I Dream of Lapland
I Dream of Lapland is a beautifully crafted fair isle slouchy hat, skillfully designed using two stunning colors of [Backyard Fiberworks Sock][1]. This knitting pattern captures the essence of a magical winter retreat, reminiscent of the enchanting realm where my husband longed to visit since childhood to meet the real Santa Claus. Our journey took us to a charming spot where, one crisp night, he ventured out into the darkness and discovered a quaint grocery store just down the road and a perfect hill for sledding. Later on, we enjoyed a serene stroll under the twinkling stars in -25C air, only to find that the "grocery" was actually a delightful Marimekko Store. To this day, he has yet to live it down! I continue to dream of that enchanting place, which revealed itself to be stunningly beautiful, much warmer than expected, though the hotel sauna was an unforgettable experience—mandatory nudity included!
If you're interested in creating your own piece of this wintry wonder, come visit us at the [Indie Untangled trunk show][2], where you can select your two perfect colors for this captivating hat at the Backyard Fiberworks booth!
