gift

The best gift ever! Original knitted latvian mittens from Latvia by an original latvian grandma! Thank you Agnese and thanks to Agnese's grandma too. Yay!

I was never gifted a handknit item, so excited.

Fantastic! I love the pattern and colors in those... I have been admiring latvian mittens for ages, but haven't tried to knit any yet... only norwegian 2 color ones.

What a beautiful gift!

Absolutely beautiful. Uz sa dlho planujem opytat. Zacinam strikovat. Teda, snazim sa. :) A uz som unavena z vlny z miestnych mestskych trhov a Wilkinsonu. Chcela by som kvalitnu vlnu na nejaky ten pekny svetrik a neviem odkial. Vidim tu kopec krasnych veci. Vedela by si poradit, kde nakupit vlnu, nech nie je bohvieako draha. Na zaciatok staci aj nieco nie az tak perfektne. :)
Kazda rada draha. Kujem.

Ahoj, no tak skus pohladat na ebay - znacky napr Rowan, Debbie Bliss, Jo Sharp ma krasne ale drahsie. Ja to robim tak, ze pokukam na trebars rowan webstranke a to co sa mi pacikupim na ebay - vacsinou lacnejsie. Este Colourmart ma super ceny, to je taky vypredaj. Alebo potom moje vlnky z etsy obchodu ale moje su draheee :D
Dufam, ze si najdes tuto odpoved :)

Fabulous! My father's side of my ancestry is 100% Latvian. I've been getting handmade Latvian grandmother gifts from my own grandmother for most of my life. I wish I'd appreciated these things when I was younger... Wonderful patterns.
