gleðilegt sumar!! it’s sumardagurinn fyrsti, the first day of summer in the old Icelandic calendar (which only had two seasons), and it’s -2.7°C at my house — apparently if winter and summer "freeze together" like this, it bodes well for a good summer!

in other knitting news, i’ve finished my low-contrast Candelariella pullover, designed by the fabulously talented Teti Lutsak, and i could not love it more! the sweater is light and elegant and just so perfect!

the serendipity of a straight-down snowfall caught in the branches, on a day when the rest of the island was being blasted with blizzards and hurricane-force winds... (from last week)
