Sweater Weather and Upcoming Knit-Along | Sit and Knit for a Bit with ARNE & CARLOS

[@brendatucker35]

Love the crazy quilt blocks, they are beautiful! I laughed and laughed today, you guys are making my day. So glad Freya is feeling better...❤❤❤❤❤

[@maryjosmith1201]

Thank you! You both give so much joy to people... telling your stories. You don't make any of us feel as if we cant do it!

[@ARNECARLOS]

😍

[@debmullis4087]

Classic Arne, “Do you actually need all these needles?” Love to listen to your podcast guys!

[@catnapper3923]

I adore it when Carlos goes off on a tangent and Arne descends into a fit of the giggles and has to start ironing until the tangent is exhausted. I adore your kindness to each other. I really loved last year’s KAL, second only to the quarantine squares. Excited about this year’s. Thanks, boys.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad to hear that!

[@michelemurnane2834]

It is not a contest, we knit for the joy of creating. Enjoy your knitting Carlos.

[@SuretteSnyman]

I knit slowly, and enjoying every stitch. Thank you for the upcoming knit along. Going to enjoy that.

[@Y01igir11]

So good to see Freya so lively! Did anyone else learn the little mantra spring forward, fall back? This is the only way I can keep the time change straight.😊

[@christafischer4042]

I love to have a morning,afternoon and evening project…. Something intermediate, something fiddley, and something simple… so fun!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@ARNECARLOS]

Varioation is the key!

[@sandrabauer9514]

@@christafischer4042 That is really a splendid way to do it! I’m going to try it!

[@vicdeanlim]

Carlos, no worries about speed. Just enjoy the process! Knitting has been my mental health therapy and it is so relaxing to me, sometimes I fall asleep knitting. Lots of mistakes happen when you fall asleep knitting! Arne you are so kind and patient to offer to fix the knitting. I am still enjoying these sit and knits!

[@jaedd_plans]

Timezones are always confusing, I’m so glad Google will figure them out for me :) and Carlos, I also knit slowly, you’re not alone!! I can’t wait for the KAL, this will be the first year I’ll have the time to participate and I’m really looking forward to it. Thank you for always having such fun projects!

[@ixtlanisabelle]

Lucky me, my Jack Russel, Chico, has reached yesterday 19 years and 11 months. Living with a blind dog is not the simplest of the situations but he is so loving... He has no sickness, heart, liver, kidneys, even joints. He does not complain, even if he is very slow and cautions, which was not his past life. I love him and will accompany him when he tells me he is fed up. Best wished to both of you and Freya

[@janicecoulson5388]

Bless him a grand age. You are lucky, I've lost both of my dogs within 10 months of each other. I am bereft

[@ixtlanisabelle]

@@janicecoulson5388 I am preparing myself for this. I will never be ready but there it is. Life is great, though. Gratitude !

[@ixtlanisabelle]

@@janicecoulson5388 I am deeply sorry for your loss.

[@denisea6936]

The time thing has just had me in stitches ... happily I'm in the Uk

[@2biebs]

Carlos I always thought I was the slowest knitter in the world. As long as it looks good there is nothing wrong with it

[@sandrabauer9514]

Carlos, I’m not a speedy knitter either, but I always say that it’s the journey, not the destination, that I enjoy! The same with my spinning!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Well said!

[@corriendunar3436]

Love to hear that there is again an Christmas knit a long. Still didn't finished my sock from last year 😂 But no worries it will all be alright. Have a good trip and see you next time ❤🧶

[@JuliJensenMahoney]

So nice to see you both but I miss seeing your beautiful rooms as backdrop to your videos. Today we see Arne’s wonderful bookshelf and last time, the scary clown! 😄 May we visit with you again in your beautiful kitchen- maybe for a little baking and coffee? Happy Autumn from New England. Keep those home fires, and candles burning. 🍂🍁🍄‍🟫

[@elizabethcary3626]

Hello from the Central Valley of California. Weather here is still very warm. I’m knitting a blanket for a daughter and we’ll crochet two baby blankets for my newest great grandsons. Have a wonderful day. Love watching you.

[@Knittingmylifeaway]

Hello to you from Pismo Beach😊 I love to see other Californian knitters. I always feel like I'm the only one who lives in such a warm climate yet enjoys the coziness of knitting. Cheers!

[@SincerelyLizRose]

I'm glad Freya is feeling better and can carry on with her moose patrols. Can't wait to see the finished version of the magnificent polar bear sweater!

[@ARNECARLOS]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@SusanDuffield-t1y]

So excited for the knit along - Last year was my first knit along and I managed every day - 6 rows is do - able Yay Thankyou

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad you are joining!

[@monahoscheid]

Freya is so cute, I live watching sit the knit for a bit Looking forward to the knit along

[@lynnewillette2654]

Poor Carlos. I don’t think any of us could keep up with Arne. Carlos: pick up my stitches and check my work, my dear - sounds like MY husband asking me sweetly could you just look at this and fix my knitting for me? I smiled when I heard you say this because it sounded so familiar to me. That sounds so cute, you talking about Freya. I loved it. Yes, we should buy other makers’ things to support the industry. You two are so pleasing to watch and listen to your interaction with each other. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@sabrinalafargue1116]

😂not me either 😂

[@juliefrench1392]

So glad we are doing another stocking the last one was so much fun ❤

[@TheKYMathie]

I had no idea Carlos was also a member of "Team Snail!" Your Norwegian style knitting and purling tutorials have increased my knitting speed a bit, so thank you very much! Love to watch you both.

[@blalbert6584]

Love the idea of a knit along in November. I joined the American Cancer Society’s knitting every day in November fundraiser so it’s nice to have a project to do everyday!

[@noelleparris9451]

Carlos: It is NOT a knitting competition!!! Or a competition of ANY kind! Just enjoy your knitting!!! Don't compare yourself or your knitting with anyone or anyone else's work. Comparisons are odious 🙂 The only comparison that counts, that makes any sense, is when you compare yourself right now to yourself at another time. But as long as you are happy with your work (your knitting) that is ALL that matters ❤

[@ARNECARLOS]

❤️❤️

[@lornawilbore106]

Thank you for your lovely chats. Love hearing about your career paths and your journey to this point.

[@MD-gw9kj]

Glad to hear about another stocking knit along. I joined you for last years was able to keep up with the 6 rounds a day, finishing in time for my grand son’s first Christmas. We welcomed another grandson this spring and he will also need a Christmas stocking, so I will be joining you daily in November! It was so much fun last year, blindly knitting without knowing what the pattern would looks like, it’s kinds of like waited till the baby is finally born to get when you finally get to see who was kicking in mom’s belly the past month.

[@ARNECARLOS]

❤️

[@sarawhitley-kinzett221]

Oooh lovely, a sock project thank you x

[@nataliealexander7457]

A fun episode; I think I'll try to knit along this year. Last year I followed sporadically, and downloaded on last free day for it. Enjoy your casts always!

[@timothybeard2671]

Thank you for repeating the stocking KAL. It was a joy last year and I know it will be even more so a second time around. Can’t wait for Nov 1. Super cuddles to Freda.

[@robynsmith4352]

❤❤❤ I enjoyed last year’s stocking KAL! I’m all ready to start with Rowan yarn 🧶👍. It was so much fun.

[@JGC5286]

Clock change helpful Rhyme I use to remember is: AUTUMN = “FALL BACK” (leaves fall from trees)and SPRING = FORWARD(a spring goes forwards when released). We were taught this at my Boarding school in Uk when we first started. I still say it to myself each time clocks change. ( in my 60’s now!) Very handy way to know what the clocks are changing to. Hopefully others might find helpful too. Looking forward to knit along with you both this year. Thank you both for gifting us a new one this year. Very kind of you. Enjoy your travels too.

[@sarahchang2835]

Love your sit and knit for a bits! Have followed you for a long time and you have bought much joy to my life thank you.

[@terrimccaskill2954]

The squishy mail arrived today! ❤. I am ready for the KAL 🎉🎉

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad you are joining!

[@kadairh]

Thank you, that was a lovely catch-up with lots in it! Looking forward to the knit-along, have lots of wool from all the Christmas balls I’ve knitted in the past! Enjoy the cruise, and great seeing Freya so well ❤

[@victoriapowell404]

Carlos…. “These two dolls and the clown having a party”…. 😂🤣😂 Falling off my chair laughing.

[@wendymooers7221]

Arne will have the best dressed dolls in town. I wish to sew or crochet some doll clothes here myself. Wish me luck. My doll is 15 inches. I need to look for some patterns. I can remember sewing in the 70’s on my grandmothers non electric- treadle type sewing machine. I still have it. I need to get that thing up and running !!! That would be super cool

[@beth12svist]

I'm now picturing an artwork, a diptych of two trees, one a mulbery with crows, and one a rowan with magpies. 😃

[@claudiarepp4471]

I am looking forward to the KAL. Thanks for your kindness charing the new pattern and your time with us. Stay well. Greetings from Germany

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad you are joining!

[@tammyselbo132]

lol Half a hat and no clothes OH MY 😂. Going on KZbin and finding you too makes my day

[@aliasDMMc]

😂😂😂 Carlos you made my day…..you are great….i love how sure you are about a topic and than start rethinking your own thoughts. In the next minutes no one can follow your theories but everybody is happy at the end of this process❤

[@noelleparris9451]

I think it´s beautiful that you still support other makers and will buy knit garments despite being perfectly capable of making just about anything yourselves. That kind of community is a lovely thing. I knit because Iove yarn, I love combining colors, I love the process of seeing fabric form. Products are secondary for me. I think you two are great ambassadors for the craft.

[@ARNECARLOS]

😍😍

[@fionasansom4446]

Fantastic, thank you Carlos for working the time’s out. It’s always a joy to sit with you both. I shall order the yarn and prepare for your knit along really looking forward to it as I have never participated before.

[@deborahalchin3360]

Carlos it’s do lively that you work out all the details for us! Can’t wait for November

[@KateColors]

I always thought a crazy quilt had embroidery on it; at least, it was in the 60's. The dresses are very pretty.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@marygrouse8004]

Freya is so cute, glad to hear she’s doing better.

[@kathyperron4976]

Last year's knitalong was my favorite knitalong ever! I am looking forward to this year's version!

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad to hear you are joining!

[@loria.02139]

I’m so happy the knit along is in November! I am a slow knitter, too. I finished last year’s stocking in April. 😂 Maybe I’ll finish this stocking by Christmas. 🤞

[@lottesroom]

OMG, Carlos! Just let people find out the time difference themselves 😀

[@misslizziep8439]

Laughing about your time mix up. I’m in Australia and have just returned from Broken Hill and surrounds in western NSW. It’s a very isolated area and we were jumping in and out of the two time zones. In the end we were even more confused than Carlos! Thank you for the laugh.

[@susanteminsky1078]

Good thing it's not a knitting race. I'm with you, Carlos! Careful, mindful knitting is therapy. Awe, sweet and lucky Freya! What a life! Your crazy quilt and doll clothes sewing is so inspirational. I miss those paper patterns. I'm doing a hexagon pillow and Barbie clothes along with knitting a very challenging Irish inspired blanket and a Christmas stocking. I live in creative chaos too. I hope you can come close to Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Thank you for your music recommendation! The KAL will be so fun in all the savings time zones😵‍💫🤪Safe travels!!

[@susannicholson9899]

Love the jumpers/sweaters. Thank you for having a different wall in the background, I couldnt watch the other video as i have a phobia/fear of clowns but i enjoyed watching this video very much thank you. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching!

[@heidiphillips6866]

I just ♥️♥️ you two! I hope you make it to Southern California on your tour next year 🤩. Love your doll clothes, Arne!

[@BeautifulOaks]

😂. Thank you, both for some good laughs with you. ...the clown is a nice clown, just doing it’s best to make you laugh and be at ease. It’s a good painting. This is coming from someone who does not generally like clowns. Your projects are cool and playful. Carlos, your knit hat is looking good. We can not rush good work. The saying goes, “ if you want it bad, you get it bad.” I think, I will took to buy that pattern. Glad to hear Freya is doing alright.

[@ARNECARLOS]

❤️❤️

[@Tunguskachinga]

The hat looks great so far Carlos! Looking forward to seeing the finished product! Enjoy your trip! Vi ses!

[@janetshepherd9062]

Love the Dolly Parton things on your shelves! Love the ideas in your crazy quilt!

[@debbieevans7276]

Maybe we can start a turtle knitting group. I haven't knitted in several years and now that I am finding my way back. . . I feel quite confident Carlos we would be neck and neck with a high probability of you getting to the finish line first!

[@mariabell7574]

Love your videos and the interesting podcasts, you guys are the best!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@sherinylund1659]

I am about to begin my own polar bear hat! Love the pattern and looking forward to the sweater pattern.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Happy knitting!

[@janetshepherd9062]

Love the hat

[@karenaskinas1135]

Carlos, your hat is beautiful! I love the knitting plans for morning, afternoon and evening knitting. I have a crazy Quilt from my grandma with scraps of fabric from dresses she made for me and my sisters when we were little and dresses she used to wear. I love it and remembering all The dresses. I will see you in Nashville!😊

[@ARNECARLOS]

😍😍

[@carolellenwood2922]

Oh goody,thank you for moving the KAL up to November!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome, thank you for joining!

[@beverlyness7954]

I can't wait for the full tour of Arne's studio. I think it would be fun to give it name beyond 'Arne's Studio'. I love the music of Eivor and Mari Boine. I had the opportunity to meet Mari. She was visiting the Nordic Center in Oregon. I have a picture of her with me, my cousin, sister and daughter. You would have thought we were cousins we look so much alike. My grandmother was Sami and both my parents were full Norwegian - DNA say's I'm 98% Norwegian. Thanks for all the show and tell, I really enjoy seeing the projects you guys are creating. One day I hope to be on one of the northbound cruises.

[@tracycushman4836]

Thank you so much for doing another stocking. I needed a second to make a pair for my husband and myself.❤

[@valeriecalderon2993]

Just love you guys!

[@judithstrenio9552]

Carlos! Not only is it not a knitting competition, it's also not a cooking competition. (But if it were, you would definitely be the winner.)

[@janetdubbelman6389]

I really enjoyed this the daylight-saving times made me laugh so much We are in Aus and In summer time LOL a whole new time to work out

[@ARNECARLOS]

😅

[@fairfaxhillstudio]

Carlos, I totally relate, I can never figure out the time difference either! Watching you try to figure it out made me feel better -- I'm not alone in this. Freya is super cute. 🙂

[@nancywagner1510]

Laughed all the way through the whole time-change monologue by Carlos, because I have to go through the same mental gymnastics every six months when the time changes! Bad enough that we have to change, but the fact that then we’re out of sync with the rest of the world….! I have friends in Europe AND Brazil so I’m constantly confused. Loved Arne’s “now let me make you feel really bad….” Pretty funny how you envy your dog’s life while everyone watching envies YOURS! Thank you so much for the new stocking KAL; this year I’m prepared and already have the yarn. To the loo!

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad you are joining!

[@beth12svist]

At least I'm also at CET so I don't have to worry about the time change shenanigans. 🙂 That was amusing! And relatable. And Mari Boine!!!

[@nathalieslachmuylders]

Question: I was wondering if the knit-along stocking could also be knit in just 2 colours (I wanted to use 2 balls of cloud dancer + 2 balls of ribbon red). Looking forward to participating, it would be my first time. I so enjoyed the advent episodes last year, and have been hoping it would be repeated this year. Greetings from Ireland!

[@jancy1609]

I love that you are doing your knit along in Nov, can’t wait :)

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad you are joining!

[@cherylg.813]

Happy late Sunday! So glad to see Freja today. I imagine she enjoys Arne's new room, so she can look out over the grounds and stay on guard! 😂 I am looking forward to another KAL, even though I haven't started the 2024 stocking that I got back in July! I have my wool and I'm ready to start knitting! Have a fabulous week! ❤❤🤗😘

[@gailgaddy5340]

Fun fun Carlos you made me laugh so hard I dont care for clowns either, Arne, i love your doll clothes they are beautiful thanks for the video,❤

[@hollyrust2174]

Oh my goodness, I just love listening and watching you two while I work on my projects. You two are so fun, so funny and so inspirational with all the projects you do. I do have to agree with Carlos on the clowns and the dolls - a bit creepy but I would love one day if you are podcasting again from Arne’s Studio to have a virtual tour, please! So fun to me to see the spaces in which people we admire create and work! Thanks again for the chuckles and the company!

[@virginiaotten8216]

I'm with Arne when it comes to figuring out time zones! 😅 We will see when we get there! 😅

[@Cyberfairy6]

I love you guys so much. thank you for sharing

[@milesf7604]

8:20 Great job on the polar bear hat, Carlos. Such enviable tension! I hope that pattern is available in your shop 🧶😄

[@treeinthenorth918]

Still working on my Save the children sweater, now all the good laughs and joy from this sakfab are woven in. Looking forward to the knit along!

[@sandravt2168]

Could you tell me more about that? I only know about the Save the Children Scarf (called 'ein Schal fürs Leben' here in Germany).

[@SavvySilvers]

I love when Carlos talks about Arne's creative chaos. lol. I hope you know you're making our day. Where can we purchase sweaters and things you two have made? I saw your patterns on the website.

[@carolfaber585]

When Freya started to get down from Carlos’s lap, and Arne was reaching down for something, I couldn’t help but notice that he and Freya have the same hairstyle! 😂

[@conniehaeseley8004]

❤

[@marilyn9155]

Gorgeous sweaters. I’d love to be able to knit like this. Oh God - you guys are funny . Love the shades in the polar bear piece-cannot wait to see it finished! Awwww, Freya sounds so adorable ..and smart. Ah those fortunate well- dressed dolls! This was fun ! ❤ xx

[@MaryaPawl]

So glad to hear you will come to USA next year. And to hear about the KAL, I love those cheery Rowan colors! I do like the idea to start Nov 1st so as to finish in time for Holidays. So generous of you to offer the pattern free. Thank you! -Mary

[@gingermolinero8386]

Arne and Carlos I’m looking forward to the knit along and wonderful seeing Freya

[@lfpetrock]

😂 I'm laughing so hard right now at the struggle with the time change. It drives me crazy every 6 months. I use my phone clock now where I have London time, Oslo, and Tucson, AZ, USA . It saves the little gray cells in the brain Carlos. 😊 So much on tonight's podcast and I enjoyed it very much.

[@sydneykasmar]

It's amazing how our brains winds around and gets twisted with time zones. They challenge me any time of year. You have stamia Carlos. It's gqreat the way you stuck with it.

[@HeatherODonnell-hv6ez]

Just discovered: spinning on my stationary bike with your Sunday visit and giggling at your stories. Love it. Trying mitetored squares now.

[@SilverSithWitch]

So glad to hear you've discovered Eivør. She's an amazing talent!

You both and Freja ("moose! moose!") are so entertaining. Spending time with you has made this weekend so much happier :) A million thanks 😊♥

[@angelwild5665]

Lol! I loved your shtick. I am knitting the month of November, anyway, so it will be fun to sit and knit with everyone. Take Care!

[@janecornell4890]

I love those sweaters! They are my kind of sweaters! You two are too funny! I needed a laugh today! Oh to cruise with you! I wish I could but can't so make sure you take lots of pictures. Our Bentley doesn't like to take his pills. You'll love this Arne. My daughter bought marshmallows for him to take them. He is like Carlos. He won't have anything to do with the marshmallows. On the other hand, Blue who tends to gain a bit loves them! She like Arne loves his marshmallows! Have you seen the quilts that are both fabric and crochet? It's interesting. How giant is the doll's closet? Lucky girl! Yay another stocking!!! I am not scared of making socks thanks to you!!! Off to order my yarn,!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad you are joining!

[@janecornell4890]

I sent for my yarn. It was hard to find a store with all three colors but I searched and luckily found. I am hoping that this stocking will be more masculine. Last year’s went to my daughter. I want this one for her boyfriend!

[@debbiekoehnen]

[@patriciamura6049]

Thanks .It’s very nice that you are doing the knitting alone early this year. Being from NewZealand I had to finish last year’s sock at the last minute because we have Christmas 12 hours earlier .
