This class will cover the interesting and unique knitting traditions found in traditional hand knitted gloves from Estonia. We will begin with a bit of history of these colorful hand coverings, look at some unique cast ons and then begin our own gloves. The focus will be on several different embellishments such as decorative braids and an inlay technique for adding color and also glove construction (those pesky fingers). Featured Instructor Nancy Bush is an expert in Estonian knitting traditions and will share stories and cultural history from this unique and richly vibrant northern country. Join other knitters around the fireplace to immerse in this beautiful craft. Knitters should have advanced intermediate knitting skills: how to cast on, knit, purl, increase, decrease and work in the round with double point needles. They should also have some experience with working with 2 colors at a time as well as some experience reading charts.
