These are so beautiful. I love the combination of colourwork and lace at the cuff and the butterfly motif, not to mention the fact that they are toasty warm.
Of course eventually they will wear out but when they do I can knit my own pair of Estonian mittens from this amazing book.
All the text is in Estonian but since the book doesn't actually contain any patterns, just photos and charts, that's not a problem.
I love the fact that Estonian mitten patterns just consist of the chart, it's assumed that everyone already knows how to knit a mitten.

Those mittens are so beautiful! What a wonderful piece of Estonia to carry with you (and wear).
My mother-in-law brought me lovely blue wool from Estonia, but I haven't turned it into anything yet.
Oh my goodness! Those mittens are gorgeous!! :)
