9000 mittens????

December 22nd, 2006 · 1 Comment

What will 9,000 hands have in common during the NATO Summit in Riga this November? 4,500 pairs of traditional hand-made Latvians mittens!
That’s what the NATO Summit Latvia Task Force has prepared for Summit guests. The mittens were specially knitted by hundreds of women and men around the country ranging in age from 30 to 86.

That is really cool.

I hope everyone has a happy holiday season. I’m headed out now to pick up the man type person, drop off the boys, and head to Austin for the Trans Siberian concert. I’ll be back home Sunday for Xmas eve with my kiddos and I’m sure I’ll post something about the concert then.
