Ilga's Knitting World

From the entry 'How to Pronounce My Name'.

I saw Your name Ilga Leja on Ravelry and thought: it souds Latvian! and it is true!
I am Latvian too,grown up in Latgale but now live in Germany.
Beatutifull works!very Latvian-so calm and close to nature…
Lai veicas!

From the entry 'Could It Be...Felting?'.

Hmmm. You are making me a little nervous. Felting is something I will never do, except by accident (yes, already). Don’t get totally hooked on it!

From the entry 'In Love with Kauni'.

I do love the Kauni- and it is available at Fun Knits in BC. The owner has a blog of the same name, and is quite lovely to deal with as well.

Dear Ilga,

Congratulations on being named the recipient of the “2008 Outstanding Alumni Award” from the School of Information Management, Dalhousie University.  Knitters and librarians everywhere are feeling a bit prouder because of you! I hope you have a great celebratory evening, sorry I can’t be there to see you receive your award.

All the best,

Lynda
