Your finishing of the old embroidery is sooooo beautiful, Arne!

[@dianebrown4559]

You are so right Carola! . . . I was amazed when Arne unfolded the fabric and showed us what he had done! Arne . . . AMAZING! Using the houndstooth pattern is something I never would have thought to do; very, very clever and eye-catching!

[@donnaokeefe6463]

You guys are so funny

[@StormsEnd1604]

Another engaging “half hour” with you two. I can’t decide which of the stories was funnier - Arne buying enough fish for six months or the neighbour stuck in the trash palace!!! It is so good to have a laugh these days. The houndstooth pattern on the vintage cushion project is amazing. I would never have thought of that!!! ❤️ from 🇨🇦

You make beautiful and interesting crafts. From South Africa I Just love watching your Chanel, always great ideas. Thank you for your podcast. Blessings to you both

[@TheSabinewalkden]

Such an entertaining time with you both! The story with the fish then the neighbour getting shut in the shed. Life is never dull with you two. Thank you for brightening my day.

[@carolinegetman2720]

In this crazy world we are all in it’s really nice to see you two have so much fun in everything you do. The ability to put smiles on our faces doesn’t come easy for everyone but you both have a genuine talent. Thank you for sharing that with all of us. We know by the end of your podcasts we will have had some laughs and just a most enjoyable time.❤️. (The garbage palace tale was hilarious!!)

[@pegross8652]

"Let's just do it; we only live once"--loved the fish truck story!!

[@debbieconstable]

Thanks for all the laughs! “Couldn’t you hear me screaming?!” I’ll be giggling about this for days! 😂

[@jenniferjohnson9335]

I LOVE what Arne is doing with the embroidery! It looks great. I get such enjoyment hearing about your simple and lovely Norwegian life. Love hearing about Freja and Helmer (Moose-moose!) and I squealed when I saw your knitted poodles! I may have to knit a replica of my grandpup Shelby. Thanks for sharing with us. Can't wait for the daily Spring podcast! Stay well.

[@laurahess2109]

You two are the Norwegian equivalent of Seinfeld! When you make stories about everyday occurrences so funny. Love your sit and knits!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@LKRoss-ur7xv]

OMG I'm laughing so hard at the garbage story because this also happened to me! I live in a condo (in So. Burlington, Vermont) and one day I was putting the garbage and recycling in the shed provided when a big gust of wind came and the door slammed shut and there was no way to open it from the inside. Luckily there are windows with screens on the shed so I started screaming bloody murder and very quickly a nice man came by and let me out. So embarrassing -- but funny!

[@christinatassell2881]

My dad was an amazing embroiderer, his work was the same on both back and front!

[@ccsullivan9164]

Just two words for you both: crab cakes. Arne’s laughter makes me laugh! The trash chateau is classic...I too am a collector of ‘found’ UFOs and a few years ago found yarn for a needlepoint rug in a beautiful burgundy. For the price of eight skeins I had enough yarn for three sweaters. Cabled! Thank you for your hard work in keeping us engaged and hopeful. It’s been lovely spending time with you.

[@ARNECARLOS]

😍

[@pennypark9070]

I love the black and white houndstooth embroidery, the garbage palace story, the Norwegian half hour, the dogs, the ‘bloody zoom meetings’, the fish van story. Thanks for so much fun. I’m glad you were able to have Erik and Anna visit you. 👋

[@sherylkrohne3683]

Another super podcast! The stories were so funny this week, I could hardly knit Colorwork while listening. Arnie obviously loves crab! Love the knitted poodles and your real poodles. I have a silver standard (large size) poodle and he was black as a little puppy. The Blue ones are also. Both get lighter as they mature. Silver looks gray. Thanks again, and really looking forward to the spring podcasts.

[@jennyturner3821]

I love that you finish other people's UFOs! I have my Grandma's UFOs. It brings a lot of fond memories picking up where she left off. She taught me how to crochet and I feel so much love finishing her work.

[@susiepaunan7190]

Thank you for being a bright spot in my week. Enjoy sitting and knitting with you for a bit.

[@marianakkerboom2977]

We got a new dog. Because our old one died two weeks ago. And when your Knit for a bit is on its time for walking with her. She reminds us of Freja. She is very energetic and she is called Jilly. So we have to watch you later. I adore your poodles. Especially the pink one. I am sure the other two will be as cute when they are finished. What a story about your neighbour lady! And the fish Arne bought. Laughing. I know a person who would do similar things like Arne did, I imagine he would exactly the same in that situation. Thanks for making the start of my day so bright with your wonderful stories. Looking forward to watch the eggs knitting stories.

[@smokiencooper4264]

The garbage palace story was hysterical! Thanks for the laugh! Loved it! 🤣🤣🤣

[@jalexander5801]

OMG the garbage palace story!!! My husband thinks I am nuts because of the laughter coming out of my craft room. Thank you, we all need a good laugh to keep us healthy.

[@kabeidler]

Hi Arne and Carlos! You guys are endlessly entertaining. I can hardly wait to watch after you post. This one was especially funny and sweet. You will make me into a knitter yet - the poodle is ADORABLE and I love the Easter items you are making. Instead of knitting I will use your designs in my quilting. Arne, Nancy Drew was a huge favorite of mine growing up. I often think about those books and now you have me thinking about reading one again. So cool that you are going through the whole series. Love to you both. I'm going to rewatch this one for sure. Thanks for the dose of happiness.

[@pamelabubeck491]

Love, love, love the houndstooth! I've been working off and on the past ten years (!) on my mother's stash. It can be very rewarding!

[@carmenjarvis-rose6998]

watching and knitting ..........I ran dog team for 7 days straight and today was very cold here.......decided to take a day and be home and enjoy........binge watching your shows......thank you

[@ARNECARLOS]

We hope you are having a good time!

[@KaringOne]

Love spending the “Norwegian half hour ” with you both and looking forward to seeing you every day for the Spring Podcast!

[@barbaraskakle3536]

Listening to you two gives me so much joy. I was rolling around with laughter at the garbage (we would say rubbish here in England!) palace incident and the buying of so much fish. :) Your embroidery is looking fabulous Arne. When you said you were going to do black and white on it I though “What?” but it looks amazing. I love charity shops too so keep bringing back those gems. Sadly all our non-essential shops are all closed currently.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@mcmofsc]

Arne is having a conversation with the maker artist to artist. Fascinating how we respond to art in others and in ourselves. Thanks guys! Enjoyed another week.

[@helenmawdsley4988]

That garbage story, the giggles, oh my goodness. I lost my place in my knitting listening to that 😅 Looking forward to the Knitted Eggs KAL. I have made a wooden egg holder, to hold the egg once they are knit. What a lovely project to do as spring rolls in. Thank-you!!

[@suzannehoyer1614]

I just ❤ love you two! Arne your "old blind lady" UFO is turning out gorgeous, cant wait to see it finished. Looking forward to next week! See you then 👋

[@drayner2517]

....”the bloody zoom meetings....” ! I’m sure that’s a sentiment that thousands share!

[@denisehayes195]

Love the houndstooth background, makes the cushion much more interesting. Thank you for making our lives so much brighter, we are still locked down here in Wales but the end is nigh😁 looking forward to next week❤️

[@deborahflint9571]

Can’t wait for the Easter knit along , I loved the Christmas one, the stories you both tell make it so “magical” . Love to you both xx

[@KKnits]

I loved seeing the houndstooth on the vintage embroidery! It very beautiful. So very enjoyable to see and hear you! That was an eventful week, yummy fish, and your poor neighbour’s fiasco in the trash palace! I love how you both find the humour in your days. The felted balls look fabulous! I’m really looking forward to the daily podcast with the egg knit along! Cheers!🇨🇦

[@lindapearson3340]

I have not laughed so hard for a very long time so thank you for the story about the neighbor who was locked into the garbage house. Your stitching Arne is so beautiful. Can not wait to see you everyday again and here your stories.

[@lindahenderson2987]

Thanks so much for all the laughter and smiles. Another great conversation!!!!!

[@maryanneanderson8902]

As always, I love,love,love your videos and i laughed so hard... I am so sorry your friend was stuck in the garbage chateaux...but it reminded me of one of the I love Lucy series when Lucy and Ethel got stuck in the walk in cooler. Looking forward to all the new things coming. Thank you for sharing and helping so many get through these times 🥰🙏🏼💫❣️ again ,so sorry your friend got stuck .🥰

[@yvonnemiller6048]

I love your Sit and Knit Vlog every week. I don't always watch on Wednesday but save it for an hour of uninterrupted knitting on the weekend.. I laughed so hard at the story of the neighbor in the Garbage Palace, poor thing. If she had her phone with her she could have called you to get her out! I look forward to your Spring videos even though I won't be doing your eggs. I so enjoy your stories about Norway, it's history and how you continue to carry on the traditions. We live in Washington State where there is a large Nordic population. I know that you have done events at the National Nordic Center in Seattle and hope to see you there at some point. Thank you again for the joy you bring to the knitting communities around the world.

[@ellen4284]

Thank you for another entertaining "half hour" !! Your life stories are so awesome. I settle down with my tea and hook or needles and listen to you. It's as if I am sitting across the table from you. I love the fish story - maybe it's a wide-mouth bass ? Laughed so hard I cried at the garbage palace story. So glad your neighbour has a good sense of humour! Looking forward to next week! Take care and stay well. :)

[@klaskelangford8324]

That needlework is amazing! Beautiful!

[@anjakieboom5132]

what a beautiful shaded embroidered pattern around the flowers... i sat here "AAAAWWWWW" awesome!!!!!!

[@barbkenney5843]

The houndstooth background on the flowers is absolutely fabulous. The other day, when you shared the idea, I thought your idea was ...quite odd. I was wrong . Now I know why you two are the designers . Smile. Thanks for all the creative inspiration always!

[@paulam.5785]

You guys are killing me. I can't stop laughing about your poor neighbor in the garbage palace. 😅😅😅

[@suegraham4323]

I’m with you!! 🤣

[@clrose79]

Me too

[@csp3190]

I love Norwegian Time. Sooo much gets squeezed into "thirty" minutes. We should all live on Norwegian Time. And the houndstooth against the flowers on the cushion cover -- magnificent. I would never, never have thought it would work, but it is breathtaking. Which is why you are the designers and I'm the admirer. LOL

[@ARNECARLOS]

It is very flexible!

[@reneegencur2469]

All of the plants gave a wonderful spring feeling to this episode. I think the houndstooth background looks great on that adopted ufo. All of the projects you showed - mega Magnus, the poodles and the felted ornaments - are so adorable! Thanks for an enjoyable episode!

[@lindatuffin6479]

I am so glad that the 2 of you can pop in for a chat and coffee. Had a good laugh today about Arne’s fish buying and the neighbours garbage shed escapade. Thank you for brightening up the day.😂😂

[@paulagrnsy]

The houndstooth background is wonderful!

[@kellyw250]

So lovely to feel so connected to you all. Personally, in the last year, instead of excuses, I've learned to own the statement, "zoom wears me out, as part of self-care I'm declining zooms." It's liberating, honest and authentic. Take good care of yourselves!!!

[@kathykeller3430]

I love the houndstooth on your needlework project. I would never have thought to add a pattern like that to a floral needlework picture. I guess that's why you're the designers! :) The result is stunning. Your poor neighbor, what a thing to have happen! When you mentioned that it could never happen to you because of the dog's leash I thought you could get a strip of leather and hang one end on a hook outside the door on the doorframe. When you open the door and go in, take the strip and hook it on the inside of the doorframe so it acts as a wedge between the frame and the door if the door were to blow closed again. A thought?? Take care guys.

[@shelleylowe7698]

Oh my!! Laughing so hard at your stories! Your “trash palace” construction sounds like my husband’s creation of our chicken coop, which got more and more elaborate as it went along. We christened it “the Chick Mahal” when he finished, and our chickens had to learn how to turn on a landing between two ramps...very fancy! Thank you for keeping us entertained throughout these troubling times!

[@ingridterbeek]

OMG, I couldn’t stop laughing about the neighbour in the garbage palace...😂😆🤣 And I love the mouse, it’s amazing in that big size. Looking forward to the daily Spring podcasts, I have the eggs patterns and my yarn ready.

[@helpsavethekittys]

I have a bunch of lovely ufos of my mom's. She was very busy starting new projects but never finishing..I can never do the work she did and wish I could find someone to complete them.. arne is a sweetheart to finish and appreciate someone's projects. Love you guys.❤️

[@janikabertone5566]

In America I think the fish you described is called a big mouth bass. This video was too funny. I love the "garbage palace" story. I had to stop what I was doing to wipe the tears from laughing. Arne the hound tooth background is just gorgeous! I have finished two of those flower needlepoint from my box full of UFO's I bought and have two more to to. I might have to do that pattern on the next two. You inspire me. I am cross stitching a Christmas table cloth out of that box of stuff, so instead of knitting Easter balls I will listen an finish that. Carlos you as Freja is a good analogy. Love you both for doing these videos. The balls at the end are beautiful.

[@mariavillegas4218]

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🥰🥰🥰 you really are wonderful!!!! And fun and great!!! Thank you for keep us laughing so much!!! Love you both!!!!

[@misspeacchy]

Your stories are fabulous. I am having a hard time drinking my oolong tea because I'm laughing so much! The trash palace story is priceless. Maybe instead of a 3rd lock a latch that attaches to the building might work to keep the door open. Oh my, fish for months! You could write a cookbook. Six months of fish dinners. The houndstooth on the roses will be beautiful. I haven't seen poodles like those you knitted in many years. They are adorable.

[@donnafink6262]

The garbage story was hilarious! The vase of peony flowers are beautiful. I love the checkered background for the flowers. I am looking forward to your stories and eggs. You are both a delight. Thank you.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad you liked it

[@gwilymeades]

Omg the “garbage house” story is a classic! 🤣🤣🤣 I love how hilarious it is to think of this situation.

[@shirleyhanson6132]

Oh, Arne, the houndstooth with the rescued embroidery is gorgeous! I have to admit , when you first desrubed it, I couldn't "see" it. Guess that's why you and Carlos are the artistic designers that you are!

What a fun episode , I love what you have done with the floral UFO. You have a gifted eye for art. I'm looking forward to the egg knit along.

[@knittingmother]

I love the houndstooth pattern. I remember the first sewing pattern I made was for a dress for my little sister. It was black and white houndstooth, and we both loved the way it turned out. I totally sympathize with the trash problem. Around here, there are some people who just throw their trash out of the car windows as they ride by, and it ends up at the edge of our yard. Our garbage men wouldn't pick it up either, so many times I - or my husband - will have to walk out and pick it up and discard or recycle. Argghhhh! Our young grandchildren get upset and want us to do SOMETHING, but what is there to do . . . just clean it up. That's better than screaming in the garage palace, ha ha! And, the fish story had me howling!

[@sylviasanchez-freitas3455]

Simple beginnings are the best. Lovely pink flowers. It's nice to hear someone else's stories. 😊

[@123uschie]

[@carolyncampbell6149]

What a delightful video. I love that Arne is finishing the tapestries and seems so emotionally connected to them. Also it has reminded me that I have yarn and fabric and I need some cushion covers! My granddaughter is called Freya! Thankyou both very much - looking forward to 17th March (St Patrick’s Day). Xx

[@ARNECARLOS]

See you soon!

[@britdowson8324]

Always a pleasure spending time with you guys! Looking forward to knitting some new eggs for Easter! Woo Hoo!! Went to the Merch page on your website, and saw that you have lots of new stuff! I must've missed the memo about that, but it's all sorted and will be on its way soon enough. Love the new design with Helmer in the family pic now. ❤️ and the mask fabric design is super fun! 😷 The 'Trash Palace' story was very good. Your poor neighbor 😂 Glad it all worked out okay in the end. Thanks for sitting and knitting, or should I say 'spinning a yarn' (telling a story) with us. Love it! Much love to you all and give the doggies some love for us. ❤️🐶🐶

[@judithchambers-randell5718]

Excellent stories and you are great story tellers! Also can see how hard you work for us - thank you. Looking forward to watching knit along as still a left handed non-knitter so will watch and crochet along very, very slowly.

[@kathleenmaloney4255]

Arne and Nancy Drew. Of course. What a delight.

[@tinajohnston2736]

Great episode today! :) I was the person who also collects unfinished objects. I saw that you mentioned maybe me?? I pick up the unfinished objects just like Arne does. During the last few years we have found that when we can go out at all antique stores, and charity shops are open and with only a few customers so my husband and I go and fine inexpensive things (way cheaper than online shopping) that are fun, inspirational and keep us sane! I have found mostly embroidery projects that are unfinished from the 50's-70's. I have never found any needlepoint projects but would love it if I could. I also pick up old knit/crochet and lacemaking books and pamphlets. I talk about them sometimes on a youtube channel I share with my partner Kelli Slack (BlackSheep Fiber Emporium).

[@fwhite8348]

Hello guys! The 'Garden Mouse' is adorable! Well, so are the poodles! Oh my, just charming! When you talk about washing them, is that before you stuff them? What fun to have a Freya size knitted poodle. Eeek, dreamy! How about a huge Helmer wool poodle? Nice to watch you this week. Happy to hear all of you are well.🤗

[@olgareads9107]

I love your stories. The garbage palace and the fish buy stories were so funny. I look forward to visiting with you each week, as I sit and knit for a bit.

[@folkartjane]

Love love love 😍 the UFOs & the poodles! I'm a poodle person & can't wait to make one like my poodle Petey. So cute! Stories had me belly laughing! Seafood is so fast & easy you will have more time to knit & create! Blessings

[@folkartjane]

Fish & veg tossed in olive oil & spices put on cookie sheet pop in oven. Boom dinner. So easy Arne can do! 😋

I love hanging out w you virtually & listening to your conversations! You definitely have soothing storytelling super powers! 💞plus your "30 minutes" are an hour which is fabulous!!! great masks too, will be ordering some 😷the houndstooth on the needlework UFO is stunning! the poodles are super cute 😍 OMG your poor neighbour getting stuck in the garbage palace! I'm glad she got out ok, too funny 🤣 I think the big-mouthed angler fish is a monkfish

[@p.kubalek9404]

i watched your decision making for the background of Arne's UFO petit point thrift find and was appalled. Today when I saw the ongoing project I was amazed. Thank you so much for opening my eyes. I love you two. From 🇨🇦

[@joanwootton9388]

Loved this podcast. I replayed parts for my husband and son. Our son and his toy poodle, Kazushi, are living with us at our cabin by the lake as he goes through chemo. We have never had a poodle and everything you said about Freya reminded us of Kazushi. Then you told us about the dogs barking at the people on the lake and we all laughed because that is what Kazushi and our dog Kai do when they see people on our lake. We are constantly reminding them that we do not own the lake! Loved seeing the moose on a previous podcast. We had a moose on our doorstep this winter too. Such a treat!

[@amyedmans4894]

It's so true that limitations spur creativity! You think you need everything, but it's really creating something from nothing that is so creative.

[@mamiearmaly1133]

Thanks for the laughs and your company! Loved the "Norweigan 1/2 hr " that allowed me to finish knitting a pair of socks with the Arne & Carlos Mountains & Fjords yarn

You are very welcome!

[@tommyebravo8878]

I always look forward to listen to your creative ideas. Like listening to friends. 😊

[@salliehogancamp998]

I love the houndstooth around the flowers! It really gives it a modern touch.

[@kimrouke3658]

When I was a little girl, I remember my mother doing needlepoint (what you are calling embroidery). She would purchase "commenced needlepoint". That means someone has already done the picture in the middle, such as the flowers on the project you just showed us, and you would purchase yarn to do the background. It was easy to needlepoint: no pattern or color changes, just a simple stitch in one color. Very calming.

[@ARNECARLOS]

It is a relaxing activity!

[@trinabuitenwerf6375]

Such a fabulous tribute to honour and complete someone elses work. I think it's lovely to learn the history and perhaps pay homage to the original crafter. Perhaps her family will see it? It may interest you to know there's a local man here in Alberta Canada who makes a living clearing hoarder houses - he always uncovers a life story, and we learn wonderful insights to the original artisan. One was a musician, the other a potter, and both ladies' legacies are beyond their hoarding, as we know about their lifes passions and intent. So you never know, while finishes those stitch work patterns you may learn an interesting history and be able to share another story. Thanks again for your ease and sharing.

[@maryalgar8779]

Love the hounds-tooth Arne --- great choice to give it lots of interest!

[@sylviapage8572]

These sit and knit videos are hilarious. I can’t even knit but I have decided that I must learn so I can take part. The story about the neighbour brought tears to my eyes. I can’t decide if it’s better for strangers to use your bins for rubbish or the back of your palace for a toilet! Have you thought about using a hook for the palace door so it can’t blow shut? That’s what we use on our allotment shed.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Ooh, thank you for the suggestion!

[@ruthkoons6234]

You are both the greatest 😊🧶👏so much fun to visit with you each week🙋🏼‍♀️

[@margaretw2318]

You guys made me laugh so much in this episode. The trash palace, the seafood buying spree. Thanks!

[@melineyschulz9286]

Thank you for the enjoyable podcast, Arne and Carlos! You guys are great and I so look forward to sitting and knitting with you. Arne, I have a collection of Nancy Drew books from my childhood back in the 1960's. You inspired me, so I re-read the first one, "The Secret of the Old Clock." It was fun to read again after so many years!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Glad to hear!

[@janemichie3462]

So lovely to listen to you today and lots of giggles as usual! Loving the embroidery - I have a half finished needlepoint of my Mother's. Got me thinking, I might change the background too. Wish I had you as neighbours keeping me smiling. Thank you.

[@kathygoodman6159]

Another wonderful visit with you guys. It tickles me so much when you get to laughing about something. I'm really looking forward to the daily episodes. Hugs from Virginia.
