Hello. This is a Guernsey (gansey to some of you) I am knitting for myself. Its five-ply wool from Flamborough Marine and is in their Claret colour. I tinkered with the design and have completed the body in the round to the arm-holes, then knitted to the shoulders and neck seperately on two needles. I’ve done my sums and chosen parts of the pattern for the sleeves, which I’ve just started.

Very nice Penny

Thanks, Rick. It’s come out the correct size. I’m pleased its finished. I can start my Aran that has Guernsey patterns on it.

Your work is beautiful, the work itself, as well as the color and the pattern.

Thanks very much, ntl. I have started an Aran jumper but am hankering after knitting another Guernsey. It will have to wait, though, as I have to save for the wool.
