Blocking my first Latvian braid on these #bonniejeanmitts in the bright warm sunshine today. Made with #lettlopiyarn for when winter returns. . #merinastrand #loppiyarn #lettlopi #icelandicwool #icelandlove #fairisleknitting #fairislefriday #fairisle #knitting #knittersofinstagram #knittersofravelry #mitts #wooliswarmest https://www.instagram.com/p/CB5iB1UJAje/?igshid=vksuldgwbmcy

Time for coziness and knitting my Icelandic sweater.

Woohoo❤️❤️ My Oraefi is off my needles, it still needs to be blocked but I love it! Want to knit one too? Kits are available! #localyarnshop #windsoressex #knittersofinstagram #knittinglove #icelandicwool #lettlopi #winterknits #sue2knits (at Sue2Knits and Yarn)

Beginning the body of the Alasuq Polar by Linka Neumann, the photo doesn't begin to do the colors justice. I am in love with this colorway. Buttttttt, sidenote, knitting with Alafoss Lopi feels like someone sheered wool from a Scotchbrite/Brillo pad sheep. It is so incredibly scratchy right now

Absolutely nightmarish sleeve on the Alasuq Polar, only because I cannot find 6.5 mm DPNs anywhere. Now that I am past the first colorwork chart, my life has improved drastically. Just cannot fathom doing this again for the other sleeve.

Skipped a few updates, here is the finished Alasuq Polar from Linka Neumann
