Pleaseeee guys make more vids on working with multiple colours the Norwegian style, the method is just too comfortable for me and your the only guys i could find using it 🥺

@dorotheaarola1672 6 лет назад

OMG - that is why the little thread pokes thru! :-) Thank you for the lesson - love your videos.

@dorothygriffiths6626 6 лет назад

Arne your expertise as a knitter is a joy to watch, as master craftsman at work. I really enjoyed your post tonight Arne and Carlos, you both bring us all so much each week. A huge thank you to you both. Sending you warmest hugs and loves always. Dorothy xxxxxxxxxx🙋🏻😘❤️

@pegpage8618 6 лет назад

As always, I love your tutorials. I do a lot of colorwork, but am never happy with the way my colors show through on the right side of my work - even though I know this trick in not doing the floats on top of each other. My ultimate knitting goal though is to knit as well as Arne. ❤️

@terrywynn9767 6 лет назад

I used that time function on RU-vid so I could learn Norwegian purl! Thanks for this one.

@vickistretch7271 5 лет назад

Arne purls different than I do. I learned from my Norwegian grandma an I don’t do that many twists. Does it matter? I’ve been knitting for more than 50 years and I think my things look ok.

@lb1049 2 года назад

Norwegian purl is amaaaaaazing! I just studied it last night and it has changed my knitting life!

@iciclewrin 6 лет назад

Thank you both for a clear description and instruction on how to carry floats. The inside of my work will be much tidier now and I won’t snag one when putting a sweater on!

@memyselfandeye8377 6 лет назад

Wow...simple! I look forward to seeing you two! Xoxo

@aliiljah8224 4 года назад

Yes, that is "carry on". I really enjoy these videos of yours. I just love that urn that you have your flowers in on the table there, it is really pretty. I purchased some patterns of yours, I can't wait to get started on them. I'm working on a few other things right now,as soon as I am done I'll work on yours. Thank you for the video.

@ARNECARLOS 4 года назад

You are welcome Alicia!

@bettyr2319 6 лет назад

Spring is in that beautiful room with all of the plants and planters and dish collection. I look forward to and enjoy your videos tremendously. Also one can derive much more than just knitting information from each visit with Arne&Carlos. 😍😁

@paulaestcourt9184 6 лет назад

What a revelation! the slow down button is amazing. Arne and Carlos you never cease to amaze me. Your knitting brings back memories of the intricate jumpers my mother used to knit for us, she was from a place called Modena in Italy and enjoyed her skiing of course the jumpers were always very bright and colourful with some beautiful designs, and she never used a pattern.

@sheryltisdale 6 лет назад

Love your videos! Thank you, you guys make knitting so relaxing and fun!

@MsRealYankee 6 лет назад

@carroleemayhugh4357 6 лет назад

@Mindfulnessification 6 лет назад

Thanks for your lovely comment!

@CrispyStitcher 3 года назад

Thank you for this video! I have been playing with your Quarantine blocks and catching floats the way most knitters recommend and kept seeing the the colors peeking through. I remembered that Arne showed how he did this and tried his method. I couldn't be happier with the results. Its a bit more fiddly with my style of knitting stranded, but well worth the effort.

@ARNECARLOS 3 года назад

We are so glad that you found this method useful!

@paulettemcwaters8557 5 лет назад

Thank you, very clear instructions and very enjoyable and encouraging.

@susangwerner 4 года назад

My patches are getting better & better the more I do the more I learn. By the end I Hope I can knit like Arne 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

@ARNECARLOS 4 года назад

Keep up the good work!

@jeribianca9013 6 лет назад

Thank you for the weekly videos! This one will get us started practicing for Knit Stars 3 and the Master class you two will be presenting. I love watching Arne's technique. I always see something new or different. XX

Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching!

@Giantkiller130-t 5 лет назад

I love you guys, I've started knitting about a year or two ago, just a little here and there, and using your techniques, I've made knitting my main hobby! greetings from America, keep on sharing with us :)

@judyboyles733 4 года назад

You are giving me confidence to try one of these intricate patterns. Arne makes it look so easy. I'm enjoying your tutorials very much. Carlos you are a very good teacher.

@ooohlaa13 6 лет назад

I can't really get into such sophisticated patterning but I learn a lot from you and I so enjoy the respectful, charming and loving way that you relate to your work and to each other. You two are so precious and dear and provide for me a respite of peace and pleasure in your company.

@jamesblanton5600 5 лет назад

Still learning to do stranded knitting.... Love to watch....you make it look so easy....deb

@leighabresch8143 6 лет назад

Arne, I love watching you knit and purl, especially purl. I am a throw knitter and am trying to learn to how to hold and thread the yarn from the left when doing purl stitches. Thank goodness for the "setting" button which let me slow the speed to .25. I could then see how you hold the yarn in back over the left finger as if you're knitting and then you go back and as you make a purl you go back and hook the thread from the finger, wrap it around the needle and bring it back through the stitch as a purl. Working from the left hand is awkward for this throw knitter and being able to see your needle and finger movement in slow motion really helped me understand your technique. BTW, I love all your videos! You two are fab!

@irenemacleod5140 6 лет назад

thanks for the imfo on the floats I finally understand it now I look forward to you guys every week

@gisellenorbury2369 3 года назад

Again thank you, now I know what to do . You both are great teachers.

@GezButterworth 6 лет назад

Very informative, now l know why I would get odd stitches showing, l was twisting in the same spot.. l gave up in the end that was 30 years ago! I am blown away finding your videos. I didn't know about the setting to slow down videos either. I have been practising my Norwegian knitting and l am SO in LOVE!! I have a little side story which made me smile, l was 11 when l taught myself to knit, it was on a canal boat in the north of England, our boat was called Bodø ! Wish l had known about Norwegian knitting back then !! I am looking forward to trying colour work soon. Thank you for your wonderful videos and inspiration. I can't wait to see Arne in his finished jumper! Happy twisting! Gez

@sharonkeller7397 6 лет назад

Thank you for this great video! I am learning new things all the time while watching your videos! I had no idea you need to make sure your floats are twisted in a different spot on each row. I'm new at colorwork and it is sooo much fun! Thanks for the tip! Have a lovely day you two! Sharon :)

@lb1049 2 года назад

Same!

@Jennerwtx1 6 лет назад

Love the crisscross pattern in both yarn styles. Arne is such the overachiever for wanting to have the pattern repeat on the back! 😀

@ardocon1268 6 лет назад

I like Arne's sweater in this one!

@christinelinn9250 6 лет назад

Hello and thank you guys for sharing another enjoyable sunday with you both. I found it most interesting as have not done anything with colour so found it most helpful. I'm hoping one day you'll both talk about the different yarns like the merino, silk and yak and what you would use them for. Thank you both again you are like rays of sunshine. Take care till next week and be good to yourselves x

@numsidumsragitsch Год назад

4 years later, and you guys are still helping out people. I did not know, that he floatcatches shouldn't be above eachother and couldnt figure out why the yarns were always shining through. I will also try your random method of twisting to "give up" color dominance.

@ARNECARLOS Год назад

Happy knitting!

@lisagilmore4519 6 лет назад

@66twiggs2u 4 года назад

I have tried to do the Norwegian pearl for over a year. I couldn’t get it watching other videos. I finally got it watching Arne. Thank you both so much for your videos. I have learned more from you two than anyone else. I love making socks too. 🤗

@ARNECARLOS 4 года назад

Glad we could be of help.

@Kunstwerke 5 лет назад

@sueschneider7582 6 лет назад

Watching your videos makes me want to try colour work. Thank you so much!

@Shadez5915 4 года назад

Ah I wanted to know if twisting over or under mattered and this helped immensely!! Just started my first fair isle hat after years of knitting because I prefer color changing yarn over fair isle. This helped so much! Thank you!!

@dunnc52dunn23 2 года назад

Indeed and colour pooling techniques ids would be brilliant!!! Love your work!!!

great video. thanks guys

@pamelaharris4016 6 лет назад

Very very helpful! Thank you. I have totally avoided colorwork that is not done in the round because I could not imagine how to purl and carry the floats. So simple! I always learn so much here. 🙏🙏

@pattijacobs1 6 лет назад

Yay! Love you guys!

@thomashubbell8612 6 лет назад

Very helpful to know that the floats have to twist in different stitches!!

@notswifemazonna7420 5 лет назад

Thank you. I didn't know that could be done. Now I will learn how to purl like Arne does. Learning from Alaska.

@Strumelia 2 года назад

Loved all the laughter in this one especially. So nice. :)

@janmiranda01 4 года назад

It is so great that you bring all the little tips that really make a difference in the way your finished garment looks. I have always avoided colorwork simply because I was too picky in what I wanted. Thanks so much.

@ARNECARLOS 4 года назад

Thank you, we are glad that you found it useful!

@marychristoforo2256 6 лет назад

Ok, this was actually kind of spooky that your subject was catching floats. I only recently got up enough nerve to try stranded colorwork, and just last night was complaining to myself about the back of my work looking messy, and some color poking through to the front! You must be mind readers! THANK YOU for all your help.

@evelynfrench804 5 лет назад

@mrsmac5196 6 лет назад

Great instructive video. I especially enjoy watching Arne handling the yarns and needles. I've been knitting (english throw) for a long time. Painfully slow. Thanks to your instructions, I now pick and do Norwegian purl, but still only with a single color. Not blazing-ly fast yet, but I expect to be a much faster knitter eventually, and become competent using multiple colors. Great looking UFO, hope to see you wearing it soon:-)

@nooralfajr1775 5 лет назад

@sondrajackson3171 6 лет назад

I love doing color work and I didn't know about twisting the floats in different spots. I've not had a problem with yarn showing so I must be doing okay. I also usually twist on the 3rd stitch because I didn't like having long floats. I still knit with one color in each hand and I don't have a problem with tension. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you

@lb1049 2 года назад

Wish I watched this before my project! Thank you for the info!! Keep them coming!

@lesliesmith6586 6 лет назад

I would love to see a close up of you guys knitting a full size colour work swatch at normal speed, just to see the magic of it happening. I know i wouldnt be able to follow along very well, but to just be able to watch an experienced knitter up close and see the fabric being made would be amazing. xxxx

@777jord 4 года назад

Thank you for explaining how to slow it down .... I didn't know. Also, I have learned how to knit color work in the round only. So seeing how you purl while doing color work was new to me.

@veronicastephens8501 6 лет назад

I love you guys, I look forward to seeing each Sunday. Thank you! I have an idea for a tutorial, I am interested in learning the tubular cast on for cuffs, collars and hats.
