Groundhog May 2023 2:53pm, 8 May 2023 5,535 posts	0 Groundhog I had a first fitting of the Whitby pattern Gansey my mum's been knitting since late January. No arms yet but the body is done and joined at the shoulders and an inch of the collar done. The fitting was just to see how high up the neck to go, though we did see also that the length is good. Good news as that would have been a big faff to change. 😊
