In early December, had a work asignment in the eastern part of my non-descript, where’s-the-hell-that, middle-of-nowhere country. It was like right out of Purcell’s King Arthur: do see the photos & listen to the music.
Going on another work assignment to the Carpathians soon, needed a little something for a most adorable colleague of mine - Olesya, so here is a rendition of the wonderful day & the wonderful music in knitting.

In my very early days of knitting (well back in the previous century ;D), my mentor told that in even older days Latvian knitters would include a pattern on the inner brim of mittens: for the addressee’s private use so to say. Have been doing that since. It is always there, just I keep forgetting to photograph that. With this cap I did not. ;)
