      You both are. But I think in this instance Carlos explains it a little better because he had to learn this way after knitting another way, while Arne has always knitted this way (I think) and it's more second nature to him. But I love you both.

      Agree! This is very nice! Consider checking Portuguese style as well... My mom suffers of fibromyalgia, arthritis and arthrosis... I witnessed first hand how painful it can be. I like mixing styles when I'm bored of one repetitive motion... The important thing is to feel good and enjoying knitting🥰❤️ ...with the Portuguese style purl stitch you just have to flick your thump...

      I started learning Norwegian style so I can keep knitting. Last night I was struggling and feeling foolish and as I was concentrating I started seeing red which is not my yarn colors or needle and was confusing. When I focused I realized my arthritis was flaring up and I didn’t even notice! That gave me the confidence that I am on the correct path for Norwegian style knitting!

    This is so great to me. I am an American who learned to knit as an exchange student in Larvik, in 1981/82. Within two weeks of arriving I had knitting needles in hand and was told “ You will be the best knitter in the world because Norwegians are the best knitters in the world and we will teach you to knit our way.” True that!! I have been knitting ever since and everyone I meet and knit with are impressed at how fast and easily I knit. Thank You to every Norwegian knitter!!! Your country gave me my lifetime dearest skill!

I am proud to say that I believe I have mastered Norwegian! I still have a bit of trouble with tension, but it’s only been a few hours. I am so excited! Thank you so much for your tutorials! You have revitalized this old girl’s knitting!

      In Denmark as well 😊
      Maybe a more correct term would be ‘the Nordic purl’?
      In the old days, sheepherders would knit socks (for selling), while wandering and following their flock, the yarn ball hanging from a belt... A firm grip and a technique that allowed the knitters to keep their eyes more on the sheep than on their hands (and minding their steps) must have been essential, right?
      These techniques are the same that now allow knitters to easily follow our favourite series on tv while knitting without looking down (much) 😂 Happy ‘nordic’ purling, everyone 🧶 👀

    Thanks guys. I’m now a full Norwegian convert. I immediately took to the Norwegian knit stitch but found the purl tricky at first. Having built up some more knitting experience I revisited this video as I’m currently doing a shawl that has lots of purls and my purl method was just not comfortable for me. This time it clicked! The Norwegian purl gives so much more control, better tension and is comfortable and relaxed - I love it! Cha Cha Cha! 🕺

    I learned knitting after crocheting for years, and this is how I finally learned to purl after watching lots of RUclips videos. I absolutely baffled the other ladies in my knitting group who had never seen it that way before. I definitely wish I had had this demo way back then - it’s a lot easier to understand than the video I watched, which explained it as a “trick.”

As a result, my tension was always much looser than it should have been. This tutorial was super easy to understand (thank you!) and I FINALLY purl the "right" way :).

    @dianearnold5381 4 года назад +4

    I’ve always knitted the American way by “throwing” the yarn and after watching you for a bit, I was intrigued by the Norwegian knit and pearl and wanted to learn it. It was helpful to watch both Arne and Carlos - at first Carlos was the most helpful by showing the exact placement of the needle at each step. I could make the correct moves, but it felt so awkward. Then I watched Arne’s video from 2017 and realized there is a easy flow ( the DANCE!) that I needed to master! That helped so much. But I still didn’t have it... I then watched Carlos again and realized that in the Norwegian way of purling the needle moves dramatically down, then behind to grab the yarn off the finger and then , at the third CHA it goes upward. This was the key for me because in the way I have always knitted, the needles stay in the same basic place (and at the same angle to one another)and it is the hands that do all the moving. Does that make sense? For me that was the key. I am sure I couldn’t have learned it without you both! You two are a great team in so many ways. A wonderful example of how to collaborate in work and play and life.. this is such a soothing thing to see in these crazy times. Thanks for all!:)

      @user-bj1dq7zh4o 2 месяца назад +1

      Having purled like this over half a century already, I want to give you all an insight on this method. As you keep practicing it, you'll find out how your stitches on your left needle move towards the tip of the needle and the movement of the right hand makes is shortened! That is the gate to fast purling and less arthritis!

    That was very clear Carlos. Thank you. As I have mentioned the Norwegian knitting has given me the option of switching from the throw technique which gives relief to sore muscles. I learned the knit from Arne but gave up on the purl as it seemed easier to purl the throw style. But with your excellent clarity in tuition I have got the purl too. Arne teaches and guides me in so many principles and ideas, but when it comes to actually physically tutoring fine details , I understand Carlos better.

    Thank you for showing this method. I never could knit or crochet with my finger up and therefor I couldn’t knit the continental way. So I am glad that you showed how to knit this way. It resembles my way of holding the tread as if I am crocheting. Because this method makes my stitches much looser than when I knit the English way, and I am in the middle of a sock knitting project I have to stick with “throwing” the thread for now.

      You are very lucky that you learned this way. I was a thrower and knitting hurt my hands so I did mainly crochet. I now find that I have no problem holding the yarn for norwegian knitting.

      I have never seen a danish knitter throwing the yarn. Maybe this is actually the ‘scandinavian purl’?
      My guess is that this way of knitting goes back to the olden days when sheepherders were knitting socks for selling, while herding the flock Men, women and children were knitting -even on the move and therefore had to have a tight grip on their work, so not to loose their needles. When throwing you often have to let go of one of the needles to throw the 🧶 🙂

    This was perfect for me, thank you. I was able to see each movement clearly. I decided to start a hat and stop on a knit row to get ready for this tutorial. Today I will start doing purl rows over and over. After purling five or more rows at the same sitting I should be getting the hang of it. I am so excited to purl every day so the stitch and a rhythm become second nature. Oh, and the pull the cord is great. Hopefully the need to pull the cord will go away.

    So well done Carlos!... and Arne, you’ve captured my attention, the purl was holding me back from converting to the Norwegian method. I get it now. You caught my attention when you mentioned tendinitis which I developed recently. Didn’t believe my doctor when she told me to take a break from knitting thinking that was ridiculous. Maybe she was right. I’ll let you know if the switch is successful, hopefully it will help me to find relief. 🙏🏻

    I am visually impaired and trying to learn continental knitting, and failing. I discovered that the Norwegian knit is much easier for me. On the purl stitch it looks like you are picking the yarn as you would for knit. Is that correct?

    When I was little, my grandmother had slippery metal needles. I used to cry because all my stitches kept falling off. She told me she wished she had wooden needles for me as they held the yarn in place better. Her solution was to teach me a twisted knit stitch. Even though my purl was okay, I had to learn a twisted purl, so the fabric came out balanced. I am now nearly 70. I use pretty wooden needles. I always have trouble with patterns. Recently I learned regular knitting, like Carlos does. I find your purl is much more complicated than my yarn forward style but I like your cha cha cha. I wonder if I can figure out an untwisted purl. I will let you know. So glad Kate recommended you to me.
