I love visiting the Álafoss factory store in Mosfellsbær (about 20 minutes from down town Reykjavík). I go there quite often because I’m a knitting tour guide!!!! And yes, I love my job.

Ram Love
There I am smooching Marteinn the ram. He’s a very sexy boy… He lives about an hour outside Reykjavík with my good friends Rita and Páll and a small flock of sheep ladies. I guess Marteinn likes my Patchouli scent. Photo by my friend Heather Flanagan. Thanks for a great day tour Heather!

I might need one of these
The other side is zebra print and the top and sides are blue suede. Of course I found this one at Steven Be’s in Minneapolis, where, by the way, I’ll be teaching a few classes during the Fantastic Fiber Fest between April 22nd and May 1st.

My genius cousin
… is in fact a fabulous and artistic photographer. The piece she so proudly displays is made from 130% exquisite acrylic that will for sure survive a nuclear holocaust. On the photo below you can see the lustrous acrylic posed next to two balls of lush and ever so elegant eyelash yarn in crisp white and brown. If she wasn’t married already I would for sure recommend that she continue working the piece into a top down wedding dress! However she tells me she is now done with her knitting career.

Window shopping
Maybe not the optimal conditions for photographing this window… BUT, How amazing is this? Old sewing machines and lots of them! The store looked fab but the people were not all that friendly… maybe my scruffy sneakers!?!?
