Lovely to have you back. I hope you feel rested. I made 2 mice from the garden book years ago. One had a sweater and the other had a dress from the doll pattern, I called her Inga. Surprisingly, they haven’t produced offspring. I think it’s time they had a family. 😂🐀🐁🐀🐁
Its so nice to see, that you both are healthy and happy. 👍😉🌻🥂 Raglan is for me the most comfort type to wear. Long time ago I have had a coat with raglan. It was the best, because you can wear thicker or thinner pullovers and it is always comfort to wear. 😀
Thanks for the tip! I have the USA version of your book - Favorite Designs. I am just now working to finish two Teddy Bears for my great-grandchildren, using your new Regia Lofoten design yarn. I love the book. Glad to see you both!
I'm still rewatching old episodes while I crochet a blanket for winter but I'm sure my productivity will improve once I have some new sit and knit time to enjoy with you two. Best wishes from Scotland.
Will be great if you make video for sweater calculations. Information how to choose the ease and everything necessary to finish it. How to make the neck line for example.....everything from "a" to "z".
Thanks a million. I really appreciate the tips about adding stitches. Makes complete sense - especially for cable patterns - but I just never thought about it properly before. I love how freeing your approach is :-)
Magnus is soo cute... I have a small one. Those tips are great and as I'm listening I saying its the same for a sweater for a person. Incidentially, bottom up sweaters are easier, in my opinion. I've tried both, but I prefer bottom up - they go faster too.
I've heard bottom up is easier cus near the end you decrease as opposed to increase. If you increase when you're tired it can be hard to stay motivated. So you want the later stages of a project to become easier not harder. Swallow the ugliest frog first (the widest part, probably thr hem)
Thank you for mentioning the title of the books being a little different USA/UK. I bought the one from UK but then saw the USA one. I nearly bought it too. I know you work really hard and it is possible you have enough for two books... Keep well.
So lovely to see you in your garden and the tips and tricks are always helpful. The big mouse is beautiful and I can’t wait to see his/her sweater in the future! ❤️ from 🇨🇦
Arne and Carlos this is such a nice vlog. I love your location and the tips you give for knitting a raglan sweater. Hope you are still enjoying your summer. Please pet Freya and Helmer for me
Hi Arne&Carlos, Lovely to see you😀 You both look very smart in your shirts today🥰 Thank you for sharing the jumper pattern💕 Can’t wait to knit the mouse:) Kimx
My mother used to have a formula for making raglan sweaters and of course I didn't take a massive amount of notice back then because drop shoulders were all the rage and that's what I was making. I prefer the look of raglan though. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us.
This is my favorite therapy sweater pattern. I love knitting the parts and hate sewing them up. What great instructions and tips you have for the mouse! The book has great graphics!
Hi Arne and Carlos...a few days ago it was my 40th birthday and my boyfriend gave me a shirt from you because I watch you regularly and I love you so much ❤️ ! The best present I got that day!
This episode reminds me of some of your older ones for some reason. Great to learn something new with you guys, as always, with a little comforting dose of nostalgia.
This tutorial is just what I need because I want to design and make a raglan sweater for myself. You make it sound so easy, I hope it is. So happy to have you back with new episodes. I've missed you!
@@agemoth I haven't tried yet but Arne and Carlos` mini Nordic sweaters have shown me how Nordic sweaters are knitted so I'm going to follow the same construction method but basing it on how many stitches I need for my measurements. Perhaps Arne and Carlos will do a video on how to do the maths for the sleeves... How about it guys?
Awe, Magnus is so darn cute! I can picture little Magnus on the tree and big Magnus under it, all decked out in holiday sweaters, including Santa hats. :D xoxo's Sandie
Great to see you back wish I seen this early as I knitted a jumper for a pig ( soft toy) it would have been a big help My pups are joining in with the barking. Stay safe x
I have this book signed by you, love it and it's s a great addition to my library. Thanks for the instructions. Looking forward to your Wednesday podcast😎.
Thank you so much for all you do. I'm a beginning knitter and came upon your channel looking for Norwegian knitting. I'm so happy I did. I'm going through all of your videos and am watching the Last Homely House thanks to your suggestion as well.
It’s funny - I’ve always knitted “by eye” and without a pattern. In fact I didn’t even know there WERE written patterns until relatively recently. I’ve always measured, knitted samples, done a lot of arithmetic and then was off to the races. In college I knitted hats and mittens for friends - put their names and other designs on them - and some were admittedly more successful than others. But all were done with great enthusiasm and were received with pleasure from friends. Thanks for this video and sorry for my day-late ramblings. I am in summer mode, far fewer deadlines and agendas. Xxxooo
Love this. Not only do I think I will adapt this to myself but I think I'll also adapt it to work in the flat instead of the round (I'm an English style knitter). I'm learning knitting with circular needles but I think one circular needle project at a time is enough for me right now, currently I'm more skilled at working flat.
Brilliant tips for the little sweaters. I have this book too. Love all your books. The photos are lovely in them all. Thanks for your video. Take care and see you soon xxx
Thank you for the pattern with the illustration. I assume for humans we would start the sleeve with a wrist measurement and make increases to get to the number of stitches that are 1/2 the circumference of the chest. You had a great video a long time back explaining how to do that but I have never been able to find it again. Can’t wait to see the mouse properly dressed.
I love your mouse! I have your book & am trying to work up the courage to make one! Your garden looks very beautiful! We are burning up here in the U.S, so even tomatoes are too hot!
Ha! Ha! Ha! I heard “nude,” too. Maybe it’s my allergies affecting my hearing. Will Magnus go in the buff during summers or will he have a summer outfit? Good video about winter clothes for Magnus Mouse. Thank you.
Great tutorial and your garden is looking lovely! I’m looking forward to future episodes and mind you don’t get sunburn if you do them in the nude 🤣 Be well 🌹
Perhaps you could do a short tutorial on how to knit Magnus. I’ve made one, but had difficulty when it came to the section where the legs were joined. The bind off was confusing to me in that area.
Since the knitted birds book is out of print, would it be possible to post the bird pattern in your webshop? Would that violate the publisher's copyright?
Good news: Our Knitted Birds book has just been reprinted and is available through our publisher, here is the link to purchase: www.trafalgarbooks.com/product/fiknpb.html
Your wonderful "Favorite Designs" book was a gift I bought for myself when I first found your channel. I was wondering where Freija might be? (the original moose catcher). :)
Hello Arne and Carlos. Greetings from Yakima, Washington. I happened to see one of your podcasts a few days ago and enjoyed watching you both so very much. I have been crocheting for years but I am now inspired to take up knitting as I would like to make some Christmas balls. However, I have always found it hard to follow patterns. For the most part, I learn by watching - which has proven to be somewhat difficult as I am left-handed and most tutorials are done by right-handed instructors. Any suggestions on the best way to start this project? Thank you. Shannon Wilson
If you are knitting for the first time why not just teach yourself to knit right handed.It is a new skill and you won't have to relearn the muscle memory.Id try knitting something flat before you try in the round like balls etc.Knitting is more two handed than crochet so it might not be that hard.Id prolly do English throwing vs Continental if you are learning with your non dominant hand.Its just sticks and string give it a try!😁🇨🇦
This didn't show us where to shape and increase/reduce the stitches for the raglan shape on the arms and main sweater piece. So I'm still in the dark with how to work out my own raglan sweater for my size.
I just loooove Magnus the little mouse! But guess what, my Magnus brought home a sweet white girlfriend with a green mini skirt like Hippy is wearing in your Garden Book. We decided to call her Magnolia
I love Magnus! Where is the pattern? I looked on Amazon but couldn’t find anything that said at Magness in it… I would love to order from you but I can’t do it online - so sad. Is there a way to order things from you by snail mail?
Oh dear! Magnus should not drink beer. I watch a RUclipsr who had a mouse problem in one of her outbuildings. Based on recommendations from some of her viewers, she placed saucers of beer in the building to “get rid of” the mice and it worked. It worked because beer causes gas and mice cannot pass gas and so they bloat and die 🙀No nude episodes😹

Going back and rewatching this as a guide for my first kid’s sweater. Wish me luck!
You have opened the world to me on so many levels. I love you guys and all you have to share, all of it. God bless you.
😊
You always make me smile. You are such a gift in so many ways! Thank you.
It's nice to see you again and that it's not roasting and smokey there!🇨🇦😁❤️

Raglan is for me the most comfort type to wear. Long time ago I have had a coat with raglan. It was the best, because you can wear thicker or thinner pullovers and it is always comfort to wear. 😀
Welcome back!! Moose! Moose! Wish I had ur talent for designing my own sweaters. Ur both soooo talented. C u both Wednesday episode. 🦌🦌👋👋❤❤

Good to see you!
I made a Valentine's Day sweater for my Magnus with the heart pattern from your Christmas balls! He loves it.
Big mouse is so cute.
I'm still rewatching old episodes while I crochet a blanket for winter but I'm sure my productivity will improve once I have some new sit and knit time to enjoy with you two. Best wishes from Scotland.
Thank you for the tip about a sleeve being half the number of stitches of the body. So useful! I loved this tutorial, thank you 🙏
Will be great if you make video for sweater calculations. Information how to choose the ease and everything necessary to finish it. How to make the neck line for example.....everything from "a" to "z".
Thanks a million. I really appreciate the tips about adding stitches. Makes complete sense - especially for cable patterns - but I just never thought about it properly before. I love how freeing your approach is :-)
Agreed. Makes so much sense, could even be reverse engineered to work flat if you need to
Listing to you guys always make me so clam and happy. I LOOOOOVE watching your videos. Can't wait for the Wednesday videos!!
I love how Arne ounts his stitches so fast. I love the big Magnus and the tutorial for doing a sweater. Amazing.
Good watching you, friends! Missed you. Thank you for the sweater info.

Agreed 100% that bottom up is easier and better.
I much prefer bottom up too - top down seems to take forever and it's hard to keep motivated.
I've heard bottom up is easier cus near the end you decrease as opposed to increase. If you increase when you're tired it can be hard to stay motivated. So you want the later stages of a project to become easier not harder.

@@Stettafire Yes, that's certainly my experience. Especially when there is what seems like a vast expanse of stocking stitch to get through!
Yay, a sweater for Magnus. Great video

Will have to knit a magnus 😍 so adorable , nice to see you guys again!

Nice to see you both again. You are looking so well and you’re garden is lovely. Thank you for the tips. Xx 🥰
Hi Carlos and Arne! So interesting the explanation!
Lovely to hear Freya barking
Love Magnus and his sweater design directions. Thanks so much
You inspired me to make toys and to get your book❤️😁
Once again a brilliant episode, I'm learning so much from you both. Take care 💙
Love your filming location choice.
Looking forward to seeing Magnus’s sweater..he’s such a Sweetie
Great tips on sizing ..take care 🇨🇦 ❤️
Thank you so much this was great xx
I suppose you can add some stitches in the middle for a steek and make a cardigan, that would be so cute. Thanks for a lovely podcast. 😊
So nice to see you both. Y'all make my Sunday. 😁
Thanks for the tips!
PS... I have that book. Have I made anything yet, hmmmm nope 😀 but it is on my list
Good seeing you again. And I see you are not behind a table and are wearing jeans!

Carlos, please do a hair styling video. I think we all want to see that!
Maybe one day!
I will be looking to purchase your latest book. Best wishes from Canada.
Thank you Gisele!

When is Sot and Knit for a Bit coming back??💕
We are back!
Happy Sunday guys.I love that mouse..I just can't knit fast enough, and sew and crochet..I might have to start Magnus anyway..👍🤗❣🐭
I’m surprised you don’t have a pattern for a moose yet! You could call it Moose Moose. Hmmm, maybe a stockier horse with horns?
We might have to do one!
You can always make a cardigan with buttons.
Mind in the getter 🤣🤣

Hello. Hope you are well. See you doon.
Wait, what? That was a very different 15 minutes than what we grew accustomed to over lockdown! But it was fun regardless
Good to hear!
What measurement would you use if your belly was bigger than your chest? I know you don't have that problem.

Hi Arne and Carlos what is a DK yarn. What does DK stand for?
DK stands for double knitting and is a yarn weight for needle 3.0 -4.0mm and for a gauge of 22 stitches per 10 cm.

Oh was not Freya!!!!!!
are you going to continue doing podcasts?
I believe they will resume in the autumn.
We just released the first one!
