Last night, SL Knitting Guild hosted knitter and author Nancy Bush. My friend, blogless Sandy, and I had a lovely dinner out and then moseyed over to hear Nancy's talk. This very talented woman talked about Estonia, it's people and geography (and how the land is covered with lilac and lily of the valley), and mostly, about it's knitters. The focus of the evening was the lovely lace shawls knitted by the women there. Nancy had a marvelous trunk show of pieces she has been collecting since 1995 and her first trip to Estonia. She is working on a book due out next fall, and based on what we saw there, it will be full of fabulous patterns!
Nancy is offering an Estonian Lace Knitting class in Colorado next fall, and I'll bet it's worth every penny and fills up in a flash. Find more details at her site.
Blue skies!
And I think to myself, "what a wonderful world"
