Paper boats with a postcard printed with knitted fish from Deirdres collaboration with Unst Peerie knitters - an afterschool knitting club in Shetland.
Hi Joanne, My boats at last!
My boat is made from paper printed with fisherman’s gansey patterns.
“ A fisherman’s gansey was once his most distinctive feature. A navy blue jumper, patterned on the top half and part of the sleeves was a proud possession. It was likely to be knitted by a loved one and carried a pattern characteristic of the fishing port of the family.” Project looks great. Deirdre.
