Downloadable Pattern: Knit Ideal Icelandic Sweater Reviewed by Sue Berneman on 2010-01-15 ****
I love this sweater! I did change up the colors and had fun with it. The first one was so great that I made a second one and substituted out the fun fur and kept going with the homespun and doing a k1,p1 for wrists and neck. I'm almost done with my 3rd sweater in less than 2 months! (All this and I work full time so it's just evening knitting!)
