Let customers speak for us
Love the pattern, great service. Can't wait to have a go at my first try on a circular needle!
I have knitted the one with all the beautiful coulours, and I think it is just lovely. I get a lot of compliments when I wear it. Please pass the compliments on to designer Vedis Jonsdottir. Greetings from Norway, Margrethe Beck
Loved the pattern.
It's being knitted in different sizes for a little man who loves his penguins by various family members.
We're substituting the wool as he is a mucky pup and his clothes spend a lot of time in eashing machine land.
Beautiful pattern, which I‘ve already made four times. I have a few more planned, because everyone says they‘d like one themselves. I think it‘s one of the most popular Lopapeysa patterns, and there‘s a very good reason for that- the pattern and the colors are beautiful with the Lopi wool!
I’m knitting it in different colours, and it looks awesome!
I bought the yarn on my recent trip to Iceland, and chose this pattern for my husband. Good range of sizes. Working with plötulopi has been easy - the two strands twist as knitted off the plate and the result is strong but soft and airy. The colors remind me of Iceland’s basalt mountains and snow. Usually I am a top-down knitter but am appreciating the Icelandic method of saving the most interesting part - the yoke - until the end.
I really like your patterns. For me they(it’s my third) are totally clear and understandable. I enjoy them a lot. Wish every german pattern have been written that kind of style…
May you can add „die Erhöhung wird durch verkürzte Reihen erreicht“ - „Short row shaping is added for neckline“
It’s more clear but every german Knitter will recognised it, if they read „wendemasche“. Hope you‘ll unterstand what I mean, my english is non practised that much.
You‘ve done a great Job translating, keep going that way, thanks a lot
