Anne Doull is busy during winter. Not only does she have a regular job as an engineer, but her family also owns 650 sheep in the northwest of Mainland, the main island of Shetland, an archipelago off northeast Scotland.
Last year, her family became patrons of Shetland Wool Week, an annual handicraft gathering that has been held for the past 16 years and is among the highlights of the region.
Although the islands are difficult to reach, people come to learn knitting techniques and patterns, exchange ideas with like-minded people, and, of course, to see the Shetland Islands.
The southernmost of the inhabited Shetland Islands is Fair Isle, where a special knitting technique was invented by the wives of fishermen centuries ago.
