Ep. 5 Sit and Knit for a Bit with ARNE & CARLOS on a Sunday.🧶 🧶

[@victoriapowell404]

Cutest toys ever. You are so lucky to have them. Very special and hard to find. Thank you for sharing them with us. 🤩

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@iebaanderson8980]

Hey 😊nice to see you! I’m curious about your new kitchen, when will you show us. Thanks for a charming visit. Ingrid.

[@cindytenis7275]

I love Carlos’ sweater. I have a love of roses.

[@Fitz-14]

Love you guys!!! Thanks for doing this for us!! ❤❤❤

[@victoriaratajeski6843]

The Pied Piper of Hamelin is the fairy tale! Very interesting chat today! Love all of your tin toys!

[@shamszakhour6076]

Knitting while listening to you two feels like listening to my two favorite (and amusing) uncles. Except I have no uncles. ;)

[@abcd43373]

A proud Peruvian here listening you talking about my heritage

[@phoebeegray]

Oh wow!!!!! Your tin toys, they are soooooooo cool! What a fine collection ❤️❤️❤️

[@inezwalsh2584]

Your table cloth is a masterpiece,and to add the butterflies and flowers wow,wow,you are a master Arne…

[@monikamoews1192]

"Der Rattenfänger von Hameln" is the srory of the man with the flute☝

[@MrsKWheatley]

I love how free your creativity is. You allow yourselves to dabble in so many arts and crafts, and this cross-fertilisation is what makes your style so unique and liberating. Thank you for the inspiration x

[@jennyweyman3039]

Oh boy, so many memories. I remember my grandmother sewing lace underpants and bra onto my tiny new doll. She must've been 10cm tall. Being creative every day in all situations is a ✨gift✨

[@hilde6300]

We have the very same duck. So cute. That painting wil be very beautiful 😍👍🍀🍀🙋‍♀️

[@patriciayanez8663]

Another Proud Peruvian here too !! Lovely sweaters !! Regards

[@blasebaker]

Hi guys. Happy to see you.

[@anitajohannadrost]

👍😁🤩🥰🍀thank you.

[@knackfulknitter]

RE: King Crabs…Arne: I am their natural enemy. 🤣🤣🤣 I am crocheting a pastel pink cotton Five-Sided Pineapple Doily from a 1984 book for my mother during this SANFAB. Wonderful way to spend the hour. ☺💕

[@debbiestallard694]

One of you drop the other one off with the bags at the boat terminal and the go park at the airport and take the transit back to the ship without having I ng to bother with the luggage.😂

[@emiliabarbosa8835]

You guys should totally write a new book on dolls and their houses and attire. I bet it will be full of stunning patterns! ❤

[@taniabishop]

I love tin toys as well! My cousin and I Gifted one to my mum. It is an elephant sitting a globe with hat. When the toy is wound up the elephant hat has two aeroplanes that “take off” and fly in a circle around the globe. It is lots of fun 🤩

[@tiffanyflammel6053]

I love the white n red , blue sweeter

[@sleeplessinscandia6452]

Those tin toys are so much fun. We also had some that vibrate and we’d wind em up and set them on a table or floor and they move with the vibration. Races were fun! ❤

[@anitasimaganis5449]

Love that blue sweater By walk by shoes

[@jwillar6173]

Delightful!

[@lynnbean7200]

I love your tablecloth and will try to put aside my fear of crochet to make it lol. Can't wait for the pattern. Thanks for a fun episode.

[@susanteminsky1078]

SAKFAB is fun and inspiring. Thanks for doing these videos!

[@GSusie]

Love king crab, Arne. And, I don’t care how much it costs! The toys are delightful. Yes, I look forward to seeing the new kitchen. Thanks for sharing.

[@butterflyrocket9861]

Mini-Blythe!! I'm glad to see her. I love tin toys too. I'm look forward to seeing Arne's painted!

[@heidilady]

Oh my! If you have a trip to Peru, I am going for sure!!!!

[@meatdog]

This is my absolute favorite to watch. I love to hear all the things you 2 are up to. Have you shown the new kitchen yet?

[@dianeduquette8777]

Love your sweaters

[@florenceluo5984]

For Arne’s sweater, I love the inside! I hope you guys make a pattern with that!

[@Tinacrafts2]

I so enjoyed seeing your fabulous tin toys. It reminds me of the antique toy puzzle 🧩 Arne was doing and I ended up buying as well 🤭. Guess 🦀 crabs as an invasive species is not as bad as bugs. At least you can eat them.

[@aminavarga5944]

Love the tin toys, I remember seeing some similar ones in my grandparents’ attic. The crochet tablecloth will be awesome! The starving mouse, oh my! In Hungarian we call it the church mouse, because there is not much food to eat in the church 😂

[@ottarsdatter]

I think the "paper spreader" is a spreader made out of paper. In the US we call it a tortillon (the French name) and it's used to smear (there's our favorite word again!)--I say you use them to smear, or blend, pastel colors together for nice gradations. Double-ended ones are called stumps. They're made of tightly wound paper and you can clean or sharpen them with fine sandpaper.

[@rachelmolina3995]

I love your "everything" podcast. It's really enjoyable. Thank you!

[@kathleenallan321]

Catching up day! If you want to use the wood glue outside, you can use what old wooden schooner builders used. To the wood glue and sawdust, mix in spar varnish.!!!

[@CathyJames-b8z]

You guys are soooo interesting to listen to...

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!!

[@ClaireWhoMakesThings]

Lovely episode boys. I was so excited to see you sitting in front of the doll houses. Your Blythe petite looks very at home in her new home. My petite Blythe Wilma, isn’t authentic, but I love her all the same, however I bought an authentic Petite Blythe from 2004 last week, and she arrived this week. She is darling, and came with a china tea set. I’ve not named her yet, but her official name is Kitchen Queen. I got her at a great price (inbox) but she has a stain on her apron. I’m not overly bothered as I will make clothes for her.

[@cherylg.813]

Hugs! ❤😘

[@ivylady13]

For holes in the walls where mice can come in. The sawdust and glue combo you used can still be nibbled on by the mouse. Use Steel Wool....they come in bundles, stuff some in the hole and the mice won't eat it or get through it.

[@paulinecastle1138]

I’ve used steel wool too. Worked perfectly

[@Katrv10]

It’s a joy to chat up with you guys. ❤❤ You’re the best couple and perfectly matched.

[@JannPatterson]

Thanks so much for the pattern sale. I bought 12. I hope I can actually make some of the ones I purchased. I really love watching you guys. Since I mostly watch on TV I can't comment there. I was hoping to catch you live today but I was too late. Maybe next week.

[@LesleyWeymouth]

I love Lewis and Irene fabrics. The quality is beautiful.

[@holly-go-lightly]

So much creative talent under one roof!

[@nathanjeriwalker2858]

Yay! I'm going to be on the cruise with you on Feb 5th! I'm so excited to meet you both and have some king crab!

[@lisajahn6839]

Excellent episode! Thank you all very much! Be well, stay safe all.👍💜💞😊🥰

[@viridiangreen8259]

Always a pleasure

[@michelemurnane2834]

Yes, I love both of you and love hearing about your lives. Nice doll houses and dolls.

[@gwenh2088]

Great show! Lots of useful tips and info, always interesting. Thank you!

[@janetwilliams2314]

Such a lovely and interesting conversation, perfect for my knitting. Thank you.

[@58calangel]

So much fun! So many cute things you showed us. I was laughing about the King Crabs 😂

[@karenaskinas1135]

I love the sweaters and the tin toys are fabulous! We have a few that were my dad's toys.

[@MaryBethKelso]

I loved seeing your collection of vintage wind-up toys! Next time you're in Chicago, I recommend staying at Ray's Bucktown B&B. They have collections of everything everywhere.

[@sandrasmith3258]

Happy 2024! Nice to see you again. I love your doll houses, I have one myself. They are so much fun to decorate.

[@marcelashome4141]

What beautiful toys!

[@cristinaslaughter6025]

😮 O, those toys! The little girl! ❤ Puss in Boots! Just lovely! I truly appreciate the information Norway’s “must see” sites. Arne: King Crabs’ natural enemy! 😂 As always, thank you for sharing and doing so with such joy and grace.❤

[@patriciamm9859]

Your energy is palpable at this gloomy season in Quebec. Not a bit of sun for days on end. The temperature has been mild however, so one can't complain. You never cease to amaze me. Your hobbies and passions are heartwarming to listen to. Love the smiles and chuckles. Keep up the good work.

[@dragonknitter]

My grandma had a similar motorcycle. She called it a friction racer. Wish I had it now

[@paulacummings966]

I love the dollhouse & dolls, as well as the knitwear designs. Have you ever designed knits that are doll-sized? Or knit decor for dollhouses?

[@donnahart823]

I have the 1970’s Lunde dollhouse too. It was a mess when I got it. I papered the walls, added rugs and lots and lots of furniture and caches.

[@ceciliacondal958]

Hi dear Arne and Carlos....Nice to be with you this evening knitting while it rains a lot outside.❤

[@marcelashome4141]

Hello from England 😊

[@suzannethwing5211]

Arne and Carlos, finding you, through,” The Last Homely House”, video series, which I also just found, has been a Godsend. I’ve knitted since I was 4, and knew that my great Grandmother Mary Knudsen came from Ringsaker, Norway, but that’s it. No traditions, no food, nothing, though I heard about lutefisk, but have never seen nor ate it. No Christmas cookies etc., so really a complete blank. It wasn’t until I was in a textile show about Scandinavian roots, did it really strike me how empty that answer was. May way forward was to bring what I knew from other countries and hope that at some point I would discover more, but due to the timeline of creating a piece for the show, I stayed with what I knew, which was using full cloth to compose a vest, that used a Finish lock of putting rough yarn fleece threw some of the body, needle felting star like flowers ( Maremeko) that I loved from a glazed piece of Danish pottery. I also added a Navaho ply black wool line throughout the body as that was in the pottery piece as well. The show was in Finland at their Historical Craft and Textile Museum, and my daughter was kind enough to go with me as I’d never traveled before. We also ended our trip in Stockholm which was a treat to get to Sweden as well, but now finding you I have finally found a way to learn the ways of traditional and modern Norway from my old house,1874, built by a Norwegian man,Lars, in my southern Minnesota town. Thank you so much for sharing your talents and heritage with the world . Wishing you Infinite Blessings❤

[@lottesroom]

Love your tin toys! Why are they not on display? They would look SO nice on a shelf.

[@LizNeff-v1g]

With you two sitting in front of your doll houses and then pulling out the tin toys, I suddenly remembered that my dollhouse was made of pressed tin. It must have been common in the 50s. Anyway, thank you for the reminder. That was fun.

[@patsyyoung3482]

I love the tablecloth. It’s beautiful and can’t wait for the pattern. You are a very clever with whatever you do and I enjoy seeing the op shops you visit and all the craft. You are very loving and respectful to each other and I really enjoy watching you both. Greetings from Australia.

[@jepa21951]

I’ve stayed in that hotel! It was amazing! I bought a watercolor painting right out in front as we were leaving. I think I paid $3. It’s hanging on my travel wall.

[@TinaHale1]

When I was on the Nordnorge in November, we went on the trip “Taste of Vesteralen” it was amazing😊

[@emiliabarbosa8835]

Love the white tablecloth for this summer's crochet project, can't wait ❤

[@shanikiczek7816]

Arne, you are thinking of The Pied Piper for the mouse guy😄

[@Auntie7024]

Wonderful chat today, Arne and Carlos. I love the little tin collectibles. You have many curiosities - such fun! Have a lovely Sunday. ❤😊

[@chrisdonohoo]

From other videos, I like your polar bears! 🦄🐻‍❄

[@SuziQZ]

Omg that small dollhouse! I had one just like it when I was little! What memories I had seeing that in your background 🥰

[@Barbaraslife44]

Love to see the doll house. It looks beautiful ❤

[@cathyhawkins9264]

I’m so excited you’re designing with Lewis and Irene. I’m a knitter and a quilter so I’ll have to make a quilt from your line! Yippee!

[@carrielovesfanta]

I'm not having a great day but I laughed so hard at the thought of Arne being the natural predator of the king crab

[@finleykim]

I love the sweater design in white, red and blue!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@Tichaba124]

Oh my!! Those toys are amazing!!! Thank you for sharing!!! Love your dollhouses! So much inspiration!😊. From USA

[@светлана-г7т3ю]

Sky is blue. Cool! I understand English! Greetings from Ukraine!

[@paigemcmasters6520]

It's so fun to have the adventure finding your collectable toys! They're wonderful!

[@ruthleonard5590]

You guys are hilarious! Of course you play with your tin toys! They sound like so much fun, from the shopping for then to the day dreaming and planning projects with them. Sounds so satisfying! As always, thank you for sharing with us!

[@debbiegosselin7395]

Lol, Arne you're a man after my own heart. I have so many ideas and buy the supplies and then find I don't have enough hours in a day!! Can hardly wait for your butterfly tablecloth pattern.

[@leylamoossavi]

The inside of that sweater would be an amazing pattern to knit!! Good to see you guys again

[@alisongove-humphries3421]

I am so glad you extended the sale. I was crestfallen yesterday when I thought I had missed it. Oh the joy when I bought about 14 patterns!!!🥰

[@nancyjoyce5493]

Cannot wait to see the tablecloth with the flowers and butterflies. I'm eagerly awaiting the fabric line, too. Love the tin toys, and I understand you wanting to find them for yourselves, Carlos. I collect elephants, and I too like to look for them. However, my daughters (in-law) like to surprise me with all kinds of elephants. Because of them, each one they bring me holds a special place in my heart, but I still prefer to hunt myself. Love the tip about the wood glue and sawdust, before applying the spackle. My husband is like Arne: more king crab! See you soon! 🥰

[@deborahlee4941]

I love your collection of wind up toys, Arne.

[@joygieseke581]

Oh my goodness you guys have really figured out how to have fun! I love it.

[@sandrazboinski6473]

Enjoyed visiting. Love the mechanical toys. 😊

[@pamelamckenzie2685]

I love the jumper you making and the lovely butterflies you have made I looking at knitting flowers oh I love the tin toys Pide Piper the one that played the flute great video

[@eerindiraarora6921]

So interesting ... those toys, the fireplace and how you're going to fix it... Arne is so inspired and inspiring. Enjoyed watching , as always.

[@michelemurnane2834]

I love your metal toys. I had that duck, but gave it away.

[@SparrowFowler]

Hi from Edmonton Canada! We’re out of the deep freeze now and so happy about the weather AND even more happy to watch SAKFAB. 😊 I love your sweaters! I’ve always loved the big floral design. Thanks for featuring your sweaters. Arne, that is a fantastic sweater. In cool weather having a shawl collar is extra helpful.

[@mysticmaven6261]

Carlos ❤️ you are such a patient soul 🥰

[@ОленаМутаф]

Nice to meet you again. It's so pleasent to see your new works.❤.

[@patkelly2117]

Great visit today. Thank you.
