Winter is coming. Not that it ever really left, but winter is inargu-
ably the best time to start knitting. At Knitting Iceland you can
meet other dedicated knitters, get inspired, and knit-away like
there’s no tomorrow. Go street and make knitted street art and
make Reykjavík extra crazy and woolly this winter. That, or just
prepare yourself with warm clothes and accessories for the com-
ing season. With the shitty summer we’ve had, you can use all the
warmth you can get. AKL
