Finishing the gansey
"Oh I did, yes. You get quite a sense of accomplishment"
Oh I did, yes. You get quite a sense of accomplishment when you, when you first start you find it very boring indeed until you get through the arm holes, and then it starts to take shape and you become interested and once it’s finished you get this great sense of achievement that you’ve finished one.
