OH!! how absolutely lovely of you guys! I didn't make even one crane I was so excited watching this! This was the kindest thing! and what lovely things you said! I can't stop smiling! Arne, I would like to send you some paper hexagons so you can get started! the machine is called a Sizzix and takes all the hard work out of preparation for English Paper Piecing and also ensures the accuracy. Well. I am so happy! xxxxxxxxx

[@debbie.mckenzie]

Kate, I stopped at 25:18 and went straight to your channel and went bulb shopping with you. I think you should definitely keep that Drape Dress and wear it proudly! You have a new friend and fashion devotee in Tennessee❤

[@ARNECARLOS]

Glad you enjoyed this week’a episode, Kate, and thanks for providing us with such fantastic content. We ❤️ your channel! We are definitely looking forward to finding more about the Sizzix

[@shireetropix6360]

@@ARNECARLOS there are also electric machines and quite a number of different brands and sizes. Accuquilt make the specifically for fabrics and have a hexagon die that will cut 6 layers accurately. Sizzix will cut not only the papers but the fabric too! Enjoy!

[@tonyawhite7932]

I am happy to now subscribe to Kate! Thanks Arne & Carlos!

[@sandraengstrand2784]

Kate is so fabulous, as are Arne and Carlos!!! 🧵✂️❤️🧶

[@momgrandma5496]

Watching you, Arne and Carlos, is like when people would sit by the radio decades ago. I don’t watch television anymore.

[@kathleeneilenfeldt9127]

No TV for me either... nothing I would want to watch

[@lindawilson8434]

I am marathon watching the both of you while I am anxiously awaiting results here in the USA I pray we get rid of this cruel cruel man

[@catherinepowers2750]

How perfect! My two FAVORITES ! Arne and Carlos and the Last Homely House! How I’ve avoided the blues in 2020!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Good to hear.

[@monikawidensky8815]

I am one of the people who first watched Kate’s videos on “The last homely house” and ended up also with your channel during lock down. These two channels felt like medicine against all the bad news we got. So thanks for keeping us sane!

[@lyndasnart7823]

So totally agree with you 🇦🇺🌍😷👍

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@sherinylund1659]

The world needs more DUGNAD and FIKA! Love these words! Thank you for sharing.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome and that is very true!

[@patarcher1813]

My heart is going to be made into a pillow for my son. In the height of the covid pandemic he went to NYC to help out. He's a medic. During the time he was away a lot of people were putting hearts in their windows in support of the medical people doing their jobs to heal the sick. He gets very embarrassed at any kind of recognition, but I think if mom makes it, it'll be acceptable.

[@ARNECARLOS]

That is very kind of you, he truly deserves it.

[@LightFigure888]

Such a lovely square 100 thousand ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@stefanied.1984]

I am knitting since three years and my daily present for me is watching your videos. Thanks sooooo much

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@sueroberts2301]

I came to you via Kate’s recommendation, how nice to hear your lovely comments about her and her channel.

[@ARNECARLOS]

😀

[@chrishicks5359]

I just recently discoveed kate! I am really enjoying her vlog. I think I love the sit and knit a bit with you because it really is talking about creativity as much as anything and I love the ideas. I also just discovered a hand sewer called Dinlife- and she is very creative with sewing... no speaking. Just sewing. Wonderful. I think you would enjoy her as well.

[@meghanwieters9592]

The turquoise critters across the dickie remind me of the video game Space Invaders. . . whimsical!

[@ARNECARLOS]

😀

[@sylvienguyen3361]

Fika is exactly how I enjoy coffee. Thank you for another nice sharing of video.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching!

[@Ann-rf2wt]

I’m here with a cup of coffee and hand stitching a patchwork quilt and feeling so grateful for the effort you both put in producing a wonderful podcast for your viewers to enjoy. Thank YOU for the laughter, information and the joy of listening to two amazing men, love Ann xx

[@Ann-rf2wt]

I’ve subscribed to Kate’s great channel!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Great!

[@heyBrownBerry]

I just love hearing podcasters "share the love" amongst each other. I'm such a fan of Kate at the Last Homely House, and it's fun to spend time with all of you. I agree - let's get her to 100K! @The Last Homely House Also, Arne - I can't wait to see your hexagon quilt!

[@ARNECARLOS]

We should all support each other as we can.

[@mrsrabbitsmoments8854]

How wonderful that you've found Kate! Marvellous positive energy abounds in both your podcasts xxx

[@ARNECARLOS]

😀

[@elizabethcourtney1544]

Kitchen is the heart of the home no matter where you are.

[@ARNECARLOS]

True.

[@phyllisogis129]

Here it is February 2021 and I’ve only just come upon your Sit and Knit for a Bit podcasts ! I am totally hooked, especially as here on Salt Spring Island we are presently buried under more than a foot of snow and not much is moving. So here I sit knitting on my Foggy Rock merino wool socks and being so entertained by your delightful chats. Outside the birds are peeking in my door looking for handouts so as they won’t come in I do put out bird seed for them and they also entertain by busily chasing each other away. Varied thrush, so handsome, towhees, robins, fox sparrows, song sparrow and flocks of juncos. Hummingbirds have already built nests and are able to find food and shelter in spite of the snow. I so enjoy your garden podcasts as well. Beautiful! Thank you, and keep on posting. Pats to the pups 🐾🐾

[@BettySusanne]

I have discovered Kate at the last homely house during the pandemic and have enjoyed many moments on the lime green sofa. Thanks for shining a light on this amazing woman. There’s always more room on the sofa. Pass the biscuits 🍪 💚🇨🇦

[@ARNECARLOS]

😀

[@marinawilkinson5840]

Hi lovely men. I’m sitting and knitting (socks) and now enjoying listening to you two. 🧶❤️🧶❤️🧶❤️🧶 UK

[@annglaister]

Me too 😀😀🍁🍂🇬🇧

[@GrapeApe2018]

FOR CARLOS... I have discovered a new love of watercolors all over again with the newish self filling water color pens. The bristles are fabulous and you can get the exact colors you want because you mix them yourself.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@terrybuckalew6874]

A hurricane is headed to the gulf states in America and we just had Hurricane Sally. It makes everyone run to the grocery stores and gas stations to prepare. It is good to watch you both knowing you are safe and sound.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Make sure you stay safe!

[@annglaister]

We’re in the UK and my daughter is called Sally! Lol she is one of the gentlest people you could ever meet, just hope her namesake same storm was also kind to you. Sending you greetings from Kent U.K 😀😀🇬🇧🍂🍂

[@cw8011]

The best 45 minutes spent this morning!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@annetteferrari8093]

OMG! I want coffee and cake now. Bring on the Fika!!! Thanks for another fun episode. Looking forward to Kate's channel. :-)

[@ARNECARLOS]

Always fika.

[@yarn_dragon]

I love the 100,000 Hearts square! I think it’s the best one of all! 💕

[@candeeharris7509]

You are both so funny and enjoyable to spend time with. Thank you for sharing 🧶🧦💕

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome.

[@joyceward5477]

So glad you found Kate, The Last Homely House. I've been following her for a few months and I love it. Its helped me get through this quarantine. Lots of wonderful people and things going on in the world.

[@ARNECARLOS]

That is very true.

[@terichiarelli6210]

Yay!!! Kate from “the last homely house” love her!!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

She is great.

[@luciaevangelho4593]

Kate is lovely. Thanks for recommending her. You guys are great too!

[@beverlyness7954]

I love the 1,000,000 hearts block. I collect hearts and and this one is beautiful. Thank you!

[@ulli4303]

And by the way... Your scandinavian language courses really influence me... All week I had the word nostepinne in my ear... I called my cats that way... They seemed to like norwegian

[@ulli4303]

Hello boys, there is so much to learn from Scandinavia... All those little rituals that make life in the cold and dark times of the year so much nicer... I just love them!!!! What a useful inspiration right now

[@kiztorres3218]

How wonderful! I'm a fan of Kate from the Last Homely House too. And here I am, quilting a little more while listening to you. My two favourite podcasts! Thank you!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Enjoy your quilting.

[@summerking8659]

The hearts block is just beautiful - thank you Arne x

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@tinekejoldersma]

Love Kates "Last homely house"(east of the sea). Subscribed for a long time now. I love her pink and greens, the window in the kitchen. Her patchwork blankets, Eilene the goose and her cats. Norma always there to take the attention. Small snippets of her family. What a great way to help each other with share skills. Like skillshare at the moment. . Moose hunt, oh no! 30 253 shot in 2019/2020. I was shocked to find wolves are allowed to be hunt too!

[@carolynhoover9444]

I watch Kate as well. This us how I found Arne and Carlos! Eileen is such a funny goose

[@pattiwankenobi]

Wednesday is my new favorite day of the week. Loved sitting your kitchen with you today. I was drinking some tea at my desk. I am not a designer, but it was so interesting to get a glimpse of how you design and create! I also love the words of the day.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@janed.9907]

My fondest memories are of spending time in the kitchen with my Danish mom and Grandma. Lots of coffee and streusel coffee cake and talk, talk, talk. And Arne, I sympathize with you waiting for your curls to come back. I lost all my hair to chemotherapy treatments last year and it’s coming back very, very slowly. Thanks for spending time with us.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for joining us and glad to hear that you are well from your chemotherapy!

[@ellenlevanites3559]

I watch Arne, Carlos and Kate. So much fun.

[@ARNECARLOS]

The best!

[@siluna2654]

Hello Arne and Carlos🥰....I am so happy to have caught the podcast. Lol!... I’m not a Moose

[@siluna2654]

Exquisite explanation for cataloging moments of your lives. One of the reasons my name has been made. I was unable to speak English in school and my Art teacher became my Hero. He was able to teach me how to express how I feel thru different mediums....may it have been clay,paint or stories of his own experience. I believe the children in the school have been given that gift of Art thru your own love and lessons,and carry that moment with them forever. Many blessings and Love Arne and Carlos💕

[@lauralea86]

Hey Carlos, have you ever watched the film “A Christmas Story”? You might find one of the scenes amusing. And, it just might remind you of your childhood and that winter you spent in Sweden. I am having baked maple and apple oatmeal and hot tea. It is delicious, but your bun looks Devine.

[@annglaister]

Lol we thought that too.... Ralphys little brother, Randy, being dressed for school Its exactly as Carlos described 😀😀

[@kelleyjogirl]

" Preparing to go to school was like getting ready for extended seep sea diving." Classic!

[@ellensweat5251]

I am blocking a new shawl while spending time with you both today. Enjoy our time together.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for joining!

[@maymie54]

I love you guys! Thanks for sharing the Norwegian culture, Norwegian words and the block patterns. Stay well!

[@lizcooney4215]

I spent a week in Stockholm, and one of my fondest memories is having Fika! You are right....the atmosphere must be right. Sadly, in North America we are missing this entirely. I think here everyone is always in a rush. Cars are lined up for a fast take-out. They won't even get out of their cars! ~

[@ARNECARLOS]

We should all take some time to enjoy our coffee..

[@sparklie962]

Thanks, super interesting podcast today. The best parties always seem to wind up in the kitchen, don't they? We actually call them kitchen parties and you know your party is a success if your guests settle in there. I don't even pretend to have any other type of party - my dinner guests now generally come early to hang out with me while I cook. I feel more relaxed when I can enjoy a laugh and a sip of wine with my friends while I peel and chop. I also really enjoyed seeing your sketches and am very excited about doing your new Christmas stocking pattern. I love the motifs and the colours you used for it - so bright and happy.

[@ARNECARLOS]

The kitchen is the best.

[@laurelrobbins8673]

I want to thank you both for giving us something positive to watch during all of the things that we are going through here in the United States. I smile through your entire podcasts every single time I watch one of them!

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad they make you happy.

[@kathypeduzzi6764]

Growing up the kitchen was the gathering place in our house, I still love being in my kitchen just to sit and enjoy peace and quiet

[@ARNECARLOS]

The kitchens is the heart of the house.

[@elbertajohnson937]

Ya, more Fika. Yes Arne we need to take a step back. Old ways are best sometimes loved walking to get a newspaper and have coffee with friends ❤️. Love your podcasts, especially. These Sit and Knit for a Bit. Take care. In USA we wear bright orange for hunter safety FYI

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for the hunter safety tip!

[@pinkygsand]

So happy that you mentioned Kate’s channel. I’ve been following her’s too. Thanks for making this COVID situation more bearable and for inspiring me to create more. Wishing you more success in your endeavors!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@karensimmons1446]

Thank you again for coming by to visit. I think we are having bear season for bow hunters right now. Thank you for the lovely pattern. Our weather has been gorgeous, I wish I could share. Stay healthy!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You aswell!

[@memefraser3961]

Great visit, thank you. I really enjoyed your chat regarding your sketches. Brought back great memories when I use to paint. That was before I discovered quilting and picking up my knitting needles again lol. Not enough time to do everything. Love your new words. Thank you for all you share. 🧶🧶🇨🇦

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome.

[@cathytorres3145]

Thanks for another fun session! I was giggling because I’m drinking my tea today from a fox mug, having been woke up in the wee hours from the noise of our resident fox family (properly known as a skulk). Maybe your fox deserves a block dedicated to him and his antics like shoe stealing, hahaha. Perhaps you might enjoy using some game cameras in your garden; we have a couple on our property and love watching our visitors, including a mama black bear and her three cubs! Last fall, black bears invaded our orchard and ate all of my pears. BTW, I’ve knitted blaze orange hats for wearing in our woods during hunting seasons here, just to be safe, I even wear one to walk out our very long drive to the mailbox! Not so cute, but necessary, so I understand completely. Be well and safe

[@ARNECARLOS]

Such a sneaky fox.

[@vivianpowell1732]

Just saw that today, October 10th, is World Porridge Day.

[@avrilcrisp5725]

I made my porridge then couldn't eat it. Yuck :)

[@sharonrhoads2461]

I watch Kate all the time. She is awesome, very welcoming to her space.

[@ARNECARLOS]

😄

[@judithmitchellthedevotedlu3087]

I always save up your Sit and Knit for a Bit until Saturday mornings, when I make myself some breakfast in bed, my knitting nearby and enjoy your ramblings. Thank you for Kate’s channel recommendation. I have subscribed and now it looks like I won’t be getting out of bed till noon. 😊

[@auchenshugglegranny]

Carlos your description of being dressed for the cold reminds me of a Scots phrase aw claise meaning all clothes

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@mixedandknot5911]

Hello my two favorite guys, Do you have an indoor bright light that can pick up your mood, Carlos? Also, can you suggest bushes and plants for winter? My yard is behaving moody like Carlos when the weather is gray-ish. Feel better and look great. Love ya

[@ARNECARLOS]

Maybe we can have that as a topic for a future tutorial.

[@vickiecrabtree301]

I have been a subscriber to Kate's channel for a while now, and I absolutely love her. If you are familiar with who Mr Rogers was in the US, she is his female counterpart. So soft spoken, and kind. Such a peaceful and lovely podcast.

[@ruthkoons6234]

Thank you for sharing Kate and the Last Homely House. It’s a lovely channel, a lovely gift 🦋

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome Ruth!

[@helenmawdsley4988]

hahaah! yes! was thinking that too!!

[@MyDaisy66]

It’s so wonderful that you mentioned a Kate’s Channel at The last homely house. We love her. I watch her almost everyday, as I watch videos I’ve already seen. She cheers me up as you both do. 🌺

[@ARNECARLOS]

😃

[@maryjozurawski8318]

Thank you for welcoming us all into your lovely, warm home. I too miss reading my paper with a cappuccino and a pastry with friends. Stay warm and have a wonderful week!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@juliegogo2941]

Sit and knit reminds me when I was a child. My grandmother had a sewing group, mornings once a week and they rotated homes. She had me serve them the desert type thing and coffee, when it was her turn. Then when I was in college my mom started a needlepoint group plus, luncheon group. My mom was a master needlepointer. Good to sit and knit a bit. It is our melanin to white very near genes ancestry, didn't the danish island prehistoric find....she had or was depicted with curly hair. Is there Viking knitting museum in Norway? Road trip? Like the red accented turtleneck sweater, a play of different textiles?. Larger peoples do some vertical lines verses the horizontal there aren't many patterns. Unless you are a referee. Impressive the museum with the traveling exhibition, and the children's needle work. Do the thumbs up too helps spread it across the KZbin, I think. Thanks

[@LightFigure888]

Julie Gogo I live in the sub-tropics so we meet to weave, so a bit like sit & knit for a bit, but with natural weaving and herbal tea outside under the trees, and we spray/sprites ourselves with rose water, or some water with a tiny bit of essential oil to refresh ourselves. And of course share some yummy homemade food

[@cheryla.8368]

You are so talented and creative. How wonderful that you are inspiring young children and you were so kind to point out the unusual pieces. I bought one of those yarn winders and liked it.

[@elizabethcourtney1544]

Enjoying my cup of coffee with you in my Arne & Carlos mug. Cheers!

[@annaknitter]

It is so lovely to sit with you two in that lovely and gemütlich ( cozy in German 😊) szenery! Carlos you are so Right with the coffeeshops. When I lived in Vienna I enjoyed the oldfashioned coffeeshops where you you sit all day only drinking this one coffee and reading all the newspapers from all over the world they had there for you. Other people played games or cards. And not to forget the great cakes you can get in Vienna. The kitchen has always been the place I enjoyed the most visiting my grant aunts. With the old stove. Hygge! Gemütlich!

[@ARNECARLOS]

We couldn't agree more with you!

[@annaknitter]

Oh my gosh all the typos 🙈 sorry. Autocorrect by my iPad 🙈 corrected everything

[@debradockendorf8711]

I so enjoyed Sit and Knit for a Bit today. I am half Swedish and remember my grandmother sitting down for Fika every afternoon. I didn’t know what it was called, but it is a strong memory of grandma drinking a cup of coffee and enjoying a sweet. Towards the end of my parents’ lives, they would enjoy fika together and often invited me to join them. I lived with them at the time and my dad would call upstairs asking me to take a break. Thank you for these wonderful memories today ❤️

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome and we are glad you liked it.

[@susandorrington7623]

Ten thousand hearts back to you too! We can all have fika on Kate's virtual Lime Green Sofa -- it stretches around the world and there is always space for all of us on it!

[@ARNECARLOS]

That is very true.

[@cherylannwartman]

You both make me smile. I am recovering from cataract surgery and it is so great to relax with both of you. It makes me want to vlog again.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We hope you get better soon.

[@RosannaRiondato]

I watched this whole episode with a big smile on my face. Love the attention you brought to Kate's channel that stems from the Norwegian philosophy behind the "dugnad" custom - most commendable. The "fika" moment was quite enjoyable as well. Loved the "100,000 hearts" block design dedicated to all of us. The design is absolutely lovely. Thank you again for a most enjoyable podcast.

[@christinemclean6943]

I really enjoy watching and listening to your podcasts. You guys are great. I’m glad you enjoy watching Kate also. She is wonderful. It feels like I’m just listening to friends. Thank you....

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for joining us today Christine!

[@DonnaBMacK]

I love these relaxed chats in the kitchen. Thank you very much for sharing about your lives, and about Norway. Take care!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You as well!

[@gingermolinero8386]

Arne and Carlos I love the 100,000 hearts block and both of you. Thank you so much for Sit and Knit for a Bit. As I visit with both of you I am crocheting a baby blanket for a friends new baby. Wishing you continued good health

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Ginger.

[@chrishicks5359]

I have just recently discovered Kate! She is lovely - I am fascinated by her creativity and obvious enjoyment of it! Another young woman I have discovered is I believe a Chinese woman who doesn’t talk at all but does hand sewing and it is beautiful she does everything in miniature, except she does books, And lovely little things. She is now doing a series about 12 Christmas things. I printed out the pattern and I am going to make the little teddy bear she just recently logged about. I love wonderful creative people who aren’t stuck in just one craft because it sparked my imagination. Thank you for doing sit And knit for a bit, because I love the discussion and creativeness! Thank you for doing it!

[@jacquiwilson1483]

Sit and knit a bit should be laugh along g with Arne and Carlos. You guys are hilarious!!!!!!. So enjoyable to share with you in your lovely home and have tea and a chat. Thank you. You make an old lady happy. Lol Jacqui UK x

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@loraparker3235]

Here from The Last Homely House shout out! Thank you for supporting Ms. Kate as you have. I would call this “paying it forward” as you encourage her and she encourages you and you all encourage us, the viewers. I don’t know how to knit and barely know how to crochet but maybe you can teach me. Much love from Arkansas, US.

[@kimknowles9861]

I love hearing about how you guys go through the design process and how your fashion design evolved into knitwear. I LOVE art markers and color pencils!! My favorite drawing mediums. I was a landscape architect for 20+ years before teaching high school art. We guide all of our work through the lens of the design cycle. You guys are the highlight of my week every week!!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Kim!

[@sarahtwamley3508]

Thanks for sharing your audience with others. I am excited to visit Kate and The Last Homely House. Yay! Beautiful 100k Heart block ❤.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@lygiabing4936]

Hello Arne and Carlos, I've been a subscriber for years since you started. I've loved crocheting your blankets and bring me so much enjoyment. I must say that your videos have just gone from strength to strength and you both have come a long way in front of the screen and how your content is developing. I look forward to many more.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@anu_T95]

Hi, I am an Indian living in UK . I came across your channel while looking up on Nordic knitting.I am a self taught knitter and have been knitting for the past 5 years using acrylic yarns. You have given me confidence to try natural fibers and attempt colour work. thanks a lot. At the moment I have frogged most all my earlier work and using the yarn to make a crocheted bed spread . By the way the word "Fika" means bland in Hindi- it is a language spoken widely in India !!!

[@annglaister]

How lovely to hear the Hindi word Bland for Fika , thank you for sharing that ...I don’t think we have anything similar in the U.K do we? Except for our love of talking about the weather whilst drinking our tea ☕️ 😀😀

[@jeannecoffey8545]

That’s the best block so far! Love hearts. Thanks Arne & Carlos

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome.

[@gretchen292]

Kate is the greatest! Thanks for the hint. And glad to help her out!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Good.

[@allthingsthread]

Thank-you for adding the Sit and Knit for a Bit I am really enjoying them. I have been a subscriber for a long time and have followed Kate from her beginning. I enjoy learning about our cultural differences yet also know we makers are so much the same. Thank-you again from rural Saskatchewan Canada. 🇨🇦😊

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome.

[@henrysmyj7862]

It is pure joy to watch both of you and feel so involved and learn so much. I was introduced to Kate at The Last Homely House by my beautiful sister who is an avid knitter, as am I. It was from that intro. that we came across your videos, via Kate's wonderful recommendations. Living in Canada, one can relate to many things, especially the cold, snowy winters and the eventual beauty of summer and the gardens. I must also add that your artistic designs and love for watercolour, Carlos, reflect my love for painting in that medium, so it is even more to enjoy as a sit down chat with friends. Thank you!!!

[@donnastubbs9525]

Another wonderful video of inspiration!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Donna.

[@alysonrodrigues122]

Hey guys; love the. Norwegian ethic/ tradition of ‘dugna’ . Paying it forward. It’s fab . Love the commemorative piece offered to you both . It’s a wonderful keepsake and a great talking piece. Thanks for the heart block. Love to you both and Freya. XXX

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Alyson!

[@joycerichards5699]

Hi Arne & Carlos, I got up early this morning and watched this episode. Lovely. Show your mess, please. I love seeing your place.

[@vanana20]

Love your podcasts so much! Thank you for all you do. I so agree with your comment about children and arts. I have 3 granddaughters and when they visit I try to plan crafty things for them to do and they love it. I have taught them to knit, sew, make jewelry, do pour painting, tie dye, and paint on fabric. I don’t know how much it will stick with them but at least they are finding it fun and putting down their electronics for awhile. I’m going now to watch Kate’s podcast!

[@ARNECARLOS]

We hope you enjoy it!

[@suehorn4182]

I’ve been reading about Norway and your culture. It sounds wonderful. So inclusive. Time for other people. ❤️

[@cherolynwolf5913]

I watch Kate’s last homely house, and now the two of you, and love you both.

[@charlotteeardly3040]

Just ordered your mug. Thank you for taking the time to make all your fabulous videos. Love listening to you and to your funny stories! I loved the cattle story Arne! I used to pick up snails ( to eat) with my grandma in France and that was very weird!

[@crochetingknitter4751]

Yay! Love Kate. She’s a big fan of yours as we all are!

I so enjoy this new addition to your KZbin channel. I love learning about different places and lifestyles around the world and watching or listening to knitting related podcasts is a fun way to do this.

Thank you for mentioning Kate at the Last Homely House. I have been a patron for over a year and here I am at your station by recommendation of Kate. I’m not a knitter so it was heartwarming to hear you say work on anything you enjoy. I work in the crazy healthcare world so these vlogs are how I unwind at the end of my day. We discontinued expensive tv cable service and haven’t missed it one bit. Thank you Arne and Carlos, blessings.

Thank you for sharing so much of yourselves. I am of Norwegian ancestry so love all the information on words, food and celebrations.

I know I’m late with this comment but I have to add that your well deserved endorsement of Kate at the Last Homely House is the most generous and heartfelt I have ever seen and, of course, true of her and also of you both, Arne and Carlos.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you, she has a very nice channel!

Hi Arne and Carlos, I had a lovely fika with you. I think you have created a lovely community and I’m so happy to be part of it. I was sent to you at the beginning of lockdown by Kate at the last homely house and you and Kate definitely made the last 6months bearable. ❤️

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for joining us.

I am also a huge Kate fan, we have lots in common. She too is a 60+ beekeeper! When I made the quilt with hexagons i arranged them into the pattern called Grandmother's Flower Garden. The hexagon are arranged with a center hex (yellow), then surrounded with same color hexagon to form the flower, then all the "flowers" are connected with hexagon to form the path(green). Take a look at this pattern...reminds me of a quilted version of your crochet flower blankets. I'm really enjoying the Sit and knit.

Lovely as always. I did crochet another flower in between laughing with you both. Thank you so much xx

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome Lynne.
