[@theresaainsworth9571]

10 books. I was late to this KAL and this morning I decided to go back watch the videos I missed originally. So fun to listen to the daily chats. Thank you for bringing joy.

[@talialmog67]

I listen to you every day on my way to work, and it helps me start the day with joy. Thank you! You have published 10 books.

[@noidlehands2019]

Thank you so much for the afterthought heel! I think that will be the best for newbies. You have published 10 wonderful books.

[@jeandavis892]

This is my fourth Arne and Carlos Christmas stocking. So fun and beautiful. 10 books published.

[@louisedauenheimer4841]

I love sitting and knitting for a bit with you each day! Thank you for the Stocking MKAL. Thank you for your 10 wonderful books too! Greetings from New Jersey, USA.

[@jenniferrahm3600]

I am super duper super excited to knit a sock with everyone. I am a bit late to the party, but better late than never. I was caught up and anxiously awaiting the next 6 rows, I almost finished them before the end of today's vlog, so I will try again tomorrow. I remember knitting the Christmas balls in 2020, I think, but I was unable to finish as my laptop died and my phone was ancient. I'm so very excited for this year's knit a long. Blessings, love, and hugs, and stay well and stay safe❤❤❤

[@LornaMJackson]

😂It's fun watching the stocking reveal each day. I look forward to knitting it but still have the 2023 one to finish. You have published 10 books so far 😊

[@julieanderson3915]

Hooray! I have finally caught up and now look forward to a regular six rows a day. There are 10 books published by Arne and Carlos.

[@jillyb9995]

​@@LornaMJackson You're in good company. I only finished last year's at the start of November THIS year!🤭 I'm working on day 8 from this year's at the moment but my brain keeps leaping about and I keep going wrong. Lesson...If concentration goes PUT IT DOWN!😉

[@ARNECARLOS]

It’s never too late to join in, and we’re so glad you’re excited! Wishing you all the best as you catch up on the rows - we’re sure you’ll be back on track in no time. Blessings, love, and hugs right back at you! ❤️🧶

[@julieanderson3915]

@@jillyb9995 Totally agree about required concentration. Colour work not to be attempted with children and active cats around.

[@kykynestyf7742]

I can relate to the amount of stuff that can be found in the messy house ... You always have wonderful stories to tell. 10 books published by Arne and Carlos.

[@jennifermaynor6504]

It takes me just under an hour to knit six rows. Thank you for making this so manageable. It's making me feel so accomplished getting the rows done each day! 10 books published!

[@mechellesharp7514]

You both make me smile. No matter what my day is like. So very interesting too. 10 books❤

[@nicolecurran4202]

The two of you have published 10 wonderful books.

[@lovebugleigh81]

You have published 10 books. For me, each round takes 10 to 20 minutes. I love this knit-a-long.❤❤❤

[@treeinthenorth918]

Loving the yarn and pattern, hearts are deceptively needing my focus! 10 books published!

[@leslieambailey]

I am slowly catching up. I am on day nine on my fourth day of knitting. I am very much enjoying this project! Thank you. And I believe you have published 10 books 📖

[@MaureenLynch-99]

10 books, never have done an afterthought heel, so glad to practice this!

[@terrimccaskill2954]

10 books. Love this sock pattern. And it’s my first time using Rowan Norwegian wool. It is wonderful!!❤

[@kirstenshafer5691]

Love how the pattern is coming along, thanks for taking the time to design these patterns each year. There were 10 books written.

[@hunkeedori34]

cracking me up with the laughing at old packets of pictures. I'm totally guilty of keeping all the pictures even when they were awful!! Thanks for this episode chat and for your 10 books!

[@maureenholian1560]

Hi Arne and Carlos, Thanks again for another enjoyable Christmas Stocking episode and for your 10 published books! Happy Knitting

[@bonniemanchester7438]

Love the thought of the after thought heel. So excited. 10 books.

[@dianahaglof453]

I love listening to the two of you talk! Very entertaining. 10 books published 😊

[@tammyschniers569]

I have never done an afterthought heel or added scrap yarn... So I am next going to watch your video on how to do that! Excited for new techniques!! Thanks for all you do and for publishing 10 books to help us out!!

[@karenaskinas1135]

The picture reminiscing is very fun! I feel the same when looking at pictures from the 80s. 10 books have been published. Thank you so much fornthese fun episodes. It is like the quarantine knitting!

[@crisfernandez477]

I think more than one of us probably has an archealogy site dump in our houses 😅😂😂 10 books so far❤ For those of us doing circular needles, thanks for reminding us of the 36stiches for the heel ❤❤

[@rachelmurguia9874]

I had a border collie and loved her so much!. My last dog, a little poodle, passed last year, so it's nice when I see Freya. 10 books published.

[@beverlyness7954]

Pictures are such a challenge. I have so many and need to get rid of at least 80% of them. It's quite the project for sure. I've been decluttering my home for about 4 years. I have lots of stuff, especially craft supplies and yarn. I don't want my children to have to manage any of that stuff when I die. I know i have more yarn than I have years to live to use up all that yarn. The funny thing is a lot of the yarn I got at estate sales where that person is no longer alive. The yarn lives forever - but not the maker! HAHA You've published 10 Books!

[@WhatKatyKnitNext]

The way you both explained the scrap yarn heel is fantastic. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! It made total sense. Thank you for sharing your FABULOUS design with us (Love, Kathryn - UK)

[@brendazubel9830]

I found this MKAL a few days after you started, now I am try to catch up and loving every minute of it. I have also gone on your website and bought all the Christmas sock patterns. I set my timer while I knit 6 rows. My time was 22:30:06 minutes. I have always been considered a fast knitter so Arne if you can do this in 18 minutes in the knitting world you are a rock star. B

[@francinegodbout7747]

Brillant ! I was worry at first but with the explications and the video, all went well. 😊 10 books published.

[@alisongh]

Such fun as is reading the 14 books you have published.

[@elisehilliard2942]

Thank you for the knit along, 10 books published. I’m on here trying to figure out the heel as I’m a little bit behind. But honestly thank you for showing Arne knit. I am starting to knit like that and it is turning out so much nicer. Plus my yarn doesn’t twist all up!

[@trevtass4260]

Came back from my succulent show with a First prize for an arrangement! Now that I have settled down I can complete my 6 rows. 10 books have kept us on our toes.

[@lauralynn3043]

Yay! After-thought heel 🙂 Thank you 💞

[@KateNye]

I love these kal videos you are both so talented and so funny! 10 incredible books published 🙌📚

[@KimLomQld]

An after thought heel 😬😬😬, well I'm here for it (even though it's a first for me) as we say in Australia " She'll be right mate" 😅, and so far, so good. 10 books published so far ❤, but I'm sure you ll probably publish again in the future

[@SuretteSnyman]

You have published 10 books. Love the knit along

[@jennyturner3821]

Thanks for afterthought heel tips. It will be interesting to see how it compares to the heel we did last year. I love learning new knitting techniques from you! You have published 10 books :)

[@nanab8547]

Shenanigans! Such a fun word. 10 books

[@karinrupp2186]

Thank you for this knit-along and for your 10 books too!

[@tracygrant2094]

Thoroughly enjoying the knit along. I have only finished 1 pair of socks before so a little anxious about the afterthought heel.😮 You have written 10 books.

[@elizabethgunn179]

I love the easy heel design! Thanks for doing this. I love having this easy fun design to do each day! I think I’ll knit some little Christmas birds from your field guide book (one of 10 wonderful books) when I finish this sock.

[@lauragorton8291]

10 Books! I'm looking forward to the afterthought heel. :)

[@LexBeiki]

10 books so far! I have never knit an "afterthought heel" before (this is the term I know), and I'm excited to see how that will turn out on my sock. Thanks for doing this lovely, lovely knit-along with all of us!!

[@lorisa4559]

10 books published. Thanks for making this knit along again this year- it’s a fun project!

[@pamamand8348]

10 books! I just so enjoy knitting along with this project and of course the fun and joy of the videos daily. ❤

[@IsabelleMénard-inf]

10 books! It will be my first time knitting this kind of heel. Thanks again for sharing the pattern. It looks wonderful.

[@DonnabSWfla]

I added up all the books in all the different languages....I got 89 books published. I caught up last night...I'm on row 130 Woohoo! It's a lot of fun...my first sock. I used a stitch marker to show the beginning of the round and the half round so that I could check my stitches. Thanks for the fun.

[@deniseinman2658]

I knit one Christmas Ball at Crazyforewe when you visited. I bought the book and will make more. I'm really into the stocking now. 10 books!!!!

[@sarawormewoole9284]

Thank you again for hosting this knit-along this year! I am new at stranded knitting and I am happy to say mine is turning out okay! You have published 10 books.

[@annnessa7441]

Enjoying the stocking very much and yes to everyone, the heel is easy for you first timers. 10 books is the answer.

[@andreamiller6200]

Wow, so smart about the afterthought heel being amidst 2 rows of a single color, no colorwork on the edges of the afterthought heel. I can do this! How long does it take me to work 6 rounds? At least twice as long as Arne if I can do them in one sitting. That is a luxury I don't often have! Thank you for the 10 published books

[@tisalucchesi9910]

This is the very first you tube KAL I’ve ever done and I’m having a lot of fun! 10 books.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We’re so happy to hear you're enjoying your first KZbin KAL with us! Hope you continue to have a fantastic time knitting along! 😊🧶

[@kittykatsknitplace69]

Loving seeing these everyday videos with a new piece to our stocking, love it, you have 10 books published. I timed myself and I can do the 6 rows in a half hour. 30 minutes hugs

[@christinamoore4160]

You have 10 books 📚 published 😊 The first time I am actually on track day by day with a KAL and I love it

[@jamieayers30]

A new technique!!! Whoop whoop!!!! ❤❤❤ Love it! You have 10 published books. Can’t wait to see you tomorrow!

[@KateFischer-lg3zp]

Yippppeeeee, I was hoping you were going to do the afterthought heel---so easy ! 10 books.. . . so here's the problem with organizing a new room. What you envision initially as your way of organizing might not really work in the long run. Thus a new way to organize is created. After a while, with the acquisition of new materials or crafts (or thrift store finds!), eventually this second way of organizing might not fit. Oh, heavens, it can go on and on and on!

[@cherylg.813]

I would like to be on the team doing the archeological dig in Arne's old craft room! 😂❤❤😘 10 books 📚

[@jkk2023]

I’m really enjoying the 2024 Advent stocking knit along, as I did last year’s . I believe you have 10 books. Thank you for this great knitting opportunity.

[@marthaalvarez6123]

10📚s published .. I haven’t done an afterthought heel ,so I hope I can accomplish it! Looking forward to finally learn how to knit it👍👍❤️🧶🙂🎄.

[@kristidemyer2253]

Was out of town and am now catching up. 10 published books for you two.

[@khabsamum6074]

10 books , ten but so many rowan books too. Thank you

[@joannecarter1320]

Really enjoying the daily 6 rows! I still love my quarantine pillow from Covid 2020. 10 books published by you special gentlemen!

[@CarolB2500]

Love hearing your stories and knitting along. Congrats on your 10 books being published in 15 languages!

[@VarsitySmurf]

the explanation of the scrap yarn and then going back and doing the actual row has helped me so much in knitting mittens, THANK YOU!!!

[@SusanLeach-sb4rv]

This is a super fun KAL! So glad to knit along! Takes me about 20 minutes if I don’t get interrupted! You have published 10 books!

[@AmandaPilley-t1l]

My time is dependent on how much frogging I have to do 😂 10 fab books!

[@chlorophil9]

Love how the pattern is coming along. There were 10 books written.

[@suetr1]

10 books! Thank you so much for the cheer you add to your community!

[@gemma6465]

Oooo! An afterthought heel, what a brilliant idea! It's personally not my favourite to wear anymore, but any knitters feeling any heel anxiety 😁 it's brilliantly easy to do. ...10 lovely books published🤞🐻‍❄🤞🐻‍❄

[@heyyoufoundme]

I've lost sleep since the US election and it showed in my knitting today. I got off by a row and had to unknit an entire row, then a few rows later, knitted with the red tail instead of the red working yarn, unknitted that, and somehow - despite my efforts - grabbed the tail again, and had to unknit again. With all that a few dropped and split stitches during the unknitting I spent almost 2 hours on the 6.5 rows. Ugh! It was still a joy to knit while I listened to an old "Sit and Knit". You've published 9 hardback books together, 1 booklet together, and 1 hardback book with other authors, so depending on how you are counting your published books, the answer could be 9, 10, or 11.

[@Tinacrafts2]

Arne’s VW Beetle broach looks like a Monopoly token! Now about that heel 🤔. Books I know…you wrote 10 of them. Heels, just a little. Never did an afterthought one but it’s exciting to try something new!

[@creationbay]

I’m going back to make sure I’ve thumbs up everywhere.

[@ginadolinsky751]

Thanks for the tips on the heel today! 10 books.

[@meatdog]

Just watched your Japan trip short. Thank you so much for tgat and the 10 books you've done. It takes me a couple of hours to knit 6 rows. I'm making an effort to catch up because I'm 2 days behind. ❤❤

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching and for your support! 😊 Don’t worry about being a bit behind-it’s all about enjoying the journey at your own pace. Happy knitting, and we’re so glad to have you with us on this knit-along! 🧶💕

[@ottarsdatter]

10 books so far. I'm very much enjoying this KAL and am planning to knit a 2" band at the top so I can embroider my granddaughter's name on it. She's brand-new and won''t have a stocking unless Gramma gets busy.

[@andreawilliams998]

Hi Arne and Carlos! It takes me about 30 minutes to knit the six rounds. You have 10 fabulous books published! Oh, love the afterthought heel!!!

[@susanteminsky1078]

Thank you for showing and explaining the afterthought heel!! Your silver VW Beetle brooch is so fun! Thanks for publishing 10 books!

[@judimanola1542]

10 books! It’s taking me about a half hour each day to knit the 6 rows. Having fun! Thanks!

[@dldove22]

I decided to finish knitting a wool hat during your podcasts. I was having trouble with it and I hoped your knitting mojo would come through. It did and it's done!

[@ARNECARLOS]

👍🏻

[@christyclark9695]

YAY!! 10 books published by the lovely Arne and Carlos! Love the afterthought heel for these Chris Socks. 😊❤

[@AdrienneForsyth]

Depending on how distracted I am the 6 rounds take about half an hour to an hour. Oh and 10 books. Thanks for the fun knit along and podcasts.

[@stumpyox]

10 lovely books have been published 😊

[@enricaalbaro1490]

Well darn! The heel came way too soon since I am using this to finally make some x-mas socks for myself. But since it's a forethought heel I can place it wherever I need to... so this will work out. You have 10 books to your credit thus far, keep 'em coming!

[@susanmcdermid7663]

The after thought heel will be new to me and I will be glad to learn it, just as I will be glad to peruse your 10 published books!
