Announcing: The Designer for Field Guide No. 17
We’ve really had to sit on this piece of news.
So excited.
She’s one of the shining stars in the knitting firmament.
Designer, teacher, author, tour guide—she brings a huge swath of knowledge and talent to what she does. And, best of all, she does it with so much love.
Who is it?
Mary Jane Mucklestone.
Mary Jane is one of the knitting world’s great travelers, exploring the world with knitting in hand. We have long dreamed of going on one of her guided trips to the Shetland islands.
She has taught legions of knitters all about working with color.
She is the author of extraordinary books including Fair Isle Weekend (Laine); 200 Fair Isle Motifs: A Knitter’s Directory (Interweave); 150 Scandinavian Motifs: The Knitter’s Directory (Interweave); Geo Knits (Sterling); and Fair Isle Style: 20 Fresh Designs for a Classic Technique (Interweave).
Take a trip to Mary Jane’s website to get a taste of all that she is up to.
Now, it’s time to get ready for a season of knitting with Mary Jane and her colorful ideas. Field Guide No. 17 is a collection of designs that we will knit again and again. We can’t wait to begin.
Launch date is coming in a few weeks. If you’d like to be among the first to receive your Field Guide No. 17, just sign up now to subscribe to the 2021 series of three Field Guides. We’ll include the magnificent Metal Book Rest—the hands-free way to hold your Field Guide—when you subscribe now. Sign up right here.
What’s the theme of this Field Guide? All will be revealed in good time.
Welcome, Mary Jane! It is a thrill to share your work.
Woo hoo!
Can’t wait to see what beautiful things she’ll dream up.
Yahooooo!! Can’t wait.
I hope there are plans afoot to have travel plans in the mix !! My sister and I have been packed for the last two years ! SUZABELLA
Oh I love her! This is very exciting.
So excited! I just got her Fair Isle Motifs book. Can’t wait to see what is in store for the Field Guide.
Oh I’ll go anywhere with MJM. Subscribed in a flash.
Mary Jane Mucklestone is a legend in my Pennsylvania knit shop. BRAVO!
Wow!! Love Mary Jane!! I have all her books and love using them for inspiration. A Wonderful surprise for sure!
Love Mary Jane❤️ I think she used to have her own yarn through Classic Elite, no? The colours were spectacular.
Wow! She is a fantastic designer and knitter. Can’t wait to see what is in store for us.
Well, this certainly brightened up my day!!!
Make that my life at the moment!
Let’s go!
So excited! Took a class from her too many years ago. Wonderful teacher! Wonderful creativity. Can’t wait.
I’m so excited. I purchased the Shetland Wool Week pattern book and have been on a mission to learn color work along with stranded knitting. Pure Bliss.
I dream….of travelling to the Shetland Islands. And I would come so close if only this subscription offer (and shipping) was available to . This looks like another wonderful adventure.
You can still get the field guides individually. It’s only the yearly subscription that is US only. I’m in the UK and have one in hard copy and several electronic ones of previous field guides. They are great and I’m excited to see this new one too!!!
to CANADA. Seems my little CANADIAN flag did not show up in my post.
Hooray!! I am looking forward to this! MJ is a talent. And nice person.
Wow! Love her knits.
Yippee. I bought FairIsle Weekend and I love it. I hope I get the metal stand – I think I may have put my order in before that offer was a part of it.
Let’s plan a field trip to Scotland !
Gorgeous photos! Anyone know what type of boots those are?
They look like Xtratuf Legacy Fishing Boots
Thank you!
YES!!!!
Yay! Mary Jane is one of the most awesome knitters on the planet❤️
I’d love to subscribe, but I live in Canada. When will you be opening up to other countries?
Her Xtra-tuffs boots are the official boot here in Alaska, too bad she didn’t turn them down so the lovely insides could be seen.
How can I get #17 only instead of getting all 3 in the series?
Very exciting – one of my favorite designers! Can’t wait for #17!
Sold! Well-played, MDK.
