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

    It looks fantastic. And so tight knit, he’ll be as warm as toast.

    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

    My hands hurt just looking at that tight knit, but this is gorgeous - well done!

      Thank you. You can see towards the end that my tension was losing some consistency but the whole experience was worth it
