Icelandic wool is very flexible. Once your sweater is finished you should let the air out by immersing it in cold water (30 degrees maximum), gently wring it out and put it in the right shape. Then let it dry. This can take several days.

I just finished my sixth sweater 🙃

Sometimes the smallest things can give you the biggest realisations. I started these socks a full year ago as a "quick project" and I've only just finished them. I guess I have been pretty busy. How long is it acceptable to pretend it's "busier than normal" before admitting that "busy is normal"?

Secondary realisation, #PureWool chunky socks are much better than my worn out slippers, layered thin socks or any other combination of things I've been wearing all winter. I must take a lesson from the ancestors and just wear my #VikingReenactment kit more often. Literally couldn't feel the cold tiles at all through these beauties.
