The illustration for the Club this year is my beloved Hammer rose wallpaper which I created what seems ages ago. It is inspired by one of my favorite Icelandic shoe-insert in the National Museum of Iceland. It has followed me ever since, on my business cards and marketing material but also printed on fabric for my graduation collection ack in 2005! And of course knitted on my Hammer rose vest (from my book about shoe-insert but the single pattern is now also available as a PDF and updated with more sizes).
What you get:
- 4 yarn kits containing Icelandic yarns selected especially for the project: they could be a special or limited edition, plant-dyed, hand-dyed, handspun or a special colorway, or made from special Icelandic wool or sheep. I´m particularly happy this year with some of the yarns I managed to source from our local crafters because of their rarity! Each KIT contains enough yarn to complete the project at the suggested gauge. The amount of yarn per KIT will vary depending on the project and the yarn thickness. Also the Icelandic wool is very light ! The whole package weighs about 780 g.
- 4 knitting patterns created by Hélène Magnússon, accompanied by the story behind the making of the yarns for each project: where it comes from, what’s so special about it, who made it. The patterns will be exclusive to the club for 10 months after the release of each pattern. They will be essentially accessories (shawls, mittens, hats, etc…) or other relatively little projects (no sweaters). The patterns will be provided in the form of a PDF: you will receive a notification by email each time a new pattern is released and the PDF will be automatically set into your Icelandic Knitter account under Downloads where it will be indefinitely accessible.
