hello again - i'm up to date on your cabinet of curiosities, jonesing for the next, and now going through your video oeuvre. and bought your book! can't wait to receive it. Di, i think all my knitting life has brought me to this point: i must knit a gansey. finding you and sheila, instantly connecting with your vibe, and yearning for more - it's time. i will say that i bought RB-R's book, started knitting her wee sampler, got stuck and reached out to her for help. her reply was for me to buy her cd.... kinda off-putting, so i put the project down. a few years ago now. meanwhile, i came to discover that i am of Cornish descent! i am an 11th generation American - my family 'came over on the boat' not long after the first arrivals, and settled in Tennessee. I always knew i had 10 prior generations, but only recently found out they lived in and launched from Cornwall! so now, i will try and incorporate some of those patterns into my gansey, when i finally cast on - and hopefully, i'll find them in your book! i can't tell you how excited this makes me...! cheers! libby
I was just about to try making half the armhole gusset, putting stitches on to yarn, casting on over the gap to make a steek section, so I could continue in the round up to the shoulder and with short row shaping, do a 3 needle bindoff. Now I am going to have to work out a saddle as well, just because....
Hallo liebe Strickfreunde, gibt es euer Strickbuch auch in Deutsch? Ich schaue mir eure Videos gerne an. Sehr inspirierend. Liebe Grüße von Marina aus Berlin in Deutschland 🤗
Thanks a lot for your explanations. I am preparing my first garnsey meeting and knitting at Leer at the end of February and I am so glad I found your Chanel on YouTube. It is opening a new knitting world and I can collect my ideas, hope to find the different stitches. What is the name of the group on instagram. Enjoy your time, I will be on my mind. Lydia🫶🏼
