I'm a first time knitter (previous crocheter) and because of your very clear pattern and video I was able to successfully complete a whole mitten as my first ever project! Thank you for filming and posting this :)
Thank you so much for doing this tutorial in English! It was wonderful to watch. You definitely gave me the confidence to begin my mittens. And, your English is great!
What a wonderful tutorial!! My great-grandparents came from Norway to Canada, so I thought I would learn to knit these in honor of them!! Thank you for all your help!
You are very wecome and I'm happy that you find the video helpful. So great to hear that you have Norwegain roots. Many emigrated in the 1800's. I myself have a lot of family in the US =)
Thank you for this video and the pattern which I have bought from the link. I wrote to thank you through the download as well, I am using hand spun wool. Your video is very helpful - especially your cast on with the "stretchy" method. Best Wishes from Canada!
Thankyou for this video. It helped me to knit my first pair of selbu mittens from the Norwegian Knitting Designs - 90 Years On book, all by charts! Your attention to detail and the ease which you explain how and why made it great viewing and great teaching. Thankyou again.
Your English is FINE! Your knitting skill is awesome! I've been watching Arne & Carlos & learning Norwegian knit & purl. Your explanations and the pattern is beautiful! More, please! Thanks! ...from Maryland, U.S.A (near Washington, D.C.)
Thank you for your excellent lessons. I never thought to knit off the last row, I usually have to hunt for a tapestry needle. Your English is beautiful and the grammer is great. Better than some English speakers. You are a very patient teacher, with enough information for watchers to learn how to make their own Selbu mittens.
I love this video and creator. I was never much into knitting, i was always crochet gal, and selbu mittens were the only thing i ever wanted to knit. This video si brilliant. Thank yo so much for your help. I am now able to knit mittens and other stuff and more importantly i strarted to uderstand written pattern.
I rely on this tutorial so much I've watched it over and over. You English is wonderful you explain this so we'll, I have no trouble making these lovely mittens. Thank you again.
Working on a pair now for a gift. You have the best tutorial I've seen. I appreciate your talents and wish you the very best. I'm looking forward to watching you in the future. You were trained by wonderful teachers(family) 😊 I do want to know what brand of dpn needles you use. The 5 pack of needles, I cannot find here in Colorado, maybe online.?
@@teriadams7398 Thank you so much! Both of my grandmothers and another old lady I was related to, taught me when I was a little girl. Later, every time I wanted to learn something new or had a problem I went to them. One grannie still going strong =) Actually, I use my grandmothers old needles as well. Have no idea what brand they are, but they might be Prym or Novi.
Thank you so much for this excellent video! I fell in love with Norwegian mittens after watching The Kings Choice. What a great King he was! All for Norway! You are an excellent teacher!
Thank you so much for your comment! So happy that the video is helpful. Agree 100% I'm actually from Elverum, where the King said his "no". My grandparents barely made it out of the town center when it was bombed the day after. I grew up listening to them telling stories about their dramatic escapes and everything that happened, so this part of Norwegian history and ww2 history is very much alive to me.
@@bergofnorway Thank you for this most interesting information! My grandmother came over from Norway for a visit when she was 17, unfortunately she was so ill on the ship she never went back. Her Mothers farm was taken over by the Germans and made into a landing strip. My Great Grandmother was allowed to live in her own house. My Mom said my Grandmother would cry when she got letters from her Mother with so much blacked out. My Grandmother was one tough little lady so for her to cry is heartbreaking. We are all very interested in the history in this house. My husband is Danish, came over when he was 9 years old. What a King! Thank you so much for sharing your history. The Norwegians really suffered during that war. Thanks again and keep up your wonderful work! Loved those mittens on the soldier in the movie! If you ever make that pattern please let me know, Mange Tak! Mindy
This was so very helpful as I am working on my first pair of mittens. I was sad to hear you apologize for your English at the end - I thought your English was fine and everything was explained and demonstrated clearly. Thank you!!
Hi! Thank you so much for your nice comment! You are very welcome. I am happy to hear that the video was helpful to you. Great to hear that my English was OK!
What a great tutorial! Thank you. My Father came from Norway. My Aunt knit this pattered for him many years ago. I gave them to my son as a keep sake from his Grandfather. Now I can knit for all my family. You have a wonderful web site which I can choose different patterns, but will start with this free one. I knit in the same style as you, so easy to follow, Thank you and many blessings
Cheers from Argentina! I been thinking about making selbu mittens for a while, but never understood how to make the thumbs and the tip by looking at the patterns. This video is just what I needed! Clear and detailed explanation, and your english is great! thank you so much.
Your English is FANTASTIC! I was listening to how fluent you are in absolute amazement. I speak several languages and but for one, I have never achieved your fluency and superb accent. Oh, and your teaching is really really excellent!
Thank you for your kind words! I truly appreciate hearing this=) You see, I don't care much for hearing my own recorded voice and I think I sound so weird when I say certain words with sounds I find difficult to pronounce 😅 I speak german too, but I can say for certain that the germans would not be impressed 😂
As an experienced crocheter, but a very new knitter who has only had one knit project under my belt to date, I can't say enough about how amazing it has been to watch you do this. I really struggled with DPNs for finishing off my beanie after moving off of circular needles. You made it less intimidating.
I've watched your video many times. I ONLY speak English and yours is beautiful! In addition to that, the video is a great learning experience. Thank you.
These are beautiful mittens! Thank you so much for sharing them with us and I had no problems understanding your English. You spoke clearly and perfectly! Now I want to make mittens like these. I’m not scared of them anymore
Tonight I was listening to Knitting Podcasts and I saw yours ,decided to watch it and you are very good at giving instructions your English is very clear -I went and ordered selbu mitten knitting book the other day! I’m excited to get started with your help🤗
Thank you very much for this tutorial. I learned a lot from it, and your English was excellent! I understood every word. My next job is now to get started on my first pair.
Thank you so much for this video! I watched several videos about casting on in two colors but they were all the beginning cast on and were usually to start two color brioche. Yours was the first I found that showed how to cast on for the thumb!
Thanks a lot for this super easy to follow tutorial. So many things you explained that makes it so much easier to just start. Best Video on Selbu mittens I could find. THANK YOU !!!
This is a very clear, detailed, and enlightening tutorial. Thank you so much for sharing your techniques. Your English is just fine and very easy to understand. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this very helpful tutorial. I just couldn't figure out how to read and work all the lovely graphs for Selbu mittens, and now using this video I know I can make these mittens. I am going to use your pattern for my first pair, to build my confidence, then I will branch out to other designs. Do not worry about your English - I think because you spoke slowly and clearly I was able to grasp the technique better. Sometimes native English speakers talk so quickly that they are harder to follow and they use complicated terms that confuse. This compliment is coming from a native English speaker!
It's great to hear that the video is helpful and that you want to knit norwegian mittens! I really appreciate your comment on my english. It's a relief to hear that I'm not difficult to understand. Some Norwegians do the same and we have some pretty interesting dialects over here so I know what you mean. I try my very best to make things easy to understand and maybe my limited vocabulary is not such a bad thing after all =)
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO. A picture (better a video) is worth a thousand words.I have been trying to knit a beautiful pair of Selbu mittens (Marie Curie Mittens on Ravelry). This is my first Selbu mittens attempt. I have searched everywhere for a clear instruction and have frogged a half dozen attempts. But I am persistent if anything. I don't know if I would have continued if I hadn't happened upon your video.I was basically stuck on the thumb. You made it so clear. I am off to finish my mittens now, And your English is beautiful. 😍
I have yarn and first time pattern from Skeindeer on Ravelry. Your detailed technique is going to be so helpful and thank you for making the video! Your English is just fine! Nice close-up photography too.
Please tell me where to purchase this yarn!? Online perhaps? I am very much looking forward to starting them in the traditional white and black as you demonstrated-lovely! But in the US - this looks to be “fingerling” weight yarn, or perhaps sock yarn? Single strand. I would love to buy Norwegian yarn if possible. Can you advise? Looking forward to seeing all your other videos that I Just discovered exit! Happy knitting and thank you again.
Your English is lovely, and you slowed down in all of the right places to help people follow along with the knitting. Thank you very much for this tutorial! It's really helpful to see the mittens inside-out. I was always curious how the color changes were managed.
You have put a lot of time and effort into your patterns and videos, and all that is very much appreciated! I have visited your Ravelry site and have picked out another mitten pattern. And now I see a video you offer for a hat pattern I'll watch now. Your English is excellent and your explanations very thorough. Thank you from Santa Fe, New Mexico, U.S.A.
Your explanations and demonstrations are excellent. Near the end of the video, when you apologized for your English, I laughed aloud, because I had understood every word and every sentence with no effort at all on my part. I can say only one thing in Norwegian, but I say it sincerely: takk for alt.
Thank you so much for doing this video. I'm knitting my mother in law Selbu Mittens for Christmas and I was having trouble picking up the thumb stitches. It is so nice to see you do it. I also like your style of closing the top of the mitten. Merry Christmas from Vancouver, BC, Canada!
Thank you! I have been knitting Norwegian style, my great great grandparents moves to the U.S. a long time ago and the style has been taught to each generation (minus my mom). I have been trying to get better at doing the more complicated patterns, but video tutorials are really hard to find with this style so this has been super helpful! Thank you very much!
Tack så mycket för ett bra klipp! Nu har jag äntligen förstått hur man får toppen på en selbuvante att se bra ut. Som jag har letat och undrat hur man gör!
Your instructions are very good! Thank you for your clear instructions to make these beautiful mittens. This is my first mitten project and it's going very well so far.
Wow!! This video is so well done and your explanations, demonstrations, etc. helped me have the confidence to do it myself. I just began knitting last month and you really have a way of teaching that makes it approachable for a beginner. Thank you for your time and for sharing your expertise.
Thank you so much for your nice comment! This is great for me to hear and I'm so happy that the video is thorough enough for a beginner(which was my aim when I made it) =)
What a wonderful video! Thank you so much! Your English sounds like a native speaker and your knitting skills are fantastic! I am also very excited to try your cast on method, which is new to me! Beautiful mittens!
Thank you so much for this great tutorial! My grandmother used to knit these for me and my brothers so I dreamt of being able to knit these as well. Greetings from Germany!
Thank you for this detailed explanation! I lived in Norway ten years ago and hearing your accent brings such nice memories. Also your English is perfect! I remember my Norsk friends would always be embarrassed to speak in English too (until they had a few drinks!) so I smiled when you mentioned it. Tusen takk!
You are very welcome! Thank you, releaved to hear it =) I think your observations are, well...spot on. I try not to drink and knit so every now and then I feel the need to apologise for the norweglish ;)
Thank you 🙏🏻 I was able to make my first pair of mittens to give to my daughter ☀️❤️ Your English is really good and your instructions are extremely helpful. Your video is perfect! I used both your blog and this video to complete the mittens. You are amazing 💫 Thank you 🙏🏻 so much 🌺
I just wanted to say thank you for teaching me to knit these mittens! Im in love with your patterns and you are the best knitting teacher out on youtube. This was the first time i tried 2 colour knitting on 4 knitting needles and you showed everything clearly. The mittens came out beautifully! I made these mittens for my father and he loves them. I thank You with all my heart. I hope i dont disrespect norwegian culture when i knit these patterns tho. (btw your english was perfect!)
Hi! Thank you for your heartwarming comment. I am really happy to hear that the video enabled you to knit the mittens with good result😀 My intention when i made the video was to show not only norwegians, but anyone who wants to knit this style of mittens how it is done. Dont worry, I see it more as honouring Norwegian culture 😊
this video was very helpful! I haven't made any mittens yet though i've bought the yarn and the pattern because I was a little bit apprehensive. Your video has given me the bravery to start!
Thank you very much for your video on how to knit Selbu mittens!! I think it will be tremendously helpful in helping me to start knitting them. I know that I will refer to your video often. Your English is excellent. No need to apologize. I feel like I should be the one to apologize as my Swedish/Norwegian is terrible. Thank you so much!
You did a wonderful job of explaining. I think I can make the mittens just following your directions. I'll have to work out the design but thank you very much.
Thank you! I have linked to a chart with the design and stitch number I have used in the video description. Feel free to use that if you want to make your own pattern =)
I made my first pair of colour work mittens thank you so much You make it look easier then it is but following your videos an patterns helped me so much thank you
Really great tutorial! I'm knitting for the first time since elementary school (over 12 years ago) and it's going really well with your video. Tusen takk! :D
Hi! Thank you for your nice comment! It makes me so happy to hear that you like the video. The way I knit is the work of really nice and patient grandmothers =)
Thank you, it went very well and meanwhile I made some cute baby mittens in Selbu pattern too. So cute. Thank you very much again for sharing your knowledge with us. 🥰
Your tutorial is fantastic! I just started doing colorwork about a month ago and I love it. I was wanting to make Selbu mittens but was afraid that a pattern purchase would be a waste of money - I wasn't sure of how to do the thumbs especially. With your written instructions, videos step by step and charts I'm confident I'll be successful! I will be looking to shop in your ravelry store after the value you gave me for FREE! I always try to support the artists who share their time and talents - so thank you very much.
Hi! Thank you so much for your lovely comment and for your support. It made me truly happy to read that the video was helpful and that my work is appreciated. I wish you the best of luck with your colourwork knitting. Thank you again =)
@@bergofnorway I'm started on the Nordavind hat - only on the lining part - I'm used to knitting with worsted weight yarn so it's a bit challenging but I can't wait to get to the colorwork. Thanks again
Thanks so much for your very instructive video! I am just now trying the selbu mittens even though I bought the yarn and pattern in Oslo 2 years ago. I have been a little afraid to try but now I am just starting 5he thumb increases! I hope to have a finished mitten son! 🤗
Thank you so much for this beautifully done tutorial! I learned several new ways to improve my Selbu mitten knitting. Patterns are always a little vague about picking up for the thumb, it was so helpful to see your method. And, your mittens are gorgeous!
I'm a first time knitter (previous crocheter) and because of your very clear pattern and video I was able to successfully complete a whole mitten as my first ever project! Thank you for filming and posting this :)
how long did it take you?
You are very welcome! So happy to hear that the video is helpful =)

Thank you so much for doing this video. I'm knitting my mother in law Selbu Mittens for Christmas and I was having trouble picking up the thumb stitches. It is so nice to see you do it. I also like your style of closing the top of the mitten. Merry Christmas from Vancouver, BC, Canada!
Thank you so much. Merry Christmas!
tusen takk! i made the mittens in this video thanks to your great tutorial
You are very welcome! So happy that the video was helpful =)
Thank you! I have been knitting Norwegian style, my great great grandparents moves to the U.S. a long time ago and the style has been taught to each generation (minus my mom). I have been trying to get better at doing the more complicated patterns, but video tutorials are really hard to find with this style so this has been super helpful! Thank you very much!
You are very welcome! Happy to hear that the video was helpful😊

You did a great job in your presentation and in your spoken English. I very much enjoyed your video and look forward to trying this myself!
How great to hear! Thank you =)
Tack så mycket för ett bra klipp! Nu har jag äntligen förstått hur man får toppen på en selbuvante att se bra ut. Som jag har letat och undrat hur man gör!
Så bra at du hadde nytte av videoen. Ja det er virkelig enklere å se det enn å lese om det iallefall =)
Thank you so much for doing this in English! I've been needing help with the thumbs! Now I can finish my mittens.😘❤️
So glad I could help =) Happy knitting =)
Your instructions are very good! Thank you for your clear instructions to make these beautiful mittens. This is my first mitten project and it's going very well so far.
You are very welcome! I am so happy to hear that you like the video! Thank you😊
Wow!! This video is so well done and your explanations, demonstrations, etc. helped me have the confidence to do it myself. I just began knitting last month and you really have a way of teaching that makes it approachable for a beginner. Thank you for your time and for sharing your expertise.
Thank you so much for your nice comment! This is great for me to hear and I'm so happy that the video is thorough enough for a beginner(which was my aim when I made it) =)
I love your tutorials! You are an amazing knitter!

Thank you! I am so happy to read your nice comment! You are very welcome =)
Thank you so much for this video. I have made some mittens which were OK, but this is really going to help me level up my skills.
That is great to hear! Happy that the video is helpful to you =)
I always had problem understanding how to knit these mittens. Thank you so much for the video.
You are very welcome! Glad I could help =)
Thank you so much for this great tutorial! My grandmother used to knit these for me and my brothers so I dreamt of being able to knit these as well. Greetings from Germany!
You are very welcome! It is so great to hear that the video is helpful!
Thank you for this detailed explanation! I lived in Norway ten years ago and hearing your accent brings such nice memories. Also your English is perfect! I remember my Norsk friends would always be embarrassed to speak in English too (until they had a few drinks!) so I smiled when you mentioned it.
Tusen takk!
You are very welcome! Thank you, releaved to hear it =) I think your observations are, well...spot on. I try not to drink and knit so every now and then I feel the need to apologise for the norweglish ;)
Thank you 🙏🏻 I was able to make my first pair of mittens to give to my daughter ☀️❤️ Your English is really good and your instructions are extremely helpful. Your video is perfect! I used both your blog and this video to complete the mittens. You are amazing 💫 Thank you 🙏🏻 so much 🌺
Wow, thank you! My pleasure! How great to hear that the video was helpful =)
I just wanted to say thank you for teaching me to knit these mittens! Im in love with your patterns and you are the best knitting teacher out on youtube.
This was the first time i tried 2 colour knitting on 4 knitting needles and you showed everything clearly. The mittens came out beautifully! I made these mittens for my father and he loves them. I thank You with all my heart. I hope i dont disrespect norwegian culture when i knit these patterns tho. (btw your english was perfect!)
Hi! Thank you for your heartwarming comment. I am really happy to hear that the video enabled you to knit the mittens with good result😀 My intention when i made the video was to show not only norwegians, but anyone who wants to knit this style of mittens how it is done. Dont worry, I see it more as honouring Norwegian culture 😊
What a wonderful video! Tusen takk!
I love listening to your dialect. I learned some great tips.
Thank you so much! I'm so happy you like it, I was almost embarrased when I posted the first video and was afraid people wouldn't understand me 😊
this video was very helpful! I haven't made any mittens yet though i've bought the yarn and the pattern because I was a little bit apprehensive. Your video has given me the bravery to start!
That's great to hear! Happy mitten knitting =)
Thank you very much for your video on how to knit Selbu mittens!! I think it will be tremendously helpful in helping me to start knitting them. I know that I will refer to your video often. Your English is excellent. No need to apologize. I feel like I should be the one to apologize as my Swedish/Norwegian is terrible. Thank you so much!
You are very welcome and thank you for the nice comment. I really appreciate it =)
Thank you soooo much for taking the time to do this video. I’ve been wanting to do this for so long and you’ve demystified the method,
My pleasure =) That makes me truly happy to hear!
OMG !!!
never seen 2 colors wrapped on a finger at the same time before
this is a great idea that I will try to use :))
Go for it! It's very effective when you get used to it :)
@@bergofnorway need to practice maybe 100 times :))
@@bergofnorway how do you keep it from getting twisted if you have a pattern that requires catching the floats?
@@kathosim501 Have a video on that. Think it is called how to about long yarn floats. Let me know if you dont find it😊
I love the way you cast on. Thank you for sharing.
You are very welcome and thank you for your nice comment =)
You did a wonderful job of explaining. I think I can make the mittens just following your directions. I'll have to work out the design but thank you very much.
Thank you! I have linked to a chart with the design and stitch number I have used in the video description. Feel free to use that if you want to make your own pattern =)
Thank you so much. Your experience and tips were helpful and confidence building!
You are very welcome! So happy to hear that the video is helpful =)

Great job, thanks hips. It was my thought to learn Norwegian mittens 👍not easy 🤔. Will try...
You are very welcome! Hope you try =)
I made my first pair of colour work mittens thank you so much
You make it look easier then it is but following your videos an patterns helped me so much thank you
Congratulations!!! I struggled a bit the first time myself. A couple more mittens and you think it's easy =)
Really great tutorial! I'm knitting for the first time since elementary school (over 12 years ago) and it's going really well with your video. Tusen takk! :D
Thank you! So happy that the video is helpful to you =)
Just found you today and like everyone else here. Thank you for this video. I really like the way you knit too.
Hi! Thank you for your nice comment! It makes me so happy to hear that you like the video. The way I knit is the work of really nice and patient grandmothers =)
Wow 😍 Thank you for sharing this!
You are very welcome =)
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I learned so much!
I am so happy to hear that the video was helpful =)
Thank you so much!! I found a book called Selbu Mittens, it has so much information - It's a little overwhelming, so thank you for showing the basics
That is a wonderful book! You are very welcome =)
Thank you, it went very well and meanwhile I made some cute baby mittens in Selbu pattern too. So cute. Thank you very much again for sharing your knowledge with us. 🥰
You are very welcome! I am so happy to hear it =)
Thank you very much, your English is excellent!
My pleasure! Thank you so much!
Your tutorial is fantastic! I just started doing colorwork about a month ago and I love it. I was wanting to make Selbu mittens but was afraid that a pattern purchase would be a waste of money - I wasn't sure of how to do the thumbs especially. With your written instructions, videos step by step and charts I'm confident I'll be successful! I will be looking to shop in your ravelry store after the value you gave me for FREE! I always try to support the artists who share their time and talents - so thank you very much.
Hi! Thank you so much for your lovely comment and for your support. It made me truly happy to read that the video was helpful and that my work is appreciated. I wish you the best of luck with your colourwork knitting. Thank you again =)
@@bergofnorway I'm started on the Nordavind hat - only on the lining part - I'm used to knitting with worsted weight yarn so it's a bit challenging but I can't wait to get to the colorwork. Thanks again
@@bbrown8353 Enjoy the colourwork and the hat =)
Thank youuuuuu you help me so much Now I begin a children pair of mittens
You are welcome! It's great to hear that the video is helpful =)
Thanks so much for your very instructive video! I am just now trying the selbu mittens even though I bought the yarn and pattern in Oslo 2 years ago. I have been a little afraid to try but now I am just starting 5he thumb increases! I hope to have a finished mitten son! 🤗
You are very welcome! How great to hear that the video is useful =)
This was amazing!!!! Thank you, I've been searching for a tutorial. I appreciate your time and effort in this production.
Thank you and you're welcome 😃 So happy you like it So happy you like it!
WOW!!! I very much enjoyed this tutorial. I am very excited to learn this technique. Watching from America 💗💗
I'm so happy to hear that you liked it =) Happy New Year from Norway!
Thank you so much for this beautifully done tutorial! I learned several new ways to improve my Selbu mitten knitting. Patterns are always a little vague about picking up for the thumb, it was so helpful to see your method. And, your mittens are gorgeous!
You are very welcome! I'm happy to hear that the video was helpful to you =)
