Icelandic knit sweaters – wow!

I know I’m a quilter and I should be posting links to more quilts and patterns   BUT look at the sweaters at the following link – what a great knitter she is.  This lady is from Iceland and knows what cold weather is all about.  Her name is Berglind Snaeland and here is her link. I just wanted to share this as I am really envious.  I would love to be able to knit sweaters and socks and whatever but have never learned how (and of course in Arkansas I really do not need them that heavy!).  That is going to change soon I hope.  In October when things get settled down from a traveling September I want to take knitting lessons at a little shop in my area.  I just hope the recession won’t hit their small store before I have a chance to do it and learn it well.  We have never seemed to have a knitting store stay in business long in our area.   I would love to learn how to knit a sweater – nothing too heavy of course or I would be too hot but a nice medium weight yarn would work well I think.

I know I have seen a lot of quilting blogs where there is knitting featured also but I just saw this one the other day and wanted to share it.

I have gotten one more block done on the “Insanity Revisited” quilt Block G-13 and have the 7th row now pinned to the 6th row and will start sewing it together later this evening and the body of the quilt will be half way finished.

On the “Insanity” quilt I only got one block done on that one and part of the block next to it.  This one is J-10.  It was done using reverse applique and it was a pain in the butt doing it I recall!
