I always love this style of Podcast. I live alone and don't know anybody close that does knitting so your podcast make me feel like we're a friend who sitting and does the loving hobby together. Thank you
Glad you like them!
I speak little Englich,
I like all you do.I wish to see a quilt finish.I am from Panama
I love watching Arne’s hands as he knits because he knits the way I knit and I know you two love dpn which I also love using as well. However, I would prefer you were sitting on the other side of the table so the camera would show your hands from the correct point of view instead of upside down. I can translate the movements in my head but I imagine that there are people who can’t do that and it would be helpful for them to see Arne’s hands in the same perspective that they would see their own hands. But I find it really helpful to watch him as he keeps pulling and stretching the work a little, even after each needle to keep the tension even.
Thank you for your feedback!
Greg and I love this style of podcast. We have the fire lighting and Greg finds it soothing to hear your voices. Peggy Sue falls asleep.
Thank you Greg and Catherine!
I make a vote YES for sharing GreatGreatGrandmother’s recipe written in her own hand. Remembering those who have passed and “loved us into who we are” as we make new memories is the richness of holidays.
Thank you Jane!
I love the martriarchal lineage of stitches. I hope you will follow your curiosity with Arne's great-grandmother's recipe! That would be fascinating :)
Thank you Jillian
I just looked out the window. It's snowing in Connecticut! How lovely. I've got hot coco and Arne & Carlos on the Tube!
Enjoy your week in the snow!
@marie landry Yes. Not if you knew me. And no Dennis Morgan will Santa bring this year.
Hi from ct!
I tilted my iPad so the video would flip upside down. I could then watch Arne knit as if he were right beside me.
Beautiful mittens.
Thank you Maria!
I have decorated my home, and now I am watching Arne and Carlos ...LIFE IS GOOD!!!
Congratulations on decorating your home!
Fantastic.! Thank you boys xxxx
It so funny to watch this podcast in the future and your wish came true, not travelling for a while. But it is a shame you didn't come to visit us in New Zealand.
Next time!
Thank you for always reminding us to be gentle with ourselves. No stress knitting, no stress Christmas. Love you both. ❤️❤️🎄🧶
Thank you Claire!
Hello Arne and Carlos, I love your podcasts, hands only. You make me feel like I should be living in Norway with all the history you share. So that got be thinking about if I have any Norwegian blood. My birth name is O'Neil. We are decendents of King O'Neill of northern Ireland. The Vikings invaded in that area and mention Norway mostly. So, although greatly thinned out over the centuries I believe I have Viking heritage. Which makes me feel connected. Thank you and please keep sharing your hands only podcasts. So wonderful!
By the way, I live in Michigan USA, born in Ontario Canada via Ireland ancestors about 1790. Wish people would say where they are from in their texts. So wonderful to be connected thru internet around the world. Best in 2020 to both of you.
Love you guys. Eric - camera man - turn the camera 180 degrees. It would be better if Arne's hands are on the bottom of the screen as he knits. Thanks.
Thank you for the feedback!
Merry Christmas to you both! These Mittens are gorgeous!!!
Thank you!
Dont change anything you are all Right like you are naturel mens
You are a good inspiration for a lot of people and me
I just rebegin knitting (15years I dont Knit) I do a lot of research on the web for mittens and wehnelt I saw the norvégien mittens it inspire me so much for me and my 3 littles grandaughter 3-4-5 years old
Thank You thank you for every videos I dont feel alone when I knit :)
Il live in Quebec, Canada hop to see you here
Thank you for watching Chantal and have fun knitting for your grand daughters.
Lefties appreciate the mirror image ❤
These two patterns are beautiful. 'Knit to fit' is the best sdvice , I did the small pattern first and realised the rib was too tight, the large were too long for me, but the rib was perfect. I could have played with the needle size but am too impatient! I needed to remove 4cm from the central part of the pattern and the design was just ideal to do that without compromising it. I've learnt lots doing the mittens and the double layer certainly make them toasty warm. On to my next pair, the split 8 leaf rose ones next!
Keep up the good work!
I made the paper hearts as a girl, but I grew up in a part of Germany that is nearly Scandinavian, Schleswig-Holstein :) Near Kiel actually, from where a ferry goes to Oslo.
I loved the porridge episode. But these podcasts where you two knit and chat are the best.
Thank you Karin. We did one last Christmas as well. Here is a link in case you missed it; ua-cam.com/video/fZRdrwqhdxM/v-deo.html
I have to agree with you about the Norwegian Purl. So many ways, and most of them appear to be more Continental. I love the way you Knit and Purl because I find it very easy. I grew up learning the throwing (or English) style so when I am doing colour work it’s really easy to combine Norwegian and English. You guys just make everything so straightforward!
Thank you Lynda!
Here in the UK many people still use the old lb's & ounces but we now teach the metric system(Grams, litres, ml etc) so most of us can use both systems! And to confuse things we also use measuring cups! Which I think originated from America! 😁🤣 Love the mittens.
Thank you Sheridan!
Yes.. I love when you both do cooking. I enjoy that so much.
Thank you Debbie.
I look forward to Carlos Norwegian Purl revisited! I would also like to see Arne Christmas birds. Happy Advent!
Thank you Sheri!
I believe it is one sequin when you have one shiny object. A sequence is the order of something like book one book to book 3. And the frequency is how you dial in your radio. Love you guys so glad to see this video I’m just about to embark on my first mitten journey very inspirational.
Good luck with your mitten´s!
Hi guys!! So grateful for your wonderful videos- it is great company for me while I learn and knit, and the peppercracken (sp) are a FAVORITE cookie!!! You started your You Tube in December of 2015. I will continue loving to watch you even if I don’t win the fabulous prize!! So generous. Hugs- Joan Sheehan Greeley, CO.
Loved it...I have been sitting here listening and knitting on my shawl. Have a great evening
Thank you Lisa.
Hej A&C I have knitted in many years (I have even knitted a skirt in circulair needles) in my 20 th something but actually never knitted mittens. Theese mittens has a very beautiful pattern and colors. I also love the shape .Trevlig advent! 💕💕💕💕🌲🇳🇴🇸🇪
Thank you Velma!
I think Arne is a great teacher and I have never struggled learning from him. Both of you have helped me so much with my knitting which is much appreciated as I am self taught and have no one to turn to for help
Thank you Keyaira!
Love how you make inside and front side mittens at the same time. Easy off and on without getting caught on threads/yarn.
That is true! Thank you Karen
It's fascinating how Arne knits colorwork hearts mittens so fast! I want to knit like Arne one day!
❤️
Happy First Advent to you both. These mittens look so lovely. I might not get to make them for Christmas but I will be giving them ago. Congratulations to you both and your crew on four years on you tube. Your pod cast is brilliant. Thank you for another fantastic Sunday. Take care my dear friends stay warm and stay safe see you next week. Kram xx
Have fun knitting!
What a wonderful video i really enjoyed it i did bit of crocheting and now knitting my dishcloth well i say gnight been a long day have ear infection and hole in my back tooth so not the best have a wonderful week beautiful mittens
We hope you feel better!
Those "round" snowshoes are called "bear paw" snowshoes in America. You will have such fun using these!!! There is nothing like getting into the deep woods with these. And yes, please, I am really interested in the old recipes that Arne has from his great grandmother. I have been making some recipes from 18th century America, and they have been very good (mostly). Often there are poor directions or inadequate measurements and a lot of guesswork is involved, but it is fun to try to figure them out. I think Arne's old recipes would be fun to learn about-- old recipes and crafts are living history.
Thank you for sharing Carolyn!
I am practising my Norwegian knits and purls (finger down n at the back!!) working on my Regia Garden pairfect socks! Thanks for this long n lovely episode Carlos! Arne is a secret poet ...”long walks in moonlight woods wearing my snow shoes looking at tall shadows.....” 😍🤗
Thank you for watching!
Just ran across these videos. I subscribed right away, not only for the knitting patterns and advice but for the watching Arne and Carlos knitting, There is something so soothing watching the knitting. Great job, to both of you!
Thank you for subscribing Gwen and we have several of these on our channel site.
Those paper hearts might make a great “show”
Thank you Mimi!
You guys are amazing as always! Thank you so much for this wonderful podcast. It was wonderful to set up my tree and prepare for Christmas as I listened to you guys. I will watch this again so that I can knit a pair of mittens. I will pay close attention to the gusset. Hope you guys have a blessed Advent! As always hugs to both of you! You rock the knitting world!
Thank you Dorinda!
i love snowshoeing! used to walk to school in them.
😀
So much information, I’m not sure where to start.
First, the mittens are beautiful and your thumb gusset is spectacular, Arne.
Secondly, you have given me my goal for 2020. To convince my husband to learn to knit, finally, so that he can participate in the knit along on the voyage in September. I might need your help but we can only do our best with that.
Lastly, have a wonderful first week of Advent. Many good wishes as you complete this marathon journey and head home to the peace and beauty that awaits.
Thank you Shirley, glad to be an inspiration for your 2020 goal!
Hey guys, I don't see a video on colorwork stripes. I struggle with mine something fierce, and would love to see your tricks and tips on that!
Hi, we have some videos on colourwork and how to have jogless stripes on our channel site.
@@ARNECARLOS Does that cover vertical stripes and tips for keeping tension there?
Lovely mittens. Dreary rainy day here. It is so nice to watch you knit and listen to you voices. Have a happy week!
Thank you, enjoy your week aswell!
Yes please, recipes and old Nordic baking measurements from Arne’s Great Grandmother’s cooking book. Loved having your company as I relaxed watching Arne knitting after returning from an amazing holiday in Kelowna, British Columbia.
Thank you!
Love watching your shows.
Thank you Ilse!
Love watching your shows.Beautiful mittens.
Thank you!
I've been crocheting awhile, Yall inspired me to Knit!💞Thanks for your channel💞💞💞
You are welcome, thank you for watching!
Your story about baking napoleon's reminded me of one of my first baking attempts when I was maybe 10 or so. I wanted to bake cookies and my mom kept flour, sugar, etc in canisters that weren't labelled. I used powdered sugar instead of flour. Total fail! Love your podcasts and all your beautiful designs and your fantastic personalities.
Thank you for sharing 😂
I have been knitting in the English style since I first learned to knit about 20 years ago but have been looking for a more efficient way to knit. I tried the Continental style a few years ago with no luck. Yesterday I discovered one of your videos, and I am now knitting a toque in the Norwegian style, and it is working out! I will need to figure out other stitches beyond k1 and p1, but it will come. Thanks so much!
Hi Myrna, we are glad you have been able to learn our style of knitting. Enjoy!
We make those baskets for Valentine’s Day
Thank you for sharing Amy!
Thank you! Loved hearing what it takes to produce your wonderful videos/podcasts. It takes a village, but you make it look so effortless. As always, I love to watch you knit, Arne. Those mittens are fabulous! Carlos, you always have interesting commentary. I always learn something. And best of all, you two always make me smile. Thanks!
Thank you for watching Ruthie!
Oh Arne, I love your shirt !
Thank you!
I just want to wish you a Merry Christmas. Every year I had knit gifts to give, but this year I had been very busy with a change of career to one of culinary (my new artistic adventure). Since the holiday chaos has eased off I am now getting back into a new knitting inspiration and the double knit mittens idea are making their way into a hat
For some challenging fun, I have made the brim of the hat using two colour brioche, and then decided to add more complication where I am doing double knitting using the basket weave stitch in the two colours (knit stitches will be colour A or B on either side, and then purl in the reverse) .
Thank you so very much for being a wonderful inspiration, and have yourselves a Happy New Year
Happy New Year!
I'll be waiting for your culinary releases. 😋
I'm interested too
and of course your work as always happy👏
Thank you!
Oh, I love you guys. I spent every Sunday with you and your podcast, I knit away while you talk and demonstrate your fabulous Knitting style. I really like the suggestion that Carlos do a tutorial on Norwegian Purling! I hope that you implement that. Thank you for all your wonderful ideas.
Thank you for supporting us!
Thank you for another enjoyable video. You two are so funny. Carlos, I could listen to you all day as well as watching Arne knit. It’s never to early or to late for new Christmas patterns. After Christmas this year, I plan to start knitting Christmas balls and birds from your books. I was too busy this year knitting 8 pairs of socks and making 7 quilts for Christmas. I also plan to knit up the patterns for hats that I purchased on your site for next year as well. I hope your tour went well and you two get some rest before Christmas. Thank you for all that you share and I’m looking forward to next weeks cooking video. Take care of yourselves 🧶🧶🧶🧵🇨🇦
You have been busy knitting.
I love listening to you two chatting :) We have snowshoes and we do exactly as you discussed - we make pathways for our little dog to follow us on wintry walks. It works very well! I really loved the stripes on the cuffs of your mitts. Safe travels back home and enjoy walking in the woods with your new snowshoes! Wishing you both a restful Advent!
Thank you!
So much detail in such a small project....love red.....deb
Thank you!
I love your videos. This one was so relaxing to watch after being with high school students today. The way Arne moves his fingers while they both talk is enlightening. You bring so much joy to the UA-cam community. I do a lot of baking and a big yes to metric! I don’t understand why the US doesn’t use it all the time. And sorry to hear about the US distributors holding your fabrics hostage so we are unable to purchase here in America. Well listen up, I buy yarns from all over the world. So when I locate a place in the U.K. or wherever, I’ll order it. There are online stores so getting access to these fabrics are no problem! I don’t care about the width. There are more important things to worry about like what Arne and Carlos project am I going to start on next? You made my day! Love you both!
Thank you Lucinda!
Well I think you guys always look great. And I would never say otherwise. I am amazed at the amount you do over a weekend. Now I really feel lazy knitting socks and watching all your hard work. Happy holidays ❤
Happy holidays!
Happy 4th Anniversary! Your videos make me very happy. Very.
Thank you Mimi!
Regardless of how you record, your videos are clear and in focus, and most of all, highly enjoyable. Keep the magic going. 😋❤️🧶
p.s. My 2 cents...having been a quilter for 45 years and a quilt shop employee for several years, I can say I had no problems with the fabric in metric vs. yards. It’s just a matter of a few easily made adjustments.
Thank you Kathe!
Tonight, while I listened, I finished a blanket and worked on a scarf.
Congratulations!
Still on your tour...Keep up the great work. Watching your UA-cam and knitting ....Linda by my frozen lake, Canada.
Enjoy your knitting Linda!
I think it's sad that some people are upset about reruns instead of just being thankful that they can watch you again! Of course I m one of those people who watch my favorite things over and over again, so...
I am crocheting a xmas tree while watching your video
That sounds lovely!
Arne - I have worn those seasickness bands on a cruise where we encountered about 6 meter seas and had very good luck. The key is to keep them on while you're in motion.
Thank you for sharing!
Happy 1st advent xx
Thank you Janet!
Love love this awesomeness video and it really is crazy that your fabric designs aren't available in the US. Hoping it works out soon for you and us! Thanks again, from the Pacific northwest in Washington state!
Thank you Dawn!
Also, I vote yes on Grandmother's recipe❤
Thank you Jessica. !
Wow an awesome first Advent. Can't wait for the baking advent. Me too. I adore making Christmas food. I'm sure your cooking will turn out beautiful ! Enjoying this episode with a lovely glass of wine & thrumming Qiviut mittens for my mum for her Christmas gift. Another lovely Sunday thanks Guy's. Your mittens are beautiful Arne......& your cooking disaster is funny.......Laughing.....great stuff !
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is so helpful as I am going to participate in a KAL beginning in Jan, 2020, with a Fair Isle Hat designed by Harriet for the Shetland MRI Scanner fundraiser. I began knitting a year ago and you two have been a big inspiration for me! But I have wanted to start color work and yI am just now working on a Fair Isle mitten before I tackle the hat. as practice. And thank you Arne for demonstrating the knitting. Watching your knitting is really helpful.
Happy Holidays lovely guys. Hugs from Minnesota, Fern
We are glad you find our videos helpful and good luck in the KAL
You all do a great job with the channel. Congratulations I look forward to the cooking episode and hope it will be a live stream soon. Love those❤️
Thank you Velma!
Tomorrow, cooking episode, Swedish buns and all! Looking forward 😉A🌹C🌹❤️❤️
Thank you Velma!
I love you gentlemen so much, watching (or listening while I knit) calms me, and I am going to try to make the Danish treat baskets for my little and Dad, because we have Danish blood❤❤ I also NEED to make the mittens, my daughter will probably live them, she can be a bit picky about what Mommy makes for her though😅
Have fun knitting and thank you for listening.
Swedish buns I can't wait!
They are delicious!
My Tumbs are up so high!! 😅😂😂👍It was all worth it in the end. Fantastic!
Love the mittens!
Thank you!
Great podcast guys,truly enjoy watching you guys interact, was looking to watch how to knit socks and you guys popped up, have been watching all your videos instead of learning how to knit socks!
Thank you Marta! We have several different tutorials on how to knit socks!
С первым днём зимы☃️
😀
I'm a firm believer in wearing things when you want, and not when a holiday dictates. It's may 19 and I'm wearing a Halloween T-shirt
We do agree!
I love you guys! Really enjoyed this podcast, again, like so many others!
Thank you for listening Pamela.
Another fun podcast ! I was supposed to hear your talk today at The Little Red Mitten but disappointingly the weather did not co-operate for my drive so I hope you enjoyed Canada and will be back in the future ! Safe travels and have a wonderful, restful week !
Hope the weather is better!
*Arne & Carlos:* "We have a video for that."
*Me:* "These guys are so cool, and so helpful."
*Me:* "Hm. Maybe I should knit those mittens instead of the socks I had planned on."
*. . .* 🤔
*knitter's anxiety builds*
*. . .* 😰
*Carlos:* @14:00 *"You have plenty of time. Don't stress about this."* 💖
*Me:* "Whew! Right. I can knit up my socks this weekend (and maybe next), then knit the mittens. It's only January. Winter in Sweden lasts through March, at least. *breathes* The choice is made. Knitting is relaxing again. 😎
*Carlos* ought to make knitter's relaxation tapes: You have plenty of time. Don't stress. A jog at the seam under your arm won't show. It's okay to have a jog on your socks.
*Arne's* needles can be clicking rhythmically in the background, ASMR-like. A light overlay of Arne's quite voice, saying: You can steam it out. Steam it, and gently pull the too-tight stitch. Steam it. We're here to help.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for introducing me (in a previous vidio) to the concept of slow TV. I enjoy listening to you while I knit. Also...."slow TV" was the answer to a trivia question and I was the only one to get it correct ;-) so thank you :-)
You are welcome!
Beautiful 🌷🌸🌺💐 beautiful 🌸🌺💐💐💐💐💐beautiful 🌸🌺💐💐💐
Thank you Dalilah
Happy 1st of advent to you too, I love your podcasts! Time to grab my knitting.
Have fun knitting!
Arne, don't feel too bad. In the 70's in Scotland when pizza first came into the shops my mother boiled it...bleh.
LOL
weegie wummin I’m fae Glesga. Can imagine that pizza boing boiled.
😂
@@ellenpaasch4743 oh my goat, you will be the other person who understands weegie is nothing to do with board games lol
Perfect perfect perfect way to begin my first day of Advent! Coffee, knitting and your podcast! Thank you always for giving all of us so much of yourselves, your humor, your stories, your talent. And now I am off to enjoy all five of my hand made Advent calenders... opening doors and hanging ornaments.
Thank you Pamela!
Arne you are so funny :) big thumbs up. Great podcast gentlemen. Very enjoyable.
Thank you Tammy!
Some American bakers measure ingredients in the metric system, and others measure with the imperial system. We can convert from one to the other. I'm especially happy about your vegetarian recipes.
Thank you David!
Very pretty colorwork. I crochet and may get the pattern to crochet. Now as far as boyfriend/girlfriend sweaters..... Oh, no!!!! Wouldn't want to loose a beautiful sweater now eh?
Thank you for watching Gail!
Hi Arne & Carlos! Can these mittens be knitted in the round instead of with 5 double-pointed needles? Sequence and sequins. Radio frequency. How relaxing to listen to you both chat while Arne knits a mitten!
Thank you!
OMG, Dried lamb ribs. PLEASE can you show us how to do that. Our family eats a lot of lamb because we raise Shetland sheep. Me too. We do a lot of trade shows & spend lots of time at hotels. My God i hate their breakfasts, absolutely disgusting....LOL Your cruse sounds fab. I wouldn't mind supplying 100% Qiviut yarns for the cruse knit along of the future.
Hi Beverly, we might have to do an episode on that.
A perfect Pavlova must contain maisenna and vinegar for it to hold it's shape while baking. And let it cool in the oven after baking. Otherwise it may collapse like yours Carlos. Much love
Thank you!
@@ARNECARLOS NP good luck next time. I am sure it will turn out glorious
I was letting youtube just flow thru you shows while I worked. This one was interesting because about an hour in you were talking about your trip in March 2020 and how you would like to not travel so much. Seems to be.one of those careful what you wish for things. I have benefited from your staying home more but we know less travel did not mean no travel in anyone's mind. 😔
That is very true!
Congratulations on finding snow shoes in Vermont. Now Freya needs some Muttluks for her feet when you are all out in the snow. My dogs wear them when we snowshoe or cross country ski.
Thank you Joan!
I am knitting a pair of these mittens now, I hope they turn out as nice as yours :)
Good luck!
@@ARNECARLOS they are amazing! love them!
I am from England (now living in Norway!) and I have always known people to use the metric system for baking/cooking there. But it could be a generational thing, as I know that some from the older generations use measurements like pounds/feet/inches etc when measuring other things (and it just totally baffles me!)
That is true!
Love these podcasts, it feels like having a lovely visit right there in your cozy home!
Thank you Marguerite!
Hi Arne&Carlos,
Great podcast:)
Love your mittens❤️
Can’t wait for the next video.
KimX
Thank you Kim!
Awesome mittens and loved the show! The type of oven you use is more important than metric or imperial measuring. I made many successful Pavlovas in my electric oven, and I made a flat one like you did when I used another person's oven that was fueled by propane gas - actually make that two flat ones. My neighbor who was a passionate baker, told me that electric ovens, particularly convection types are the best for baking.
Thank you Martha!
