    This is one of the best hacks I have ever learned. My heels now look tight and neat. I now have 4 skeins of the Lofton line. They are gorgeous. I just love when Anne says "don't worry it will be fine", too many stitches?Just knit 2 together. You guys are the greatest.

    I can't wait to try to pick up my stitches this way. I usually put the needle through both parts of the stitch on the edge and use the working yarn to make the stitch. I'm glad I didn't skip over this video thinking that I knew it all already. I'm working on my 4th of the 8 from the Lofoten collection, Thank you guys

    Arne, thank you for showing us how you pick up the stitches. I've been picking up both legs and knitting the stitch them rather than picking up a row of stitches. Your way seems quicker.
    I've been darning up my holes and maybe your technique will help there, too.
    Finally your Norwegian knitting method is quicker than flicking so I'm going to try to move over to your way.
    Love you guys!

So I'll put the Christmas balls on hold for now (another little summer project) and get on with some more socks. Thank you for all your great knitting advice. xx

    Sock knitting is my new favorite thing because it’s quick and light, good (as you say) for summer knitting. I also loved your last-summer’s-video (when you were way up north) on how to repair a beloved sock.
    Thank you two! Now get back to resting up. You’ve had quite a year (longer than that, I realize).

  • @deniseboucher8606
    @deniseboucher8606 3 роки тому +1

    I’m from America so I knit the American way. I am trying to teach myself the Norwegian way because it seems to be faster. But I’m finding it hard to keep the yarn on my left index finger in tighter. The yarn gets so loose it falls off my finger. I’ll keep at it and hope I get better.
    Keep up the good work. Love ❤️ you guys.

    • @karinberryman2009

      Me too. I can’t grip it to control the tension except when I use it for two strands, and the Left hand for the least dominant color.

  • @beverlyness7954
    @beverlyness7954 3 роки тому +1

    Boy Arne, you have so many great tips! So simple yet so effective. These are the kinds of techniques I would never have known. Basically I'm a self taught knitter. No one in my family knows how to knit. At this point I'm hoping to share this skill with my grandkids (my own kids don't have an interest). I started knitting at about age 6 when a neighbor showed me the basic knit stitch. From there my Mom found a yarn shop who would teach beginners if you bought her yarn. She taught me to knit one pair of slippers. From then on it was me learning for myself. I was single Mom and had to focus my life on my kids and job so I didn't do much knitting until 5 years before I retired from that same job. I'm so glad to have found you both for my journey of rediscovering the joy of knitting. Thank you so much!

  • @nicolaking2704
    @nicolaking2704 2 роки тому

    Hello both - can I just say this is one of the best videos I've seen on sock issues. I think I've now cracked sock knitting, but I was worried about the loose gusset stitches on one side and the little gaps. Twisting stitches and lifting/knitting that pesky loose stitch on the back are the answers! Thanks so much for both of these great tips, I am now enjoying my sock knitting, at long last!

  • @cheryldeville9211
    @cheryldeville9211 3 роки тому

    I'm just about to start the heel on my Regia Lofoten in the Nusfjord colourway so I'll try your tip. Picking up the heel stitches and working the gusset of a sock is is my favourite part, but I've never used a needle to pick up all the stitches at once. You've always got such simple and useful tips, thank you. Love seeing you back again! 💙🧦🧦💙 you both look great 👍👍

    Covid is back up again here in NJ. Please be careful. Again, SO happy you are back.

    Perfect timing - I'll be casting on some socks later today with a skein of your Lofoten yarn! I have three colors to choose from in my stash and will save one skein for the Save Bear. I enjoy these tutorials and very much hope you continue Sit and Knit for a Bit even after we aren't all home so much. I really enjoy the podcast, especially the Norwegian culture and history and in fact, while I can't visit a Stave church in Norway (I live in Minnesota), I am going to visit a full size replica of the Gol Stave church in Bismarck, South Dakota and the Scandinavian Heritage Center as part of my summer vacation in a couple weeks - inspired by your road trip last summer.

    WOW! This is fantastic and may get me knitting socks again. I have to admit - I have always picked up and knitted one stitch at a time. I will have to practice Arne's technique of picking up all the stitches in that section, then knitting them off. And I finally understand why I always have a harder time twisting stitches on the "traveling up" side. Thank you!
