Hlne Magnsson is the designer starring in Field Guide No. 26: Moss. She has Iceland in her heart and her love for this place and this culture is highly contagious.

The first four designs will work well with Istex Lettlopiworked with a single strand, not held doubleas well as the yarns mentioned below.

Crowberry Sweater:The loveliest of yokes. Crowberries are small and dark, and with Hlnes artful eye, they become dimensional bobbles. Worked in the Icelandic wool yarns Plotulopi and Love Story Einband (Hlnes own rare laceweight yarn), this design knits up quickly on US size 10.5 (6.5 mm) needles.

Moss FieldThrow:Breathtaking. This masterful design is as close to a field in Iceland as you can get without leaving home. Hlne created this design even as she was taking a group of knitters on a trip through the mountains of Iceland.

Reindeer Moss Mittens and Tam:Abundant in the lava fields of Iceland, reindeer moss is a white texture in the landscape. Hlne brings it to us in a pair of stranded colorwork designs that are deliciously warmPlotulopi yarn held with Love Story Einband.

Love Story Shawl:Hlne is fascinated by the long tradition of Icelandic lace knitting, so with this shawl she brings us the exquisite openwork that is a counterpoint to the woolly Icelandic sweaters we love.
