BORGARBÓKASAFNIÐ

Wool and words

Do you want to gather with other knitting enthusiasts while practising Icelandic in a relaxed atmosphere? Are you an Icelandic speaker who loves crafts, wants to meet new people and share your knitting knowledge with others?

Lopi og orð (Wool and Words) 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. 

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

We meet on Sundays once a month from 15:00 to 16:30 on the second floor of Grófin - City Library. 

  • 13 September
  • 11 October
  • 8 November
  • 13 December

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