Love all your decor ideas, and all your knitting designs are beautiful. Love the book that you created with all the drawings and designs. Love the cardigan, on my list to knit! Thanks for all your creative ideas!

[@benjisprincess304]

It is unfortunate that sewing and tailoring skills have been lost. Luckily, Arne and Carlos are helping to keep fiber arts alive and thriving.

I love it when you get your Barbie out LOL! I hope Barbie gets a new cruise wardrobe. The 1952/53 Parisian elegant patterns are gorgeous. I would love the white dress with the blue stripes. I have a Lutterloh folder full of patterns from the early 1960's. I loved the drawings but never got around to making any of the dresses. It was impossible to choose one, they were all beautiful. I can't wait to see how the quilt progresses. I vowed I would never do another hand sewn quilt but you both inspire me with your quilting shenangians so I started saving fabric scraps. So many projects, so little time! I love you guys so much.

[@taniabishop]

The barbie gowns you have are masterpieces. Couture 😮. Beautiful 🤩

[@jennifernelson9735]

I thoroughly enjoyed this Sit and Knit! Thank you for all you do to share with this community and bring joy to our days💕

[@Sue-dn5lr]

Loved tonights episode because I love sewing ❤ if you decide to get your kitchen painted in the future consider asking a car sprayer to do it for you, they do a very good job. They also make a microwave that combines as an oven, that would be useful in a kitchen transition and also as the future oven as it uses less time to cook food. They are more expensive than an ordinary microwave but will save on your electricity bills in the future which is worth taking into consideration. I'm so glad I'm not driving vintage cars with all their quirkiness anymore. We could only afford old charabangs when we first started to drive, they were not considered tasteful or vintage and had so many problems 😂

[@katiiiiekat]

“We film when we feel like it” ❤ I love that it’s authentic because it’s a snippet into real life, not a staged video where you’re prepping every detail in advance to appear a certain way on the internet. Those kinds of staged videos warp people’s minds into believing that someone’s life can truly be perfect, even when it’s not. Perfection is never the goal, authenticity is. ❤❤❤❤ love you guys so much. ❤❤❤

Hi amazing souls ... about 55 years ago I gave my VW bug to my brother because I got in an accident and he was 20 working for a local German mechanic. He repaired it, started his own business and built into a very successful service. He is extremely beloved by so many clients in Northern New Jersey for his ethics, go the extra yard work style, and lovable nature. He still works in retirement and can be found at many shows selling parts and vintage VW stuff of all kinds. We have been a VW family for many years since and found VW peeps to be a very lovely breed. I wish I could pack him up and teleport/send him to you to do a once over on your VW. He's seen it all.

[@Woeschhuesli]

In the late 70s I had a Sindy doll. My grandmother was a great seamstress and made her a gold brocade fitted trouser suit - and I believe she had great fun doing it, too!! I was thrilled, it was a marvellous outfit. Sadly, it's no longer around. My grandmother lived to be 100 and sewed all her own clothes until she was 95.

[@Jo-Anne.Clarke]

I’m always surprised by how much I enjoy watching all of your videos. When I see one is going to run for an hour I hesitate to press ‘Start’. I assume it will run long, or I will get board. And then suddenly, it’s over!! I’m shocked an hour has passed. I have been sitting, working away at my own project, and I wish the story telling in the episode would continue! You have truly mastered the art of reeling me in and leaving me always wanting for more💕 Such an enjoyable visit with you in your home. See you next time 👋

[@kadairh]

Same! 🙌

[@ClaireWhoMakesThings]

I was so happy to see Barbie in your video boys. 😊 I went to see the live action Barbie movie on opening night, I dressed up, I made Barbie an outfit to wear, I took her with me and took photos. The movie was brilliant! I’ve been invited to go again next week, so I get to do it all again. Last night I had a mini Barbie party in my garden room. It was a lot of fun. Thank you for the discount on the socking and ball pattern. I’ve started the stocking I’m on row 23. I will be doing it as a when between your mini Nordic Jumpers.

[@damienk5011]

Hiya 🌞 Arne and Carlos!!❤your adventures with the cars!Espically the Beetle,"she "is a typical woman!- as my Father used yto say "women aren't meant to be understood, just loved!"Lol 😅 love hearing all about your daily happenings, and trials-many similar to our own experiences. The variety in your many crafts makes me feel "normal"as my home is neat and organised, interspersed with those patches of "organised chaos"!(which often is the greater volume!Lol😊)❤ l agree Arne,l make petticoats for all the Barbies as well as underwear!- My grandees and their friends love these clothes because of their varieties,and the accessories that can't be bought. It's like having a visit with you! Best wishes J.I.M.K Mrs. Brisbane, Australia ❤ 🇦🇺 🪃.

[@elizabethclark8374]

Hi guys, It is very interesting to watch you talk about the clothes for Barbie. When I had a Barbie my mother patiently sewed ALL of her clothes! They were beautifully made because my mother was a gifted seamstress. She also made a suit for Ken! I do not remember ( in detail) all of the clothes that she made for my Barbie. However, I vividly remember the cranberry velvet cocktail dress with white satin sash and a very miniature white rose on the sash. It was gorgeous!! I also remember the blue wool suit that she sewed for Ken ( even with the tiny, tiny buttonholes!) My mom was a single parent and she worked all day. She would stay up late and sew Barbie clothes for my Barbie. Elizabeth Goodrich, Texas

[@lesliebowles3649]

Your passion for design really shows. I love that.

[@colleenraymond623]

My car is a girl, too. She's also a VW, but not vintage like yours. And she's a Golf. Her name is Wanda - Wanda White :D Your Barbie and doll clothing design remind me of my own passion for sewing a rag doll for my niece many years ago. I used a really sweet magazine pattern I found. It turned out quite lovely and I felt proud. I enjoyed picking the fabrics for her clothes (i.e. dress and apron), the hair yarn and buttons and stuff. Barbie and I go way back, further than I should admit. My mom sewed clothes for my Barbie, too, when I was little (and the same age in years as Barbie herself ;) It was always fun to see my Barbie's clothes made from the same fabric as something my mom had on. They were not as formal and elegant as your lovely dresses, though. Whenever you say Olso, Carlos, I think of the Oh-shlow pronunciation I practiced before my trip to Norway too long ago. It was a truly enjoyable and memorable vacation for me in your beautiful country. You are both so inspiring in many creative ways! Thank you!

[@mariac4602]

Such a fun show and I don’t mind hearing about sewing or other topics rather than knitting. It’s fascinating to learn about your many talents!

[@benjisprincess304]

Arne and Carlos, Barbie’s dress is fabulous, showcasing your design skills. I love.

[@beverlyness7954]

I love your Barbie doll dresses. Gorgeous! I think seeing the movie on a large screen in the theater would be a blast. I'd go with a friend or my daughter or even my granddaughters. The trailers are hilarious. I made a pink dress for my granddaughter's stuffed toy 'Mousy'. I used vintage pink embroidered ribbon at the top and bottom and straps as well. I used tiny vintage snaps I found in my stash (you called them press buttons) for the back closure. The lower back was open for 'Mousy's' tail. She loved it! The French books of patterns are fabulous! It's fun to see all your projects and inspirations. Thanks for the Christmas in July patterns.

[@paulinecastle1138]

Back in the 60s, my second-hand car didn’t like starting in the mornings, so at night I covered the engine with an old dressing gown (& remembered to uncover it before starting it in the morning 😮). That worked well for me.

[@prudenceadele6169]

Arne I have an electric counter top oven called Nu Wave oven and love mine .Use it nearly every day there is also only 2 of us so very handy for cooking all kinds of things. Love the dolls dresses.The knitted only will be lovely when finished. Cheers from Prue in Australia ❤

[@elaineschleifer4293]

we had that same vw manual-- when I met my husband ( in 1973) he owned a 1966 VW bug and a 1955 Willys Jeep-- my first car was a 1969 VW beetle-- he became an expert at rebuilding VW motors--

[@LexLaptopCoffee]

That VW book is so good, but it helps if you color the diagrams so you can see what goes where better. I love mine, it's so fun to color! I had a 1969 VW Beetle from 2002 until 2007, and my first copy of the book went with the car when I sold it.

[@kathrynbarker7967]

Those hexagons are really beyond stunning - the two of you not being quilters, per se, gave the hexagons “fresh eyes” and its working out wonderfully! ❤❤

[@irenemacleod5140]

Hi guys I always enjoy sit and knit you always tell us so much about your life I love hearing about it I used to make bed dolls with barbies I would crochet them well I will see you Sunday take care

[@michellesetzer9366]

Saw the pre-screening of the Barbie movie last night! Much better than I anticipated. Fun and silly and then deeper and female affirming. Greta Gerwig did a phenomenal job as director. Recommend highly!

[@lindagiering4584]

Just love your very diverse conversations and your creative abilities. I mostly watch your videos on TV, but not able to comment, so I go to my cellphone. Love the gorgeous dresses the you presented in those French Pattern books. And the attention to detail that Arne displays in the gowns he creates for his Barbie doll clothing is exquisite. And those magnificent quilts that you both create out of cloth remnants. You both our extremely talented people. I shall continue to watch and enjoy your wonderful videos.

[@aileenmiles1693]

My mom graduated from FIT and did some design work in foundations and bathing suits before she got married. She made a lot of my clothes and would sometimes make doll clothes from the scraps. She also never had an overlock sewing machine until much later and would do French seams on everything. (She taught me to sew and I have done a little, but I really don't like it. It's a bit too fussy for me. I much prefer to knit or crochet.) Your fashion books remind me of her portfolio sketches (her designs were more late '60s). Thanks for the nostalgia 💜

[@leannboyea1822]

I love that piece of art behind you ❤

[@claudiastevens9628]

My favorite part of your video today was the VW problems. I had a 1965 convertible that would not start if it even looked like rain. Loved that car.

[@rozasawicka8256]

Hi there, A&K! You've wondered what a 'shimmie' is in the context of your VW. What comes to my mind is a dance from the 70-ies called 'Shimmie shimmie', which is all about shaking and polishing the ground. I hope the hint may be helpful.

[@TK1968-tam]

The doll dresses are gorgeous ❤.

[@nancywagner1510]

Your quilt is looking lovely! Have you thought about framing each 7-piece motif with a ring of hexagons to separate it from its neighboring piece? A background color to use on the whole quilt would accentuate the design of each motif. Just a thought….whatever you do will be so pretty, I know! And if you make some pieces that don’t quite go with it, you can make a pillow cover. ( I have to confess that almost every quilt I’ve started has not gotten any farther than the “enough squares for a pillow” stage…!) I’ve had old cars for so long that I’ve had everything happen to them; my “jumpy” car turned out to have a cracked distributor cap and when it rained enough moisture got in to mess up the spark plugs. And the problem with the car that had to wait to cool down before it started again had a bad ignition coil. If you have time you might look up those parts and see if they seem to fit the description of your problems. The “shimmy” is probably related to bad tires or something not related to the engine and not what you’re actually experiencing. Hope you had a fun trip to Oslo!

[@selinab8532]

yes, shimmering could be from tyres or needs a wheel alignment; i also asked my friend who loves to do up old cars, says maybe it's a voltage issue? her wires might need redoing & upgrading; also check her carburettor, maybe her spark plugs need a clean? i think it's wonderful that you're trying to keep a gorgeous old lady going; love old VDubs, they're worthy of restoration. good luck

[@salettebryanbannister9709]

Love your series, I can't knit, yes I have tried, but I sit and quilt while watching.

[@lesliebowles3649]

I love you guys! Can’t wait to see the Barbie movie. I had Barbie ( and her friend Midge) when I was a young girl. So many memories. Now Im going to watch the behind the scenes for sure!!

[@faithcap]

Omg Carlos I had a Barbie Ballerina. It was my first Barbie of my own. I had hand me down Barbies. The funniest was my Mom's one that was the first Barbie but something happened to her along the way and she had some green staining around her eye like battery acid green. Lmao. I never had any of the big stuff either. I made my Barbie dresses out of socks. I would steal all the fancy socks from my Grandpa. He thought I was a genius for making my doll dresses out of socks and never got mad that I had stole his socks. He just wore odd ones.He was the best❤

[@kristind.8379]

Hello! My favorite part of SAKFAB is hearing about what is inspiring you 😊. Today I’m actually starting a pair of socks with yarn my husband picked out. It was only his second time in a yarn shop…. and he completely fell in love with a fabulous blue sock yarn. I was delighted to see it was from “Arne & Carlos”. I am hoping he will be inspired to learn to knit!

[@beverleylocke4207]

Thanks for sharing your design process. Inspiring. I also think the idea of sustainable crafting is very important and stimulating.

[@marilyn9155]

Good afternoon guys…. Settled with tea as you chat. What is the background for today… plates? Discs? Interesting….cannot wait to see new kitchen . Car must have been having a bad- car day ! Gorgeous gorgeous Barbie gowns !!! Lucky dolls! You can design my clothes anytime !!! Peacock scarf is lovely Arne. Hexie quilt squares are gorgeous! Hope you’re having a good trip today.. Love Marilyn NJ USA x ❤❤

[@kregister7921]

I can't wait to see your fabulous new kitchen, I hope it will be complete in time for the holiday baking episodes!😉 I just saw the Barbie movie last weekend and the fashions are to die for. Thanks for sharing info about the KZbin Arch digest, I will definitely watch it.

[@NurturingandKnittingPodcast]

Those vintage pattern books are to die for. Love! I’d wear some of those designs now. It’s “so good”. 😊❤

[@ruthadams2413]

I had a '71 beetle bug back in '74, '75. I did get another in '76 they were both boys, they were both named "George" the first one was really dependable, the second one wasn't , it hated to start when it was raining. I did most of the maintenance and the repairs and used the original how to keep your colleagues alive for the complete idiot. I enjoyed working on my bug since it was so easy. Good luck with yours

[@Fitz-14]

❤❤❤ I thought the garment sewing discussion was very interesting, thank you!

[@clappcats]

Love the beautiful Barbie gowns, enjoyed your talking about the Barbie movie, and like your hexagon blocks - so unique and very different from Kate's.

[@hollyrust2174]

I can only thank you again for such a pleasant, fun, inspirational episode to keep me company while I knit and enjoy my coffee this morning. I don’t sew but I can’t believe the quilt you are making - it will be an absolutely priceless heirloom! Loving too your love of Barbie :O)

[@antjelunskens432]

My daughter absolutely loved the Barbie movie, she went to the preview on Wednesday with her friends and they had a blast 🥰 I always loved Barbie, so many good memories from my childhood!! my grandma made me several dresses for mine (and for my youngest aunt before me) 😇

[@jillfoster6369]

Just a brilliant Sit and Knit guys - just brilliant. ❤

[@deborahalchin3360]

Oh kitchen renovations are so hard but soooo worth it in the end. We are having new flooring done- carpet today and hard floors at the end of the month. Sooooo much furniture to move.

[@susanteminsky1078]

Your video is so inspiring! Between your Beetle adventures, your renovations, Barbie, her dream house, and on to haute couture! I have so many happy memories or sewing for my dolls, using a sewing machine from a very young age!! Then on to knitting and finishing your knitting. So many inspiring topics! Thank you!!!

[@lmurton4233]

wow, your Barbie designs are gorgeous! your English Piecing work is really beautiful too; your Xmas in July designs are super cute

[@deniseschmitt5922]

Loved this. Brought back memories of my days of making doll clothes.

[@eileensecrest2185]

I collect Francie dolls, Barbie's cousin. I would love to see your video on how you make the clothes! Ive been unhappy with the choices for her and collecting fabric to make my own, so this will be fun! Good luck with the kitchen, I cannot wait to hear all about it!

[@tinekejoldersma]

I so remember that I had to spray my rotor cap with anti-moist spray as it always had this in wet weather. Those little beetles have a couple of problems that occur in wet weather. Love it that you cherish your "she".

[@teresamurphy8198]

I feel like a neutral kitchen would just be a blank slate for your creativity - you may end up never painting or changing it because you can add a million pops of color any time you wish with stuff like beautiful crochet or knit hand towels or potholders or embroidery hanging on the knobs, beautiful plates, bright colored teapots, and things on display etc. I'm sure whatever you land on will look amazing! Also- omg that second Barbie dress is to die for and I want one in my size 🤩

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

Thank you for this lovely jam-packed episode. So many cool things were presented. That mustard/red sample could make a nice doll dress with the addition of ties or snaps. 😉❤

[@benjisprincess304]

I can’t wait to get a sneak peek at your new kitchen. I’m sure it will be beautiful.

[@erigensborg]

Hi! I live in Iceland, Reykjavik and I make icelandic woolsweaters for many years and also started greenhouse gardening. Love your channel ❤️

[@BeautifulOaks]

Carlos, I hear you about having preference for drawers made of wood. I like your attitude about the more difficulty in the project, the more opportunities for creativity. Best wishes in creating an enjoyable kitchen environment ❤.

[@dawnericksen4306]

I own 1959 original Barbie. My mom made a white brocade evening gown wth a black net with velvet waist detachable overskirt with beading at the bodice. Also have original dream house from 1960s.f

[@ooohlaa13]

can you someday show some ideas how you would redo a lampshade? For my refurbish thrift shop rescue, I wound a wire shade with rose quartz color wool yarn and then crocheted a large rose and suspended it on a string to land midway on the shade. Then a satin rose color bow, and the shade sits on a base of plaster roses in blush color and looks quite nice. I wondered what you would do to refurbish a lampshade having seen the lovely lamp behind you. I didn't want to do fabric, I wanted something light and soft so I chose the yarn.

[@sewnstarlight]

tailoring and sewing skills are not lost, just as gardening and animal husbandry skills are not lost. There are organizations everywhere who support these specialties.

[@ARNECARLOS]

❤️❤️

[@lisas7025]

The talent the two of you have is beyond amazing. My Mother and Grandmother used to sew and knit clothes for the Barbie doll and regular dolls as well. I was never really into playing with Barbie dolls as a child but had ones from my older sisters. I love your quilt pieces and it will look so amazing when done and I love that you are using old items with the embroidery on it as well. I hope you get the VW problem figured out. I love seeing all your projects..... past and present! Thank you for another great SAKFAB!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching!

[@katinaskreations4825]

Love spending time with you two. I was not interested in the Barbie movie before, but your excitement about it is contagious. I can’t wait to see it! 🎉

[@ARNECARLOS]

[@inezwalsh2584]

Keep your old refrigerator and put it in your shed and you can store extra cloudberries there…I have an extra freezer for supermarket specials…

[@yvonnemiller6048]

Thank you for mentioning the Architectural Digest about the Barbie House. Very interesting. .

[@lisajahn6839]

Outstanding episode!!! Loved it all! So much variety of content! Sewing, knitting & crocheting! Perhaps an applique on the pant leg for the model doll. I LOVE th Christmas stocking and ball with the bullfinch! Georgous! Thank you all for making and sharing this beautiful video! Be well, be safe.😊❤❤

[@d14551]

According to the Townsends channel, in the 18th century dolls were often used to import the latest Paris fashion designs to the colonies.

[@jaesbow]

A&C, I suggest replacing the spark plug wires and rotor cap. As they age they do not like any form of moisture. Rain, fog, high humidity can do strange things.

[@kirsikivinen167]

Thank you for a lovely episode again. Hope you had nice time in Oslo.

[@mariangravemaker7412]

I love The Barbie dresses! My mother and our neighbor knitted a lot of clothes for my Barbie dolls in the 60’s. I still have the patterns from the brand named Scheepjes. Did you see the movie Mrs Harris goes to Paris? A lovely movie about couture. I think you will like it. And try to see the BBC program The sewing bee. It is such an inspirational program. Greetings from Marian

[@debbieevans7276]

Love it all, but I am really excited to see your EPP quilt evolve!!

[@TOBY_AND_LUCYS_ADVENTURES]

I can make patterns from drawings too, i was taught by my grandmother who was a tailoress. Also i learnt at college i am in uk. I make dolls clothing too, i overlock the raw edges. Usually i make dresses that match a childs garment.

[@QueenofEastPond]

Good luck with the new kitchen! We're hoping to get ours done next year. After putting it off for many years we're finally facing up to it.

[@mfg1035]

You look great as always! Love your videos ❤

[@michelegrossman1270]

Looking forward to hearing about your kitchen color solution. I painted my cabinets pistachio and used deep purple as an accent in my curtain color. I’ll bet you’ll find the ideal saturated color to complement your cabinets!

[@aliciaquintano6506]

I'll be so excited to see your short video about making doll clothes! Your discussion about it today was fascinating and inspiring.

[@zlatahume3134]

We had a old car and when it jumped it was dirty fuel and we knew the filling station, but it was also that our dad was forever simplifying the engine. Like we do not need this and that and then we had problems on the road so feel for you. Our car also did not like when people were singing in the car, also did not like the steep hills. So I have plenty of stories ……😊

[@juliemeanor6531]

Love the dolls and the clothing. I make dresses for all sizes of dolls and teddys. Some things I have learned, Human size clothing seam finishes won’t work for tiny clothes. after sewing, use fabric glue to finish the seams of fabric that ravels. ( dolls won’t complain if it scratches). I use kitchen paper towels to make a “muslin”. It’s easy to cut and shape and mark on. It can be carefully hand sewn too to check the fit. I have knit several of your dolls and made knit and sewn fabric clothes for them. Thank you for all the knitting time SAKFAB.❤🎉

[@allisonkohtz8540]

I saved this episode to watch on my day off, and I’m so glad I did. Loved everything you talked about today (even though - true confession - I’ve never been a Barbie fan). Your enthusiasm is terribly contagious and made me so happy. And, I finished my first mitten ever while watching this episode! I feel like I’ve finally arrived! Thank you for accompanying me on my journey. Love to you both!

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad you liked it and well done on the mitten!

[@robynsmith4352]

I love the blue and white quilt pieces… it reminds me of Carlos’ favorite kitchen pottery dishes. The final quilt is going to be stunning! Christmas in July 😊yay‼️. Love it! I think Arne is bragging hahaha 🤣. Blessings to you both💕

[@jodiealaoui7293]

Thank you for the Christmas in July discount! I love the bullfinch motif and ordered your patterns last night. Birds are a year round joy for me. 💕

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@kellihayden3987]

I have a 1967 bug that would act up in a similar way. Our gas filter was getting plugged. So, I kept a supply of new filters in the glove box and would change it out when the bug was having a fit.

[@tamd.6827]

We had an old car that often had engine trouble when it rained. My husband would take out the spark plugs, dry them and put them back in. Sometimes this would help.

[@bellascraftystudio]

Oh my goodness you were so much fun to watch and listen to today. I am working in my slow stitch book and I really enjoyed stitching with you two funny guys. The Barbie stories were hilarious, thank you both so much. love you both to bits. Xxxx

[@karenolson7834]

I loved this podcast today ! And an extra special surprise patterns for Christmas. So excited.

[@kathyschemine3072]

True, there are no rules for how long to wear you pajamas. My mom, who raised 8 children, loved summertime because it meant she had a lot less laundry to hang out on the line. We wore either our pajamas or our bathing suits all summer long, except for our Sunday clothes when we went to Mass. If it was a rare day when it rained all day, it was declared a 'jammie day' and we were allowed to stay in our PJs all day.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Sounds amazing

[@meditativecrafter9347]

Watched and gave thumbs up 👍💜

[@margeferguson9512]

I love the Barbie dress designs!! (I still have my Barbies and little sister Skipper) The first dress is lovely! When Carlos turned her around I thought it was designed with an open tear drop back, which I thought was gorgeous, before I realized you said it was too small. Would it be possible to put an open back in now to work for Barbie to wear that dress? It's stunning! I enjoy learning about all your adventures. Thank you for sharing !!❤

[@RebeccaStokes-g6t]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. You guys are AMAZING!!! Love the Barbie clothes and beautiful hexagon pieces. I'm not a knitter, but I definitely appreciate the lovely items both of you make! Wow! Thanks for sharing and adding joy and laughter to my day in the mountains of NC💕

[@annesmith3352]

Quilting is very very pretty! Love design it’s gorgeous! Xx ❤

[@cherylhaupt4692]

I had that SAME book when I had my Bug! I learned to set the tappet valves using it. My DH’s Kharmann Ghia had a similar “shimmy & shake” symptom, and it turned out to be a loose wire on the carburetor cap. With only 4 cylinders, when 1 would “short out”, there was an immediate and noticeable drop in the power.

[@kathyffarney-keck8593]

My 1st car was a super beetle. I've never loved another car more. How is your new years resolution going.

[@carolyndixon7263]

Love you two! I have an original “Volkswagen for Dummies” repair manual from the 70s, for my 1969 Bug, which I still have (car & book both). As a young girl I learned to do so much from it back then, so I am sure you can figure it out. Maybe look into a clogged fuel line, clogged spark plugs, or a problem with the clutch going out. Hope for the first two, the clutch runs into money ☹️. Best of luck! The dear little Bugs are so worth it! BTW my Bug is named Hobbit.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Lucky you!

[@yvonneteunissen9856]

❤❤❤ the blue and white quilt squares. Reminds me of the colours of Delft Bleau

[@francesinglis6078]

Re Barbie I line her dresses or make petticoat for the dresses just finished making sleeping bags for my granddaughter collection she does not have the house they live in a box, I’ve also knitted a wedding dress and made another wedding dress out of my veil ❤

[@marygrouse8004]

Love that you give so much love to old things❤

[@jennifersangster2814]

I loved the idea of pajama gardener. I love on a farm so it is very private. I too meditate, exercise and then go outside in my PJ's to see what needs to be done. by 9 or 10 am i am in my working clothes. Love you all

[@ARNECARLOS]

The best way to live!

[@benjisprincess304]

Arne and Carlos, that speedy knitting of the Christmas stocking and ball sounds like a challenge.

[@karenstuhlfeier4213]

I was just looking through all of the Barbie clothes that my Mom made for us in the late 60"s. Amazing knit sweaters and a crocheted gown that you're really love. I wish that there were some way to share pictures with you. We're going to the Barbie movie this afternoon!

[@michelemurnane2834]

I love seeing how you work.

[@janetretzer4869]

Interesting problem with your car. The same thing happened to me. Exactly! It turned out that there was something obstructing the fuel line. Some debris in the gasoline blogged up the fuel line. Had the tank cleaned out and never happened again.
