Finally I have learnt to knit the Norwegian way 💕🙏 thank you Arne and Carlos

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@lsncred19]

You're right Carlos , you are a lot of fun to watch . Thanks Arne , for teaching us the "Norwegian " way

You are welcome Lesia!

Where have you been all my knitting life?? You, Gentlemen, are spectacular. Thank you for ALL of your wonderful tutorials

Thank you!

Tell them Arne bring it on. Lol you are so funny. I love all that you both share.

[@marialuisaponce18]

I am trying to knit like you Arne , and I am so nervous that my stitches are so tight 😊the other day I was knitting ok and all of the autonomy brain went blank🤷🏿‍♀️ I tried to remember and I couldn't😨you say is like a dance, for you Arne ,I will keep on practicing, be cos I am no quitter, I will master this dance my friend , and when I do I will always remember you to taught me how to knit . 😍😘😉

[@ARNECARLOS]

Practice makes perfect, don't give up!

[@daxcollazo3038]

"It's only knitting" You're so right! Love it!!!👍

[@laurelstieg9375]

I am teaching myself how to knit the Norwegian way..thx Arne..thats a great rib stitch too..I have to do this because I am Norwegian and I can teach my granddaughter. I am learning new things everyday from your channel. ❤👍🤗🐾

[@mistyblue5312]

I prefer the twisted knit rib - it looks more sleeker specially in socks! The Norwegian style of knitting is an elegant dance. Thanks for teaching all of us.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@ninjablueflame6]

I’ve recently discovered your wonderful videos. After watching a few, I was able to quickly learn the Norwegian knit and purl techniques that Arne has demonstrated. Being able to knit this way is a life changer for me because I have severe rheumatoid arthritis. The Norwegian method is very ergonomic and I experience far less hand pain. Thank you for all that you do and for showing me that I can knit again. I’m also a dog lover and very much enjoy your fearless moose hunter, Freya😊

[@ARNECARLOS]

Welcome to our channel!

[@maryalgar8779]

Not to worry about any thumbs down (but I see there isn't any). I am so grateful for Arne's instruction on Norwegian knitting and purling. I persisted in trying to learn it about a year ago and now I am very comfortable with it and it has improved my knitting so much. As Arne said, once you get the purl down, it is like a dance.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Mary!

[@SusannasHobbies]

Dear Arne & Carlos, really really thank you!!! Finally, I could understand.

[@antoinettemccollum729]

Knitting should be like jazz - smooth. I like that it also raises the knit stitch and make it more prominant. Dance, Arne, dance. :) Have a great week guys!

I just started a pair of socks with K1, P1 rib but will rip out and start again with the twisted knit rib. Always inspired by you both! Lots of love from Canada. I was part of the late Toronto bus in St. Thomas, Ontario last Dec. and you were so kind to us all. 🇨🇦♥️🇳🇴

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad you enjoyed it!

[@marialuisaponce18]

I'm looking at you do the Twisted knit😀 I think it looks very nice. I'm also seeing how you hold your yarn😁 how you keep it in one place instead of bringing the yarn to the front😉like I do, I do the Continental style knitting I bring my finger to the front with my yarn to do the pearl stitch😏 as always hello Arne & Carlito's my 2 favorite beutiful people in the world😘 thank you for another wonderful video 🤗

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching!

[@momgrandma5496]

Thanks for showing how you tension your yarn Arne, will be trying this rib for socks. Carlos, don’t be too harsh on Arne. 🤪 Look, there’s a moose!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Always a moose.

[@lillyofthevalley2289]

Hello good evening from a very stormy Germany😯. Your tipp is as ever very helpful. I tried it in the minute. And what a wonder: the purl stitches became much more stronger because the way of the yarn is not as long as with the other method with putting yarn in front! SUPER!!! I will do it the Norwegian way now! Thank you very much, all the best for you and the people you love. Heartly Gitta from Germany🍀😇😇🍀🌈

[@ARNECARLOS]

Hi Gitta, we are experiencing a storm here in Norway as well! We hope you are safe.

[@lillyofthevalley2289]

@@ARNECARLOS Thank you very much for your good wishes💟 yes it is horrable at some places but fortunately in our area its calm..til now... I wish you all a lucky wonderful time with always creative work! And KNITTING is a therapie for the soul. I think I will do it even when I'm "invisibly"(they call it death) and together with my husband-darling😇😇💗. But in the meantime I will do my very best here, beeing happy and looking at all the wonderful things! Its all experience for "later"! Sorry for my story but its a good feeling to write this because you both are so nice people. Heartly from stormy Germany GittaLloreley🍀😇😇🍀🌈🌞

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@kml223]

I'm just learning to knit and I favour the Norwegian style of knitting, I find it easier. I never knew why 5 needles are sold together but after watching you, now I know why. Ty for showing this ribbing technique.

[@Patntaf2010]

Maybe Freya is seeing my cat name Moose! 😂😂 I recently came across you guys looking for a couple of books on Amazon called "Saltwater Mittens", about Newfoundland knit patterns and your book "Norwegian Knits with a Twist" came up in my search. I've been following you ever since. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and sharing some of your life and heritage.

i know I'm kind of randomly asking but do anyone know of a good website to stream new series online ?

I agree with you! The twisted rib always looks so neat, tidy and the knit stitch is nicely defined. I've used it for mitten cuffs, sock cuffs and the brim of a hat, all with great success. Bring on the thumbs UP!!

Thank you Lucinda!

[@daniellesnyder1244]

I am doing a sock pattern that calls for this ribbing for the very top of the cuff. Initially I hated this stitch because I was fumbling so much (we call it knit through the back loop), but I’m slowly becoming okay with it. 😆 Thank you for commenting that it makes for a skinnier knit…I was having a hard time understanding WHY the pattern designer was using this stitch, but wanted to stick with it.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome Danielle

[@christinelinn9250]

Good evening to you both. Well I loved today's talk about the twisted knit stitch I have used it in the past and it is a lovely neat stitch. You are both so funny you make our Sundays so enjoyable. It was lovely to hear Freja and her imaginary moose lol. I hope you have an amazing week and hope the storm doesn't do any damage to your beautiful home. Stay warm and safe and look after each other. See you next week. Kram x

[@dtrout8254]

I knew about the twisted knit stitch but hadn’t really seen some ribbing done with it and I really like the look of it. It might have been nice for the dog sweater that I’ve started for my son’s greyhound. Of course, I’m also wishing I had won those Prym knitting needles you gave away a while back!!! ;} Anyway, I was interested in seeing how Arne purls because I’ve noticed before that his stitch making was a little different so I’m glad for the knitting culture lesson along with his demo of it. I will give it a try. I knit my stitches the same way but I usually bring my index finger forward and then catch the purl stitch with the needle so my finger does move a little bit. I love your videos and love learning new things!! Thanks for all the teaching!

Perfect. This is exactly what I needed. I just finished knitting a pair of ankle warmers to keep my ankles warm in the winter. I like the end result (I knitted cabled ropes for the first time), but am not completely happy with the ribbed edge. So I'll try the twisted knit stitch in my next pair of ankle warmers (in a different color of course). Thank you!

Bittersweet story: my mom taught all three of her girls to knit as young as 5. Her knitting was exquisite. Fast forward three decades and my excellent knitter sister got a job in a yarn shop and was told she was knitting incorrectly. She re-learned and showed me. We were bewildered. Fast forward two decades and I find ‘Eastern European’ knitting online. It’s the way my mom knitted! She was correct, just different: knit in the back, purl wrapping the stitch clockwise. So when I see this renewed interest in twisted stitch, it feels so affirming.😊 and you are correct it makes the knit stitch Pop! My mom was taught knitting by an Eastern European woman!

[@ARNECARLOS]

That was a lovely story, thank you for sharing Maureen!

[@maureenlewicki437]

ARNE & CARLOS correction though: purl wrapping clockwise, which untwists the stitch

[@Memillerwright]

I love the banter you two have with each other. I am using the twisted knit on a raspberry stitch for one of my daughters scarf. She picked it out. Sophia even laid out the many colored yarns for it. Hope you have a great week.

Hei. Så fint å se at dere også bruker vridd rett. Vanligvis strikke jeg frem om tilbake, slik blir den vridde rette over vrangmasken fra omgangen under. Legger opp 1 maske ekstra som brukes å sy sammen med madrass sting i siden. Håper dette også er nytt for noen, kanskje ikke for dere to. This also work wonders on bought sides of your knitting, sawn together with madrass stitches 👍🧚‍♀️
