It's no secret, if you've been following my latest series of designs, that I'm in love with gansey texture, and have been ever since I purchased Beth Brown-Reinsel's "
Knitting Ganseys" (many, many years ago), with its minimalist black-and-white photography. Here's a summary of my own modest efforts in this direction.

Now, Brooklyn Tweed has just come out with a
collection of gansey designs. I'm so excited. I hope you'll check out BT's mix of innovation and tradition, and
understand why I'm not the only one to find these fishermen's sweaters
so fascinating and inspiring. And really, Jared Flood, Veronik Avery, Norah Gaughan et al. do it with more panache than I can possibly aspire to. Check it out!
