From Meg Swansen (Schoolhouse Press, distributor) This charming and historic title, first published in 1979, is just now back in print from Polperro Heritage Press. I have knitted many Guernseys using patterns from this dear book; the Polperro Musician being one of my favorites. And isn't the cover photo of the patient knitter, waiting for the ships to return, most touching? You will find 30 Gansey charts, complete history of Cornish knitting, instructions for two classic garments (into which you can knit the stitch-pattern of your choice), and scores of wonderful old photos.
