The Norwegian Purl Revisited by (ARNE & CARLOS)

[@ARNECARLOS]

So, who is better at instructing, Arne or Carlos or both?

[@LilChi1964]

Well your both genius’s 🤣. Together you make a great team.

[@felpuda2910]

ARNE & CARLOS BOTH, you are awesome, I’m so happy that I found your videos. Thanks so much for your videos. Stay safe.

[@juliehorner889]

Both

[@elainelewis1781]

Teamwork makes the dream work!

[@Christine-zk6hk]

You both are. But I think in this instance Carlos explains it a little better because he had to learn this way after knitting another way, while Arne has always knitted this way (I think) and it's more second nature to him. But I love you both.

[@linmethven3796]

After 68 years of knitting you have taught me a more comfortable way of knitting for a arthritic hands ,thank you

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@Sarinhajd]

Agree! This is very nice! Consider checking Portuguese style as well... My mom suffers of fibromyalgia, arthritis and arthrosis... I witnessed first hand how painful it can be. I like mixing styles when I'm bored of one repetitive motion... The important thing is to feel good and enjoying knitting🥰❤️ ...with the Portuguese style purl stitch you just have to flick your thump...

[@mirandawallace400]

I started learning Norwegian style so I can keep knitting. Last night I was struggling and feeling foolish and as I was concentrating I started seeing red which is not my yarn colors or needle and was confusing. When I focused I realized my arthritis was flaring up and I didn’t even notice! That gave me the confidence that I am on the correct path for Norwegian style knitting!

[@torakfett3351]

Literally why I hate purling, the movement hurts the joints I have it in. I can’t wait to try this!! ❤❤

[@torakfett3351]

@@Sarinhajdwill try this also!! Thank you! 😊 Big hugs to your mom fibro is so hard. ❤❤

[@kathleenhagen192]

This is so great to me. I am an American who learned to knit as an exchange student in Larvik, in 1981/82. Within two weeks of arriving I had knitting needles in hand and was told “ You will be the best knitter in the world because Norwegians are the best knitters in the world and we will teach you to knit our way.” True that!! I have been knitting ever since and everyone I meet and knit with are impressed at how fast and easily I knit. Thank You to every Norwegian knitter!!! Your country gave me my lifetime dearest skill!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for sharing this fun story!

[@barbarapinto2305]

I hope to be faster and more effortless. I’ve converted about 2 weeks ago. I like this method, but I’m not consistent.

I could knit when I came to Norway, but there I learned how to make a sweater without instructions, with cut-and-sew. I’m also forever grateful!

[@dianesize]

Oh my goodness!!! I am 71 and have been knitting since age 7. I’ve been knitting “English” or with the throwing method. It takes so much longer than your Norwegian method. I am proud to say that I believe I have mastered Norwegian! I still have a bit of trouble with tension, but it’s only been a few hours. I am so excited! Thank you so much for your tutorials! You have revitalized this old girl’s knitting! I had a lovely Norwegian uncle named Henry Kallestad. I adored him, but unfortunately he died as a very young man when I was about 5 years old. Maybe he’s proud of me!

Happy knitting!

[@tiiapursiainen6886]

Greetings from Finland! This is how I have been knitting since I started at 9 years of age. This is the style taught in Finnish schools.

[@ARNECARLOS]

😃

[@annebashida]

In Denmark as well 😊 Maybe a more correct term would be ‘the Nordic purl’? In the old days, sheepherders would knit socks (for selling), while wandering and following their flock, the yarn ball hanging from a belt... A firm grip and a technique that allowed the knitters to keep their eyes more on the sheep than on their hands (and minding their steps) must have been essential, right? These techniques are the same that now allow knitters to easily follow our favourite series on tv while knitting without looking down (much) 😂 Happy ‘nordic’ purling, everyone 🧶 👀

[@sp4874]

Thanks guys. I’m now a full Norwegian convert. I immediately took to the Norwegian knit stitch but found the purl tricky at first. Having built up some more knitting experience I revisited this video as I’m currently doing a shawl that has lots of purls and my purl method was just not comfortable for me. This time it clicked! The Norwegian purl gives so much more control, better tension and is comfortable and relaxed - I love it! Cha Cha Cha! 🕺

[@gailland5308]

I didn't know it's called a Norwegian style

[@juliehorner889]

I’ve loved knowing this method. My mother and grandmother taught me English Knitting. I’ve noticed when I use your style of Norwegian knitting my hands and arms don’t get to tired. Thank you!! I do enjoy watching Arne knit and purl, but I appreciate Carlos’ slower explanation. 😉 Your both very talented.

Arne and Carlos, today is November 20th, 2023. I started knitting the pot holder you just published and was struggling with the Norwegian purl, so I pulled up this video for a refresher. I just love these teaching videos. You are both excellent teachers and I refer to theses videos over and over again. Thank you!

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad you liked them!

[@bryonygilbert918]

[@ARNECARLOS]

Keep it up!

[@angelinemeyer3153]

My Daughter was a Foreign Exchange student in Norway and learned this way to purl. She taught me and I liked it but when she wasn't around I could not remember. Now I can learn again. Thanks!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@jladley]

Wow! The Norwegian purl is WAAY easier for me to learn than the continental purl. I always avoided continental knitting because I couldn't master the purl. Thanks so much for this tutorial!

[@mayaegee]

Same!!! So much easier than the continental purl stitch!!

[@sqkrchik]

I love the multiple time Carlos repeats the instructions and mantra. I Got It! I’m purling!!

[@jenspep]

I love this!!! You relate the knitting to another part of life. I’ll always remember the “cha cha cha”, and “start going under and harpoon, go out the way you came in.” Love this one!❤️❤️❤️❤️

You are welcome Kelly! Happy knitting

[@mariastochholm5235]

I have just started knitting about a month ago and tried out both this method and the ‘regular’ one with the index finger in front of the left needle, and this one I find MUCH easier. I find it very complicated to have to move the thread across the needle every time you purl. I like the way you demonstrate it in the video. Very easy to follow for new knitters I think! I don’t know about the origin of this knitting style. I’m from Denmark and was thought this method by my mom and a couple of danish youtubers. But my sister in law is from Norway and she is knitting with the finger in front of the needle. So I don’t know… But I would say, choose the method you find to be the easiest 😊 For me, this is definitely it.

[@barbarajacobs3484]

Carlos goes slower, but I love listening to Arne talk. So both. Love this. Thanks for teaching.

[@Summy781]

Carlos, I am an American knitter of 30 years. I have always wanted to continental knit but have struggled. After watching you Norwegian knit and purl I am hooked. Very nice. Maybe this will alleviate my hand cramping. I'll keep you posted,. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@lyndasnart7823]

I can’t thank you enough for these videos! I’m a beginner knitter with a background in crochet, and my hands were already cramping with the English and continental styles. The Norwegian method is SO gentle on the hands and you guys did an AMAZING job of explaining it, so patiently and gently and with word pictures, honestly, thank you so much!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Have fun!

[@dianearnold5381]

I’ve always knitted the American way by “throwing” the yarn and after watching you for a bit, I was intrigued by the Norwegian knit and pearl and wanted to learn it. It was helpful to watch both Arne and Carlos - at first Carlos was the most helpful by showing the exact placement of the needle at each step. I could make the correct moves, but it felt so awkward. Then I watched Arne’s video from 2017 and realized there is a easy flow ( the DANCE!) that I needed to master! That helped so much. But I still didn’t have it... I then watched Carlos again and realized that in the Norwegian way of purling the needle moves dramatically down, then behind to grab the yarn off the finger and then , at the third CHA it goes upward. This was the key for me because in the way I have always knitted, the needles stay in the same basic place (and at the same angle to one another)and it is the hands that do all the moving. Does that make sense? For me that was the key. I am sure I couldn’t have learned it without you both! You two are a great team in so many ways. A wonderful example of how to collaborate in work and play and life.. this is such a soothing thing to see in these crazy times. Thanks for all!:)

[@user-bj1dq7zh4o]

Having purled like this over half a century already, I want to give you all an insight on this method. As you keep practicing it, you'll find out how your stitches on your left needle move towards the tip of the needle and the movement of the right hand makes is shortened! That is the gate to fast purling and less arthritis!

[@georgyevans]

Thank you, thank you! I have been trying Fair Isle and, as I normally hold my yarn in my right hand, have struggled to manage a left hand hold. Keep the finger down and pull the cord has revolutionised this!

[@anifish84]

I learned knitting after crocheting for years, and this is how I finally learned to purl after watching lots of KZbin videos. I absolutely baffled the other ladies in my knitting group who had never seen it that way before. I definitely wish I had had this demo way back then - it’s a lot easier to understand than the video I watched, which explained it as a “trick.”

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad you liked it.

[@marilynsullivan4361]

I have been right on the edge of tendinitis, and your videos are rescuing me. Thank you! Never too old to learn something new! ❤️

[@beagare2197]

This has revolutionised my knitting! I taught myself how to knit continental style some years ago, but always needed to make a special effort to tighten the tension on my purl stitches. This technique has sorted that out completely - the tension is perfect without any extra effort. Thank you both so much.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad that you found it useful!

[@doloresdarnell130]

Loved this tutorial! I can proudly say, “I’ve got it”! I’m 81 and have been a long time knitter in the continental fashion. Over time knitting becomes hard on the hands, this way to knit makes so much more sense. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks! Thank you.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Congratulations!

[@marnimacleod5287]

I've purled "backwards" my whole life (yarn in front) - that's a LOT of twisted stitches. I always had to knit through the back loop to avoid twisting stitches. As a result, my tension was always much looser than it should have been. This tutorial was super easy to understand (thank you!) and I FINALLY purl the "right" way :).

I taught myself to knit at 12 from a book, throwing yarn. My future mother-in-law said that watching me was painful. She taught me picking but forgot to teach me to purl that way. So I taught myself and I guess I did okay. My technique is a little different from Arne and Carlos' but it works. Happy knitting!!

[@ingridmatthews6627]

@@diane38 It's the Crocheter's Savior

[@annebashida]

I have never seen a danish knitter throwing the yarn. Maybe this is actually the ‘scandinavian purl’? My guess is that this way of knitting goes back to the olden days when sheepherders were knitting socks for selling, while herding the flock Men, women and children were knitting -even on the move and therefore had to have a tight grip on their work, so not to loose their needles. When throwing you often have to let go of one of the needles to throw the 🧶 🙂

[@gwenda2808]

After putting down the knitting needles in 1980something (because I was 12 and stopped caring, lol) and decades of crocheting, this weekend I decided to try knitting again. My mind was blown that I can hold the yarn in my left hand. It feels much more natural as a crocheter. But, I was having trouble with figuring out how to purl. I watched a couple of videos and saw some others demonstrating the Norwegian Purl (mind blown again), I was definitely having that "finger out" problem. This was SO helpful, cha cha cha! I'm sure you hear such things all the time. It's a real gift to be able to explain things in simple ways others can understand! Thank you.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome and have fun on your knitting journey!

[@dwlmoy]

That was very clear Carlos. Thank you. As I have mentioned the Norwegian knitting has given me the option of switching from the throw technique which gives relief to sore muscles. I learned the knit from Arne but gave up on the purl as it seemed easier to purl the throw style. But with your excellent clarity in tuition I have got the purl too. Arne teaches and guides me in so many principles and ideas, but when it comes to actually physically tutoring fine details , I understand Carlos better.

[@ARNECARLOS]

So well done Carlos!... and Arne, you’ve captured my attention, the purl was holding me back from converting to the Norwegian method. I get it now. You caught my attention when you mentioned tendinitis which I developed recently. Didn’t believe my doctor when she told me to take a break from knitting thinking that was ridiculous. Maybe she was right. I’ll let you know if the switch is successful, hopefully it will help me to find relief. 🙏🏻

[@lyndaperky4687]

This was perfect for me, thank you. I was able to see each movement clearly. I decided to start a hat and stop on a knit row to get ready for this tutorial. Today I will start doing purl rows over and over. After purling five or more rows at the same sitting I should be getting the hang of it. I am so excited to purl every day so the stitch and a rhythm become second nature. Oh, and the pull the cord is great. Hopefully the need to pull the cord will go away.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Good luck with your hat.

[@ruthcollins7734]

I watched Carlos' video first and it help me understand technically what to do, but then I went back and watched Arne, and it really helped me to see how he holds and moves his hands. I really think I needed both. Anyway, I can do it! and I'm already faster than my old way of knitting. Thank you

Thank you for showing this method. I never could knit or crochet with my finger up and therefor I couldn’t knit the continental way. So I am glad that you showed how to knit this way. It resembles my way of holding the tread as if I am crocheting. Because this method makes my stitches much looser than when I knit the English way, and I am in the middle of a sock knitting project I have to stick with “throwing” the thread for now.

I found your Norwegian purl this week, and I have to say I am so happy to learn this. I have always knitted the way you show here with finger close and yarn down. Then when I would move yarn in front to purl, tension and hand position would change. Knitting for about 8 years and have finally found the way that works for me= The Norwegian way. This is SO VERY helpful!! Thank you for teaching!

Thank you for watching Ali!

Yay! I just completed my first Norwegian purl. I did 2 rows in Norwegian knit and am amazed at how even and smooth the stitches look as well as how easily tension is maintained. I’ve found my new way of knitting and purling. Thank you!

[@ARNECARLOS]

[@musicalegenie7487]

Thank you so much for your videos on Norwegian knitting and purling! First, I got the knitting and now I can finally purl. I watched the video several times and then it clicked. I love it! I used to be an English thrower but that has all changed.

I am from India, colder part of the country. KZbin did a great job suggesting you guys. You are awesome and I learned Norwegian knitting from your videos. I could knit and purl so easily which i had been struggling for more than two weeks. Yes, I am a beginner and I am glad to see best technic at the right time :) I did lot of circus with my working yarn, now I simply love how my index and middle figures are placed on the needle and the flow of working yarn without much twist and the emergency trick of pulling the yarn down was fabulous. I am totally enjoying it! Thank you!

Welcome to our channel!

[@tracyreid1670]

So I am an avid crocheter and I couldn't get my hands to purl until I learned the Norwegian purl by watching Arne. I think I watched that video 10 times until I got it. Now I enjoy knitting just as much as crocheting. However I did not now about keeping my fingers down. I'm always going to remember to pull the cord in case of emergency 😋 Thank you so much and I love watching your videos.

Dear Arne and Carlos, Thank-you for your wonderful instruction! Now I can purl continental style and I could not before!
