Inspiration for a gansey, gurnsey, geurnsey, seedstitchy type sweater. I scanned all the little photo booth pictures I used to take of myself recently. Photographic evidence that I did exist as an 11 year old gamine, photos in my family of origin being a rarity. I didn't have many clothes, but I do remember this sweater, probably some low grade Simpson's department store synthetic turtle neck. I remember loving one other sweater when I was a kid, also an aran/gansey type cardigan. I liked the fineness of the pattern. Years ago I stashed some authentic gansey wool, tightly twisted navy blue, ready for a sweater like this. So many ideas, so many sweaters, so much yarn (stashed), so little time...
