Snaraness
Order your copy here! Gudrun Johnston joins forces with Pom Pom Press for the latest instalment of her Shetland Trader series. This third volume explores the very roots of the series: the made-to-order knitwear business run in the 1970s by Patricia Johnston, Gudrun’s mother, which operated as The Shetland Trader.
Through archival research and a network of family, friends, and fibre enthusiasts, Gudrun has unearthed some of her mother’s best-loved designs and updated them for contemporary knitters. This collection contains 11 patterns for garments and accessories. Use them to create seventies-inspired dream ensembles as well as heirloom pieces incorporating traditional Shetland knitting techniques and motifs.

Notions:
Stitch markers to separate out lace repeats (optional), 1 locking stitch marker to mark odd numbered rows (optional), tapestry needle for weaving in ends
Notes:
This shawl begins at the point of the triangle and is shaped by making yarn overs at the beginning of every row, increasing the stitch count by 1 st every row. It is easy to make this triangle larger or smaller by adjusting the number of times the repeated section is worked.
