Περιγραφή:

Koniakow, a village in the Beskid mountain range in the South-West of Poland, situated right by the meeting point of Poland’s borders with the Czech Republic and Slovakia, is the home of a regional speciality nowadays famous the world over. The skilled crochet hook operators apply their imagination and sense of beauty and choose from a series of some 2200 patterns to convey the world that surrounds them. Gasiorki (duckies), strupki (crusties), skrzydelka (little wings), kaczence (buttercups), and niezapominajki (forget-me-nots) - these are all names of the various stiches that build up whole works of art, both big and small. There are delicate and ornate napkins, crocheted coifs, white and creamy little round roses, liturgical lace, and caps. There are also items dictated by fashion and the market’s needs - collars, gloves, cupboard covers, wedding gowns, as well as earrings, cuff links, lampshades and screens.
