How to avoid holes when knitting the heel flap of a sock by ARNE & CARLOS New Episodes!

[@StormsEnd1604]

I have been picking up incorrectly all my sock life!!!!! Game changing. 🇨🇦❤️🇳🇴

[@ARNECARLOS]

😀

[@michelebuda-carlson2076]

This is one of the best hacks I have ever learned. My heels now look tight and neat. I now have 4 skeins of the Lofton line. They are gorgeous. I just love when Anne says "don't worry it will be fine", too many stitches?Just knit 2 together. You guys are the greatest.

[@elizabethdelong6431]

Arne you are a knitting genius!

[@annespohn2378]

Glad you are back. I was afraid we’d miss the whole summer at your house and garden. Sympathy to you both, too.

[@ARNECARLOS]

❤️

[@aliciaquintano6506]

So wonderful to see you again! I'm hoping you'll give us a tour of the garden sometime. I'm sure after all your care and hard work it's an amazing and lovely place.

[@mistyblue5312]

So nice to see you two again! Arne look after your hands! Thanks guys for your tips and tricks.

[@carlawolff8793]

Love the "bug" shirt, Arne. Very summer stylish.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@wandadavey3526]

You guys are back!!! Wonderful! Love the birds singing in the background. Peaceful. 🐦😀👍❤

[@marydevries]

Your English is so much better,Arne

[@allthebest744]

So wonderful to see you both. I like how you lean on each other for support. Carlos, you look great and well rested. Arne, don’t worry about your hands. They reflect generations of hard work and creativity. They are perfect! Sending love to you both!

[@mj-ls7qr8xp3n]

Arne, your hands are my hands. -) happy knitting.

[@juliavaz7933]

Great tip! Arne I looooove your purple beetle shirt 🕷

[@marionmathews9852]

This is so useful to me. I’m just learning how to knit socks.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Perfect timing!

[@theresawilson2484]

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@terryroy945]

[@61mhall]

THANK YOU!!! Can I say, I love you two? ❤❤

Of course!

[@theresaotero7973]

Great to see u both back I surely missed seeing u both💜💜

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@litabilotti7169]

Dear Arne and Carlos, My sympathy is with both of you in this time of great sorrow. Since I care about you both, I am thankful that you have each other during this time of loss. In true form, you are moving forward in spite of diversity. It is great to see you again! Thank you for all that you do. 🧶🧶🧶

[@hollyhamilton1297]

This is so much better than the way I’ve been shown. Thank you so much!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@deborahhuss2062]

Yea! No more holes! Thanks so much for the tip.

[@oeendrila]

Can I be honest? Spring and summer I skip all knitting programs. But come the hint of fall, all I want is your videos! ♥️♥️♥️ you’ve an incredibly cozy, warm, and inviting spirit.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Welcome back😍

[@ellenthomas4166]

Thank you. What a game changer. ❤ from Kelowna BC Canada

[@meJaneMakes]

I've only recently discovered your channel, and I very much enjoy your demonstrations, and tutorials. I think one of my most favorite things about you guys is the way you're so very kind and gracious to each other. ☺️🧶

[@ARNECARLOS]

Welcome to our channel Janie!

[@Jojococo63]

You guys are my lifesavers. I love this as I’ve always stressed out about the sock holes. Not any more. Yippee.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Yay!

[@janearcelay5593]

Nice to have you both back Wishing I could knit li,e you guys I'm a beginner and so bad lol

[@ARNECARLOS]

Keep up the good work!

[@marlaleclerc9491]

I am still scared to try socks... I keep reading and reading on how to do them, but reluctant to try. Your video is so greatly appreciated because it encourages me that everything will be ok because this is a secret hack to have a perfect sock. With knowledge comes confidence. I love & appreciate the both of you SO MUCH!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Don't be scared!

[@elliesr]

Arne, thank you for showing us how you pick up the stitches. I've been picking up both legs and knitting the stitch them rather than picking up a row of stitches. Your way seems quicker. I've been darning up my holes and maybe your technique will help there, too. Finally your Norwegian knitting method is quicker than flicking so I'm going to try to move over to your way. Love you guys!

[@maizoon4327]

Good tip to fix a hole, I always find it easier to fix things as I go that way I don't have to go back afterwards.

[@suepeterson5042]

Watching this made me realize how much I’ve missed seeing you two in real time (well, almost real time!). I can’t wait for sit and knit for a bit and I really miss Dogme camera style videos as well ;)

[@ARNECARLOS]

See you soon Sue!

[@andrearib6935]

I can't wait to try to pick up my stitches this way. I usually put the needle through both parts of the stitch on the edge and use the working yarn to make the stitch. I'm glad I didn't skip over this video thinking that I knew it all already. I'm working on my 4th of the 8 from the Lofoten collection, Thank you guys

[@lindariccardohenderson1656]

Love the new opening and 👏🏻👏🏻 to the videographer. Appreciate the background chirping, lighting, environment and ok the knitting lesson.

[@marisadawndesigns5458]

I just used Arne’s method of picking up stitches on a heel flap…. SO must easier! Thank you for the tip!

[@gittegrankvist3336]

Tack för fina tips❤️

[@annieboulton5759]

Hi guys. I enjoyed the podcast. Always love to see you knitting. The sock yarn is a lovely colour. Take care and see you soon xxx

[@ARNECARLOS]

You as well Annie!

[@lindawellinghoff5432]

Great tips and love that you showed them. Thanks so much.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching Linda!

[@Sylvia_1002]

I'll have to use this tip on my next pair of socks! Thanks guys 🥰😘

[@kimbailey4785]

This is perfect timing for me! I am working on a pair of socks today.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Happy sock knitting!

[@gisellenorbury2369]

Miss you guys love watching these videos

[@123uschie]

Thank you for this tip ! Good to see you both keep well .

[@audreyabbott7806]

I love the Lofoten collection and appreciate these easy ways to “fix” the holes!

[@ARNECARLOS]

🤗

[@jennydrake7776]

I’m loving knitting with the pairfect reggia yarn, “Arne and Carlos” of course!

[@stephsmith5969]

I love this tip and can't wait to knit another pair of socks. I've already knit a pair with one of the Lofotens colours and have another ball of yarn to start on. So I'll put the Christmas balls on hold for now (another little summer project) and get on with some more socks. Thank you for all your great knitting advice. xx

[@maryannschleer1176]

Welcome Back! I will make more socks, you inspired me to start some new projects, love that yarn!!

[@catnapper3923]

Sock knitting is my new favorite thing because it’s quick and light, good (as you say) for summer knitting. I also loved your last-summer’s-video (when you were way up north) on how to repair a beloved sock. Thank you two! Now get back to resting up. You’ve had quite a year (longer than that, I realize).

[@ruthcollins7734]

Arne, I love your shirt!!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@audreywatt3864]

I’m binge watching your videos from the past few months, we’ve been travelling around U.K. in our campervan. Thoroughly enjoying the different tips for knitting sock heels and picking up stitches ( the bit I don’t enjoy) , I’m off to buy some sock yarn.🙂

[@ARNECARLOS]

We hope you had a nice trip!

[@paige37914]

Awesome! I will try this on my next pair of socks!

[@sarah-janeireland157]

How lovely to see you once again on my telly box, you have both been missed and always love a bit of sock knitting. Take care and keep sharing your joy 🧶🌼💕

[@Katheverett]

I love the tip about tightening the loose stitches! So great - thanks!!

[@sherinylund1659]

Very helpful! Thank you. Happy Summer!

[@nicolaking2704]

Hello both - can I just say this is one of the best videos I've seen on sock issues. I think I've now cracked sock knitting, but I was worried about the loose gusset stitches on one side and the little gaps. Twisting stitches and lifting/knitting that pesky loose stitch on the back are the answers! Thanks so much for both of these great tips, I am now enjoying my sock knitting, at long last!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome Nicola!

[@bextermonkey246]

I live in Miami, don't wear socks, BUT I Love You Guys!

[@ARNECARLOS]

No need to wear socks to watch!🤗

[@donnawaddington7887]

xoxoxo you fill my heart with gladness!!!!

[@maryreddin7386]

I'm starting a sock today! I can't believe after all my years of knitting that I didn't come up with these tricks myself; thanks for sharing!

[@arlettem.garcia6831]

Thank you for this tutorial. I like the way you pick up those stitches🙂, and close those holes.

[@julielandy9162]

review! Mine from Amazon. Can't wait to make those socks!! Nit enough time to knit. Thank you for the tips!!

[@cheryldeville9211]

I'm just about to start the heel on my Regia Lofoten in the Nusfjord colourway so I'll try your tip. Picking up the heel stitches and working the gusset of a sock is is my favourite part, but I've never used a needle to pick up all the stitches at once. You've always got such simple and useful tips, thank you. Love seeing you back again! 💙🧦🧦💙 you both look great 👍👍

[@beverlyness7954]

Boy Arne, you have so many great tips! So simple yet so effective. These are the kinds of techniques I would never have known. Basically I'm a self taught knitter. No one in my family knows how to knit. At this point I'm hoping to share this skill with my grandkids (my own kids don't have an interest). I started knitting at about age 6 when a neighbor showed me the basic knit stitch. From there my Mom found a yarn shop who would teach beginners if you bought her yarn. She taught me to knit one pair of slippers. From then on it was me learning for myself. I was single Mom and had to focus my life on my kids and job so I didn't do much knitting until 5 years before I retired from that same job. I'm so glad to have found you both for my journey of rediscovering the joy of knitting. Thank you so much!

[@BeautifulOaks]

Thank you. It made a lot of good sense.

[@suedavison4891]

Thank you so much for teaching this as I always get holes in socks! xx

[@GaminGawdess]

What a wonderful tip. This will inspire me to do much sock knitting!

[@teresapatterson1253]

Thank you so much for this tip. I can’t wait to put it into practice 😊

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@shaday9620]

So glad you are back and thanks for showing the sock heel. I looked for the Prym yarn twirly and could not find it on the American site. Handicraft.com is now the Prym site in the US. I have been using their circular and straight needles ( I still won't give my Boye) . Covid is back up again here in NJ. Please be careful. Again, SO happy you are back.

[@isabellawiseman4010]

Welcome back. Great seeing u both for the autumn season of knitting. Yeah!!! 🥳🥳👌👌👍👍👏👏👏

[@rumination608]

Great tips! Thanks for sharing! ❤️

[@marshabanks665]

Ok, I will begin to knit socks…as soon as I finish the other UFOs! Welcome back!

[@beckywhitt7356]

I love your Regina yarn. Especially the ones that look fair isle. So much fun to knit.

[@jenniferr2017]

Perfect timing - I'll be casting on some socks later today with a skein of your Lofoten yarn! I have three colors to choose from in my stash and will save one skein for the Save Bear. I enjoy these tutorials and very much hope you continue Sit and Knit for a Bit even after we aren't all home so much. I really enjoy the podcast, especially the Norwegian culture and history and in fact, while I can't visit a Stave church in Norway (I live in Minnesota), I am going to visit a full size replica of the Gol Stave church in Bismarck, South Dakota and the Scandinavian Heritage Center as part of my summer vacation in a couple weeks - inspired by your road trip last summer.

[@mickiwhite4754]

Thanks guys! Very helpful as usual 🙂

[@karenbickerman3463]

A wonderful tip! Thank you. I always learn something from you both. :) I managed to find you Lofoten collection and am in love. Thank you!

[@loopybblady]

Thank you for your tip! I’m just beginning to kit socks.

[@joannesgstuff5116]

Thank you so much. These are awesome tips.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome

[@stephanieselb8329]

Thank you! I used to dread heel flaps, so I switched to toe up socks with short row heels. Now, I’m inspired to try again. You just made picking up those stitches so much easier.

[@bartsexton1652]

i started off with toe up and short rows also . just really didn"t like the way they looked . so i learned the heal flap and love it . i pick up the ladder then the stitch on each side when i do mine . no holes this way

[@barbarawest1205]

WOW! This is fantastic and may get me knitting socks again. I have to admit - I have always picked up and knitted one stitch at a time. I will have to practice Arne's technique of picking up all the stitches in that section, then knitting them off. And I finally understand why I always have a harder time twisting stitches on the "traveling up" side. Thank you!

[@JCF072344]

Timely, because I'm just now coming to the heel flap and stitch pickup on a sock I'm knitting. . I'll give this a try.

[@Chichiknits2017]

I’m from America so I knit the American way. I am trying to teach myself the Norwegian way because it seems to be faster. But I’m finding it hard to keep the yarn on my left index finger in tighter. The yarn gets so loose it falls off my finger. I’ll keep at it and hope I get better. Keep up the good work. Love ❤️ you guys.

[@karinberryman2009]

Me too. I can’t grip it to control the tension except when I use it for two strands, and the Left hand for the least dominant color.

[@blasebaker]

Great to see you guys again. Loving the Instagram posts!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Hi Blase!

[@bluegrassdreams2seams510]

I love how you pick up stitches. I’m looking forward to trying it this way. Thanks!

[@carolbulmer8253]

YAY! So glad to see you again! I hope that you enjoyed your vacation❤️

[@tl4214]

It is such a blessing to see you again!! Missed you both!! I am grateful for the tips and the banter!!

[@janethogan8387]

This is so helpful, I have been using a tapestry needle to fix my holes but this is SO slick! Thank you! Enjoy your summer!

[@barbarakb8847]

One of the best tutorials ever! Thank you!! Starting a pair of socks tonight.

[@Wynona-Anderson]

Thank you Arne and Carlos for the great knitting tips! Your sock yarn looks stunning!

[@maj-britmansson-brown6195]

I always seem to get holes on one side of the heel flap, the other side is fine. I am knitting socks at the moment so I shall follow your advice. Many thanks.

[@stitchersdelight]

You inspired me to buy the Insect book you talked about, which is very interesting. i have now purchased a pom-pom maker like you used , and I already have the yarn holder you showed in this video. You two are making me shop and I love it !! Now I'll look for this yarn ...lol Have a wonderful week !

[@lisarussell3845]

[@vickiehoffman5756]

Very helpful, love the colors! I won a blue ribbon at our county fair with your blue Regia Pairfect yarn. The judge commented on how pretty the colors are!

[@annesmith3352]
