Modern Daily Knitting - Field Guide No. 23: Glow

MDK Field Guide No. 23: Glow, featuring four designs that are full of colour, style, and joy.

Welcome to a world of exuberant colour and pattern, from the brilliant, beloved designers Arne and Carlos.

This is knitting at its most joyful. Knitters love the way Arne and Carlos tap into Norwegian knitting traditions, but with a modern sensibility.

Known by knitters the world over, Arne and Carlos are particularly beloved for their weekly video podcast, Sit and Knit for a Bit, in which they welcome knitters into their home in Norway for a warmhearted, wide-ranging chat session.

The conversation covers a lot: from knitting and crafting to design and folklore, with dashes of laughter and whimsy throughout. With their impressive portfolio of collaborations with influential fashion houses, Arne and Carlos’ designs for hand knitters are a breath of crisp, clear air.

This is knitting for the cozy days of winter—straight from the beautiful knitting traditions of Norway.

• Setesdal Hat. Get your colourwork going with this simple design—it’s a glorious way to try out Arne and Carlos’s colour sense and easy stitch patterns.
• Valdres Pullover. A completely modern take on the famous Norwegian ski sweater, this is the sort of treasure to knit and love forever. 
• Rosy Mittens. The classic Norwegian mitten, with modern colour added for fun. These are knitted in two colours, the embroidery adds the details.
• Kos Neckwarmer. Arne and Carlos are constantly cooking up neckwarmers that are all about whimsy and good cheer. This one is stacked with hearts and zigzags and colourful fun. It also happens to be an incredible warming layer.

All of the samples in Field Guide No. 23 were knitted with Norwegian Wool, the yarn that Arne and Carlos designed for Rowan.
