Notes

I was traveling in Iceland back in May 2011, and picked up a few Lopi books and some yarn. Was really excited to knit an Icelandic pattern, with Icelandic wool. The best souvenir, if you will!

Anyways, I wanted something a little more light than the 3-strand lopapeysa I also ended up purchasing so I knit the body in the pattern of Gola (Lopi book 30) and then knit the cowl in the pattern of Eyja. All in all, really pleased with the results - love the color too!
