A large number of 19th century mittens, gloves, and stoc\u00adkings have been knitted very finely. More pattern repeats could fit on the garment and the items also lasted longer. Muhu island and the Mulgi area stand out in Estonian knit\u00adting for their extremely fine gauges. Women\u2019s gloves from Muhu are commonly knitted with 112-128 stitches per round (28-32 stitches per needle), while men\u2019s gloves have 160 stitches per round (40 stitches per needle).<\/p>

Achieving such fine gauge is a true accomplishment for the modern knitter! True masters can change the gauge they produce. And you can do it!<\/p>

We are going to learn tips and tricks about tense knitting. A tiny Muhu fly will be knitted.\u00a0<\/p>

I am able to sit for many hours, even days in the museums and read the stories about the knitting heritage of our ancestors. I really enjoy these moments when I see the special sparkle in my students\u2019 eyes \u2013 knitting is the most inspiring hobby in the world!
