Come now fishermen of olden days, lets share a splendid dream together!
Take me in your nets, out to the waves, oh to be unafraid of the elements, exploring harbors of every shore, while facing the bracing melody of the sea!
Introducing St Andrews Harbour, second of the two fishermen neck gansey patterns…
I have been working every minute I possibly can to have this project Fishermens Neck Ganseys ( two patterns in one download ) ready by Christmas, and I am happy to say that it is done & dusted!
St Andrews Harbour is an intrinsic image of the fishing industry of Fife, and the name sake of this design inspired by the Scottish Fleet fisher ganseys of Fife Scotland. The herringbone central motif is the distinctive element this design, in all of the three charts to choose from; moss stitch, or a variety of cables accompanying, as well as a simple & fast variation of each design.
About to take Emma out for a quick Christmas Eve stroll on the knitting trail , with shockingly nothing on my needles presently to knit, hurrying before it gets dark, while contemplating the joy of the holidays, of being finished the big project of fishermen neck ganseys …
and of fishing in Fife …

St Andrews Harbour, Fife, Scotland
