Simply Shetland. 5 Roxana's garden

For Simply Shetland 5, we invite you to open the gate and step into Roxana's Garden. Just as Roxana's garden is awash in color, there are projects here that are sure to please the knitter who loves color-from the deeply intense colors and drapey drama of the Annalisa Cape, to the bright colorplay of the Whirligig Vest, to the rich mixing of two related colors in the Clematis Jacket. Just as Roxana's garden makes the most of climbing flowers and low creepers and everything in-between, these three projects ask you to flex your knitting skills: from mosaic knitting, to Fair Isle, to using crocheted embellishment to enhance "plain" knitting. The Roxana Jacket is one of those projects that knitters dream of, because it looks more complicated to knit than it really is, and the final product will look good on many different body types; the Greystone Vest mimics the solid texture of stone in a chic, dress-it-up-or-dress-it-down way; the Chevron Tunic is a testament to the power and grace of a neutral color. This volume includes two handsome sweaters for men, both easy to knit. The garden is a place where we can cast off the busy pace of our work world and, instead, enjoy a leisurely moment in the natural world. And knitting promises much the same: a leisurely moment to cast on and enjoy the natural fibers that are Jamieson's and Simply Shetland yarns.
