First of all, thank you for your kindness and secondly, thank you for helping so many of us learn how to knit up these beautiful jumpers. You are fantastic
I finally finished the sweater following dutifully your advices and the pattern! It was quite stressful when it came to binding off the neck and sealing the arm holes but I managed! (It's not perfect but I expect first tries rarely are!) Again, I can't thank you enough for your videos in this series, I would never have tried my hand at that sort of knitting without them even if I love the pattern. I can't wait for my sister to see the result and for me to start on another one of your patterns
I wanted to take a moment to stop and thank you. Your videos are so easy to follow and pleasant to listen to. I started this pattern almost a year ago as a homecoming gift to my husband who was deployed and I am just now finishing it. He absolutely loves it and get a big smile whenever he puts it on.
SERIOUSLY UNDERRATED CONTENT your work with the holes in the finished work has my jaw on the floor! so brilliant! why are so many ladies saying i need to learn complex algorithm and twisty hoppy stitches when this seems so intuitive?
Thank you so much for the videos and the written patterns. They are easy to follow and I made the sweater for myself. I plan to make the moose one next for my daughter. Learned a lot of techniques too. Wanted to show my appreciation of you sharing the techniques and patterns in writing and videos.
Thanks for this great tutorial! It was my first Icelandic sweater and it turned out even more beautiful than I imagined. A great Christmas gift for my boyfriend.
I would like to say how much I appreciate you speaking in English, its obvious it isn't your first language. You do a beautiful job, and you explain wonderfully, I'm looking forward to more of your videos and tutorials.
Thank you very much for making these videos. I like the ribbing style, and the casting off, these give the work an extra professional look. You are an artist.
Sorry for the book of txt :) I just am so very grateful and thankful for your time you took out of your day making these tutorials for us. I wish all the happenings and blessing on you and your family! Thank you so much!! 💕
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I finished my lopapeysa today- I just need to weave in ends and block. It came out great, using your videos and the pattern on Ravelry. I am so pleased with it! It took me 6 months exactly, but I didn't work on it every day. I can't wait to make another! Thank you! I can't believe it looks so amazing!
I will thank you you so much. Now I am ready to start my first icelandic sweater. Your tips are so helpful to me. And the sound of music in your video was good. Most times in other diy videos it is so annoying. But this was well to your voice. I understand it well. My mother language is german. Great job!
I’ve been so intimidated to try a sweater like this, but your step-by-step instructions are so helpful! I’m definitely going to give this a try. Thank you!
@@kathydean6491 hi Kathy I did not use her pdf I used the alafoss anniversary pattern. I will ya though these patterns can be challenging. Where are you finding error I'll take a look if you want
@@debdamico9973 HI wow.. thanks much for replying. The confusion arose when I discovered the tutorial on you tube differed from the pdf download. I started that is, I did the cast on following her tutorial. Then carried on with the pdf, only to find the amount to cast on was completely different. So I gave up!!! Unlike me to do so, always love a challenge . Could you please send me the link to the version you used? TIA. Take care 🤗
Wow...I was fortunate to find one at the Thrift store...it amazed me because it looks like one peice. I love it and want to make my own. Thanks so much for the tutorial ❣
Always been afraid to try colorwork/Icelandic knitting but of course wanted to because it is beautiful. I feel much more confident watching your helpful tutorials. Thank you.
Thank you very much for this instructional video! I just got done with the sweater😃 I used the alafosslopi yarn so it's really thick and will get some good use this winter. Will try another sweater with a softer yarn next, probably the fish design!🤘
Thank you so much - I recently visited Iceland and downloaded a pattern and bought wool from the Icelandic Store. Following your advice, I have now completed my Anniversary sweater and am thrilled with the result. I also bought my sister a pattern and wool for the Horses sweater and introduced her to your videos.
Iceland inspires to start knitting lopapeysa sweaters 😄 I’ve never been there actually, but I like their approach to knitting, the simplicity of construction and love to natural fibers 🤩
Thank you so much!! I’m a beginner and I’m just mesmerized in the way that u knot, some stuff I didn’t understand but just they way that u talk and knit made me feel safe. As another person already told u: thank u so much for this information!!! I hope u have a great day and greetings from Colombia ✨✨
I just finished my first knitted sweater ever, and it was from your pattern at ravelry, together with these videos! I am so happy with the outcome, it turned out so beautiful! Thank you so much for the pattern and the videos, I would never hade dared to try this otherwise.
Thank you so much for your tutorials. Very informative and easy to see how you've done it. I feel less anxious to try knitting my first Icelandic sweater!
Wow superb....you are amazing ..spending so much of your time to share all these tricks and tips for beginners like me...bless you...love from India...🤗🤗🤗
again thank you so much, i'm almost done knitting my very first lopapeysa and i cannot wait to give it to my grandpa for christmas. he will be over the moon, thanks to your awesome tutorials! thank you so much for making this christmas a good one
Thank you sooooo much ♥ for all your help. My Sweater is almost done. I'm binding off the neck right now. ☺ Since I used regular yarn, and created my own design I may not be able to call it a 'Lopapeysa' ☺ but it looks a lot like it! ...
Greetings from Colorado. I watched all three parts. Fantastic, especially the cast on method, the bind off and how you distributed the spaces evenly! I learned so much! I have knitted a few aran design sweaters and would like to knit my first icelandic design...i picked a pattern today and ordered the wool. I an going to try to adjust my knitting style away from my usual "throw the yarn with my right hand" and keep the working yarn(s) on the left. The only question I have is what to do when its too many stitches away when picking up the original color after working another color(s)? Did I miss the explanation of that?
At 2:21 with the ssk you mention “you see the stitch is not open to me, it faces away from me”. Those two stitches (on Left needle) both look normally-facing to me? I can’t quite see what exactly changes, after you ‘reposition’ those two stitches before increasing into them?
Hi, thank you for this amazing tutorial. When finishing the neck the second step is not seen clearly. I could not understand where you get the stich with your needle from?
Please help...I have knitted the whole sweater following your pattern but neck I am not able to follow the instructions because of the fast forward video. Please explain neck rib how do you decrease with one grey and one red. Thx.
I didn't really get what do you mean.. there is the last row of Chart 2 to decrease has only 1 color, therefore. you decrease one color, then change your needles to 4.5mm and start doing the rib 1 knit, 1 purl stitch. Let me know what exactly made you confused? You can message me in another social media such as Instagram and send pictures maybe, so I can have a better look :)
Love the way you weave your stitches for the armhole, I do the same but from the wrong side, it's just easier for me. I will try your way. Also, the ribbing looks gorgeous. May I ask where are you from? Great channel, I hope you keep on growing. Greetings from Argentina (where there is no chance to getting a Lopi yarn, but are great carded wools good for colorwork)
Thank you! I've never tried it from the wrong side, must be easy too! I should try :))) Originally I'm from Russia. Warm greetings to Argentina! I'm sure there is plenty of different yarn which we don't know here :)
I give you a billion thanks for these 3 precious videos. I just finised my lopapeysa because of you. These videos are absolutly helpfully !!! I have a question. Can I excuse the rinsing ?
Thanks for watching! I know how important it is to get some advice at a right time while one still has the motivation to knit! It was already a big deal to finish the sweater! ;)
It’s a good question. If I want it to be perfectly fit, I would add short rows, but classical sweaters opt for the simplest way of knitting a sweater, so I don’t do it 😄
So beautiful. For fair isle, should it use a wool yarn.? Because I live in tropical country,, can I substitute with other fiber such as cotton? Or what do you suggest. I appreciate for your answer. Thank you for sharing 🙏
Thank you so much for this pattern and tutorial I have learnt so much and love the cast on. I noticed your pattern on the Video is slightly different,is it possible to have the pattern you are using ? Thank you again looking forward to more tutorials
Hello! Thank you so much for your wonderful pattern! I'm planning on buying some lopi soon to knit this. A few questions: 1) what would the substitution be if I were to use Plotulopi instead? and 2) how can I modify the pattern to sew a zipper through it? I would love to also make a zippered version. Thank you again!
Hello! Thank you for the questions! You can any yarn basically if you get the same or similar gauge. You can adjust it by changing needle size or the size of the sweater itself :) I will do a zippered version in the future :)
All Gods, are you even human? I've watched all 3 parts and it is so impressive how patiently, methodically and skilled you work. This is a great task to approach and finish. Can I ask you for how long you have been practicing making jumpers until you have reached this level of expertise? May I also ask how long you worked on this one jumper from start to finish? Btw, I'm watching this in Germany and it gives me hope that there is world worth living for out there 😁😉
Thanks a lot for your feedback 😊 before making this one, I’ve finished about 12-15 sweaters like that and found out there were no detailed instructions anywhere, so I learned a lot since the first one, it was about 3-4 years ago. Nowadays it takes me 5-6 days to finish a sweater M size 😅😅😅
@@yuhaknitting thanks a million. That gives me hope 😄 long evenings ahead might be a good way to get started on this journey 😊 I'm looking forward to learning more from your channel and will check out your etsy side, too. Thanks again and best of luck ❤️
You must be a generous person to share such a lot of knowledge in one place, many, many thanks for your time.
Sharing is caring :D
Lol she’s not even Icelandic, but Russian. All these non Icelandic people wearing, and making traditional Icelandic knitted sweaters😝

SERIOUSLY UNDERRATED CONTENT
your work with the holes in the finished work has my jaw on the floor! so brilliant! why are so many ladies saying i need to learn complex algorithm and twisty hoppy stitches when this seems so intuitive?
Thanks a lot 😊 I think it works only with wool, I’m afraid that it won’t work that well on a cotton piece, cotton is more demanding 😄
Thank you very much for the unique techniques. Love and greetings from Turkey.
My pleasure! Oh, I love Turkey, greetings back! 😊

You can check how it looks when you have made the stitch. Loop will be either regular or twisted.

I learned a lot.....thank you !
