Knitting

This is Mary’s knitting page

I enjoy knitting the traditional patterns of Fair Isle and Shetland, whose rhythm and simplicity appeal to me.  They are knitted in 100% pure Shetland wool Jumper weight (4 ply equivalent) and are very warm and windproof.  The wool is obtainable from Jamieson & Smith in Scotland.  

During our journey to France I have completed a variety of other patterns - some Jaeger ones using Alpaca yarn, and one by Rebecca Bone in Japanese 'Blossom' yarn.

You can see some of the pullovers and cardigans I have made in the slideshow below

Garments can be knitted to order.  Please contact me to discuss your requirements.
