Attention, mitten knitters.
Have I got a link for you!
Habetrot posted in her blog about the 2006 NATO Summit in Riga, Latvia, where 300 knitters were enlisted to knit 4500 pairs of mittens for NATO delegates and the media.
This is the direct link to the Latvian Mittens gallery.

It's like getting lost in the coolest pictures I've every seen. Love it.
ever seen, that is.
WOW! There is some inspiration!!!!!!!
thank YOU for sharing! I was beginning to brainstorm about some stitch patterns for my mittens...looking through that gallery really helped.
That is amazing.
So many possibilities, I am inspired!
thanks for the links - the posts/pictures were great.
15 pairs per knitter? that's it -- i hereby formally give up stressing about finishing one pair of socks and a stole by monday.
Is the knitalong still happening? It's been almost a month since the last post.
Does twined as well as stranded count?

Lovely mittens. But I have to confess I thought their ceremonial gifts should have been collected back up and given to those in need :)
As a proud member of "Stranded without a Compass" I've started my second Stranded pair of socks. (Found a compass but don't know how to use it!)
I'm on my way to Estonia with directions from Nancy Bush. (Folk Knitting in Estonia) Laila socks under way.
Note to self: stop holding the map upside down! ;)
