Fáhcat mat savkkástallet / The Mittens That Whisper
What can a pair of old mittens tell us? When the girl Gáhte finds the mittens in a patterned giisá, a path into the past opens up. She follows the stories of people who lived before her and discovers how her family's history lives on in the things their hands have created.
Fáhcat mat savkkástallet / The Mittens That Whisper is a children's book by Anna Nutti, who lives here in Jokkmokk. The book is written in parallel text in Swedish and Northern Sámi. A story about curiosity, belonging and knowledge passed down through generations. And about the magic that can be hidden in something as ordinary as a pair of mittens.
Knit the mittens from the book!
For us at Stoorstålka, it's especially fun to recognize the red-background Jukkasjärvi mitten in the book. If you'd like to knit your own pair, we have a knitting kit for the Red-background Jukkasjärvi mittens with yarn and a knitting pattern.
A lovely book to read together and let the conversations continue about family memories, craft and the things we want to pass on.
