When we were in Iceland in November we stopped in at a yarn shop and both picked out some wool and took photos of Icelandic sweater patterns we liked. Once home I combined the yarn with the colourwork patterns and now we have our very own Icelandic wool socks! So warm!

My husband requested a repair to his running hat. Result = 2 knits that flew off the needles. Fjord hat by Saskie&co using Kambgarn &, Jacques Cousteau Hat by Lalla Pohjanpalo using Rico Design Creative Melange Aran Wonderball colourway 18.

A man models a garter stitch vest with a diagonal pointing from the underarm to the front corner of the open front.
A man leans toward the camera to show the blue i-cord join traveling from shpulder to shoulder across the back.
The oatmeal colored vest is folded forward to show where the collar will be joined to the back at the shoulders.
An L-shaped piece of knitted garter stitch fabric shows the angled line at the front corner where the direction of the knitting turned. A partial plate of unspun Icelandic wool and skein of silk mohair yarn reveal the composition of the heathered fabric
First project of the year completed, first EZ Ribwarmer, first garment made with Icelandic wool, and my first full project held double with silk mohair yarn.
It's #ShowMeYourKnits Firsts week!

Thursday’s Raw fleece to knitted beanie: Icelandic wool. 🐑🧶❤️ #textileartisan #slowfashion #wool #knitting #rawfleece #alabamawool #icelandicwool
A photo of me in the mirror. The phone is covering my face, you can see neck to calf. I have blue jeans on and a primarily black icelandic wool zip sweater hoodie with a pink/red/maroon/grey decoration band across the chest and upper arms and then a smaller - pink and grey only - design band at the waist and wrist. Is it still called a selfie if you're camera isn't flipped?
I bought this sweater for my sister years ago and she recently gave it back to me. Wasn't I a nice person? 😜😳🤓🤪😁🥰🥰🥰

Can't continue knitting on the socks as visiting my Bestie. So cast on some #colourworkmittens.

The weather is above freezing, I saw Snowdrops in bloom, and it’s starting to feel like Spring 🌷 Even if it’s just a tease, I’ll take it. #irises #knitting #icelandicwool

When knitting, I have this habit of putting a marker on a stitch in the morning so I can follow how much I knit during the day. Other marker is every 10cm to see how much more I need. This keeps me some what sane on the way 😅 #knitting #knit #sweater #icelandicsweater #léttlopi #icelandicwool
Photo of the left side of a cherry wood Jensen Tina 2 castle style spinning wheel. In front of the wheel itself is the attached lazy kate. It is holding 2 bobbins of spun brown wool single. In the background is a bookshelf with various books. The only readable titles are: The French Bulldog, Semper Fi and USMC. There is also a Forky that can be seen between the wheels spokes.
I'm also spinning a large project for a friend of Icelandic wool. This is going to be a single, so these are resting before I wash and skein them. #icelandicwool #handspinning #handspun #spinningwool
A tag with a picture of a white and black sheep that reads, "Arwen - Purebred Icelandic ewe - born 5/13/2021", next to a bag of her wool roving.
Every roving order comes with a spinners information tag, which includes a picture of the sheep and their birthday! I love personalizing our roving and tags so that those working with my fiber can put a face and a name to the wool! 🐑❤️🐑❤️🐑 #IcelandicWool #IcelandicSheep

Asking those who have done it before me: how do you usually process Icelandic? I have the idea to make lopi, but am hesitant to use my 108 tpi drumcarder on loan

So I like it. It’s very light and warm, look forward to wearing it in the winter!
