Ornamented Journey

Kõigepealt tahaksin tänada neid inimesi, kes on meie raamatuesitlusi nii soojalt vastu võtnud!
First of all I'd like to thank all those people who have been at our presentations - you were so warm!

Now let us peek into the freshly published English version of the glovebook. It has some extra pages - our main translator Ilmar Lehtpere, who has been translating Kristiina's creation for seven years, has written a brief introduction to the book in what sense would be better for a reader to perceive it.

Kristiina Ehin, wellknown Estonian poetry writer and my friend, has created five short, but yet very fascinating stories about knitters from the past. These are accompanied by my gloves' photos.

There are two more parts in the book. I present the sources of inspiration for my gloves, meaning the authentic archive material from Estonian  National Museum. And finally I give some instructions how to knit gloves and some more commonly known Estonian ethnographic cuffs.

The book is available in Estonian web stores such as http://www.rahvaraamat.ee/ and http://www.kriso.ee/, or you also could write to sales@saara.ee and order from there, or wait until the books arrive to your countries (US, Canada and a selection of European states).

Have a pleasant journey in the world of gloves!
