    I have been infatuated with Gansey sweaters ever since Fringe Association spotted the Daniel Day-Lewis sweater. My knitting group is considering knitting one as a group project. This book would be a great resource!

    To me, Gansey sweaters are virtually the ultimate knitted pieces. The elements of this sweater are unique to each knitter, and the results of this basic formula leave room for endless possibilities. I absolutely adore Gansey sweaters, and aspire to learn everything possible about them! As a fairly new knitter, I am acquiring daily skills, and MUST HAVE Beth Brown-Reisel’s ‘Knitting Gansey’s: Revised and Updated’ edition. Thanks for the giveaway!

    Ganseys would be a new adventure for me in knitting after all my years of projects. So wonderful to offer us this opportunity to learn and grow with our skills:)

    I am just restarting my knitting hobby after a while off. This book would be excellent to restart, I started with sweaters the first time – I know, weird but the first thing I ever knit was a very large sweater. And these look amazing.

    I’ve wanted to design a gansey for a while now. I found a good quantity of Jamieson yarn at a thrift shop which would be perfect. Because this book is more than just patterns, more like a master class really, it would be the best resource. Thanks for the giveaway.

  30. tracee says

    I had never heard of a Gansey before so I learned something today (its the same as Guernsey, btw)

  31. Maryanne says

    I just returned this to the library, but I would love to have my own copy to work from.
