Back to work soon!


Summer holidays are coming to an end. I´ve been knititng a few more scarves in the car (when it´s Skúli who is driving!). I will put the pattern for sale on my website very soon. I will keep you updated.

Now, I´m preparing to move to a new house the day after tomorrow and am hoping to have installed the little family well enough before nest Tuesday because school starts plus I will be off to London the all week-end for the I Knit Day event the 6th of September. In the meantime I´m applying for grants for my next knitting book project while trying to make our current Icelandic guests as comfortable as possible!

Alpes



Well, we´re back from the Alpes . We made the Tour Ronde and crossed the Vallée blanche but we didn´t make it to the Mont Blanc because of the weather conditions (no visibility, wind): we went up Mont Tacule, then go back. Check out my gloves on the way up to the Tour Ronde! See more pictures here.

Packing


When packing for a trip in the mountains, there are a few musts such as anIcelandic sweater, two pairs of gloves and a good cap, all of then handknitted with Icelandic wool: light, warm, water repellant, it will never let you down. I added a mohair scarf just for the sake of it. And because it´s barely 40 gr.
