Morecambe Bay Fishermans Gansey mark 2

I've now simplified the design as I felt it was a bit fussy,so now the yoke just has the textured ripple stitch  across it which I prefer.

new sweater design

I think this looks quite good -------- the photo not the sweater! The garment worked really well in Aran weight Lancashire Farm Wool & I intend to knit some more for Autumn.I find it comfortable to wear & its a bit of a different look than my usual Arans & Ganseys but still along the same traditional lines.

Posh Sardine Arnside (its an anagram geddit?)

Heres a very nice new venue for my woolly things! Really intriguing shop/cafe,lots of vintage & retro things + proper antiques & great view (and cake as well!).Friendly owners,lovely atmosphere (and cake) and some of my things! Just wish there was a little bit more room for me! Its the sort of place you browse around for ages  and eat cake!

White Rabbit Arnside

Very sad that the White Rabbit woolshop is closing down at Easter.Such a shame this was really a 'hidden gem' with allsorts of interesting vintage stock as well as wool & sculptures.The owners will be doing some events in the area so maybe our paths will cross again! All the best & many thanks for the excellent sales Karen & Tommy!
