Fantastic channel. I think that this is pretty difficult to knit. I shall have to take time to work it out before attempting it. I also see that the wool is a double knit. I am South African so our knitting terminology is the same as yours. Yours is absolutely beautiful
Thank you Matthew Topsfield, that was a really fascinating presentation. And I loved the bit at the end where you talked about adapting and experimenting with the traditional styles and motifs!
excellent, helpful presentation. I loved seeing his own pullover. Stunning. I am knitting a gansey as I listened and watched the video.(in Wendy navy, so I have to pay attention.)

Hi Margaret, thanks for the suggestion - we were lucky enough to meet Beth when she was last in Scotland and she kindly donated her gansey book to our museum library.
Really enjoyed this clear, instructive vid. Love the history and the fun of it all, cheers and thanks, Robyne Melia aka Bobby La

I suggest you might want to read the books by Beth Brown Reinsel about the Gansey. She went to the villages and interviewed the knitters of gansey.
