I was a thrower, but I am changing to Norwegian style and I love it, so much better, I am 66 so never too old to learn new things! I changed because of you!❤️
Never too old!
Me too, and I’m 63.
I never knew different countries knitted differently. Your way fascinates me. It looks much easier. I also didn't know about slipping the first stitch! Light bulb moment
💡
Great tips. I have been practicing knitting the Norwegian way.
My dog Emme is looking for your dog who is barking through my speakers😊🐶. Another good tutorial from both of you. Thanks!
😂
Watching you purl makes my brain hurt! I’ll never get that in a million years!!!!! Ha! Ha! Xxx
😂
You guys are FUN!
Thank you!
Thank you!! It did make sense and seeing it helped even more!
We are so glad to hear that!
Arne, the lady who did the purl stitches with the yarn in front and the stitches came out twisted? She was purling by bringing the yarn up from the bottom instead of the top down. I am right-handed and learned to knot from a left-handed person. I pulled this way for several years until somebody corrected me. From the front, it made a pretty pattern even if it wasn't correct!
Thank you!
I feel like it is never a complete episode until somebody barks. :)
😂
Good one, Ellen!
The most complicated pattern I ever knitted was 'Geno' from Rowan Magazine 43. The direction of the slip stitch was crucial as it formed the lace pattern. I know just what Arne means when he talks about stitches not feeling right. I had a few slip stitches going the wrong way on my Geno cardigan but that was how I learned to get it right. Another great tutorial chaps, thank you!
You are welcome Claire!
thanks for this tutorial, I didn't know about slipping the 1st stitch to make neat edges! always great to see you, lifts my spirits 💞
You are welcome!
Thanks this is really helpful to have to refer to when doing your patterns 🙂
Thank you Kate!
Have you two considered sharing photos and info on your childhood homes? Carlos, like me, you moved a lot, so no one place is really ‘home.’ Some photos of you as a child, adolescent and young adult with your family, and photos of your different homes would be fun. Would your family share stories? I believe you shared a photograph of an adorable niece from Texas in a much-earlier video. Arne, would your family be amenable to being interviewed in your childhood home? Your Norwegian farmhouse sounds so beautiful, nostalgic, fairytale and story book. Apologies if this is intrusive, but I so love the stories of both your childhoods. Very truly, Maureen
Hi Maureen, thank you for these suggestions, we will consider them😃
Thank you for teaching me that stitch I love to knit thank you for being there both of you take care
Thank you for watching Esther!
Thank you for this video Arne and Carlos. Great clarity on slipped stitches and now I know I can also have good looking edges on my knitted blocks too. Enjoy your visitors.
Thank you for coming over!
Love to you all thank you for explaining how you do the slip stitch I'm still trying to learn how to do your version if the purl stitch . I find myself saying to myself do the cha cha cha
Keep up the good work!
So good to see and hear you all! It’s always fascinating to see different techniques- thank you!
You are welcome!
Thank you!!! Just went over and ordered your new fancy t-shirt! I musth ave it for vacation;-)
Thank you for supporting us Maureen!
Hi Arne and Carlos was great seeing Helmer and hearing Freya. Hope you have a good week
You as well Ginger!
Carlos had his "patient face" on during the barking. Lol! I always love the "Moose-moose!" And yes, I exclusively purl like a proper Norwegian, thanks to Arne and Carlos.
🤗
Since I started following Arne's instructions for slipping at the beginning of the row, and not blocking the ends, I am much happier with how my knitting looks. It works so well. And it does just feel more natural.
That is great to hear!
Arne taught me the Norwegian purl. Arne is the best teacher.
Thank you!
Great tips. I slip like this however didn't think of the twisting of stitches that happen if not doing it properly. Explaining why is very helpful. Love you two..was extra busy today but knew when I could sit down and watch your Sunday podcast.
Thank you for joining Connie!
Somewhere around minute 8 Helmer got on the couch and started looking around out the window with great attention, which morphed into great tail-wagging enthusiasm. It was like looking at two videos at once. Fun!
Two for one today!
I never realized knitting was such a science. The twist really is important. If you do it the same way all the time
Though, would it matter??? I sure do learn a lot from you guys.
generally it wouldn't matter, but it depends on the pattern and the effect the designer is after
💖
If I knit I slip the stitch knit-wise and in purling it is slipped purl-wise. Which means in knitting the yarn is behind the needle and the needle is inserted in front from left to right (this does not twist the stitch, it is in the same direction as if I were knitting).
For slipping a stitch while purling, the yarn is in front and the needle is inserted from right to left.
💗
I've been knitting for about 70 years now and have always gone over (rather than under) the yarn held in front to draw it though a new purl stitch. That reverses the direction of my knit stitches, which works out fine as long as I knit my stitches through the back. No problem. I do have to switch my K2tog and SSK positions, and figure out adjustments to some patterns, but like Arne says -- I just do what feels (and looks) right with slipped stitches.
👍
Thank you my dear -knit-crochet-yarn friends ! 🤍💛🧡
You are welcome!
I am in the habit of allowing 2 selvedge on each side of my knitting.
RS- wyb slip 1 purlwise, knit 1
WS- knit 2, work to end, knit 2
This gives me a nice neat and stable selvedge. Then when I sew the seams together, I use a matching fingering weight yarn to prevent bulky seams. My finished work is much improved just by using these tricks.
If a pattern calls for slip stitches I usually slip purlwise wyb unless it calls for something wlse.
Also I wanted to mention, I recently purchased some Lanolin Soap from McKeon Soap Works that I found online for wet blocking. I LOVE it!
Great!
I hope you had good visitors
We did!
I was surprised to see at the end when you stood up, you were wearing pants. Good thing, since company dropped in suddenly!
😂
I have a question about your method - does your finger ever gets sore because it seems the finger is the surface against which you knit,I am a thrower but I have tried your way and my finger actually gets sore- tempted to tape it🥰
We hope you make one for your sister!
I want to chime in about slipping the edge stitch. I only do it if the edge is not going to be sewn into a seam - for example, I'll do it on the edge of a scarf or a blanket square. But not on the edge of a piece of a sweater. I find the seam is not as stable if I'm seaming slipped stitches together.
👍
Arne you make sense with your knitting tips as always. Good to hear the dogs as it makes your house a home. Have a wonderful week
You as well Janika!
Once again your beautiful furry babies stole the show😂😂
Always!
WOW 😮 👍🏼
🤗
Very interesting, I wish I could knit your way....it is faster....
Give it a try, it is easier thank you think!
So interesting, thank you, and the doggy drama added that little bit of unexpected excitement! Take care and keep sharing your joy 🧶🧵🌼
We will!
I'm a flicker which is a modified English way. It looks like the Norwegian way in reverse. If I have a lot of knit purl stitches I do Continental. And I do two handed color work. I have tried doing it Norwegian but my finger keeps rising up. My aunt taught me to slip the first stitch in each row and it leaves a smoother edge.
💖
I really don’t knit very well and have tried many times to knit using the continental method but to no avail. It looks so easy but my hands just don’t want to cooperate! Thanks for the entertainment! Always enjoy watching the two of you. ❤️
Not need to knit to watch❤️
Love helma and frea
😍
Such a "real" video with dogs barking!
😍
🤗
Thank you Carlene!
Not about slipping stitching, yesterday at a knitting guild meeting one of the members showed four of the Christmas balls she had made from your book and how easy and fun they were to make!
😍
Very helpful video! I’m sure I reference back to it SEVERAL times!!! Bless you both!!!
Thank you Jamie!
Short but sweet. Take care all of u!! MOOSE! MOOSE!! 🦌🦌👋👋👋👋
Moose, Moose!
My mum taught me to slip the first stitch as she said it created a neater edge. 🧶
Your mum was a wise woman!
Can you do a video on PSSO?
Thank you for the suggestion, we will look into that
I didn’t know that you could slip stitch anywhere in a row. But what does it look like on the next row and do you keep doing it in the piece that you’re knitting?
Thanks, take care and stay safe and hugs and love for all, please give cuddles to Freiya and Helmer!
It will depend on the pattern that you are knitting, on some you will knit it together with another stitch.
Queridos! I knit patterns that say slip wyif, or slip wyib. (With yarn in front; with yarn in back.) So I just do what it asks for. But I see what you are saying about knitwise and purlwise. I don't think it is clear though, ha ha! Wishes for a beautiful week. Big love from Chicago!
😂Have a great week Liza!
I think the internet mind readers must have been active this week. A few days ago I needed to move a piece onto a stitch holder and I literally asked my mother this exact question. We were in the same room, so there was no tech like smartphone or email involved in the question asking. That was Wed night and Thursday, what lies waiting for me on my youtube homepage...? I'm not sure if I should be frightened or amused. Maybe a little of both. Either way, thank you for another helpful video.
I'm a continental-style knitter, with index finger up. I really like the way Arne holds the yarn in his left hand with index finger close to the needles. As I get older, my left hand gets tired quicker. How about a Norwegian-knitting style tutorial>
I think many people have the question about when to slip knitwise and when purlwise. There is a rule of thumb that you slip purlwise if you are going to just slip and move on, but you slip knitwise if you are going to use that slipped stitch immediately, as in a ssk or a skpsso. I saw that Genevieve said the same thing in an earlier comment. I learned the mnemonic "knit now, purl later." So if you are going to do something else to that stitch NOW, you slip it knitwise. Else, the more common way, purlwise.
Thank you for your wonderful tutorials. I was taught the English way and I am very new to colour work, I have found it challenging to pick with one hand and throw with the other. I did find a you tube video Made in Winchester helpful for English knitters.
My dogs joined in the chorus, something they've never done before! I guess they enjoyed the video today also 😁 And btw, since I started to use Arne's Norwegian purl, my cables are much nicer! Thanks!!
You are welcome!
Let me see if I have this...at the beginning of knit rows I slip the first stitch knit-wise. And at the beginning of purl rows I bring the yarn up over the front of the needle to the back, and then slip it purl-wise? And I slip the first stitch of every row?
I’m totally confused with the slipping but loved the visit with the whole family ❤️
I was told that you slip a stitch knitwise if it was going to be worked in the current row (as in an ssk decrease, for example) but purlwise if it was going to be worked in the next row ( as you do when you beaten up an edge by slipping the first stitch.)
I was doing something right and my pups were joining in with the barking stay safe
😀
Thank you for showing this technique. I learn so much from you guys. Thank you...
You are welcome Sandi!
i‘m knitting ‚lazy‘ continental and so i‘m always confused by all the turning of the yarn
slipping a stich is only take it from one needle to the other without twisting
i try and try and try to hold my yarnfinger down to the needle but it rises all the time 😂
😂
It is critical to know this. My favorite EZ pattern is the Moccasin sock where you MUST slip purl wise for a purl stitch and knit wise for a knit stitch for when you'll be "knitting" up these stitches for the feet because if you twist them you will be most unhappy, you may even cry.
💖
I’m practicing Norwegian knit and purl now. It makes sense that a slipped stitch is always the same. Thanks for showing this. I’ve also found that if I angle my left hand up a bit, I avoid accidentally getting my yarn in front and having a YO. So far so good!
💖
Love your instruction!!! I’m beginner, so been helpful. Would you consider using a heavier yarn & needles. At my age & small cell phone screens 🤪 🤣. Hope it was good company that showed up!! Moose Moose. 💕💕💕🤗
Next time!
I have often wondered about slipping stitches. This video really clarified for me. I now know why my stitches are twisted. Thank you very much!!!
You are welcome Sheri!
As always, thanks! Bye.
Bye Diana!
Thanks for info, always trying to channel the Norwegian relatives and how they knit 🧶🇺🇸🇳🇴🇺🇸🇳🇴🇺🇸🇳🇴
Yay!
Thanks for the explanation - it makes perfect sense
Great!
I had to work hard to get something out of this time. I think to explain some people learn better by visual close ups and some by hearing verbal explains but when you are really proficient at something one takes for granted the minutia about the process. So instead of really articulating step by steps with visual AND verbal, one version often gets left out. To exaggerate, explaining without the camera closeup, or camera close up but vague verbal instructions may say, you see, like THIS ... or then you do like THIS ... and then you move THAT over here. So the words this and that to someone who doesn't access info without the knitting terms, like this or like that doesn't work because I missed what you actually did to be able to duplicate it. I saw it but don't understand what I am doing... e.g.: You take the yarn which now is purl wise, and then since this is the knit side you would still normally Slip as if to P, then go back to yarn in back and continue knitting. Just exaggerating the words to go along with the demo on the hands, which if not close up, slow motion would not help figure it out to understand the engineering of it. This is convoluted I know. Hope you can make some sense. 1. omit vague words like this and that and use precise knit instructions and 2. always have camera super close up if possible.
Love you both, love your work, breath of fresh air and sunshine to see you and your beautiful environs and family doggies. Blessings!
Thank you for your feedback Barbara
Love learning new techniques...made a big purchase...an umbrella swift...now I can make yarn cakes....or balls...life can be so much fun...deb
It sure can!
This is a very confusing thing to me because I'm a thrower. When we do a SSK we slip knitwise, but when we just slip a stitch we slip purlwise. I get so confused sometimes because I forget which way to do the SSK. I have always knitted or purled the first stitch on the needle. I was not taught to slip it. I'm always totally unhappy with my edges and when Arne showed how the first stitch got locked I realized why. My stitches must get locked like that because I can never see to pick up stitches when I need to and my seaming never works. Maybe you could talk more about this in a future episode so I can see this in more detail. Hugs to you both, "see" you soon!
Hi Kathy, thank you for your feedback, we will make a note of that!
I love your tutorials and have learned to knit your way from watching them- far quicker and kinder to the hands. But I’m afraid this isn’t the clearest explanation you’ve ever provided re slipping stitches.
Thank you for your feedback Claire!
It made a lot of sense Arne. You named it correctly while demonstrating, slip purl wise and knit wise. But watching your with your explanation made the most sense. When I'm using my normal method of throw knitting, I have to think which way to slip the first stitch. When I first started watching your channel, I'd never considered slipping the first stitch as a thing to do every time. Once I saw that you did it that way all the time, I realized how important that one little tip was. I seem to knit very loose with Norwegian style, however when it comes to color work, it's the only way to knit. What I practice is making the stitches from both hands the same tension. The Norwegian purl stitch is still very awkward for me but I'm determined to succeed.
Keep up the good work Beverly!
When I slip the first stitch, I always purlwise with yarn in front. But then I put the yarn in back to knit across the row ( if I’m knitting) this does make a nice clean edge. And this looks like Arne goes the same only in the Norwegian way. Just a difference in technique.
Yes!
Hi guys. I enjoyed your podcast. Sunday night giggles for me lol. Love watching the knitting. Take care xxx
Have a nice week Annie!
This helped me a lot. Thank you. I am trying to learn to knit holding the yarn the way you do.
You are welcome Sandy!
My knitting style is combination knitting. I hold my needle and I do the knit stitch the same as you do. I do the purl stitch different, so when I come back to do the knit stitch it is mounted Eastern, therefore I knit it through the back leg. I didn’t know there were so many different styles of knitting until a few years ago. I’ve been knitting for 20+ years and I am still learning different methods every day. Thanks for showing us your way😊.
You are very welcome Arlette!
I’m just curious. Are Helmer and Freya bilingual? Do you speak to them in Norwegian and English?
We think so!
I love how natural you both are. I’ve been skipping stitches without even thinking about it ever, it just seemed natural to me but you are right about the orientation of the slipped stitches. Love Freya and Helmer
Thank you so much Deborah
Norwegian knit stitch looks fun and I may try it but that Norwegian purl seems so complicated.
It is easier than it looks, here is a quick tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/rpqAdF1vepA/v-deo.html
Hi there.another great knit lesson. Thank you . Always happy for your video you make my day ….
Enjoy your day Giselle!
Another nugget of information... Thanks again, learning so much from your videos.
You are welcome Jen!
Thank you for showing us the slip stitch Norwegian way!
I have been knitting and purling
You are welcome!
I always slip purlwise at the beginning of a row. It leaves a nicer edge. The only time I don't is when it specifies something different in the pattern.
💖
I have a pattern that makes dragon scales. It does make a bit of a difference when I slip purl or knit wise because some of the stitches need the twist to pull the knitting into the shape of the little scales. Also some lace patterns use the twits to make the holes a specific shape. With the slip knit wise vs purl wise I think it depends on what is being accomplished in the piece.
💗
I've always found that slipping at the beginning of the row made the sides loose so I slip the last stitch which solve the problem. When I see a pattern that says slip one purl-wise I'm like "duh"!
😍
I think there are times that the instruction to slip purl wise or knit wise is for slipping a stitch in the middle of the knitting, not necessarily at the beginning. The reason for doing it one way or another is to have the stitch lie down flat, it is important in lace knitting.
💖
Thank you for that explanation. Now that I know the reasoning behind it, it’s easy to know which way to slip stitches. Sometimes it’s better to tell me why rather than tell me how. That way it seems to stick with me.
💖
Your style of knitting does seem simpler, but just not intuitive when not they way we learned to knit. 😉
😀
Think I got will try with knitting because maybe it’s just natural.
👍
Brilliant guys. Thank you. Hope you had a lovely time with your visitors . 👍
We did, thank you!
Always great ideas and hints thankyou ☕️😷🇦🇺👍🌍
You are welcome Lynda!
So fun seeing and hearing Helmer and Freya while you explain slipping stitches
🐩💗
Thank you for the update on knitting. Was good to see you Arne and Carlos.
Glad you made it Emily!
The Norwegian purl boggles my throwing mind.
💖
me too.. see my reply to Gladys Love.. Carlos' method is really awesome!
Maybe another day show same skill English knitting way?
Hi Sheila, thank your feedback.
I was taught how to knit using the throwing technique but taught myself how to knit following one of your earlier videos and it really made me fall back in love with knitting. Have now completed several pairs of socks and a jumper using my new knowledge 😃
Wondering if you or anyone else could help me please?
I've just come across a pattern that requires me to knit and also purl through the back loop. I know how to knit through the back loop and have followed a video of purling though the back loop for continental knitting but I'm wondering if there is a difference between the continental and Norwegian ptbl? as the yarn is held a bit differently.
Doing a hat knit 2 purl 2 for the band then i put in a graph of the moose around the hat i think i said that right lol
💖
Thanks guys, enjoyed the video, great tips. Jo xxx
Thank you for watching!
I know what happens with a twisted purl stitch, because I used to do it. It has to do with the wrapping. When you knit (continental), you wrap the yarn counterclockwise. When you purl, you have to continue the counter clockwise wrap so it doesn't twist, I was wrapping clockwise. I discovered this when I was working a sweater top down. The top part was knitted flat until you come to the area under the arms and then pick up the stitches and knit in the round. That's where it really shows. I'd been twisting my purl stitches for nearly 30 years! The sweater is still in 'time out' (year old UFO), but I've decided to leave it be and just keep going. It will be finished this summer :)
Good luck on finishing your sweater Cathy!
@@ARNECARLOS Thank you!!
