Thank you Carolyn, yes sure - but I'm selling them to tourists who visit Iceland..... lol
Oh my, I would love one! However I'd have to stay forever in Iceland in order to wear one; or move to Antarctica! I don't even own a sweater except as an outside jacket, and it is button up. I'm just too warm, I only wear a coat if the wind is blowing in the winter time. :)

Wow so beautiful and so much work has gone into them. I would buy one and I like in a tropical climate.

Beautiful! Are they heavy? Look nice and warm. Does it stay cold where you are year round, to need one of these? :)

Beautiful , beautiful, beautiful.. and my O'my the hours you have put into them.. My first sweaters (years and year ago) I knitted each sleeve separate .. Of course they didn't match so I knitted the second set of sleeves as the same time(on circular needles).. I called it my 4 sleeve sweater.. Giggle. I haven't knitted anything but scarves and houseshoies in years.. Thank you for sharing

Thank you - yes very neat knitting both sleeves at the same circle needle, there are many women who do that, but not me

Beautiful! Lots of work I remember one I used to have when I was young - it was a lot like the second one but a teal green instead of the black. (My grandmother was Icelandic.)

These are gorgeous, gorgeous. How wonderful to know the old traditional patterns and be sure to teach them to two or more younger knitters, so it continues. I'm so impressed.

Beautiful! Those sweaters are well done. My mother could knit, but I never picked it up. Did a pot holder and said that was enough for me. I admire people who can make such wonderful creations!

I'm a big fan of your knitting expertise Sigrun. I've commented before on your wonderful Icelandic patterns. No wonder you sell them they are heirlooms! Love Chris

Love your work. These were very popular in Sweden. Islandströja. My husband had one when he was young. It was machineknitted. In the mid -60 or -70. Remember making a jacket of my husbands sweater for our daughter born -79, when she was 2´3 years. Recycling.
