Antarctica, wow. I went in 2016 and it was life changing. Just so beautiful and so much wildlife.

[@jilliankonig2759]

Enjoyed the discussions about sundry subjects. I love the dog sweaters; I did a colorwork sweater with poodles across the sweater. The word you were looking for Carlos, was cooling rack.

[@maureenholian1560]

[@Islandflower66]

That's funny we have that saying too. See which one fills up first. Haha My grandmother was a no nonsense lady, tough lady, but we knew we were loved. My best life lessons were learned with her. I miss her everyday! Thank you for sharing your memories and lives. The pokemon shenanigans were hilarious.

[@allisonkohtz8540]

Congratulations Sharmen! And welcome to the wonderful world of colorwork knitting. Merry Christmas to everyone!

[@aliciaquintano6506]

I saw your instagram post from Paris! The thrift shopping looks amazing there. Hope you found lots of good things. Looking forward to next Sunday 🙂❤

[@antoinettebilocca9868]

Wishing you both a Merry Christmas and a JOYFUL NEW YEAR from Malta 😘😘

[@bigblackdogfiberarts]

My go to when the kids were asking for everything they saw was simply, “It is good to want.”

[@knitcrochettiger361]

the saying about "wishing in one hand", we say that in America too....both my grandmothers, my mom, my dad and my paternal grandfather told me that when i was a kid...also, i believe in the second "Grumpy Old Men" movies with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, the actor Burgess Meredith said that line....hearing a really old man say that was histerical, but very true

[@dbledni]

Oh my goodness! I thought this was just an American saying from 2 generations ago! I didn’t think Europeans would say such crass things! 😂 No, not really - but it was fun to hear you both labor over repeating it! 😂 Merry Christmas 🎄🎁!

[@laurelrobbins8673]

Congratulations to Sharmen! I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

[@jillyb9995]

Congratulations to Sharmen🎉 happy knitting😊 I love that wishing saying by the way, hilarious🤣 hope you guys had a wonderful time in beautiful Paris..saw the short of you both at the flea market.

[@meatdog]

Congrats Sharmen. Merry Christmas.

[@ritahenderson1627]

Dog jumpers are beautiful!

[@laurelrobbins8673]

So funny - I knew what your grandmother told the children as soon as I heard the story - we say that all the time here in US. So good to see you - hope you’re enjoying Paris!!

[@barbarabryan-wilson8629]

Merry Christmas!

[@geriattrique7141]

Bwahahahahs Grandma!!!! 😂😂😂

[@Fenger53]

You guys are amazing! Love your channel

[@julbea]

Thank you for another great KAL, LOVED MAKING THE STocking

[@Islandflower66]

Omg I love your personalized ribbon

[@gwierenga1556]

Love listening to you two banter back and forth! Wishing you the best Christmas and New Year! 💕💕Thank you for all that you do to keep us entertained 😂

[@barbarabryan-wilson8629]

Love your sweaters!

[@penkast1605]

Congratulations to Sharmen!

[@tl4214]

Oh, you two!! 🥰 🤣😂🤣😂 The margarine vs butter is mostly due to cist , as Carlos mentioned. But, butter performs differently in baking, causing the slouch sides. If you use half of each, it performs better in baking and you still get the flavor from the butter. There is a lovely photo about cookies baked with all butter, all shortening, all margarine, then half margarine/half butter. It really changes the end result. We do the ribbon curling, too. The plant is lovely wrapped in moss! The sweaters are so beautiful!! Congratulations to the winner!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 🦌🦌🦌🦌🛷🎅❄️🎄❄️

[@Islandflower66]

My hubby loves biscotti, I will get the recipes for sure!

[@stitchersdelight]

Congratulations to the winner ! I love using curly ribbon, we use it a lot here, very festive looking. It's funny what your Grandma said Arne, we were always told to " suck it up, buttercup " ...lol Have a wonderful trip b!

[@PaulaSlater-j8s]

OMG Arne, love your polar bear sweater. Wear it wherever you want. It will be much admired. Wish I could be in Paris shopping the flea markets with you. The cookie/cakes sound delicious. Love learning about the Norwegian traditions. See you next week.

[@michelemurnane2834]

Yes, I have alwayscurled my ribbons.

[@joannebarber8550]

I like the way your designs go in the opposite directions. I see Arne did extra color work on his sweater.

[@monahoscheid]

Congratulations 🎉

[@LynnSheff]

Wonderful Grandmother story! Here we call that grill a “cooling rack” - but we know what you meant❤

[@MichelleLewis-nc8zv]

I curl my ribbons as well!

[@Islandflower66]

We make thumb print cookies like peanut butter and put a Hershey's kiss in the center. So yummy

[@thefrugalknitter8786]

Love the sweaters Definitely plan to knit one. Hope the head isn't too sore and the lamp survived😂.. A wonderful podcast. Thankyou so much.

[@laurastrom9857]

Oh my goodness. Carlos said “tummetott” my grandmother used to do a finger game with us. Tummetott, slickipott, langeman, gullebran. Lilla Petter Spelmann. (That is all spelled incorrectly I’m sure, just phonetically the way I recall it), I have not thought about this for years when i taught it to my granddaughter. Thank you for this lovely memory on third Sunday of Advent.

[@victorianicolls912]

Gidday From Australia, Thankyou Arne and Carlos for the fun 2024 Kal and the delightful journey of 6 rows a day with a magic result of a fabby Christmas Stocking.! Congratulations to the winner enjoy your gorgeous prezzie Merry Christmas Everyone

[@Islandflower66]

I have to curl the ribbons too haha

[@lauriegranstrand4018]

Always butter

[@LesleyWeymouth]

The thing that you were calling a grill, we call a cooling rack in the UK. Congratulations to the winner of the competition.

[@crisfernandez477]

Congrats to the winner! It was so much fun participating and especially making the stocking, thanks ❤ Have fun in the French flea markets 😊

[@tamelaschandel6451]

Lol, my mom used to say that to us girls all the time.

[@janecornell4890]

Rolling Stones..."You can't always get what you want........ Your grandmother's saying is new to me. I don't think I will be using it though. My grand furry children love everything they get! The thumb print cookies sound soooooo good! You put them on a cooling rack! Butter only!!! I love my KerryGold! Margarine is like plastic. I love all the sweaters! You can do a yoke of Antarctic animals and plain for the rest of the sweater. Well I got the answer correct but alas not a winner. I bought the patterns before the contest Having free yarn would be nice though.

[@debbuller1492]

My father was known for saying that phrase too. I love watching your videos. I've learned a lot and not just about knitting. My goal in 2025 is to try color work as I just learned socks Thank you

[@MichelleLewis-nc8zv]

Grill is a cooling rack😊

[@jacquielawrence5670]

We're all grown ups, sensitive or not. My grandmother would say "you want it, you work for it" 😅

[@LizzysSesameStreet]

Cooling rack is what I say for grille.

[@dullgirl2.50]

The word you are looking for is baking rack.

[@fionad9913]

Cooling rack 🙂

[@davidhensley76]

English has the identical maxim about wishing. 🤚 😂

[@2biebs]

We call it ‘zandkoekjes’/zandtaartjes.

[@Florian-h7j]

Congratulations to the winner!!!! I counted the Arne&Carlos books in my shelf: Julekuler 2011, Paskestrikk 2012, Strikkedukker 2012, Norgestrikk 2014, Gardenstrikk 2014, Strikketofler 2015, Designerstrikk 2016, Kreatvboker 2016, Strikke Fugler 2017, Beste Strikk 2019, Neue Julekuler 2024 So, I own 11 of 10 books!

[@ARNECARLOS]

We don’t count designerstrikk as a book, it’s a magazine and it is only published in German.

[@Florian-h7j]

Okay, that's why it is the only soft-cover!

[@Lauren-Pip-ONeal]

Wear your husky sweaters to Antarctica! Roald Amundsen used sled dogs when he was first to the South Pole - huskies, history makers! 🐾❤🐾

[@2biebs]

You have to grease the forms with butter

[@lisakyle3995]

Is that cats on your sweaters ❤ it

[@patriciamm9859]

Wire rack or cooling rack

[@bibamakes]

We had thicker skins... and that IS a Coca Cola santa.

[@janetshepherd9062]

When we get an inversion in Albuquerque, NM, the smog from the city hovers over the city. Ugly and bad for the lungs.

[@Wildknitdiva]

Cooling rack

[@jeannewells6747]

😂😂😂😂 yes very popular saying in America I agree people are allot more sensitive we need to see the humor more 😊

[@sharon-zg5kb]

COOLING RACK

[@lauriegranstrand4018]

Why no gas?

[@ARNECARLOS]

It’s not common practice in Norway to cook with gas. So we don’t have the infrastructure for that, like gas supply via pipes to the house.

[@Fenger53]

Margarine is almost plastic! Butter is better

[@barbarabryan-wilson8629]

Butter is better!

[@bigblackdogfiberarts]

My go to when the kids were asking for everything they saw was simply, “It is good to want.”
