That brought tears to my eyes. I have two wonderful grown sons who are doing well and are compassionate, respectful, and so funny. May you be similarly blessed with your son.
I absolutely love your tutorials,podcasts and videos. You portray an almost utopian life together in Norway. I love your videos on knitting,crochet,cookery and gardening. Your home is an absolute credit to the both of you.xAngela
Another perfect video to add to my list of favourites. Being new to sock knitting you explained the instructions very well Carlos. Thank you to you both.
Thank you for the "Pairfect" yarn...it takes all the thinking out of it for you!! Talk about "mindless Knitting"!! I love it and the yarn is sooooooooooo beautiful and soft!! Nice on the hands and the feet!! Thank you for taking the time to think it out..so we don't have to do the thinking...instead we get the fun part!! ;0)
I have never knitted a cuff down sock, and needed a size 13 for my son. I wound the two half’s of the Pairfect so the toe yarn became the beginning, and then knitted the sock toe up. I ended up with size 14’s (which was fine since my son uses a hot dryer), and I used a Sweet Tomatoe Heel for simplicity (STH is worked the same up or down!). I think this yarn works terrific backwards for the larger men’s sizes. The challenge would be decreasing how many grams of toe yarn for the smaller sizes. (You could leave the toe end open, and later frog what length you didn’t need, and kitchner the toe closed.)
I’m receiving my first skein of this today in the mail. I’m so excited. I found the yarn on Etsy and then I was googling instructions on how to use it so I could be ready and I found your channel. Now I’m hooked and watch at least two old episodes a day! You are both amazing and fantastic!
How did I miss this video lol. I have several balls of Pairfect. On my second pair, however, this ball is different from other ball. This video answered my concern. Thank you. Great video as usual. Left over yarn, granny squares 😂😂. 🧶🧶🇨🇦
Our knit and natter group have an “ under the sea” project for the shop window display so I am going to use mine to create in crochet some small tropical fish. I think the colours will be great! X Angela
I am rally curious to see what you both will do with the left overs. I use the left over sock yarn to knit Arne and Carlos birds, with the „pairfect yarn“ the result is surprising, and I keep the yellow thread to crochet the beak. Thank you for your inspirational videos😍
Mini socks. Christmas decorations. Clothes for dolls/toys. Crochet/knit mini squares or hexagons for a blanket or cushion. Pom-poms. Hat, mittens or a scarf. So many possibilities!
I always make baby-socks with the leftover yarn. But I believe you already know this idea. since you made a video about it in April. Tiny socks are one of my favorite things to make, because my grandmother always liked to do that.
I love knitting socks! I’m going to have to buy some of this yarn and give it a whirl. You guys are always patient and helpful. BTW, I understood your directions in the first video. ; )
I bought a lovely skein of this. Since I knit 2 socks at once on one long circular, I plan to: - pull out from center until I get to the yellow discard yarn. This ball should be my yarn for sock A. Cut yarn after yellow ends. - use a “ yarn bra” for sock B to keep yarn neat, and continue to pull yarn out from the center of this original skein for my second sock. - knit 2 at a time
Hello Kathryn Stewart, how on earth do you do it? Knitting two socks at a time on one circular needle ....it’s a year ago you you wrote this, but girlfriend I need to know how you do this ,I knit for the needy and cancer patients with Arne & Carlos yarn ....the best !
For leftover yarn uses: I like traditional Christmas. There is so much one can do with the bright yellow for children with hats and gloves for gifts. One can use the yellow yarn for replacing the wires on ornaments as I lose more of those ornament hangers every year. I've made crocheted stars to decorate the tree. There is a granny square pattern I've seen to make a multicolored Christmas tree skirt. Easter, pom-poms of yellow yarn can make Easter chicks for children's Easter baskets. Yellow is pretty in an autumn display as these days wreathed are used on doors not just for Christmas but with the changing season. Once could use the raspberry stitch and make an ear of corn, for example. I always give things away. To keep using my hands with knitting keeps both my heart and attitude young. I watches a couple of women over a hundred years old who are still knitting and they are right in their minds. There is no drug that can do that. But we can knit ourselves happy and by giving to others what we make, gives a real sense of fulfillment.
I save all of my leftover yarns and, matching them by gauge, knit scarves. You start with one leftover and knit until done than start on the next. I don't worry about colors just keep knitting. Have knit several scarves thisccway and always get complements.
Realised I never create for myself but this time I'm going to knit my first ever sock for me! Bought your yarn in Sydney, Newtown actually, whilst teen dgtr in nearby hospital in a really bad way. It was middle of pandemic 2021 and cases all around us, in our motel etc, which could easily have threatened our ability to visit her. Was scary. Finally it's time for me.
Like your postcast every time. I always use the leftovers for my minisocks I share (you remember?;)) to promote the knitting. ((Bye from the Netherlands))
A year or two ago I knitted two pairs of socks with Regia which I still have. Unfortunately, carried away by my success, I went back to the retailer and purchased a very reduced- price ball of Regia in the "Seconds" section which had come undone a little this was a disaster and I got in a very time consuming muddle before giving up ! However now I shall start another pair keeping to the rules so clearly explained by yourselves !
I knit top down afterthought heel so I guess I can cut off the blue yarn where heel is and continue in the design part and finish to and then take blue yarn I cut and do the heel. I have a big foot size 42 but like a shorter rib at top so i guess i would have to cut some yarn off. Him I'll see if my yarn shop has this yarn. Thx for video! I am learning to do an afterthought thumb on mittens...lol..
I’m a sock knitter and the way I made it work was with a ball winder I unwind the whole skein then rewind it so then I can work my toe up 🧦. It works like a champ and you knit up until you ran outta yarn. You still get the same pattern.
When Arne says he does two rows of the blue-- does he mean in the round or just for the heel? How does he avoid the hole in the corner? Otherwise this is my favorite pattern and these are my favorite designers. I even mastered the Norwegian purl as a combination knitter whose roots are in Eastern Europe and Ireland.
Hi, there are more reasons for me for picking the yarn from the inside, if the ball goes down to the soil (some times it happens), although the labour look better than picking the yarn from outside. That I wonder is how can I know at the point of the ball yarn must be started the second sock
I love the concept. I have never finished a pair of socks in my life. I have made at least 100 sweaters/pullovers/jumpers, no socks. This might be the pair.
So you can’t knit two socks at the same time on magic loop? Could you rewind the ball of yarn into two balls starting each ball with the solid color for the cuffs?
knittingchick50 Regia Pairfect isn’t set up for two socks at the same time, unfortunately. However, you can buy two balls of yarn and do them at the same time from cuff down, which means you’ll end up with 2 pairs.
Yes: follow directions on skein by pulling yarn from within. Roll the yarn for the first sock into a ball, THEN REWIND THE BALL so you will be starting with the cuff yarn. For sock #2, begin knitting by using the original Pairfect skein, pulling from the inside.
If you want to do that, we suppose it's fine, but that's a lot of work, unwinding and rewinding, it seem so meaningless to us to do that, when one could be using that time for knitting instead! Why not just knit them one at a time and enjoy the knitting for as long as it lasts?
I use a ball winder to make the process less than 5 minutes, and then knit one sock at a time as you suggest, thinking of the recipient with every stitch. When knitting size 13-14 men’s, I wish I could knit fast like you do!
BergletteMom Yes. Pull yarn from inside. Cut yellow thread. Knit first sock. Continue pulling yarn until yellow thread again. Cut and knit second sock.
I need to find or make sox with that nice rib at the top and no elastic. Nowadays, there is always elastic and I just can't use it. Recently I got some very cool shoes with orthotic inserts, so my walking is much better. Now I need some great sox. Maybe this will do it.
How much yarn you leave as a tail, before starting the sock cuff, after cutting the yellow, for 64 St cast on ? I tried and design it's about 2-3 stitches off
I've had a horrible start to my sock !! I don't know how to do the strange cast on and when I pulled the yarn from the middle I got a great tangled ball. Patience, I will overcome !!!
Hello from North Carolina, USA! I LOVE your videos! Purling has always kept me from knitting as much as I wanted ...until I taught myself the Norwegian way by watching your videos! Thank you so much! I prefer making socks on DPNs and have recently found the method for doing two socks at once on DPNs. (It seems to be a double knit, really). I was wondering if you would consider doing a tutorial for this method? I’ve tried following other videos, but I end up getting lost. Also, could you cover in a bit more detail, how you are holding your yarn in order to control the tension? I have found that with the Norwegian method my stitches are very loose and bordering on messy. How do I correct this? Sorry for so many questions and thanks again for the wonderful tutorials!
does each skein of this yarn make 2 average size socks? Or is it one skein per one sock ? I'm wondering if I would have enough yarn in one skein for 2 identical LARGE socks? Thanks. Love your videos.
I'll take my leftovers and put some of them in my bee keeper's quilt, or keep them for future cuffs/toes/heels, or add them into a Sockhead hat or make an odd pair of socks
I just bought (online) 2 identical balls of Pairfect for kids. At the time I didn’t realize it’s for cuff down, and also didn’t realize it is the “for kids”. I have small feet, size 37 shoe, 9 inch long foot, 8-1/2 inch circumference. Will this kids yarn work for my size feet?
Gary Harvey You would wind the first ball (for sock # one), then REWIND it so you start at the correct end. Your second sock would be used out of the original Pairfect skein.
Gary Harvey Regia Pairfect isn’t set up for two socks at the same time, unfortunately. However, you can buy two balls of yarn and do them at the same time from cuff down, which means you’ll end up with 2 pairs
My grandson is in the Marines, i just ordeted a solid color as close to the military drab. What do you suggest for a color. It has to be 75/25. Thank you.
Ha! Ha! Ha! You two crack me up! Love the Pairfect yarn and love both of you. I will hunt on your page to see if you have any tips for closing the toe ...PERFECT..without those ugly ears than seem to want to pop out.
Is it so that alot of yarns with gauge 20-22 stitches/ 10 cm and 4-5 mm needlies gets gauge around 30 stiches / 10 cm with 2.5 mm needles, I mean it does not need to be a very fine yarn?
Making a couple of pairs of kiddy socks for Christmas using your regia pairfect kids color. What a fun and interesting concept and pattern! My project for this entire day has been researching how to knit the Boomerang aka German short row heel! I’m really having trouble with this method since I’ve always made a heel flap and gusset and am familiar with that method. I heard you say in this podcast that you can actually make the socks without requiring the german short row method?? Please please confirm this for me Carlos!! I’m sitting here with half completed socks waiting for confirmation on the heels?! Thank you thank you in advance. 💖⭐️
I’m knitting your pairfect socks for my son ; I selected them ‘cause I like to knit while praying (asking that God guides his steps through life. ). i don’t have to think meaning im Able to concentrate in getting on tune with the Higher Being. Thanks, QueDios proteja su amor. Pareja maravillosa

I made a pair of tiny fingerless mittens for my daughter using the leftovers! She has very thin hands, so it was pairfect too!
Excellent explanation! Makes “pairfect” sense 😀

This yarn absolutely amazes me! Fabulous colours. Thanks Arne and Carlos xx
Thank you!
I love this yarn !! This yarn does all the work for you!!

Genius ! This yarn is perfect (Pairfect).

I think the left over Yarn is going to be a patchwork blanket! How fun!
love you guys...this is so much fun watching your videos

Hi guys love your work and your helpfull videos I would use the left over for a blanket
I have done the first sock, love it!
Well done!
Love your podcast .
You guys are adorable and the perfect yarn is genius, excited about loom knitting a pair with my first Pairfect.

Awesome yarn ❤
fantastic colours love you video.
Hi Arne & Carlos. I use leftover Regia for christmas balls.
The bright yellow marker yarn is good for waste yarn for afterthought heels and thumbs. It contrasts with the working yarn.
Thank you for sharing
I get it, but I have an aversion to things like this. Thank you for explaining.
You are welcome.
Thank you. Oh...which pattern is cuff down, please?
The pattern is cuff down, the sock is designed like that.
@@ARNECARLOS thank you, I had the spiral sock pattern but I bought *all of them* now so have found the one that suits the pairfect yarn. hooray!
Like your postcast every time.
I always use the leftovers for my minisocks I share (you remember?;)) to promote the knitting.
((Bye from the Netherlands))
It’s fun to do a scrappy set of socks because your leftovers are in twos so the socks will match but they will be the scraps from any other socks
👍🏻

You can add the next videos with closed caption, plis. You are both unbelievable!
Love your sock yarn! Pattern calls to cast-on 62 - will the sock work w/ less, for example 56 cast on?
I made mine to up with an afterthought heel so the color for the heel matched.
No I didn't cut it. Not extra work to me. Socks match.....just not like the picture.
thanks for this video...I have to ask...Carlos...about the sweater he is wearing in this...I LOVE IT...did you make it and Can I get the pattern?...
Hi Arne…how do you knit without looking at the project? Thank you, both of you for your video.
When Arne says he does two rows of the blue-- does he mean in the round or just for the heel? How does he avoid the hole in the corner? Otherwise this is my favorite pattern and these are my favorite designers. I even mastered the Norwegian purl as a combination knitter whose roots are in Eastern Europe and Ireland.
great to see this..so do you use one ball for each sock then?
Doreen Collins I’ve checked this out online. One skein makes two socks.
Hi, there are more reasons for me for picking the yarn from the inside, if the ball goes down to the soil (some times it happens), although the labour look better than picking the yarn from outside. That I wonder is how can I know at the point of the ball yarn must be started the second sock

Look at reply on more recent post
So, one additional question I have is how do you know where to start the second sock? Is there more yellow yarn in the middle of the skein?
BergletteMom Yes. Pull yarn from inside. Cut yellow thread. Knit first sock. Continue pulling yarn until yellow thread again. Cut and knit second sock.
I need to find or make sox with that nice rib at the top and no elastic. Nowadays, there is always elastic and I just can't use it. Recently I got some very cool shoes with orthotic inserts, so my walking is much better. Now I need some great sox. Maybe this will do it.
Another question dears, does one knit two socks from one pelote (woolball) and if so, where to start for the second sock?????
By the way, love your videos!

What size needle do you gentlemen use for the pairfect sock yarn?
You can find more info and details on our website arnecarlos.com
@@ARNECARLOS so what size needle do you use?
My grandson is in the Marines, i just ordeted a solid color as close to the military drab. What do you suggest for a color. It has to be 75/25. Thank you.
Thanks boys! I think the leftovers are just perfect for a blanket! Or cushions, or birds, christmas balls, mittens, or scrappy socks! Am I right? ;-)

Is it so that alot of yarns with gauge 20-22 stitches/ 10 cm and 4-5 mm needlies gets gauge around 30 stiches / 10 cm with 2.5 mm needles, I mean it does not need to be a very fine yarn?
Are you thinking regarding this yarn?
