Aidan's Gansey

Pattern: Snakes and Ladders from Beth Brown-Reinsel's Knitting Ganseys

Yarn: Knit One Crochet Too Angora Soft, color #662 Denim

Needles: US 2 and 4

Size: 22 inch chest

Modification: I decided that I really preferred a ribbed collar for this garment as it was intended for my grandson and I felt that the roll was a little too feminine.

Comments: This was a huge amount of fun to knit. I started it in the fall and knitted during my daughter's driver's ed classes and in odd moments. My mistake was in forgetting that children grow, and a boy who's arms measured 8" in the early fall when I meaasured him were 10" by Christmas. The moral of the story? Measure often, and adjust for growth as you go along, or project a bit ahead and add a few inches - they can always grow into, but never shrink down to!
