Sit and Knit for a Bit with ARNE & CARLOS - Episode 8

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

I've just watched this again with my daughter Martha who drew the images for the cards - we are both really thrilled that you liked your parcel! xxxxx

[@Jackelicot]

I couldn't realise that is real... I discovered you, Kate, a week ago and like Arne, bingewatched your KZbin videos since than... And now I listen to my "old KZbin friends" (I like your videos so so much Arne and Carlos) and what a surprise to hear them speak about you. I wished your both houses were closer. I'm sure you would have a million things to tell to eachother and so many beautiful handmade works to share. Thank you Kate, thank you Arne & Carlos for lightening our days, especially on these troubled times. Thank you.

Just wanna add, I am sitting and breastfeeding my baby who is constantly hungry. So it is “Sit and Feed the Kid for a Bit” for me. Started watching your podcasts while pregnant and knitting baby blankets, and now my baby is 2 months. Always very entertained by you two.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Multitasking!

[@chrisberry7712]

Have you looked at Kate’s channel - The Last Homely House? If not, do have a look, I’m sure that you’ll enjoy it. She has a new granddaughter, Agnes, who is the recipient of many of Kate’s creations. She’s a very warm lady based in Northumberland, UK, and a wonderful teacher!

I made the opposite journey, Carol. I'm here because of Kate recommending Carlos and Arne.

[@grumpy_poo]

Been watching Kate for a while... she's so calming.

[@catharinakanninga-degraaf3575]

Grumpy poo , a real midwife Isn't she?

[@camillefoote5678]

I just got new glasses too, needed a new prescription. Just for comparison, I get the rim-less Sillouette brand titanium frames, the lightest lense material that can be drilled into, tri-focal progressive (line-less) with anti-glare & blue light filter coatings, and I think an extra edge grinding treatment to eliminate something, catching light maybe. Anyway...$1,000.00 for lenses and frames. No insurance coverage at my age. Private vision insurance doesn't cover much in the U.S. I think it would break even as far as paid in & the amount covered. They are light as a feather even with my extensive prescriotion. I love them, and oh my, so nice to see so much better. I was 5 months late for my annual exam due to the pandemic.

[@cathypearson1889]

I went to Kate's YT channel as well. I enjoy both of them 😊

[@jessicatressawell5970]

You two are very funny. When my children were little, they watched Sesame Street. You remind me of Ernie and Bert. Very cute. Thank you for the lovely butterfly pattern.

That’s funny! I share Arne and Carlos’ podcasts with my husband. He always calls them Ernie and Bert!!

[@susannoel2956]

I meant to write this sooner--right after you "sit and knit..." when you talked about Kate and her Last Homely House channel. It was a delight to hear you talk about her and share how wonderful you found her channel. AND, Kate was thrilled with your shout out about her and the LGS. It was heartwarming to see how surprised and happy she was to learn that you had done that. Such a boost to her as she is slowly making her way back from being so sick this summer. It is good for all our spirits to see and hear such support and fellowship between our youtube "celebrities. :) :) AND then things got even better today when you shared with us viewers your package from Kate. You were like a couple of kids with Christmas stockings :) :) Great fun to watch and a welcome warm fuzzy break of sunshine for us watching. One a totally different note--the fabric behind you today reminded me in both pattern and color of the wallpaper that used to be on our living room walls. A fond memory indeed. Both of you stay safe, be well, and give lots of hugs to the dogs. Susan N in New Hampshire USA

[@ARNECARLOS]

Stay safe Susan

[@catherinesilver3630]

I love Kate too. Thank you for sharing her with your fans. She is a truly talented creative spirit.

[@LeonaM-MyABCs]

The way you two are with each other is why your podcasts/videos are so great. It's like everything is so normal, not put on for the cameras. It's very, very cool to watch and we can relate to it. Even how you were speaking about your dogs is like we do - they are part of the family. Thank you for that. Your channel is the one Ma and I learn from and relax with and laugh along with you.

[@ARNECARLOS]

I'm in the USA and this morning I saw you two in a Walmart commercial. I was so surprised. It was great!

[@susanmyrawills]

@@clarefriend1376 Thwy do know.

[@alisoncastaldo136]

@@susanmyrawills while it's good in theory, sometimes LYS just don't exist or are out of the price range for some people. I honestly feel that if a craft is made accessible to more people through a lower price point, then that's great! I can still support my LYS when I want a nice wool or sock yarn, but still go to Walmart to get cheap acrylic yarn for a couch throw.

[@susanmyrawills]

@@alisoncastaldo136 Yeah, I understand some people aren’t able to allot much for crafting or art supplies into their budget. It’s just that Walmart’s preditory business model is detrimental to entrepreneur spirit and small business. The ad also is deceitful. But I guess that’s what capitalism is all about. They probably did not know HOW their images were going to be used in conjunction with Lion Brand Yarn. I would incourage struggling communities to support charity and independent thrift shops and reuse craft supply venues. I have found good cashmere,wool, cotton,and acrylic sweaters to unravel at thrift stores, as well as bags of various yarns donated from from a departed beloved one’s stash. Hey, we’re all gonna move on someday before reaching the end of our yarn balls.

They may be the best part of this epic year. 2. I am excited about the new patterns for the Christmas balls. I have knitted about 30 of the ones from your book. 3. The Porridgegate episode was hilarious. 4. Kate's channel is fantastic. Thank you for mentioning her to all of us.

Great!

[@catnapper3923]

Please do not stop making the squares. The quarantine was such a great opportunity for this creative approach to “be together apart” - artists and musicians and humanitarians and all energetic and creative people generously reaching out to cheer other people in dark times. It’s like the Whos in Whoville who sang even though the Grinch thought he had taken Christmas away. He hadn’t; you can’t dim human spirit. The squares were how I “met” you - the Great Catalyst. They take on a meaning bigger than the sum of their parts. Much gratitude and appreciation to all of your team.

I recently discovered your channel. Both of you are delightful and I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. My husband is of Swedish heritage and his grandparents of both his mother and father came to America and settled in Chicago. Several years ago, young twin brothers in Sweden contacted my husband on Facebook when they saw his name and realized he lived in Chicago. They were trying to trace their relatives that had settled in Chicago a long time ago. It turned out that my husband is actually related to the brothers. They have been communicating on Facebook ever since and my husband was able to tell them about the relatives here. So Arne, don’t give up. And I loved the Porridgegate video!! 🤣🥰.

Carlos you are a hero! I must admit I watched Porridgegate and it was comedy GOLD! Please, please make more - the chemistry you have and the patience you have is just wonderful. Did you ever tell us how you met because I'm so glad you did. Love to you both x

I always give you a thumbs up because i always enjoy your podcast. sit & knit for a bit & drink wine is how i do it this evening. Please continue the knitted blocks. can you imagine how big the knitted blanket will be without any repeat squares if you were to do it for about 2 years. Would be awesome.Congratulations on the TV contract, you guy's deserve it !

Made 50 plus squares. Loved making them. Will have to make more squares to add to my blanket. Thanks for sharing them!!
