Gansey Live Knit

Join handknitter Alastair Braidwood as he tackles a complete fisherman’s gansey from start to finish.

 

Taking about 10 days, this marathon of the knitter’s craft sees him take a simple single strand of British wool and dextrously loop it in a finished pullover, with a special design based on Athelhampton House, to be auctioned off as it grows.

 

Tune in from noon on Thursday 2nd October and admire the gansey as it grows.

Broadcasting live on YouTube, or come along and find Alastair in the Library
