The first of the Estonian craft camp projects is finished although I think it is destined to be a singleton. It needs a hot press which I can’t do as I’m at our caravan and we don’t have an iron, caravanning not tending to need the sort of clothes that need ironing.
This was hard to knit with 1.5mm dpns in a set of five and quite dense wool. But I learnt some new techniques and I might use these in future designs.

That is lovely, well worth the effort! As a child in London I can remember wearing hand knitted gauntlet gloves, very plain navy wool, but they prevented the wind getting up your sleeves. I presume these wristlets would do the same job.
Were all the craft classes conducted in English?

I have been thinking about designing and knitting some gauntlet gloves… I think they would be quite striking and warm. Yes all the classes were in English which was perfect for me, as I don’t have any Northern European languages!

Oh, you are so brave! I did not continue these wristlets until now, other estonian lace projects captured my time ;=)
Enjoy your holiday!

They were quite quick to complete in the end … but now I have to return to the white and navy ones. Lovely to hear from you. Angharad

Very good to see the fruit of your labours. I too have a singleton wristwarmer, as I ran out of beads and the shop had also run out, permanently. However, I wear it as a bracelet. Black with gold beads, it goes well with almost anything on many occasions. And yours is quite striking–not to be hidden away, I hope. And as you say, a source of new techniques for other projects. Splendid!

I had’t thought of wearing it like that – so I’ll give it a try. Thanks!
