October 31- November 3, 2019: The Icelandic Lopapeysa

We all gathered on Halloween for the welcome dinner.  The house was decorated and some of us dressed for the occasion!

Kelly made yummy appetizers!

 

 

Here is the wonderful class who worked so tirelessly, including our massage therapist, Melissa!  And the products of their efforts are at right, below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The beloved Icelandic yoked sweater made of Lopi yarn was the focus of this retreat.  The Lopapeysa samplers were worked from the bottom up, and included patterning at the cuffs and sweater bottom as well as in the circular yoke.  Many opted to create short row shaping for the neckline as well.

These are some of the beautiful mittens made at this retreat:
