I have already made two Icelandic wool sweaters but have not sewed it up in the front and finished it. That is on my list today, and I will be taking pictures of it when it is finished. They are very pretty and one is made for my Amelia, and the other is for the store that my friend owns and she has asked me to make some to sell. Guess what, that is a yarn store here in town (the only one) and that is where we mead almost every day to knit and chat. Nice is it not. That is the reason I have so much yarn I think. ;)
Anyway in my bag now is a blanket that I need to finish. I am almost done with it , but it needs a few rows more. That was supposed to be a Christmas present for my grandson Diamond, but his mamma wanted a quilt in stead. That made me put the blanket away, and I decided to finish it after Christmas. So now is as good of a time as any time to finish this. But I have to tell you that his mamma was pretty upset with me for listening to her. She likes this so much and thought that I shut not have listened to her. That blanket is made of Icelandic wool that is called létt lopi. His favorite colors are green and I like brown with green so that is what I put with to give it some interest.
The other day I went to Reykjavik to meed up with Birgitta and Gabriel. We had a blast shopping, talking and just having fun. I got some material for a project that I am going to be making. It is a rabbit that is called "miss Maggie" I got the pattern from the side that is called "Posie gets cosie" and is one the sidebar on my blog. I still don't know how to put a link on that Blogsy that I am using. So bear with me. Anyway you should really check out that blog, she has a really special blog.
That is enough for now
Hugs
Ps. I just figured it out how to link. ;)
