Ilmunud on minu teine raamat, mis peaks lähiajal ka poodidesse jõudma. Seekordne väljaanne on hoopis teisest puust kui eelmine ja selle lugemine pole tõenäoliselt ka nii lihtne ajaviide, vaid kannab endas rahvusliku käsitöö osakonna teadussarja Studia Vernacula väärilist tõsist akadeemilist vaimu. Teos põhineb minu magistritööl, olles läbinud põhjaliku värskendus- ja toimetuskuuri (toimetaja oli Kadri Tüür). Kauni kujunduse autorid Kristjan Mändmaa ja Moonika Maidre. Tegelikult saab raamatut võtta ka kahe eraldi osana: esimene kirjeldab riietuse uurimise meetodeid ja teine rakendab neid Kihnu körtide ajaloole ja analüüsile, mis on kindlasti kõvasti jõukohasem ja huvitavam lugemine. Teksti ilmestavad 69 muuseumi- ja välitöödel pildistatud fotot ning ridamisi Kihnu naiste antud ütlusi-meenutusi. Mul on hea meel, et sain võimaluse anda Kihnust ja Eesti Rahva Muuseumist korjatud rikkaliku materjali kihnlastele selle väljaande kujul tagasi. See ei olnud sugugi lihtne ettevõtmine (rahade taotlemine, tähtaegade püstitamine kogu meeskonna jaoks ja nendest kinnipidamine), kuid seda rohkem on põhjust rahul olla. Meelega ei hakka ma siinkohal teost ümber jutustama, vaid loodan, et võtate selle lugemise ise ette. This book on traditional skirts from Kihnu Island is based on my MA thesis defended at the Department of Semiotics of the University of Tartu in 2008. The dissertation has been revised for the purposes of publication. The book is divided into two parts. The first part introduces earlier work by authors who have discussed semiotics of clothing, while the second part focuses on the history and current status of Kihnu skirts, assessing the empirical facts while proceeding from the theoretical premises outlined in the first part of the book. Kihnu Island is a special place in the Estonian context. Women belonging to the older generation continue to wear traditional clothes and several archaic customs are still practised. An important part of the traditional outfit of Kihnu women is a bright striped skirt called kört. These skirts have a long and interesting history and the book sets out to provide a thorough overview of it. The traditional skirts are used to manifest stages in Kihnu women’s lives, each of which can be regarded as a symbolic entity. Passage from one stage to another is enacted by means of particular rituals. Although the tradition of making and wearing Kihnu skirts currently stays alive mostly thanks to the older generation of women, kört has remained one of the most important symbols of Kihnu identity. In the rest of Estonia, wearing traditional clothing on a daily basis disappeared from people’s everyday life already at the beginning of the 20th century, yet on Kihnu, this custom has been preserved. Evidently, geographical isolation and a strong sense of community have facilitated the survival of the island’s intangible heritage, including its traditional clothing and dialect. The book is in Estonian and has English summary.

ERM A 509:2709 Modell: Ruudi, kes muudkui siples:) Muuseumis asuvate Kihnu originaalide tänapäevased kohandused - lõng tsipake jämedam, aga värvid sarnased. Kiri vist ka pisut erinev, sest ma ei hakanud pisifoto pealt luubiga ajama, vaid valisin Kihnu Roosi raamatust sarnase mustri. Vahelduseks oli väga mõnus kopeerida:) Muidugi ei olnud mul päris madarapunast, potisinist ja kaseleherohelist (või kes teab, millega see kollakas toon saadud oli), aga ikkagi on võrdlemisi täpsed. Ja mis veel: et nad tänapäeval seal Kihnus enam tumesinist kinnastesse ei koo, siis said need kindad täitsa vanamoodsad - sellised nagu olid moes 20. sajandi algul. Aga mulle on potisinisega Kihnud alati palju rohkem meeldinud. Mustaga ma keeldun kudumast:) Nii et tellijal on valida: kui tahab tänapäevast, siis ostku kihnlastelt, kui vanamoodsat sinist, siis minult:) These are the copies of the original Kihnu gloves from Estonian National Museum. The authentic yarns were presumably indigo, northern bedstraw and birch leaves but I had chemically dyed yarns of course. In nowadays they don't knit blue into Kihnu gloves but black. As I really love the oldfashioned indigo-gloves more I therefore never use black.
