Gansey knitting

I started knitting a Gansey sweater because I needed a challenge.  The little sweater on the left is a sampler to get an understanding of what I am doing.  Recommended in the book.  So far it is just knitting in the round and the pattern changes are just knit and purl stitches.  Not too tough.  When I get to the shoulders I will do that part on the sampler then on my sweater.  This is sport weight yarn on #4 needles so it is taking some time.  I much prefer knitting from the top down.  Cozy evening as hubby changes the channel.       --Ann--
