Nancy Bush spent several months in Estonia talking with knitters and unearthing the fascinating history of the craft and the country. In addition to the rich cultural history, Nancy shares traditions and techniques that are unique to the knitting from this region. Clearly illustrated step-by-step instruction for techniques that will be new to most American knitters insure success. Included are charts for traditional lace and multicolored patterns typical of Estonian knitting. Instructions for twenty-five gloves, mittens, and socks, both historic and contemporary, that use these traditional patterns, round out this extraordinary work.
