Why is it that these strictly utilitarian\nknitted garments capture one's imagination?\nThey seem to exude both magic and mystery and\nevoke romantic visions of life at sea. Their reality\nis much different.\nFor most who wore these sweaters (or jumpers\nas they are known in the United Kingdom), they\nwere the first line of defense, helping to protect\nthe wearer from the rigors and hazards of working\nat sea. Ganseys were the traditional attire of men\nwho earned their livelihoods fishing off the coast\nof England and beyond to the Channel Islands and\nHolland. Their lives were extremely hard; many\noften were very short.\nThe ingenious inventor of the gansey is unknown,\nbut it was a masterful feat. Ganseys became the\ngarment of choice for fishermen and sailors alike,\nbeginning in at least the eighteenth century. The\ngansey knitter made each her or his own by incorporating\nintricate, often personal, patterns.\nThey are still in use today, but their popularity has\nwidened considerably. Ganseys now make contemporary\nfashion statements.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis eBook from \u003cem\u003ePieceWork\u003c\/em\u003e includes an article\nby Deb Gillanders—\"The Migrations and Evolution\nof the Gansey\"—that explores the compelling\nstory of the gansey. Four projects follow. The first\nof these is a small bag designed for novice gansey\nknitters. It's followed by a trio for a favorite child: a\ntraditional gansey with a matching hat and socks.\nEnjoy your gansey adventure! \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDownload the \u003cem\u003eGlorious\nGanseys\nto Knit eBook\u003c\/em\u003e today! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Long Thread Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45042273714227,"sku":"umq1791802796644","price":7.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/9672\/9139\/files\/glorious-ganseys-to-knit-knitting-pattern-ebook_1.jpg?v=1791802801","url":"https:\/\/www.daymerton.com\/products\/glorious-ganseys-to-knit-knitting-pattern-ebook","provider":" Wallace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
