast of wonderful patterns featuring traditional Shetland motifs in wonderful heathered shades. I really enjoyed the breadth of designs from jumpers to mobile phone covers and bags, all shot against an authentic Shetland backdrop. The patterns are thoughtfully written with clear charts and descriptions for knitters of all abilities, and you get to learn a little more about each designer who has contributed to the book, their background and how they approach their craft. Whether you are just starting to explore stranded knitting, or are accomplished in your craft, you are sure to find a project to delight you in these pages." - Juliet Bernard, founding editor of The Knitter
