Icelandic hat

Instructions at Novita

Needles: 4
Yarn: Novita 7 Veljestä, colours natural white, lime green, orange, fuchsia pink

Icelandic pullover: days 11-13

C'e l'ho fatto! And it's soooooo pretty :)

Icelandic pullover: days 8-10

It's getting there :)

Icelandic pullover: days 6 & 7

Ha! On average it takes me two evenings (after work) to finish a sleeve. Luckily now it's the weekend so I can start the collar :) But first it's maths time. Since I adjusted the size of the shirt, I will have to make sure the pattern fits.

Icelandic pullover: days 4 & 5

First sleeve done :) I absolutely love knitting the sleeves this way (5 sticks or round sticks) - less sewing of seams in the end!

Icelandic pullover: days 2 & 3

Now the bottom front+back part is ready! Height 40 cm. Next come the sleeves :)

Icelandic pullover: day 1

Thought of posting my progress with an Icelandic pullover, day by day.

Here is the end result of the first day:



The model is the classical Icelandic Lopi pullover, but the colours are more bright and yarn is thinner

Yarn: Novita 7 Veljestä, colours natural white, lime green, orange, fuchsia pink

Shopping bag/ Ostoskassi/ Bevásárlótáska

Cable socks / Palmikkosukat / Fonott zokni

Another pair of cable socks
Female size 39

Needles 4

The pattern is a modified version of Paraphenialia sock whose instructions were in Finnish and English at Ravelry.

Marskogens wool from Aland Islands (100% wool) 60g, needles 3.5

Alpaca wool socks/ Alpakanvillaiset sukat / Zokni alpakagyapjúból

Now these are quite luxurious woolly socks, if I may say so. This alpaca wool yarn is extremely nice to work with. It's also very soft and warm. Gotta get some more!



Unisex, size 40
Yarn: Novita Luxus Alpaca (100% alpaca wool) 90g, needles 3.5

The pattern is a modified version of Paraphenialia sock whose instructions were in Finnish and English at Ravelry.

Cable gloves / Palmikkolapaset / Fonott kesztű

May I present my new gloves! The pattern is a modified version of Paraphenialia sock whose instructions were in Finnish and English at Ravelry. I made an extra long sleeve so that my wrists do not freeze during winter cycling :)


Close-up of the pattern

Yarn: Austermann Bambou Soft (65% merino wool, 35% bamboo) 120g, needles 4

Colourful socks / Värikkäät sukat / Színes zokni

This is what happens when you have several little balls of the same yarn :D The trick with these socks is that the colour scheme is reversed.

Update: 12x17 pieces - now I have literally ran out of thread-ends! Luckily I was promised some more colourful little balls of yarn next week :)

As with all human action, I ended up with a pattern even though I tried to randomise the pieces. I see a clock-wise, widening, circular pattern evolving, starting from the black and brown piece.
