Close-knit: exploring how knitting has shaped the historical and enduring relationships of the Shetland archipelago.

Abstract
By considering the archipelago as a dynamic form, this study examines historical and contemporary examples of island to island ways of being, knowing and doing. Shetland hand knitting offers a contextual backdrop to explore the shaping of historical and enduring relationships between the Shetland Islands. In positioning the Shetland Islands as mutually constituted and inter-related, the study offers an examination of the Shetland archipelago in its own right, rather than as told in relation to the metropolitan centres of Great Britain. Such a perspective affords a more nuanced understanding of some of the smaller islands that constitute the British Isles.
