I LOVE this person. Her yarn is WONDERFUL. I saw one of her shawls in Interweaves press and purchased the kit. From that time on I have purchased many of her patterns and yarn and I live in the USA. LOVE the yarn and patterns.
Mille mercis chère Helene! J’ai beaucoup aimé ton truc du fil rouge qui compte les rangs et ta technique des short rows que je trouve très astucieuse! Les journaux français disent que l’Islande est la championne du contrôle de l’épidémie, donnez nous la recette, ici en Bretagne on n’en peut plus...je me suis mise à tricoter continentale, mais nulle part je ne trouve de tutoriel qui montre comment régler l’intensité de la laine dans les doigts de l’arrière de la main, avant l’index! Si tu as des idées... à vendredi prochain avec grand plaisir! Biz, Brigitte
Ca me fait plaisir de t´entendre! Ben c´est juste que l´Islande est une ile avec peu d´habitants je pense... Sinon, j´ai fait un live il y a quelques mois ou´je l explique: je vais mettre la video sur youtube mais en attendant, vois ici: tricoteuse-islande.fr/apprennez-a-tricoter-a-lislandaise/
I have learnt some more great tips! The one where you have a bright yarn marking where to increase in the sleeves is very useful. In the past I have always relied on a stitch counter. I like the extra room for the elbows. Again, in the past, I have made up my own extra rows to allow for elbows in a sweater pattern and your tutorial has been wonderful to see! Merci!
Excellent video, Hélène! There is so much in it, I will be watching it again and again. Thanks for extending the KAL - even if I am knitting already with my stash (while waiting for my original yarn), I am just not that fast at knitting...! I really look forward to seeing your finished sweater, the colours are so pretty.
Une fois de plus merci pour ce partage enrichissant. Le "magic loop" est fascinant, mais également très impressionnant... je ne suis pas certaine de me lancer dans l'aventure pour l'instant, je me contenterai de tricoter les manches avec mon jeu d'aiguilles à chaussettes. En revanche, je tenterai l'expérience des rangs raccourcis pour le coude, c'est une excellente idée. Et hourra ! la laine est arrivée, quel bonheur cet orange qui réchauffe le rose, il me tarde de découvrir les autres couleurs in situ ; il va sans dire que je suis accrochée à mes aiguilles depuis trois jours, j'ai quasiment rattrapé mon retard ;-) Pensées amicales de la Normandie enneigée.
I really love the idea of showing how to repair the Plotulopi!! Please please do a video on that. It is very interesting about the elbow not being worn.
This was a great episode in the KAL. I know I will be watching it again as I am keen to try out more knitting the continental way (also in the round as I am only used to using that method back and forth). This tip for selecting colours for the pattern and finding out about contrast was also great. I still have to choose my third pattern colour and now this already was helpful and gave me some new ideas. Thanks again... and looking forward also to the prolongued episodes:)
What a wonderful video! I know I will be watching it again when my yarn FINALLY arrives. I am excited to try magic loop and a new way of doing short rows that makes a lot more sense. I am so glad that we don't have to trap loops...that seems to be when my knitting gets the most wonky. Thank you for extending the KAL and sharing your skills and your enthusiasm!
I like to do a "German short row" (or that's what I thought it was called). It looks really similar to this-is it the same, but different name, as the yo short row? Also, I'm glad for the extended time with the KAL. I'm really enjoying this yarn and sweater; but, I have also been knitting so many other things I haven't made as much progress as I like. :) Thanks for the tips!

Thank you for the video and for my price today!
Congratulations and you yet have to choose your colors!
@@icelandicknitter Hi, for the colors, can I see my options? Thank you so much 🙋♀️

I always forgot to turn the st counter! Glad you enjoy the elbow trick!
Merci Hélène! Quelle bonne idée la façon de tricoter les coudes! Encore merci!
Merci beaucoup!

No worry or stress, no pressure to finisih a sweater! And thanks, can´t wait to share with you how my colors turned out!

Parfait! Et c´est vraiment le monde à l´envers: la Normandie enneigée et des airs de printemps à Reykjavík...

I am loving your videos....you are a pleasure to ‘hang out with’ and to learn from. Your new friend karen from maryland, usa.
Thank you Karen :-) I love hanging with your guys too!
Thank you so much for doing this KAL, I just love knitting with you.
Thank you!
Helene;
This was wonderful! Thank you for bringing answers to all my questions!! Especially the floats! Stay safe.
Glad they were all answered :-)

It´s a nice method too, different, but the working 2 sts together to close the gap is similar.
