I started knitting as a little girl, am now 76, have been knitting all these years and you just taught me something basic and so important. You are wonderful! Thank you.
Carlos, you look so sad. Have faith and believe that times will get better. As someone else said, as knitters we know how to pass time while protecting ourselves. You are both loved by many and your videos help to cheer us.
Hi Good Fellows, Earlier I mentioned that I have your pattern “EIR-Hat with Fish Bone”. The yarn 🧶 arrived yesterday and excited to get started. i need help with `the chart. I can read charts but need help help getting started. Most institutions give written notes and I need that. Could you write the 1st and 2nd rows ? This is a big favor to ask. Enjoying your quarantine podcasts. Thanks and stay well
Loved the tutorial! We're in self isolation here in Colorado. It's still snowing up here in the mountains, but our ski resorts have closed. We all need new hats! Sending love, happy knitting, and good health your way! ❤️
I learned the Norwegian way from Carlo and Arnie and badly broke my wrist a year and a half ago. Haven’t even attempted to knit or crochet since until last week. I figured I would have to relearn the Norwegian way, but no. I guess it’s like riding a bike. It is my favorite way to knit.
I think you are trying to explain ssk. When you ssk, you are supposed to slip as if to knit, slip as if to knit, then you can just put your left needle through the front and knit those together through the back loop just as you were doing. I am a continental knitter, so also hold my yarn in my left hand. This makes the stitches lay flat.
Thank you so much.🧶 Now I can finish my grandsons caps that they drew ( ages 9 and 7) how they each wanted theirs to look. I also wat to follow your patterns for myself .
Hello Arne! Hello Carlos! Your hair looks fantastic and both of your smiles are warm and kind! Thank you for sharing this very helpful video o decrease stitches; especially for your hat patterns. Have a wonderful week 💞
I have received a very large tote full of Lopi and Lite Lopi yarn in many colors. My first thought is a traditional sweater. I have never done color work. Is there anything else that would be nice to knit with this yarn?
this video is cute but you didnt actually show us how to decrease anything. you showed us how to make one color stand out when a color in a pattern matters. then at the end, you said you showed us how to decrease. You showed us a few versions with different hats, but just pointed out the differences. when do you show us how to DO the decreases??
We appreciate Arne's common sense and kind manner. Also, would you please consider making a video on how to knit a baby sweater? ....maybe for a 1 or 2 year old. :)
@@glauvie Hello! I have just 'knit up' Rowan's 'Snowberry' sweater and also a little vest, each from a blend of wool/acrylic/mohair [angora]. I am beginning another vest for our granddaughter who will be 1 year old next Mon. They live in Wisconsin and we are in Phoenix, AZ. :)
Fantastic video! Arne, I believe you demonstrated this technique on your Christmas ball video as well, but this demonstration on larger needles with bright orange and blue yarn made it very clear and easy to follow how to maintain a pattern while decreasing. Thank you! Can't wait for the knit along to start - something to look forward to while on "lockdown"!
Lol beautiful hats i love knitting hats just doing the ribbed hat now yes good idea it os nicer rust looking one is pretty blue is gorgeous just trying to get over the flu it was a bad one but coming back and knitting trying to do a moose hat later sorry picture of a moose on the hat lol
I’m knitting a 2x2 in the round knit blocks 2black 2white do you have any thoughts on how to decrease while keeping pattern? Thanks in advance if you can help. I love all your videos. You’ve taught me so much .
If I’m knitting in the Norwegian style with my working yarn in my left hand, and the pattern calls for a slip slip knit decrease, then is the 2 twisted together decrease the Norwegian equivalent?
thx for video! however how do you decrease when you are still working the colorwork and you have 2 pattern stitches or more in the row and you don't want the pattern skewed or crooked? Cuz in your video you had the main color and the pattern color side by side. I now figure out how many maximum rows of pattern I can have before I start the decrease with the background color so it doesn't interfere with the pattern.Thank you for a answer.
Not only are you guys teaching us how to knit the Norwegian way, you are also teaching us how to read your language. Very interesting 🧐 and always informative to learn how and why your country is not only beautiful but a knitters dream. Thanks so much.
Good evening my sweet boys hope thing are well will you and are you in quarantine like most of the world. Your hats are so beautiful and the many ways you have shown us to decrease for the crown is excellent. You both look so well and Arne.... Wow... Your English is improving by the week. Loved your modelling of the hats. Thank you making my day special. Take care of each other stay warm stay and safe stay clear of the virus and lots of cuddles for Freja. Thinking of all the Arne and Carlos family around the world stay safe out there. God bless us all and protect us
Happy Sunday kids❤my question is,,what type of yarn,size of yarn and needle size do you use?If only I could knit like Arne.The hats are all stunning..hugs from Milwaukee 🤗❤🧶
I fell in love with the Tordis hat and purchased it from your shop. I saw your Facebook Post that you are going to do a knit a long on TH-cam. Thank you so much!!! I am a teacher in Virginia Beach, Virginia and though school is closed, I must go to the school all day. Will the knit a long be posted so anyone can view it at any time? I really want to participate. I love being part of the Arne and Carlos family.
Arne, I love hearing you speak but I was wondering if there is any way you could have the terms in print when you are saying things like (k2tog) or (slip?) I didn't understand.
Hi Arne and Carlos. How are ya'll doing? Love your hats. Going to your website to order patterns. Thank you. also, thank you for the tutorial for decreases.
Goodness, the virus affected your cruises. And you are under quarantine! I do wish you a good 2 weeks in good health. Hugs and thanks for showing these lovely hats and giving tips.
Hi Arne and Carlos, Thanks for the great patterns and instructions - I find the "Tordis" hat especially intriguing because of its beautiful crown. Greetings from Germany and stay safe!
Hi Arne & Carlos! The few remaining people on the knitting tour are watching from our Bergen hotel lobby - they've tuned us in to TH-cam in the public lounge!! Even the front desk staff want to watch. 😀
I enjoy making hats and have for many years! Your patterns are lovely! I enjoyed seeing all of your beautiful patterned hats. :) Sharon from California
Very clear and concise explanations - thank you! However - I am eager for another chat video that is longer where you talk about anything and everything.
Love the hats, thanks for showing an easy way to decrease. Really looks good. Love your tutorials. Happy skiing guys. The hats look good on you both. Till next time have a great week.
Arne - Cannot tell you the impact you have had on my knitting. In this podcast you say 'use common sense' and that sometimes a simpler stitch looks just as well or better. It is *exactly* the habit of looking at your knitting and making incremental decision (even changes) that I've taken to heart from your teachings. Thank you. Knitting for 30+ years and really trying to improve each day. (Shauna in Seattle)
There is definitely a difference between 2kbl and the slip knit slip over.. 2kbl is tighter and more aesthetic IMO but then, depends on the needs of the pattern. Thank you for this video
Thank you, I wanted my next hat to decrease and look like a star so this video is perfect timing !! I hope you're finding ways to pass your time, looking forward to the daily podcasts we're going to get. Have a wonderful week !!
To avoid twisting you can slip slip knit tbl both together but the slipping part do it knitwise, not purlwise, so it changes the orientation of stitches and when you knit tbl doesn't look twisted. Those hats beanies are beautiful!!
Love you guys. It would be very helpful to see on the screen how the pattern names are spelled. I'm much more visual than aural, and it helps me greatly to associate what I'm hearing with the written word.
Thank you for this video. It is always so nice and relaxing to listen to your voices. I'm just learning fair isle. I've done a few hats and I'm obsessed with all the new designs in hats.
I started knitting as a little girl, am now 76, have been knitting all these years and you just taught me something basic and so important. You are wonderful! Thank you.
Hi A&C In Sweden we decrease the same way! Your hats is so beautiful! You always makes me happy! 😘😘❤️❤️
Glad your safely back home, looking forward to another knit along. Cruising with you was awesome. Lisa J from Phila
Always something new to learn from you two. You have brightened my day in these troubled times. Have a wonderful week

Hi Jean, could you please contact us through our website for any pattern related questions? Best wishes.
I love you two. I wish you were my neighbors. Even though i dont talk to my neighbors 😆 i have terrible social anxiety face to face.
We could wave from a distance.
You both are just wonderful! Thanks!❤
You must have read my mind. I have been trying to make sense of the “why” and you answered. Thank you!
You are welcome Sheri!
Hola!!! Hermoso trabajo.
Saludos desde Santiago de Chile en cuarentena ....
Hola!
I have always found that decreasing in fair isle was a bit of mystery and this was a great explanation/tutorial! Thanks guys!!
Great vid guys. How about a new LIVESTREAM in these troubeled times?
Thank you! We will do a knit along next week.
Thank you for this information. So sorry you all had to go into self isolation. Take good care, snuggle with Miss Freya and enjoy the quiet time.
Loved the tutorial! We're in self isolation here in Colorado. It's still snowing up here in the mountains, but our ski resorts have closed. We all need new hats! Sending love, happy knitting, and good health your way! ❤️
I'm super happy I found your channel. I've been crocheting for years and just starting to get into knitting and these are so helpful
Can you tell me what brand of needles you were using in this video? VERY HELPFUL video! New subscriber :)

Hello Arne! Hello Carlos! Your hair looks fantastic and both of your smiles are warm and kind! Thank you for sharing this very helpful video o decrease stitches; especially for your hat patterns. Have a wonderful week 💞
Always a pleasure to watch you two. Thank you for the wonderful information about decreasing and the names of the hats.
I have received a very large tote full of Lopi and Lite Lopi yarn in many colors. My first thought is a traditional sweater. I have never done color work. Is there anything else that would be nice to knit with this yarn?
Thank you, gentlemen, for the very helpful information you have provided here! I look forward to more of these types of videos! Take care. :)

I second this! I have baby sweaters on my mind too. Several gifts I wish to make while isolated in Michigan.

Can we use the back loop twisted stitch when decreasing the Christmas balls?
Thanks, will be trying on my next sock toe decrease.
All the hats are lovely great podcast love sent to you both and your dog hug and kiss sent.
While we are in house jail, appreciate your tutorials. Love all the hat patterns.
Thank you!
Lol beautiful hats i love knitting hats just doing the ribbed hat now yes good idea it os nicer rust looking one is pretty blue is gorgeous just trying to get over the flu it was a bad one but coming back and knitting trying to do a moose hat later sorry picture of a moose on the hat lol
What would you call those type of designs on the hats? The patterns?
Just learning to knit, and just can't praise your tutorials enough. Thanks to both of you.
Could you please show how to decrease 3 statues together with different ways
What a wonderful video, so very well explained. You two are so amazing, thank you for all you do!
I already have all 5, need to finish my sweater before I start hats. Have a great evening.
Enjoy your evening1
I’m knitting a 2x2 in the round knit blocks 2black 2white do you have any thoughts on how to decrease while keeping pattern? Thanks in advance if you can help. I love all your videos. You’ve taught me so much .
I should add it’s a checker pattern
I need to find out how to decrease so the top is flat. Not pointed. I will look to see if you have that.
Those hats are BEAUTIFUL! I crochet, going to see if you have crocheted ones!
Thank you! We only have knitted hats, but we have alot of other crochet projects.
Best way to spend a quarantine! Or a “knitsolation” isolation time! You two always make me smile!
What kind of yarn did you use for those hats? They look so soft and cozy
Do u think starting a hat with a pi circle would work ?
If I’m knitting in the Norwegian style with my working yarn in my left hand, and the pattern calls for a slip slip knit decrease, then is the 2 twisted together decrease the Norwegian equivalent?
You knit the two stitches together
Have a wonderful day. It has actually been cold enough to wear my knitwear of late in Southern California ! ✌🏻❤️🧶
Good news!
thx for video! however how do you decrease when you are still working the colorwork and you have 2 pattern stitches or more in the row and you don't want the pattern skewed or crooked?

Like the brown hat mans name-would like to see more that color and also afaghan and pillows that color-Arnie the best haircut you’ve had
Thank you Louise.
I love your hats. Do you have yarn kits for the hats? I'm terrible at deciding which colours to use.
We do not have kits
Can you do a segment obn how to make a felted hat?
Brown and beige hat would make beautiful pillows or afaghan design -need to make more sweaters using those colors
Thank you for the suggestion Louise.

I’m using super bulky yarn for a hat. It was way too big. Do I go up or down on needle size ?
You should make a gauge swatch and see how many stitches you get with smaller needles, experiment.
Arne, I love hearing you speak but I was wondering if there is any way you could have the terms in print when you are saying things like (k2tog) or (slip?) I didn't understand.
Hi Arne and Carlos. How are ya'll doing? Love your hats. Going to your website to order patterns. Thank you. also, thank you for the tutorial for decreases.
