Description
Students new to Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian knitting will begin with an ornament-sized mitten to learn techniques such a picot-edge hem, thumb insertion, and shaping. After that, design your own pair or another project. Those with Latvian mitten experience may design a hat, cowl, mittens, tote or sweater.
Mary Germain has knit for most of her life and taught various fiber arts for 30+ years. As owner of The Wool Works yarn shop in Milwaukee, WI from 1985-96, Mary learned about Latvian knitting from a dear customer, Irma Mežaraups Ciganovich. This developed into a focus on Latvian and ultimately Baltic knitting which has included publishing knitting patterns in PieceWork magazine. Mary has traveled to Latvia and Estonia numerous times to study local knitting techniques. www.marygtheknitter.blogspot.com
