    Your toilet paper stories are killing me! I have a boss who's a real tightwad. When the TP was almost empty, I asked if I should go to the store, and he said no because wasn't going to buy it anymore. When I asked why, he said, "Because you don't deserve it!" I just about died laughing! I started bringing my own and wouldn't share with him, so he had to go home to go to the bathroom! 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

    Love listening to you both. When I was very young I too started collecting dolls wearing traditional dress of a country. My mom kept them in her loft until she moved house about 21 years ago, so they went in our loft. That is where they stayed until we moved 11 years ago. Had to throw them all away as they had rotted. Such a shame and good memories.

    Yes! I'm turning 75 years old and we had an outhouse on the farm in Arkansas. There were stacks of newspapers and magazines in the outhouse! We also had to use pump water and I still remember the taste of it. Then they did something in the kitchen and we had a pump in the sink to bring up the water. That was high class when you didn't have to go to the well. Thanks for the memories.

    My 95 year old great grandfather, lived on a farm in the middle of Finland in the early 1970s. No running water, just a pump and well and a five seater outhouse with a box of neatly cut up newspapers. He did not allow alcohol in his house, so while on a visit to see him, my parents, aunts and uncles, would sneak into the outhouse to party, after he went to sleep. I have photos of them merrily poised on the seats, drinking beer.
    On that note, check out “Schitt’s Creek” which one a ton of Emmy awards. It is a Canadian show, that was filmed near my home. It is hilarious and the clothes are mind boggling.
    Last thing: do you brush your dogs’ teeth? After spending thousands of dollars having my dog Pippin’s cleaned and many removed, I now brush all three dogs teeth. Daisy and Freya have beautiful teeth, and fifteen year old Pippin has much fresher breath. Every evening, I line up the toothbrushes and away we go. I am living the dream (Covid dream anyways). Cheers🇨🇦🇫🇮

Growing up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan we went to our neighbors cottage almost every Sunday and for weeks in the summer. They had double seated outhouse.

    I get it Arne...I was just given at least 50 knitting pattern books from my Cousin dated between 1930 and 1960...dont know if I will ever knit any of them but love looking at them. She also sent me my Grandmother's costume jewellery from the 50's that she would wear to Bingo...our family lived with my Grandparents so this brought back many memories of my Grandmother. I bought a shadow box and have her jewellery displayed with a picture of her when she was 17 yrs old and my Grandparents 50th wedding anniversary...great memories of my Grandparents to have. My 86 yr old mother lives with us now so nice to have this for her as well. Unfortunately, she doesn't remember much of the past these days. Glad to see you back, you were missed! , Sharon.

I am so with you two and cannot wait until we (in the US) can travel again and cannot wait to see friends and family. If finds yourselves here in the States, specifically on the East Coast, do consider coming to North Carolina. We have beautiful mountains and beautiful beaches. I happened to catch Petra and Natasha on the channel. While it started precariously, it sounds like a great time. One of these days, I hope to attend one of your cruises or events, especially along the Norwegian coast. A hundred years ago, fourth grade maybe, I did a report on Norway and Iceland. Both of these countries remain on my travel bucket list. Add me to keep Helmer team; Freia will miss him too much. Cheers to you both.

I have always found following tutorials difficult as I am left-handed. But quite accidentally I has my tablet open opposite a mirror AND I could see how to follow a tutorial.

There were unfinished knit and crochet projects. I finished an afghan for her and gave it back to the daughter, who was not expecting it. It made me feel so good to do that and the daughter (who didn't knit or crochet) loved it. So she has an afghan from her Mom.

    My last knitting adventure was to meet you in St Thomas, Ontario hosted by the Red Mitten. I was on the bus that was late to arrive because of the storm. The adventure continued when the bus broke down and we had to be rescued by Rescue 401, and another bus was sent to get us home. Truly and Arne and Carlos Knitting Adventure. You two were so kind and wonderful I'd do it all over again. Not sure I'd bring good luck if I ventured on one of your cruised though. ❤️🇨🇦❤️

    I missed you guys over Easter, so happy you are back. I heard you mention on linked podcast that you plan to phase out the tutorials! What the heck?!?!?! Please NO! I have been a mediocre knitter for 20 years. You have inspired me to knit out of my comfort zone and I am thrilled. I have always hated everything I thought crochet was - but I fell in love with your flowered placemat. Now I am crocheting, almost finished with my first of 4. Never in my wildest dreams did I think would have the desire to crochet! So please don't drop the tutorials. You guys are so creative and have so much to share. Heck, I learned much just from watching you iron! Thank you, Susan - PS. I don't think you could ever give Helmer back, he is family!

    Loved the whole episode (as usual!) - so many interesting topics, but I especially enjoyed hearing about your photo shoot - I shared that segment with my daughter, who is a professional photographer based in Brooklyn. She has also - not always by design! - been a [simultaneous] stylist, art director, producer and even model, though she prefers having a team for all that. And of course not having to stay six feet from everyone! The Rowan books are always so beautiful - can't wait to see you two in your vintage sweaters - and boots!

    If you see this comment - Great video lads. 1. Come to Scotland and we'll show you around! 2. Arne, I completely sympathise with you collecting things. I have a great 'picnic case' story to go with yours. 3. Queen Maud is Queen Elizabeth's great auntie - I think. 4. Your pompoms are like Star Trek - 'The Trouble With Trebbles'. 5. Love the portraits. 6. You've inspired me to start crocheting again after 25+ years. I'm learning from the start. Happy sailing.

    Arne and I are kindred spirits. If I think I can find a use for it, I'm keeping it. :-) Carlos, I too am OVER Covid; however, Covid is the reason I started searching for UA-cam crafters to connect with other creative people, even if the connection is only "virtual." That is how (and why) I found you guys, and I am grateful. I love your videos and I love the relationship the two of you share. Thanks for sharing your lives with us. If you ever come back to the States, you have a standing invitation for dinner in Denver.

    Crying with laughter now with Arne and the glossy magazines. So very funny. Fabulous being back guys. Both looking great with your hair cuts. Super having your catch up and newspaper toilet paper was used in England in the 1940/50s. I can see the joy in an old picnic basket. I have many and will buy more if I see a lovely one. You cannot have enough picnic baskets so go for it Arne. Just funny about the rubbish inside. 😂 looking forward to the pom-poms tutorial. Catch you soon guys but so great you are back .👏👏

    Hi Arne and Carlos and all :). Glad your back. While I was having a A&C jones over Easter i found the trip videos you did in your VW. EVERYONE if you want a good time, take this trip with A&C! Such fun, absolutely beautiful country. You both are so lovely and sweet. One thing that just comes across to me that is so apparent even if you nearly burn the dog up...is that you genuinely want to make fun, quality, informative content. AND Carlos, you KILL me all the time, with giggles and silliness and inspiration and wanting to go on the next cruise adventure and knowing I have a year to wait... !

    I loved your video, and I am going to check out the pattern you used for placemats now.

    Maybe youtube has taken up your household clearing mantra 'one subscriber added, two to go', because I can't believe your subscriber numbers are going down any other way. Your videos are so charming, where else on youtube do you get culture, history, humour, style and creativity all in the one video? Seriously I am recommending your channel to everyone. Also when Arne said he knew exactly where you were going to hang that beautiful oil painting of the two of you I can't have been the only one who thought it was going to be the outhouse :D?

    Great episode, Gentlemen! Your discussion of royal-family pictures in outhouse toilets reminds me of a story U.S. President Lincoln used to tell about Ethan Allen, an American revolutionary who moved back to England after the war. According to the story, an Englishman hung a picture of George Washington in an outhouse to show disrespect, but Ethan Allen said it was appropriate to have Washington's picture in a British outhouse, because "nothing will make an Englishman s&%t so quick as the sight of General Washington.”

    Hi! Just doing some mending while watching you. Yes, I remember when Nancy Karigen was attacked and the other had problems with her ice gates. My grandparents had a metal picnic hamper, but you used your own plates and cutlery. Don’t know what happened to it. Happy Birthday to your beautiful girl. Please keep Helmer, he is precious and sweet.
    Please take care and stay safe and cuddles for your fur babies for me.

    Helmer doesn't remember he's a guest, he thinks he's home! I'm confident that you will be able to find a good pet sitter; you would feel just awful re-homing him in the future, so why not "put a ring on it" (or a collar at any rate)? It was fun having Freya join you on camera today. Our little Connor had to have all of his teeth removed (he's almost 13), sadly, but he's very happy with his new soft and tasty food! He wants Freya to know she's going to be just fine! Thanks again for a lovely visit!

    Hiya guys!😊❤Love it when Arne makes up reasons (? Excuses?)for another acquisions trip! Really is a master shopper!l bought supplies over the years and created my own stash/"archives" collection and packed them into suitcases to store- all for when l retired and mightn't be able to afford so much! Now whenever l open a case everything leaps out (&, believe me, you cannot make/ get it to fit back in in it's entirety) yet l still seem to need to add a little something to whatever lm using from the case!,Lol! 😂❤But,Carlos is so generous natured and accepting of Arne's nature! Just enjoy your characters and happy natured goodwill to everyone! Stay well, safe, and content ❤XOXO! As always,J.I.M.K Mrs. Brisbane, Australia 🇦🇺 😀 Julia. 😊

    My cousin (an Ösberg) who was first generation born in Canada served with the British Navy in the Second World War. His ship assisted in the escape of the royal family and he shared his room with the crown prince. My cousin was also on two ships that were torpedoed and marooned in the South Pacific, survived both sinking and went back into active service. Quite a generation.
