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
Wow that's an amazing gift, and you made it just from looking at the original? Wow some more.
Curious how long something like this took to make?
Thanks.
It took me a year, but that's mostly because I took a sabatical from it. Definitely 100+ hours
