[@thelasthomelyhouse]

thank you Arne! I will be watching with great excitement! Thank you xxxx and the advice about the practice is just great Carlos! you are the best!! xxxxx And I made a draft excluder out of proggy mat! a few months ago! xxx My house is stone and can be very cold!

[@ulli4303]

Oh I love it when the lime green sofa visits norway ❣️hello kate❣️

[@bluegrassdreams2seams510]

It’s filled with love and your glowing personality! I love watching all of you!

[@chrisberry7712]

How lovely to have three special people together! KZbin has been a miracle for bringing folk together! Bless you all!

[@michellealexander3174]

I don’t know if you knew, but Dolly Parton donated a million dollars for Coronavirus research. A portion of that donation was used to help fund the research and development of the Moderna vaccine. We have to thank Dolly for not only her wonderful music but her generosity.

[@lisaenglert3202]

Queen 👑

[@chrisberry7712]

There are some wonderfully generous folk about, and they don’t shout it from the rooftops, just see where the need is, and get on with it. Dolly is a very special lady!

[@TexasChance58]

How wonderful that you are helping our friend Kate with steeking! You gentlemen are amazing and so kind. ♥

[@chiwaluvcritter8811]

Thank you so much Carlos , for adding all the English, for us to enjoy your videos. We appreciate all that hard work!

[@clappcats]

Your refurbished fireplace is gorgeous, and even better with the two of you sitting in front of it for Sit and Knit for a Bit. I'm so happy to be able to learn from your series about Norwegian knitting traditions. Hearing these in your language(s) lends a special richness to the episodes. Listening to you both speak so comfortably in your native language, I realize how well you do speaking English. Thank you both for what you bring to us.

[@deeptizaremba3699]

Definitely three dialects! And you both seem to be more formal and polite when speaking Norwegian, and more relaxed and casual with Sit and Knit, in English. Always learn so much from your specials and Sit and Knits. Thank you.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@sandramyer7081]

Im exciting to see you both and talking and chatting- his knitting is wow and fast and beyond me!wow! lucky man, Arne! you have a great life together!

[@alisonmclane3645]

Thank you for your hard work with the translations Carlos. That episode was fascinating to hear you speaking Norwegian. The language has such a lovely lilt and I found I could pick out some words the more I listened. Also congratulations on your new stunning fireplace. A treasure! Yes, tell us about the blue figure!

[@lindaesler1420]

It’s so relaxing to see your country and all the traditions, I almost feel like I am there! Thank you for all your research, filming, translating and expertise .

[@blasebaker]

I like hearing the difference languages. So happy your fireplace is done.

[@linneamae8883]

And I love to hear the sound of Norwegian. What a beautiful language!❤️

[@suepeterson5042]

I just LOVE Sit and Knit for a Bit.

[@michelemurnane2834]

I love ABBA. So excited to see their new show and hear the new and old songs.

[@staceyvanier15]

Soapstone is coveted here in Canada for countertops/sinks. It is also the stone used by Inuit sculptors for their pieces. Beautiful!

[@gailweeks4334]

And for beautiful wood stoves imported from the NORDIC countries!

[@Kaila999]

Yes, I was going to comment about Inuit soapstone sculpting. I believe someone came from southern Canada back in the 50s or so and introduced the craft to the Inuit as a way for them to supplement their income. It became very popular with the other Canadians. Many people in my neighbourhood had one or two figurines or sculptures in their homes, and also gave them as wedding gifts, etc. The art increased greatly in value, but must have a tag of authenticity. The pieces are made of stone in various colours: light or dark grey, lovely shades of green. I don’t know whether it’s open at the moment, but there is a gorgeous collection of Inuit sculptures in the lobby of the TD Tower in downtown Toronto, open free to the public. I actually saw it years ago on a Sunday.

[@catherinelemaster3883]

I so enjoy this series! I heard three different dialects, too. Thanks for showing us this beautiful area, its culture and welcoming people!

[@TinaReutin]

I loved hearing / reading the episode with wool dyeing and more including the absolutely charming Liv in the Grandmother’s House. I had to put down my crochet project so I could read what you all were saying. But I loved hearing Arne & Carlos in Norwegian. Amazing how Carlos is so fluent in at least three languages. Arne‘s personality didn‘t change, he still impishly asked to stir the pot of wool, same as he would in English. I think Arne is perfectly competent in both English and his native language. Nice to see you in front of your lovely fireplace.

[@tinahigley1956]

Arne and Carlos, I wish you two knew how much your channel means to me. My great grandmother, Annie, came to the USA at 15 yrs. old BY HERSELF from Ramdala, Sweden. I have been involved in genealogy for some time and have always felt drawn to her. I found your channel totally by accident and am now knitting “Norwegian Style” with great joy! I almost feel my great-Gma smiling and nodding her head in approval as I continue to improve my new knitting style. I lost my sweet husband 2 years ago and still struggle so much. Thank you for re-igniting my love of knitting and also connecting me to my great-grandmother! I only wish I could be riding along in that awesome VW “Bug” with you! Gud velsigne deg! 😘

[@chrisberry7712]

Bless you Tina, I read your message and felt the love that you share with your family. My husband is in care with dementia, which I find very hard, however, Arne and Carlos, and Kate, from the Last Homely House keep me grounded, This wonderful series about traditional Norwegian dress is a particular joy. I have friends in Tonsberg who wear their costumes for special occasions, and, like you I feel a strong link to the country. I’m from England, but have Viking blood. Take care X

[@tinahigley1956]

@@chrisberry7712 Thank you! I, too, have a bit of Viking blood, but majority of ancestors hail from Scotland, Ireland and Wales. Who knows? Maybe we’re related through some ancient clan! I’m so sorry you are having to navigate that cruel, unknown journey that is dementia with your husband. I don’t think people fully understand how difficult it is to take on the care of a loved one unless they’ve been there. I pray you both receive all the love and support you need for whatever lies ahead. Peace be with you.💛

[@TexasChance58]

And the fireplace looks wonderful! So glad your project is completed!

[@merrileeericson9243]

Beautiful fireplace! What a treasure in your home

[@estherrubin867]

Your fireplace is beautiful. The shirts you’re wearing look great in front of it, LOL. Carlos, thank you so much for your translations, you’ve done a spectacular job. It’s not easy to do, as you mentioned, especially when needing to us technical terms or words that don’t exist in English. The music you use for the intro is lovely, too.I Can’t wait for the next episode.

[@bluegrassdreams2seams510]

Carlos, you are amazing with language! Thank you for transcribing words. I enjoy listening and forget to read! So I need to watch third episode again. Thank you for taking the time!

[@alexandrarebelcrafter9328]

I LOVED the Norwegian journey and all the information and history.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Alexandra!

[@sjgriebling]

To me you sound more relaxed when you speak in your native language, which makes perfect sense. Enjoying these episodes while I knit some socks with my Arne and Carlos yarn!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Have fun sock knitting!

[@lindachism7775]

Oh, I love the sweater with blue, red and black. Beautiful. Your fireplace looks so nice. I’m glad you got the work done in time for cool weather. I look forward to every visit with you both. Thank you

[@elainedraper5267]

I really like listening to you both speaking, you interact so well in any language.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@MarkLloydMusic]

Great work on the translation Carlos! Enjoying all your videos. Always interesting, informative, and fun.

[@pennypark9070]

It's great to spend 15 minutes (!!) with both of you. Your transcribing for the Setasdal episodes is great Carolos. It was lovely to hear you all speak your own languages.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Penny!

[@brendawilliams6838]

Thank you for all the detailed work Carlos. It was so nice to be included through your efforts.

[@katherinefischer5747]

Another terrific episode. So glad your fireplace is nearly done!

[@pattikubacki622]

I thought Arne seemed so much more comfortable speaking his native language. Could tell the difference between Arne's speech and Carlos' speech. Liv's speech was so very different from the two of you. It was very interesting.

[@bluegrassdreams2seams510]

I agree! Arne did appear more comfortable. His English is getting better though. 😀

[@elaineenstone6834]

Glad to see the fireplace is completed so you will be able to have a fire for Christmas. Love the idea of doing up old sweaters and making them look like new.

[@annieboulton5759]

Hello Arne, hi Carlos. It's great to see that you are now able to put all your stuff back in your finished room. Lovely knits and new yarn to knit with too. I am looking forward to seeing what you will knit with the beautiful yarn Carlos. Thoroughly enjoying your series guys. Just watched them all in a row. Binged lol. Can't wait for the next one. See you soon xxx

[@meadowsweetfarmfiberartsdesign]

What a beautiful fireplace! I noticed Arne seemed much more relaxed and engaged in the conversation speaking his native language. Carlos seemed a bit more serious. Very informative and beautiful landscape. Thank you for sharing with all of us this historical textile journey!

[@ARNECARLOS]

😀

[@joygieseke581]

Love your Sit and Knit Abits! And now for a little Abba!

[@sarahchang2835]

I lived in England as a child and my parents loved to buy old drafty beautiful Victorian houses, so draft excluders were definitely needed at the front and back doors, your pattern is beautiful, we had one made of old sweaters. It was lovely listening to the Norwegian language, I didn't realize how melodic it was. The tones of the language is what struck me the most, I am always impressed when people can speak other languages, well done to both of you for speaking such good English!!!

[@foleyjp1]

The living room and fireplace look wonderful. You both are so productive, you inspire me always - not just with fiber arts, but also with your joy of life. I am very curious about the blue figurine behind Arne's left shoulder. What is the story about it?

[@debbie.mckenzie]

Me too! Looks like a bearded lady.

[@pebblecritter]

@Judith Foley - I was fascinated by that as well! I'd love to know the story behind it!

[@janetcarter6975]

I thought he resembled Prince Carl of Sweden.

[@byggrynsgroet]

looks like conchita, the famous bearded lady that won eurovision a few years back. just look at those hips, thats no ordinary man! and everybody knows that hips dont lie😛

[@fffd]

Is it the Saint Wilgefortis I see behind Arne?

[@carlawolff8793]

Yes to enjoying your Norwegian traditions series. This is going to have to be a regular production in September. Just sayin'. Yes to your excellent job of translating the dialog to English. Some of us do not have the gift of many languages. Yes, to cashmere. MMMmmmmmm, and that colour. Oh my, I might have to break from all my UFO's. A busy Arne and Carlos, means lots of entertainment for me. Thank you for all the knitting time. Stay healthy.

[@TexasChance58]

And yes, I do hear different nuances in all of your speaking. I find it fascinating and charming.

[@leslieeggleston3917]

I think it’s beautiful to listen to you speaking your native tongue. I could listen to it for hours even tho I don’t know what you are saying.

[@sally9123]

Nice to see the fire place back behind you. It will be a relief to know it’s safe even if it does not look very different. Carlos ~ I really appreciate your translations they are the best I’ve come across because they are clear and on the screen for long enough to read them and still watch the video.

[@lindachism7775]

ABBA?? I love ABBA. I still sing all their song while I’m driving. Their music never gets old. I’ll always be a fan. Great news.

[@florenfroe23]

I’m loving the series. Thank you.

[@jennil7797]

In England, scythe is pronounced 'sigh' then "th" as in the word then. We have a hay meadow, long growing mixed grasses and flowers. Our hay was cut very late this year but the smell in our barn is wonderful. Lucky sheep, they will enjoy it when the weather is cold. I would love a hay meadow colours yarn to knit with. Shades of green and mixed flower colours specks.

[@davidhensley76]

Same pronunciation in the US: soft 'th' on 'scythe'

[@anneohara3527]

In Canada too

[@Stettafire]

Advice to anyone struggling with the th sound, if you start off treating it like an f. So, Sigh-f.

[@chrisberry7712]

Your hay meadow sounds lovely Jenni! I have a friend in Canterbury who looks after a wild flower meadow, it too is cut with a scythe - a reflective process, hard physical work, but satisfying and grounding.

[@robynwaymouth2219]

Same pronunciation in Australia too. The "th" if fully pronounced

[@ecouturehandmades5166]

Having an explanation of the Dale sweater construction is awesome! I find them, on rare occasion, in vintage shops for next to nothing. 15 years ago, I found one in red that still had all of its silver buttons, that fit perfectly, in like new condition. It is my "go to" fancy sweater for winter wear. Very warm! Nice for our MN deep freeze cold. Dale sweaters I find in other sizes have been appreciated gifts.

[@lauramalley4496]

I must say, Carlos, that you have done a wonderful job with the subtitles. I was so intent on reading that I didn't really notice a difference between you and Arne with your language! Enjoyed today's episode of course

[@lisaenglert3202]

I agree! 😊

[@stitchingbytheriver8666]

I liked the new fireplace so much. Can t wait to see a good fire in it with Arne sitting in his chair knitting near by... Take care.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@tammyjaenson2620]

Thanks for the ABBA update! I had to pause the video, go check out the new music, forward the details to my husband and come back to thank you both. 😊

[@ARNECARLOS]

😍🤗

[@maryhansen1112]

I am so enjoying your podcasts. I have learned so much. My husband is Danish, my grandmother was Danish. Been there many times. I plan to visit Norway on our next trip. Thank you so very very much.

[@bruesmeli]

Another excellent 15 minute episode😉😊 Great steeking tip using an old sweater! Love you guys🥰

[@luciaevangelho4593]

It is great news about ABBA, I love this band. Your Wednesday series is great! I enjoyed learning about your traditions!

[@jackiewessel7195]

I think Arne seems more comfortable in Norwegian. Everyone sounds different. It is much fun and educational. Really enjoying the series!!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Good to hear that!

[@judycole8284]

Yes, this was a very good hour spent with you!

[@ARNECARLOS]

An hour well spent!

[@KateColors]

Like Arné, I always have a problem when sewing blouses. If there's a facing, I always sew the wrong piece to the opposite side of the blouse, always forgetting to match the notches before sewing all the sides in place. I'm also good at taking it apart and doing the same thing all over again! Love that yarn color, Carlos! It'll look great on you. I love the fireplace, too. In the states, we put a piece of soap stone on the top of a cast iron stove and you can heat a kettle of water. We call the door thingy a draft stopper. Thank you for a great chat today! --KateColors

[@lsdev4229]

"Hurry up and wait" is my life!🤣🥰🇨🇦, Sharon.

[@clonejones7955]

Hey I'm a 🇨🇦 Sharon as well.👍

[@alysonrodrigues122]

Must be such a relief to have the fireplace finally completed. You both look well. To answer your questions Carlos:- yes, I heard English words and and a few Afrikaans ones as well; neither of you ‘change your personalities’ when speaking Norwegian, you are both so respectful, considerate and obviously interested in what your guests have to share. The Norwegian courtesies are front & centre and it has been lovely to observe the natural friendliness and approachable manner with which you and your guests communicate. Your playfulness and lightheartedness does shine through too. Back at home, your personas are a lot more casual (obviously) but this suites the setting.You two are just pro’s at your jobs. The Bees Knees. xxxx

[@leetrayer8639]

I appreciate your hard work and talent.

[@bestrnlynzeep]

Carlos, you've done an excellent job of translating. It is very fun to hear you all speak Norwegian and I am loving the Craft Traditions show. Fireplace looks awesome. You guys look awesome. Lots of love to you both from Utah, U.S.

[@misspeacchy]

Your new fireplace is lovely. In the US old farmhouses often used soapstone for the kitchen sinks.

[@wendyahles]

I love the back and forth between you and Kate ;)

[@SparrowFowler]

I love your scarf and agree that lace is not difficult and that jacket pattern is fantastic! Great episode as always! Thank you.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@1enediyne]

I really enjoyed hearing the videos in Norwegian! Thanks for all the hard work Carlos!

[@evacourtemanche2521]

Hi Arne and Carlos. Eva here from Canada. My first time commenting on your videos, but I've only been watching for about six months. I'm also a fan of Kate from The Last Homely House. I've watched your videos on steeking, and I thought they were very easy to follow. But then again, I'm a sewist for over 50 years. Knitting for 48 years, so, even if it's a new technique for me, it was very welcome. I can't wait to try the technique. Love your series on the Norwegian traditions. Keep up the good work!!!!!

[@Gargoyleswife]

I just love Sit and Knit for a bit. Thank you Carlos for saying that you should practice steeking on a sweater from the thrift store. I didn't think of that and I'm going to eventually try that. I can't wait to see you steek the sweater Arne.

[@devoted2knit177]

The fireplace looks wonderful ! What a lovely story about the soap stone. We’ll see the depth at Christmas time with the tree no doubt. You both look great! The Norwegian Craft series is so nice. A lot of work I see, but very appreciated. So happy with the patterns you are releasing.

[@dianabarnes8538]

I didn't notice a difference in languages. I couldn't understand a word any of you said.lol I did notice that Arne was more confident than normal. He was much more sure of himself speaking in Norwegian. I am loving this series. I love the Setesdal knitting patterns. They are just beautiful.

[@Susan-jf6bs]

I don’t think your personalities change when you speak different languages. What changes is your way of expressing your thought depending on proficiency in that language and the vocabulary it provides. I loved the different dialects when I lived in Switzerland. It just makes the language that much richer! Thanks for exposing us to your language and dialects!💕

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome and thank you for your insight Susan.

[@catnapper3923]

In re language: I love words and the sound of language. I love to hear speech that I don’t understand - but occasionally connect with. My husband is studying Old Norse; he loves the stories and sagas. Another friend is Danish; she says she catches glimpses of her language in Shetland. This is all an illustration, isn’t it, of how different we all are but how we are connected. One thing: Carlos, your hours of careful translating/transcribing work and of finding le môt juste shows. It is brilliantly done. You make it look easy - which it isn’t. It is thrilling to read the words while listening to the original. Subject aside, I would watch/listen to the episodes JUST for the language and the work you’ve done. I *adore* language. I actually thought you both were fairly true to self in both languages. I can see Arne’s accommodating and gracious efforts to set everyone at ease and his love of Beauty and Workmanship - that comes through - and Carlos’ articulate recap/explanation of what has just previously been demonstrated or explained. So I’d say - no, you are yourselves. Thank you!

[@suecallen2160]

Arne...I, too, am having to re-do French seams. I made eight satin pillow cases for gifts but forgot to reduce the width of the panels when I cut them out. Now I have to make the pillow cases 6-inches narrower, re-do the French side seams, and match up scallop stitching on the hem. Nice when something's done right...a real pain when it has to be redone to get it right. Always like the end product!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@knittingmother]

I'm loving all of the crafting traditions episodes, and I especially enjoyed the one at the Gomas House. Liv is delightful! Liked hearing you speaking Norwegian, too. I dye a few skeins at a time with my young grandchildren, and we're always searching for more natural ways to get different colors. When the kids come back, we'll have to watch the video together.

[@sandykoenig1666]

I love how the fireplace turned out. The statue by the fireplace is so beautiful.

[@judyurrutia6072]

Very enjoyable and thanks for doing this series. Loved the dying process and using the native plants. You guys are amazing! Seem to be comfortable anywhere in any language.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@katinaskreations4825]

So funny that you mentioned looking more comfortable speaking Norwegian. I was absolutely thinking that you both looked more relaxed and Arne looked to Carlos less often when speaking about something. Nice to see you both so relaxed.

[@maryannschleer1176]

Carlos, thank you for all the translation work, I thoroughly enjoyed the episodes in Norwegian. So happy to part of your “family.” Arne, I am very interested on how you encased or finished those sleeves, the jacket is so beautiful, a tutorial on finishing would be very appreciated. Thank you for enriching my life, we are more snd more isolated again due to the Delta variant going into another long and perhaps lonely winter, you brighten my days!

[@champagnesupernova5745]

Rewatching and happy to see you!!

[@lindatuttle5897]

I thought both of you were very comfortable speaking Norwegian . You can tell the difference in dialects, especially Liv’s. I am really enjoying this series. Thank you.

[@michellehenderson2773]

Thank you Arne and Carlos love the fireplace and Arne excitement to Abba lol🤣 everyone I know can't wait either Have a great weekend xx

[@mistyblue5312]

Listening to ABBA’s latest hit “Dont Shut Me Down” and thinking of both of you …. Thanks for these fun episodes and sharing your knitting/crafting life.

[@gailgaddy5340]

Love the episodes on the crafts and traditions. I could tell a bit of difference in accents, Arne of course, was more relaxed in conversation. The fireplace looks great, really like the soapstone. ❤️

[@ARNECARLOS]

👍

[@mariamercedesromero6824]

I love everything about your knitting since 2016,I was searching how to knit a pair of mittens for my mom and then KZbin show me a video from you,I learned 2 things first how easy is follow a tutorial in english and how to be happy and smile with your humor and more because at that time I was spending difficult times because my mom was slowly going out of his mind. After she passed away I found that knitting help me a lot so I subscribe to your channel and I learn stitches and different ways to knit and so till today but I like to thank you today September 12 of 2021 Arn and Carlos for be like you are for make me smile. By the way I'm from Argentina 🇦🇷 and because of you I found the happiest way to knit ! Circular needles and 5 dp!!!! I've never though I could knit a sock or even follow a pattern from Weldon"s from 1887, my daughter went to NY for business and she bough me a box of needles. After the pandemia I lost my jobs so now I'm retired but since then slowly I began to knit first for charity until someone bough a mittens and now i knit and that help me again to gain money so remember all started with a pair of mittens in your channel. Lot of love from the other down under 😁♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🇦🇷

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you so much for sharing❤️❤️

[@apippin774]

Great job translating Carlos!

[@laurelstieg9375]

Great episode,,Carlos shirt matches the candle holder on the mantle..cool ,but I love the folk statue on Arnes left..lots of wonderful info .👍🤗❣

[@evelynfrench804]

We have a black soapstone fireplace surround. Love the stone. Great to know the stone is found in Norway, appeals to my Scandinavian roots. 😀

[@joycechapman262]

God bless. Have a wonderful weekend

[@jerananelms1760]

I always learn something. I am almost finished with my Christmas stocking. Love it

[@ARNECARLOS]

Well done!

[@dianadarby9108]

thank you both for all you do to bring so much wonderful info to us.. your fireplace was worth the wait. I can't imagine why anyone would give you guys a thumbs down, always always a two thumbs up!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Diana, maybe they just pressed the wrong button!

[@lisagimblett8646]

Your fireplace looks amazing!

[@FibreBound]

Thank you for the tips about practicing steeking, such a great idea to practice before trying on a new hand knit!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@samanthah-g4387]

Thank you for the great tip about practicing steeking on an old sweater. I have been afraid to try steeking in case I ruined what I had knit. I am English living in the US and your videos are one of the ways I stay connected to Europe. Keep up the great work!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Have fun steeking!

[@vickifeick8812]

I love how your outfits match the fireplace and the candle holders! The grey and gold go so well together!

[@janikabertone5566]

Oh the joys of home ownership! But I always feel so good when I accomplish things myself. Wonderful video

[@lindamarlatt3259]

Happy for you that your fireplace is finished! I do not envy the cleaning that comes after such a dusty repair. I am enjoying your Norwegian Craft Traditions episodes.

[@ARNECARLOS]

That's great to thear!

[@RosannaRiondato]

The Gomes Hus episode was interesting on many levels, language being one of them. There was a clear difference in how all three of you spoke. Arne seemed much more at ease. I noticed how Liv rounded out the "i" as in "bee" in "en time" to sound almost like a drawn-out "i" sound as in "hi". Also, in Norwegian, there is a distinct humming noise made after Liv explained something which Carlos imitated right away, lending truth to a comment made by Arne in last year's trip where Carlos picks up the sounds of different places very quickly. In any case, thank you for the hard work and time put in translating, Carlos. We all appreciate it very much! Congratulations on the fireplace. It looks lovely. I so enjoyed the "News from the Fireplace".😄 I look forward to the next episode from Setesdal.

[@bobbiallison1117]

Fun episode!!! Thank you both again.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Bobbi!

[@kimbetts4282]

Hi Arne and Carlos. I've just finished watching the Setesdal series and it was fantastic to see the heritage crafts being researched and passed down. I think Arne is still a little cheeky and Carlos, you are still quite formal but I don't say that as a bad thing. It was good to hear Norwegian spoken, especially for the traditional parts of each craft, such as the name of the embroidery and the different stitches. I felt the Celtic/Irish lilt to Kim's singing also and have followed him on my Spotify account. Thank you so much for sharing your heritage with us. Xx

[@roseprincess2155]

Very enjoyable!

[@dorindacontreras1094]

I’m so happy you have your fireplace back! Somehow I missed the sit in it for a bit. I don’t know how! I’m so happy to see it though.

[@hollyrust2174]

My things I love; Moose episodes make me chuckle, hearing you say ironing Linen is such a pain as I TOTALLY agree, hearing that you make mistakes like putting the sleeves on the wrong side, etc., etc. I listened too and I could hear the differences in the way the three of you were speaking. I thought that you were your authentic selves speaking your native languages, however, I think you speak wonderful English so there’s that. Looking forward to see the tutorial on steeking- I am mortified to try. Thanks for the fun and keeping me company while I knit!

[@mary-ruthflores4107]

It’s such fun hearing the dialogue and reading the transition. Good job! To decide on the color of the chimney, put up a gray sheet and then a white sheet live with each for a while and see which makes both of y’all happy

[@ARNECARLOS]

Good!

[@lynnyamamoto33]

I love hearing Norwegian being spoken. Yes, could hear differences among the voices of the three of you. The language is very soft and melodic, and you two seems so at ease chatting with Liv. When it’s the two of you alone on Sit and Knit for a Bit, there’s more humor, but I don’t think it’s because of the language. When you were with Liv, you just seemed to be honoring the traditions and her knowledge and mastery of them. I love your inquisitiveness and wonder at what we’re learning from these artisans. Thank you for this deep dive into Setesdal!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome Lynn and thank you for joining us on this journey!

[@calistawiebusch9205]

Yea - your fireplace is back!
