Can now unveil the latest Fair Isle sweater knitted by Annelise.
It's in a pattern book called the 'Vintage Shetland Project' by Susan Crawford.
Crawford transcribed the pattern from an original sweater in the Shetland Museum, which was knitted by a Doris Hunter for her fiance Ralph Patterson in 1921. They married and during WWII Ralph was captured and spent time as a POW in Japan, with his sweater.
