Bring the family to the Scandinavia House (58 Park Avenue New York, NY 10016) to learn the secrets of two stranded knitting, grafting, steeking, chart reading, yarn dominance and decreasing. Native Icelanders Hildur Hildur Loftsdóttir and Steinunn Harðardóttir, as well as designer Védís Jónsdóttir, will provide lessons on how to knit your very own traditional Icelandic Lopapeysa “Lopi” sweater.
