I agree 100% with everything you said. Norwegian purling saved my fingers and kept me knitting. Great video!

Yes! Thank you!

Oh. My. Word. What a difference your video has made! I’m a crocheter who is trying to teach myself to knit. I was practicing Russian style, but was still struggling to achieve a smooth hand movement. Norwegian is so much easier! I’m still very rusty and loose, but I believe I’ll get it. Thank you so much!

Yay!!! 🎉 Your tension will 💯 improve with practice! So no worries there. When I started this style I practiced on a blanket until I got comfortable and then I was knitting everything with confidence! You will too! Congrats! It’s a fun method 💖

I’m glad you uploaded this video again. I was using it to teach myself to knit.

I'm so glad! 🥳🥳

Game Changer!!!! I'm an English style knitter, in fact, more lever style than anything as I can get a good speed with that. I have never been able get on with continental knitting and I've tried numerous times. I could just about manage the knit stitch although it was more like this picking style but the purl stitch and bringing the yarn in front was beyond me. I envy people who can do the continental style. However, this I have managed to grasp in just a few rows, even the purl stitch. You must have a magic touch when it comes to teaching. I shall practice it a bit more but I already feel confident enough to give it a go in my next project. I'm still a bit fingers and thumbs as it's only been an hour but already I'm really liking this style. I know it will take a while to master it but it's a learning curve I'm enjoying. Thank you, so so much, for sharing this.

Thank you so much for commenting!! It’s wonderful to hear the tutorials are helpful ❤️ i found it takes a little practice to get the tension down but after that you’re golden! I practiced knitting a stockinette blanket to get my tension and that helps immensely! Good luck!! 💖

I found combination style for continental was the game changer for me, allows you to pick your purls and knits, you just knit through the back loop! Yarn is automatically on the front side for purls and backs for knits!

When you do a purl make sure on the last step the needle is on the right side of the yarn to your finger . If it on the left side it will make a yarn over . Ask me how I know. Lol . folks once u get the hang of the way she is knitting you will love it . I’m self taught and this is how I knit.

Comme nous les Suisses!!! 3x + rapide que les Français et anglais ! Cool

I knit like that (but i didn't know it was a real technic... 😅)

Does the purl stitch get stretched out? It seems like a lot of slack is needed. I'd like to use it for ribbing bc switching the yarn to the front every other stitch really slows me down

At first when you’re learning I found that you need a little more slack but once you get the hang of it then no.

If you visit my Instagram page I have a small brown ribbed infinity scarf that is done with ribbing! Instagram.com/kimcreatesca

I am old school Russian knitter (learned at grandmothers side 60 years ago). I am trying to do brioche , and have a friend who is continental knitter trying as well and the technique does not work past the first 2 rows. Do we have to learn a whole different style to make an item from brioche

I actually haven’t done a lot of brioche so I couldn’t tell you.

If you want to learn to broiche knit: watch Arne & Carlos videos on broiche knitting. Norwegian style of knitting makes it easier to broiche knit.
