Ronald Sabiston B.E.M., Traditional Knitter of Fishermen's Sweaters 

My father learned to knit in the hospital, WW1...he taught my mother and then me.

My dad knitted his own fisherman's socks on four needles with a pattern he never used a knitting pattern he did it from memory a clever man he was he worked as a dredger on Preston docks times gone bye Albert Cowell I miss my dad

Great little tidbit! Adds to searchable facts based on real life experiences.

It's from the Irish word "geansaí" which means jumper/sweater.

Can these ganzee,s still be purchased from redcar??
