It's based on a gansey that our dad had commissioned; my brother wanted one too so I copied what I saw, modding for his size. I've learnt a lot from it, mainly that I never want to knit such a tight knit ever again. I'm so incredibly proud of it though, it just shows what perseverance can do

Oh, that's lovely! I especially like the colour :)

mainly that I never want to knit such a tight knit ever again.

lmao - at least it's done! There's a theory that every American weaver has an old, partially-finished Navajo blanket hidden in a cupboard somewhere.

Thank you

I wouldn't be surprised if there were some truth to that theory
