Abstract Shetland has become synonymous with certain kinds of knit textiles, which have influenced the development of its landscape, economy, and relationship to other places. Three distinct elements are important when considering Shetland knitting in relation to place: geographies of scale, e.g. small islands within a community of practice and creative economy that are global; typologies of space, e.g. domestic, educational, industrial, and online spaces; and place identity, e.g. conceptions of “Shetlandness.” The article examines each of these elements before presenting recent activity around the Shetland hap as one example of how they mesh together in practice. It builds on a 2016–17 study of contemporary Shetland hand knitting with further ethnographic research on Shetland’s knitting culture.

设得兰针织的地方

摘要 设得兰群岛已成为某些针织纺织品的代名词，影响了其景观、经济以及与其他地方的关系的发展。在考虑与地方相关的设得兰群岛针织时，三个不同的元素很重要：规模地理，例如全球实践和创意经济社区内的小岛屿；空间类型，例如家庭、教育、工业和在线空间；和地方身份，例如“设得兰群岛”的概念。在介绍设得兰群岛附近最近的活动之前，本文首先检查了这些元素中的每一个，作为它们在实践中如何结合在一起的一个例子。它建立在 2016-17 年对当代设得兰群岛手工编织的研究的基础上，并进一步对设得兰群岛的针织文化进行了民族志研究。
