March is Icelandic Wool Month!

We have been inspired by the history and traditions of Icelandic Knitting for... ever! And to fulfill a long-time dream, Anna and her husband have booked a trip to visit Iceland in March and will be sending us their beautiful images during their travels to let us imagine that we are visiting the Nordic Island along with them.

Back here at home, we'll join in the fun with guest blog posts by Dianna Walla, Cirilia Rose and Kathy Cadigan, who will share their own Icelandic adventures and inspiration. We'll also have an Icelandic Knit-A-Long (you choose any pattern you'd like, but make sure you are knitting with Icelandic wool, such as Léttlopi, Plötulopi or Álafosslopi).

Some of us will be knitting up: Moon Pulls and the brand new companion pattern, Moon Sprites, by Dianna Walla, Nordic Wind by cabinfour, Reyka Pullover by Cirilia Rose and Strokkur Sweater by Ysolda Teague.

To follow along and participate, please visit our Instagram account @toltyarnandwool and make sure you tag your photos with #tolticelandicwoolmonth.
