A trip down memory lane by ARNE & CARLOS

[@thecatmont]

you made swanchos before they were fashion! not surprised you'd think of it first and now it's all the rage again.

[@ARNECARLOS]

I don't think we can take credit for the swoncho being popular right now - we did our first swoncho in 2006 which is a very long time ago and probably has nothing to do with the current rage. But anyway, thanks for your lovely comment!

[@thecatmont]

@@ARNECARLOS I think you are the original trendsetters that make the trends. your designs past and present show vision

[@nicofotonl]

I totally agree Cat! Arne and Carlos, you are a unique and very original duo. I love watching your videos and specially seeing what you’ve created in the past. Beautiful drawings of the insect people, really so 👍🏻.

[@momgrandma5496]

Time passes quickly, memories in a book are a true treasure.

[@galememeeof6688]

I really love you guys and the way you look at your past together. History and family is so important and to have your book and pictures and your memories is so nice. Thank you so much for sharing. It worked out well for you both to have a business you can work so well together in. Enjoy your spring and summer coming up. I hope you have time to enjoy some time to work in your garden and have time to smell your flowers.

[@marialuisaponce18]

Thank you Arne and Carlitos, for giving us the opportunity to glimpse into your past, it was wonderful seen you guys past accomplishments, thank you for sharing😘 your past. Keep up the good work kisses.

[@sharonkeller7397]

What a wonderful life you have had and a book to remember so many of them. I enjoyed seeing all of the pictures and hearing your stories about them. I loved the shorts also! It's such a great idea to purl them to look like creases! Have a lovely week and see you again soon!

[@ARNECARLOS]

We think those shorts would look adorable on small children!

[@shirleybeard2318]

It would be a privilege to have a copy of the book. Paging through it and hearing the stories of your families and early career adds so much to my appreciation of the time and energy that you commit to your work and those of us who enjoy and benefit from it so much. Thank you.

[@dorothygriffiths6626]

Hello lovely Arne and Carlos, what a fabulous episode-your Mothers are so beautiful and I can see where you get your looks from. Please knit those gorgeous shirts, I knitted a similar set for my first born in 1969, I thought he looked delightful- sadly I don’t have any photos. I wish I could find a copy of your grandmother’s magazine Carlos, it sounds fabulous. Your Barbie designs are breathtaking. Your book is wonderful, wouldn’t it be fabulous if it was translated into different languages. You are both so talented and I do look forward each week to your vlog, you are both like old friends dropping by. Thank you for sharing your creativity and your life with us all. Big hugs and loves to you both, lots of love xxxxxx Dorothy 😘🙋🏻❤️

[@ARNECARLOS]

Yes, we would have loved it if it was translated to other languages, but unlike our books published after 2010, this is a coffee table book and those kind of books don't sell very well, so there aren't many publishers who are willing to publish.

[@Chattycrafter2580]

Oh Arne and Carlos you are not old you know what they say. Like a good wine you improve with age. You have just matured, improved and excelled in e everything you do. What a wonderful book, I would add that to my library even though I couldn’t read it, once again another fun video I love watching Arne knitting, it’s 7am Monday the 8 th of April here in NSW Australia and I could quite easily start knitting but alas☹️ I have other things to do first. Till next time bye for now.

[@wilmakroon3422]

So nice and sweet memory lane video. Made me smile to see you both enjoy your journey together. Great great great!

[@loisg.6240]

What a wonderful visit with you and seeing your book. I loved your commentary. Thank you for sharing it with us! A BIG thumbs up! 😍

[@phoebeb1601]

Thank you so much so sharing with us. I love the idea of kids knitted shorts.

[@ycwittmann]

I loved the insect women! Wow-Arne can draw too. What CAN'T you guys do?!

[@lindachism7775]

I have really enjoyed this episode. It was so enjoyable listening to you discuss the book. Yes ! Yes, make the book available to all of us. the pictures are amazing, and I love the pictures and stories about your family. thank you so much for sharing with us.

[@lexieandcece]

I love you both. Your home appears to be so warm and friendly. I wished I could visit in person. You are both wonderful hosts that make anyone feel at home

[@IrisMG]

Sometimes it's nice to look back on where you've been so that you can appreciate where you are. This was fun to see! Thanks guys

[@lauramay9717]

Arne I'm in love with your sweater!!!

[@memyselfandeye8377]

Wonderful! Yes, knit shorts!

[@KEJacques]

love those little shorts! I would definitely make them

[@janebute2541]

Oh my, yes to those wonderful shorts!

[@janenelson5871]

Love the book, Thank you for showing us your pictures and some of your life

[@sarabraker8866]

Thanks for sharing the book- wow, what a chronicle of your work together! It was fascinating to see your creations and the inspiration behind them

[@kimwatts5750]

Hi Arne&Carlos, Sorry I am a bit late in commenting. Love your book very interesting and nice to see:) Really nice to see the history and the things you have designed. Would be nice to have the book:) Thank you for sharing KimX❤️

[@nicolettewasling8753]

Thank you for showing us your wonderful book. It was fascinating and inspiring.

[@MyDaisy66]

Wow! What a beautiful book guys. Thank you for showing us your amazing story in pictures. You are incredibly talented, and shown great style throughout the years. Lovely to see your family members are part of it too, a great personal touch. All your designs are timeless, so beautiful 🌷🧶

[@sandymiller8206]

Wow! What a tip of the proverbial iceberg this video represents! Thank you for sharing and allowing us, once again, a tiny glimpse into the depths of your creativity.

[@Bobbieliz]

Fascinating 30 minutes about your career (as well as the fascinating, mysterious Freja!). A memorable book.

[@stitchersdelight]

Very interesting, thank you. How wonderful to see pictures of your families, I'm sure they are very proud of you both and all you've accomplished. I love walks down memory lane but they can be emotional ! Have a wonderful week !

[@shirleypage733]

Beautiful book, interesting going down memory lane. Always enjoy you podcast. 👍🌺🌸🐨🐨

[@eyeamdust]

That was absolutely lovely and touching. Even before you said that you might be able to make the book available, I was writing down where we might get it. You two are so amazing. I thank my good fortune that I found you on KZbin. And I thank you for enhancing the trip. With love from this old hippy.

[@barbarastevens9584]

Love to hear about your life and stories , great video. Thank you.

[@gloriaf7648]

I truly enjoyed your reminiscences from the book. But what really caught my attention was the chapter about Barbie! Because Barbie was the first "person" for which I ever knitted a garment. And that was over fifty years ago! Thanks for the walk down memory lane.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We've always liked designing for dolls, nice to know we are not the only ones!

[@MarkPMus]

I love you two guys! I’ve just started knitting at the ripe young age of 50, and you give me something to aspire to! Thanks for your YT channel! 😇😇 Mark

[@katgore99]

Thank you so much for sharing.

[@marlagriffith3144]

What a beautiful book. You are both so gifted. Thank you for sharing yourselves with us.

[@kristawelch-chapman5463]

I absolutely loved this video about your lives together, so cool! Always wanted to see the family pictures just loved it! The dress/sweater was very cool. Love you guys and honor that you let us be a part of your history and life!🌸

[@veronicastephens8501]

Fantastic video I really appreciate you both sharing your lives with all of us. The book is fantastic the family photos are the best. In my opinion you both resemble your beautiful mothers. I remember the drawing of your Grandmother Arne, what a marvelous representation of your love for her. Oddly enough until you showed the book with all its drawings I didn't realize how complicated designing for others would be. I remember Carlos saying in one of the Q&A videos that it wasn't as easy as one would think. So right you are. Another educational, entertaining and endearing video added to my favorites. I will be viewing this again!

[@karinberryman7970]

Thanks for the picture of Arne's mor! Love that generation! She's a little younger than my father's generation but all those born before WW2 have a very special grace. Maybe you two appreciate that now.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Yes, they sure do.

[@lizadams7662]

Love how you quickly mentioned that Freya too is lovely, in case her feelings were hurt when you praised the old border collie!

[@bagladysendtheferalspinner3761]

Dear Arne and Carlos, Thanks so much for sharing. I loved that you learned to spin fibre earlier in your career. It's a hobby I love. Cheers, Laura

[@cathyellis248]

Thank you for the glimpse into your lives. I'm so pleased I found you on KZbin.....thanks to Kate at The Last Homely House who mentioned you on her chat. I love your book and would love to purchase a copy.... signed by you both would also be very special! Lots of love!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Hi Cathy, welcome to our channel! Any friend of Kate's is a friend of ours.

[@alettavanmeurs9185]

What a wonderful book! Loved hearing both your memory lane stories! Beautiful pictures and sketches in the book! You guy's are so creative! Love little Freya, she's so cute!

[@mistyblue5312]

👍🏻🧶🙏🏻👏 so interesting! Thank you for sharing.

[@maymie54]

This is a beautiful and informative book. As a Norwegian/American, I would buy this book! Thank you for sharing it with all of us. You guys are terrific!

[@luannw7769]

A web shop! You are inspirational!

[@jennifercongdon4583]

How special was this? Thank you so much for this look back in time with fathers, mothers, uncles, doors from the family farm, nieces, border collie pet dog, and so much more. Wow, this is heavy.

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

What a fun trip through your book!! Great pictures!!! The picture of your home was wonderful!!! You two are very talented!!

[@SundaysChild100]

How wonderful that you shared this with us. You are so talented on so many levels. Thank you ❤️

[@bettyallam1548]

A very beautiful book that walks through your career. What other surprises have you up your sleeve?

[@sandybassett4901]

Such great accomplishments you both have shared with us. It's all so exciting to listen to. Too bad your book is not in English. Really enjoyed seeing and hearing your memories recalled. Thank you! ~StitchedbyMimi

[@janegriffith2369]

Great way to start a gloomy monday morning with looks fabulous on my list to buy your little dog getting on the settee was so lovely you just cant leave them outxx

[@memefraser3961]

Thank you for sharing your memories. You two are amazing and I have to say, you two look fabulous. A lot of men get more handsome as they age, like you guys. I am learning so much from you and can’t believe that it’s almost 30 years since my life was too busy to knit. Thank you for the inspiration to pick up my needles (which I kept all those years) and start knitting. 🧶🇨🇦

[@janoneil2057]

Hi A&E, Yes, I would be interested in your book. Thank you for sharing your passion. Jan

[@suegrohn2516]

Of course we want the book!

[@jenniferfarsh675]

I would love if fashion was worn by regular people as opposed to only models. Im glad you went against the rules in that respect. I thoroughly enjoyed flipping through your history book 💕 Thank you for sharing 💕

[@zoiegriffin8717]

OMG! What an awesome sweater Arne!!

[@avrilplummer7047]

How wonderful, loved looking through your memories. Hugs Avril xx 💕💕💕

[@dorindacontreras1094]

What a wonderful walk down Memory Lane! Thank you for sharing so much of yourselves. It helps us to look for inspiration in the world around us. I also want to say that I totally adore the origami dress. In my younger days I would have worn that dress without a doubt. I would love to have the book! Have a super week and thanks again for sharing. You guys look great young and old. The pictures look great. Thanks for sharing about your families too! hugs!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thanks for your comment. That dress has a very special meaning to us as it was our breakthrough in the fashion industry. The Museum of decorative arts in Oslo, which is part of the National Museum has a top and skirt from this collection, which used to be part of a permanent exhibiton. Currently, the museum is moving to a new location and hopefully the ensemble will be on display again in the future. Here is the catalogue: samling.nasjonalmuseet.no/en/term/producer/Arne%20%20%20Carlos

[@dorindacontreras1094]

@@ARNECARLOS Thank you so much for sharing this lovely link. I shared this with my colleague who is an art teacher. She and I just ooood and ahhhhed over your design. You guys really do rock.

[@angiemcdermid4845]

So interesting. You are so generous sharing your process and your history. Looking forward to meeting you at knit city in Vancouver

[@lisab.9989]

Please do make this book available through your webstore: I don't know Norwegian, but I love the pictures! Thanks so much for showing this.

[@patriciahoffmann2678]

Really nice, guys - thanks so much for sharing, and congratulations on your gold medal!

Fascinating story of your early careers and life. Love the sweaters you are both wearing.

Once again boys you’ve called at my address and taken me for a trip. You really do brighten my Sunday afternoons. Thank you so much for sharing such wonderful memories. Carlos your mum is an absolute stunner! Arne that’s such a funky hairstyle on the back cover! I would really love to purchase this book (even though I can’t speak Norwegian). Thank you once again.

[@debsievert4766]

Looks good, good, good!!! Sehr gut!!

I love all your videos but this must be my favourite - what a beautiful book and how wonderful to hear about your families. I would definitely buy it although I don't know Norweigan - there' always google translate ! And yes please to the shorts pattern.

So fun and interesting to see pictures of your earlier years!

Arne & Carlos thank you so much for sharing this fantastic book with us. So interesting to hear about your story and nice to see photos of your family. Love your channel 🌹

[@lauraleecreations3217]

I love those shorts! I’m also a seamstress, knitter, and I crochet. I make jewelry, and multi media crafts, as well! I love your videos! Thank you.

[@jennyweyman3039]

Must be nice to see your names on your own book! You deserve your success. Quiet achievers. The book is lovely. I know I have Scandinavian DNA, who then settled in Scotland, maybe that's why I love your work so much, it's in my Dna too?!

[@cheryldeville9211]

That was a fabulous video! I felt like I was in the room looking through the book with you, and I loved that Freya hopped up onto the sofa and snuggled in for the video. I'd love to order a copy of the book, and I think a pattern in the boy's shorts would be fun. I have a knitted skirt that my aunt made for my daughter when she was young, and I think the purl stitches helped to create the creases in the pleats. I can try to find the pattern!

[@rnchimilar]

Thumbs up..love the book and all the inspiration that helps you to design. The knitted shorts and sweater with breast pocket so cute. Look forward every week to see what you are up to. BrambleKnits 🇨🇦

[@r.mcd2921]

You two are wonderful. I'd love to get the book, despite my complete ignorance of the Norwegian language. I hope you'll offer it on your site soon. Thank you for all you do.

[@foleyjp1]

Love your stories.... I feel like you have become fiber friends of mine and great inspiration for me. I, too, delve into many fiber arts - knitting, sewing, crocheting, embroidery, natural and chemical dying of both fabric and yarns, and almost anything having to do with fibers. Thank you for allowing us to learn about you, your history and your wonderful Norwegian culture and country.
