The two of you deserve the King's Medal for this series. How do we begin the process of bringing it to His Majesty's attention?

[@carolerath1129]

Once again you guys hit it out of the ball park! Thank you for the education you have given me. I absolutely love everything you do. I was telling my husband about you guys and he said “who are they?”I said “I watch them on KZbin” he said “ you talk about them like they’re your best friends” Oh well I admire everything thing you do and you make me laugh so I’m happy. Have a fabulous week!

[@ARNECARLOS]

😍😀

[@clairepayne5202]

I talk about Arne and Carlos the same way. Its like having two extremely interesting friends in Norway.

[@joygieseke581]

I feel the same… like we’re all best friends. 😊

[@melaniedunkley3030]

Me too. They always brighten my day.

[@fanincalifornia1192]

Karin was so Norwegian when you complimented her on her weaving skill and she said anyone could do it. I don’t think so - at least not without a lot of practice!!! Her work is absolutely beautiful!! And I think so will never look at mismatched stripes again after your comments!! Thanks for another fabulous episode!!!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

😍

[@steffanieiorio40]

The weaving tool is called a shuttle. Thank you so much for taking us to Sedestal, I’m loving this series.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@sjchan3199]

Beautiful house looms and weaving. Such a lovely talented lady so humble. Arne and carlos were very respectful in helping her with her english wen she was unsure and put her at ease. So interesting to learn about other countries traditions

[@barbarasechziggrad2488]

I was really looking forward to this weaving episode and it met totally my expectations. It was so informative and enjoyable to meet Karin! I would like to know the norwegian term for tablet weaving (with cards)! Thank you for this Setesdal month! I watched your show every week earlier but must admit that i got a little bit tired of it. Now it has a new level of inspiration and craftsmanship which I appreciate so much!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Tablet weaving is Brikkevev in Norwegian.

[@katherinefischer5747]

While I appreciate all the fiber arts in this series, I enjoy most the cultural differences and variations from language to textiles to mores, to sentiments about the common good. What a celebration of both what makes up our varying regions, and also how much we share in common. I applaud your support of local artists and local businesses. As with all your programs, A&C, what a life-giving series!

[@carolinegetman2720]

Oh I hate to see this series end! I’ve enjoyed every episode and will love watching them over again. The music reminds me a little bit of my Scotland heritage. Thank you Arne and Carlos ❤️

[@RealLin24]

Beautiful episode. The home, the studio and the outdoors. Ohhhh! I wished I were Arne sitting at that loom. If I had room in my house I would buy a loom right now!

[@TootightLautrec]

What a lovely, warm woman! Watching you three talk about weaving, I felt like I was visiting with family, and I'm not even Norwegian!

[@linsmith2310]

Thank U Again this is Awesome, Amazing, how do U say.... Interesting, Interesting, Interesting Wisdoms, Knowledge, and Talent just Excellent Experience Sharing 👏 👍 😊 Thank's ❤😊

[@maryanncasale87]

A wonderful and interesting video! Thank you, Arne and Carlos!!

[@janinelindsey6087]

This is the best presentation I've ever seen. You are teachers who are inspiring people from all over the world. Thank you!

[@silvershadow013]

She's incredible too! You found such great folks to talk to!!!! I've been so amazed by all of them. Just wow!

[@nanastevens4094]

I think this is my favorite episode. I was a weaver and loved the rhythm of it. It broke my heart when I could no longer do this. This brought back many bittersweet memories.

[@elizabethparish7797]

Another great video…I appreciate all the time and effort that has gone into doing these…so educational…😄😄😄

[@arlettem.garcia6831]

This is so beautiful, and the colours are amazing. I love it all, the weaving, her house, the fabrics, wow! 💖Thanks again for another educational and fascinating episode. See you on the next one.😊

[@melaniedunkley3030]

Loved this episode. As a weaver I knew you would get hooked Arne. I would be so excited if you had more weaving explorations in your videos.

[@welshboo1]

Brilliant as usual. I was given a 4 shaft floor loom yesterday. Never done any weaving but something I've wanted to have a go at.

[@beverlyness7954]

I am a weaver as well as a knitter, wet felter and needle felter. (I make Sami bracelets as well to rediscover my heritage). Because I am a single parent of 2 children and had a very full time job, I wasn't able to continue with weaving until after I retired 7 years ago. I took 2 years of classes to relearn my skill and then purchased a small loom to fit into my very small house. I so loved Karin's room set up, it looks like a wonderful weavers studio. I hope to emulate it in the near future with an additional floor loom and possibly a table loom. I have an inkle loom which i could use to make braids. I also have cards for weaving and a rigid heddle back strap loom, but they are so much more difficult to weave on than a floor or table loom. This has been a wonderful episode learning about this incredible pattern and colors for the Setesdal area. Thank you again and again.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We hope you get the weaving room of your dreams!

[@francesinglis6078]

Another interesting video loved the shawls, Karin is a very talented lady, does this mean Arne has a new hobby? Good news on your freedom still stay safe x

[@ARNECARLOS]

Might just be!

[@pattiwankenobi]

Another wonderful episode! Beautiful location, too. Amazing to be able to work in such an historical place. Thank you for this series! 👏🏻👏🏻 Truly loved it and have been looking forward to every episode.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@karakoppanyi3845]

Delightful! As a weaver, I especially loved this episode. Her work is beautiful!!

[@guineverecassidy4855]

Another wonderful adventure into the traditions of your beautiful country. Many, many years ago while at university I took a weaving class with the big floor looms. It was so much fun.

[@jillfoster6369]

Absolutely brilliant - love all these history lesson - thank you guys 👏👏🧶

[@aprilwyckoff7977]

This was delightful! Arne was positively beaming as he got to do the weaving. These educational videos have taught me so much. Now I need a recommendation for a book on Norwegian history!

[@carolynhoover9444]

The weaving segment is my favorite of all the visits. Thank you.

[@reganmartin4126]

Karin is lovely, and her work is stunning! I loved the church shawl with the bits of pink in it! Arne, your sweater collar with that pink is going to look beautiful! The folk music playing at the end is great, and the drone flyover to see the gorgeous surroundings was such an added bonus! Beautiful episode!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@audreyabbott7806]

This series is magnificent! I want to move into her upstairs room. I hope there is a knot hole in the floor where I can peek through and watch her as she weaves!

[@ARNECARLOS]

That would be amazing!

[@mariangravemaker7412]

Again such a lovely episode. Karin is a true artist. I would love to stay for a holiday in her room upstairs and learn how to make this beautiful belts. Every episode brings me back to memories about my mother. The last sit and knit for a bit you showed the Knittax, like the one my mother used. And she was a very good knitter and a weaver too, so it is sometimes bitter sweet to watch your video’s. Like someone else in the comments talks about your video’s to her husband and he said it is like you talk about your friends, I always tell my husband about what I saw in the episodes and sometimes I forget something to tell and then I say to him: oh, I have to tell you some more about my Norwegian friends.😊

[@gingermolinero8386]

Arne and Carlos Karin was such an interesting guest, thank you all very much for the great vlog. Her weaving is beautiful and the stories surrounding her house and the colors of the thread make everything more interesting. Thank you again and safe travels

[@blasebaker]

Beautiful weaving. Another fantastic episode.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Blase!

[@donnalewis4895]

[@ARNECARLOS]

You should contact Karin directly

[@pickledellies]

I've loved this series Arne & Carlos, thank you. I don't know if you fancy the challenge, but after Covid settles down, I can imagine a European or possibly global series.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We hope you make it over one day!

[@lindatytko3948]

Dear Arne and Carlos I can't express how wonderful this podcast was . I LOVED IT SO MUCH .

Norway is so very beautiful! The weaving Karin does is just amazing--she has such talent! Even the "shameless plug" weaving is so lovely. I admire people who can do this. Not sure it is my wheelhouse, but we all have our strengths. Thank you for this interesting and educational episode!

[@susanleigh6964]

Karin’s weaving is so beautiful, she is very talented! I love to weave but i am only a beginner on a small rigid heddle loom, i would love to learn on those two beautiful looms! Very interesting hearing about the traditions in the patterns and the weave. Thank you for this wonderful video! Take care, Susan🧶

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching Susan!

[@marieeaton-smith5168]

Gosh, what an amazingly talented woman. Thank you for showing, and introducing us to this master of her art.

[@christinekulper4936]

Beautiful shawl. Double weave for the weaving . Shuttle for the weaving.

[@user-fs6ou3fk9p]

You've won my heart. Knitting, Norway, yard work, cooking, and you drive a VW Bug. My 100% Norwegian mother, who is an American citizen, had a convertible Bug. It would drive up the mountain passes to the local ski area without a problem. She took my great grandfather Erickson, who was born in Norway, skiing when he was 70ish. They all would take something for the pot over a fire and then spend time grooming the ski runs with their ski's. I learned to ski in the same place. I'm left-handed, so I had great troubles learning to knit when I was a child. I'm now 64 and am going to take it up again. My mother took up carding and spinning her own yarn in her 50's and learned to weave. This lovely lady is amazing. She became very sick with cancer but survived. It left her unable to continue but she so inspired me. She passes in 2022 but she said she was happy. We have so many of her knitted works. Blessings to you.

[@jennievpollard77]

Since I love weaving, I had been waiting for this episode. Weaving is such a beautiful craft and art form. Unfortunately, the only weaving shop in the Dallas area has closed.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We hope you like it!

[@foleyjp1]

Again this was wonderful. I love watching this talented artist share her craft with us. Thank you....

[@1enediyne]

In English weaving we say Skilbragd too as we don’t have this style of weaving outside of Scandinavian influence.

[@bluegrassdreams2seams510]

The weaving is so beautiful! I loved seeing the wall hanging from the corner up close. It was hard to see how colorful it was in back; then she brings it out and amazing!

[@ARNECARLOS]

💗

[@maryduggan3992]

Another wonderful episode ❤️🤗🤗🤗

[@jodyturner1187]

Wow! What beautiful creations! They make you want to get your own loom, and start weaving! I also love the idea that you can move an entire house! The workmanship must be amazing, to be able to deconstruct, then piece together again!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Yes, very impressive❤️

[@paulawilliams5860]

Thank you for this episode about Sedestal textiles and the tradition of the church shawls. I love the color red, and, as a novice weaver, I loved seeing Karin's weavings and the different patterns on her shawls and coverlets.

[@evelynfrench804]

Beautiful episode. Thank you for sharing your visit with us.

[@laurajantek2562]

Beautiful work! Is that a sod roof?

[@ARNECARLOS]

Yes!

[@olgareads9107]

Such amazingly beautiful work. A real artist!

[@melodychesley1923]

Wonderful! Wonderful! I love these videos and hope you do more!!!

[@annesmith3352]

Thank you! Absolutely fascinating love it all! Beautiful shawls especially the first one! Wow! I certainly don’t wear anything as beautiful to go church! Loved it all! So interesting! Xx 😘💜😘

[@luciaevangelho4593]

Another great episode. Karin does beautiful work!

[@kimmargittai5287]

I love that everything is predominantly red. It's always been my favorite color. I guess I should move there!

[@lynnbean7200]

So interesting. Karin is a magnificent weaver and I love that she is keeping traditions alive. You should really join Patreon. I'd support you :)

[@alexissmith3386]

Wow! This was yet another amazing episode! That Giant loom was so lovely! Karin is a True Artist of Weaving! I can't wait to see your future episodes when you both begin weaving at your home :) Side note, did Karin knit her sweater? So, wonderful... Although, I don't weave.. I think it might be in my future for Woven placemats or Table runners. Thanks as always for sharing such lovely crafting :)

[@pegross8652]

Another wonderful visit with an amazing artisan-thank you!

[@eileensecrest2185]

Oh yes, weaving would be a LOT of fun. Another fascinating episode, Arne seems to have been born to "textile".

[@annkathy257]

Very interesting and enjoyable! Thank you! 🙂

[@ruthbennett7563]

In English, this incredible style (as shown for the shawls at the beginning) of weaving wool & plant (cotton or linen) together is called “overshot”. It is a beautiful & practical long-lasting style of weaving. The pattern “drafts” are actually algebraic expressions. As a contemporary American fiber artist & weaver it is remarkable how much our tradition here is rooted in Scandinavia. If ever y’all find yourselves in Louisville, Kentucky, please come visit The Little Loomhouse historic site to see how far your traditions have travelled. Thank you for a lovely presentation!

[@tl4214]

Such another lovely introduction to a beautiful, gifted soul!! Grateful to learn from Karen her loom crafting and historical details!

[@dorcasfields6624]

Gorgeous house and weaving as well country. This is my way of traveling. 😊

[@uschiott2146]

Hello, Once again a wonderful episode. Thank you so much for showing us all these great crafts and persons. I watch all the setesdal episodes several times and enjoy especially listening to you, talking norwegian in different dialects and thanks to Carlos I even understand. I love this. Thank you so much, Wish you all the best, Uschi

[@GailK.]

Thank you for another beautiful historical video. So educational and such lovely textiles. Oh, the colours! Also, I keep forgetting to thank you both for avoiding using what seems to be a very trendy, and bad, habit of using acronyms for anything and everything. So refreshing to hear someone actually say “work in progress” and not WIP (pronounced like whip). I have had to make a list of acronyms used on KZbin, and especially on FlossTube, because I don’t know what hosts are referring to so often. So thank you, thank you, thank you for speaking so clearly all the time. My favorite channels are you two and Kate Jackson. You have taught me so much.

[@berglettemom6045]

What an enjoyable and charming episode! My second host mother in Norway, who lived on the family’s rose farm in Nes på Hedmark (on Lake Mjøsa) had a large weaving loom like Karin’s. She taught me how to use it and when I was there on a school break in the Spring, I wove a one-meter-long teppe which I still have. I gave it to my mother when I returned home after a year in Norway. It is such a treasure. I’m now 57 and I still remember that magical time when I was 18. I would love to learn to weave again. Thank you for going to visit Karin at her house and learning so much from her. She, like the two of you, is a national treasure. Ha det bra.

[@alisonsmith376]

Another wonderful episode! So very interesting.

[@kristalburns3490]

I am all caught up! Just ,wow! All the things I have learned. Thank you!

[@laurelrobbins8673]

Hi, Arne and Carlos! The shawls are so beautiful! I have a rigid heddle loom because I am in an apartment and don’t have much room. I love weaving - you have such a different look from knitting. I think men could use shawls - just wear them around your neck like scarves if you like! One of my first shawls I made is a rectangle, and when I would walk in the winter in Michigan, I would wrap it around my neck like a scarf.

[@deannapolson9541]

This has been such a wonderful series! I've been a knitter, spinner, weaver, and dyer for many years and have always admired the Scandinavian designs. Your guests have been charming as well as very informative. So nice to see these skills are valued and still being taught in Norway. I've enjoyed hearing the Norwegian language being spoken on many of the episodes. Carlos, your translations have been exceptional. Thank you for all the links and extra information you include for us. Arne, weaving is addictive. I hope you set your weaving loom up at home. I've owned your "Norwegian Knits With a Twist" for many years. Hearing you explain about the pieces you saved from the family house and actually seeing them in this series was especially interesting.

[@janikabertone5566]

The building is beautiful but the woven shawls are outstanding. Such a talented lady. I just have loved this series. Thanks guys

[@Mandy-tl2un]

I can’t tell you how much I loved this episode. So interesting and Karin is such a lovely lady. I also felt the wonderful atmosphere of her home. Thank you for showcasing these traditions 🧡

[@lauralea86]

I have been delighted with your videos. I feel so badly that people have been leaving you negative comments. Personally speaking, this has been a beautifully presented series. I really don"t like over produced KZbin videos. I usually avoid them. I like the personal feel of your style. I makes me feel you would like to be in my home and sharing and this makes it possible. You guys are great. Don't change a thing. P.S. The drone footage has been spectacular too.

[@carlenehall2979]

🤗 Another very interesting episode, thank you Arne and Carlos! Take care.

[@janecornell8219]

Oh so beautiful! I am with you. I don't want to leave either. Such a lovely studio for a lovely lady. I admire her talent and patience. It looks very complicated for me. I must admit that I may have stared at her sweater when I should have been looking at her weaving! I am going to have to watch this video again. A video from you would not be complete without a chuckle from Arne! He came through. I am loving this series. Here"s to another wonderful and informative video. Keep them coming!

[@treeinthenorth918]

I'm sure you added to the wonderful creative energy in her home and studio. Beautiful master weaving!

[@MoniquevandeWal]

so lovely to watch! Beautiful weaving. Carlos I am sure this is just your thing ;) as you braiding is also high quality.

[@karenbodding9689]

Thank you again for another wonderful video. The pieces Karin wove are beautiful and I loved hearing the significance of each piece. I taught weaving to blind and visually impaired for many years. The most difficult part of weaving is setting up the loom but once you do it you will never forget how. Then the fun begins... creating the shawl or whatever you are making. Arne was doing a good job and will continue do so once he sets up his loom at home. Takk!

[@StormsEnd1604]

What spectacular work! I was surprised that the shawls are as thick as they are. It must have been very warm at church in the summer time if you were wearing all the layers of the folk costume! I will be very sorry when this series ends. ❤️ from 🇨🇦

[@ARNECARLOS]

Very hot!

[@ginaroanhorse9524]

So interesting. our sash belts we wear with our Navajo Dine traditional Costumes are red and white.....and the woven tapestry looks so much like woven Navajo blankets and rugs. My grandmother was a weaver and I could never speak with her because she only spoke her indigenous language. She made her own loom with different wood and her own tools as well. Nothing fancy like the foot pedals, she sat on the floor or outdoors.

[@alfienice3636]

BTW its a shuttle. I love sitting down after work and knitting while watching these. My grandma is from Norway so this is just amazing to see the country where she came from!

[@peterska63]

Every episode is epic including this one. I was a weaver until I lost the use of my right arm and eventually passed on my looms and spinning wheels. I was both thrilled and saddened at this visit with Karin. What beautiful fabrics and items she is creating. I encourage you in all your endeavors to knit and embroider and dye, e.t.c. One never knows what might befall one's life and the opportunities are gone forever. Thank goodness I can knit and embroider still and these videos are so inspirational. Sending love to you both and to the people of Sedestal.❤

[@carlettamlodzik5323]

Once again I am wishing I could join in the fun. I am so happy you are sharing these old traditions and am proud of how Norway supports this. Thanks again!

[@elaineenstone6834]

Another beautiful episode. It is good to see that the traditional weaving lives on. I love the log cabin too. Thank you.

[@Joodster]

I'm delighted to "meet" your weaver! I am a weaver, too so I can appreciate her beautiful looms and her hard work. I am interested in the yarn on the second loom--was it similar to a lace weight or fingering weight?

[@judithchambers-randell5718]

Loved this - thank you so interesting and the last shot over the house and towards the mountains amazing!
