I can knit and crochet. Make blankets, hats. Mittens, sweaters. My mom put knitting needles in my hand at a very early age! I saved money making my children’s things. I am Scandinavian. Knitting / crocheting is in our blood.

For sure if I was to ever visit Iceland I would try my best to visit this shop. The store manager was brilliant with being so forthcoming with all the knowledge 🙏🙏🙏 many thanks for a great episode.

I knew you were going back when I didn’t see any yarn with your first purchase. I just couldn’t imagine not getting some to create something extraordinary with.
