anna travels - iceland

I leave for Iceland tomorrow, and I am very excited! Among other things, Iceland has a rich knitting history and tradition. I hope to visit some yarn stores while I am there. The Fancy Tiger Crafts blog has a nice overview of yarn stores in Iceland.

I love Icelandic knitting designs. Here are some of my favorite examples:

Sweaters

Shoe inserts 
(pattern available in Icelandic Handknits: 25 Heirloom Techniques and Projects)

Icelandic stars and roses

Hopefully I will come back from Iceland with some new knitting inspiration!
