Here are some pictures of our Knitting on Ice tour this october. We saw sheep, bought a lot of yarn, went on a glacier walk, hiked to a hot river, spent some time in a turf house, knitted many sweaters, saw many waterfalls, Henrietta got a brand new lopapeysa and we saw Northern Lights! Next departure October 17-23, 2016!

A few of the sweaters we made: love how the same pattern leads to completly different results 🙂 The pattern is based on Bjarni’s sweater.

We even saw Northern lights one night! My phone couldn’t catch them but Caroline’s camera did.
