How to Knit our Christmas Stocking for 2020 by ARNE & CARLOS

Knit this year’s Christmas stocking with traditional Fair Isle motive using a worsted weight yarn for a quick knit. We’ve written the pattern with a more rounded toe and heel so that it looks like a perfect sock when hung up!
The pattern is available here: shop.arnecarlo...

Too silly? Never! I love the easy going banter. Your program is friendly and engaging.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Elizabeth!

[@MokkiLife]

I love how you are not concerned about being “perfect” KZbinrs. It makes your videos so much more enjoyable!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Laura!

[@BlakMarshmallow]

Love the stocking, your not too silly being your own self is what we like the most about your videos 👍🏼

[@misspeacchy]

The stocking is beautiful! For me, your videos are visits with friends. Conversations may go in different directions and laughter is always a part of the visits.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Yes, we try to keep it casual and fun.

[@Appledoatz]

Watching your videos could NEVER be boring nor an imposition on my day. You fellows make my day!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@gabrielecarter5440]

No you’re never too silly. It’s a joy to watch you!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Gabriele!

[@catnapper3923]

“A quicker thicker knit.” Great tongue twister. You guys are perfect - never too silly, just right in every way. I’ve bought a Christmas stocking pattern and can’t wait to make one.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for supporting us!

[@ceciliacondal958]

I love the Idea of happy stitches and sad ones. Great and true

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@sisselsworld]

I love your silliness! You guys are so cute! 😄👍

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@donnastubbs9525]

Never too silly. You had me laughing and smiling throughout!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Donna.

[@GaminGawdess]

Pling.... LOL!!! Now Arne you know you will have to provide that bigger gift to Carlos. Carlos has started a challenge in a very sly way...well done!

[@ARNECARLOS]

😂

[@Mindfulnessification]

I have been catching up I missed since this past summer, BUYING PATTERNS, and BUYING YARN, so that I can knit right along with you! You two and how you are in the world really make me happy! I have always felt a call to Norway and will get there someday! Love you both!!!!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you and we hope you make it over one day!

[@gayleouthwaite5741]

Love it when you are silly and joking around. Can't wait for your Christmas surprises.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are excited too!

[@sandybeach516]

The stocking is beautiful. I enjoy your discussions. Thanks so much for putting up your podcast. You bring a little sunshine into my day.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad we do Sandra!

[@antoinettemccollum729]

OOOh Christmas patterns... lovely design. it looks look like Santa's Christmas stocking....

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Antoinette!

[@francestanner2575]

The sillier, the better!! Thanks so much!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@minjiwoo8335]

You can never be too silly!! I love watching your videos because you are so likable!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@sleepisabella]

lol...I love Arne's crazy humour as it's very much like mine. You two guy's are so much better when you joke around. Please don't lose the humour. It would take away the naturalness of sitting with you in the room......and I love the dogs too. Looking forward to the rest of the year.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Kristina!

[@cathypearson1889]

I also love polar bears! Love your figures and the story about the new one that ended up in the dollhouse 😊

[@annievanaskiekinn3753]

What a beautiful stocking! I love sharing time with the 2 of you.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Annie!

[@witatter1]

Your videos are perfect just as they are! I love the interaction between the two of you and the dialogue feels like I’m listening to friends chat.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@freidapauline6372]

Arne, you crack me up with sneaking to check someone's sock size. Every time you come up with something that makes me laugh out loud. And Carlos, I appreciate your "keeping everything under control!"

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@jackiewessel7195]

I have done that too!

[@sheilabuitenhuis6307]

Looking great guys! Always love to see Arne in one of his flower prints and Carlos you look so relaxed in your open flannel.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@alisonj8315]

So interesting that these are "American" Christmas colors. It is a beautiful design and I think it would be great in other colors as well. Love you all.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@ckmcdade]

I still love your reference to sad and smiley stitches 😊 And, for your video, I say the sillier the better! I think I saw Arne blush when Carlos said he was expecting a much bigger present this year. In the US, I’m still isolating due to COVID, so your biweekly videos are like cozy visits with friends. Sunday’s and Wednesday’s are hygge with A & C. 🥰

[@ARNECARLOS]

Keep safe and thank you for your feedback!

[@Jess-nc4oy]

This is fast becoming my favourite youtube channel.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Jane!

[@janetsherman4589]

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you, so are we!

[@suebrown3465]

What a beautiful stocking! You have a very nice collection of polar bears. I haven’t knitted socks in years but it was so nice to make them. I have downloaded sock patterns from WWll when the women would make socks for the military stationed overseas. They sold a ball of wool that would make exactly a pair of socks. It’s a beautiful gift to give someone then and now! Take care from Canada ❤️ 🇨🇦

[@ARNECARLOS]

You as well Sue!

[@jacquelinesafe5839]

I love watching the both of you. By the way, silly is good fun and you wouldn,t want to be dull. Thankyou

Best line ever.... "Life is hard!!!" Every video there is a great line. I think those colors are so vivid and make a gorgeous sock. I think I love that yarn:)

I say, just be yourselves. That is why we watch.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Jan.

[@susananderson5073]

As a knitter I was aware of you great books but only when Kate from the last homely house mentioned your KZbin channel did I realize I could see all your great videos!! I’m catching up on older content and keeping up with new. I loved seeing you highlight Kate’s channel too!

Catching the floats are also important as it is so hard to stuff a sock with gifts when you are getting caught in those long unruly floats!

[@sheryleclute836]

I so enjoy each video. Keep it up. Can't wait for Christmas information

[@ARNECARLOS]

Neither can we.
