14.12 - ARNE & CARLOS Advent calendar 2023 🎄✨🎄✨ -

[@tl4214]

Happy 14th Day of Advent!! I get so excited to see you both each day! The versatility of changing stocking colors does offer an element of uniqueness. I'm happy you'll be visiting your parents, Carlos. I've been looking for cloudberries ever since I found out about them a few years ago. I have a Christmas cabinet shelf, too, Arne! A view from a kitchen window is such a wonderful treasure. Arne & Carlos started their KZbin channel in December, 2015! 🦌🦌🦌🦌🎅🤶🎁🎄🎁❄️☃️❄️

[@justinearrasatelloyd2904]

Your first video was in 2015. I am LOVING this Advent Christmas Stocking and also, I am knitting a whole beautiful set of your Christmas ornament balls. I have a tree I keep up year round in my living room, (not as big as my Christmas tree), and that is where all my new hand knits are going. I also, just received your Easter ornament book!!! SO excited, because starting in Jan. I will be knitting Spring/Easter ornaments to go on my tree! You two are a HOOT! Love you guys! Merry Christmas and thank you for the chance to win either of your lovely giveaways! Hugs!

[@dgalvao9023]

Thank you so very much Arne and Carlos. Thank you for the free pattern. I am very much enjoying this knit-a-long and in particular, spending a little time with you every day. It is the highlight and a most welcome treat at the end of the work day and such fun creating the Christmas stocking and watching it come to be. Not long now before I can hang it up. You filmed your first KZbin video in 2015. I have been watching you faithfully since 2016 (I rarely comment but will try to do so more often) when I was attempting double knitting and your video was just the help that I required. Thank you. Watching and enjoying from Victoria, BC, Canada.

[@sue9788]

I have enjoyed your videos since the pandemic. You kinda saved my mental health. I made a lot (not quite all) of the beautiful squares. They bring me a sort of peace remembering that time period when you helped us make something so beautiful 😊 2015 was the year you started your KZbin channel! Love you guys so much ❤

[@valeriecalderon2993]

8 years ago 2015. I remember when you both first started out Arne was so shy and did not like speaking because his English was not good. Arne you have come a long way! You too Carlos!

[@nan7661]

You tube started in 2015 - my how time flies when you’re having fun! I can always count on you two to make me laugh and smile. Love you both! And love your hair, both of you. Back in the 70’s i used to get a mullet and some people thought i had a poodle cut, thinking of Freja. Nancy

[@minjiwoo8335]

Your videos make my day every time. I started watching you in 2019. Now you have me going back to watch your old videos from 2015 ;)

[@張韶華-q4i]

In 2015 you began this KZbin video journey and I am so grateful for it Thank for sharing your culture and festival activities.

[@chamelidesigns]

Couldn't stop laughing while at Arne's naughtiness! It's so adorable seeing Arne behaving like a kid! Forever young! We all should stay young and enjoy each and every small thing! Thank you!

[@kathrynjohnson553]

You two have become a dear part of my knitting life. Thank you. This stocking is a blast to knit especially in your Norwegian yarn. The earliest video on youtube seems to be in 2015. See you tomorrow.

[@hazelvanniekerk891]

Your first video was in 2015, you both make me smile, I have learnt so much with your tutorials, and continue to improve and get more adventurous with my knitting.

[@janetretzer4869]

Your first video was in 2015! Time flies. I really enjoy all your episodes, I knit while I watch and they are a lot of fun. Thank you!

[@knackfulknitter]

The year you two posted your fist video on you was 2015. I was laughing so hard when Arne put his hands in front and wiggled his fingers…and then I laughed again when Carlos put his hands up, teasing Arne. So funny. Love how the stocking gives me a little break from the busy days before Christmas. 💕💕

[@marinaernstpeulen]

Arne and Carlos, 8 years on KZbin {since 2015). And so many interesting videos. ❤ I love wat you do ❤

[@irenebrand3588]

Your first videos were in 2015. Watching your videos makes me so happy. Enjoying advent together with you. 🕯🕯🕯🕯🎁🎄🎅🎅🎄

[@shamszakhour6076]

The two of you really lift my spirits! I'm so glad you started podcasting in 2015.

[@susanteminsky1078]

Your KAL is so great, putting out 6 rows at a time. What a nice plan to have a window to look out and watch birds while standing at the kitchen sink! Your stories are such fun too. All your projects are very inspiring. 2015 was your first year posting on KZbin.

[@catnapper3923]

I love to bundle my errands - instead of zooming up north three times in a week, I try to think what needs to be done in that area and do three errands in one day. When I’m in the mountains in the summer, everything is at least 50 miles round trip (the mountains get in the way of driving in straight lines!) and so you can be sure I’m not going to be putting more miles on my car than I need to, if I can plan prudently. I see your first video was in 2015, and I’m off to watch it now. Thank you guys so much for all you do.

[@clarastone2857]

Your first video was in 2015. However, I did not know about you then because I had been knitting only a short while and had not discovered the magic of you tube as it relates to learning new things. Now I appreciate my international community and how much I have learned from you guys and others from around the world. Thank you, Happy Christmas and a joyful New Year!

[@barbarataylor857]

I love hearing the comments from the little sweaters, brings back sweet memories. Also such a sweet first episode made in 2015 but not aired til 2023.

[@irenemacleod5140]

Hi guys so happy to sit down and watch to see how the sock is coming along I am getting so busy so I enjoy getting to sit and watch you I tell everyone that I have a appointment every night so I get a break thank you for the podcast well see you tomorrow ❤

[@roos7631]

I'm knitting my stocking in green, a dark (almost red) pink and a bright light pink! It matches my tree decoration very well. On ravelry I also saw some people knitting with different colors of blue! I really liked that! Thank you for making this verry high quality videos for us since 2015

[@kregister7921]

First episode in 2015 and still going strong! A good hairdresser is so important! Loved your story about your "free" haircuts.

[@karinnewman345]

2015 was your first video, but I just found you this year while looking for continental knitting and I discovered something way better-Norwegian knitting! You’re the best! I was rolling 😂 today! Love you guys ❤!

[@bestimw]

Although your videos started on 2015, I only found your videos after I taught myself to knit by watching KZbin videos. So I've been here since 2019. But what timing! I started learning color work with the Quarantine Knit Along. 😊

[@jamieayers30]

First show on KZbin Was 2015. Love you guys! Love the Christmas shows. Learned so much from you both. ❤❤❤

[@leylamoossavi]

Laughing so hard at the phoenix thing. Plus the ‘huge’ hands. Love the stocking!

[@deborahalchin3360]

It lovely to watch the birds while washing the dishes. I also get to watch our first lamb that was born on our property on the weekend. When you live in the country it’s not so easy to pop down to the shop. We combine several tasks when we go to the city too. The first Arne and Carlos KZbin episode was 2015

[@BeDoKnit]

Dec 2, 2015🎉was the date you first joined KZbin and started podcasting! Yay! I have a o much gratitude to you both for all of the “knitspiration”! ❤

[@marlagriffith3144]

You two are the best. I dont knit but i crochet. You are both gifted artists. You mind me of my mother-in-law, Hazel, her parents were Swedish and Norwegian. Best Christmas wishes to you both and your parents, Carlos.

[@barbaraclarke1512]

First youtube was in 2015, I discovered you in 2020 and watch you all the time. Thank you

[@tarasignet7368]

Delightful video today! I needed the laughs. Watching your videos is always like getting together with a good friend. Thanks for 8 years of videos (your first video was in 2015!)

[@nathanjeriwalker2858]

I'm so glad you started your KZbin channel in 2015! So grateful to have this resource!

[@MultiEvas]

Your first video on KZbin was in 2015 , i have knitted abaout 50 of your Christmas balle, i love Them 🎄🎄🎄 thank you

[@RebeccaSeverson-sv6ze]

Knitting the advent stocking each day has been a treat. I enjoying watching your videos each day as they are getting me in the Christmas spirit! Your first KZbin video was in 2015. I found you when the pandemic began and loved knitting “alone together”. Sadly I missed being able to meet you when you came to Yarnology in Winona Minnesota many years ago. That would have been nice. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, humor, and joy with us.

[@toniprutch8956]

You tube 2015. The hands. Love when you tease each other. You both have a wonderful sense of humor. Love you both ❤

[@robynsmith4352]

Thank you again for the free advent knit along‼️🎄. To me, it has been the most fun this year.

[@cathycoury2327]

Arne, you and your hands had me laughing out loud! First video was 2015, 8 years of fun and laughs. Thanks!

[@barbharrington2903]

You must include us in your gingerbread house making practices! It was so funny last year…we all were rolling. Seriously I love cloudberry jam. In my college dorm a squirrel came in the window and I closed the window thinking it was my new pet….it started lapping the walls and we both freaked out…I got the window open and out it flew.😂

[@knittingnancy47]

Well, stocking 2 will have to wait until my arm is better. Six rows is about all I can manage in a day. This is such a great KAL! You make me smile every day! Thank you !

[@reginachristensen578]

Your first video was published in 2015 ❤ and I found you through your sock knitting episodes. I love the hands. They are so fun 😊

[@ralphharoldson5511]

When I was in Oslo last May I was amazed at how many frisørsalonger there were. It seemed like there was at least one on every block, sometimes two. As a non-knitter I was also very surprised to see the inside of the stocking looks different than the outside. Tusen takk for showing that.

[@johneisenhour4287]

I love our squirrels in Virginia!!! They have fun on the bird feeders🤣🤣

[@christianleduc327]

Good evening from France, Paris area. You started your KZbin channel in december 2015. and it is so much fun ever since. Thank so much to you both

[@lois7055]

First episode was in 2015. Such a great KZbin channel. Thank you.

[@KeirZelph]

The first episode that was filmed for your KZbin channel was in 2015 aired in 2023, and it was the start of a wonderful journey that has resulted in this amazing ARNE & CARLOS family.

[@carmenb9209]

first video was 2015, can't remember when i first discovered you two, but one video was the insect hotel and the dolls, was hooked after that, had to see you in person in Ottawa a few years ago and it was amazing :) Carlos and I share the same birthday day :) thanks for all these amazing videos

[@kathyschemine3072]

Carlos, I loved your comment about North American squirrels. My dad used to also call them rats with fuzzy tails. He didn't like how they would eat all the bird food from the feeder and keep the birds away. The first Arne and Carlos KZbin video was in 2015.

[@giselefunk922]

Your first video was in 2015. I discovered you in 2019 and binge watched to catch up. Love your channel and have learned so much.

[@cynthiaacheson2716]

Thank you so much for offering another contest for us! Your videos are always full of laughter and joy, and I love hearing about all the traditions together at your home. You started your KZbin videos in 2015 - providing such a nice little knitting community. My stocking is coming along nicely, despite the heel being not as even as I would like. That’s why we practice… the next one will be perfect 😊

[@everettrok]

The first video on the channel was posted in 2015! As a young man who knits it's very nice to be reminded that there are others like me who have skills I can aspire to!

[@suemccord9723]

First episode 2015 and enjoying them ever since. Thank you. 🤗

[@michellee.2760]

Arne and Carlos began posting on KZbin in 2015. I'm managing to keep up with the daily videos and knitting. Thank you!

[@_KarenS]

Your bird watching window sounds wonderful, Carlos! Washing up and wiping up always needs a good distraction. (2015 is when Arne+Carlos went 'on air' on KZbin)

[@pattyk123]

Always a fun time with you guys! Going strong since 2015!

[@elizabethgunn179]

Oh my gosh! I laughed so hard at Arne sitting with his hands close to the camera! I loooove your sense of humor and playfulness! I’ve been knitting your patterns since the Christmas Balls book and watching your KZbin channel from its beginning in 2015. Thank you for all the years of fun.

[@solveigw]

This is one of my favourite advent calendars. I've made a few of you Christmas balls. I've gifted most, and they make perfect gifts. First video in 2015!

[@janehallstrom7628]

I only discovered you a year ago although you did your first KZbin video in 2015. I love watching your episodes and have learned a lot and been entertained even more. Thank you

[@justwannacraftCathyM]

2015 the year of the first episode. Thanks for the pattern and the laughs!

[@Sassycanuckknitter]

Thank you for the laughs today. I especially love plays on words. The stocking is looking really nice. My friend & I opted for the red, white with a paler green. And I agree that colour variety for the stockings will be nice.

[@pattycone2966]

2015. I am enjoying your daily videos. With the gray winter days, you bring sunshine ☀️ to me.

[@ericadavan6952]

Loving the advent :) thank you. Mine is lime green, bright pink with mohair, and white :) I love it so far! You joined KZbin and started with your first episode in 2015!

[@jeanbates8681]

2015 was your first you tube video. Long time to be doing this!! Love watching you, especially when you talking about cleaning--you sound like me and my husband. I'd love to see more videos about your doll house--makes me want to make my own

[@cherylsimpson8983]

You joined KZbin on Dec 2, 2015. It been so nice to see your followers grow in numbers over the years. A testament to your brilliance and success!!! Keep up the good work.

[@deborahheffernan421]

Your first video was in 2015 and you have been entertaining us ever since. The hands are so funny.

[@sandyrinehart5566]

I think it is funny that someone was commenting about driving 5 hours to get your hair done. I would drive 5 hours if I wanted to. I don’t do that but I have that option to do so. You guys are great and have no need to explain anything to your followers. I love the Christmas sock so far, it is beautiful. Merry Christmas and enjoy your time with your parents. 🎄🎄

[@michelehoulday7816]

The first video was posted in 2015. Am knitting a scarf and knitting a Christmas Stocking -vicariously through Arne. Looking good.

[@corinaletourneau4274]

The very first video was on KZbin 2015. Enjoyed you talk. So fun hearing your stories. Enjoying your knit along.

[@christyclark9695]

First video in 2015! Thank goodness for that! So fun to watch. And guess what? I couldn’t find green yarn for the Advent Xmas Sock, so mine is Grey, Red and White! I think of it as Silver. 😊

[@janecornell4890]

Blues and white would look nice for winter. I chose your colors and I have four rows and today's rows to go! Then I will be caught up. Your stocking is growing like your channel that started in 2015.

[@donnawiedeman5098]

Another fun episode, thank you for your generous time commitment! First KZbin in 2015.

[@Sylvia_1002]

Started podcasting on KZbin in 2015. The stocking is turning out so great. Thank you for this advent calendar.

[@meatdog]

2015 was your first you tube video. This stocking is so beautiful. I hope the yarn is back in stock after Christmas so I can do it in these Norwegian wool colors. I was do disappointed these were not available before this 🎉project started.

[@katygrahn4879]

Really enjoying the stocking. The first video that I could find was in December 2015. Great Job!

[@KathyBresee-n8p]

My visits with you at my computer are one of the highlights of my day :) I love the stocking KAL and anxiously await each "reveal". Thank you for gracing us with our videos since 2015.

[@annabrown4353]

Loving this knit along. I can't wait for your videos and the next pattern, I've become a bit addicted to your videos and knitting the next 6 rows. Your first you tube video was 6th December 2015, 8 years ago!

[@flaxholmelis5996]

It was funny to hear about the squirrels in Boston. I am from the UK, but my sister lives in Boston, US. We both went to a school which had big trees growing outside and the squirrels would throw pine cones and acorns at us as we walked under the trees. It was this sister (I'm greedy I have 3 sisters and we all watch your videos) who introduced me to your videos. I think she has been watching you from the start, which was in 2015. Loving the knit-a-long - thank you xx

[@pennyfrosin3277]

Love these Christmas blogs and the Christmas stocking knit along. The first video was uploaded in 2015 😊

[@robynsmith4352]

My green, white and PINK stocking is looking beautiful! I’m pleased with it and it has become a happy accident that I was unable to purchase Rowan’s red color-way. I was wondering if you were going to show your new kitchen in a cooking and/ or baking ‘future’ episode? Also, I love the clothes Arne makes for the dolls. I sometimes hand sew heirloom teddy bears and would love to learn how to design a simple shirt or anything for it. Lastly, I am now smitten with Prym’s DPN’s. I purchased three sets in different sizes so thank you for introducing them to us‼️

[@carolfaber585]

I couldn’t help but notice that Carlos has been painting, unless that is baking residue on his (big) right hand 😊 The stocking is very nice. It might be fun to make a blue and white one sometime. Blue is a good color for Advent. I believe you joined KZbin in December of 2015.

[@christafischer4042]

Thank you so much! I am really enjoying this knit along. I had to chuckle at Arne’s declaration that he is always concerned about how his hair looks❤

[@TinaHale1]

Your first KZbin was in 2015, my stocking is coming along nicely thankyou🤶

[@CelticCrafterErin]

Your first video on this KZbin was in 2015, and if memory serves it was about your Christmas balls. 🤩🎄I am absolutely loving this KAL and hope to catch up some this weekend! 🥰

[@tracycushman4836]

2015 was your first video! I am already feeling sad this will end soon. I enjoy you both so much. But lucky for me I just discovered you and can go back and watch your older videos. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@denisevettraino7916]

Wow ! I had no idea you've been doing KZbin videos since 2015 !!! Time flies when you're having fun with Arne & Carlos !

[@kimolson2392]

You tube in 2015! So fun to see the colors coming together.

[@ellanabessen2661]

Started on KZbin 2015. Wish I had started watching you then but love watching you both now.

[@brendal2438]

Yeah to your KZbin launch in December of 2015! Glad you came out to play!

[@annebarnett4766]

Your first video on KZbin was posted in 2015. Thank you for the lovely Christmas stocking pattern. Happy Holidays!

[@maryannewatt2118]

First video was 2015. Love spending time with you guys!

[@melanieknitsalot]

You two and your giant hands! 😂 So much youthful joy! Thank-you for the inspiration. This is definitely the season for childlike play and wonder. Thank-you for entering the world of KZbin in 2015, because you bring so much joy to so many with every video. Love and health to you both. 🤗🤗❤❤

[@lindabuckert4052]

First episode in 2015, and you are still going strong. Congratulations!!! ❤❤❤

[@anthrogal78]

My uncle would drive 4 hours round trip for a haircut, in the town he went to school. Now, I live in this town and my husband goes to the same lady for a haircut. I’m trying to remember, but I don’t remember seeing as many hairdressers in Norway (Bergen and Oslo) than I did in Sweden, especially in Göteborg. That city seemed to have at least 1-2 hairdressers on every block! No shortage of choices.

[@JaneJezard]

2015 first video. Another fun episode. Happy to hear Arne now has a place for his Christmas baking tools.

[@laurie-annemead6153]

Carlos. Love your jazz hands too!

[@CandiceCannonBarrier-pv1ro]

I love the idea of knitting the advent stocking in different colors. White and grey sounds like a beautiful combination. I think the white, grey, and red you used in your rabbit mittens could be beautiful as well. First KZbin video was in 2015

[@maryhelgesen6044]

Your first video was in 2015. I found your tree decorating video from 2015. At first it was the Charlie Brown tree, but it looked great when finished. Merry Christmas!

[@tapp52718]

Love watching the two of you! First episode on KZbin December 2, 2015! Eight wonderful years of your videos! We are blessed!

[@anitamadtes877]

Your video came out in 2015! Such a great bit of history for us all!

[@jacquelinemundy5594]

Love your your Chanel which started in 2015. Have a fantastic Christmas.x
