I grew up in Efra Breiðholt and have spent the past 35 years living in Grafarvogur. My mother was very skilled in handicrafts and taught me to knit when I was 12-13 years old, and I have been knitting extensively ever since. I work as a kindergarten teacher and a special education teacher. Still, a few years ago I graduated as a library and information scientist and now work in that capacity at a school library in Mosfellsbær. I am passionate about various handicrafts, but I especially love knitting. My motto is to live life fully and face it with a smile.
