Thank you Cara!
I love your positive attitude about not being so hard on yourself! I tell my knitting students there are NO knitting police! You’re supposed to be having fun not stressing out about things being perfect. Thank you for your encouragement.
"We really don't care." The voice of reason. Thank you. Also some people seem to think that frogging an entire project for one tiny mistake is worthy of praise and that the degree of perfectionism required is something to be proud of.
Note to self: Must try Prym needles.
Thank you for watching!
Nancy Johnston love my prym needles...light and white 😂😂
I think it depends. I’d never frog an entire project for one mistake unless I’d changed my mind and didn’t want to finish it - I balk at frogging then restarting! Perfectionism has its place but I don’t think it’s required for every single thing you make.
Hi guys its so nice to meet you, and your art.Good wishes from Türkiye.
Thank you Nancy! I’m guilty of obsessing to make my work “perfect,” and it never is. I have a friend who rips and rips and rips and rips,and her work is exquisite, but I am not her. I need to keep I’m my mind to have fun and not sweat the small stuff.
Another reason to love you guys! Thank you for you attitude towards knitting and life. Yes, knitting or any craft should be enjoyable and relaxing. PS: I think Prym will be selling out after the Arne and Carlos endorsement. 👍🏼🧣🧶❤️
I know I ordered some Prym needles after the video, so you are right about the sell out!
Another great feeling Sunday afternoon! I don't think you two fully understand just how relaxing and calming you are to knitters & crocheters. I absolutely love my Sundays with you guys! Thank you so much.
Another great knitting hack that is simple and WORKS. (I immediately tested it!) Arne, you have a unlimited store of simple solutions. Thanks for sharing. It was great seeing the two of you again this fine day. My Sundays are enhanced by our quality time!
Perfect solution. Hand made anything should not be perfect. Love you two you make me smile.🙋
Thank you Janika
"Its not a problem" " Look, look!" I was knitting and stopped in my tracks laughing out loud. Thank you so much not only for the laughter but also for the review of PRYM. I was curious about these needles. Now I will relax.....
Wondering how many more years I'll have to knit before I can take my eyes off my work like Arne. That's astonishing.
Thank you Ade, and you have a few more years of practicing!
I think it took me about 12 years! And I knit almost every day.
@@rebeccabilly7466 after a year, I've got the no-look knitting down, for a few stitches at a time. Still trying to get there with purling!
Thank you for reminding me that it is knitting and being happy should be the rule. Loved it when you said we just don’t care.
Thank you!
Totally agree. Im working on a sweater now and the jogless doesn’t look much better than just not worrying about it. Seams are ok. I am curious how the raglan part of the sweater will work but this is my first sweater so i’ll cross that bridge when I get there. Love your videos.
I so love your down to earth practical approach to knitting. When I knew I wanted to do some colourwork knitting I watched videos and they all go on about dominant yarn and how you have to knit to avoid that, then I watched a video by The Knitting Man who said he doesn't worry about it and neither do Arne & Carlos and so I just do it anyway I can which at the moment is slow and awkward, but I am doing it. I am using Jamieson & Smith yarn with 2.25 needles (only way I can get the hat to pattern to fit my very small head) so it is not the best first project but, hey, I do like a challenge in my knitting! Thank you for making this jogless thing go away for me. Also thanks for the info on Prym needles. They sound like a good idea for old eyes and arthritic hands! 😀❤
😊Love the Arne said "but this one not slippery" he can be soo cute. Thank you for this video and common sense approach to knitting.
Thank you for watching Shirley!
🙋🏻♀️love your sense of humor, Arne. Carlos, thank you for the wonderful information. Love you two!
Guys I so love your relaxed attitude about life and knitting. It is what made me fall in love with knitting. Thanks for this. You answered all my questions about the needles. I had all those problems Arne spoke about. I was always scratching my finger with the needle and poking myself when I pushed my needle with my index finger on my right hand. You guys are so amazing!!! Thanks for another wonderful video! Have a great week! hugs!
Thank you for your nice comment!
🌹Thank you Arne and Carlos you answered all my questions 😘😘😘😘😘🤗🤗🤗🤗 I knitted my husband a hat that you showed us😉 the how to, I loved it !!!, I always knit him a new hat to go with the colors of the new snowmobile or snowmobile garment😎 I knit or crochet him a hat always. I need to knit my self one🙄 I need a pink one, Arne and Carlitos thank you for everything you teach us⚘ and best of all taking the time to record a video 😘😍🤗🤗🤗🤗☺😉🌷
Imperfections are quite lovable on hand made items, took me a while to accept some just are going to be. So even though I do not knit I will celebrate stripes that do not match, with a cup of coffee 😂 💖
Thank you for saying you don't care about that tiny flaw ! I switched to Arne's method of knitting after discovering your channel and it has been so much easier on my joints so now I will look for those needles as well. Looking forward to your shop, and thank you for another great video ! Have a wonderful week ,
I absolutely love the Prym ergonomic needles. I have about 8 pairs now. I came across them sometime last year by accident but I can’t seem to use anything else but these!! They are truly the best needles I’ve ever knitted with. Everyone must try them at east once 🤗🥰👏🏻🇨🇦
Thank you, Arne and Carlos!!! Have a great week!!!
I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for reminding us all to just enjoy our knitting.
You both are delightful and inspiring! I always feel better after watching one of your videos.
Arne is so funny! Love you guys! Thank you for sharing!
Must try those needles. I agree about your views on knitting. Nobody has ever noticed any “imperfections “ in the gifts I’ve given them. They are always so happy and enjoy the items.
Phew!!! I love that you "don't care". Now, I don't either. So. I will be knitting more stripes now. This is why you make me happy.
Briliant to make an fun and entertaining video about how NOT to worry about jogs ;-)) I love it.
Never worried about them myself. Enjoy your Pryms. I certainly enjoy them for knitting socks.
Bye! JoAn (Wolhalla)
I just love you two. Thanks for all your friendly chatter and happy faces. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
oh finally, others that don't care!! I am totally on the don't care side! but I did enjoy Arne showing the sewing tail trick, ty! and Carlos, brilliant as usual and Arne you make me giggle.
Well as they say - a blind man would be pleased to see the join!
Thank you for watching!
I love you two!!!! It’s just knitting!!!! Why do we over complicate things. You two inspire us to knit and love the process. ❤. Worry less and enjoy the process more.
Sooo many thanks for your advice, Arne and Carlos. I knit a lot on the round and jogless stripes were an issue for me. You make my Sundays happy. Hugs from Madrid ❤
Glad to be able to help!
I love my Prym needles. They are even better in every way that you explained. Once you try them you will not ever want to knit on anything else and I have A LOT of money invested in Addis. Thanks so much for teaching me to knit ergonomically and now with these amazing needles.
Glad to help!!
I discovered Lykke needles last year at my LYS, and now I use nothing else. They are made from drift wood. They are a little pricy, about $10 usd, but so so so worth every stinking penny!!!! My tension improved, and the cords are so perfect and I don't have to fight with them, or run an iron over them to straighten them first. Lykke come out of the package absolutely perfect. I also started using the crochet hooks too. Also, I love "we don't care" I LOL'd. I love your approach to that. :)
I have been enjoying your videos for some months now but with this one, you have officially become my heroes, by saying out loud what I have determined about the jogless stripe issue. Liberate yourself from the worry! I have to say, though, that when I sew I do match plaid at the seam whenever possible. Once I even did it (mostly) on a princess seamed dress. I was so proud, but I am sure no one else noticed.
I have very old needles that I used when I was in high school over 40 years ago. I like pretty needles. I may try different ones in future
Thank you for a minnesota knitter who also doesn’t care about jogs! (But I always felt I should care)Now I can be myself, with both of you!
Those ergonomic needles seems great. About the stripes if you don’t care about it I won’t either. 🙂 You are right , who cares.The cowl is beautiful. ❤️🌹😘
Genius! I love you guys. You’re good for my blood pressure!!!!!😊
This is the best! Was freekin out because i wanna knit stripes with 9 colours, couldn't find a way in all youtube videos, now im just relaxed after watching these, and enjoy knitting again! 👍👍my solution? Think you don't wanna hear: i just knit 3 stitches with 2 strands the end or beginning of the row. Who cares? 😎😘
You both looking great like Arne sweater pattern . I will make one for my g kid. Thank you so much. May God Almighty be with you both.
As always love your postings and those needles 🤗. Went to Webs last Monday and purchased that great sock yarn, lots of color choices. Have a wonderful week. Keep those needles clicking. 🤣
Love your tutorials!
Love such a simple logical solution! I'm not a fan of stripes but am happy to have this information.
I’m just amazed to see men interested in knitting and crocheting in modern times (and they’re pros). As far as the perfect alignment of stitches on a seam when knitting stripes, I’m definitely one of those folks who does care about it, and not so much because it’s off by a millimeter, but because it’s noticeable. And if I notice it, then others will notice it. And the “others” who will notice it are most likely clueless about knitting, but will deem the garment defective and uneven.
I completely agree with your philosophy of knitting. As an instructor, I have to frequently tell my students, “it is what it is”. I love your analogy to a sewn garment. Knitting is supposed to be the enjoyable part of your day! Thank you for this tutorial.
That’s very true! Things are hard enough. You two are fun! Thank you for making me smile.
😀
New knitter here! Been learning on my own during COVID and I stumbled across this video while going down another "it must be perfect" you tube rabbit hole, and hearing "We really don't care" was so refreshing. Perfectionism is a curse! Also, thank you for sharing the Prym needles, I'll be looking for those. I've got sore fingertips from very pointy bamboo needles so I'm excited to find better alternatives!
I genuinely love the attitude you guys have, SO POSITIVE! I completely agree, we are all too hard on ourselves. The tip is excellent though and one I have come to on my own after many years. Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge and the encouragement to all of us.
Love it. Got to try these needles. Have a great evening
Love it, you guys are so down to earth! Thank you, there are a lot more important things and would love to try those needles!
Arne, I love your sense of humour about the "unboxing" of the knitting needles. Next you'll have to do a "haul" video showing us what you've bought, lol! Great tip about not caring about the jogs.....your easy going approach is very refreshing. Must look for Prym Ergonomics. I bought a set of double pointed Pryms when I was in Norway last year, but have yet to use them.
Thank your your comment!
I bought these last year for a project and thought they were so innovative. I like them.
The voices of reason!! 👏🏼👏🏼🐨🐨
Thank you!
Thank you for this! I’ve been knitting a tube scarf, and I’ve been using a technique where I knit the last stitch in the round again with the new color, then go knit the next round and the pick up the last loop (in the new color) and then knit them both together. It makes a jogless loop, but I think next time, I’ll just leave it and sew in the ends like you guys did.
Those Prim needles look really cool, I’ll definitely look into getting them the next time I need a new pair. Thanks again for the video, hope you two have a great week!
Mind over matter: if you don't mind, it doesn't matter. 🙂
Jr,com,@,567) the other two of us and the other two of them are coming to get there at you 😉👍 the kids room with the kids are going to go to bed early so we are going back to the other two of them were a minute to the car and we can get it in my room in the morning and the other one of them?
Oh thanks. Im just learning to knit. Im going to look for these needles.
Love watching y'all. Enjoy you both very much.
Just ordered from Joann's.. USA they have 3.00 shipping today
Hooray for the patterns!
So so enjoy tuning into you guys every week.
Lovely colours and the perfect knitted stitches are so gorgeous. Thank you Arne and Carlos xxx
Thank you for your nice comment Annie!
Thank you, great information. Can’t wait for your new patterns. Will pick up a pair of Prim needles this week to try😊😊🧶🧶🇨🇦
I love your relaxed approach to knitting. I have been wanting to try the Prym needles, and I think I will now give them a try.
Hi Lise. Once you try, I think you will like them. They are so light and comfy to hold and the best bit for me "No kinks in the cord".
That makes sense about just lining the stripes up when you weave in your ends. That’s what I’ll do and won’t fret about it anymore. Thanks so much.
What a fantastic attitude toward 'jogless' techniques - these always steal my joy for no benefit. So relieved to hear experts discuss why this is unnecessary!
Haha! Carlos! If I make a garment with stripes or plaids, I always match them when cutting out the fabric! Offset lines drive me nuts! Thank you for helping my sanity!
I totally stress about the strips. Thank goodness someone had a level head and says, “we don’t care”. Perfect!
Glad we can help!
hallelujah!!! Thank you l was freaking out about a hat with the same thing.
Oh l fixed it like Arne did.
But then l thought why worry the baby won't know or even care. Heh heh.
Oh yes" thank you two"for channel it was one of the few joys to get through the freezing winter.
Again you saved my Monday morning :-D
I sat threre with my houlders up by my ears, ready to learn some fancy way to make jogless stripes. And of course : You really don't care. Why should it be harder than necessary ? LOL
I adore your colour designs. These remind me a bit of my youth in the 50s, but they are also so 100% A&C !!!
So you gave me the energy to go jogging in the wood with my dogs, - no reason to be jogless ;)
Looking forward to see your shop .
Loved your video today. I think I will try to find those needles.
Oh my gosh! I just bought this pattern, and I love it! You guys are so generous! You put in a bonus pattern with it! I can't wait to get in on my needles! Thanks again for this awesome cowl pattern! Love you guys!
You are welcome, glad you liked it!
Good advice, relax and enjoy your knitting!! Thanks!!
I am such a fan of the two of you!
EASY ‼️ Thank you for sharing
Arohanui from Aotearoa New Zealand. Love you guys, and thanks you for teaching me how to knit Norwegian.
Just found your channel whilst searching for the “Jog” problem. Love the banter from both of you and as you say “ It doesn’t really matter”
Welcome to our channel Bob!
Thanks guys for demystifying the jogless stripes! Very cool! Love it!
We are glad you liked it!
Gracias por este magnífico tip
Love your sweater Arne!
Just what I needed ! I was getting so down on my jogs and goofy knits...this video lifted me up so much! Thank you!
Happy Sunday ( Sunday is always the best with you guys around). I tend to agree with you guys all that matters is you enjoy your knitting. Jog or jogless seems a lot of trouble to go for nothing really. Where was our Freja today just love the girl. You had me smiling today again. So I look forward to seeing you next Sunday, have a great week be good to each other sending you love and best wishes xx
Now I love you guys even more. Hurray for jogs in strips.
Love watching your podcast each Sunday.
Thank you for tuning in!
Fantastic idea. Thank you
Love your videos 😍. I have watched numerous videos on this subject, but was always afraid I'd screw it up. Love your version...will be using it. Thanks...you make knitting so much easier! ❤️❤️❤️
You guys are awesome. I love your philosophy about not stressing about making projects perfect. Thanks!
This is so helpful! Thank you!
Thanks so much for the info about Prim needles. They are the best!
Just what I needed to hear !!!
Thanks 😂
Outlast an answer that is most comfortable to live with. I appreciate your attitude. Getting to know you is a great gift. I have enjoyed using your yarn but only now far from home in quarantine I have come to meet the inspiration to the beautiful yarn I have been enjoying. Thank you for reminding me that life is about adaptation. Jogs in stripes are a sign of humanity. Thank you very much❤️🙏🏻❤️🌸🍀
You are welcome Carol!
ARNE & CARLOS PS I listened to your last quarantine video. You said you were going to take some time off to feel better. I hope you are feeling better and the residue of this COVID-19 virus will gradually and completely disappear from your system. May God bless you and as always many thanks. You are a breath of fresh air and joy❤️😊🌸🍀🌺💚🧶🧶🧶
Thanks to your tutorials, at 77, with covid/self-quarantine, I'm learning to knit. And you've given me my new mantra: Relax, enjoy your knitting... it's not the end of the world. Getting ready to make the Twined-Knit Hat.
Enjoy!
Love all your videos.
Thank you!
Prim knitting needles I'm looking these up. Thank you for sharing your information.
Oops I didn’t wait for your tutorial and YES the knewdles with the balls look Amazing ‼️🤩👍🇳🇴🇺🇸 thanks for the info 🐣
I love your attitude about this
Excellent! I’ve been overthinking the entire striping process!
I'm working on a pair of socks right now with my new Prym needles, they are fabulous! Thanks for sharing that info. And wonderful advice about jogless stripes - knitting (and other crafts) should bring joy, not stress, to your life :)
Great, good to be of help! Good luck with your knitting.
That’s a wonderful outlook for the seams! Thank you.
You are welcome!
love you two to bits! I adore these needles. And we are not getting older, we are getting better and more fabulous! Thank you...
Yes we are!
Thank you very much for your wonderful tips.😊
You are welcome!
I bought the Prym needles because of your suggestion. I love them! They’re wonderful to knit with.
We are so glad you like them!
Thank-you for your down-to-earth perspective on jogged and jogless stripes. I came searching here for your tips because I was frustrated with a jog in my poinsettia pattern on the Christmas Ball I am knitting (actually it's your pattern!). Now I think I will go easy on myself and the ball. 😉Much love to you both! ❤❤
perfect, so essy!
Thank You for Your tips. Good see You!
