Recording traditional patterns of gloves.

For those unfamiliar with the pronounciation, Sanquhar is pronounce SAN-ker, sometimes with the k replaced with a glo'al stop ;-)

[Tamnymore]

Wow I've never seen glottal stop written with a glo'al stop as in ho' wa'er bo'le @HenriettaMaria

@Tamnymore @HenriettaMaria

As in the probably apocryphal 'How do you spell your surname?' 'Pa'erson. With two ts.'

That was really interesting. I’d never heard of Sanquhar gloves and I’ve lived in Scotland all my life. The woman recording the patterns seems to be a quilter too, from the picture of the cushions on her sofa.

That looks really interesting, I have knitted a lot of traditional mittens but not gloves.

In case anyone else is interested here is a link to some of the patterns available https://shop.theswi.org.uk/products/swi-sanquhar-gloves-pattern
