'Every gansey is a work of art'

Available for over a year

If you've walked along the seafront in Bridlington, you've probably seen the sculpture of a gansey girl. She's not any girl in particular, but a symbol of the women who knitted ganseys, thick, highly pattered and tightly knitted woollen jumpers, to keep fishermen warm at sea. The gansey tradition is hundreds of years old. Sally Fairfax has been finding out about the people who are keeping the tradition alive. Picture credit: Ian Forsyth/Getty Images.
