Wool & Words: knit and practice Icelandic

Lopi og orð is a cozy gathering where everyone who enjoys handcrafts such as knitting, crochet, or embroidery and has a basic knowledge of Icelandic is welcome to join. The idea of the event is to create a space where Icelandic learners can practice their skills while connecting with Icelandic culture in a relaxed, cozy environment.

Although English is permitted, Icelandic as the primary means of communication is highly encouraged for participants at all levels, or at least the constant incorporation of Icelandic words. Likewise, participants are expected to be patient with those whose Icelandic abilities are still developing but are doing their best.

We will have coffee for everyone, as well as knitting recipes and a vocabulary sheet.

We meet every second Sunday from 15:00 to 16:30 on the second floor of Grófinn - City Library.

Icelandic speakers are also encouraged to join us, talk to the participants and share their knitting knowledge with others.

This event is organised by Huldumál, the Association for Students in Icelandic as a Second Language. For questions, contact: huldumal@hi.is
