your review of Estonian knitting books i...Dear Cat,<br />your review of Estonian knitting books is fantastic.<br /><br />I just want to clarify the situation with Pitsilised Koekirjad.<br /><br />I am the person behind widely known, but not the first one, attempt to have American edition of Pitsilised Koekirjad published.<br /><br />I organized a community effort to have all the swatches from the book to be re-knitted, in the same yarn, to the same gauge, several stitch and row repeats, etc. to have new photography done. I actually started to re-chart patterns in Interweave symbol system, and had Meg Swansen agree to publish the book. Unfortunately, there is one problem nobody managed to overcome - copy roght. The published of the book holds rights to the charts only and did not mind our publication of the book on the condition that we do not reuse their charts. But either I, nor Meg never get any written confirmation of this publisher position. They just plain do not answer e-mails. I learned it through the people I asked for the favor to visit the publisher in Tallinn. <br /><br />For the rest of the book the copy right belongs to the author of Pitsilised Koekirjad, Leili Reimann. Merike Saarniit contacted Leili Reiman on my behalf without any visible success. Unfortunately, I can't go to Estonia myself for family reasons. Later I met on the Internet a wonderful textile desiger and knitter from Estonia. I asked her to contact Leili about the book. And I had e-mail exchange with Leili Riemann. Unfortunately all communication stopped abrabtly after I described at Leili's request how I would like the book to be published - all new swatches in the same yarn and to the same gauge; all new photography; addition of more detailed technique chapter; addition of short DVD with demonstration of techniques done by Continental and English knitters; removing of outdated garmets ad addition of ew garment projects; in short - I wanted to bring the book to the contemporary American publishing stadards. After this Leili just stopped aswering my e-mail without any explanations. At first, I worried about her health, but my friend in Tallinn conatated her ans Leili is doing well. She just doesn't want to negotiate any chages in the contents and appearence of her book. <br /><br />After agonizing over this issue, two months ago I decided to put this project in the cold projects file. I did not know at the time about upcoming Haapsalu Sall book. I notified the people who helped me with the project about developments and my decision. I still keep all the swatches (I do not consider these swatches my personal property) just in case someone will be able to overcome the difficulties and publish Pitsilised Koekirjad. Then the collection of swatches and notes is readily available.<br /><br />I am sorry, but this is how the Pitsilised Koekirjad project stays right now.<br /><br />I was very exited when I got my copy of Haapsalu Sall. The book is fantastic! And such book on Estonian lace knitting is long overdue! The appearence of this book made me very happy!I can't help but think that all my efforts in having Pitsilised Koekirjad translation published played some invisible role in the appearence of Haapsalu Sall book. Who knows...<br /><br />Best,<br />Faina LetoutchaiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400989240198251128.post-58373460522774102322009-08-03T21:45:38.798-04:002009-08-03T21:45:38.798-04:00I too have the first and the third books - and abs...I too have the first and the third books - and absolutely treasure them. The Pitsilised that I have must be older than yours - 1978 - so finished project pictures in the back - but very useful none the less. Can you believe I recently traded a pair of Addi turbos for the book? How cool is that? The Haapsalu Sall is VERY well done!Bevhttp://landolace.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400989240198251128.post-88536658297929860882009-08-02T18:43:12.565-04:002009-08-02T18:43:12.565-04:00I love those books.
