Almanac

-------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- **Almanac** - by Tin Can Knits ============ -------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- ***When in Iceland... This yoke is my take on the Icelandic lopapeysa style that has been popular since its invention in the 1970's.*** ***After knitting and wearing Almanac in Iceland I see why this style remains popular. Joyful and quick to make it is hugely practical in a land of exquisite landscapes (and equally exquisite cold).*** -------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------- **Get the Deal!**  Order the [Strange Brew ebook][1] for $28.
