Sit and Knit for a Bit on a Sunday - our podcast - Episode 14 - by ARNE & CARLOS

[@darcicole5530]

"Arrested for being stunning! You're welcome!". I literally laughed out loud. You guys are the best .❤

[@brendatucker35]

Hope to see the green house when your niece gets it done!!!❤❤❤ Love you guys!!!❤❤❤

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@bernicemcgowan6657]

I want to hear more about Arne’s childhood trips in the sled wrapped in furs

[@roslyncoward3222]

Just love you two and everything you chat about, it's so relaxing and interesting.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@louisearsenault7594]

I'm very happy to catch up with you guys for episodes 13, 14 and 15 after moving from a big house in May in a 5 1/2 rooms apartment. Can't imagine all the stuff you have (don't ever move)! Listening to you both is like receiving friends at home (which we will do very soon). It's refreshing! Thank you again ti share parts of your life.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Congratulations on you move.

[@annmcg9781]

Loved your story about visiting the jail. I would have had the same anxiety. Very good news about Norway’s low recidivism rate. Love how proud you both are of your country.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@Bobbieliz]

Totally agree with you about the roof changes. Nothing like noticing an incongruity for the first time, especially on a large area like a roof! and then forever after.

[@arlettem.garcia6831]

Great episode . The prison story was awesome! The rose is really beautiful . Always the best podcast!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Hello Guys, what a treat to watch this and see that you got the Barbie book, written by Greg LaVoi! He was the very first person that I worked with in Hollywood. I was still a student in design school, so he hired me to create all his patterns and sew them up. At the time, he was designing for Country Western singers, like Reba McIntyre when she was still doing the rodeo circuit (this was 1983. I'm now dating myself). He even encouraged me to draw up ideas, and he used one for Rosanne Cash's Grammy awards. He went on to design many a film and TV show, but his first love was always Barbie. And you know my story! So I can't wait to see you again for the Antarctic cruise. As we say in Portugal, "Bejinhos!" (little kisses). Dorothy Bulac-Eriksen

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Dorothy!

[@alwieozzie]

Thanks for the unexpected shoutout haha! I'm very proud of my sweater. I bought the yarn in Bronnoysund, I think you were right and that's where Arne got his yarn too. Have fun with your sleeves! Can't wait to see the result. Greetings from us all from the Netherlands.

[@timothybeard2671]

It’s always very special to know that you are making lovely things that others notice and appreciate. Good for you and keep up your knitting. Everything is possible if you put your mind and effort into it. ❤Shirley

[@ARNECARLOS]

😍😍😍

[@ClaireWhoMakesThings]

What a lovely compliment they said about your Knitting. 🧶 I bet that you were honoured.

[@catherinemontrose2102]

I love the barn roses, and I've been thinking about painting one on my backyard shed. It's probably so far down on my project list that I'll never do it, but we'll see.

[@RosyRetro]

Catching up on all the episodes I've missed, loved the prison story!! I would be nervous too! 😂

[@DawnLewis79]

I love the way you support each other in your ideas - but I love Arne's digressions even more (it's how I learn!).

[@ARNECARLOS]

👍

[@aliciaquintano6506]

I think you are both stunning! And wonderful storytellers 😊❤

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for listening to our stories!

[@BeautifulOaks]

Those building roses are beautiful. It would be cool to have cookie press/ cutter with the rose on it. Even cooler if it had A&C, for Arne & Carlos.😊

[@ARNECARLOS]

That would be pretty cool!

[@marymartin8961]

You guys need a museum for all your collections. Then you can leave it to the national museum for the world to see.

[@kendenta2207]

I remember the flatsee doll here in America back in the 60's. I don't remember much of the television commercial but the jingle from the commercial went like this: Flatsee Flatsee their flat and that's that. Then there's a pause in the jingle and the jingle says. AND THATH'S THAT. Really loud.

[@JaneDawsonWiley]

I think we need "Arrested for being stunning" T-shirts with "You're welcome!" on the back. LOL. I love you guys so much. You are fabulous and stunning.

[@ARNECARLOS]

😍😍

[@annesmith3352]

Aww 🥰 yes I remember looking forward to watching you both during Covid pandemic you were highlight of my week! Xx

[@ARNECARLOS]

❤️

[@carolfaber585]

I’m with you in that I enjoy thinking about and planning all the things (craft projects, house renovations/additions, etc.) almost as much as the finished product! Thinking about wall color, for instance. I’m glad Arne chose a yellow for his studio that will make him happy. And the linen/laundry/flower room for Carlos. What a great idea! Not dollhouses, but I wonder if you have ever visited the Thorne miniature rooms at the Art Institute in Chicago. I think you would love them!

[@amcclellan509]

Another wonderful episode! I would definitely go back to the prison to get more of the roses. Such a great story!

[@connieolson8497]

Arne, very talented to create a new sleeve for jacket. Love to see the addition. Love sit and Knit a bit! The stories are a great, I liked the Jail story.😀 nice you got to experience the jail island. The roses are very pretty. What is the rotary iron?

[@ARNECARLOS]

It is a ironing roll

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

It is always a pleasure to sit and knit for a bit as you chat, thanks for the great company.

[@wendymajor4446]

Listening today while I knit my first Torbjorn hat love the pattern and how easy it is, it looks more complicated than it is. Also enjoying your Reno’s and travel, whether etc Cold here atm Queensland Australia so I am knitting all things winter!

[@ARNECARLOS]

That seems like a good time to knit☺️

[@BeautifulOaks]

Good luck with the house cleaning, too!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!!

[@grwhryrpltd]

Lots of garden chat in this one, enjoyed it. Did you get to meet Fergus at Great Dixter? Things in our TX garden are also two weeks or so early... thanks climate change & global warming. I saw that the Queen's dollhouse was on display and wondered if you got to see it - of course you did! I've only seen it in a very old book, probably when it was on display back in the 80s. Carlos, I think you should call your laundry/linen room the FLAX room... and paint it a coordinating color, it is such a beautiful flower. I'd also like to see more of the garden books you acquired on your trip. AND to see your niece's greenhouse when they finally get the Valdres roses installed. Good luck with all your spring projects! 🤍💮🤍

[@jeanandreas3446]

Another fantastic episode…..I was laughing over the prison story 😊. Always interesting……..thanks! 🎶🎶😎🤩

[@HeatherHeld]

Thank you for another inspiring podcast! I loved seeing the sleeve Arne was knitting! You two are always brighten my day with your podcast!

[@ARNECARLOS]

😍

[@marinamorales5049]

Que lindo todo lo que hacen ,twjidos ,ropa para los muñecos ,cocinan ,espero que haga alguna receta 😊

[@judithstrenio9552]

As Arnie held up his sleeve and said it would be his project on the next cruise he looked us right in the eye. In my mind I heard him say "Folks, you heard it here first!"

[@judithstrenio9552]

And then "but wait, there's more!" dolls!!

[@dragonknitter]

Bob Mackie designed for Dolly Parton as well

[@wendyarnold5256]

❤❤❤

[@holly-go-lightly]

Love watching. You two are amazingly talented. ❤❤

[@Lilybet1316]

Arrested for being stunning!! 🤩 😄❤

[@viridiangreen8259]

Arne you need a Lica dollhouse 👍🏻 - can't wait to see your new recordings 😊 - feel better Freya

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you

[@claudiafigueiredo7969]

"Just me and a rose in a barn" in the prison! LOL 🤣Do I see the inspiration for a new Christmas ball or advent stocking?! :)😁

[@ARNECARLOS]

👍🏻❤️

[@cherylg.813]

Happy SAKFAB day! Glad you enjoyed your adventures in England and now you're back home with Freja. Hope she is feeling better and back to her feisty self soon. Moose, moose! Arrested for being too stunning! Yes, I can believe that! 🤣 Hope you have a beautiful week and all the new construction goes perfect! ❤🤗😘

[@ARNECARLOS]

You as well Cheryl!

[@jenniferjohnson9335]

What a fun episode! Loved hearing your prison story. Will you paint or otherwise protect your rose or leave it plain to hang? I hope Freja feels better soon. Thanks for sharing!

[@ARNECARLOS]

We will leave it plain.

[@joycerichards5699]

Great episode. I had to rewatch the part about the roses. How many do you need to decorate a wall? I think you may need to revisit the prison to buy more!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You usually only have one

[@hannahloades3790]

I love you Arne ❤ “you could be arrested for being stunning” 😍 😆 you are both so fabulous xx

[@ARNECARLOS]

😍😍

[@jackiemueller205]

I really LOVE the flat dolls. They are like paper dolls. I love those too.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@irenemacleod5140]

Hi guys I so enjoyed your sit and knit the rose is beautiful it will look beautiful on the building I love to hear of your travels and your lives thanks for sharing well I will see you next time ❤❤

[@ARNECARLOS]

See you next time Irene!

[@leylamoossavi]

If you’re ever in Chicago you should see the Colleen Moore dollhouse at the Griffin science museum. It’s amazing and has the matching China set to the dollhouse at Windsor Castle.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for the tip

[@lorrainewelsh8670]

Perfect timing guys because I'm sitting in the garden enjoying the sunshine...doing crochet not weeding 😂❤

[@ARNECARLOS]

Perfect, sound nice!

[@charlenerichardson2623]

Still working on my grandmother’s flower garden quilt

[@carlettamlodzik5323]

Great story about the Valdres Rose!! I need one for our daughter’s new barn. Thanks for the inspiration! 😊👍

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@michelemurnane2834]

Love the flat dolls! Now you see me!!

[@gairunnalls8923]

I agree with some things being early this year. It's the same here in Sydney. I've seen wattle flowering now when it normally flowers in August. Two months early 😳

[@ARNECARLOS]

That is early!

[@judygerdes7500]

I love listening today it’s so uplifting just to listen to

[@ARNECARLOS]

Stay happy Judy

[@carolekiernan296]

Love the roses! The story of getting them was great! Love you guys!

[@ARNECARLOS]

😍😍

[@jentextiles]

You both are always so interesting to listen to x

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you so much!

[@lindamorris7208]

I loved hearing about your barn rose. My ancestors were from your area, Fagernes, Bagn, Etendal. I visited in 2019 and loved seeing the barn roses. My brother-in-law is going to cut one for me to put on my house in Port Townsend, Washington.

[@ARNECARLOS]

That is very kind of your brother-in-law😍

[@phylham1565]

Your prison story was priceless. I had such a visual in my head of Carlos sitting in the car and Arne standing by himself. Very funny. The roses are beautiful and very worth your trip to get them.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@Mary-sg6uo]

That is amazing that you can make the sleeves longer.

[@sheridenlomax325]

A great podcast...very funny! And interesting.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you😍

[@faribayagoobian7721]

You two are amazing .

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@carrielovesfanta]

That prison story was top tier

[@ARNECARLOS]

Oh yes!

[@sunidollfun]

In Sydney, Australia we had our cold August winds in July (unless they are coming next week).

[@colleenkirkbride5455]

Loved the prisoner story! You two are a hoot! Thanks for sharing!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching!

[@ClaireWhoMakesThings]

I really enjoyed your video boys, especially all the doll chat. I’m so delighted that you’re interested in getting more Blythe dolls. I only have two Licca chan dolls, but I doubt that mine are authentic. I would love a new in box Licca chan doll myself. Plus I’ve bought quite few Licca chan bodies online to use on my none authentic Blythe dolls, as I really like the licca chan bodies on some of them. I’ve also put the head of one of my authentic Blythe dolls on a Licca chan body. I am so excited about your licca knitting book, as I know the Jumpers will fit my Blythes too. Many of my Barbies, Harry Potter and other dolls are in storage at the minute but after my studio renovation I can get them back out. I could do with a separate doll room too. 😆 The knitting you showed is gorgeous, I love your prison story and the Rose and I will look forward to your cooking video and other members stuff. I think you chose a good week to be in England, as the rain and storms came after you left. I had to wade through water on my driveway.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Have fun renovating your studio Claire

[@ClaireWhoMakesThings]

@@ARNECARLOS Thank you

[@carlenehall2979]

Loved the story about the barn rose & how it came to Norway! I bet that was a little unnerving for both of you at the prison, but to end up with such a beautiful piece!

[@sandrasmith3258]

I love hearing your stories of what you have been up to.

[@dragonknitter]

I have a plethora of grand nieces and nephews, and I'm not old, lol

[@miavandijk8033]

Heerlijk verhaal over de " gevangenis" en over de roos die in de nok van jullie dak komt. Ik ben heel erg benieuwd hoe het er gaat uitzien ... lieve groetjes van Mia uit Nederland

[@blasebaker]

Hi guys. Always happy to see you. Thank you for sharing all of your adventures. ❤

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for listening Blase!

[@dullgirl2.50]

I think the word you were struggling for is gable, which is the space under the point of the roof. Lots of types of decor are mounted there. Among the ones I have seen are stylized suns, Texas lone stars, and the Amish roses. Yours is striking.

[@ARNECARLOS]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@Lauren-Pip-ONeal]

I think we saw some of the Pennsylvania roses at a gift store in Bagn - in the upstairs (up very steep and narrow stairs!) of the Bangsmoen Husflidutsalg. My husband just checked the photos he took last summer and at that time there were some roses up there, along with some beautiful knitwear (I got some lovely cabled mittens ) and some other nice crafts. Your prison story reminds me of a time (long before cellphones) that my brother and I took a wrong turn in a sketchy NY neighborhood at night. He got out to make a call at a payphone to get directions and I stayed in the car, locked the doors, and told him that if anything happened to him he was on his own and I would drive away! Of course Carlos would never say such a thing to Arne - but before you think I'm heartless, keep in mind that my brother wouldn't listen to me and therefore was the one who got us lost!

[@ARNECARLOS]

🤣🤣🤣❤️

[@lynnbean7200]

Loved your prison story. I had to visit a prison for work once, to visit an Indigenous art group among the prisoners. I had exactly the same slight nervousness! Good to see Freya. Vaccination time is always horrid.

[@ARNECARLOS]

It is👍🏻

[@inezwalsh2584]

I seen the doll house in England ,oh my gosh amazing….

[@marilyn9155]

Great time for you guys to take vcay. Almost Nothing more stressful than living in a home while construction is happening . Love the idea of a linen room!!! Always look forward to your chat. I had one of the original Barbies as a kid and I recognize some of the styles shown in your book . Very comforting as well as amusing to watch you guys. Love the prison story !!!! much love and be safe .. ❤xxMarilyn

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for joining us Marilyn!

[@Barons.knitting]

Thank you for sharing your story about going to prison to get the roses. I found it quit humorous. 😂 I am happy that Freya had such loving owners ❤ Have a wonderful day. I look forward to your next video.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you and see you soon

[@rnchimilar]

Don't think 50 grams with the cable will be enough. Cables eat a lot of yarn. Glad you had a good trip nice to see you back home.

[@ARNECARLOS]

👍🏻

[@robyn-r3g]

I look forward to seeing your garden. The weather is completely out of whack here, too. We are having some substantial rain at the moment, thanks be. I love the sound of rain on my tin roof. Don't forget to show us your insect houses! ❤ 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘

[@ARNECARLOS]

👍🏻

[@AnnikenAllis]

I was in Norway for 13 days in May & it was mid 20s & sunshine every day! Rained when I landed in London.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You lucked out!

[@karenchr14]

I'm loving today's episode. Once, a long time I was intimately involved with a renovation, on our home while we lived in it! I totally understand the frustrations you're having. But it's good when it comes together. I live in Nova Scotia, right across from PEI. We are having a very cool and windy spring. Everything's a gamble. Except the weeds. They are booming.❤❤

[@ARNECARLOS]

But it will all be worth while in the end.

[@Wildknitdiva]

The rose reminds of Pennsylvania Dutch designs

[@ARNECARLOS]

We will have to look those up

[@lorettazaharias9692]

If you ever get to Chicago, go to the Museum of Science and Industry to see Colleen Moore's doll house. It is just amazing! She was a star in the silent movie era. It is a Fairy Castle which took 7 years to make and costly thousands of dollars.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Loretta!

[@foleyjp1]

Carlos, I agree that any construction project (including painting) creates a disruption to your life. We have had renovations to our two bathrooms and while they were pretty quick (about 2 weeks each), it was extremely annoying to live through the noise and the constant traffic of workers coming and going into the house. I thought I was going to lose my mind each night. Just keep focusing on the wonderful finished product you will have and enjoy for many years to come. Arne' I think you will be much more happy with a yellow work room rather than the red, which is a much heavier color.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you, we will.

[@fanincalifornia1192]

All knitting is good knitting!!!

[@Tinacrafts2]

Oh my…your prison story was SO funny! But what a great addition the rose will be on your wall. They call those designs “hex” symbols in Ohio/PA from the Dutch who settled here. I’ve seen some great looking barns displaying these designs. By the way, your Italian doll with the smeared lipstick would look just right next to Arne’s clown painting! 🤭

[@ARNECARLOS]

That is true!

[@dorotheaarola1672]

Great episode. Loved your prison story. Lol.

[@ARNECARLOS]

🤣🤣

[@lisas7025]

I loved hearing about all your adventures especially the one about going to the prison! Enjoy your time in the greenhouse and the nice weather.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@marynimocks6791]

A new word to add to your already remarkable English. Here In the US, we call repeat offences of prisoners, "recidivism". Your fluency in American English is phenomenal! And bravo to Norway for such a low rate of recidivism!

[@ARNECARLOS]

👍

[@debbiehanchett659]

I enjoyed hearing your adventures obtaining the rose. It is pretty. I hope that Freia is feeling better now. Enjoy your vacation.

[@ARNECARLOS]

She is feeling a lot better.

[@mydailyfiber]

I have a barn quilt here in North Carolina! That's fun, I didn't know you had them there, too. Interesting. Love yours. Thanks for sharing.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching!

[@MaryaPawl]

Great stories! I must watch your how-to about making sweaters without a pattern👍

[@windyrainStorm]

Oh Carlos! So proud of you that you get to drive alone, I got my license in October 28 and until now I am scared to drive alone when it is farther out of Lillestrøm!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Congratulations on your lisence!

[@ellekewilms6891]

Beautiful work on that sleeve! I most definitely certainly wouldnt take it out, but if you have nothing better to do 😉....

[@ARNECARLOS]

😎

[@deborahlee4941]

Our flowers in Maryland are blooming a month earlier than usual.

[@sherinylund1659]

Can’t wait to see your garden!

[@ARNECARLOS]

It is something else now!

[@AbbyBrooklyn1]

One of my favorite memories from my February Arne & Carlos tour was seeing the push sleds in Honningsåg. Too bad KZbin won’t let me paste photo in comments

[@deborahlee4941]

Sitting on the porch knitting a Shetland lace shawl.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Happy knitting!

[@jackandlyla4868]

Love the prison story...another fun episode as always..im also going to Japan in November, wouldnt it be awesome if i happen to walk by you in the street.😊 you would hear a gal from Australia squeal with delight.❤

[@ARNECARLOS]

😍😍

[@marciasullivan7534]

Hi from Hilton Head, South Carolina❤

[@ARNECARLOS]

Hi Marcia!

[@MichelleLewis-nc8zv]

Carlos you are such a nervous ninnie!😂😂😂

[@annesmith3352]

Me again! Yes I agree same as you both I don’t like air conditioning far too cold me me! Must be because I’m across the North Sea from you near Newcastle on Coast and yes it’s strange weather gardens blooming really early maybe it’s all rain ☔️ we have ha! Ha! Thank you as Accor your podcast! Xx 💜🧶💜

[@kathrynbarker7967]

Carlos is am the same way, exactly. I once had a temp job where i had to drive all over the area and my husband used to drive me the day before so i could see where i was going - so sad. He said we both worked that job!! As far as the plants go, it is the same here. Don’t know what i will have to bloom mid summer as everything has or is blooming! I am in western New York. Yes, building inside or out, is an absolute mess….

[@nancywagner1510]

I think Arne should write a children’s book about his childhood in the country……..it would be like “Little House on the Prairie “ and we could learn about the old-timey customs that your family was still perpetuating, before they die out completely. And your illustrations would be so charming! Glad you had such a nice prison experience; I live in Kansas City and let a visiting friend talk me into a sightseeing trip to Leavenworth prison. We nearly got shot. Apparently they don’t encourage sightseeing. Although since the outside gate was open and there were no signs I don’t see why I was expected to know that. My motto is: go wherever you can, and apologize later. If you’re still alive.

[@angelapa9513]

Hi sweet friends Love you ❤️

[@ARNECARLOS]

😍

[@Rainydaylily]

I used to live in a town here in the US that has a minimum security prison for men who are getting ready to go back into society. I conducted a book club in the prison and remember my "guys" fondly.

[@davidhensley76]

It sounds like May in Norway corresponds to March in North Carolina.

[@ARNECARLOS]

That might be right
