Book excerpt: "...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 timeless heirloom pieces incorporating traditional Shetland knitting techniques and motifs..." -- back cover.
