"It was very creative and something that
was absolutely intrinsic. It had a meaning for you as you were doing
it –it was part of your history." |

"All these people were coming
from the south and they had their influence all around us, and I
thought - I want something of Shetland to remain. The way I could
do this would be to create something that would forever attach me
to Shetland, so I knitted this stole which would be an heirloom for
my daughter." |
Elizabeth White |
"My granddad learnt me to knit.
I remember him sitting showing me how to do it. He made me a small
knitting belt out of seal skin.
We always had a graph book with patterns dotted down. A lot of the patterns
were just passed on - you would borrow someone’s book and put it
in your own book (at primary school)." |
