Can’t wait for the daily Christmas advent knit along! For anyone who isn’t sure about trying double pointed needles - just give it a go. That’s what I did and I was surprised how easy it was, much better than magic loop in my opinion. Trust me, you won’t even notice anymore once you’re totally addicted to knitting these Christmas balls 😂
Thanks for your words of encouragement to all! We are definitely pinning your comment!
Agreed! And if you're struggling, maybe consider trying a different type of dpns. I started out with really slippery metal needles and they kept slipping out of my stitches. Then I switched to bamboo and have never looked back. The key is to experiment till you find the tool(s) that work for you.
I haven't used dpns for a while so I'm still struggling. Lol. Why is it when you learn something new you have to rediscover the old skills
100% agree! Dpns are the way to go for knitting in the round! And it’s not that hard, you’re really only using two needles at a time. The other 3 needles are just holding stitches as you work your way around. And I agree w sparkle that bamboo or wooden dpns are great, especially for beginners!
I am 60. I am knitting since 50 years and I use dpns since my first pair of socks with 11 years.
Don't ask, how they looked like. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 So I rubbed them and knitted it a second time. It worked well and since this pair I love knitting socks. Everyone in my family loves selfknitted socks.
I love how Carlos always says that it is a 30-minute program, and then sometime in the program, usually around 45 minutes to an hour, he will remark that they have been talking for a little more than 30 minutes. It makes me chuckle every time. Thank you for spending "30 minutes" with us I look forward to it each week!
Haha, just my thoughts! Best spent 30 minutes for sure. ;))
Beagles, Patti "Lapel", 'ARNE! SOMEONE'S AT THE DOOR!", You two are hysterical, and talented and an absolute delight to watch. Thank you!
ditto, me too. someone else commented on Arne's voice going up an octave.. cracks me up! love this
@@theresacortez1374 They are so enjoyable to watch! They are on my " Gifts that I'm thankful for this year" list. Happy Thanksgiving!
@@madelinewhick7467 very kind of you to reply, I totally feel the same way, and since I'm a recent fan, have watched many of their past videos. blessings to you and yours
A friend of mine grew up in northern Wisconsin or Minnesota and he said he was 12 years old before he realized most people didn't need to know Norwegian to go to the hardware store...
Same in southwest Wisconsin
I love how Patty LaBelle sings the ABC’s on Sesame Street with so much love, warmth and joy!
Her version is compelling to sing along and exercise those lungs!
I’m sure her performances do a lot of people good! Viva Patty LaBelle!
😊
I cannot stop laughing with the story of Arne's little grandfather
Thank you!
I felt like we were sitting in a Parisian cafe. The collage in the background and the cafe table with the patterned table cloth. As always, your episode is a gift.
This is a most enjoyable episode! And Carlos, you blend in perfectly with the decoupage screen behind you so that it looks like you are part of the screen come to life! The front edge of your sweater runs right up into the screen. It is an interesting illusion. I can't stop watching.
Little or short!!! It’s fascinating that Arne speaks Norwegian to Carlos and Carlos speaks Swedish to Arne and you understand each other. 👋
I hide Christmas gifts so well that not even I can find them again. The gifts are usually discovered several months later 🤣
I'm very bad at doing this and so was my Mother. I found a complete stack of Christmas gifts my mother hid back somewhere between 2002 & 2010 when I was cleaning out the house after she passed away in 2010. They were tucked in back of the 2nd bedroom closet that wasn't used at all. So yeah I stopped hiding Christmas (or any) presents any more.
I've done that!
Haha! That has happened to me.😆
I started making an excel spreadsheet thinking it would help. Maybe I need to add a column “location” b/c I’ve already lost one.
Melanie MR if only I was so organised
You are so lovely to each other. I love all the stories, laughing together, and learn new things. Your creative minds are amazing too! Can't wait to see you everyday in December!!
Catching up on your back catalogue. Thanks for the laughs on a very cold Sunday morning 👍❤🤣
Stay warm!
Elizabeth Zimmermann learned the Continental way of knitting from her Swiss governess. Before that, she knitted in the "English" way.
Thank you!
thanks for mentioning her full name.. I was going to look her up too. If these guys say she was good, then she must've been really something! love it!
Arne’s impression of Carlos in his underwear hiding from DHL made me laugh so much! I really enjoy the genealogy stories as well :)
I look forward each week to these sessions more than any other on UA-cam. You are both so informative and good humored and obviously respect one another a great deal. The time goes by so fast.
I had a horrible day at work and decided I needed a little Arne & Carlos before calling it a night. Thank you guys for making me laugh so much with all the teasing. Love hearing about Arnie’s little great-grandfather and Arne mimicking how Carlos sounds when he can’t open the door because he doesn’t have pants on. 😃 Thanks for lifting my spirits!
What an amazing background. Stunning and beautiful and inspiring
You gentlemen are such a delight...information, history, hilarity...thank you!!
LOVE your screen in the background. You both had me laughing so hard when you were talking about Arne's great grandfather being short. Thank you for the giggles.
When I was 18 (1976), I put money down on A blue metallic beetle. There was a mix up and I never got the message that my bank loan was approved. I didn't get my beetle. I still long for one. When I saw your mug and bag with the beetle and tree, I immediately ordered them. I will finally have my beetle! In one of you videos, please talk about your beetle.
I recently ordered coffee that was highlighted in the tv show, New Scandinavian Cooking. It is amazing. I am saving the last of it to drink in my Arne & Carlos beetle mug. Love your videos. Thank you! You make staying mostly quarantined much easier.
I almost forgot - fika!
The coffee is called Joh. Johannson Kaffe and in the US, it is called Evergood
Thank you for providing me with an interesting and fun afternoon. I love hearing about Arnie's ancestors, the progress on your Norwegian costumes, your porridge-gate and the best of all, taking part in your laughter. Looking forward to your daily podcasts.
Back in the 90's my college philosophy professor introduced me to EZ. It truly changed my life.
My daughter agrees the screen looks almost like a Klimt painting.
Hello you two , Simply 💖💖💖💖💖💖your back ground👏👏👏👏👏👏 plus all that ya'll share Thank you very much🙏🙏🙏🙏
So fun laughing with you two this morning!
For ppl who are new to using DPN's- I remember being afraid my work would fall off the needles. Use wooden needles. The stitches stick to them more than with metal needles. Also, because there will be so few stitches on each needle, you can keep the stitches in the center of each needle you're not vworking on, & they won't fall off. It's easier than it looks. Give it a try!
😀
There are also square metal DPN’s with texture on them. They are awesome.
Dear Arne and Carlos, I recently went into my bee and butterfly garden and picked whatever was standing to make a bouquet of the seedheads. I was amazed at the colours of the plants when I brought them in the house. The greys are pink, silver, rust and yellow. You are going to have great fun with this project.
Your hair Arne! It is really beautiful! You two are so gorgeous ❤️
Gosh this episode had me cracking up!! Arne’s little grandfather and Carlos being in his longjohns 😂
😃
I use Addi Flexi Flips - a cross between DPNs and circular needles. I plan to make a Christmas ball for my week old granddaughter- and then one new one every year for her.
Beautiful pressed flowers! Thank you for another sit and knit for a bit, made me laugh as usual!!
Oooo! This week's pressed-flower block is one of my favorites!! Looking forward to the ball stories. Thanks for visiting with us every Wednesday! It's like having fun neighbors from Norway.
Thank you for visiting!
so fun to have you visit my life. you are my favorite neighbors
Welcome over!
I had my daughter look at your podcast and she agrees that the screen is awesome. You 2 have such lovely taste. I wish I could visit you both. You are wonderful.
I love it too. Someday I want to make one.
Patti LaBelle not only sings - she can cook! Her macaroni and cheese is the he best ever.
I have a terrible memory for historical stories (and I didn't even have Covid like Carlos), but I know in Europe there was a thing called phyloxera that devastated vineyards all over the continent, and because of that it was difficult to impossible to get wine for quite a while, and that is when absinthe became wildly popular. I have a feeling that artists and people with romantic tendencies would also have enjoyed the aesthetic ritual of absinthe, with the drink being poured and then the water dripped over a sugar cube above the glass, making the drink turn cloudy. Added to that were the fanciful stories of drug-like effects, visions, etc., and the whole experience of drinking absinthe became almost mystical. All of that because people couldn't get their hands on a glass of wine!
I mentioned before I don't usually go for merch, but I think you got me with the new mug. Good job!
You're correct and it was a Texas grape stock that saved the European wine industry. They were able to graft European stock onto the hardy Texas wild grape stock and it worked!
And that is why Absinthe became illegal. Lol. I also love the new mug.
@@candynkeith As soon as it became legal to buy some in the U.S. (I think around 2005, plus or minus), I bought a bottle and did the whole thing with the sugar cube, etc. I can't confirm the legends about visions because it wasn't an enjoyable drinking experience! I remember thinking people must have been pretty desperate to latch onto absinthe as their drink of choice. Goes to show there's something for everyone.
The two of you are too funny and a delight to watch!!!
Thank you Oriana!
The most hilarious ‘Sit and knit for a bit’ EVER!!! 😂
i could go for "sit and knit for a week" hahaha
Love the screen. It is lovely to watch two people who get on so well
Thank you!
Great episode! I love the genealogy and the stories. The new mug is amazing. I love the humor and the interactions between you, I feel like we have really gotten to know you since you started doing the daily COVID episodes. The unedited episodes are my favorites because your personalities really come through and we see the real Arne and Carlos. Before this the edited episodes were (are) more like your landscaper Rob, you mow in your programmed pattern and make perfectly straight rows. In these episodes you don't just give us the information you mean to, you veer off the path and give us you. I really like that so much. I like you guys even more now. Hugs from your frazzled friend in Maryland moving to Virginia in less than 2 weeks (YIKES!). Downsizing from a large 4 bedroom home with a basement to a 3 bedroom condo that is TINY and has very little wall space for furniture and not enough room to put things away from the wall. My kitchen, dining, living area is smaller than my kitchen or about the same size as my kitchen here. I'm having a hard time getting rid of my husband's things, but a lot of it is going to one of my grandsons so that makes me happy. I'm having my surgery on December 17, just 2 weeks (or a bit less) after moving. I'm hoping this surgery makes me feel better, the pacemaker can't work properly right now so it didn't help. So much in such a short time! The Christmas balls are keeping me sane and giving me some peaceful moments in the craziness that is my life. Thank you for releasing them early for us.
Good luck with your move and your surgery Kathy!
@@ARNECARLOS Thank you!
Another delightful episode. You guys really make my day, I cracked up a few times. I look forward to seeing your new vests with the Patty Lapels! I'm so happy to hear that double pointed needles don't bite! I do have a tip for beginners: use shorter bamboo needles, like 5 inch long needles. They are less overwhelming, and the bamboo makes it harder for the yarn to slip. Can't wait!!!
In English, we do actually say “When I was little, I used to...” meaning when we were young. So Arne was using the word correctly there. Yet it is an interesting juxtaposition of words (young and little) which has subtle differences in meaning depending on the context. 😂💕
😂
Love the laughter! So infectious! I’m laughing with you both.
"He's not VERY tiny. He is normal tiny" 🤣🤣🤣
😂
Super excited about the daily Sit and Knit episodes! And the advent calendars!!!!! Jazzed!
So are we!
Arne looks at Carlos like he’s very confused “that’s a very strange Question “ ....and I’m dying laughing 🤣🤣🤣
Although I'm from Pittsburgh, I now call Wisconsin home. What fun to see your magazine about Elizabeth Zimmermann.
The way Carlos is sitting makes it look like his right arm is part of the screen behind him. 😀
light and shadow effects, very cool, eh? I noticed it also!
I laughed and laughed so much, Arne is naughty, but we enjoy it everytime!!!I love you guys!!!!
Really loved this podcast. It's like having coffee with good friends. Thank you so much for these.
So... after so much discussion and laughter about heights (or the lack thereof)....just how tall are you guys?
I am with Carlos I hate waiting for surprises I always search for presents too. Awesome background! I love all those vintage cut outs! Fantastic show as usual
Ahhh I'm recalling the berry cordial in Anne of Green Gables. . . . 🍷🍷🍷
😀
I got my granddaughter a cookbook that had recipes from different children's stories. It had that recipe in it. But a much "tamer" version for the younger set. I actually re-read that book a few years ago. I still enjoy it.
that's so cute ! sounds about right just joking...LOL!
Amazing!!! The Arne scrapbook is incredible cute! 😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩
Thank you!
Great episode - a wonderful oasis in a hectic day! My great-great grandfather was also a coachman - in the Yukon, during the Gold Rush. Sadly he didn't find any gold and wound up settling down on a farm in northern Alberta. I loved hearing your strategies for hiding Christmas gifts from each other - and for snooping around the house (or email trash can) to find some clues! You've made me a whole lot more excited about Christmas today - thanks so much. Off to go stick a certain Christmas mug into my Teespring cart!
You are welcome!
You guys were in rare form today! I could not stop laughing. Thanks for that💕 I love to hear your family stories, too.
So many laugh out loud moments today! “Arne, Arne, there is someone at the door”...Patti “Lapel”..... another great visit with you two. They make a gloomy Wednesday much brighter here on the very wet west coast of Canada! ❤️🧶👍🏻
Sit and knit for a week would be a wonderful idea ;-) Thank you for this episode!
You are welcome!
Arne and Carlos thank you for giving me a wonderful memory of my father. At Christmas my mother would hide our gifts from my father too otherwise he would occasionally get so excited he would give us a gift early. I’m smiling brightly at the memory. Thank you both. Please pet Freya and Helmer for us. Continued healing to you both
We will and thank you!
You guys are hysterical! BTW, I love it when you talk about Freymer! They are two special dogs, for two special guys!
🐩
A&C please tell us about the wall behind you! I was so intrigued with all the cut outs, I kept loosing track of your conversation. I have my pattern downloaded and yarn ready to go; I will be knitting with the magic loop. On a side note, I am really enjoying the Reine Hat pattern. Several family members will be getting these hats for Christmas.
Another lovely morning with coffee and Arne and Carlos. Of everything available for viewing I find your channel the best. Your both a hoot. Hugs
Thank you Gail!
Giggling along with you. I have “normal tiny” relatives in my family history, too!
We can crochet the balls!!!!!!!????? This opens a whole new world!!!! Thank you!!
You are welcome!
so many coffee spit moments - i laughed so hard i think i'm 5 years younger and healthier - thank you both
a new porridge to try - Hot Peanut Cereal from Recipes for a Small Planet by Ellen Buchman Ewald ( you can leave out the raisins ;-} )
Thank you!
Looking forward to your daily Advent calendar! I have my patterns printed and am so ready to start.
Between covid brain and senior moments and just plain LIFE, it's a wonder any of us can function. Carry on, Carlos, you are doing great!
I'm shocked that's why I'm laughing. Oh I'll be using that one in the near future!
Lol
Whatever was in that blueberry compote, I’ll have some of that. These podcasts just keep getting better and better. A tonic during this awful time especiallyhere in the north of England at present.
What a fun SK4B, Arne immitation of Carlos with a high pitch voice was hilarious. Happy Holidays and be safe
You too!
Things were so different in the old days. My brother got his first car when he was 13 years old. I can't remember what the model was, but I remember (and I was six) driving around on our farm in his car. We owned a huge amount of property, and he would be able to take us out for these hour-long rides! We were smokers at the age of 13, but we all stopped more than 20 years ago, thank goodness! Love listening to your stories about your grandparents.
Sitting watchig you two, I am sewing in yarn ends on a blanket I made for xmas. This year I will give away mostly handmade things... Wool ordered online, some in summer already,... So no shopping sprees here... High risk patient in highly infected city...
Same here. Working on some even now - from Arne & Carlos's Christmas Balls book.
@@cydnicaldwell1337 when threads were sewn in yesterday, I, too, started another xmas ball/julekuler... No. 4, highly addictive, as carlos rightly says
Love Arne’s new tote with the car. My first car was a ‘68 or ‘69 VW Bug and I loved it. I wish I still had it...so fun to drive and so many great memories.
They are very nice to drive.
Never apologize for going over broadcasting time...I wish your episodes were x10 longer
Love love love your festive beetle holiday swag !
I have seen new small diameter 11”/27cm circulars...I will try an “A&C Christmas Ball” on these ...if it doesn’t work out...I will use DPNs as suggested

Thank you!
Your background wall is amazing, thanks for sharing your family’s history 👍❤️😊
I knew that you meant double-breasted😉. I'm American and only speak one language and I mix words up like that all the time, lol
What I love the most about these sit and knit podcasts is that we’re getting to see more of the “Arne and Carlos” as you are outside of the business/designer aspect. You’re more relatable, it’s like sitting and watching your brother and brother in law get on and have fun together. Love this new platform
You guys are so sweet. Have a blessed day.
Oh my goodness you two are so funny. I watch all your episodes while knitting, love you so much
🙂😀
Love the pantomime for magic loop 😂🤣😂
Hi from Barberton Ohio. Absolutely Love you two! You make me happy and laugh. God bless and good health.
Another very enjoyable hour spent with you both. Thank you, very much for sharing a bit of your life!
You are welcome, thank you for watching!
Arne, the sweater you are making from “scraps” is wonderful. Really fantastic!! Looking forward to the daily podcasts in December. We are sequestered again in WA, USA. Can’t visit other homes, so these podcasts from you will be an extra special gift. Have a beautiful holiday, and thanks again for sharing with us.
You as well!
Hello Arne and Carlos
I learn with you're Videos english. I understand Carlos better . I love you boy's.
Another great week. Love hearing you all giggle!!!
😂
So good to see you both in such fine fettle today! Don’t worry about your bloopers - we are all well practiced in translating typoese in texts now, so understanding Arnecarlosgian is easy and enjoyable!
A pleasure to knit and watch this episode last night. I love it when you two laugh together.
Glad you liked it!
Parsley used to come up through the snow in my mother's garden. Nice feathery greenery, a garnish on dishes.
Love the pressed flowers. So artistic and can hardly wait to see how you use them for designs. Good idea.
Thank you!
It is always so entertaining to watch you both! You are so funny! Thank you for sharing!
Great show guys as usual. Love the beet,etc cup a day bag. My first new car was a light blue vw bug I loved that car it was the best.
What a beautiful background! As always a lovely chat with you. Have a lovely week.
You as well!
You are both so much fun to spend time. Thank you for sharing.
so looking forward to your daily Advent knit along!!! I have never done color work but your balls inspire me to learn. I love today's back drop. Your stories are wonderful to listen to.
Gosh, My sister always used to find our presents well before Christmas and I used to cover my ears and go LALALA, because I wanted the surprise! 😂
I absolutely love how you just do not let yourselves be bothered by the occasional grammar mistakes you make, or when you can't find a word at the moment. Talk away, never stop -- having fun is so much more important than perfection! (And we know that you do not eat dogs anyway! ;-D )
You two are such a lot of fun and I am looking forward to your daily videos a real tonic at this difficult time.
Thank you!
This was great again. And what a beautful background.
Missed this the first time around and what a joy! Many comments including that in America the farm kids also drive the tractors at 12 or so. In farm areas you can still get stuck behind a slow tractor going from one field to another.
Also the “bed head” comparison. My husband takes great pride in his totally tangled bed head! 😂😂😂
That is the best hair do!
I loved thinking about how our paths may have crossed in years past since I have great grandparents from both Sweden and Norway. 😅
Thank you so much for sharing parts of your lives and experiences with us. Looking forward to the daily balls!
Thank you!
The best dressed guys on you tube, seriously.
😊❤️
Gorgeous new mug and bag. Your genealogy segments are so entertaining and fascinating. The flower pressing is inspirational too. Lots of love. xx
Thank you!
