Hey gurl! I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed knitting those mittens. (I test-knit 7 of the projects, including the cover mittens and the ones you’re contemplating) I learned so much and enjoyed every assignment Nancy gave me, it’s a great book! Did you ever get your witch hat done?

I am an Estonian and a big enthusiast of folk art (have also finished a course that allows me to teach folk art).
I also have the book Nancy Bush wrote. And I love it and the way she gives quite a fair overview of Estonian knitting and history. I like the way she gets the inspiration without harming the traditsions and most of all – how she has personalized all of her designs!

I have a boatload of books, but not that one! Will keep an eye out for it. I do love the patterns.

New commenter here, if thats what I’m called. I love this book, I haven’t knitted mittens yet but it’s one thing thats in the future. I’ve been a little afraid to start I really don’t know why, I knit socks just fine. But I don’t know if you can compare socks to mittens????

Oh, I can’t wait for the lesser known books. I am really enjoying this book thread–great stuff!

I agree….and I took a class with Nancy on Estonian knitting which was the icing on the cake for this book. Can hardly wait for her new lace book!

I completely agree. That book is a must have for any real knitter. I’ve knit Ellen’s sock a couple of times and just love that pattern.
