Learn all about the techniques used for knitting ganseys with this comprehensive sourcebook from experts in the subject, Di Gilpin and Shelia Greenwell. The authors explain these techniques with step-by-step instructions and artworks so you can replicate these details in your own work.

Discover all the techniques you need to make an authentic gansey sweater with their special features which were developed for warmth and comfort in what were often, harsh conditions out at sea. 

A key element to the gansey is the stitch pattern which was specific to the local area and often had a symbolism beyond the pattern itself and, some hoped, would act as a charm to keep the fishermen safe while they were out at sea. This collection features a comprehensive directory of 150 gansey stitch patterns so you can choose your favourite designs and motifs and learn which patterns were important to the fishermen in different areas.

There are also 10 patterns for garments and accessories so you can practise your skills including a child's traditional gansey sweater. There are also some contemporary takes on the traditional gansey using lighter weight yarn and design details: these include a beautiful sweater with a gansey yoke; a contemporary take on the fisherman's kep; a gansey stitch cowl; a pair of mittens and socks; and light linen tank top.

The smaller projects such as the mittens and hats are great for practising your skills before you attempt one of the larger projects.

Very disappointed
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I am disappointed in this little bit tube of lotion. I was expecting a bigger tube of it. This is not worth $7.00 and you need to send me a bigger tube of it for my money. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THIS.

Very smooth and hydrating
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is probably meant for hands, but a small amount on your face is a good barrier against pollution and free radicals. I will buy the larger bottle next time!

My skin was dry before menopause
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve had dry, sensitive skin all my life. Post menopause? It’s extra extra dry. I put this under my eyes and around my lips and my concealer/foundation doesn’t settle into my lines/wrinkles.

Temu size for Amazon price
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This lotion is great. I feel like I got ripped off. I wish I read how many ounces it was before purchasing it. Boy was I surprised paying amazon price and receiving Temu size. That is AA battery for comparison.

I should check the size
Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This wasn’t the lotion I expected but I should Probably check the sizes before ordering. This is a mini bottle. Not as moisturizing as I’d hoped for. Very light water consistency. Not my favorite lotion.
