How they knit in Iceland

Or at least how this guy does...

Some favourite materials

Last year, while in Iceland, I discovered Plötulopi.  It is an unspun yearn made from Icelandic sheep wool.  It's soft warm and light, but as it is unspun it can break with the slightest tug so you have to be careful knitting it, but it's worth the risk.
