Hahaaaa

One (at least, I) cannot be in Iceland more than two days without buying any of the fabulous Icelandic wool, aka lopi.

It is declined in several types, létt-lopi álafoss lopi, bulky lopi and so on...

Here is the icelandic wool website. If you check it out properly, you'll see there are free patterns available in the menu on the left, yay! :o)

Having stupidly forgotten to bring something to cover my head with, I was forced to go to the wool shop (anyone who says it sounds like the lamest excuse... :P ) and so I bought a nice ball of red álafoss lopi to knit myself a hat..

It is supposed to be with cables, which is fine, except I can't count and I don't have a pattern, so I wildly improvised. So far it fits, but there are 4 stitches missing to make it symmetrical.

Well too bad, it'll be my... *oh hell, what's that japanese word expressing a mistake in a piece of artwork put in there on purpose by the artist as a personal touch and so as not to offend the gods?*
Yeah, that one... :o)
