A tour of ARNE & CARLOS vintage knitwear collection. Part 4

[@velmad3091]

These Norwegian sweaters are beautiful. Great that you still have them from your grandparents

[@thecatmont]

I don't just like these videos, I LOVE these videos, so intelligently done.

[@changeofscenery1]

love the blue one with the short sleeves…..I think am particularly fond of Arne’s grandmother’s sweaters

[@judyhbaker]

We used to make crochet buttons when I was a kid! The base for the button is a small plastic ring. (I think craft stores still carry different sizes of rings in small packages.) Put a slip knot on your crochet hook, insert the hook into the center of the ring from the front to the back, catch the yarn and pull it through to the front, then make a single crochet stitch on the outside edge of the ring. Repeat until the ring is covered. Leave a long tail of yarn to sew the button onto the sweater. But you can probably find a KZbin video about it that will explain everything more clearly than I have! Thank you for this wonderful tour.

[@cloveravery85]

Oh, oh, I'm so inspired to get out the needles. I'll have to start on a simple pattern as I can only manage plain, perl and cable. My grandmother used to knit these sort of patterns. Love you guys. I'm going to learn a lot from your channel. Bless you both. Your lives are beautiful and filled with quiet joy.

[@azinegg]

Oh my gents” these are right up my alley. I’m a big fan of vintage works. Appreciate so much your passions for giving these beautiful pieces some TLC.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@feezlfuzzl564]

My favorite was the white and grey one. I love these videos. Thank you for sharing your beautiful collection with us.

[@pamelaandrade6930]

JUST LOVE YOUR POD CASTS, LOVE YOU GUYS. HOW INTERESTING TO WATCH AND LEARN ABOUT YOUR VINTAGE WINTER COLLECTIONS.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Pamela!

[@marinawilkinson5840]

So looking forward to seeing more knits. You two are such lovely men 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@jenniferbringman9054]

I love Norwegian sweaters! Love the designs!

[@kimbaxley7595]

I love looking at all of these beautiful sweaters! Something I would love to see you do a video about is finishing these sweaters correctly adding the ribbon doing the kitchner stich the way you like to do it, knitting the bands on the inside around the sleeves, etc. If you already have this video I am just not there yet but making progress. :)

[@catemef6963]

I love watching this. Interesting family history, too. Thank you.

[@maryrichardson8790]

The jacket rescued from the attic has a beautiful pattern! Id wear that any day! 😊

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Mary!

[@PRoy-mc5hv]

Great! I hope you'll keep making these!

[@francestornese7252]

Thank you for another wonderful video. I love seeing all you sweaters. They're beautiful.

[@tanjapearce8796]

I watched this while finishing up my latest project and was surprised to see the same pattern I was just busy knitting - which was the unfinished cardigan and you mentioned you didn't know the name. The pattern I used was Sunnfjord Men's Cardigan by Sandnes Design. So nice to see your beautiful collection, hopefully some of my items will be as treasured in the future.

[@londonmist001]

Lovely collection of knitwear. Thanks for sharing. No knitting for me at the moment. I fell and have a broken bone in my right hand. So will be watching all your great videos over and over for the next few weeks.

[@annesmith3352]

Enjoyed looking at beautiful old knitwear the design on them is magnificent! And quality of yarn looks so new! Xx 😘

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you, wool keeps very well!

[@francesinglis6078]

Wonderful knitting, your have very talented grandparents Arne x

[@ARNECARLOS]

💗

[@Mindfulnessification]

Wow!!! I love seeing your sweater collection!

[@Blueberryminty]

I'm learning so much from these series

[@asenethluna703]

I could listen to you for ever...how wonderful is your knitting heritage safe keeping. I enjoyed this video greatly.thank you!!

[@bmwvintageprincess]

happy to fall on this channel. watching them in Quarantine

[@elizabethdelong6431]

Arne your grandmother’s unfinished sweater is beautiful and amazing! It is perfect !

[@denisejeffries2675]

Arne's Grandmother's red sweater was my favorite. I like the timeless, classic look. I also really appreciate cables! Thank you very much for sharing and explaining about each piece!

[@sheryltisdale]

Beautiful! What wonderful history! Really enjoyed, thank you

[@sujin012]

Thank you for sharing your deep knowledge and expertise with the world

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@shirleybeard2318]

It is enjoyable and very informative to see and hear your evaluations of the rich treasury of your archives. I am very partial to colourwork but found Arnie’s grandmother’s red sweater a true favorite. Not only is it knit in my favorite colour but it looks as if it was just knit. It is so good to hear you emphasize the enduring qualities of the yarn that will last for generations. Of course I understand the practical nature of cutting the sleeves of her jackets but my heart would be in my throat to take scissors to such beautiful knitting. Her workmanship has challenged me to improve my own to aspire to that level of skill and accomplishment. I could watch you discuss these pieces all day long. I’m glad to know there will be more like this one. Knit and be happy.

[@bendiehintz1175]

Love the old sweaters

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Bendie!

[@lisastanfield3108]

I love your “legacy” knits! That they’re either repairable and/or re-purposes and be continued to be used! Such an important attitude in this day and age of “throw away” garments! Thank you! Thoroughly enjoying your podcasts! 💖💖

[@ashimade]

Arne you have a great heritage of knitting in your family. It's lovely to revisit such precious things. It goes beyond the artefacts. It opens up a culture talk. Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed this episode.

[@pauladylan5388]

all the the cardigans are amazing!! i love them all!! thanks voor sharing!

[@annafdd]

Wow that art nouveau pot on the table is awesome. (I am watching while I practice my Norwegian knitting, which is getting easier and easier the more I do it).

[@ARNECARLOS]

Keep up the good work, one stitch at a time!

[@SuziQZ]

I love hearing the stories and seeing these pieces. Thanks guys💖

[@kathygoodman6159]

Arne, what a rich heritage you have! It's wonderful that you have all of these wonderful knitted items from your grandparents. I don't have anything but an afghan that my aunt had crocheted. I don't know how old it is or when she made it. My mom got it for me when my aunt passed away. I don't have anything else from my grandmother or my other aunts. It makes me so sad. Carlos, I look forward to seeing your beloved items from your mom. What a treasure you guys have! I'm a very sentimental person, so I really treasure these things. I like to give handmade gifts to people, and I hope they treasure them too. I know my mom treasures my counted cross stitch pieces. They are one of the few things that she brought to the nursing home with her almost 4 years ago now.

[@kat52218]

I love the vintage collection tours !!! I hope you plan to do more of them !!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you! We will do some more in the future.

[@sharonkeller7397]

Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful hand knit sweaters! I enjoy seeing and hearing about every single one. They are such treasures! :)

[@Paulaef2009]

What beautifully crafted knits! I enjoy hearing about your family and life on the farm in Norway. Your home is so lovely too. The plates on the wall, the plants, the sunlight through the window, and the primroses on the table all present such an inviting atmosphere.Thank you for sharing with us. Looking forward to your live broadcast on Monday.

[@bonitoclub]

I also love the sweaters you're both wearing! Look forward to seeing more from your knitwear archives...

[@KCNDreams]

Thank you so much for sharing the history on some of the designs! It's really fascinating. You have such a beautiful collection of knitwear, thanks for sharing!

[@christinelinn9250]

Good evening guys lovely to see you here. The workmanship in thesr sweaters you have shown us are amazing what a talent. I sit here with envy wishing I could knit like that. Arne your family were indead talented on both sides. I love listening to you both tell us the history of each jumper/cardigan. Have a good week both of you be good to each other and I look forward to seeing you both next Sunday. Take care x

[@elizabethnudd1982]

Thanks for showing us the sweaters that we would otherwise have had no access to. They are beautiful....look forward to seeing your mother s knitwear, Carlos !

[@inannashu689]

Beautiful collection.

[@martythomasg]

Will you make a video showing how you store your collecting of sweaters?

[@annapomorski5431]

Wow what beautiful artistic pieces you have. I just came across your videos and I have to say Im hooked. I cant say i am an knitter. I am more crochetier but sometimes i do a little knitting which cant be too complicated as I give up half way through. But have to say as I watch you do your stuff u are giiving me the bug.

[@Geospasmic]

Thanks to you guys, after two years of knitting I'm finally starting to get the hang of fair isle, I've only managed a few small swatches so far but they look somewhat decent. Someday I will tackle a cardigan!

[@nolamcneely7857]

Thank you! Wonderful as usual. I have some crochet of my grandmother and a very unusual embroidery my great aunt helped me start. Love hearing about your family Arne and can't wait to see Carlos mothers things soon😊

[@feezlfuzzl564]

Could we see a picture of the very unusual embroidery, if you want to share? Now I'm curious what is very unusual.

[@elizzievb]

Lovely sweaters gentlemen! Thank you! The sweater Carlos has on is just great. xo

[@merylehawkins464]

I am absolutely amazed at the workmanship of your beautiful knitwear. I am a knitter but I don’t think I could ever produce such beauty. We have great wool here in New Zealand where I live as we are a country of sheep, our merino wool is lovely and the possum wool that is being produced here is unbelievably soft and warm. I always knit with the best pure wool as I am not fond of the feel of acrylic yarn. You are both gorgeous men and thank you for your great videos.

[@Jennerwtx1]

I loved the grey jackets! The designs were beautiful. All the sweaters are beautiful and superbly knit...thanks for sharing them with us!

[@keturahspencer]

From my experience dealing with American knitters, they tend to gravitate toward cheap yarn and can sometimes be defensive when another knitter is critical of cheap yarn. Also, it's good to see families with knitting traditions.

[@laurienorton7422]

The "running horses" pattern and the vertical pattern with roses are my favorite. Love watching your videos! So informative and inspiring!

[@jennyweyman3039]

gorgeous knits.

[@mandyofmarymac]

Those sweaters are amazing! I wish that I'd paid closer attention to the ones that I saw when I visited your gorgeous country in 2003. :-)

[@nickilangewis4664]

Just lovely!

[@prudenceniedzwiecki8544]

I just watched your video on purling. It helped me so much. Thank you!❤

[@davidhensley76]

I like the black & grey striped one the best. As others have commented, when you talk about storing sweaters in the "outhouse" it makes me chuckle. I think the Norwegian word for what English speakers call an outhouse is "utedo".

[@ARNECARLOS]

David Hensley We know the difference between an outhouse and an outbuilding. The outhouse in question was in fact a toilet until it was repurposed into a little storage room, about 30 years ago. So we choose to call it by its original name. We also have a guest house that used to be used for washing clothes and bathing and which we still continue to call the bathhouse even though it is no longer used as a bathhouse, just a guest house 😊😊

[@pegpage8618]

Tusen takk - I love seeing the knitted pieces in your collections. So very beautiful.

[@brittarnhildsverden]

Åhhhhhhh, så my inspirasjon, og nå når det er sommer og hage og godvær er det jo så liten tid til å strikke.......

[@nelundtimmys.4032]

Hi! I love to see those vintage Knitwear!!!

[@7gloryf]

Beautiful sweaters; especially the red one!

[@slowstitches]

Gorgeous sweaters! I really appreciate Arne's comments about construction.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thanks for your great comment!

[@maryrichardson8790]

Arne and Carlos, I just thought, you could use this beautiful stripe and border style pattern for a modern cardigan. It's fab!

[@ARNECARLOS]

That is a great idea!

[@GrandmaMarlayne]

I am excited to see how you repair this sweater.

[@soopermam]

Thank you for all your interesting podcasts. The ? crochet button reminds me of Dorset Buttons. A Dorset button is a style of craft-made button originating in the English county of Dorset. Their manufacture was at a peak between 1622 and 1850. Amongst other ports of call I'l will be visiting Bodo next week on a cruise up to Longyearbyen. I'll wave !!

[@Cthecool]

I’m between making Sunday dinner and watching this! Omg Arne your sweaters from grand mom and great grand dad Norwegian wool just so very amazing. What homage to your family and the works are timeless! Such artistry from decades ago to current. Okay I’ll shut up now and just be amazed.☺️

[@danbev8542]

Love your videos! Such beautiful sweaters! What an amazing heritage!

[@corinacollahua88]

M encantan los patrones noruegos...de hecho acabo de terminar un saco en amarillo y negro inspirada en estos patrones con mucha tradicion y significado noruego☺☺me encanta!!💞💞

[@jeaninegunn4118]

Please continue with knits from the archives - so interesting to see the different patterns. Next one should be a few of Carlo's heritage.

[@nupsiwulst9946]

As I am pretty late to the party, someone might already have mentioned that those buttons look quite like dorset buttons...? Anyway, thank you both for that peek inside your archives, I always enjoy a bit of knit-snooping! 😉 the pattern on Arnes grandmothers jacket is so beautiful, and I was actually pondering something about those collars you mentioned. I bet your tutorial will be helpful! Thanks again.

[@nmsillygalnflforever3995]

Such beautiful pieces of art!

[@marychristoforo2256]

Thanks again for a wonderful video! Arne’s grandmother was obviously a very talented knitter. I was so impressed with the inside of her jacket. Perfect floats. You could practically wear it inside out. And I think it’s right that you not repair it. Leave it as a beautiful testimony to her. I also liked seeing your appreciation for the red cable sweater, as that is the type of garment I knit! I am still nervous when doing color work, and I don’t like seaming so I do a lot of raglan sleeves! Looking forward to seeing more of your vintage items in the future.

[@sagasandstars]

I love all the finishing tips! I have only been knitting for about 9 years, and I don’t think anyone has ever shown me how to do any of those finishing techniques to make a piece look more professional. If you haven’t already, maybe you should do a few episodes on how to do them? Love all your videos!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Debi Smith thanks for your tip, we will look into it!

[@kimwatts5750]

Hi Arne & Carlos, Love your vintage jumpers:) Love the patterns, I also like the cardigan Carlos is wearing:) Can’t wait for the next video. KimXX

[@Bobbieliz]

Yay, another archive review!

[@debido2u]

Absolutely fantastic! Thank you so very much!i cannot wait to see more!

[@Simunaya]

These are beautiful Cardigans. Love the red one.

[@memyselfandeye8377]

Wonderful heirlooms! Hugs to you both.

[@antoinettemccollum729]

Beautiful sweaters - and they still look brand new... i loved that you also pointed out how you would repair the garment. I learn something new every time. Another win! :)

[@tinlidtoo6615]

My mother made some beautiful sweaters for my father that I have kept. After watching your videos I'm thinking I could possibly cut them and turn them into jackets I could wear. I would love to wear them out of the house, they are so beautiful and it's such a shame they never go out. I'm not a knitter, but maybe could crochet the placket ❤

[@mamapawel2]

These are beautiful Cardigans. Love it.

[@blasebaker]

Great sweaters.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Blase!

[@yozaani1030]

Just want to congratulate you both. The love for family treasures is heartwarming. Do you have a how to on finishing garment with facing? Looking forward to next video. Thank you

[@annetterejek-amer1628]

The sweaters are really stunning, great kntting art! I like the second one the most, it is really difficult to knit the vertical lines, I tried and I failed, so I have to practice. Thank you for the look in your knitting archive and the wonderful knitting heritage 😍❤️

[@occipitalneuralgia2339]

I tool am loving all the videos. I am in America, and have several vintage Norwegian sweaters gotten online. How do you care for the sweaters? How did people care for them in the olden days before dry cleaners? They are too heavy to wash in water.

[@trishylala]

I love learning about the best finishing techniques and how important it is for the quality to make it look as nice on the inside as the outside. You have taught me today that...Just because the inside might not show it is important to take good care to make the inside as nice so it will last longer. Ok Carlos the sweater u are wearing I love that little ski guy.. is that one of your designs from the past?

[@KoriEmerson]

The running dog one, That motif is really common in viking tapestry and also embroidery and stone monuments. . I've seen it called great waves. It generally indicated that the person was a sailor or a fisherman. Just a little thought.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for sharing Kori!

[@cakanemovies]

This was so enjoyable, I absolutely loved every minute of your Cardigan presentation. I do hope well you probably have, but labeled some of those important pieces. Especially that one by Arne’s Grandmother, the one with the cut off arms. I mean what a great back story you have with that piece. And whose to know that later when you you both go upstairs✝️. Know other way to put that. Anyway Arne and Carlos museum worthy pieces here. 😁

[@ARNECARLOS]

Don't worry, they are all labeled + these videos do explain each design, so we are good...

[@hibird357]

A blessing to have, handwork of your family. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to your visits..

[@maggyhughes6033]

I’m curious about the green and cream sweater Frim the attic and how the sleeves were finished on the inside. I love these videos about the archives!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@tinymoonbeams702]

Those sweaters are all so timeless... Absolutely gorgeous. We have a problem with moths where we live. I also never know whether I should hang or lay the pieces down when I don't wear them. My mom always put them down flat, but is this really necessary? Same with the type of hanger to use (if you do use hangers) - I always feel I should be using special garment hangers instead of the cheap plastic ones, but I'm not really sure if this matters or not. Do you think you could do a program about the right way of storing or preserving knit pieces?

[@ARNECARLOS]

We have! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYGnn3SwZb2ffsk

[@changeofscenery1]

i love the Morfar vest

[@cherylbratten7613]

I love seeing the different patterns on older sweaters. Is there any reference for patterns from specific areas of Norway? My Grandmother came from Voss and I know that pattern. My Grandfather came from Smestad and I was wondering if there was a local pattern associated with that area. Thanks for a very interesting video.

[@nicolejanssens199]

Amazing!.....

[@amarisjoseph]

Love archive videos u guys

[@nicolejanssens199]

I looooove the jacket waaaaaw

[@Earthmama1968]

I LOVE seeing all these vintage knits! Very inspirational. I'm also wondering about the china pattern with the poppies on the shelf behind you. What pattern is that?

[@ARNECARLOS]

That is a vintage find.

[@Earthmama1968]

@@ARNECARLOS I really love it!

[@samuelemoretti218]

Hi Arne, Hi Carlos! I always watch you videos, and I really enjoy your tips, your chats and your way of sharing experience and knowledge. In this video I felt inlove with the Arne's grandmother sweater, the unfinished one: so pretty!! Just a question: do you think it was knitted in pieces or seamless? And this question remind me to another more general one: what's your favourite way to knit stranded colorwork sweaters: seamless or in pieces? Cheers from Samuele, italian living in Switzerland!

[@TheMellis01]

Thank you. 🌹

[@cm79230]

I love all the sweaters. That red cable knit is FABULOUS! Carlos, is your sweater pieced? I love it too.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Carmen Weston no, it’s knitted like that, to look like it’s pieced together.

[@tara281]

I've just found a nearly identical sweater (at a local thrift shop)as #2 ~ same pattern, but finished collar & matching up at the shoulder seam. It has a tag & is marked "Husfliden Skein" ~ I had watched all these videos last year and knew the cardigan looked familiar when I saw it! I'm in BC Canada, and have started a small collection of vintage sweaters myself. I tagged you on IG if you would like to see it :)

[@BarbOwenDesigns]

I always enjoy your videos. Do you have any problem with moths eating holes in the wool there? If so, how do you protect the sweaters? Thanks so much for all the information you share with your viewers.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Barb Owen - HowToGetCreative.com Ee don’t seem to have a problem with moths where we live.
