"Enough my friends" says Brynja "now we really have to finish packing and go to bed...". The dolls are just as excited as I am to go on the Authentic Iceland Hiking and Knitting Tour early in the morning! #authenticicelandknittingtour #icelandknittingtour #helenemagnussonknittingtours #icelandicdolls #theodoradoll

From my closet, Graine d'Hélène a little sweater created for @froufrouetcapucine yarn Graine de laine - did you get the pun? 😉 - but here reknitted with single #plötulopi The yoke is a further exploration of short rows shaping like on my #lopiaffection Pattern here: http://icelandicknitter.com/graine-dhelene . . #mylopapeysurcollection #mylopisweaterscollection #grainedhelene #helenemagnussondesigns #lopisweater #icelandicwool #lopi #shortrows #shortrowshaping #shortrowknitting #yokes #myworkspace

Love the colors Auður chose for her Gamaldags sweater! Check her out @iheartreykjavik if you want to take a tour of Reykjavík! ..... Repost @iheartreykjavik (@get_repost) ・・・ I'm not one to post photos of myself (especially not on the fifth day of a flu) but I did promise to post a photo of me wearing the sweater I knitted from the lopi I posted about a bit back (you can scroll down to in my feed to see it). I ended up adding a couple of more colors I had laying around to the pattern so all in all I used 6 colors on this. I thought it would maybe look a little bit too much like a baby sweater in that yellow but I have to admit that I kind of love it. There's something so satisfying about putting on an item of clothing that you made yourself and I can't wait to wear it this winter! Haven't knitted anything in two years (been too busy) but I'm already looking for the next project 😊🐏😊 #helloreykjavik #lopapeysa #knittersofinstagram #gamaldags #knitting #reykjavik #iceland

In my closet, the Missing lopi sweater - missing from the Textile Museum in Iceland because the lopi sweater is a recent invention - not old enough to be in a Museum ! Pattern is in my book "Icelandic handknits" and yoke is inspired by an old pair of mittens in the Textile museum, or to be more specific its thumb gusset #missinglopisweater #lopapeysa #myworkspace #mylopapeysurcollection #mylopisweaterscollection #textilemuseum #icelandichandknits #knittingbook

Catching sheep today! #gamaldags in action #sheeproundup #leadersheep #forystufé #icelandicsheep

I spent 3 hours yesterday, swatching that... and, believe it or not, I think it was quite productive - very happy with the result 😂😉 #mycreativeprocess #notkidding #helenemagnussondesigns #swatching #knitting #doodlesofinstagram

Have to share this amazing #gamallegur made by @mabibiche00 💕🌼😎 #lopapeysa #lopisweater #mensfashion http://icelandicknitter.com/gamallegur

I don't have many men sweaters in my closet but I have 2 Gamallegur or rather Gamallegir (plural) - and since they are shaped fir a man's body, there's no way I'm going to wear them! But they look good in the closet😉 The grey/brown/white is the one in the pattern, inspired by Gilipeysa combo- the other colorful yoke is the result of me trying to work on my leftovers stash 😉 Pattern is in profile and here: http://icelandicknitter.com/gamallegur #mylopisweaterscollection #mylopapeysurcollection #gamallegur #lopapeysa #lopisweater #menswear #menfitshape #yoke #knitting #icelandicwool #lopi

Not really in my closet but on the wall, the tiniest of #mylopisweaterscollection : Gilipeysa 💕http://icelandicknitter.com/gilipeysa #myworkspace #gilipeysa #gilitruttyarn #mylopapeysurcollection #helenemagnussondesigns

Olga, the original knitted by grand-mother Olga has a cherished place in my heart and my closet... A well-loved sweater,worn by all my girls, mended many many times, often with whatever yarn I had on hands... green, brown... Normally I'd reknit the sleeves top down but I want to keep it like this - nostalgia. After I made the pattern, from 1 to 12 years old, I made many more Olga sweaters, in all colors brown, blue, mustard, green, purple... they are all in use by kids in the family and of friends ☺️ Pattern here: http://icelandicknitter.com/olga #mylopisweaterscollection #mylopapeysurcollection #olgasweater #serialknitter #lopapeysa #knittersofinstagram #lopisweater #lopi #visiblemending

In my closet, 3 Brynja Litla, the child version of Brynja with the same details plus a hood - the girls are far too big to wear them now ... as a matter of fact, I am now officially the smallest in the family 🙄... and probably the only one who can put the 12 years on... 😂😊 http://icelandicknitter.com/brynja-litla #myworkspace #mylopapeysurcollection #mylopisweaterscollection #brynjalitla #lopapeysa #yoke #knitting #helenemagnussondesigns
