Notes

Started a sweater for my recently acquired husband: A traditional Icelandic sweater in mossy-colored lopi. It really sped along, and the knitting itself took about a week. This is my first project with steeking and instructions in Icelandic, so I am pretty proud of how well it turned out.

My DH is tall and slim, so the size is a custom one: I cast on for a size small sweater, and intend to use the length measurements for one in xxl.
