Hot Spring Knitting 2014 - The Icelandic Knitter (21)

Postcards from our Hot Spring Knitting Tour

Better late than never! Here are postcards from a fabulous knitting holiday this last spring with the fabulous ladies – and a gentleman! –  from Sheep Ahoy. The weather was… changing (every 5 minutes?) and we had an absolutely wonderful time!

“EVERYTHING was perfect. The guesthouse, food, hiking, knitting and most of all Helene. She is a terrific guide who taught us much about the Icelandic culture, land and traditions. Our knitting workshops were superb. We focused on garter intarsia. Learned a lot, challenged ourselves and loved every minute of it.”
