Propagansey , Yes, it is spelt correctly

 Hi,

Last week we popped up the coast to Whitby whilst staying in nearby Bridlington. Beautiful old fishing town that we have visited many times in the past.

and up in the town, at the back of a health food shop is Propagansey, sorry for the weird photo but the lighting was in the way.

Please check out the link to the shop for more information about ganseys from the east coast, There is also a facebook page which is well worth having a look at.

I was made very welcome by the owner and spent some time talking about knitting, ganseys and other people who also knit and design ganseys around the country and I would encourage anyone who knits to pop in and have a look round. There are handknitted items for sale, patterns yarn and old photos of the sailors wearing their ganseys.

For a more in depth look at the knitting and exhibitions covered by the shop, this is a link to their Facebook Photo page, just scroll down to see some amazing items ( and follow if you like what you see )

Out and about it Whitby there are several statues of people doing what people do, knitting, gutting fish, taking a break etc. They are part of an art trail however we just caught up with a few down by the harbour.

That sort of rounds up our time in Yorkshire, we allowed ourselves a few days to recover and wash some clothes before hitting the road again.

Speak soon x
