Join my Patreon / dankfiber for more knitting tutorials and knitting content! Learn to knit colorwork using my favorite tool, The Norwegian Knitting thimble!
This is hands down the best video explaining the use of this thimble. You are an excellent teacher, and your voice is relaxed and calm. Thank you for excellent audio and visual quality.
Very cool thimble, but I have yet to find one that fit my largeish hands/fingers, even the extra large. These gardening hands!!! and I'm 6'. So, I settled for the Clover one, that has up to four channels, snaps down, opens to fit my finger, and if I wind the yarn around once, for dk or worsted weights, it is a self-tensioner, when using one color. Works a treat keeping 3 years separate and untangled. Love your instructions! So clear and easy to understand.
My world of stranded colour knitting change dramatically thank to your video! Thank you! Now I will be even more fast! Best regards Anna - RUclips Knitting in Mauritius
Excellent series of videos. . I think this may be the solution to my stranded colorwork tension issues. I had a problem keeping my thimble from slipping down my finger. My thimble didn't have a narrower end. I found that wrapping one or two band-aids on my finger kept the thimble in place
Thank you so much for this video, I just started knitting with two colors, and I have a really hard time to figure out how to hold the yarn. This will definetely help!
I bought a secondhand knitting bag and one of those thimbles was in it. I had no clue what it was until I saw your post in reddit! I'm hoping to learn how to use it, but my fingers are TINY and the thimble is even loose on my thumb. I'm stuffing in some paper atm but I hope to find an alternative...
Kallebassificatie , I use one of those rubber fingertips found in office supply stores and then slip the thimble on that, because I have small hands too.
Fabulous instruction. Two questions regarding purchasing a thimble for two-strand color work. What brand as there are so many to choose from? How does one choose the size? Thanks for any information you can provide.
I know of a few knitters (VeryPink, Sockmatician) that are English knitters. In colorwork, they both like using TWO fingers in colorwork, one on the left hand finger and one on the right. ruclips.net/video/tkSY0CrtEbA/видео.html
Thank you for these great videos! Really enjoying using the thimble. I noticed when I catch my floats, the stitch ends up twisted. I noticed the twists on the next row and was able to correct them, but am wondering if others noticed this too?
Hi Jen! Yes as I mention later in the video it’s twisted when catching the background color so you just knit through the back loop on the following round. This can be handy when catching floats in consecutive rows as it’s a reminder to not catch the float in the same place as the previous row.
Thank RUclips for the great instruction. I just started a fair Isle project knitting in rows....is it always possible to go back to the beginning of the work instead of knitting a back row? This would be a great way instead of knitting left stitches.
I have one of those, however, my fingers are very small and its loos on me. Is there a place that sells extra small size? By the way beautiful work, and I love the pattern.
I have a small one that fits on the tip of my index finger. I use it on the right hand and have found it works for throwing quite well. It's seems much faster than without it.
It is the same with Estonian colourwork. There isn't traditionally such concept as colour dominance. On the contrary the aim is to achieve very "flat" look with both colours (or every colour) equally tensioned and even. May be the colour dominance is something that originally came from FairIsle and intarsia.
Who cares?? Norwegians aren’t the only Europeans with knitting skills and in Germany there’s definitely the concept of dominant color and in Asian countries there’s definitely the concept of dominant color also which is way older than any knitting history of any west all combined. Arne and Carlos aren’t the representative of knitting communities of Norwegian knitting or of Europe and no one cares Norwegian knitting actually. We care it’s knitted in Continental style as we can’t understand English style knitting advice in color work at least the techniques aren’t the same. And Norwegian knitting doesn’t equal Continental. No one call’s Norwegian knitting here. In many European countries knitting style is the same except in England and neighboring islands.

Thank you so much for this I just got some thimbles and couldn't figure out how to load the yarn and have it be comfortable.
Thanks
Such a good tutorial! Thank you!😍

Thank You. Nice never heard of Norwegian Thimble .
Thank you very much for that video, it helps a lot 💜💜💜
I gotta get that knitting ring!!!!
Very good instruction all around. Danke!

Can one of these be used if you hold your yarn English style instead of continental?

Nice video! I would have liked though to see how to catch a float, not just where.
Oh sorry! It’s in part two! Excellent!
Hello
I love your videos
Where can I get the thimble you are using?
Thank you very much ♥️♥️
Hello I'm New here and subscribe love your video this reminded me the Wayuu crocheting technic. Thanks for sharing keep up the good work beautiful
Thank you for sharing...😊
Can you link the pattern? Also I love the colors in the first swatch!
Thank RUclips for the great instruction. I just started a fair Isle project knitting in rows....is it always possible to go back to the beginning of the work instead of knitting a back row? This would be a great way instead of knitting left stitches.
Nice friend and big like I'm new subscribers
I am curious...is it possible to purl with this thimble?
Wonderful. Now where to get one?
why didn't you continue the knit while explaining the graph chart
Awesome......
You skipped the part where you actually demonstrate how to catch a float, unless I missed it somewhere?
It’s in the following video, Part 02. 😉
@@selena485 Thank you!
I have one of those, however, my fingers are very small and its loos on me. Is there a place that sells extra small size? By the way beautiful work, and I love the pattern.
Willow Dawn Deri Edwards I bought mine on amazon. They come in a packet with a large and a small
Mine is too big as well, I used several layers of medical tape to stick to the inside to shrink the diameter down a bit.
Great video! Hey where can I find this particular pattern you're using I love hearts
Krooked Rib Stitch It’s a free pattern by Kelsey Stephens of Primrose Yarn Co called “Choose Love Cowl” available on Ravelry
Impossível não ver as unhas dela
That is not knitting in the round. Knitting in the round requires the piece to be joined and working the piece in a continuous circle.
Lol yes I’m aware. As mentioned in the video, this is an example of SWATCHING in the round. 😉
Is there a video for Western throwers?
so a person can only use a knitting thimble on your left hand. If not a continental knitter, the thimble is useless?
Not so. I’ve seen English, throwers use it on the right hand.
I have a small one that fits on the tip of my index finger. I use it on the right hand and have found it works for throwing quite well. It's seems much faster than without it.
Arne and Carlos disagree with you on color dominance.
brainmatterz Interesting, can you elaborate?
