So pleased to see you two together tonight! Glad i was part of the entertainment for you both!!!! Xxxxx

[@angelacarnes7918]

My heart just melted when Arne named the block “Waiting for Carlos”. I love these sit and knit and chat episodes.

[@bratmamma]

I have been doubled over laughing about Arne’s cooking worm free cauliflower. So fun to have you back together 😀❤️👌🏻🎉🎈🎊

[@ARNECARLOS]

Good to be back!

[@johnno49]

Those quiet knitting videos were delightful. You don’t need constant talking when you’re absorbed in what Arne is doing. They were both fascinating and relaxing.

[@YvonneWilson312]

I really enjoyed Arne's slow knitting. I have to say though, it is so good to see the two of you back together where you belong. Stay well.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You as well Yvonne!

[@karenbushellakacozycornerq8890]

Watching Arne knit in front of the fireplace was so peaceful and relaxing. ❤️

[@sparklie962]

I can't fully express how much I enjoyed this today. Such a happy & life-affirming alternative to much of what is on the airwaves right now. My heartfelt thanks!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Glad you liked it!

Moose moose! Here in Wisconsin we yell COW COW when we see a cow. Lol

[@chrisberry7712]

In England we have a saying, “What is worse than finding a caterpillar (worm) in a salad?” Answer, “finding half a caterpillar!”

[@BrokenArrowPottery]

LOL! That is hilarious! Good one!

[@StormsEnd1604]

I like “waiting for Carlos” for the square. So sweet! It’s great to see you together again and hear how the “spa vacation” was. I’m glad that you are getting better, Carlos. The dogs were very lucky to have so much couch time and snuggles today!!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

They certainly were!

[@jeannesabido3038]

Wonderful to see you two together. I loved Arne's kitting by the fire episode. It was sweet. He was keeping us company waiting for Carlos to return.

[@marisadawndesigns5458]

“Waiting for Carlos” - that brought a tear to my eyes... I am so happy you are back together! And small 🐩 are always the boss! 😁

[@maggyhughes6033]

I love the square-and think the name “Waiting for Carlos” is very touching. Great to see you both together. Lots of laughter today! Thank you so much!

[@kathygoodman6159]

Aww, I love "Waiting for Carlos" as the name of the square! That's so sweet, Arne. I loved watching you knit in front of the fireplace but it also made me feel so sad for you. Carlos, I'm so glad that you are feeling better. I was supposed to do heart rehab after my surgery but COVID hit and it didn't happen. My surgeon talked about sending me now, but since I've moved to Virginia and the rehab is in Maryland I chose not to do that drive 3 days a week for the rehab. Right now my car isn't working, so it wouldn't be possible anyway. If there was a program for me like what you did, Carlos, I would definitely do it. I'm just not motivated to go out and walk on my own or ride my little exercise bike. I'm so happy that you had that opportunity and that it helped you. It's so good seeing you together again, it makes me feel so happy. I'm sending you my love from Northern Virginia.

[@sarojabhat1261]

Opening scene of moose in snow was outstanding!!!👌🏼👍🏼 Had to laugh out loud when I heard the worms in the cauliflower disaster he averted by putting cauliflower head in boiling water! Ha ha. Carlos's reaction was funny too. So glad Carlos is doing better and back home! Welcome back! Keep posting, please. 🙏🏼

[@d14551]

I also love watching the Last Homely House, Doing It Ourselves and the Chateau Diaries. And of course, the two of you!!

[@heidikuijer3612]

Thank you!!! I am sitting watching KZbin while hand quilting to occupy my mind and so enjoy seeing you both. I wish I was a knitter (I only crochet). I love those mittens. Tomorrow I go back to the cancer center after being operated on 3 months ago for a repeat of all the tests and hear about my further treatments. You have kept me company and made me laugh! So thank you very much from The Netherlands.

[@gisellenorbury2369]

Oh my god The Moose is back . It’s beautiful guys how lovely amazing . Can’t believe we finally saw the moose.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We weren't making it up!

[@karenpepperell1658]

I love the squares. Please keep them coming. So generous of you. Good to see you back and well, Carlos!

[@sylvieepinette250]

How wonderful to see you together again in your cosy home. To make sure there are no small insects in vegetables I add white vinegar to the water in which I wash them , I let them a few minutes in. That is what my mother did.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for the tip Sylvie!

[@steffanieiorio40]

First of all thank you for sharing the moose-- I live in South Carolina in the USA and needless to say, I’ve never seen a moose out my window--- how special!!! I need to THANK YOU for your teaching me your way to purl-- I have been knitting for years and always do my knit stitches like you do-- but hated purling because I only knew to “throw” in purling. Thanks to you I now know how to purl in a much easier and more comfortable way. Tomorrow is my 68th birthday and what a gift!!!!! THANK YOU !!!!!!! I’m enjoying your videos so much-- please continue

[@ewetoob100]

The mitten design is gorgeous, and I love the different color combinations. So happy to see you together. Moose!

[@kathleenkaar6557]

I loved knitting in front of the fireplace. I sat with Arne, looking at the fire between stitches. It was lovely. So nice to see you home and back in good form Carlos,

[@vickistretch7271]

Arne is right about soaking cauliflower and broccoli in salt water so the worms come out. We usually only worry about that if it is from the garden. Welcome home Carlos, glad to have you back. Arne has taken very good care of the plant. I was born in September...December was a cold, busy month.😉

[@ARNECARLOS]

💖

[@caseywilson7760]

Heads Up!..........If you grow your own vegetables or purchase them from a farmer, you can get beautiful green caterpillars amongst your broccoli etc. on your dinner plate if you do not kill them by soaking them in salted water when cleaning/prepping them before cooking. Back in the 70's my mother's best friend gave an elaborate gourmet dinner party which she had planned and prepared herself........ While everyone was enjoying the wonderful meal her teenage son discovered a caterpillar in his broccoli and, being young and inexperienced, proclaimed and announced it to everyone! Peggy, the hostess, being quick of mind, jumped up and grabbed everyone's plate and took it to the kitchen and scraped the broccoli from it and returned it to them. Lesson later from my Mom to me, her daughter, "Know when it is best to say nothing". (But not so politely put!) So Arne was completely right! Carlos, you asked Arne, "Worms? Where DO you get your vegetables from?" .......... Carlos, this time it is time for you to eat humble pie (as Arne will obviously keep you from eating garden bugs).🤢 Also, soaking your brussel sprouts in salted water rids them of aphids which they are notorious for having (if they are more naturally grow). You two are sooooooooo hilarious and fun. You bring laughter, love and caring into our lives at this very difficult time. Thank you. Best wishes from Victoria, British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦

[@JD-kb5bq]

Lovely to see you both back together. Such a Joy to spend time together with you both. Thank you!!!!! Jo xx

[@petrathornewill1761]

I know the saltwater- thing from my childhood too, Arne. You did the right thing 😋

[@charlottevanderwerp446]

I do the same thing.

[@moragpotter4609]

Me too! 😊

[@kerstinr5289]

I also know that

[@ARNECARLOS]

💖

[@rsislandcrafts]

We did the same thing growing up. The cauliflower and broccoli from the garden needed to be soaked first.

[@carolphillips1957]

I will never again cook a cauliflower without thinking of Arne!!! Love you guys! Glad to hear you are getting better every day Carlos xx

[@chrispe82]

Lol about many relatives being born in September... their parents must have had a fun New Years 😁

[@karinberryman2009]

Love it!

[@Tricia123B]

Love the MOOSE MOOSE intro! So so very happy Carlos that you are improved so much and that Arne did so well on his own with premade foods. You two are terrific

[@josefinaamaro5631]

I really enjoyed this video. You both are so adorable. Its so wonderful to see your partnership and love. My heart was filled when Arne called the square "waiting for Carlos". *smile blushes*

[@joanndean6444]

Oh that was just beautiful! So much talent and artistry on display! And so intimidating...I have your patterns and Rowan yarns... I better get busy! First up...the snowman beanie! Thanks so much Arne and Carlos...inspiration with those dashes of humor...perfect! Congratulations on reaching those terrific milestones...you deserve it!🤗

[@jenniferbarrett3272]

Another great episode of crack up laughing with Carlos the knitting hunk and Arne the fearless cauliflower worm hunter-welcome back! Loved the history of the knitting book and the visit with the moose too!

'Everyone was born in September' - so funny! I think it must be the way Arne tells it! Fab. Welcone back Arne and Carlos, we have missed you!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Good to be back!

[@marlaleclerc9491]

I have missed you both. So nice to sit and chat and knit. Thank you for sharing the lovely baby moose. Sorry to hear about the hospital visits.... please take care of yourself! Covid is nasty business and very serious! You are so lucky to have overcome it. God Bless you both. Carlos... you can't leave Arne again for a long period of time because he probably will starve. What a wonderful thing Carlos that you pre-prepared meals for Arne... very sweet. Glad you two are back! Arne you are a genious...using a sock pattern for those mittens...so beautiful.

[@schnippischnappi4010]

You sit here like in an big artist's painting with your dogs beside! A wonderful scene! WOW!!! I love it! 🤩

I'm happy you're recovering, Carlos. It was such a joy to spend time with you today.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Glad you joined us today Elizabeth!

[@luvlav3156]

😻 "Waiting for Carlos"-I let out an audible "Aawwwww" Rewatching this a year later reminds me of all of the people that are still in my life and how grateful I am for them. Thank you, as always, for being so welcoming, for sharing your stories and for the cozy chat.💜

[@ARNECARLOS]

❤️❤️😊

[@annenelligan8374]

When I listened about cauliflower treatment, I was agreeing to myself. Here in New England we soak our feet in salt water to feel better. And salt and water, funny name normal saline, as a nurse, is always in use. Now I add to cook cauliflower. Carlos looks so well. Beautiful video, coming home after hospital can be tricky for families members, resetting. You two are beautifully stepping together.

[@deekay1641]

I'm so happy to see you both today. Thankful that Carlos is getting better. Thank you for sharing the moose video. Such an amazing creature, we had one in our front yard a few years ago, he was very hungry so needless to say our landscaping changed very quickly...ha ha ha. The dogs are so happy to have the household back to normal.

[@marbada64]

I can understand Arne with the cauliflower, when I get vegetables out of my garden I do the same to get all the bugs and worms out. Good to see you back home again and feeling a bit better.

[@nathaliebourre3578]

Good morning Arne and Carlos! So, SO wonderfully good for mind and heart to watch you both! I couldn’t help but shout “Me too!” in the kitchen when you were talking about Kate, Micheal and Stephanie! I love any place with a least a bit of history, whether it’s a building, a garden or an object ... the stories they tell about the times they come from, I find truly fascinating! My home is an early 1940s house. When I bought it, I removed the gas fires and reinstated an open fire in the front room and put a Godin stove in the kitchen, a bit of France in my corner of England ! So I really don’t mind when temperatures fall! Sending you warm hugs from North Yorkshire 🤗🧶!

[@leecharbonneau8721]

At es slow TV saved me. My nerves were raw and it calmed me and made me feel wonderful

[@sleeplessinscandia6452]

I just LOVE Arnie’s sweater. The mittens too ❤️

[@shulamit46]

That was amazing to see the moose, beautiful scenery, thank you for sharing!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@cg3383]

You two are SO awesome! I love you. I’m so glad you got post Covid treatment And glad Arne didn’t burn the house down while you were away Carlos. I hope you know how important you are to all of us in “your” family. It’s helping to keep me sane during this time of uncertainty and isolation. From the bottom of my heart, Thank You!

[@paulaarthur57]

So happy you are back Carlos and feeling better. It is wonderful that you were able to find out where you are in your recovery process and that you are taking time to focus on you. Arne you are an inspiration, I love the mittens. I look forward to sitting and knitting with you. You both are like old friends. Stay well.

[@Katheverett]

I woke up, and my husband announced that it was Wednesday - Sit and Knit for a Bit day! I got so excited! So great to catch up and hear all the details - so happy to have you both back and looking good! I’m all smiles.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Have a nice day Katherine!

[@susantolin7000]

I can tell you how grateful I am to have found the two of you!! It was through The last homely house East of the sea..Kate mentioned you as I was watching her do a little workshop on making books ( journals ). I watched one episode and I was hooked. I never made books before and now I am. I have purchased your IDEA BOOK and a whole new world has opened up for me. I am in my retirement years and have a huge collection of memorabilia that I have been saving. So many memories to be made into books. I am an avid knitter and rug hooker..Again you both are a joy to watch. Thank you.Susan from British Columbia Canada. Please take care and be safe.

[@cynthiaroy9950]

It’s so wonderful to have you BOTH back together on KZbin and at home together! And I’m so very thankful prayers were answered and Carlos is much more healthy!! This episode was so much fun and humorous. You’re shows are a soothing balm for the soul in these turbulent times in America. THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH! I have the “Nordic Kints” book by Birger Berge. I so love reading through it and the pictures are wonderful! I have not knit a pattern from it yet, but my mind is turning over the patterns in anticipation! Welcome home, Carlos! Welcome back to Sit and Knit for 2021! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@eloiseholland2915]

Really interesting to see the knitting resource book Norske Strikkemonstre. It's a valuable piece of knitting history. I am glad to see you keeping these patterns alive. Welcome home, good health to you both!

[@margaretmojica8190]

All those babies born in September means there were many couples snuggling together to keep warm in December. Right now I am watching you all and actually knitting (not sanding the floor or painting the walls). I am starting a lace afghan with hearts and house widows and a 4-7 lace pattern on the border. You started me knitting again. I had not knit anything in about 15 years.

The cauliflower story made me laugh out loud. Well done, Arne, the garden cauliflower could be full of lice and slugs, that came out in saltwater. You don't want to cut a slug, Carlos, or miss the lice. That dog ear is over fluffed by Arne XD You love Helmut, do you

So happy to see you back together again. “Waiting for Carlos” says it all. Arne, I’m a retired 1st grade teacher. When I first started teaching, we laminated everything. But as I later found out, it takes about 700 years for laminated pages to decompose. So I began to make careful choices of what to laminate. I’m guessing that you will too. Coming from NJ, USA. ❤️🌹
