Craft: Knitting
This pattern is available on Ravelry.
Wrist warmers using the Latvian Braid technique. The pattern is engineered for Urth Uneek striped yarn.
A skein of Urth Yarns Harvest fingering and Uneek fingering is needed, and you have enough yarn to knit two pairs of boot cuffs, or a set of Austra’s wrist warmers and boot cuffs.
Latvian mitten patterns are knit in mirror images, this indicates quality. You can wear your wrist warmers on either hand, so you can either bring energy into yourself, or give it out depending on how you wear them.
Austra’s tree is the tree of life, it is the sunrise with the morning star at its center. Austra’s tree grows both up to the heavens and down towards earth. Energy and ideas from the cosmos come to us as dreams, ideas, intuition and inspiration. Energy rises from the earth up to the cosmos when we use our hands, voices, minds to give existence to these gifts we receive. My friends blow air kisses to the universe when these gifts come unexpectedly. Always say thank you.
