The sweaters you are wearing. Oh my goodness they are beautiful! I’m drooling.

You two are such a blessing to me, thank you for always sharing your knowledge with us!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching Pam!

[@GrapeApe2018]

What I love about your charts, they are easy for me to use myself, and to transfer them back to graph paper with symbols for my colorblind friend to enjoy too. The sad reality is we unafflicted have fallen into the practice of color printer charts and left so many behind.

[@bluequipe24]

love your videos, all days knitting and learning new things. thanks.

[@velmad3091]

The Christmas stocking is beautiful. Love to watch your videos you are so calm and relaxing. Love the christmas tree in the background.

[@YaYa-lz1zt]

I am not a knitter, yet, but plan to learn soon. (I’m a newbie crocheter.) Watching you knit is like watching pure magic! It is mesmerizing.

[@sheilabush3784]

Thank you so much for your videos. I love you both. I can have the deepest, darkest day and I will watch you both and can't help but smile. Keep doing what you do.

[@ARNECARLOS]

[@mylifetherealthings]

Thank you. Speechless.

[@dezchrisostomou5413]

[@18daisydoll65]

Another viewer suggested Arne & Carlos knitting kits (genius) and a Christmas Stocking kit would be perfect 👌🏼😘

[@ampm3098]

Awesome stocking..thank you and Happy Holidays!

[@ればーとり]

Thank you for the great video always. I had to smile when I saw the knitting book with lots of hand writing anyway Merry Xmas.

[@cherylhaupt4692]

I am curious about Arne’s notebook. This looks very interesting…..

[@cathypearson1889]

[@iChillypepper]

If I start these now (July) they may be ready for Christmas 😂 Arne just knits waaaay too fast! Wish I could knit that fast

[@lisaschoenwetter5495]

I’ve been knitting since I was 5 and I’m now 62. I can’t knit even close to Arnie’s speed. I think that I could knit faster if I could keep a shorter tension on the yarn. But try as hard as I can I still can’t do it! 🤣

[@nita44htc]

That's a beautiful sock.

[@werenip]

Amazing video, amazing pattern!!!!!!! It is the first time I will knit anything in double pointed needles and since I'm a thrower I will need much patience and luck but hopefully I will have a wonderful socking!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you very much and Merry Christmas!!

[@charlottejpriestley8934]

I throw an I find it soothing. Its not a competition its something created with love. Norwegians are like that on a show I saw everything was a competition (they actually sheered a sheep and carded, then spun it, then knitted it) it was so tense! To make it into the Guiness book of Records. I shut it off. Everybody needs something to relax with or become a raging drunk! Or perhaps a very angry person. You two are opposites in knitting styles only yet balance each other where needed. Some things are just good slowed down. lol, there's still plenty of time to Christmas. Sorry, but I'm happy with my throwing ways. If I rush there's errors and very, very little satisfaction for me personally. I'm taking my time. lol. I get nervous watching Arne sometimes. Love him to death for his mad skills though but I wouldn't even try around him. I'm a painter so maybe that's it.

[@fralou1]

Hi Arne and Carlos. Thank you so much for all your shares. I'm in Canada and haven't found your yarns that you're using now, but I won't give up. I bought 4 of your books. One I bought twice as I wanted it for kindle right away but as there are graphs I decided to order the actual book. I'm looking forward to getting my books as I ordered the doll one too. I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas from my home to your home. I look forward to all your videos. Thank you.

[@anikabennett810]

Love, love your videos! I am such a visual learner, so I really appreciate your detailed explanations on the videos, and the many tips! I may have to start in January though, for next year!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!!

[@deniseacebo9679]

OMG I just found this! I LOVE your Christmas socks! I'm going to go to tour blog and get the pattern! Thank you Arne & Carlos! -Denise from Texas

[@juliesouthwell247]

I just love your videos, so thank you so much for sharing them. I'm sitting here and I started watching the twined hat and now I'm on my fourth video, lol. Merry Christmas!

[@wolhalla6905]

It's so nice to feel invited in your home. Thank you for that! Merry Christmas to you two from JoAn, Wolhalla, The Netherlands

[@francestornese7252]

Thanks for this pattern. It's exactly what I was looking for.

[@catarinapinheiro1767]

Hello Arne and Carlos! :) You have no idea how many hours I've spent in front of the computer just watching your videos! They are just amazing! Thank you very much for helping us knitting these amazing things! My main problem is the yarn twisting... Do you have any video where you explain it "step by step"? It would help me a lot! Merry Christmas from Portugal!

[@TaoOfCharlie]

Catarina Pinheiro same! Wonderful videos!

[@atrinka1]

Carlos you knit just like my mother in law (she was born in Spain)!!!!

[@marycooke240]

Love This Video

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Karen!

[@atrinka1]

Arne & Carlos have a merry Christmas! Love your videos and your yarn. I live in the USA (actually very close to Dolly Parton's hometown) and your yarn is kind of difficult to buy. I wish I could go to your country and get lots and lots of yarn (I think I would need one or two more pieces of luggage!). Hugs from North EastTennessee!!!!

[@mellibee100]

atrinka rac hey! I’m in Nashville! I’m hoping to find something similar to the Schachenmayr yarn at Bliss yarns in Brentwood, TN

I love your videos! Looking forward to trying this ❤️ Merry Christmas from the USA🎄

[@EuphemiaGrubb]

Love love love your channel!!!! By the way I think you mean 'Prominent'. Dominant only means the main colour. All the best from Scotland.

[@denisepettit8534]

Merry Christmas thank you for the beautiful gift, FREE pattern, blessings to you. Thank you for teaching both yarns should NOT be on the finger at the same time! I am going to watch your steam method I just made a shawl and would love not having to soak it. Will the colors not bleed with steaming??

[@haylspallett4046]

I absolutely love this. Can I knit this using the magic loop method on a circular needle? I've never used dp needles before!

[@covid-19inthistogether96]

Yes you can!

[@covid-19inthistogether96]

I would love to see an entire book of Christmas stockings Arne, that hand made notebook looks like a sweet treasure of patterns, notes, ideas, and memories! This is my second video I’ve seen where you talk about dominant color; it is a thing in Norway too, I’ve seen it mentioned in a few patterns from Norwegian designers. I think the main idea is that IF you have a different tension between your 2 strands of yarn, make sure to hold the same color in the same hand throughout your project so the tension remains the same for the pattern color and the background color, otherwise your knitted fabric will be very uneven. I knit in the German/American way and my stitches that I knit with my left hand are looser (probably because I don’t have the same strength in that hand as I do in my right hand which is my dominant hand). I’ve tried tensioning the yarn differently to try to correct this difference but I’m not always successful so until I get there, it is helpful to be mindful that it can exist and how to deal with it.

Vocês são o Geni o das Meias de tricô Fantástico .

[@gwenshepard8594]

Love your videos, etc. Am constantly impressed by your English skills. I may never knit as much or as well as you both do, but i do use your videos to de-stress. KZbin Zen.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Gwen!

[@soniabutler6280]

I absolutely love your fair isle jumpers, do you have a pattern or utube on how to knit it?

[@4UStevePerry]

Hey how are you? I've been really getting into intarsia.These are beautiful. My aunt many years ago made stockings similar to yours except she had the names on them. The top wasn't gathered either. I think she made them from a kit. She now can't knit anymore due to MS. Thanks will check out your website. Merry Christmas!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching!

[@karenscott2359]

I love the saxophone on your videos!❤️🎶❤️ Is it commercially available?

All the music we use is from KZbins music library.

I know this is commenting on an older video but I was curious if you have every done a video showing how Arne made his pattern book?

No we have not, but we have some on how we design: kzbin.info/aero/PLElv_tSbHW3qn8RKkX2Zu8Kug2mKGcjVo

Do you have any suggestions for stranded knitting with three or more colors? Or is it just the same as knitting with two?

[@ARNECARLOS]

Hi Marcy, here are links to two previous tutorials of ours kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWiwYpiur9SMi5I and this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKG1fouam8h7hrc

Ok I emailed them

How long till I can get a reply?🤓

[@sabrinayerger5279]

I'm not sure what it is called when you use both fingers on both hands to cast your yarn from, but on the left hand it is continental and right hand it is english

[@tatydiossilva3025]

Beautiful works. You can do the Subtitled Videos ..... please 🤗

Thank you Taty, if you want to contribute you can follow the link in our community tab.

[@riannoncanestrelli3031]

Hi!! These are lovely! My grandma made them for years and I started making them after she passed and have so many questions I wish I could ask her! I always struggle with having holes in my work at the end from crossing over to change colors, especially over longer spaces, making the back of the work look very messy when I have to fix them later. I’m thinking it is a tension issue or else a crossing issue. This video has been very helpful. Do you avoid holes by twisting continually as you knit? I’m embarking on a very ambitious design and I want to try and fix these mistakes as I go. Thank you!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Hi,you should check out our tutorials on how to improve your knitting on our channel website.

[@caseypickett649]

The pattern seems to have disappeared from the blog. Was that intentional, or is there some mistake? Thank you for your excellent videos. Watching you two makes me smile.

Another way to thread that yarn is to fold over needle squeeze and pull off the needle and then put through the eye of the needle.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for sharing!

[@LadyGecko]

In the States, the 'dominant' color is simply the color that you are using the most of.

[@gnviev]

😊💕

[@justthegoodbits1]

I have tried to use a color of yarn in each right and left hands did not like it at all. I knit colors the same way Arne does.

[@brance63]

Can anyone figure out how Arne is tensioning his yarn? I've been knitting English nearly 14 years and am attempting continental. It looks like he's holding it against the needle.

[@anitamadsen3566]

Hvor kan man købe de hvide strømpepinde i Dk?

[@ARNECARLOS]

Det vet vi ikke dessverre.

[@LadyGecko]

The the US, the ‘dominant’ color is the ‘prominent’ color or the ‘foremost’ color or ‘main’ color.

[@brance63]

Thank you so much for responding, but being a bit of a "thick" American I'm not quite getting it. I've watched the Norwegian knitting tutorial. It seems that one would need to tension yarn somehow or the stitches would be loose and sloppy. Is it because you work so closely at the tips? Just a bit of a more technical explanation would be most welcome. I tend to delve into things a bit more deeply than is healthy! brad
