The last few projects have been fun but demanding. So for November I´m thinking a easy and fun project… socks!

I´m using leftover yarn from my stash:

Wonderful Soft Sock Twist from Vatnsnes Yarn that I used in my September project (colorway Urð og Grjót).

and

one of my favorite sock yarn Cascade bought in handprjon.is many years ago.

I´m pretty sure I might have to buy some more!

Ahh this wonderful yarn.  It´s so squishy, soft, purple and speckled…. and so out of my comfort zone.  I´m almost done…. just the neck left.  Can´t wait to try it on my wonderful model Vaka.

A funny story… me and Edda Lilja decided to design a sweater together me knitting and Edda crocheting… Somehow I managed stray off the design…. just a little…. ohh well.

I’m so excited about this next project. Me and Edda are doing the same design but I’m knitting and Edda is crocheting. This is so different from my regular design process but still really fun. 

We are working with an amazing indie dyer from Vatnses yarn. We are both working with a speckled sport yarn but in different colour ways. I was fairly late on the speckled wagon but boy is it fun to work with.

So I forgot to blog again!!! Progress is slow but steady. The shawl turned into a scarf. Ni sure how big it’s going to be. What is the ideal length of a scarf?

What a crazy month this has been. I’m moving, works been crazy, Reykjavík had its first yarn crawl (which was osom) and so knitting productivity has not been at its best. I am really loving the shawl process, and these Icelandic indie dyers are amazing.  My last colour from Vatnsnes Yarn came in the mail last week… and ohh boy is it amazing. I chose soft sock twist in the colorway “Urð og grjót”.  It´s soooo beautiful….

For September I am thinking about knitting a shawl using yarn from Icelandic indie yarn dyers. 

More info here.  Isn ´t my friend and model Vaka lovely?

The cardigan is coming along smoothly but boy can it be difficult to knit a thick Lopi  (not even lopi light) cardigan in August.  First of all, it´s not really portable because of the shear size and weight of it and second… it´s so so so warm. But soon it will be winter and I will be thankful that past Arndís was smart enough to knit a super warm cardigan BEFORE winter came.

…. and I can’t stop making cardigans! I just can’t stop! 

I can’t imagine going through this year without knitting a Lopi cardigan. I’m using 7mm knitting needles and plan Alafoss lopi with a intarsia twist. Can’t wait to show you guys more!

Finally I am able to publish February Fancy.  See link here.
