    Hi everyone! Thanks for all your comments, we are really pleased that we are able to give you a good tip to improve your knitting! We really mean it when we say that "knitting is cheating" so we will definitely think of some more things that you can do to "fix" mistakes in such a way that you don't need to rip up your knitting every time. I see a lot of people are mentioning Valentines day in the comments below and who thought that maybe we would do something Valentines-related on our channel this week, but actually, even though you can find some Valentines cards and other Valentine-related stuff in shops here in our country, we don't really celebrate Valentines day here in Norway so we didn't think about it... Well, there is always next year! Keep in mind that our next video will be a LIVE stream and will take place on Saturday February 16th at 6:00pm CET / 11:00am CST - and there will be no video published on Sunday February 17th. Have a great week ahead and we look forward to interact with you live, soon! Arne

    ???!!!!! That is not a small tip.... that's a LIFE CHANGER!!! In all my years of knitting , I've never heard of that! Honestly you are both such talented guys who underestimate how valuable your "small tips" are. Another HUGE thumbs up!!! Thank you!!

    "Knitting is all about cheating", says Carlos. One of the billions of things that make me love watching your videos. "Carlosisms". And, of course, the casual way Arne handles problems that put us into panic mode. Thank you once again, guys. Besos y abrazos.

    Wow fantastic idea. Ive been knitting since I was 8 (I’m now 63) and that’s a new trick to me. Thanks so much Arne and Carlos. Just love your podcasts. 🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶💙💙

    I honestly think there are people who get on youtube and watch for new videos just to press the thumbs down button without even watching the videos, I swear.
    All the thumbs downs on your channel should be ignored and disregarded as nothing! Seriously, what is in this video (or ANY of your videos) to dislike?!?!
    Baffles and confuses me to no end! There is nothing but smiles, wonderful knitting and crochet tutorials, laughing (Arne-I LOVE your laugh!!), great information about other crafts, hints and tricks about gardening, providing for wildlife (bird houses, feeders and even insects!!), you both have great hair, Carlos has a warm smile, Arne is a huggable cutie.
    And the best part?
    We get to see Carlos go jump in the lake once in a while!! 😂🤣
    Really, I love you both, thank you for this channel a million times infinity squared!!
    Also, seeing the fast forward of Arne knitting was cool, and to whoever did the video editing so you both were still talking normally (as opposed to the chipmunk chatter that usually accompanies fast forward action) great job!!
    Always looking forward to next Sunday with you guys!!
    Love, hugs, prayers and positive energy to both of you and your crew! 🤗💖

      I second all of that. If you were my neighbor you would have to shooo me home, I would be at your house all of the time. You guys are so delightful and you seem so simpatico with each other, which brings me great joy since I have pretty much given up on relationships. I envy your camaraderie. Blessings!

    in all my decades of knitting you showing me this was like a light bulb moment, may have even heard angels sing out lol. Great trick, thank you! had never ever even occurred to me. I feel slightly embarrassed to be honest.

    ARNE, YOU ARE MY HERO! This is a life changer. Amazing solution...so simple. I had to watch it a few times to believe it! I laughed when I think of the countless hours of my 70 years that have been spent ripping out and casting on again because of a twist. The irony that the solution is to twist.

    Hello Lovely Guys always a real pleasure to see you each Sunday evening. You are always a joy to watch and, yet again, I have learned something new tonight. I have struggled with twisted yarn for years but you have solved this problem for me. I just love watching you chat together with us all, just like old friends dropping in for a cup of tea and a slice of cake. Have a fabulous week ahead, you are my most favourite people. Hug and loves always xxxxxx Dorothy 😘🙋🏻❤️🌟

    @pamelaharris4016 5 лет назад +1

    @hazeldonner1855 5 лет назад +8

    Oh Arne!! This weekend I cast on 300 sts in Navy 4ply on 2.75mm needles. I was certain I had no twisted sts, until I put the work down and picked it up again, I think I must have twisted my needles round because 16 rows later I noticed I had a möbius!! I re-started the whole lot again. But a great tip to remember in the future. Thankyou for this vid. 😁👍

    • @sandygrogg1203
      @sandygrogg1203 5 лет назад +1

      Hazel Donner oh my goodness... 300 Stitches! It’s so easy to twist when you have so many stitches...and yiu were using dark yarn!

    • @hazeldonner1855
      @hazeldonner1855 5 лет назад +1

      Sandy Grogg
      I know!! Thing is, until I see Arne explain how to untwist, made me realise that was probably HOW I put a twist in my work. It’s all learning though and I should have checked several times. It’s all going well now.

    • @vivianpowell1732
      @vivianpowell1732 4 года назад +1

      Hazel Donner Another thing you can do to avoid twisting, especially after casting on a large number of stitches, is to postpone "joining in the round" until you have knitted 2 or 3 rows as in straight knitting. You simply use the circular needle like a straight needle. That way, your row of stitches is less likely to twist. Then you can join in the round after knitting 3 rows straight, without any problem. You close the gap of the first two rows by sewing it together with your yarn tail using the mattress stitch.

    Thank you Arne and Carlos! Could you please do a tutorial on how to calculate decreases for the crown of the hat you are making. Arne you make constructing a knitted cap look so easy, but how do you know how many decreases to start with on 64 stitches? Thanks again. Love how you calmly talk and cast-on so easily!

    Happy Sunday Funday! Thanks for another great knitting tip.
    Last November I took a class from Ann Budd with her skirt pattern. (shout out to Ann and Cowgirl Yarn in Laramie WY) I cast on near the end of the class. It has a twist in it and its living on the needles, but now I can fix it with ease and carry on! 😍 (Keep calm, and knit on!) Thank you for saving me from the massive re-cast on! Whoop whoop! 🎉
    Thank you so much for the weekly tutorials, crafting tips, and passing on some great pointers with us. Much appreciated! 💯❣️ Tusen Takk!

I did it a second time and .... well. I'm a beginner so sometimes you get surprised by things that happen...Like what????? I have used the magic :) Your comment about the cast on row being so boring. I really resonate with that comment. Thanks guys for another great video!

    It would be fun to hear all your favorite ways of cheating! Maybe using duplicate stitch to fix a colorwork mistake,.... or when you run out of yarn doing a long tail cast on and you can’t spit splice some more yarn on, picking up a couple of stitches evenly when you knit the first row....or maybe I cheat too much!🇺🇸❤️🇳🇴

    @dmcf77 5 лет назад

    I have given this trick to many a student over my 43 years of teaching. I have a friend who does production knitting doing lots of infinity scarves and cowls. Her trick for no twisting after casting on a large number of stitches is....as you cast on place a marker at the half way point. With all the stitches cast on, fold your needle cable at the marker.so the two halves are parallel then working back toward the points straighten the sts so the edge knots are all facing down. Turn the needles so they are facing each other and sat knitting. Do check the set of the sts. when you finish the first round.

    Hi Arne & Carlos. I see your tin can. I bought some at Christmas time. When I went to the city by jet 1 hour 30 minutes away I found small ones I wanted. I clean mine out let dry, cut felt material. It comes in many colors about size of sheet of paper & larger. I scratch inside of tin can & put Elmers Glue inside and cut the Felt fabric to size. I like them like that so my scissors and such don't make such a racket.
