Inez is not sure of how many mitten with entrelac she's knitted, but estimates 60 pairs.

Inez was thought how to knit from her maternal great grandmother. Entrelac/näverstickning has associations to the Finn Foest where she grew up. This technique was brought over with the forest finns who emigrated to Sweden in the 17th century.
