"...point at people! that's not nice..." Arne, I love your sense of humour!
😂
Learned to knit entirely from Arne’s video. It worked for me. Best line: “dis is da dancing”. :)
I adopted the "Norwegian Knit" and the "Norwegian Purl" by watching Arne. I am not a knitting wizard, I'm just a woman with some years of knitting "English" under her belt. I am self-taught by buying How-to books and patterns back in the '70s. You just have different ways of verbalizing what you are doing. All people really have to do is use the "pause" key liberally. You make a great tag-team on teaching. Thank you!
I practiced last night and this is so much easier than I’ve been doing for 50 years. What a service you are doing for the knitting community! I was so excited I purchased a set of the Prym needles as well. Thank you!
You are welcome and we are glad to be of help!
Carlos I don’t know why you were so worried about this video, it was brill. So informative and helpful. Thank you to you both. What a great team you both are xxxxx
Oh my goodness, light bulb moment! Thank you both so much. I’ve been trying to learn continental knitting for a while, I could never ‘tension’ the yarn over my finger comfortably without having to re-tension constantly. Your way is perfect, absolutely fantastic tutorial. ‘Change your tools, not you!’ Thanks so much to both of you xx
You are welcome Sue, keep on knitting!
We all learn differently so that is a good reason to have different teachers to teach us. Not one is better, just different so mahalo (thank you in Hawaiian)!
Well said!!!
I finally got it! The left hand simply holds the yarn but it’s the right needle that does all the work. Thanks for a brilliant explanation.
Oh my gosh- don’t judge you too harshly?! Are you kidding me? Carlos, we already love you! You and Arne are deeply beloved around the world. You are such a brilliant and masterful team and I admire the way you work together, both personally and professionally. You each have so much to offer and contribute and we all look forward to your episodes each week! My gosh, we plan our days, our lives, around it, LOL! Personally speaking, I have learned so much from each of you; things that far transcend the knitting world. I admire your kind and loving ways, how you treat each other with dignity and respect, you care about our planet and value even the smallest things, but things that matter. I just love and appreciate your ways of ‘being’ in the world, your skills and your breadth of knowledge, your generosity, warmth and hospitality, your values and ethics and well-roundedness...honestly, I could go on. I have been your fan for many years when I stumbled on you quite accidentally on TH-cam one day and I have remained drawn in ever since. It was one of life‘s greatest highlights to meet you both in Ashcroft, British Columbia 🇨🇦 last fall. Now, I’m so excited to re-watch your video and practice this new way of knitting! Many, many thanks and much love! 🇨🇦 ♥️🇳🇴 🧶
I learned something new today! After knitting for over 65 years! Thank you
You are welcome!
I love knitting this way. As a crocheter who only knIt very little. Knitting this way works for me. I have learned the Norwegian purl too and it’s the only way I purl now. Thanks Carlos for taking it slow. Love your example just pull the cord. I will always remember that. So good to see you both. Be Blessed.
Thank you for teaching me Norwegian knitting! I am a convert!! I was knitting a Bolero and the row of purling was too painful. I was an English knitter. It took me a minute to catch on and realize that this was my new way of knitting, but now, there is no going back. Thank you!!
Congratulations🫶🏻🪅🪅
I have been wanting to start knitting this way. Now I need to practice. I love your analogy about pulling the cord in an emergency. Very smart!!
Have fun!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I am 70 years old and taught myself how to knit in my early twenties. I struggled for years (in my teens) to learn how to knit the way it was taught in the books in the US where I live, and the way my grandmother showed me, but I just couldn't get it. Finally I decided just do it my own way. After watching your videos I realized I wasn't doing it the "wrong" way, I was doing it the "Old Norwegian Farmers" way. My projects always come out nice, but I am slow! I wanted to learn your Norwegian way so I could knit faster and be more comfortable with color work. I watched both Arne's and Carlos' tutorials and picked it up in no time! Love it. (My great grandfather was from Norway, maybe it's in the genes.LOL). I just started watching you last fall and am still catching up. You guys are awesome. Thank you
Hi Ruth, that's great to hear, and its probably in your genes!
Loved it! Thank you. Pinching the right needle was the really helpful step that I was missing.
Recently, I have watched some TH-cam Videos to try and learn Continental Knitting but somehow devised my own way of knitting. Little did I know that my "devised" method of knitting which I'm most comfortable with is the Norwegian Style! This is so cool!!
I'm making a swatch and determined that it is time for me to switch to Norwegian style. So I remembered this video and found it and indeed, it's so simple and in spite of arthritis and tiny (to me) needles, my hands do not hurt and I'm getting the hang of it. "Pull the cord!" Will become my mantra for the swatch by which time I hope it's a habit. Thank you. I guess when one is ready - even motivated - to learn something, it comes easier but also, good teaching helps too.
We are so glad to hear that!
Never knew I was Norwegian. That's the way I've always knit since I learned continental.
Granny Squared me too!
Me three! 🤣
I think I do that too, but I have to wait till I get to my knitting to see! :)
Me four
Fantastic. Well done. You made it look so easy. I’m 77 and have been a thrower. I will change now. Wahoo. ❤️
This and the purling video has improved my knitting and trigger fingers so much! Thank you!
You are welcome!
What I enjoyed about learning from you when you visited St. Thomas, Ontario was that you both taught in your own way and offered tips - which means we benefited from both of your teaching styles. thanks so much for posting this video as a great review of what we learned in your class!
I love Norwegian knitting and purling. I have shoulder issues and the ergonomic method means I can knit as long as I want as often as I want and my shoulder never freezes. Learned from watching your videos, of course. Still great to have a recap. Many thanks x
Thanks guys. After 45 years of being a knitter who threw his yarn because that was grandma's way ( she's the one who taught me) I have decided to watch you guys and copy what you do. I can say after a year of knitting your way I knit faster and have a better tension. I don't think I can go back to grandma's way. Purling took a little longer to master but I did. Love it. I'm glad I learned how to twist cables without an extra needle. Big time saver.
Hurray! I just realized that I have been Knitting Norwegian style all my life. My neighbor taught me Continental style when I was a little girl. I also loved your teacup, Carlos. I designed one block to represent my Danish heritage.
❤️ Arne’s sweater!
Carlos you did an excellent job teaching. I am going to practice Norwegian knitting!
I am so relieved that I am not the only one that knits this way. I am not Norwegian, I was born in Caracas, Venezuela and this is the way I’ve been knitting since my mother taught me at age 15. I’ve been living in Canada for many years now and I always felt a little bit weird because people here knit the English way (I think that’s how it’s called). I could never explain why my way of knitting was different than everyone else, and also I don’t really know the history of how it came to be that this is the way my mother used to knit. I now have learned that the way I knit it’s called “Combination Continental”. I do the purl stitch different than the Norwegian way, but still hold the yarn the same way. Very interesting! Thank you Arne and Carlos.
Arne u were an excellent interviewer - and thank you Carlos for being a great teacher
Guys I love Norwegian knitting! I was a Continental knitter and when you spoke about it some tieme ago I tried it and its marvelous! Hugs from Madrid! Stay safe 😙
Wow I have been doing this all along!!! I am self taught from books in the time before TH-cam. My Nordic ancestry must have snuck out. Thank you for your videos
Thank you, you both have changed my knitting life. I learned to throw knitting when I was 5 years old, my Grandma Mary taught me this way as I couldn't hold the needles and thread in the continental way, my hands were to small. My Grandma also taught me to crochet, and I found it easier, so put knitting in the back part of my brain. I picked up knitting again in my teens, but I only knew how to throw so my knitting was very slow. I found you two wonderful knitters and you taught me how to knit. Thank You. I love to knit lace, you made knitting easy.
We are so glad to her that!
I just had that "aha moment" watching this. I just replicated this and it feels so natural as a crocheter that LOVES the look of knitting!! Thank you gentlemen!!!
You are welcome!
I learned something from both of you. I’m a crocheter so keeping the needle close is easy but I could never get a grasp on knitting. After years and years of trying I now finally am able to do this. Thank you so much.
You are welcome!
You are both great at teaching and interviewing ☺
Great tips. This has been very difficult to do but I think after watching Carlos I might do better. Thank you for switching and revisiting this tutorial.
Thank you Carlos for showing a Norwegian Knitting novice a simple way to start. I'm an experienced UK knitter and although I love to watch Arne knit, it's much too fast for me to be brave enough to try. My afternoon will now be attempting to try and not be too frustrated because I am much slower than normal. As you both say, just enjoy it. xxx
I’m completely sold on Norwegian knit and purl!! I have been throwing my yarn since 1954-and now, so late in life I learn this method and many many thanks to you both! 🥰
Congratulations Angela, we're never too old to learn new things💗
Love your easy instructions. Still practicing your style. I'm old 65 and it's hard to teach and old dog new tricks. I'm going to get this if it takes me another decade. 😆 love you guys. TY Dawn
Thank you, never too late to learn!
You two are terrific! Thank you!!!
Hi guys,
Carlos you are looking so much better, Arne you too. Love watching you both.
THANK YOU! Thank you for these brilliant videos - Norwegian knit & purl. I think this has changed my life as my English throwing was causing me some pain. Thank you both so very much xx
I loved this..now to try it with the needles. I think I'll make a couple of plain hats...and when I need to I'll pull yhe cord. That was brilliant. We'll never forget now. And Arne you were great as an interviewer and encourager.
So your plan is to knit a simple stockinette hat in the round on circular needles? To get started, do you think it would be OK to work the ribbed brim of the hat in my usual way (throw/English style) and then begin the Norwegian style when I get to the stockinette body of the hat, where I'd be knitting every round? This would certainly give lots of practice with Norwegian knitting, yet you'd be knitting something useful, not just a big swatch. Thanks.
I am not an experienced knitter, but I will give the Norwegian way of knitting a try. ‘Pulling the emergency cord’ will help considerably from having a cramping index finger 🌸
I like this style and the good energy between the hosts. Thank you so much. ❤
I am currently working on a very boring project, but it is the perfect opportunity to practice the Norwegian knitting technique! Thank you so much! I am getting better tension with my knitting, being able to get a better rhythm, and my hands aren’t hurting so much! I love this method!
You are welcome, glad you find it useful.
Pandemic hobby #7 for me is KNITTING! Thank you for showing me how to comfortably knit and purl in the Norwegian method. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching and replaying and replaying and replaying and replaying your videos again and again. Stay safe and keep knitting & sharing your passions!
I'm a crocheter for 48 yrs and have always wanted to knit, however just couldn't get it. Then I came across your channel and I'm practicing my knitting and I'm finding the Norwegian way so much easier then what we're taught here in America. My goal is to knit a hat by Fall!
Wow, well done Georgia, have fun on your knitting journey
@@ARNECARLOS Thank you so much guys have a fantastic week!
I just tried your way of holding the yarn and out loosened up my grip so well, I found the stitch more uniform and slightly looser which I like. Thank guys, have a nice weekend.
Loved the « pull the cord » bit. Made me giggle.... I used to knit British but because of arthritis in my thumbs, I played around to see how I could knit without putting tension on my left thumb.... Now I know I knit Norwegian! And yes, this is so comfortable and I can go back to knitting for long periods. Thank you Carlos! I love that you both have different styles in explaining the same thing. Always in admiration of the skills! 🌿
Thank you!
Educational, entertaining and ergonomic...thanks Carlos for the demo and Arne for the commentary.
You are welcome!
Im a self taught knitter and this is how I have always held my yarn, I even hold it this way when crocheting.
I am excited to try Norwegian knitting! It looks so relaxing. I am an American thower, so I think Norwegian knitting will be great to learn. Thank you Carlos for the clearly explained video
You are welcome!
Good job Carlos.... yes I learned just watching Arne's hands and listening to your mantra "don't change yourself, change the tool". It was eye opening.
My grandma from Austria taught me to knit and I knit exactly like you do. Love it!
The best!
I have been struggling to find a way to hold my knitting and not be in excruciating pain after 5 minutes, and this is it! Thank you so much. Carlos, you are very good at explaining and showing what to do. I am forever grateful to you both for posting this video!
Glad you found it useful!
I'm relatively new to knitting and I was about to give up because after hours and hours of practice my knitting was still awkward and slow, and I was constantly struggling with split strands, ladders, tension issues, and uneven stitches. Then I tried your method of knitting , which at first was difficult for me to understand how to hold the yarn and place my fingers but finally I got the feel for it and it changed the quality, speed and rhythm of my knitting immediately and made it fun and relaxing. Now I feel confident enough to actually try to make something nice. Thank you so much!
Hi Donna, how great to hear that you are having fun! Well done teaching yourself knitting!
After helping high school students for many years, one important thing I've learned is that there are many ways to learn. It is SO good to have different people teach the same concept because they bring a new perspective. Thank you both for your guidance in learning to knit Norwegian style. Since I've started watching your videos I've been forcing myself to practice this way of knitting. Especially the Norwegian purling. I never thought I'd get it, but through patience and persistence I am starting to get comfortable with it! You are both wonderful teachers! I am truly grateful to you!
💓 thank goodness for the emergency cord. A perfect demonstration!! Lovely to see you both.
Thus was a fabulous explanation. Watched other TH-cam videos but yours is the one that explained how to hold the knitting and why. As a crocheter I stick out my finger but now I know this is not the right way for Norwegian knitting 😃
Thank you both. Love they way you work together. 💕
You are an excellent instructor Carlos! Thank you for your demonstration.
Wonderful demonstration! I loved the pull the emergency string! because, yes my finger wants to rise when tension loosens.
Wow, thank you Carlos and Arne for this tutorial Norwegian knit. It looks easy and relax. Thank’s again.😍
Beautiful presentation; I can't wait to try it. I have taught myself 3 methods but yet to learn the Norwegian way! I am excited to try because I suffer from tendinitis from my pastry chef days so this will be great! I have been working on a shawl with a lot of knit stitches so I think I will start practicing now. You two are such a breath of fresh air; kudos to you for making so many people happy and better knitters. Keep getting rest and taking care of each other. Have a great week!
Thank you for showing knitting Norwegian- they were easy to learn and I can see how it can goes fast- helpful from Carlo and Arne to start beginning knitting!!yay!
Very nice instructional video. I’ve done this before, but didn’t know it was Norwegian style knitting. It’s very comfortable. Looking forward to the purling episode.
Really like your teaching Carlos, not only the technique but your attitude which is extremely helpful for a new beginner who would love to learn the Norwegian style
After years of throwing / English style, I recently had a horrible bout of tendonitis in my hands and wrists - which is what led me here. This is such a great new, and more ergonomic way to knit! It’ll take me a while to get used to the tension but I’ll always remember to ‘pull the cord in case of emergency’!
Great, and we are glad to hear that this will be gentler on your hands.
I love watching both of u knit. Arne has a rhythm that is quite beautiful to watch and Carlos has an ease that feels relaxing. Everyone has a slight difference and it's good to see that. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you for this. I’m 34 and have arthritis in my hands because I’ve been knitting since I was 5. This will allow me to continue with what I love x
Some say Norwegian knitting can be easier on the hands.
Hello lovely Arne and Carlos I loved this episode of your vlog. I am so glad you chose a pre-recorded episode, I am concerned you are going overtire yourself. You really helped me understand the Norwegian method of sewing. It certainly looks very comfortable and easy to do once you have persevered with this method. Anything new is always trial and error and just keeping going. I taught myself to knit when I was 9 and it is nit traditional in any way, but I have always wanted to knit ‘properly’ so this is my chance to perfect it. Thank you both for keeping us all going, you are absolute stars to me. Look after yourselves, you are both my favourite people. Big hugs and loves always xxxxxxxxx Dorothy U.K. ❤️❤️🙋🏻😘😘🌟🌟
I learned English style and tried to learn continental for ages to speed up and to stop my hand from cramping, but I couldn’t get it. This, however, is GENIUS. It’s so much easier to catch the yarn when it’s resting against your index finger as opposed to flying in the air continental style. Can’t wait to keep practising this!
Always great to see you. Thank you for the instruction.
Love Carlos’ explanation of not holding too tight. Gonna use this when I teach!
I believe I’m a convert after this came to
my attention today. I’ve been knitting on a basket weave pattern so it became very convenient & time saving to practice the Norwegian Purl. Thank you!!
You are welcome!
What a great team you make! Thank you for the clear teaching and the sense of fun you infuse into everything.
Love watching you guys interact with each other and your viewers. Watching this video I realize I point to the stars, so will pay more attention. Thanks again for a great video.
This was the best - and cutest/funniest tutorial. Gotta try this method.
I am watching Arne knit along, listening to Carlos and it is a fascinating thing to watch.
Hi Carlos and Arne. How are you doing? Carlos thank you for showing us the Norwegian way of knitting. I am going to give it a try. Thanks to you both.
It’s good to have and both of your ways, helps more types of learners... so nice of you both 💕
Yes, we all learn differently.
Thank you! I can’t wait to try this. It looks so much easier once you get used to it! ❤️
Thank you. I’m learning❤️
So nice to have a visit with you while I am knitting. You are both looking well.
Nice video showing how to hold needles and yarn over left index finger. I never get how to scoop yarn from left index finger by right needle. Big thanks Carol and Arne!
Wow..I really got it this time..I enjoyed Arne’s teaching but watching and listening to Carlos I felt it click..I got it..you make a great team..
Definitely a much more relaxing style, great demo.
You both are such treasures! Keep up the good work sharing your knitting with your followers! Happy Sunday!
Loving the explanation, attention to detail and knowing the tension is in the needle; it's a small but significant shift for this continental knitter. Eye opening, thank you!
Carlos you did a great job. When I thought myself Continental (Norwegian) knitting I tensioned my yarn just like you teach. I’m so glad I never picked up the pointing finger habit! Looking forward to the Purl. I’ve had to watch Arnie in slow motion to try and figure it out. He is the speedy one! Haha.
So good to see both of you during the weekly podcasts. Stay healthy.
I'm guilty of winding the yarn a few times around my fingers on my left hand, and holding out my finger, so, loving the advice about not doing that - had not realised about how doing so leads to muscle strain. Going to start again in practicing using all your techniques. Many thanks to both of you :-)
I can’t compare Arne to Carlos’ way of teaching Norwegian style because this was my 1st try & it was very easy! I do have to “pull the cord” occasionally and hoping this helps my arthritis! I’m going to practice the knit stitch until next Sunday when you show the Purl stitch. Thanks, once again Arne & Carlos! 💕 💕
Thank you! Newbie here and trying to figure out different techniques. This really helped me understand this style. Excited to put it into practice!
Have fun!
Hi Arne and Carlos. I've been knitting for 60 years, taught by my mother. Since I'm English, I learned to throw stitches. About 20 years ago I attempted ...and failed...to teach myself continental style. Too difficult! However, I watched the tutorial so I had a go with the Norwegian knit since I'm knitting in the round at present and found it so easy to do and so very easy with the 2 colour fair isle pattern. I'm on to the rib top so this afternoon, after watching your tutorial, I learned Norwegian purl. Well done Carlos...you made it simple to follow! I'm sending your videos to my sister who had given up knitting due to arthritis in her hands. I believe your ergonomic method will make possible for her to knit again. I'm also sending them to my niece who does colourwork but who throws stitches making progress slow and awkward.
You taught this old dog a new trick!! Many thanks. You guys are fabulous!!!!
You are welcome Laura, glad we could be of help!
Carlos this was so helpful! I'd adopted the Norwegian style after the earlier video but this helped me so much to clarify things. I was holding my left index finger more to the left than closer to the right needle. Thank you! Love you both.
Thanks Carlos ! This was great! Now I think I can handle it better. My gauge is still looser than when I knit with my right hand and I throw the yarn but I will continue to practice. Both of you are very good teachers. I know because I am a retired teacher.
This was excellent! Thank you so much, Arne and Carlos. 🧶
Perfectly delivered Carlos... I got it 👍 can't wait to start. Thank you 💐
I love love love this. Tension in the left hand made easy
Great!
Just learned the Norwegian knit. I have been knitting the same way since I was 8. So 50 years ago. I am working on my first Lopapeysa. So getting lots of practice. It will be interesting to try this style once I am on the yoke. Thank you thank you this was a great lesson. Apparently you can teach an old dog new tricks
You are welcome, and we should never stop learning!
