Beth Brown-Reinsel Workshop - Traditional Ganseys
Known for her work with Traditional Gansey knitting and colorwork, Beth Brown-Reinsel will be joining us for a 2-day knitting weekend! Sunday's class will be host to her beautiful Traditional Gansey workshop to teach you the ins and outs of a well-known sweater technique from years past!
Students will learn how to construct a Gansey, a sweater form prevalent in the last century and early part of this century among the fishermen of the British Isles. A small scale sweater will be knitted using traditional construction techniques including the classic Channel Island Cast-on, split welts, seam stitches, traditional knit/purl patterns, the underarm gusset, shoulder straps with perpendicular joining, and picked-up sleeves. Alternative methods to these techniques will also be explored.
