Sometimes here in Shetland its easy to forget how far-reaching our yarns can be. As you probably know, every year we take place in the Colourbox challenge with local agriculture shows, see posts
here and
here.
Well our friend
Mary Jane Mucklestone was teaching at Vogue Knitting Live last week and she had the idea to try a mini colourbox challange with her students, so using this years colours, the students set about knitting their own Fair Isle using the colourbox shades
They were very lucky because there were a few Shetland Ladies kicking about New York last week and noted Shetland Designers
Hazel Tindall and
Wilma Malcomson were both available to judge the entries, just like we do here!
After some deliberation (by the looks of it!) Hazel and Wilma chose their winners..
So congratulations ladies! We would have loved to have been there and seen J&S in the wild in New York
Happy Knitting!
