I’m making sure I go back and watch every episode
Thank you for watching Wendy
Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks? I've been knitting for over 50 yrs and finally I've learned this fabulous way of knitting. TY Arne & Carlos 😍👍🏻 Vickie G USA
Congratulations!
Thank you. I also liked seeing the two different techniques - although I find it difficult to get my head around the continental pearl technique! Great also that you showed some really complex possibilities. Really enjoyed this demo.
Arne y Carlos: muy bonito, muy interesante; seréis mis nuevos maestros, muchísimas gracias
😃
Wow...love this video
Soy una tejedora consumada porque aprendi a tejer crochet cuando tenia 6 añ0s de edad, con agujas y coser a maquina de pedal un poco tiempo despues😅😅....😅 deje de tejer hace casi 8 años, porque estube en otros proyectos de trabajo con mis hermanos 😆pero este año deje mi proyecto con mis hermanos por mi salud... Este año, con la internet y gracias a ustedes he retomado lo que mas me gusta hacer TEJER, BORDAR Y TODO TIPO DE MANUALIDADES😍😍ahora tengo un pequeño taller de reparacion de prendas y todo lo que tiene que ver con artes manuales en mi casa, estoy feliz!! 🤩😍😍😉😅😅Grasias a ustedes sigo aprendiendo!!Gracias chicos me encantan sus podcast me divierte mucho Arne con sus ocurrencias y Carlos me gusta mucho cuando te dirijes a las personas de habla hispana, como yo!! me apena no saber ingles, porque lo entiendo muy poco, y no puedo disfrutar los programas en el momento que los transmiten, tengo que esperar a que este disponible la traduccion de youtube...no me pierdo sus podcast, me encantan, gracias!!🤩🤩🤩😁😁😁👋👋👋
Thanks so much! I saw a pattern for a scarf in April this year and decided to knit it when I hadn’t knitted for decades! Only when the pattern book arrived it was double knitting which I was not prepared for. Now thanks to this video I’ve been able to start on my Moomin scarf. Excellent 👍 and I’m going to crochet the floral rug too!
Wow, that is a fun story! Good luck on your scarf and glad to be of help.
I’m a thrower and proud to be slow! Love the technique!
Glad you liked it and good luck with your knitting, what is your current project?
I am working on a pair of socks and of course I had to order your beautiful sock yarn!
Fantastic !
Very nice video out in the sun.
And an old one😄
They are the greatest knitters I've ever seen
I'm a thrower lol nice to see someone demonstrate the way I do it. My grandmother taught me to knit and that is just the method that works for me when I double knit. And it helps me not get confused if I add a third color.
Ill attempt this another time.Thanks.
Give it a go.
These techniques were painful to watch. I start with the two yarns tied together and use a figure 8 style cast on. Then I use both the throwing and picking technique at the same time. The top view color in my dominate hand throwing and the backside color in less dominate picking. The two create a balanced tension that is not too tight, just need to remember to pass both yarns back and forth between knit and purl. But I like listening to your calming voices and sweet interactions. Thank you.
Thank you for watching Linda!
Great video! I loved the idea of sitting in the garden with the sunshine!
Arne, you said it perfectly at the end, "Yeah, we're done. Let's knit!" Awesome. :D
I love it when you show techniques for both throwing and picking. Then I practice both and decide which is best for me.
I've knitted a bedspread of my favorite album from my favorite band in double knitting. I would love you to see it. It took me so loooong, but in the end I was so proud 😊
That sounds amazing!
I am doing the quarantine knitting and became interested in the double knitting. I didn’t know it was a technique. So I had to learn how it was accomplished. I think that will mess with my old brain, however now I have to try. Thank you 🙏 stay well.
Good luck!
Arne and Carlos, Thank you for showing me the two sided knitting technique! Loved it! I am anxious to view your video about stranded color hat knitting! I am so excited I found your videos!
You guys make me smile when i am sad , great video I hope to make this pot holder soon. Thanks 😊
😀😀
This is so magical!! Thanks for sharing about double knitting Arne & Carlos. This is the first time that I really understand what double knitting means. :-)
Glad to hear!
Thank you so much for making this easy to understand.
You are welcome Cathy!
You guys are so awesome. I adore you. Thank you so much for your time and experience sharing. ❤️
Thank you for watching Jennifer!
Wow! So glad I found you guys. I have been wanting to learn double knitting the correct way and I believe I just did. Awesome job! Thanks for such an awesome tutorial.
I really like the hat and blanket ideas. I've seen this before but never tried it. Wonderful!
I've just learned brioche this week with the "Lockdown Brioche MKAL" on Ravelry so I think I'm finally ready to try double sided fair isle knitting now! I'm super excited to make a wide cowl with this technique! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. :) Hope yall are staying safe. Happy knitting!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing your amazing work. I knit in the portuguese style of knitting but I am going to try Arne's way. If I could, I would like to suggest that when you are demonstrating how to knit your projects that you use thicker needles and yarn because it is really hard for us to see what you are doing especially when you are using several colors at the same time. Thank you so much and I look forward to learn more and watch more new videos from you. Happy New Year. Carla
I so agree. Hard to see the movements and stitches
Fantastic video thank you!
Thanks so much guys! I have found my next project. I'm sure everyone would love to see the blanket that you made! Peace & Blessings
I never knew how to do this thanks for da easy tutorial
I love these guys. The beginning was absolutely hilarious. Arnette cracks me up. Was laughing throughout, thanks guys! Will try to make a scarf with this pattern. "Then when you want to go completely crazy you can knit a reindeer" lol
I have never even heard of this before, just discovered it today and now I'm dying to try it. I must be a "thrower"because it seemed easier for me. You have so many interesting videos on your youtube site.
Oh awesome work, thank you so much for your uploads I am loving them all X
I can't wait to try learning this stitch. I know you can make some beautiful things using this. Thank you so much! :)
Wow. I think this technique would try my patience!
Cool!
Thank you Wanda!
Many thanks! They answered with this tutorial a question that I have asked myself for years. Here in South America it is difficult for me to find challenges that satisfy my curiosity in the knitting. You just made my knitting more challenge again. Greetings from Argentina
I have always wondered how double knitting was done. Thank you for showing it so clearly!!! However, I think I will leave it to the experts.
You are welcome but is not as hard as it looks, one stitch at a time.
Nunca vi trabalho mas lindo que o de vocês dois 👏👏👏💕💕😍😘🇧🇷
Love you guys, you're fun to watch and very informative!
You are both so great and talented. Thank you very much. I watch and learn from slower videos but then I come here to be entertained and see your much more complicated patterns. Hugs fro Canada! 🤗. ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Thank so much , I will try double knitting .
I also love double knitting in single color for cardigan bands. The extra thickness gives more stability and even the button holes stay neater.
The first thing I ever double knit was a sock heel that I messed up. I was trying to do the heel stich. I liked it and did the second sock the same way.
Whatever works!
thank you
You are welcome Raymond!
great work
Great idea, thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊
Thank you so much for demonstrating this technique! I am an English cottage knitter so Carlos' way is how I'm going to try this and I suspect it'll be a little easier because I hold my right needle like a pencil and can manipulate the yarn to slightly more effect. At least I hope so but the beautiful results are so worth the time and effort.
Thank you for your comment and for watching. Let us know how you get along!
I love you guys I do not crochet well but I made a baby blanket in pink and blue . You begin by doing a single crochet like three
Rows long enough to double up the work up, then you work the color away from you . And you have one side pink and the other side blue. So you don't have worry about who you are knitting for boy or girl. I know the knitting is harder to do. I have made many baby blankets I learned to make the blanket when I was eleven. And now I am 75. I learned to knit when I was 6 years old. And I wore it to first grade. My teacher didn't believe that I knit it myself. My mom
Said yes she made it. Unfortunately my mom passed away when I was 9. I love you guys one more way when I went to college I majored in voice in sacred music
and we had to study all liturgies so we could go into any church and conduct the service music and liturgy. I really love you guys . The Lativian people wore there costumes until they were married. The costumes were made by the wearer. They start when they were 5 to 6 years old.
I really love you two.
That is clever!
Hallo Arne and Carlos . I’m from Russia and I’ve described just some weeks ago . And I’ m REALLY IMPRESSED your videos! And watching more and more of them . Bravo !!! And another one : we have friends in Flatanger and I use your work-shops for practice my English 🤣 Thank you for that . Good luck ! Are you OK in this strange time ? Hope so 😊
Would love to try this but I think I would horrible at it. It is so nice. Thanks for the video.
Wow that is amazing but I think I would be doing pot holders for some time🥰
😀
I like Arne’s technique using the Norwegian Purl better.
That was most informative! I'm going to give it a try! I think it could snooker your brain!
Glad you liked it!
👏 Awesome technique. The reindeer is amazing...I’m not going to ask you for the pattern... it’s way above my capabilities. X
Tack snälla för jätte bra video, 👍 tänker pröva detta, har aldrig stickat så här, vill sticka vantar med denna metod.
Hi Arne & Carlos. I wish we were neighbors to knit together often. I am interested in a headband in this style stitch. Is there such a video? Love your videos & your garden. Thank you.
I thought I was great at knitting until I discovered your channel lol. Oh dear, long way to go.
Keep up the good work!
I have never seen a purl where you leave the yarn at the back! This could be life changing!
Give it a go!
You are so cute😍 thank you for all this tuto❤️
Thank you for watching!
Hi I have brought a ring to use with two lots of wool of internet it a ring with two little ring a tatch love watching You working
❤
Hey, Guys! This is a technique I've loved for years! I do all the knits throwing and the purls continental. Maybe other viewers would like to see you demonstrate it that way?
Maybe, but we do knit the Norwegian way and tend to stick to that. There are probably a lot of great tutorials out there on that.
Thank you for the tuorial.
You are welcome Agnes!
Love it 😀But a little hard to see.
Quelindo sus trabajos me gustaría a prender aser diseños bendiciones 😘
❤
Muito obrigado
Eu faço tricô com o fio de lã á volta do pescoço! Quero muito conseguir esse magnífico resultado!
Obrigado
Thank you!
Thanks a lot for showing. Is the technique the same in the next row. Could Arne perhaps show more , would be great, im a picker myself..Super ,tak for at vise hvordan man laver to lag.
Hi guys, great video. I just finished a my first double knit project. I tried both ways of knitting, picking and throwing, and then ended up doing both. Keeping one colour in one hand and the other in the other hand and it seemed to work well. (I didn't end up with a big knot of yarn.) I just now wonder if there are any tips you would have for knitting with both hands.
Knit man h
I haven't done double knitting yet, but in other colourwork I do that as well.
I was just refreshing my memory on double knitting for a project I'm starting and of course my first attempt I ended up not closing the beginning of the project and having two knitted pieces, which got me thinking, would double knitting be a good process for knitting the front halfs of a cardigan or sweater or open vest or maybe sleeves knit flat? Sort of a two-at-a-time? Wouldn't this in theory create the mirror image? Perhaps some time I'll try it just to see what happens, until then, I figured you both are highly skilled with knitting and if anyone tried it it would be you guys. Just curious. Thanks for all the tips and tutorials!
That could be something
HI Guys, thanks for the video.I love that you show the technique in two styles of knitting. I think a combination of throw or pick and Russian/Greek/Portugese style would be good, holding each yarn separately, I would also be great if, after showing us samples, you had a plain background, as the definition of what you are knitting as you do it is hard to see clearly..
Thank you for your feedback Barbara.
Wow. I'm going through all your all videos and how much i miss! You guys are explaining things so nicely! Thanks heaven we could use English as universal language (even if i would LOVE to understand and listen to you too talking in your own native language
Hi! I just found your treasure trove of videos😊 your work is flawless and stunning!!! Approximately how long did it take you to make the checkerboard square?? Thanks so much for sharing your gorgeous work!😍😍😍 Desireé from San Francisco CA
Never done that but Will try it is very beautiful
I knit mostly lace and aran patterns but you have inspired me to knit Scandinavian patterns ..... Always wanted to knit an Islandic sweater. Hope I Will soon Thanks Arne and Carlos for make it so easy and natural
I just discovered your channel and I think your tutorials are interesting and easy to understand.
Here, you mention that changing colors keeps the 2 sides attached to each other.
What if....... you don't want to have a pattern, but you want the 2 sides attached to each other all the time. (If both sides are the same color, or different colors) ?
Thank you for watching Jackie!
Hi. I love your videos! Have you ever used or are familiar with a pattern that uses the double stitch on the instep of a sock to make the sole smooth and cushioned?
I find that if I cast on both yarns at same time instead of alternating like you do I don't get the separation of the fabrics and if I twist the two yarns so the purl color twists around the knit color I can knit and purl the first two stitches and not get the split there either.
If you want to work two socks or two sleeves at one time though, it is good to know how to keep the layers separately.
Great video! I've just finished a double knitted scarf but I'm confused about how to bind off. Could you make a video showing how please? I can't find any videos of your technique. Thanks!!
Hi Caterina, thank you for this suggestion.
I'm good with the basics of double knitting. But I am having the hardest time with increases and decreases according to the patterns. They arent adding up. Do you have a video of doing increases and decreases in double knitting?
We do not, but maybe we will have to make one.
I don’t knit like Arne or Carlos. I think what I do is called continental knitting, although I’m not sure because I taught myself from books. I move the yarn in front of the needle for purling and behind the needle knit stitches.
Good, just knit the way that works best for you!
I prefer knitted cast-on, is that ok?
Love to learn face isle!
Thank you for showing this technique. I’m forever leaning and am thankful I found your channel. I originally leaned from my grandma how to knit and purl (throwing) but later learned how to knit and purl the Norwegian way. Carlos I wanted to ask about your purl as you throw clockwise around the needle and I was taught counterclockwise. Can you explain how throwing one way vs the other affects the stitches?
Welcome to our channel! We have a lot of other tutorials on Norwegian knitting, make sure you check them out.
It must be that as long as you're consistent, I guess it doesn't matter which direction you wrap the yarn for a purl stitch.
A woman in my knitting group who had been knitting for many years suddenly learned one night that she had been wrapping her purl stitches in the "wrong" direction. The person sitting across from her is the one who noticed the discrepancy. We all looked closely at her work and could see that it had a slightly different texture.
I think it might twist the stitch but I am not sure. But I agree the best thing is to stay consistent.
Hi guys. The book on the table - it that a new book of yours?
The reindeer looks nice! Your own design or a pattern you found? Where are you guys (geographically)?

Love the reindeer. Does the pattern feature in any of your books or is it possible to get it elsewhere please?
We have included a raindeer pattern on our Christmas sock. Check it out in our website shop.
That looks great! Do you have a pattern for the red and white coaster?
Hi Carol, all the patterns we have available are on our website or in the blog.
Merci pour vos explications mais pourriez-vous nous expliquer comment faire des diminutions pour les emmanchure
Merci
You are welcome.
I’m just starting with this technique and I’m a thrower and struggling with my tension. Any suggestions? 😊

Would you go down a needle size then the yarn calls for?
You should make a swatch and then see how it fits.
I can't figure out what im doing wrong i have only done one project knitting and am trying to do my second like this but so far i have just got stripes i knit flicking...i think and pearl Russian so the thread thing doesn't get it explained for me
Is it possible to do double knitting in entrelac?
Hi there, I've been entrelac knitting for quite a few years. I don't believe you can double knit an entrelac pattern because of the constant turning of the work and the constant pick up of stitches making the zig zag pattern. But you never know. I'm sure someone out there could possibly find a way to do it. Maybe you. :)
I want to learn how to do a double knitted hat in the round. How do I know how many stitches to cast on?
belenina41 if you are making your own pattern and cast on 100 stitches normally, you now need 200 stitches. You cast on alternating each colour. I am making my first double knit project and it’s a hat. It will seem too big but remember that it will still be 100 stitches, there just happen to be another 100 on the inside. I find knitting in the round double to not be any different. Just cast on and make your join as normal. Unlike knitting on sticks though, you never turn your work so you don’t have to think through reversing everything when you turn. You just knit your pattern one way and it magically turns out opposite when you look inside the hat! Good luck to you! ❤️🇨🇦❤️
Sir..how we knitting 3 or 4 different color.. and how we cast on.pls reply or is there any tutorial
ua-cam.com/video/foMIkgt8fKk/v-deo.html here is a tutorial about how to cast on. When doing more colours you follow the same method
@@ARNECARLOS thank you sir 🙏
My thanks to all the local ladies who have taught these two how to knit…
