- We went to visit Kate at @thelasthomelyhouse after walking the Hadrian wall this spring. It was a lot of fun to visit a fellow UA-camr and share experiences. It was also super interesting to have an up close look at her beautifully organized workspace.
We talk of course a lot about both knitting and hexagons, and Kate shows us how to make hexagons using her machine. At the end of the episode we have fun knitting demonstration while we talk about future plans for more content.

Love the visit to the Last Homely House with Kate! Seems like it was enjoyable for all!
What a treat seeing the 3 of you together.
Kate, thank you, thank you thank you for having Arne and Carlos show you the purl stitch!!! I’ve been trying to figure it out for years and my brain just couldn’t grasp it! And now I get it!! I think it’s brilliant..
It was also really cool to see the three favourite people together…very good day!
😀 👍🏻❤️
When I was learning to knit a couple of years ago, I struggled so hard with purling. I nearly gave up until I found your UA-cam videos. Your videos on tension and purling was a complete game changer for me. The Norwegian purl was the most natural thing in the world to me. I would not be a knitter today had I not found you guys! Thank you so much for your videos!
I was taught to English knit as a very young girl, my grandmother was a knitter. I have not changed my style of knitting but am interested in the Norwegian and Continental styles. You guys are great teachers. Thank you for sharing with us. ❤❤
Me 2 iam a addiction to those 2 or now 3😊❤
Brilliant episode, really fun to see you and Kate showing each other his/her thing. Well done to all. Xx
Loved the ending edits. This video will be an all time favorite for sure, my two favorite channels together!
Oh thank you both for a wonderful video. You all did so well and Kate's was so impressed with you both.
Thank you!
I've always done the purl stitch this way. Eventhough I'm Canadian, I started out Danish and this is the way my mother taught me. I can imagine doing all that wrapping around way of doing it. 😃
Great video! What a bright and happy workspace Kate has. You can tell you both felt very much at home with her.
Beautiful episode! Thank you all very much for making and sharing this video! Very enjoyable!😊❤
I love this! Imagine all of you together ❤️ 2 Norwegian princes teaching Kate the cha cha cha purl stitch😂😂 What a funny event🎉
Thank you for this wonderful video. Plus we had another lesson on the purl stitch.😅 The three of you together was awesome to behold. Kate we need to learn from you on how to keep a craft space so beautifully tidy. And also a quick glimpse of your garden is always a treat. Take care and stay blessed.❤
I am so glad Carlos said which ever way you knit is fine.
This was great I love Kate thank you Arne and Carlos really enjoyed it❤
Such a great conversation about differing knitting techniques. I could listen to the Arne, Carlos, and Kate all day. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the scones video as well.
That was a delightful episode. Kate is just lovely.
Three of my favorite people. What a hoot but oh so talented all of you, thank you.
Haven't laughed so much for a long time! You are so good together! Thank you so much for sharing. 'I have two Norwegians telling me what to do!' Brilliant! ❤👍from Somerset, UK
🫶🏻
Thank you so much for another update on pearling the Norwegian way… It was nice to see Kate give it a go as well and finally got me over the edge! I can do it now completely and comfortably 😅 🥳🥳🥳🥳
What a team! Could watch you all for hours!!
Ooohhh, pink and green-one of my favorite Lily Pulitzer color combos!
what fun!!! I loved spending time watching the magic happen. So glad you were not attacked by Eileen the Terrible 😄
My three favorite UA-camrs 💐💐💐
Great video! Thanks for sharing, Kate's space is fabulous
I learned to Norwegian knit in my early 50’s now in my late 60’s and suffering with arthritis I am so pleased I did. If I were still English knitting I would have had to give it up.thank you Norway❤️ I also knit in the round😂 I’m with Kate, I like knitting top down, the stitches are smiling at the wearer😻
"It's stressfull, I've got two Norwegians telling me what to do." So funny, Kate!
I really enjoyed watching this episode. I have to give you a laugh. I learned to knit from my mom as a preteen. I let that pass as I got married, went to college, got a job. I tried to pick it up again during Covid shut down. I can cast on, but when I went to purl I guessed how to do it. I ended up taking all the stitches off instead. So I wasn't getting that right. Mom has dementia so I didn't try to ask her. Now I have seen Kate do her way (which looked like how Mom did) and the Norwegian way. Thank you so much. ❤🤗
I purl like Kate 😂! Arne, I have a 2003 VW Beetle Turbo, she’s 21 yrs old. 5 speed, Sunflower Yellow. I bought her brand-new , now has 93k miles on her. Her name is Lola and I love her to the moon and back. Btw, I also knit some so I first found you two through knitting. I always enjoy watching you, love your work, your yarns. Love Kate so a great, fun trio to watch you three!
Love the banter and the three lovely grey white heads of beautiful hair! So much knowledge in one place! Don’t know how to knit but love watching you three! Beautiful work.
Oh wow! I am SO envious of how organised Kate’s sewing room is! If I ever have a spare room to make into a project room, I am coming back to this video for inspiration 😊 It was lovely to see how you three bounce off each other. Takk for a great video. Be well, Sally 🌹
Great video! You two and Kate are all very kind and gracious! Would have been fun to sit on the couch just listening!
We were, lol!!
You two are amazing. I really love to see you both cook. Think you should always cook together. I love being happy seeing you cook. PS I think Arne is correct. If you frost the cake when it is too warm , it will melt. Keep cooking
👍🏻☺️
So lovely to watch you darlings together. I am Norwegian and I always put the yarn in from for the purl stitches and then to the back for the knit stitches. So much easier? I honestly thought everyone did it like that 😅 very interesting to see other ways. Think I must have learned that from my mum, who was also an arts and crafts teacher, when I was five or so. I guess the most important is to do it a way we enjoy! ❤️
I ate chips under the covers and Arne knitted sweaters. What a beautiful story.
Watching you try to teach Kate how to purl reminds me of trying to teach my left handed friend how to knit impossible as a right handed knitter !!! 🧶🧶🧶
This is knitting porn for us.
I watched and rewound on UA-cam until I learned it and when it became automatic, I was absolutely arrogant inside my own little heart.
Thank you Arne and Carlos.
You made me a better knitter and introduced me to Kate and I'm forever grateful.
Bless you, bless you.
❤️👍🏻🫶🏻
Great episode!
On the pearl-stitch class, I knit like Kate. The Norwegian Purl clicked for me by thinking of it, like a crochet stitch.
The Norwegian Knit stitch is also like the first part of a single-crochet stretch, without the hook.
As for the tendinitis in my hands, I’ve found that rubbing pure-Caster Oil in my hands at night along with taking turmeric and bromelain daily has been super, super helpful.
Oh, I loved how both of you and Kate were instantly fast friends! It was fun to see how to make the hexagons. It reminded me of a thing we used when I was a teacher to punch out letters. I have to admit I would struggle as much as Kate with that purl stitch!
It was a great match!
Through the magic of UA-cam, you taught me Norwegian knitting and purling a few years back and I’ve been knitting that way ever since! What a lovely visit you had. BTW, love my Big Shot, too, for card making.
❤️
Happy Sunday! Truly a delightful episode. Thank you for sharing all of your fun adventures. ❤😘
So fun to see you 3 together! Shenanigans abound!!!I always enjoy spending some time with you, thank you for creating this fun content!!
Thank you so much for watching!
Love, love, love you all!
I loved this episode!! I found the two of you through Kate’s UA-cam so to see you all together was so much fun! 🤩
Welcome!
How fun is this? Kate is knitting English (throwing) and ARne and Karlos knit continental- which is the way my Russian grandma taught me. I could never understand the throwing the yarn using the right hand. Too confusing for me. So much fun!
Such an interesting video is so much going on I can hardly keep up. I can cut fabric on my Gemini machine you can get hexagon shapes. You might even be able to get them for your sizzix. I've been making quilts since I was 19 years old . Have given so many away and now I am not able to do it as my brain just can't figure things out anymore. I have a number of medical conditions that affect my brain's ability to work efficiently. Love to see what you guys are making
This was such a fun video. I have followed Kate for many years. I truly loved this video. What fun you all had!! Thanks so much for sharing…………………….
Love this! I so enjoyed seeing 2 of my favorite knit-bloggers together and having jolly times! I learned The Norwegian Knitting Way from Arne, also. Once the purl is mastered, it's golden. It helps if one is a Continental knitter to start out with, but when I do colorwork, I have to use my right hand like Kate does. Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful video!!!
You can use the children book covers to make journals.
I taught myself to knit from a children's book checked out from the public library when I was 11 years old. I didn't learn either of the two methods discussed. I pick but I use my left index finger to move my yarn back and forth.
I'm with Kate, guys, over the "complicated" purl knitting! I've always used the good old wrap around the fingers of the right hand method and found it faster than any other. But then I'm someone who crochets the same way because it's SO speedy, using the index finger to flick the wool over the hook. Comes out exactly the same and I do enjoy it, probably also because it doesn't take ages. As you can probably tell, a fairly impatient crafter here who also uses iron on interfacing cut into hexagons instead of paper piecing because I can't be fagged to take out all those papers - also holds up better when washing the quilt, I find. But I digress! SO glad you visited Kate, three enthusiasts together, absolutely loved it ♥♥♥
Thank you!
Totally enjoyable!!!!
Lots of fun guys😊
You can get different sized hexagon cutter so you can cut your fabric too !!! X
Guess what we have been shopping😀
You three are delightful to watch and listen to. I wish my father's Norwegian family taught me to knit. My mother who was English and Irish was a fabulous knitter, loved to knit from the top down like Kate. She could whip out beautiful baby sweaters so fast.
What a fun video! I learned the Norwegian purl from Carlos, I call it the do see do 😀
I like bottom up sweaters because I like the structure of the seams. (Again, we're all different!)
I watched one of your videos a while ago as I wanted to speed up my knitting. I took onboard your Norwegian style and yes, it does take a little practise (I have been knitting since I was 4), but I find that it feels a bit awkward to knit the "English" way now.
My knitting has been transformed by learning to knit like you. I can finish projects faster and don't feel frustrated because I'm taking too long. Thank you so very much!
You are welcome!
Dear me!🥴 This does look confusing. I'm from Germany and I do the purl stitch differently and it seems the easiest method I have seen so far.😊 Still enjoying your video. Thank you guys, very entertaining and heartwarming.❤
What a wonderful video!!!! Arne and Carlos with Kate
Fascinating! Learnt so many tips about knitting. I think I might have to learn Norwegian knitting now! 😊
Have a go!
I really enjoy seeing some of my favorite people enjoying each others company :)
Impressive! Kate of The Last Homely House is very organized. The pink and green containers add a nice visual.
Lynn here on Hubby's phone mines playing up 😏, Hi , hope your both well 🤞, I'm a regular viewer of Kate , I live in Yorkshire England , I watch you two as well , however it was so nice to see you all together 😊, tell me are there any plans for Kate to come over and visit you two at your lovely home ? That would be one hell of an episode, do you think that might happen ? Anyway Take Care you lovely people see you in your next episode xx🤗
What a treat to see you and Kate together! You can see how much you enjoy each other's company! Thank you for this!
I learned to knit backwards for the purl row and that is fast and no changes to hand position is needed.
Such a fun episode! Kate and I are sisters with our right hand purling!
I don’t agree with keeping quilting fabrics the same weight…my first quilt was a “crazy patch” with velvets& silks together. It’s divine!!! I loved watching you guys together in person.
Thank you!!
Or you could put the yarn in front of the left needle. Then you only have to wrap it around the right needle once.
Or not at all. But then the Stich sits on the needle the other way around. 😊🌸
The book is a Noddy and Big Ears.
I grew up on Noddy and Rupert annuals. So much fun visiting with Kate.
What a delightful video it's fun to see you all together. I'm totally with Kate 100% on making that pearl stitch it was so fluid and so beautiful to watch and the other way that it was done with arna and Carlos just made my brain fall on the floor why go through all of that just to get a pearl stitch I mean really.....😅. It's such a joy to watch you guys on your channels and Kate that current quilt you're making just absolutely makes my eyes bug out of my head it is so stunning with those little pieces and then the way you put them together just like you do the curtains on your window and your your other little cushions and things you have such a magnificent grasp of color and design and flow... And Anna I love yours I do love it I'm proud of you I knew you could you could do it in you sit and think things through and laying down by your quilt to measure it was absolutely genius hahaha. Thanks to all of you
❤️
Lovely video. The three musketeers of arts and crafts. 😂 I absolutely loved it when you first started talking about each other and now we all spend time on the lime green sofa. Thank you for being you ❤
30 yrs an English style knitter but Since learning the Norwegian style last year, I go between the 2 styles. I found Carlos’ teaching technique a bit easier.
❤️
Hi everyone!!!!😘💕
That was a fun episode. Nice to see more footage from the visit.
Hi guys. Great show.
Very enjoyable 😊
Great episode again boys and Kate. Unfortunately I don’t watch Kate’s videos because I only get time to follow a handful of people due to busy life and having my own channel, however if I get more time in the future, I will definitely check her out videos.
You should as they are good quality
@@ARNECARLOS Thank you for the recommendation.
Great, thank you Arne and Carlos for teaching Kate and all of us again. And yes tendinitis is a pain I too have it at this time. Arne is Speegy when it comes to knitting. 😅🎉🎉🎉
❤️❤️
I loved the lessons on knitting that you taught Kate! I must have watched your videos 50 or so times trying to master norwejian knitting. I'm begining to master it and love it most when doing ribs the fact that I don't have to move the yarn is the best - I used to hate ribs!.
What a wonderful trio. Though I have proudly mastered the Norwegian purl, I understand how difficult changing technique can be, especially for long time knitters. I enjoy watching people knit, and just recently met someone who has been knitting for 80 years. Her speed was incredible,.
Great Video Guys!! So glad you enjoyed your visit to The Last Homely House! I'm still not knitting your way sadly - can't teach an old dog new tricks I guess! Take care, Kate xxx
🫶🏻
Please do a video of your visit to Liberty!! 💜💜
Fabulous - think I will still stick to my English knitting way though - and I keep the right hand needle under my arm ( when knitting on straight needles ).🤭
I love that she uses a Sizzix!
❤Look at you two with your Hadrian suntans!
I was taught to knit Continental/German, which I love. I worked on a simple garter stitch scarf to master the Norwegian knit - I love it, Takk! Planning to master the purl, but my German purl works well for me for now. 🧶
Carlos, I can only image how beautiful your quilt will be! ❤
Wonderful episode! Really fun, and I will try your purling method. With you could do more episodes together.❤
Absolutely fantastic video, what fun you had. You make a great trio. More ACK please 🙏🏼 ❤
How wonderful to see you all together! I didn’t see the link for the “Sissix” machine. In the US we have the Big Shot but no dies that are two hexagons together. Have you had any luck please? 😊
I did finally work it out from Arne's video and confirmed that I was doing it right with Carlos's. The Norwegian purl is tricky, but the knit is lightning fast.
Here in Brazil most people knit the Portuguese way: the yarn goes around the neck or hangs from a special pin in the chest area and the left thumb makes all the work. Portuguese purl stitch is a lot easier than knit stitch. Portuguese knitters make socks and do complex stitches and colorwork all from the purl side. When you turn the sock out, the right side is perfect.
If you want a Liberty lawn fabric quilt, a silk batting (used often in quilt wearables) would drape beautifully and feel phenomenal.
Delightful! My favorite three people.
I totally agree with Kate re: the purl stitch. The Norwegian cha cha cha is just one cha when done Kate's way. In the space of a row, the extra movement gets to be quite a lot. I do believe everyone needs to do it the way that works for them, and I know many people struggle with the standard purl. I happen to find the standard easy and quite a bit faster. It only bothers me when people insist how much better Norwegian purl is. It's only better if you're not comfortable with the standard version IMO.
We should all do what suits us the best
So much fun to watch and enjoy!! Now I know why many complain about doing a purl stitch, purling with so many steps seems very odd. I knit and purl like Kate, it’s the way my mom taught me. Did Kate mention she doesn’t want to teach Agnes the way she, Kate, knits? What a shame! Kate knits like her mother did, who probably was taught by her mother, etc. She should have Agnes carry on the family knit tradition.
Loved this video so much. I watched you on Kate's UA-cam channel. You guys are wonderful and your comraferie with Kate is si much fun. ❤😊
This is fantastic. I learned to do the Norwegian way from Arne. It’s so much more relaxing for me.
That was great fun. So glad to see you both and Late too!
Aargh, I wish I had known you were in the area..I live in a village called Allendale, 10 miles from Hexham. I have followed you for a few years and have quite a few of your patterns xx
Next time!
