St Andrews Harbour in Scotland, is an historic fishing harbor inspiring this classic ensemble of socks, mitts & tam, and the namesake for the collection ~~ St Andrews Harbour.
Remember my series of fishermen neck gansey posts from last year?
Well, I’ve returned, with a fishermens gansey for your feet !
And for hands….
There’s an option for kilt-hose style turned cuffs ~~ adorned with kilt flashes or ribbons tied beneath cuff and folded down, this variation resonates the Scottish Highlands!
Option for legwarmers, anklewarmers, & boot cuffs….
Alive O’ !!
A bonus gift included of “Petra’s St Andrews Harbour Tam” !
Because nearing the end of my pattern writing for the socks, my good & dear friend Petra had been busy test-knitting the socks, but was also (secretly) adapting the sock pattern to a proper sea-worthy tam…
So beautiful, easy to knit, and a Must Have! I am knitting one straight away ~~ but more on the tam knitting later. For now I am working like a team of knitting fisher lassies to get all this pattern submitted and sorted out.
Happy Spring everyone!
I have pushed to have this ready on the Vernal Equinox and and shared in short series of fishermen posts, and at last here it is ~~ done & dusted!
Pattern found on Ravelry HERE.
Ooh, lovely, I can’t wait to get started 🙂
Thanks so much! I will be knitting these along with you, to finish up my full fishermens sock, mitts & tam wardrobe! xx
… plus another neck gansey or two ( all those others lost in the fire ) xx
❤
These are marvelous, Jen. I’m doing the socks straightaway! The matching tam to follow. Tytyty.
Thanks Morrie, I am joining in too, knitting more, and more to the pile! I desperately need the distraction through this because the county folk are being monsters and trying to not give us a permit to rebuild because of our road…( more tears ) ttfn
Oh that’s not fair. As if you haven’t been through enough already…
I will be sending positive thoughts and prayers for a quick resolution ❤
Have to admit, it’s really rough on us right now. But maybe your prayers will make a difference, thank you! xx
I love them all. Well done, you and Petra!
Great, thanks Gretchen!
I LOVE the socks. Beautiful, yummy, delicious…and Petra’s tam is lovely. Somebody please model of it by the sea!
That my dear, is an excellent request!!! xx
Yes! excellent idea!!! – LOL – I have such a longing to the seaside! hoping for a walk at easter, with maybe a nice photo…….
That would be great!
Always love your designs and artistry, Jen! So glad to see you moving forward as best you can after so much destruction a nd sadness from the loss of your beautiful home in the October fires. A group of our Sonoma knitting gals are purchasing this pattern to knit. Maybe a KAL. 🤗
Thank you Debbie! I thought I recognized a few of the names with the purchases ~~ thank everybody! xx
