Episode 3 - Fishermen Were Terrible Husbands

Hi and welcome in! This week we're chatting about ganseys! This adventure takes us through a little bit about the history and stitch pattern of a traditional gansey, as well as the culture behind the fishermen wearing them. Sometimes they were great husbands, sometimes they were.........not. But either way it was interesting to research! Thanks for watching
