The Gansey Knitting Sourcebook By Di Gilpin & Sheila Greenwell
Description
"In this book we hope to explore some of the latest findings in our search for the Source of the Gansey, including a study of one family’s collection from the North East of Scotland with previously unpublished notes from the knitters going back through the generations. We have also created an incredible archive of the motifs, seeding patterns and fabric designs as a Source for knitters to develop their own patterns and to understand the complexity and beauty of these incredible garments which represent the harmony between the Utilitarian and Art." (Introduction to the Gansey Knitting Source book).
