Hello beautiful people! ✨❤️

Wowsa are we off to a great start with our 2024 crochet along! ✨❤️ whoop whoooop! I’m positively bursting with fruit flavour over here 🥰 everything is running smoothly, no mayor hiccups with the pattern and best of all, soooo many of you guys joining in!! And making the most beautiful blankets, all over the world ✨🤸🏻‍♀️ I couldn’t be happier. We really do have the best group over on FB ❤️ and of course the ABSOLUTE best admin team 🏆

Ok. So I’m gonna do a little video hiatus… I’ve now done 4 daily videos in a row and am a bit out of breath over here 🤣 This really was a rather crazy plan and honestly it wouldn’t even be healthy to make the whole blanket in a week anyways!! 🤣

Surprisingly, Many of you have actually kept up with this crazy pace 🤣 so I’m happy that I’ve now showed you all the important parts, in the first 4 videos. Seems like it’s going really well now and everyone doing great with their ISLANDS blankets and can continue on their own ✨

I’ll resume with the 3 remaining videos after the weekend! The only important part that’s left is the border video (part 7). This gives everyone a chance to catch up and just enjoy the ride! ✨

Again, thank you so much for participating, it means the world to me to see all your beautiful blankets in the making ✨ every now and again, in the midst of my day to day mundane you know: cooking, walking the dog, making lunchboxes and dealing with homework etc … then I think about you guys, all over the globe, crocheting my blanket along with me, well it just makes me feel like a little bit of a superwoman too! ✨😅🙈❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ haha, I know I shouldn’t brag, but man this is frigging amazing I tell you! 😅😎✌🏽❤️

Looking forward to seeing all your blankets continue to grow, you guys make me so damn proud with all your beautiful makes! ✨

Love & light,
Yours truly (and ever so organised)
Tinna 😘

I always do an annual summer solstice sale on the 21st of June, to celebrate the light. This year I thought I’d start the sale a bit early, because I realised that our Independence Day is just a few days before the summer solstice, today on June 17th. And today we celebrate 80 years of independence! So to all the Icelanders, gleðilegan þjóðhátíðar dag! ✨🥳 and for all the rest, you can celebrate with us by getting 44% discount on all my patterns … since we gained our independence in 1944! The SALE is valid until end of this month and no coupon needed ❤️

Earlier this year I did a little post on my neighbourhood in downtown Reykjavík and a short history recap. I was very happy to see how interested you guys were, so I thought I’d include a little history nugget here today too ❤️

One of the things I am very proud of as an Icelander (it is after all our Independence Day today so I feel I’m allowed 😉) is the fact that we were the First Nation worldwide to democratically elect a WOMAN as head of state! We elected Mrs. Vigdís Finnbogadóttir (second pic) as our president in 1980 and she served until 1996. I’m born in 1981, so all my childhood I was raised thinking that it was totally normal to have a woman as head of state. On top of being a woman, she was also a single mom when elected!! Now put that in your pipe and smoke it! 😅❤️

I’m getting a bit sappy here haha, but I feel this truly made a difference for me as a little girl growing up. It’s so very important for girls to see women play important roles in society ❤️ this way we KNOW we can do anything and are truly equal to men ❤️ I don’t know if it’s a direct result of this, but Iceland is leading to this day in gender equality worldwide. This is a true blessing for us as a nation. And I’m happy to tell you that we just had a presidential election last month and we have now again elected a woman as our next president ❤️ in fact, the runner up was ALSO a woman! It makes me happy to think that little girls growing up now in Iceland will have the same great role model I had as a kid.

Let me finish by mentioning our outgoing president, Mr. Guðni Th. Jóhannesson, who was an absolutely wonderful president too. I once had the honour of speaking to him on the phone and I told him that although I had not voted for him, I was indeed very happy with him as our president. His response: “well I’m happy to hear that. I’d rather you not vote for me and be pleased with my work, than the other way around!!” Ahaha, an absolutely brilliant and a very humble man. In the third pic here you can see Mr. Guðni (yes, we all refer to him by first name like we do with everyone here! 😅❤️), ordering KFC for his family and just waiting in line like everyone else! ❤️ this is what I absolutely love about my country, being a small nation comes with certain advantages too!

So happy Independence Day Iceland, here’s to at least 80 more years of good luck and prosperity for our nation ❤️🥂

Ps. Yes I know today is the 18th 🙈 forgot to post this here yesterday 🫶🏽
