2022 Year Wrap up
I hope you all had a nice few days and that those who celebrate had a cosy holiday. I had meant to write a grand finale to my year in crafts here on the blog, but my household caught the sneeze and the last few […]
Hazel Afmaeli Yoke
For the final project I’ll share this year, I want to show you this autumnal lopapeysa. This jumper has been finished for a while, patiently waiting for a day when it finally was cold enough and the idea of wearing an Icelandic jumper didn’t seem […]
