Kindred Knits: Patterns from My Estonian Family Archives by Aleks Byrd is a warm and inspiring collection of 15 designs—four sweaters, four cardigans, one vest, one shawl, two hats, one pair of socks, one pair of slippers and one pair of mittens—rooted in her family’s heritage. Drawing from the sketchbooks of her grandmother Hilja and heirloom crafts passed down through generations, Aleks brings us textured knits that blend lace, cables, colourwork and the traditional Estonian inlay method, roosimine. Each piece feels like a meeting point between past and present: contemporary in style yet deeply tied to tradition.

We are especially happy to share that two of the patterns, the Orav Hat and the Orav Vest, were designed using Les Garçons’ British DK base, in the “Aleks’s Red Squirrel Friend” colourway. We are eager to knit them and delighted to see our yarn featured in such a meaningful book written by a dear friend.

Aleks Byrd is an illustrator and knitwear designer with Estonian, Canadian and American roots. She is particularly well-known as a moderniser of Estonian knitting traditions. Aleks has introduced techniques such as roosimine and vikkel to knitters around the world. Kindred Knits is her second knitting book: her innovative debut, Traditions Revisited, was published by Laine Publishing in 2022. 

Kindred Knits: Patterns from My Estonian Family Archives is printed in Latvia.

    Fancy enough for a wedding, easy enough for a backyard party
    Color: Gold, Color: Gold
    I picked up this 300 Pack Premium Heavy Duty Gold Plastic Silverware set for a recent gathering, and honestly it worked out better than I expected. When you’re hosting a larger group, the last thing you want to worry about is running out of utensils or washing a mountain of dishes afterward, and this set definitely helped with that. First off, the 300-piece set is really convenient. You get 100 forks, 100 spoons, and 100 knives, which made it easy to plan for about 100 guests without having to buy multiple packs. Everything arrived neatly organized in a clear storage box, which actually made it super easy to keep things tidy until party time. The gold metallic finish is surprisingly nice. It gave the table a more polished, elegant look than standard plastic cutlery. I used them for a semi-formal dinner setup, and they blended in well with the decorations instead of looking cheap or out of place. As for durability, they’re definitely heavier than typical disposable utensils. The forks handled pasta and salads just fine, and the knives worked well for softer foods like chicken and cake. They’re not quite the same as real metal silverware, of course, but for plastic they’re pretty sturdy and didn’t snap or bend easily. I also appreciated that they’re BPA-free and disposable, which made cleanup incredibly simple once everything wrapped up. The only small downside is that if you’re cutting tougher foods like steak, you might notice the knives aren’t quite strong enough for that. But for most party foods, buffets, and desserts, they work perfectly well. Overall, this is a great option for parties, weddings, or large dinners when you want something that looks nicer than basic plastic but still want the convenience of disposable utensils. I’d definitely use them again for future events.

    Amazing value, looks great - quite durable
    Color: Gold
    I recently hosted a large dinner party and decided to go with the 300 Pack Premium Heavy Duty Gold Plastic Silverware. Let me tell you, it was a great choice! First off, the set comes with 100 forks, spoons, and knives, which was perfect for my guest list of 100. I love that it’s all in one package, so I didn’t have to stress about running out of cutlery during the event. The heavy-duty plastic feels surprisingly sturdy, and I didn’t have a single fork bend or break, even with the heartier dishes I served. The gold metallic finish added such an elegant touch to the table setting. My guests complimented how fancy it looked for disposable cutlery! It really elevated the overall vibe of the dinner without the hassle of using real silverware or worrying about cleanup. After the meals, all I had to do was toss everything into the trash, which saved me a ton of time and effort. Another thing I appreciated was the organized storage box. It kept everything neat and clean until I was ready to use it, which is a bonus if you're planning an event. All in all, I highly recommend this set for anyone hosting gatherings. It combines functionality with a stylish appearance, making cleanup a breeze while still impressing your guests.

    Slight odor, more flexible than I expected
    Color: Gold, Color: Gold
    These looked like they were going to be heavy duty, but they were more flexible than I expected (see video clip). They probably still will work well, but if you’re poking your fork into something stiff, expect that the fork might bend some. There was a slight chemical odor when I opened the package, and I’m not a fan of that. As someone with MCS, I have to avoid exposure to fragrances and other harmful chemicals, and it makes me wonder what these are coated with. The gold might be cute for the aesthetic you’re going for with a particular gathering or party, but I find it unnecessary. I would rather go with the real heavy duty ones that are clear plastic from a club warehouse rather than these gold ones. I feel that these are overpriced for the quality, but not a bad price if all you’re going for is the gold aesthetic.

    Nice, high end look, disposable
    Color: Gold, Color: Gold
    I hate to spend a lot of money on something that's just going to be thrown away, so typically buy dollar store disposable silverware for parties and gatherings. But every once in a while, you want something more upscale or high end looking. Enter this pricy but pretty plastic silverware. It is perfect for a wedding, anniversary, shower or other event where you want a nicer look instead of basic. It is sturdy. You won't have to worry about it breaking as someone spears a bite of chicken. It looks great! There's only so much you can do with plastic ware but for what it is, it looks really nice.
