Grand Shetland Adventure Knits is an inspired collection of cozy woolens that you would happily wear in the Shetlands or anywhere else for that matter! Mary Jane Mucklestone and Gudrun Johnston created these 14 beautiful knitting patterns in tribute to their time in the Shetlands and they want to share this love with you!
