Thanks so much for watching!
This is life changing! Totally agree with you. Purling is so much more fun now!!
Aww I LOVE hearing that!!
Thank you so much for showing how to do this! Ive been struggling with different styles of knitting and you just made this beginner knitter actually enjoy knitting!
I'm so glad! 🥳🥳
I agree 100% with everything you said. Norwegian purling saved my fingers and kept me knitting. Great video!
Yes! Thank you!
Oh. My. Word. What a difference your video has made! I’m a crocheter who is trying to teach myself to knit. I was practicing Russian style, but was still struggling to achieve a smooth hand movement. Norwegian is so much easier! I’m still very rusty and loose, but I believe I’ll get it. Thank you so much!
Yay!!! 🎉 Your tension will 💯 improve with practice! So no worries there. When I started this style I practiced on a blanket until I got comfortable and then I was knitting everything with confidence! You will too! Congrats! It’s a fun method 💖
I’m glad you uploaded this video again. I was using it to teach myself to knit.
I love to hear that!! I accidentally deleted my other channel when I was updating my email and biz name.
Game Changer!!!! I'm an English style knitter, in fact, more lever style than anything as I can get a good speed with that. I have never been able get on with continental knitting and I've tried numerous times. I could just about manage the knit stitch although it was more like this picking style but the purl stitch and bringing the yarn in front was beyond me. I envy people who can do the continental style. However, this I have managed to grasp in just a few rows, even the purl stitch. You must have a magic touch when it comes to teaching. I shall practice it a bit more but I already feel confident enough to give it a go in my next project. I'm still a bit fingers and thumbs as it's only been an hour but already I'm really liking this style. I know it will take a while to master it but it's a learning curve I'm enjoying. Thank you, so so much, for sharing this.
Thank you so much for commenting!! It’s wonderful to hear the tutorials are helpful ❤️ i found it takes a little practice to get the tension down but after that you’re golden! I practiced knitting a stockinette blanket to get my tension and that helps immensely! Good luck!! 💖
@@exshawknits Thank you for such a lovely reply ❤ I will pesevere with this because I am getting on so much better than I thought I would ❤🙂
I found combination style for continental was the game changer for me, allows you to pick your purls and knits, you just knit through the back loop! Yarn is automatically on the front side for purls and backs for knits!
When you do a purl make sure on the last step the needle is on the right side of the yarn to your finger . If it on the left side it will make a yarn over . Ask me how I know. Lol . folks once u get the hang of the way she is knitting you will love it . I’m self taught and this is how I knit.

I've subscribed because your video is super-clear to watch the knit & purl techniques of the Norwegian style. Am an English style knitter needing a change ... and a challenge😊. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate hearing that❤️❤️❤️
Purling looks complicated but I'll definitely give this a try. Thank you for a thorough tutorial
You’re very welcome ☺️ It can be intimidating at first but you got this! It’s just practice. When I taught myself the Norwegian purl stitch I made a blanket so I could get the hang out it plus it really helped with tension. Which made all the difference. Good luck! 💕
This earned a follow. Thank you.
Good to hear!
I knit stockenette Norwegian Style. After I got the hang of it, I loved it so much better, but for me, when I purl, I guess you would call it picking. I just bring my yarn to the front, grab it and put through. So fast and easy. I think purling this way is fun, but no matter how hard I tired, I personally had issues with uniformity.
Thanks for sharing! Yes, I also struggled at first to get a nice uniform look. I practiced with a blanket and that really helped with tensioning. But honestly if you enjoy purling the other way, I’d do that then. It’s all about enjoyment 🩷 So happy you found my channel!
This is the best, thank you. My struggle is over.
Seriously just changed my life. Thank you!
You’re welcome! So happy you found it helpful 💖

Loved the tutorial, will love to see how you knit using two colors. If you have a tutorial already could you please share the link?
Thanks
Thank you! I dont yet but def should! Thank you for the suggestion ☺️
Nothing like starting new, congratulations on your new channel! :)
Thank you!! 😊 I appreciate that! I wish I didnt have to restart but thats okay. Thanks for being here 🥰
As a crocheter all my life, when I learned to knit, I went straight to Norwegian style and didn't even know it. I thought I was doing Continental. I've just never been a fan of having my fingers sticking in the air. For purling, I initially tried Continental purling and was like, "Absolutely not." Norwegian purling saved my knitting journey.
Thank you for sharing! I feel the same about Norwegian purling! 🩷
This is my favorite knitting method
Mine too 💖
Great tutorial! 🎉❤ Thanks!
You are so welcome!🤗
Perfect tutorial….i can do it ….happy dance
Right on! So happy it was helpful!
Comme nous les Suisses!!! 3x + rapide que les Français et anglais ! Cool
I knit like that (but i didn't know it was a real technic... 😅)
Does the purl stitch get stretched out? It seems like a lot of slack is needed. I'd like to use it for ribbing bc switching the yarn to the front every other stitch really slows me down
At first when you’re learning I found that you need a little more slack but once you get the hang of it then no.
@@exshawknits oh awesome, I will definitely give this a try!! Could be a gamechanger
If you visit my Instagram page I have a small brown ribbed infinity scarf that is done with ribbing! instagram.com/kimcreatesca
I am old school Russian knitter (learned at grandmothers side 60 years ago). I am trying to do brioche , and have a friend who is continental knitter trying as well and the technique does not work past the first 2 rows. Do we have to learn a whole different style to make an item from brioche
I actually haven’t done a lot of brioche so I couldn’t tell you.
If you want to learn to broiche knit: watch Arne & Carlos videos on broiche knitting. Norwegian style of knitting makes it easier to broiche knit.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing
