Scotland hand knitted

Here in NE Fife, we’ve started a crazy project for the independence campaign – but this is an inclusive, not an exclusive one.  

‘Scotland Handknit’ is about knitting a map of Scotland.

We’re involving women from all over Scotland (and elsewhere). The knitters are all ages, from young women to someone in a nursing home.

They include ‘no’ voters in the referendum, ‘yes’ voters and undecided voters.

Each knitter will knit a piece approximately A4 in size. It’s really taken off and we have the whole country covered  – except for Orkney and Shetland.

We could use a mainland knitter but would really prefer the Shetland Isles to be knitted by someone who lives in Shetland. 

Please can you help us in our quest?

More details and information about how to apply from Lissa Herron at scotmapknitters@gmail.com and in the article, which was on the National Collective website. 

Thank you for your help.
