And yes, you can wear lopi sweaters in the rain and after you come in about an hour later you might suddenly feel a single drop of water permeate through ๐คฃ.

2025-01-28 17:55:17 +0000 UTCLooking forward to seeing the new series! I love Ian Mortimer's books - he is a good storyteller, isn't he? I do have a silly question, though: does knitting a gansey traditionally involve a knitting belt? And more importantly, even if the answer to my first question is "no", have you ever considered trying to use one?
