There are a couple of good knitted lace (shetland subvariety <g>) books out, but the only one my pre-caffeine brain is coming up with is Sarah Don's, which I actually have (got it on ebay). And Shetland-inspired patterns show up in most knitted-lace, and lace-shawl books. We've discussed others on the yahoolist that I'm a part of, so inquiries could be directed that way (I do think you have to join the list, though): http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EZasPi/ Or there's the lady who taught the online Shetland lace workshop through our list. Her name is Liz Lovick, and she lives on Orkney (yet another Island off the coast of Scotland ;o). She's very helpful, and has a website with contact information: www.northernlace.co.uk
