Grand Shetland Adventure Knits is naturally a Thistler favorite and has been wildly popular! This book is an amazing reflection on Mary Jane Mucklestone and Gudrun Johnston’s time in Shetland and it includes 14 beautiful knitting patterns. The designs are the kind of practical garments that you would pack for a trip to Shetland: socks for cozying up by the stove, a pullover suitable for hiking, and a hat that will keep your hair in place if it’s windy. The book also showcases some of the duo's most cherished places in Shetland, with brief essays of the days they have spent there.
