Dear Friends,

On Thursday, 10th Nov., I travelled up to Tallinn for the day to visit the event known as "Mardilaat" which is an annual Handwork & Crafts Fair. It had been three years since I had visited this event, so I was wondering if there was anything new this year.

I was able to greet other lacemakers whom I knew from Pärnu, Narva, & Tallinn as well as a few from Tartu. The highlight for me was meeting 2 ladies from The Netherlands who have recently published their first knitting book titled "Warme Handen/Warm Hands" based on Estonian knitting patterns & techniques. I was informed that the English translation was done by a young Australian man who is also a knitter & is one of the models.

I also bought a bobbin lace ornament from a Slovakian lacemaker who was visiting Tallinn.
I've posted a few photos in my Webshots album.
Enjoy the up coming week,
Pene
