thanks. using for yummy mitten, but no short rows. was 😵‍💫 confusing for me.

After felt 2 Mio normal purl stitches I give it a try - Thank you!

Thank you so much. Do you have any videos on how to hold the yarn on the wrong side?? I struggling with this the most

The easiest explanation of this cast on. Marvellous!

👍

this saved my life thank youuu

Thanks Beth.

My pattern calls for this cast on but requires an odd number of stitches. Since this casts on two stitches at a time, is there a way to cast on an odd rather than even number of stitches? Thank you!

Thank you very much for your tutorial ! I have started knitting a mitten out of the book Knit like a Latvian, and the thumb directions are the same, except, by reading the directions, I wasn't getting the understanding of how to work the thumb part. My directions do say to put a certain number of stitches on waste yarn and then move them back onto the needle. which is different than this tutorial, but I can use this example for sure.

I have had your book forever (the first one) I just ordered Frangipani yarn and in the process of picking stitches. Thank you for this video, very helpful.

Thank you!!!!!❤❤❤

This might change my knitting life! I love the way seed stitch looks but I hate swinging the yarn back and forth. Thanks so much for this clear tutorial, I especially appreciate the trouble-shooting of where problems may abound.

Thank you, Beth. ovely simple tutorial, which I just came across as it was referenced in your recent newsletter. Norwegian Purl is much MUCH easier if, like me, you are an English style knitter using the two hand hold for stranded knitting. I had almost despaired of doing continental purl (hand cramps, frustration, lots of swearing) until I tried Norwegian purl. And I hated holding two yarns in my right hand as it felt clumsy to me and I couldn't get into a rhythm with dropping yarns and picking them up again. So Norwegian purl was the elegant solution.

Thank you! Very Helpful video. 😊

You have so many less-common techniques on your channel that are helpfully and concisely explained - thank you!

Received my copy today and I am enthralled

Very helpful! Thank you very much!

Thank you for sharing this, I want to try but have you a video for working the wrong side row please

Thank you for such a clear and concise video! I just watched several videos on this topic and none of them explained which color would be dominant when held like this.

This helped me alot as I could not 'get it' from Nancy's illustrations in her book.

Thank you so much for this.

Excellent tutorial! Thank you so much for taking the time to teach those of us who want to learn. In some Selbuvotter patterns, the knitter is instructed to cast-on in pattern, with both colours, when bridging the gap over the hole created by setting aside the thumb gusset stitches. How is that done?? I noticed in the tutorial that you only used the background colour when casting-on those stitches that bridge the gap. How visible will those newly cast-on stitches be, and will a single colour cast-on affect the seamless transition between the pattern on the back of the thumb, and the pattern on the palm? Cheers.

Hi again! I'm knitting the Newhaven gansey and am a bit stumped about how to join in the round with this cast-on. What happens with the 3-yarn slipknot? Thanks in advance!

Thank you, great workshop. I really wanted to learn such a technique. The appearance is very similar to the Ukrainian Poltava embroidery.

Soooooo beautiful

I really like Norwegian pearl, except it seems to open up my stitches too much making them looser

Hi Beth! Do you have a link to your Selbu mitten pattern that you show in this video? I looked on your website and it's not one of the ones that are listed there. Love your pattern!

Thank you!

Please send some down to Delaware! Happy New Year, Beth!

Maybe you should consider slowing down so we can actually grasp what you are doing - had to find someone else to help me do a provisional cast on - some of us are still learning how to do certain things like a provisional cast on

Would it be stretchy enough for a hat?

Tried to learn this 30 years ago and wound up just alternatitng one yarn and the other, not quite right...THANKS!

Thank you!

I've bought your book and am working my way through the sampler. I couldn't understand this cast on from the words and photos so I am so pleased that you have posted this video. Thank you.

Beth can we still buy wooly boards ? I’ve looked everywhere

This video saved me. I can only do Continental. Thank you very much for making the video. 고맙습니다🎉

THANK YOU for this video! I've started a challenging colorwork piece worked flat and as a Norwegian purl-er I was going insane trying to figure out how to pick up speed on the wrong side. Echoing another commenter ... does your DVD cover trapping floats while Norwegian purling two colors on the wrong side? I'm manually twisting the yarns with my left hand each time -- trying to remember to twist first one way and then the other to avoid [even more of] a tangled mess in my lap. I'm hoping there's a better way!

Apologies in advance if this is a very basic question (about to start my first gansey) but what do you do with the other two balls of yarn when you start knitting after completing the cast-on? Do you cut those two yarns and weave the ends in afterwards? Thanks in advance and thank you for this super useful video!

It's Great To Have Pro Tips From Someone Who Is Intentionally Carrying Traditions Into The Future. I Have Been Knitting Ganseys For A Bit, My Husband Is Scottish... I Happened Upon This Looking For A Better PCO 💜

I do not purl the Norwegian way. Would it make a difference in the needle turning?

This reminds me of the Italian Tubular Cast On

Great tutorial. I needed some help with the thumb and this was a perfect, easy to follow tutorial. Thank You!

Thank you. Just about to start Grace's cardigan from your Knitting Ganseys book.

That looks very much like reversing the catching of floats on the front to make the pattern, but not floating all the way around the knit with both colours at the back. I have started knitting norwegian style for colours thanks to arne and Carlos and i see you hold your yarn in the left and knit in a norwegian style ( no fingers up in the air) i find it a very relaxed way of holding yarn, especially as a leftie 😊

Hello. I’m not sure if you were checking comments on this older video, but I wanted to inquire about a specific Gansey pattern unique to the Isle of Barra called the True Lovers Knot and I am wondering if you cover that in your book. Thank you!

Thank you! Its really nice to learn new things everyday. I always enjoy your tutorials. You made it so Nice, Simple and easy to follow. 😊

Thanks, Beth! Very clear and helping me get the gansey sampler shoulder strap started!

Thank you!

Thank you this is great! My wife found a photo of this and asked me to build her one since they're no longer produced. Screen shots of your video enabled me to scale the parts. The tape measure really helped a lot. I'll use leftover scraps of maple from a kitchen makeover I'm doing, stainless bolts and spar varnish. She started knitting me a sweater now and I hope to finish this about the same time she's done knitting. What a neat wife I have!
