Edda Lilja Guðmundsdóttir designs the little yellow sweater. She designed the sweater for Yellow September and gave Lífsbrú the knitting recipe to support suicide prevention.
The Icelandic knitting community is large, and there is a long knitting tradition. Knitting involves mindfulness, which can be beneficial for mental health. The hope of those behind the Little Yellow Sweater is that a group of people will knit according to Edda Lilja’s recipe, either alone or participate in organized knitting. The Little Yellow Sweater would thus connect knitting people together, and the result would then be given to Lífsbrú as a gift. Lífsbrú would, in turn, sell the Little Yellow Sweater to fundraise for Yellow September and other suicide prevention measures. In this way, the strength and cooperation of knitting people will be useful for the cause, but hopefully also for connecting people together and creating good knitting sessions.
You can also buy the Little Yellow Sweater in the online shop at gulurseptemer.is.
Those who cannot knit but want to support Lífsbrú - Centre for Suicide Prevention are advised to support the Lífsbrú fund by making a deposit to the following account:
