I love this grass roots video, set in your beautiful garden.
I'm going to make this blanket and loved hearing about your garden.
Arne and Carlos, I just want you to know that I have learned more about knitting from the both of you than anyone. You have made it so simple and taught me so much. I tried so many times to knit before but became frustrated and quit. Your tutorials have made it fun and easy for me. Now I just knit up a storm.
They are so neat to listen to,love them to pieces,everything they do is good.Would make someones life better to know them.
I don’t know which I love more -listening to your gardening escapades and/or knitting tips! God bless u two wonderful people!
HI guys, just want to say I think you guys are amazing, love watching you both, you make my day happy....💞
I love the philosophy you have about colour. All the colours in the blanket and the one's people pick out are all found in nature. If you look around you'll notice mother nature doesn't worry if reds go with green and they do because it's all there in nature. Garter stitch is family friendly too. Rugged. It's a great project to relax with.
I really enjoy the way you approach life... very refreshing.
I had quite a lot of sock wool, which was not strong enough for socks. Thanks to you, now I have a wonderful blanket instead ! But on top of that, you have tought me not to be so scared of mixing colours. Putting different colours together can give quite amazing results . Thankyou very much, dear guys .
Love, love, love you guys!! I now know how to knit by watching Arne. Great blanket!😊
You two are SO charming, talented and inspirational. Thanks to you, I'm digging out all the bits and pieces and digging in. I wish you continued success and thank you for showing that men can be just as creative as us women. (But, my husband still isn't interested in knitting or crochet! That's okay - he has his own talents and he's very encouraging and accepting of mine. Can't wish for more than that, right?)
hello I'm new to your channel and loving them, I was watching you knit blankets, i find it easier to crochet them in SC stitch
What a great, yet simple idea for blankets! I love how they look when they are finished. I will definitely start one. Thank you for sharing :)
I'd like to see more garter stitch ideas!
I truly adore you two and your lovely podcast !
I just found your channel. I love it. Thank you.
You guys are absolutely precious...in Love!
I love this idea, nothing wrong and nothing right. I am going to embroider a panel saying this phrase with Columbines scattered about, frame it and hang it in my sewing room.
Very very beautiful all your work ~~~
I have just come across this video. I would love to knit this blanket with all my left over yarns. What I would like to know is how to join in the new yarn on each row so that there is not hundreds of loose ends to sew in. Your answer would be much appreciated. Thank you for sharing this free video. 😊
You all are so precious! Thank you very much for sharing this video on knitting! I too enjoy knitting myself, and would love to learn how to make a blanket! How long should the cord be on circular knitting needles, and how many stitches again? I know that one of you said 200.
awesome blankets I do this a lot for baby size
love your blankets..i dont color coordinate either, i love just picking a color and then go with it..
Just subscribed, you two have voices that calm me, thank you for great videos! I’m going to be making an Afghan using a chunky yarn and going to try 250 stitches in length like you say because I need it a bit longer anyway, hoping it’ll be 6 foot long at least but whatever happens, happens lol.
Thank you for subscribing Barb!
I love to watch to you 2,iT relax me.thank you,greetings from belgium
Hi I love the variety you two have! I cross stitch too! I’m more of a crochet person and learning to knit more so that’s why I just found your videos. I love garter Stitch stockinette is ok but don’t like curling I like seed but takes a lot to concentration. Garter is very meditating for me. For stash yarn did you use heavy or light fingering wt ?or DK ? When you cast on why is it length instead of width like I do with crochet?
I’m very curious because I’m new and want to make a blanket yours are beautiful I like to crochet stash yarn sitting outside but don’t have such a lovely view yet I’m moving soon and will. Thank you I’m glad I found you channel 💗
love you guys!!!
Nice video; I'm currently knitting a blanket with various neutrals and shades of blue.
Thank yoi Andie, your colour choice is ver nice.
You two are adorable and I would love to make a blanket but its just too big!
Delightful!!
Love it, 5 trees.
❤️

When knitting this type of blanket, can you mix different weights of yarn or does it all have to be the same weight? Love your videos! So glad I found them. You are both so talented.
Hi I love knitting so much my hubby thinks it's an obsession. I love how simple this blanket is and think I'm going to give it a go tonight. I just want to know - It looks like you are only knitting one row for each colour - would that be right? What do you do with all the ends - Do you weave then in?
Hi from Australia , Iam loving your podcasts. I was wondering why you are using circular needles to knit a blanket? Are circulars easier on the hands and arms as I always use straight needles for everything.
Love this blanket! I knitted a garter blanket but on the bias which was fun, but where there are wool joins it has started to unravel and create holes. Any tips on how to patch it up?
Hi. guys. talk. about. blankets. I. am. making. blanket. it. is. green. and. white. blanket.
Hello
This is more than just garter stitch! Do you weave in the ends or carry them over?
Greetings oooooh I wish I had a garden
Is there anything you do to get good selvedge edges, mainly when changing colors?
This was so enjoyable to watch and listen to! May I ask, which cast on and bind off methods do you use for this blanket/what is your recommendation?
I haven't been actively knitting in a few years. I would like to get back into it and do something simple, enjoyable, and comforting.
Thanks Arne and Carlos! 😊
We usually use the long tail cast on and bind off: we have a tutorial here: th-cam.com/video/3nNamgs7fwE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hci2O1mX2sQwIvYK
@@ARNECARLOS Thank you Arne and Carlos! I just went to check out the tutorial, but the link is incorrect- it was a Disney commercial that played instead.
Good grief Arnie, your lightning fast! You guys are a blast to watch, everything you make turns out beautiful!
Roxane Welsh very nice
hi arne and carlos i was wondering if you could help me with a pattern i found that i really want to do but i'm confused on 2 of the rows, it says cast on 4 then knit 2 rows then the rest of the rows knit 2 yarn over knit right across till you get the required number of stitches then on row 4 and 5 it says knit 2 turn knit 2 turn and that's the bit i'm stuck on as i've seen other videos on youtube that do the turn and wrap but haven't found any that just say knit a number of stitches then turn though so if you could help me out i would be so very grateful thank you
what size needle can you use to knit the blanket
How do you get a neat edge when working garter stitch this way?
Please teach thrumming, if your familiar with it, thanks!
is 210 loops okay for a twin blanket
Can I do the free squares with a border of garter stitches? Then the pattern in middle?
You can do it any way you like Karen.
@@ARNECARLOS ok I will Tusen Takk
What size needle did you use?
+Hill turtle You can use any needle size with any yarn type for this blanket. It can be an aran weight, DK weight etc. Up to you to decide.
What size needles are you using please
Hi Snadra, on our website there is a vlog post that goes with this tutorial. There yoi find all the details
I want to knit a blanket for my boyfriend may I know how many stitches do I have to cast on for the single sized one?
The stitch number will be the same, you just stop at your desired length
@@ARNECARLOS thank you so much!!!💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
I wish I live next door to you both, but alas you would be tired of me as I would be forever popping round
Liz Morgan I share your sentiment. I love baking as well as knitting so if I was living next door to them I would use the excuse of giving them some freshly baked goodies just so I could pop by. 🍩🍪😻xAngela South Wales
We have problem growing columbines here. The soil here has lots of clay and they do not like that and might need a bit more shade to keep columbine happy and healthy.
Thank you!
i grow columbines and the soil here is quite clay-y, but the type i use is native to this area, you should look into native plants 😊
Can make lap blanket chain 100 stitch
Good idea!
Sometime when you are working socks or something with 5 needles, could you do a tutorial on how you hold the needles? I’m driving myself crazy trying to find a comfortable and efficient hold!
We have this one: th-cam.com/video/_GKe-PWu5rw/w-d-xo.html
@@ARNECARLOS this helps a little. I was looking for something with socks, but that ‘s ok. I think I’ll just let the needles find the space in my fingers and go with it. BTW, I love that you don’t fool around with 49 ways to join your knitting in the round, and instead just forge ahead & snug up when you work in the ends. That’s how Granny did it!♥️🎄
Use a Norway pattern to make
All our patterns are aviable on our website arnecarlos.com
Another crisis project..
Where you don't need to think
Thank you, it is quite a mindless project.
