Thank you so much! I have emailed today.
Congratulations to the winners!
Thank you all for joining in on the give away
Hi everyone! Thank you all for your amazing answers. We are currently touring so it is taking us a bit longer than we thought to read through all your comments! We will announce the three winners in the beginning of next week and announce it here and on our other social media accounts. Have a lovely Saturday! ARNE & CARLOS
Thanks so much for your update on the Prym give away!
Thank you for your answer!
You had me laughing so hard, I had to stop the video!
Arne: It’s not rocket science.
Carlos: No, it’s knitting.
Lol!
I knit every day so I would knit a lace scarf for a friend who is a nurse in critical care. I taught her to knit and, twice a month, I get to watch her pet each and every stitch as she knits. She literally loves each stitch she makes.
She is in her 40’s, her daughter died young with a condition where her ribs surrounded her heart and squeezed it. No cure.
My friend has attempted to knit this lace scarf several times without success.
My love language is service, so knitting the scarf will show my love for her and then give her the needles. 💗
Laughing so hard, my husband comes in from watching the game and wants to see!!
What a nice idea. I think you truly deserve the gift! 😊
Thank you for your reply, Cinzia. 😊
Thank you for your answer!
😍
What a life-changing concept about adding yarn when you run out with the long tail cast-on! I have been knitting for 55 years and redone it countless times...cursing under my breath. I was taught by my mother who was a relentless perfectionist about everything and anything and although I love knitting you have made it much more enjoyable in the short time I have come upon your videos.
I would knit one of your colorwork sweaters for my husband. Then amazingly, as he has not worn anything patterned or multi-colored since I have known him, a mere 28 years, -- I might wear it! I would also share the needles with my work colleague who I encouraged to knit and is an excellent knitter in record time.
I look forward to your videos weekly and enjoy them on many levels. They are very inspirational and also good fun - my favorite was your "glamping adventure" -- it once took numerous people to extract me from a kayak and fortunately it is not on film.
I have never seen this and I have been knitting since I was a kid and only found other cast ons a few years ago. I have always used long tail cast on and there have been so many times when I was cursing not having a long enough tail (or a way too long tail)
Thank you for your answer!
I just learned this trick a few weeks ago. Just in time to cast on 400 stitches for a huge shawl for my sister-in-law! Game changer!
My Danish 88 year old mom is fond of knitting cancer treatment hats for our children's hospital. She has done hundreds since Dad died a few years ago. She taught me to knit and I have been enjoying making socks. We like to see your videos and we laugh with you as you demonstrate helpful tips. Our winter is long and I so loved your lanterns resting in the snow alcoves. Best wishes to you both and much appreciation,
Paula and Norma
Thank you for your answer!
tip : I take My yarn and just wrap it around my needle - like a spiral - as many times as I need stitches - so if I need to cast on 84 st I wrap 84 times- and then placing my finger a little further down the yarn I double up the yarn and make a slip knot where my fingers were so I have the 2 treads for casting on :-) hope that made
Sense
Thank you for sharing Carla!
I do that sometimes, but I usually end up with more than I need, which is fine, Except that I hate wasting yarn. 🤣🤣🤣
Deborah Olliff keep the extra yarn for a future Pom Pom
My Mind is blown. In 40+ years of knitting, it never occurred to me to knot the other end of the wool to continue casting on. This will save me so much time and aggravations. Thanks so much for the give away. It's so generous.
You are welcome!
Gonna make some Christmas balls for my husband because he says is his actual "balls" have been in my purse since we married!
This was my attempt at comedy.
You mean your knitting bag right? 😉😹
Now that is funny!!!!
@@dorindacontreras1094 thank you Dorinda.
Thank you for your answer!
@@iChillypepper knitting bag! Yeah that's right!
Wow. I've struggled with casting on all of my life. It's always too tight and uneven. After this lesson from Arne, I'm a freaking professional! My cast-on is beautifully even with a relaxed tension. Fantastic. I can't thank you enough!!!
i have been intending to knit matching sweaters for my mom and my dog, for when they go out. She loved the idea.
Thank you for your answer!
Arne and Carlos, you taught me how to knit, 100%. I am a life long left-handed crocheter who can finally knit! You also showed me a new way to join granny squares which I used. And I love both of your voices, but I hear Arne in my head every single time I purl, "dis is da dancing." It makes me smile. I would cast on finger-less gloves first. Those white needles are beauties.
Thank you for your answer!
Well I lost my best friend 😭 of 25yrs 10-02-19, we use to face time and crochet together, (cause she didn't know how to knit.) She only knew the ripple stitching and made only one blanket for a baby, but she would always pull out the one we face time with to work on, well when I got to finally see it Lol! It was wider and longer than a king size bed, we had a great laugh! If I was to win I would knit a mini pair of socks every Christmas and start a Garland in her honer cause she always had cold feet. Thank you for the chance to win!
Thank you for your answer!
First of all, the add on while casting on is BRILLIANT. Especially when casting on more than a hundred stitches. No more swearing 🤣
Thank you!
I've just taught myself to knit the Norwegian way from watching your videos. My 87 year old Mother was recently visiting and I got her hooked on your videos as well. She insisted I set up her iPad so she could watch you all the time and wants to learn the Norwegian way as well. ! I would gift the needles to her so she can knit along with you in comfort. I'm planning to knit a Setesdahl sweater. My Grandmother had one that is beautiful and has been passed down to my niece. I would love to have one myself. As you say, it's not rocket science!
I taught myself the same way! We are knit sisters!!!! Have a super day Connie!
Thank you for your answer!
As a newish knitter I have never got the concept of the long tail cast on until this particular demonstration. Thank you.
Thank you for your answer!
Dearest Arne and Carlos, I will need the crochet hook set please 💕❤️ for hooking up your flower crochet throw... Which is stunning. Much love Claire xxx p.s can I come and live on the Lake with you... I'll be no trouble and live in the greenhouse 🏵️🌺🌼🌸🌺🌼🌺🌸🏵️
Thank you for your answer!
I am 71 & I have been knitting & crocheting since I was 6. My knitting teacher was a Titanic survivor & my crochet teacher was a Chinese woman who lived next door. I love knitting sweaters for my dear grandson & crocheting dresses for his sister.
Thank you for your answer!
As a young girl growing up in a small village in Mauritius, my Mum taught me the English way of knitting but your video presentations are so engaging they enthused me to learn your way of knitting. Your videos are so good they have sustained me in this endeavour so now that I have learnt your way and I am knitting a beret. I'm a retiree, "Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?"
Thank you so much Nivedita!
Thanks for another great video! Long-tail cast on is my favorite, but I never thought of taking the yarn from the middle if I ran out. Great tip! Would love to win the Prym needles, as I find as I get older my hands start to bother me if I knit too long. I am planning on knitting a shawl for an elderly, rather proper and formal friend. And I thought, a shawl for a “PRIM and PROPER” lady needs to be made with “PRYM” needles!
Thank you for your answer!
Ha! I love your comment at the end... As I am watching this in 2023! 🩷 Thank you so much for your education and knowledge and overall really uplifting personalities. You just made a long tail cast on not so daunting. It's knitting after all!
I will be casting on in the round while singing;
"Please do not drop a stitch,
when knitting with soft wool,
that does not give the skin an itch
ooh, this new pattern looks so cool!
So stitches
please on my needle you stay!
Knit and purl always in the right way.
Hope to knit so well and fast until the end,
because when finished,
I'll give this to a friend!"
With my kind regards!
Thank you for your answer!
Hello from Longmont, CO! I am so glad I got the chance to meet you both at your talk here and to chat with you about Nord Aurdal where my great-grandparents came from in the 1870s. You two had us all in "stitches," pun intended, with your humor and joy. Thank you for taking the time to come all the way to CO. Glad you got to hear some elk bugling in the Rockies. I am still figuring out circular needles but I'm about to start a brioche cowl with a branching tree design. Wish me luck and come back to Longmont one day! Until then, I'll watch your videos to see the beautiful mountains where my ancestors farmed.
Thank you for your answer!
Oh my gosh, a beautiful gift, if I win my darlings, I’m a sub of 77, I would knit in rounds, a Peter heater for my husband of 56 yrs ,it goes minus -40 degrees in Ontario .....I like all you do, I shared, bye now XX
Thank you for your answer!
Bwahahaha! Is a “Peter heater” what it sounds like? 😂
hahaha. Love it
Can I have the pattern for the Peter theater, please?
Darrell Anderson this is not for theatre sorry cannot help.
Oh, my my... bet I could knit from 9 to 5 with those Prym and proper tools ~ my hubby of 40 years is soo dreamy and I’d put love in every stitch of a cozy wool sweater for him.
Thank you for your answer!
2019 Rhyme.
Your imagination takes flight
When working with Prym’s pure delight.
Shiny long needles no longer in the air
As Freya twirls and birls, extraordinaire!
My creative project is to design a Celtic wrap
I will gift the Prym’s needles to my friend Kat as I plan to teach her to knit.
Kat wants to knit for her family members. Also to teach her young daughter
to knit so they can share their knitting experiences together throughout the years.
Freya’s knitted winter coat pattern will be used to knit a coat for Clemmie, their dog.
Thank you for your answer!
I use the inside and the outside from the very start of the cast on. No worries about running out or adding on. I just loosely knot them together, then when I weave in the ends I undo the starting knot. Love you guys. Hugs to Freya
Thank you for sharing!
Okay, this is not likely to make you laugh but I have several projects in mind.
1. My friend, Joan- she donates plasma and says she gets cold while doing so. Even though the facility offers $100 per session (2x/mo) she never takes it. She is one of the most selfless people I have ever met.
2. My sister, Molly- I was adopted out when I was young and we have never met as we have different mothers (mine passed away). We found each other 2 years ago (after 48 years). I'm making her something blue (her favorite colour).
Note: it was fun finding someone with the same warped sense of humour as myself. We totally grok each other. It must be genetic.
3. Last but not least, my youngest son, AKA The Frog. He also possesses said warped sense of humour. This year he is getting either a hat with Santa skulls on it or socks with skulls. Depends on what yarn I have available at the time.
So, there it is. My Christmas projects.
In passing I want to thank you guys for the joy you bring in your videos. It brings much pleasure watching. Have a blessed day.
Thank you for your answer!
I love your relaxed attitude about knitting. You are both an inspiration to me to try more challenging projects and to NOT stress about minor errors in my knitting. Thanks, guys.
I learned long-tail cast-on about 60 years ago as a child and always use it (except for provisional cast-on situations or adding stitches in the midst of a project. I am always amazed at the number of people who cannot do long-tail and will not even try it. It is by far the fastest cast on method for large numbers of stitches. Right now I am making slippers from your felted slippers book for a family gathering in late November (Thanksgiving holiday in the US). I hope to have slippers made for everyone - and of course, I start them all with a long-tail cast on.
Thank you for you answer!
OK so It's 2024 and I've just recently found your RUclips channel and you made laugh with "if you're watching this in 2024 is old news". I've casted on in long tail since I stared knitting and I'd never realize that I could join the other end of the yarn!!! My mom would want to hear it too! Love your videos!!! And yes! It's not rocket science, just enjoy your knitting 😊
Welcome to our channel Marisel and make sure to share the method with your mother.
I am not a comedian to make you laugh but I am a knitter who would love these needles. .thanks for your videos
Thank you for your answer!
You guys are looking pretty sharp in those sweaters.
Mmmmmmm....what not to cast on is the question! Right now I have so many projects in the works and it would be wonderful to have more needles to make more sweaters, socks ,vests.... For everyone! And especially since they are especially helpful for the eyes and hands! Thanks for your podcasts which have helped me a great deal in my knitting journey. ☺️
Thank you for your answer!
You two are so charming and entertaining. I laughed so much as I enjoyed the video and truly appreciate the effort you bring. It's good to see how other people do things. Your English is amazing mistakes and all. These little things are what made watching you so much fun.
Thank you for your answer!
How lovely! I have used the long tail cast on forever.......and I'm old! I have always wrapped the yarn around the needle and then multiplied to get enough yarn, but your method of joining from the inside or outside is so much easier!! I have learned from you how to start without using a slip knot, thanks boys.....you can teach an old dog new tricks! And speaking of old dogs, my girl just turned 13 and needs a new sweater.
Thank you for you answer!
Knitting and crocheting are a part of my therapy (US Air Force Veteran) and I make things for homeless veterans. My goal is to learn how to knit socks for them. Love watching you two guys.
Thank you for your answer!
I always started the long tail from a slip knot because that's the way the books I had showed it. But then in an earlier video I saw Arne do it like he showed here, tried it, and like the way it looks much better. So,thanks Arne! I always have to watch your videos at least twice because there is so much to see and learn from them!
Thank you for your answer!
I have a done the long tail cast on forever. I like using your finger to space the stitches slightly and also adding the extra yarn. It’s never too late to learn new techniques. Thanks! I think you both look very nice in your sweaters. Great patterns.
Thank you for you answer!
My service dog is blind now. But he remains a light hearted goffy ray of sunshine! He's so happy go lucky that it's hard to ever be sad around him! He loves to play in the snow. Witch will be coming very soon. I'm learning how to knit cables. I'd love to make him a winter coat so we can go out and catch snow flakes on our tongues! :) Thank you guys for the knot idea. I would have never thought of it!
Thank you for your answer!
I am going to be a rebel and not comment on the needles but will comment on those absolutely fabulous sweaters both of you have on!!! I absolutely enjoy watching you and I could be in the worst mood and watch the two of your lovely faces and my day is made whole! Stay knitty and witty😉
Thank you for your answer!
Love watching you guys! I generally listen and watch podcasts at 1 1/2 times the “normal” speed. My son says it’s like listening to “knitting chipmunks” and it drives him crazy if he wants to watch with me. My son, who is 13 years old has just learned to knit and I think these would be a wonderful Christmas gift.
Thank you for your answer!
I’ve been lusting after these needles since I first saw them a few months ago. I enjoy doing prayer shawls and or scarfs, so that’s probably what I’ll plan on creating. My godmother deserves a special gift and what’s more special than a gift created by hand...especially my hands. I’m a tight knitter and have arthritis; these needles look like they’ll ease both issues, beautifully.
Thank you for you answer!
Well because of you guys I have learned to knit "Norwegian". Our local yarn shop told me that I cannot get a good tension with Norwegian knitting. Since I started about 5th grade with crocheting I wanted to keep the yarn in my left hand. It has worked well for me. It has really helped my knitting go smoother. I now find rib is so much easier to do. I like learning something new with everything I make. I need to learn how to make a hat. So I would cast on a hat for myself. I don't have anything funny to say. I just do enjoy watching you both. Love the holiday videos. To see how you decorate so creatively. Have safe travels. Thank so much for such great videos and teaching us all so much.
Happy knitting and we are glad you find our tutorials useful!
Thank you so much! I learn so much from each of your videos. Finally I’ll be able to knit socks.
Have fun knitting your socks!
Traying to make short rows crochet socks heels, I found your video about the easiest sock in the world this summer and I got amazed with the way you teach. Since that I start knitting again which was the first technique I learn a little when I was 9. You both have made me laugh, dream and learn so much. I love to watch Arne hands knitting and Carlos talking in the background with Arne, It is super relaxing. I love your patterns and I alredy learn the noregian knitting style by watching your tutorials. I would like to have those needles to improve my knitting skills.
Thank you for your answer!
Great idea for the cast on..I love prym needles.❤
Thank you Laurel!
The possibilities are endless... I think I would have to knit one of the Arne and Carlos Sweaters. I've never knit with white needles, but I can see how the stitches would stand out with white as the background. I spend part of my time in California - wish I was going to be there to meet you. Have a great trip and thanks for another video! Margaret O'Brien
Thank you for your answer!
I would knit fingerless gloves for a coworker who is always cold. She always has a smile and is willing to help anyone with any questions.
Love your podcast. You guys always bring a smile to me.
Thank you for your answer!
Yay Yay Giveaway!! What a beautiful set of needles. I would love to knit to learn to knit with these.😊
Thank you for your answer!
Just a note. I was taught that wrapping the yarn you are using around the needle you are using 10 times, then pull that amount off 4 times for 40 stitches or 10 times for 100 stitches, etc. It's always worked for me. Love your work and good luck to everyone.
Thank you!
Hi Arne and Carlos, just a few hours ago I gave a friend a little book of baby Knits titled, “what to knit when your expecting”. I told her to pick out five items she would like me to knit for little PJ. She may get three over time. Then I will cast on one of the smaller shawls I am planning on knitting for myself. I crochet and learned to knit through RUclips’s many generous instructors including the 2 of you 😉 I just completed a top from the same book for my co-worker’s newborn and it came out so nice. That was my first completed garment! I am working on a knit tee for myself also. Very frustrating but I will carry on to completion!! I get so much more pleasure seeing something I created being used. There really is great happiness in giving to others 💕 I saw you demonstrate these Prym needles when they came out. I would love to have this set of needles to create lovely thinks with for myself and others. You can never have to many needles! Thank you Arne and Carlos for sharing such a lovely gift.
Liz U.
Thank you for your answer!
Oh Thank you ARNE and CARLOS for introducing me to Prym,
My fingers want to Thank You for they really have been pinched,
Oh how these would work wonders for my knitting skills you see,
But life with your RUclips channel teaching me is everything ❤️
Thank you for your answer!
Love the tip for adding the yarn tail to the cast on. Always so clever! I knit regularly for the homeless in our community. It’s a cold environment here in Newfoundland so I’ve been knitting wool socks, scarves, hats, and donating regularly to a homeless shelter for several years. Given the needle sizes, I’d probably use for scarf and hat, maybe mitts or wrist & hand warmers too. Always try to have an extra batch to pass along - filled with goodies - at Christmastime. If you can manage it, another much appreciated giveaway would be sock yarn, or any kind of wool.
Thank you for your answer!
Thank you for the tutorial! Great information. I would knit a pair of socks each for my 2 daughters for Christmas. It's our tradition and they look forward to them every year now.
Thank you for your answer!
I've been knitting for quite a few years now but have not knit a sweater yet. I adore all of the sweaters you two wear each time we see you. Such inspiration you are. I would love to attempt my first sweater with those needles. I would give it to my lovely mom. She is 82 and I love her dearly.
Thank you for your answer!
You guys are great! Thank you for sharing your tips regarding the long tail cast on. I would use these needles to teach my husband to knit. What a great way to protect your wrists while making beautiful projects!
Thank you for your answer!
Thank you for that tip; use the yarn from inside the yarn. Hooray. No more ripping out!!!!
Glad you found it useful!
Since I've knitted an aviary full of your birds, I would use the circular needles to cast on a giant ostrich (pattern modified from the smaller birds). I would gift the needles to my sister-in-law/knitting buddy who lives far away. We adore seeing you on RUclips and someday hope to cruise with you! You guys brighten the days (which are getting shorter and shorter). Thank you for all the belly laughs, and more importantly, thanks for all the knitting wisdom.
Thank you for you answer!
I would use them to decorate my work break room. Working in retail can really put a stress on you. I think some pumpkins and leaves scattered around might bring some joy of the coming season.
Thank you for your answer!
I would knit Christmas presents for coworkers, but seeing as I am a procrastinator they may get them in July! I love how you make knitting fun! Thanks for taking the fear and stress out of knitting!
Thank you for your answer!
Congratulations to the winners of this giveaway. Good luck to all of you. Happy stitching.
Happy stitching to you too!
Arne and Carlos! It’s going to snow on Thursday in Minnesota! Those fantastic Prym needles would come in SO HANDY so I could finally start my ‘song of the sea’ cowl. I took a class at StevenBe last weekend in Minneapolis and I mesmerized one of the students with my mad Norwegian knitting skills learned from you when you blew through town during your coast to coast tour! I’m HOOKED on your videos! I’m a high school teacher and I’m teaching kids how to knit- the Norwegian way!
Thank you for your answer!
I would knit or crochet a garment or toy for my two sons. Every week they sit and watch your video with me and love the fact that (sorry Arne), one of them is called Carlos like you. They both love choosing yarn for me to make their next project and love telling everyone that I made their hat, jumper etc. It is so lovely when something you make is really appreciated. Recently when in a book shop (craft section) my younger son (4) shouted "It's Arne and Carlos" which had a few people looking around but sadly it was only a picture of you on a book cover.
Thank you for your answer!
I would cast on Christmas stockings for my husband and I. I knit stockings for both kids when they were babies, and now they are 9 and 13...so, it's about time!
I would gift these to my mom who has finally discovered circular knitting and sock knitting :)
Oooo that rounded tip is just what I need for knitting this lace shawlette I've been battling for months now lol! The yarn is the smoothest, softest yarn ever but.... it shoots off the tips so I'm super ultra tight on this project and it's slow going! After I completed the beautiful devil shawlette I would gift the needles to my dear friend who loves to knit but has carpal tunnel. I'm glad that you showed us how to do the easy long tail cast on. I avoid it just because I've never wanted to spend the time measuring out lol! I don't have time for that!!!! Thanks for another great video per usual!
Thank you for your answer!
I want to knit sweaters for my nieces baby goats cause it's cool when they're born, I'm not kidding ! Love the sweaters you two are sporting in this video !
Thank you for you answer!
I would long tail cast on to knit mittens to gift to my 7 year old granddaughter. She told me she loves mittens. Love u guys and your videos too! I've been knitting for around 50 years and still learned some things from u guys. : )
Thank you for you answer!
Lovely to see you two again & I just love the fabulous knitwear you guys are wearing today. Cheers from W.A. 😊😊
Thank you!
I could cast on a brioche cowl that I have had planned for, oh no, wait, maybe Christmas socks but maybe the sweater I promised my daughter. Wait, what was the question. Love watching you two and the relaxed approach you bring to knitting. Thank you!
WOW! How kind. What a beautiful set! I would use them to pay it forward to those in need. I knit, crochet for sick adults, children. I also make pet beds. Getting older, it’s getting very difficult to do so. My hands and eyes are just not the same. My mind is 24 but my hands and eyes are way over 60+. 😉. Age is all a state of mind but I wish they knew that too lol. Tyvm for this kind offer and as always, wishing you both an amazing new week!
Thank you for your answer!
Well now, thanks to Arne's very brilliant demonstration of how to tie a knot there are so many things I can do now that I've never been able to do! The possibilities are endless! As to what I'd knit with these beauties, what WON'T I knit with them? I'm currently working on 3 fair isle pillows for 3 who have been very good to my husband and myself and after that hats for children in need within my community.
Thank you for your answer!
Thanks for the tip about the tail. It seems so obvious now! No more undoing and redoing. I would knit a net bag for a friend so she can reduce her use of plastic bags
Thank you for your answer!
Currently I am a crocheter, but would love to learn to knit. I watch your videos, but, alas, I have no knitting needles to try it for real. 😕 I have a niece in college who is like a daughter to me and I found a beautiful slouch hat that I would love to knit for her. She is doing a study abroad in Luxembourg in January and a warm toasty hat would be perfect to take along. I also experience pain in my hands so these needles look perfect. I love watching your videos and especially the garden tours. 🌻🌼🌹 My garden is also a big inspiration to me. Keep up the awesome work you do. The 2 of you always bring rays of sunshine in the room. ☀️☀️☀️ I hope I win the beautiful set of needles to be able to add a whole new skill set to what I currently know. Thanks Arne and Carlos!
The woman who taught me to knit said that you can estimate one inch of yarn for each stitch you need to cast on. I watch you every week that you come out with a new video and I have watched most of your old videos. I enjoy you both immensely.
I would knit the garden gate sweater that I have had my eye on and I would have my daughter crochet the flower throw that you all designed (I can't crochet, but she is brilliant at it)
Thank you for your answer!
Tie a knot and keep going?? Mind blown!! I have spent a lot of time re-doing my long tail cast on all these years and all I needed was a knot?! May as well have been rocket science!! 🤣Now my hands hurt (I have arthritis in both wrists and thumbs and am self-diagnosing that it may have been caused by so many long tail cast on re-dos!) and those Prym needles will be helpful when I cast on the tbd sweater I am knitting for my husband! Thank you!!
Thank you for you answer!
I love spontaneous humor - laughed a lot at you both trying to look anxious about casting on - but I'm not a comedy writer so I yield the lovely Prym needles to whomever you choose.
Thank you for your answer!
Arne and Carlos are my favourite RUclips stars
Who would share their knitting wisdom if they lived on Mars
They offered up Prym
And I decided on a whim
To knit Christmas balls for my husband’s bicycle handlebars.
Thank you both - I truly enjoy your channel and you always make me laugh.
Hello . . . As always love your teachings and new products. Copy all your videos and watch them when I please. 🥰😘
Thank you for your answer!
Thanks for all your tips. The Prym and proper way to use the gifts are many....scarves, socks, hats, sweaters, Christmas balls, market bags, etc. Pryms would fit my hands well. Thanks!
Thank you for you answer!
I’m glad y’all did this podcast I have redone over 100 stitches😪. I’m happy happy 😃 now thank you very much.
I’m a new knitter I would use them myself. Would make a what ever I can. I have madea three
Thank you for you answer!
Right now knitting is on the back burning because of my home renovation project. I just wanted to let you know that I enjoy your videos, they always brighten my day. I hope to meet you both someday, maybe take one of your trips. I know it would be a great experience.
Thank you!
Fabulous tip...My grandson and granddaughter would be wonderfully happy with these...one each for them...Ohh, but there is one left over I guess grandma would use them too cast on a new Sweater for my Wiener dog..Ruckus...Thank u❤️
First of all, thank you for the tip about adding to the tail. I have always just started over (sometimes several times). The first time I taught my friend to cast on for cowl I made her start over when she didn't have a long enough tail. She stills teases me about "undoing" her hard work! I've enjoyed your videos so much and have even started making the Anja scarf after watching the beginner crochet lessons. I would definitely use the needles to knit a sweater for my partner. I've been afraid to because there is a saying: "Never knit your boyfriend a sweater". But I think it's time since we have been together for over 11 years! Hopefully, the sweater won't change that! I would even share the needles with my friend since teaching her and seeing her excitement at learning has reinvigorated my love of knitting! Thanks for all your help!
Thank you for your answer!
You two are so talented. I'd make mittens for my kittens as they have lost theirs!! Booooo!! Bad joke right?? Haha!! Seriously, a blanket of lovely colors!! Very sweet of you to have this giveaway.
Thank you for your answer!
I ordered your book, 55 Christmas Balls to Knit, and it arrived a few weeks ago. My husband was impressed that I was apparently going to knit all 55 by Christmas. “I find 2 is enough” he said. Challenge accepted!
Good luck Lynda!
I like anytime of the year gifts. I would finally cast on a shawl I was so very excited to start, but when i started it the first time it ate me alive. It was my first time reading a chart and it mind as well have been rocket science not just knitting.
Thank you for your answer!
Thank you Arne and Carlos! I'd love to try the Prym circulars to cast on stitches for a man's girdle! My husband complains about his belly so I figure if my tension is correct, he'll be able to squeeze into the jeans he wore last year! 😂😂😂
Thank you for your answer!
Oh, I know what I'll knit with these needles! I am going to make the longest fluffiest scrappiest scarf with all colours and kinds of yarn. I have plenty of left over Kidsilk Haze to make it extra fluffy. I'm pretty sure that once I get started knitting up the wild stash I won't be able to stop - so everyone in the family will be wrapped up in soft, squishy, colourful scarves. We'll look like a cross between peacocks and muppets. I might have to add some sequins for a bit of flash and sparkle. Thank you for the inspiration, and see you in November at your workshop in Edmonton!
Thank you for your answer!
Because my sister is so in love with both of you and your podcast (and so am I), even though she doesn't knit, I would love to try these needles on my first colorwork hat as a present for her. It's cold here in Prescott AZ in the winter. We so look forward to your podcasts every Sunday.
Thank you for you answer!
I love Prym needles.....I am going to knit a shawl for my neighbor who is 94 yrs. She recently had a stroke and just returned from the nursing home a couple of weeks ago. She is recovering very well and still manages get herself ready every morning and she looks so pretty. I can only hope and pray I look as good as she does when I am 94.😁🤗
Thank you for your answer!
@@ARNECARLOS thank you for your tutorials and videos 😁 hope you both have a very blessed week💖💖💖
I am pleased we use the same cast on! By the way I adore Carlos's jumper!
Thank you Antonio!
Loved your lecture at knit city Vancouver. I was there and thought you two are so talented and FUNNY COMICAL!!👏👏❤️
Thank you!

You are welcome!

Thank you for your answer!
Thank You for the Video and thankful for teaching us! Wishing You a peaceful and wonderful Week! Love from Portugal! ♥ ♥ :)
Thank you!
Hello from Neuquen, Argentina. Thank you for all your videos and the nice moments we spend watching. Im not really in laugh mood because my mom has just passed away (99 years old) My mom and her mom told me to knit with doublepointed needles and now Im trying to "evolve" to circular needles. Some time ago I made a knitted doll for my grandson (2 years old) to help him understand to use warm knitted garnments. It worked very well. If the doll uses the small version, he uses his woolen vest or sweater. So I thought that I will make the clothing for his doll according to the uniform he will use next year when he will go to kindergarten. Best wishes. Thank you
Thank you for your answer!
I was at knit city and took the hat class. So of course I would use these needles to perfect my new skill of knitting the Norwegian way! And I bought plenty of yarn to practice on! My Dad had a sense of humor and made us all laugh. So it must be the Norwegian in us all when we make humous comments. Enjoy your travels and I hope the opportunity comes up again when I can take another class with you two.
Thank you for your answer!
We love your videos and tutorials. My son taught himself to knit and became very good at it while he was away graduate school. Now we enjoy knitting together. He's still borrowing my needles so I would gift them to him if I won. He's a terrific knitter and I'm sure he would cast on something fabulous.
Thank you for your answer!
I am a new knitter as I always crocheted. New to knitting but not new to life...78 yrs old. I would love those needles and I would cast on a nice shawl to give to my daughter-in-law whom I love dearly, strange but true.😊❤ I live in warm California.😁
Thank you for your answer!
My favorite way of knitting sox is with DPN's but I have used magic loop, yes Carlos, magic. I'd like to give Santa's elves a break this year and make sox myself as Christmas gifts. Those little guys work way too hard. I did this a couple seasons ago and tried to use different yarns and a couple styles. They weren't very good (style-wise) and I still stick to "vanilla" sox.
Thank you for your answer!
I Arne & Carlos, nice to see you again! I certainly, for sure make, a jumper for my husband for is brirthday in November. He is always asking me, just when i start a new project "What are you doing this time? is that for me?". Poor guy, no it is not for him! So anyway i must knit something for him, he deserves. Thanks and good luck everybody.
Thank you for your answer!
