[@jacquelinegonzalezmahr5301]

A heartfelt thank you. I am taking care of my mom who has Alzheimers. Right now it feels really hard because I haven’t been able to go anywhere in such a long time. This virtual trip along has been just wonderful. Huge hugs and many many blessings. 🥹

Take of yourself too!❤

Much love and grace! It’s so hard😢

[@louisearsenault7594]

BIGS THANKS to you for sharing your tour of this beautiful exhibition. The music at the beginning of the video is great. The big piece of art behind you is absolutely gorgeous! It's for sure representative of your love of colors and mixing colors. LOVED LOVED LOVED your conversation with the energetic Molla. When I think of it again, I smile, brings me joy. I love her work. Her motifs speak to me.

[@merkinidgit]

Lovely to see the Fruity Knitting women thriving during an exceptionally difficult couple of years. And thank you for the generosity of spotlighting other designers. A Norwegian cruise is still on my bucket list!

[@susienikodemus5668]

Thanks so much for showing us this trade show. So many interesting creations and love the display of colours. I also liked the work of the crochet artist Molly. Such a lovely lady.

[@corem7572]

I loved seeing Molla’s bags: they are so young and modern looking. It has changed my view of what a crocheted project can be and look like 😊

[@ARNECARLOS]

They are amazing

[@diane9060]

I've downloaded that bag pattern. It's on the list

[@rosemaryperry1699]

Lovely inspiration to see many new ideas. Molla was delightful.

[@BeautifulOaks]

Moi! I love the laced animals in the entrance . I enjoyed the whole video and appreciated the funky music to accompany the exhibits. Ciao, bellos!

[@olive5890]

How exciting to see Andrea and her daughter of "fruity knitting" and gorgeous designs by Molla❤ 🎉

[@andreawilson2251]

I absolutely loved this episode! What a creative explosion of colour and texture and design - I could have watched for hours more. Thank you, Arne and Carlos, for bringing us along with you! xx

[@inawichers6018]

I think you could pay more attention to focusing the camera. It kind of spoiled the pleasure.

[@karendavies5540]

@@inawichers6018 I was so appreciative of being taken somewhere I would otherwise not be able to go, in the company of 2 charming and entertaining hosts (who feel more like friends these days), - all for free I might add - that my pleasure could not be spoiled.

[@lindatytko3948]

Thank you so much for taking us to this show it was beautiful .🥰🤩😘

[@ingridibBerland]

Thank you for the tour. What a nice ending with firework in colours of the dmc

[@FindsByPirjo]

Moi Arne&Carlos, thank you for taking to visit that fair with your lovely video. Specially enjoyed your talk with Molla as I don't hear much Finnish language here in Germany. Long word for you: Ylioppilastutkintotodistus. Happy crafting!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Moi and that was a really long word!

[@anaouzounian1557]

What a great episode. Molla Mills is so charming and I can't wait to see Andrea's interview. Thank you.

[@hectorallen6209]

Thank you so much . Just arrived Knitted Birds book - beyond divine, made a dull day fabulous 🥰

[@ARNECARLOS]

We hope you enjoy them!

[@Diana-yj2ko]

What a treat !! Thank you 🧶

[@laurenoneal3893]

Every day a boy in my class brings his backpack stuffed with amigurumi sharks and whales that his aunt made for him -- I can't wait to show him the giant shark from the show! Thank you for a super fun tour!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@ccsullivan9164]

Thank you for the insider tour of the trade fair! Molla Mills work is enchanting and has a tribute to Mary Quant about it (recently RIP). When I saw your designs outside of the Rowan display, I wanted to yell go back! Let’s see more! What’s quirky about trends is that it takes one costume designer to select a style of sweater, hat, etc and feature it on film or streaming and ka-boom, everybody wants one! Thanks again.

[@annelisbethstavland6762]

Very nice to watch ❤️. Thanks for showing us.

[@annesmith3352]

Thank you I really enjoyed watching ! Arne looking so good in a smart jacket! So nice to hear you interact with Finish designer such a happy lady! Love the video! Xx 😘🧶😘

[@ARNECARLOS]

Molla is very nice.

[@gilliantangen3717]

[@phyllisogis129]

Wow! What a treat, such talent. Love the sheep and birds. ❤❤

[@taniabishop]

Thanks for showing us around the trade show. Great to see what caught your interest. Must have been fun to catch up with people you haven’t seen for a while.

[@carolynmyers2865]

How fun. Bet you really enjoyed yourselves. And to get to see others you have seen before. I would love to see all the different creations. Thank you for thinking of us and sharing with us.

[@jenniferjohnson9335]

How fun to get an "insider's look" at a trade show! You must have been very tired after all the walking and schmoozing! Loved seeing Andrea and Madeleine, the yarns and the Moi yarn with Molla Mills. Thank you for letting us tag along!

[@catnapper3923]

Oh my goodness, I love the people you were talking to. Fabio and Mattia are so appealing and Mole so charming, enthusiastic and talented. Caught a glimpse of Fruity Knitting, there, and I’m glad you’ve reconnected with al these visionaries. Thank you.

What a treat, running into old friends.

[@janphillips4144]

Love the Kangaroos, penguins and splendid fairy wrens Sea lIfe tableau is astonishing

[@orangepoppy]

I love the broach Arne is wearing on his jacket. Fun video, thanks for bringing us along!

[@arlettem.garcia6831]

Wow 😮, what a beautiful and inspiring exhibition 😊. I am watching this episode more than once for sure. Thank you for sharing, and showing us the best of the best. I wish it would have been longer 🙂. Definitely, I think we need an exhibition like this in SW Ontario 🇨🇦 to enrich us, the arts & crafts people and be inspired by all this magnificence. Fabulous!! 💕

[@christafischer4042]

Thanks so much for taking us along on your trip! I really enjoyed meeting your guests. See you soon in Italy 🇮🇹 ❤🎉!

Love these trips... and thank you for including us.

[@winterchicrett]

Oh, I just love this! Thanks for sharing your trip with us!! You two are such a treat - it's wonderful to experience crafting in other parts of the world. Molla is my favorite from this video - I love her kawaii bag pattern. (Anything Japanese-y, and I'm on board!) Can't wait to try it out. 😀

[@elaineenstone6834]

Great to walk around the show with you. Thank you.🇬🇧

[@benjisprincess304]

Molla Mills is a vibe. I don’t crochet, but that bag is tempting. The texture looks so inviting. Arne and Carlos, your descriptions of her work are spot on.

[@ARNECARLOS]

That bag was amazing, and the texture was great.

[@carolswift3112]

Thank you for joining us

[@MaryBethKelso]

Thanks for sharing your visit. I loved the yarnbombing at the beginning!

[@miaswenson2837]

For a Finn living in the states, it was so fun to see your interview with Moi yarn created. Moi moi

[@lucyburt607]

This was so interesting and entertaining! I especially loved the knitted fairy wrens and the penguins but you didn’t mention the artists who made them. We sometimes have little wrens in our garden and since we live on Phillip Island, penguins are very dear to us. Thanks for taking us with you to Cologne ❤

[@sheilamann6721]

Fascinating video, thankyou. So much creativity to see!

[@lisajahn6839]

Great episode! Thank you all!

[@peggybo5128]

Thank you, Arne and Carlos, for taking us to the H&H, it was a bunch of inspiration! It was very interesting for me, that the finnish people say "moi", because in the north of Germany we say "Moin" instead of hello! But don't say "Moin moin" , because we are taciturn here and people who say "moin moin" talk way to much! 😉

[@ARNECARLOS]

That is very interesting!

[@debbiewedoe2564]

Exciting video. So fun to see all the displays and vendors. Fun 🕺🏽

[@ARNECARLOS]

It was!

wow! overwhelmed with all the lovely fiber art, colors and explosion of creativity - thanks for sharing!

It was a really nice surprise that there was a yarn bombing festival1

[@toniprutch8956]
