Estonian Silk Mitten
2017
$275
1/2" x 3/8"
 
These tiny Silk Mittens have 2 braids-the first one is cast on at the bottom of the cuff and the second one divides the cuff from the hand. The snowflake and design is typical of Estonian patterns. 
 
To create my knitted pieces, I design my own original patterns and then use my own hand-made knitting needles that I make from surgical stainless steel.  I use fine cotton or silk thread to knit with.  If there are buttons on the piece, they work.  If there are pockets, they are real.  Socks have turned heels, gloves have fingers so small they are too big for a grain of rice. Every aspect of my work is meant to be as real as possible.  Please feel free to email me at altheacr@gmail.com with any further questions.
