The recent four day Easter break was good to me, and I finished my Icelandic cardigan! Even though it's 100% wool, and not really the time to be wearing wool, I'm enjoying it as a Spring jacket.
The pattern is Icelandic Star, by Sarah Hoadley (
Ravelry link). It was quick to knit, easy to put together, and even ok to
block! Overall, it was the minimally frustrating experience I needed. Did I tell you I recently finished a 4ply sweater and it was such a disaster I threw the whole thing out? Like I said, I needed this.
The reason I chose the pattern was for the embroidery. My 98 year-old grandmother has some embroidered cardigans from
way back, and I really like the way they look.
I wore it all weekend. And it was a great complement to some watercolor painting in Regeant's Park.

It's gorgeous and looks great on you. Love the colors. I might have to give this one a try
yarns. Many small companies also offer handpainted and naturally dyed yarns for vegans as well. Villalanka
