I bought the book as a throwback to an Iceland holiday 4 years ago, in which I had visited also mentioned in the book handicraft museum in Blönduos. The described historical background and the biography of the founder were new to me. Much of the book Mentioned Shown and brought me to visit again to mind. The different knit designs are building on Icelandic traditions and look very authentic, fits to the beautiful photographs. Extra Sweet are the Icelandic recipes.
