Such a good idea to start in Nov. Love to knit my six rows a day, even as the weather warms up here in country Victoria. My 2023 sock won first prize in my local agricultural show. 😊
If I weren’t gifting this to my parents, I would consider entering this in my local county fair next year, just for the experience. Thanks for the inspiration!
This is my first time ever to join a knit along. I have been knitting for a few years now and have been wanting to learn how to knit socks and colourwork. I thought this would be a great opportunity to learn both. Love watching Arne's hands knitting while listening to you both in the background. Thank you so much for your generosity to do this. 💕💕💕
You have published 10 books and all along the way we have to weave in all the ends! Oh, such joy because each of ends woven in puts us closer to the completion of this stocking. Thanks for making the pandemic tolerable several years ago!
Hello, guys. In a bit of a funk--American, 4 days before the election, so you can guess why--when I came upon this. I have quite a bit of yarn and numerous needles, so I probably have the materials already. Will check out your blog and obtain what I need by tomorrow. I feel better already!
You and me too Kathryn! I’m here in Reno! Nevada, one of the swing states, and about to lose my mind! Knitting with Arne and Carlos is how I survived COVID, and it will get me through this month too. Enjoy this little bit of sanity every day! ❤️
10 amazing books each one in more than one language. Not only have you inspired me in learning the Norwegian style of knitting but I am now attempting my first ever sock.
First, thank you so much for this fun mystery knit-along for our Christmas Stocking 2024. You both are very generous with the free pattern. My research results show you have published 13 books from 2011 - 2021! Such dedication to crafting❣️
Last year's knit along was the highlight of my holiday season!! Knitting a little bit with you each day preserved my sanity during a chaotic Christmas!! I am so looking forward to this year's stocking!! And Arne and Carlos have published 10 books most of which I own!! Thank you for all the happiness you have provided me over the years through knitting!!❤❤❤
I love this stocking knit along. I completed mine from last year and entered it in my local fair and won a blue ribbon. Looking forward to this year’s Christmas stocking.
YOU HAVE MADE 10 BOOKS....My first year making a stocking with you! I have been following you since 2022. And I always wanted to, I am making this for my daughter in powder pink, ice blue and white. She chose the colour's. ❤ you guys are the best, your videos make me so happy 😊
I appreciate the closed captioning, so that if I am busy with other things I can easily read your discussion. I am a monthly supporter; nothing makes me more happy than watching your videos when things get rough!!! You guys are so creative! My son and daughter-in-law just had a baby girl in August, and you have no idea how excited I am to start a dollhouse for her, and your ideas for doll clothes (and furniture) are a ray of sunshine. Here in upstate New York, we have a lot of cloudy and cold days. Since the latest Presidential election it's going to get much more gloomy, however--just as during the pandemic--your videos are keeping my spirits up. I've put a trip to Norway on my bucket list, and am learning Norwegian on Duolingo as well. On a more personal note, I recently had both hips replaced after six years of agony, so I'm getting around a lot better and have nearly stopped taking pain meds. Cheers to Arne and Carlos!
Arne & Carlos have published 10 books which have been translated into I don't even know how many foreign languages. I have most of them, but by far my favorite is the Dolls book, from which I have knitted 3 dolls and a zillion outfits. I love these dolls!
Hey, I’m excited about the KAL and the giveaway. I’ve been a fan for a couple of years now. The answer to your question is 10 in various languages. I have several and many patterns. I don’t really need a Christmas stocking, but I’m thinking of leaving the Toe and the heel off and making it into a knee warmer.
Im new to colorworkand have not made a stocking before -6 rounds is perfect! I have come to the first colorwork part of the pattern and im doing it ! I honestly cant believe it !!!!! Thank you for this lovely kal and i also love that it is in November! ❤
Another stocking begins...! Not sure if I'm quite in the holiday season just yet, but I'll do my best to keep up. Ten books in the Arne & Carlos Library to date!
I believe it's 11 books so far! Going to start with yarn from my stash in different colours and maybe make another one in your colours at another time. Need to use up what i have got but i think it will be lovely.
Got there in the end (with a little cheat - joined and divided between 4 needles after row 1) and now looking forward to the next instalment. Found 10 books in English plus numerous translations. Now I just need to decide which one to start with!
Just found Arne and Carlos. Already a fan. 10 books? So many! I'm off to buy some wool! First time doing colorwork, so I just might take a bit longer than everyone else. But will still have time, I hope, to hang up my stocking before Saint Nick comes by.
I did the KAL last year and loved it, but I didn’t have it completed until after Christmas. Decided to check your blog & see if you were doing another one this year. Thought I was getting a jump on it this year, but you’d already started - better late than never 😂. I’m almost caught up. Such a great idea to do it now! I’ll have one for both of us hang and in plenty of time for Christmas! You’ve published 10 books.
I don’t know if anyone else answered, but it’s fish lips kiss heel pattern. It’s technically a pattern for a heel but I’ve been using it for both the toe and the heel for a few years now. It’s a short row heel with a twined turned stitch on each side, each row to build the heel shaping. Recently I’ve discovered what is called shadow wrap short row heel, which is very similar to the fish lip kiss heel, with less calculations need.
It was hard to find a suitable substitute yarn but I think I did it. Now let's hope it gets delivered closer to 2 than 10 days. I am now going to check out your 10 published books!
I see that Arne & Carlos have written 10 books. And I would love to win that lovely prize! I also look forward to making this stocking, and really appreciate that it is free. Merry Christmas!
10 books! I read on a reliable website ☺️ Thank you for all this effort you are taking for the (knitting and crocheting) community. I am grateful to see such warm hearted people. 🤗🙏✨🧶
Our wool finally arrived from Rowan so mum and I cast on this evening. We hopefully will still by finished by Christmas! Looking forward to starting the colourwork tomorrow. You’ve written 10 books ☺️
Thankyou Arne and Carlos . I was a beginner last year and I did knit a beautiful stocking for christmas 23. Looking forward to the daily knit and I’ll have another family heirloom for Christmas grazie mille .😀
Thank you for the fun knit along. In 2010, ARNE & CARLOS’ first knitting book, Julekuler (55 Christmas Balls to Knit), became an immediate Norwegian best-seller. It consequently went on to become a best-selling book in North America, Europe and Asia. Today, ARNE & CARLOS have published 10 books which are available in Norwegian, English, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish and Swedish.
El año pasado disfruté mucho de tejer la media navideña. Esperaba que volviera. Es una hermosa sensación el sentir que viviendo en lugares tan lejanos entre sí estamos tejiendo de modo coordinado.
Thank you for sharing the Stocking pattern for Christmas. Can't wait to see the finished project You have published 10 books. Congratulations!!! I have most of them
Arne and Carlos have published 10 books and I have several of them - can’t remember how many, but I have two copies of the 55 Christmas Balls. I couldn’t find mine so I bought another copy, and then I found it - it was a gift from my daughter with her message in the front, so it’s an extra special treasure for me! Love you guys!
I'm so excited you decided to do this wonderful KAL in November. Sadly, the Emerald Green by Rowan is out of stock in the US. I have it on backordered. I only have 25 grams of the green leftover from last year so I'll plug along and get as much as I can until my green comes in. You have published 10 books!!! Love you both!
I followed along with your knit along last year and taught myself to do stranded knitting. Talk about a revaluation! Then I did the stocking with the birds this year. Now I’m knitting the Christmas balls and loving them. Can’t wait to see what this year’s stocking is like.
You have no idea how happy I am to start this knit along!!! Last year I thoroughly enjoyed knitting my six rounds a day. I think it's brilliant to do this in November as well; then we have the whole month of December to admire our work. Arne and Carlos have published 10 books.
I knitted with you last year and it was my very first attempt at knitting colorwork! I never imagined it would be so easy to do!! I am very happy that you are doing it again this year!! I think you have published 10 books....
Last year's stocking was SO fun and I loved doing the 6 rows every day. Can't wait to get started on this one! Thanks for doing this knitalong again. XOXO "Cheating" in knitting just means you can think for yourself. Arne and Carlos have published 10 books.
Thank you SO much for this opportunity! Arne & Carlos have published 10 lovely books!! Here in the states I am knitting together with my dearest friend, Gill, in Wales - a long-distance knitting friendship!!
I really do love the whole "6 rows" per day. It's super manageable and if you miss a day due to "life happening", it's easy to make it back up the next day. I'm over half way through the toe at the moment. You two have written a total of 10 books ( ten books).
I was looking forward to your KAL again this year! I made last year’s stocking for me & this year will be for our new niece! I’ve made so many of your stocking for my whole family & we love them ALL! Thank you so much for making this free again! It’s so much fun! 10 BOOKS you have published (I also have several of those too!)
PS I just have to comment on that book of birds to knit.. The cover being two birds: Arne And Carlos PRECIOUS!!!! Extremely multi dimensional, talented folks.. Whimsy!!
Love the idea of starting a month early and six rows a day is awesome and doable. Hopefully this year I will complete this Christmas stocking. You have published 10 books. 👍👍🧶❤️🙂🎄
Hi, Arne and Carlos! Thank you for this fabulous knit along!! You have published ten books!! Thank you for your content and your method! I now knit the Norwegian way, and I am enjoying it so much!! Best regards, Elena
I’m so excited to start this but I hope I can do this on circular needles and I can’t use the devil stitches! Xx Yay I’ve just heard you say I can use circular phew. I’m in Essex in the UK, thank you for doing this again xx
Such a good idea to start in Nov. Love to knit my six rows a day, even as the weather warms up here in country Victoria. My 2023 sock won first prize in my local agricultural show. 😊

I thought this would be a great opportunity to learn both. Love watching Arne's hands knitting while listening to you both in the background. Thank you so much for your generosity to do this. 💕💕💕
These gentlemen taught me how to do colorwork and are excellent resources and teachers. Welcome! You and your knitting are in good hands!
You have published 10 books and all along the way we have to weave in all the ends! Oh, such joy because each of ends woven in puts us closer to the completion of this stocking. Thanks for making the pandemic tolerable several years ago!
I have never knit a stocking or sock of any kind, but this seems doable, so here we go....wheeee
My first sock was also a Christmas stocking. Doing it big made regular socks a lot less scary.
Same boat here... got the yarn at the lys and even got double pointed needles😮teaching myself how to use them
Hello, guys. In a bit of a funk--American, 4 days before the election, so you can guess why--when I came upon this. I have quite a bit of yarn and numerous needles, so I probably have the materials already. Will check out your blog and obtain what I need by tomorrow. I feel better already!
I hear you about election funk. Knitting is a good distraction in an anxious time.
You and me too Kathryn! I’m here in Reno! Nevada, one of the swing states, and about to lose my mind! Knitting with Arne and Carlos is how I survived COVID, and it will get me through this month too. Enjoy this little bit of sanity every day! ❤️
American in Canada! Exactly what I need to get past these days❤
Post election blues. Going to knit as therapy
10 amazing books each one in more than one language.
Not only have you inspired me in learning the Norwegian style of knitting but I am now attempting my first ever sock.
Arne & Carlos have published ten books in 15 different languages along with many collaborations and prestigious awards ... you guys rock!!!
I am going to try. I am a very beginning knitter
You got this, give yourself some patience 😊
Me too, only ever worked with chunky yarn, didn’t even know what DPNS were 😅 and have never done colour work…
So happy there is another knit along. 10 books!
The magic number of books is 10. Need to get back to my knitting, enjoying the process.
I believe it’s 10 books, so much creativity!

Just found Arne and Carlos. Already a fan. 10 books? So many! I'm off to buy some wool! First time doing colorwork, so I just might take a bit longer than everyone else. But will still have time, I hope, to hang up my stocking before Saint Nick comes by.

Just when I thought, isn't it time for a new Christmas stocking, there you were, right on time.
