I love the way you two guys speak to one another. So respectful and kind ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
Arne & Carlos you enrich my life, and I want to thank you for that 😘💐😘💐
Thank you so much Sarah!
You are such sweeties for replying... made my day 🌹🌹
You two seem to be such a beautiful combo! Carlos sensible and Arne playful! Love you both!
Yep I would love the doll pattern!!!
Yay!
First, Arne, that sweater is FABULOUS! Second, I absolutely ADORE the black and white woman's sweater with the big flower and the men's black and white sweater. I love living in Florida, but the lack of opportunities to wear sweaters is a drawback.
True😁
You are artists. You can’t teach that. Love your chats. I’m not a knitter but I enjoy watching your creativity like admiring a beautiful painting. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your kind words and for watching!
I'm glad you finished that great sweater, Arne. Excellent!!!!
Thank you!
Another great episode. Yes on the Dolly pattern.
😁
Thank you for taking us with you on your trip 🌹
Thank you for joining!
Love the Helmer Houdini story. He's like some of my cats: opening doors and wanting to be with you everywhere. At home i never close a door behind me, because first there will be a sing along and then they will open it by jumping on the handle. So the front door is always on an extra lock they can't open because it is round.
Clever!
I had a german shepard as a child who could open doors (even the ones with knobs) and open windows too. The windows was especially a problem since if we locked the door she'd get out through the windows and she'd show up at my school (which was less then a block away at the time). She didn't escape to wander around, she'd escape to find me at school, I think she had a bit of seperation anxiety.
Standard poodles are so smart and intelligent. They're incredible! Love them!
The best!
Loving the new crochet flower square, so very pretty 🌸🌼🧶
Thank you Sarah-Jane!
Your ability to judge 15 minutes is amazing! :oD
😅
You're so right about that . . . 0 plus 54 = 15 minutes, not 55 minutes! Funny.
YES YES YES for the doll pattern! She’s wonderful!
👍🏻
Yes please I would love to have the doll pattern!!
Thank you for all the joy you bring to my life!
Thank you for watching Terri!
You both have made the flora part of your entertainment troup that is truly grand. What a lovely hotel. Thanks
You're welcome!
And I forgot to say, in Bosnia and Herzegovina we take off our shoes, and expect our guests to do the same. It's a cultural thing - tradition and hygienic. And I always have slippers for guests in several different sizes! Thank you for today's Sit and Knit, I love "hanging out" with you two!
That's very considerate of you to have slippers!
@@ARNECARLOS I try to be a good host! 😁
My husband's German grandmother had a dresser in the summer kitchen of her house where she stored mittens, hats, slippers, shopping bags, etc. Anyone who entered the house that didn't immediately go to get a pair of slippers very promptly got told quite forcefully to go and get slippers on. She had every size and style in that drawer.
That is impressive.
I like it 😃
Thanks for taking us to a beautiful place. Arne your sweater is awesome.
Thank you!
You are right! Knitting needles are taking a rest and i am working on a UFO afghan pattern now! I really enjoyed this episode. You two crack me up!
Thank you for watching Lynnie!
I loved the episode! You are in a beautiful space today. You are always so respectful of each other’s comments and ideas. It is so enjoyable to watch. Thank you !
Thank you for joining us today Susie!
Loved this Sit and Knit for a bit. I feel like I was able to get out of the house with you. You guys are so entertaining. Never a boring episode. Thank you.
Yay!
Totally agree with you both regarding the colour scheme and choosing colours. Carlos is right about the colour work and can waste time trying to figure out what colour goes with what. Thank you both. xx
You are welcome Coral!
Such fun listening to you as usual.I used to make all my dolls clothes and accessories too, knitted and crocheted.
We take our shoes off in Australia, we live on acreage and have chickens that free roam. You only learn that lesson once.
I grew up with an easy European parents and we always took off our shoes for the same reason of respect for the person who cleaned the home.
😍
I always take off my shoes too out of respect and carry a pair of socks in my bag when visiting.
Poodles are extremely intelligent dogs. I have a toy poodle 🐩 and I swear she understands every word I say. Never had a dog so so smart.
They are incredibly smart.
In the beginning of this video you fooled me, I thought could your house become any more beautiful! Tricky!!! Arne Your sweater is beautiful. It would take me ten years just to knit one arm 😁. I love the new crochet pattern. Just another project to fit into my time. Lovely to see your design on the cover of Rowan. So talented you men are. I hope you had a wonderful trip and don't give up on Helmer!! He will learn.
Always a new project!
I love you guys so much. And it's so sweet that the first thing you do in your getaway is talk about your dogs! You're such great doggy parents, you keep thinking of their welfare even when you're on vacation. Love your podcast, and listen to every one of them. Thanks for being there! Keep up the great work! I love the way you guys think, work, and care for one another and the world. The world is a better place with you in it. I love to sit and work on my knitting projects while listening to your podcast. Still get a chuckle about Porridgegate, all these months later.
😍
You guys are killing me with the Helmer Houdini story :D
He's impressive!
Beautiful Trondheim!💖 Arne, your sweater turned out fabulous.
Thank you Vicki!
We were in Trondheim in 2018, the birthplace of my great grand dad, we are so looking forward to a return visit❤️
Wow!! Arne's sweater is so beautiful!! That's from leftover yarn too! What a great use for leftovers. I love this 👌🏼
Great show Arne and Carlos 👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you!
Hi guys, another 'smile for a while'. Helmer's intelligence will certainly provide you with hours of head scratching. I don't know how any visitors on Sit and Knit for a Bit would top your current show?? You are a unique duo. Love your down to earth ways and natural behaviour. Your Rowan designs are beautiful. Good to see you both . xxxx
Thank you for popping by Alyson!
I’m from North Yorkshire and we never wear shoes in either our own home or anyone else’s. 💜🌷💚
💗
Oh my God, the new blanket is sooo beautiful, so mid century modern... I fell in love immidiately
Thank you!
Love all your new Rowan designs before I even knew you'd done them. But honestly: Please put up a pattern for sale on Arne's sweater! I understand it was a scrap project, but the color selection and placement, combined with the stitch patterns, is just terrific! Re: Helmer, we had to train our dog out of her separation anxiety. Tell her goodbye and take care of the house, see ya later, etc., toss a few tiny treats toward her, then close the door. Wait one minute, come back in and ignore the dog. Repeat a thousand times, just increasing the interval you're gone. Worked beautifully. Good luck!
Thank you for you feedback!
I do not crochet, BUT, those cute flowers are going to make me want to learn!! Loved this episode. I don't comment much, but had to this time. I started watching your podcast early on during the pandemic. It has given me joy and relaxation while my home is very full of remote working students and spouse. Thanks for that.
You should give it a go and thank you for watching Vickie!
Arnie’s sweater is like Dolly’s ‘coat of many colors’. The sweater is beautiful though.
Thank you, such a nice reference!
As always this is the best 15 minutes of my day. Arne, your sweater is fantastic. Enjoy the champagne!!! 🥂🍾🥂
We will!
Caesar Milan is the best person to teach you to teach your dog. Awesome hearing about his exploits- love it
Lynn Albany WEstern Australia
Thank you!
love listening to you talk about the design process, its amazing what work goes into producing something that we knit from a pattern without really thinking. Interesting chat about the colours too and then your Rowan cardigan is pink and red! I was also fascinated then with the colours and patterns on Arne's jumper....it's amazing
Thank you Jen, we have a few others where we talk about our process and show it from idea to finished product: ua-cam.com/play/PLElv_tSbHW3qn8RKkX2Zu8Kug2mKGcjVo.html
Carlos you should know it’s the darkness in the closet that makes clothes shrink. Sometimes they get lonely and afraid and just tighten up from stress. They need light and air to remain their original size. 😊❤️ Oh my, you made me laugh so hard when you tried to take your shoes off I had tears in my eyes. You two are so funny.
But OTOH, it's that same darkness that enables the hangers to multiply. . . .
The darkness😃 Love that theory!
Lol...multiplying hangers...love it...😂😂
The pattern for the doll and her sweater would be wonderful and greatly appreciated. Thank you Arne.
You are welcome!
Good podcast from start to end poodle personality regality ( hotel) & Rowan not forgetting crochet 💙💙
💗Thank you!
Arne’s sweater is so beautiful and so is Carlo’s Norlender. I would love to try the doll pattern and the poodle pattern. I need to start a crochet project. The blanket would be perfect. Looking forward to the surprise! So glad you are having a good outing. Your episodes are never too long!
Thank you Sheri!
LOL. I thought that was really your house....you got me with that joke!
🤣
@@ARNECARLOS @ Suzie Irby, they got me too. LOL
We take our shoes off in others' homes in Canada as well. I've lived in the US and had to ask them to remove their shoes. Once, a young man refused and, since I didn't know him well and didn't care to impress him, I wouldn't let him in. There was no second date.
😂
It's not normal for people to remove their shoes here, but if someone requested it, I would remove my shoes out of respect for that person.
I'd love make this cute little doll for my youngest grandchild as I sewed some for my older ones. Although the dolls looked tattered after some time it was worth the work. The kids loved them, somehow they seemed to feel the energy and love that went into those projects.
That is very true.
I vote she keeps her smoky eyes! I love her!
Thank you!
Hi guys! About pink and red - I hated that colour combination when I was a child. Nobody told me those colours shouldn't be combined, but it was my feeling about that at the time. Today, I like this combination of specific tones of red and pink, but then again, today I am art professor and painter, so my attitude is that there is no ugly colour if you can find a good complementary pair for it. Colours come alive when they are in company of another, or few others.
When I was a child (1960s, 1970s) I was told red and purple did not go together, and red and green was only for 'farmers' (not people living in town, like us)
There are so many interesting traditional colour theories.
@@ingeleonora-denouden6222 As a child (90s) I was told never to pair green and blue. But I like that colour combination because it's found in nature, like grass and sky.
Thoroughly enjoyed this Sit and Knit episode. Felt like I was there with you! Thanks for sharing your life events !!
Thank you for joining!
Oh I did think it was your dining room at home, so SURPRISE! Hee hee hee! Beautiful Trondheim, so so lovely you brought us here! Your sweaters are gorgeous, complementing the setting, what a beautiful sight, and feeling, April 2021, as we all move through pandemic. THANK YOU both for this uplift, and joy today! ❤️❤️
Thank you for watching Mary!
You had me going for a bit!!!
I take my shoes off at home. And what better way to show off your handknit socks!! LOL Love your designs!
That's very true.
Helmer is a puppy still and a smart one at that. During COVID you have been home and now he just needs to know that you will come back. Once things go back to normal he will become adjusted to being left as you travel more often. Maybe the people who look after him could take him for a car ride more often so that becomes normal and he is comfortable -- he could go to that house for a couple of hours and them pick him up. Then all would seem normal. Good to be out and about though and feeling normal. Ottawa is locked down as is all of Ontario. Be safe!!!
You as well!
Sun, wind, rain, and horizontal snow… it sounds very much like a normal day in Newfoundland, Canada!
Hi, just lovely...going away just for a few minutes with both of you is my whole Day. Thank you. 😊
Thank you for coming along!
Great Sweater, Arne, I am most inspired
Thank you!
I love your sense of humor guys! I am catching up on episodes and I almost believed you did overdo it with the dining room decor 😂
😅💗
I'm not going to look - I dislike spoilers and love surprises! It's good to see you!
😁
Absolutely, I want the pattern of the doll.😄🐩
Yay!
Love your designs, wow so talented. Have some fun please. Congratulations on your Rowan spread.😍😍
We will and thank you!
I bought this Rowan issue specifically for your designs and plan on making quite a few of them. Love your fashion sense!
Thank you!
So excited! Just purchased the Auden blanket with small floral squares pattern. Can’t wait to get started. Thank you for another great project and pattern.
Thank you for supporting us!
Arne love the new sweater Looks great on you
Thank you Sandra!
This room is lovely and before you spoke I thinking wow, you had really kept this room a secret from us... ha ha I love the background sounds it definitely sounds like a hotel and your voices sound wonderful..... At any rate this is quite lovely and such a good idea...
😂
The doll is adorable. Love your remodeling job... We have found for our puppies that having someone come in to take care of them works so much better. Helmer is a smarty pants...adorable little guy. Thank you for an another great video, Have fun in the big wide world....take care.
We will!
Oh yes, please! I'd love the doll pattern!
💗
I love the setting today, very stylish. The doll pattern would be lovely. I feel the need to go and drink champagne and knit. Thank you for everything you do, it's a lovely fun filled 15 minutes 😃
You're welcome Janet!
Oh, Helmer! He is the new diva in your house. Maybe you could do a collaboration with Ceasar Milan?
That would be fun
But poor Helmer would be like having a visit from the headmaster 😱! Though Cesar has wonderful results.
@@ARNECARLOS Actually Zach George's methods are more humane and kind to animals- He is a big UA-cam Star also-
It’s a matter of time before Helmar learns your door code!
He will eventually😉
@@ARNECARLOS he already knows it. he just pretends he doesn't so you won't discover he sneaks out to visit the moose while you sleep.
Really enjoyed your "out and about" video today. Congratulations on the Cover. Just imagine what Helmer could accomplish if he had thumbs.
We are scared to even think about that!
I liked your discussion about how a designer designs a pattern. It’s hard work. Thank you for doing your videos.
Thank you for watching that helps us making more.
Would love to see a pattern for the doll
👍
From now on, you must have a man playing background music on a piano for the Sit & Knit for a Bit podcasts.
It adds a bit to the atmosphere!
Love your new fabulous Drawing Room lol. I also love your Valentina Doll but I guess I will have to be patient and wait for the pattern. Enjoy the rest of your stay Guys.
Arne I can knit forever and crochet to. lol. Thank you for both for sharing the squares are beautiful and nice to get out and about. xx
👍🏻
Is the vaccine available to you all there? In Arizona its available to 16 year olds and up now. But we are still just under 50% vaccinated. I just had my 2nd yesterday!
We are not sure when it will be our time, but more and more people are getting it every day!
Will you put the doll's name in the comments please? And, of course, she also needs pants!
We all needs pants! Valentina
I heard him call her, ValenTina in a previous vide!! made during valentine's day, as I recall Arne said. Shes such a cutiepie!!
LOVE Arne’s sweater made from your yarn stash! I’m hoping that’s the same pattern that is in your Favorites book. 🤩❤️
Fantastic. Enjoy listerning to you both.
Thanks for sharing Guys, another Wonderful episode. Jo xxx
Thank you!
Congratulations on the Rowan cover, I will buy the magazine! Love the dolls, I was thinking you could make a Dolly Parton doll 😉It would be great to have a whole family of doll patterns, complete with Freya and Helmer, and a moose! I hope you can travel more, your travels in Norway make me want to come and visit!!
Thank you!
I found your discussion of the development of a design to actual knitted garments fascinating. Thanks for the brief view into your world of knitting design. Once again I was sewing a bit while listening. Your podcast works well for sewing as well as knitting and I sew better than I knit.
You're welcome Lynn and no pressure to knit!
Thank you for a great visit. Looking forward to seeing how the Granny squares go together.
💗
Today’s video is great. Thank you.
You're welcome!
My French Canadian grandmother had a big basket of colorful slippers she had crocheted and knitted, just inside the back door of her house. From toddler to grown-up sizes. It was fun to choose a pair to change into before coming into her spotless home. No shoes in the house!
💗
Nice one for the Rowan spread, guys. X
Thank you!
Your granny square blanket is very pretty. I made one years ago and forgot about it until your podcast. Is so fun to do.
It takes time, but its worth it!
Arne your sweater is beautiful! I also love granny squares, also the doll is adorable, it would be a great pattern.
Thank you!
Hi Boys
Love the Granny Square blanket, and yes please would love the pattern for your beautiful doll and her jumper. And whilst we are on the subject of jumpers your stash jumper Arne is gorgeous. Take care keep safe and we will see you soon. 👵
You too Molly!
I love mid century 50’s style too fashion and home wares great that you have the cover of the magazine
💓
I'm with you, Carlos, on the styles of the 50's. I love just looking at the styles in movies from that period.
True!
I think the ideas you show us are inspiring ...the rest is for us to create, yes about the colours and confidence...thank you ! My gran used to say doing and undoing is ok, it’s kind of a relaxing thought.
Well said!
Loved this one where you are away. So inspiring to see your granny square blankets, haven’t made one for years since I was a little girl. I would love to have a pattern for the doll you brought and maybe by this time she is out. I also have your doll book so perhaps by changing yarn and needle size she’d be almost the same. Thank you two for sharing your days with us, I feel so happy and inspired when I watch. Be well and stay happy and healthy you two.😊❤️
Yes, we are working on a pattern
It has been so enjoyable to catch up on these episodes. Every one of them is special, and this one was no exception. I felt as though I were there with you, in your "newly renovated sitting room" LOL. I'm so glad you were able to get out of the house and stay in a lovely hotel.
The granny squares are so lovely. They will make for a gorgeous blanket. It's nice to have a project you can work on together while you're away from home. It reminds me of one of the early profile pictures you had on your Facebook page of both of you working on the granny squares outside on your porch.
I found the discussion on how your design process works quite fascinating. It is true, though, that putting colours together cannot be taught. It is an innate skill, I find, and your particular way of putting colours together is your signature.
I just loved Arne's sweater. It just amazes me that he can just start knitting and make up patterns and combine colours on the go and so quickly. Fascinating!
Thank you for taking the time during your busy schedule to make this podcast.
I've been watching your Crochet Mandala series whilst working on my Hedvig throw (45 flowers done now) and I'm already wanting to do these cute granny squares! I know you often mention the confusion between US and UK terms but I've found the most helpful thing is watching your videos and Arne explaining how many 'times round the needle', especially as I didn't know the terms anyway!I've only really learnt to crochet competently since Christmas using your crochet basics playlist.
Congratulations on your crochet journey Natasha! We are so glad to hear that you find the tutorials helpful.
I totally believed you when you said it was the new decor of your living room! Until, you said, I was like: yeah that's totally Arne and Carlos! :)
😂
Awesome Episode And I would love the Doll pattern
Thank you!
I love love love your doll and animal patterns! I would definitely enjoy adding this sweet doll to the collection! You are both so talented!
Thank you!
You guys had me! I was believing you had remodeled and that was your opulent new room!
😂💗
