The ARNE & CARLOS Daily Quarantine Knitting podcast. Ep. 14. A recap on what we've been through.

[@vivianpowell1732]

This episode should be classified as a Public Service Announcement and Humanitarian Message to the World. I was spellbound by your candor about your personal ordeal and humbled by your unselfish regard for the welfare of other people who might otherwise have suffered as well. There was something spiritual about the way you shared your story with us, and I feel blessed for having heard it. Thank you.

[@lindamaisonneuvemiller5953]

I’m so glad to hear you advocating for self isolation and other precautions. Thank you. I’m so grateful you are both okay. You are bright lights in my sky.

[@judypierce2495]

Thank you for sharing your experience so candidly and so completely.

[@magikalnerd7030]

Thank you so much for sharing. Too many of my fellow Americans don't get it. People here still think covid is a hoax. I'm glad you recovered.

[@cruzianfibergeek]

It was impactful to hear you express that you're glad not to have passed the virus to anyone. I wish more people thought that way. I hear to many complaints about the inconvenience of social distancing instead of thinking of the life they can save. Sorry for the mini-rant.

[@sandrachilds7229]

Amen! Rant on amsterling.

[@chrisberry7712]

Don’t apologise - you’re absolutely correct!

[@shirleybeard2318]

amsterling1 we must continue to be advocates for doing what is advised by health specialists. Keep spreading the word about being responsible for the community’s health!

[@mgkrewson]

I realized listening to this that as someone living in the US, hearing about an experience with a functioning medical system sounds like a fairy tale. Glad you're both feeling better!

[@rebeccaclark6291]

I’m so sorry you have been sick, glad your doing better..I just found your videos and I love them all...I love crocheting and knitting...no where as good as you are, I just crochet and knit to please myself....

[@jenniferfarsh675]

I hope the protesters will hear this message. You saved lives by staying home ❤️ Thank You!

[@lindawilson8434]

Yes they are putting so many people in harm I don't know what is wrong with them

[@chrisberry7712]

Unfortunately they are shortsighted, ignorant or selfish, or all three!

[@dawnesmith-sliming7004]

People who believe they are ‘so right’ are not open to listening. That’s why they make such a mess of things. They don’t have to hear you, me or Carlos because they are important and we are not. :(

[@bettycortez-tate4284]

How loving of both of you to make that most important decision to self quarantine. You protected the health of countless people. You set a very good example of self sacrifice. We are asked to stay at home for a reason. To protect our ourselves and even more importantly to protect others. To say thank you doesn't seem to be adequate but the feeling is deep in everyone's heart I'm sure. ❤

[@kathleenbacon3720]

I’m laughing at “If the Coronavirus doesn’t kill you, then Arne’s cooking will”. Thank you so much for sharing your experience, and I’m so happy you’re on the mend, Carlos!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@shirleyhanson6132]

Hello from Montana, USA where we are still in "shelter in place". Thank you for your frankness about the virus and how it affected you. Bless you both.🙂

[@canndell]

Shirley Hanson here from Montana too!

[@pamelaharris4016]

Again, a big smile for a full 30 minutes. So happy to see you both and already looking forward to tomorrow. And to Friday learning to sew the blocks together. And to new blocks! Most of all so grateful for your continued healing Carlos.

[@Makersbujo]

Yeah for porridge gate, bananas and the new film location. So happy to see you two back. Take care and knit/crochet trough all crises ❤️🌿🐑 And Loving your both hairdo’s 👬

[@monika_rudnicka]

It is so great you are back -- you are never gloomy, believe me. And your blanket on the chair - so shiny, so lovely like little cute suns :) You doing great job supporting so many people - love you and hug you later! Greatings from Poland, Monika ❤️

[@barbaram5787]

You both were so smart to have self isolated after your travels. You protected so many people by doing that and not spreading anything. Just sorry you had to go through it. So glad you are both better.🙂🧡 / knitting with a solid color using textured pattern is beautiful too.🙂

[@helennorbury9765]

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences boys. It wasn’t a gloomy podcast. It was a podcast that gives people hope that even going through what you went through you can still come out of the other side fighting. I’m sorry to say though that I shed a tear when Carlos said he spoke to the angels. Well done boys and let’s resume where you left off xxxxxx

[@connieolson8497]

You did an excellent Public service announcement regarding Covid 19. You both do what everyone should do and act like during this pandemic.stay home, wear mask and wash hands. So glad to hear you are feeling better. Still take care of yourself.

[@linettelow]

I’m really happy you’re well again, Carlos

[@gingermolinero8386]

Blanket please. Arne and Carlos so glad you are both healthy again. We are all very grateful to you for giving us something to look forward to each day and for the knit along.

[@deborahdemasse6764]

Glad you are better Carlos!! What a blessing Arne was as you recovered! Vitamins and keep the weight off!!!😊

[@angelaevans8632]

I don’t think the podcast was gloomy at all Carlos. You both are loved by the knitting community and we have all been extremely worried about you both. You need space and time away from the public when you are unwell but I for one was desperate to find out if you were ok so it was really great to see you both today. Take things easy until you feel fully recovered. Thank you both for all that you do for us.xAngela

[@kathleendanley6082]

You can't change what you don't know but so thankful you have set a good example by self quarantining! So many people listen to you. Thank you for all you do for our very special knitting worlds!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@besscaldwell1830]

If you are healthy enough to continue, knitting a quilt would be a lovely thing to do. However, don’t jeopardize your health. You have made such a difference in the lives of so many people who reside around the world. Arne and Carlos have certainly earned their Angel Wings, 😇😇

[@jillibeens57]

I'm SO happy you're both on the mend. You both are a treasure. I have a chronic lung disease (I'm 63), and my doctor ordered me to self isolate and I've been isolated since February 15th. I have no idea what my city looks like any longer! :) My adult children shop for me and drop it at the door and run! LOLOL I have to say I'm teaching myself how to do stranded knitting and still working on my first bottom up sweater. Thank you for caring so much for other's safety as well as your own.

[@kristinanagy1589]

Dear Arne & Carlos, so good to see you again! I am very glad that you both are ok and that Carlos recovered, thank God! Love you both, we are staying home as I am 8 months pregnant and don't want to get it, knit in my few free hours as we have a 22 months old toddler Willow. Stay safe,lots of love e England.😘😘😘

[@lawrenesolberg6118]

I got it twice Dear Carlos. I don’t live in a country where you can go to hospital. Thank goodness for my Doctor here in Antigua he saved me and treated me from home. Both times a year apart. I am soo happy you are well now.❤️❤️

[@patricialoux5193]

Good to see you back and well again! Your quarantine podcasts were such a big part of my lockdown here in the northeastern US, so I’ve really missed them! We are still staying home as much as possible to avoid getting and spreading the covid infection, wondering when life will be normal again. Thank goodness for knitting and podcasts like yours in times like these!

[@pamelabubeck491]

Lost 6 kilos? Don't worry, Carlos, I found them! Yep, I've gained 12 pounds, and you can have them back anytime you're ready!*!*! So glad you're back on the mend! Hugs!

[@melindabilecki4964]

Yesssss!!!! PLEASE do the blanket!!! Thank you both for all you do and have done!! SOOO happy you're feeling better, Carlos!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@moiraoneill8381]

Complete respect to you both for being so responsible and kind to others ❤️

[@ARNECARLOS]

😀

[@carrietakushi2485]

Welcome back. So glad you are on the mend. I am a nurse, so I am glad to hear you advocating for self isolation, as there are some who are against it. Since I have seen what this virus can do first hand, I will stick with you and error on the side of caution. TY for all you both do!

[@avrilplummer7047]

So lovely to see you both and happy to know you are a lot better. Yes you did what was asked from all of us around the World "stay home, save lives " What a terrible time this is and yes things will get better. You Carlos have been well looked after by Arne. Take care dear friends. A blanket I think would be very nice xxxxxxx

[@kathyclark3376]

I am so grateful you are really on the mend, Carlos. I too prayed for you to be well. As I listen to your experience with the virus I am tearful with gratitude for you two. Please continue to get plenty of rest and take care. We love you and appreciate your kind sharing of time and talents.

[@jodyfrancis4244]

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We're so grateful that you made it through the harrowing health scare, and you're on the mend. I wish folks would take it more serious because its horrendous, and the worst health experience I've ever been through. 🙏 Keep eating those luscious smoothies (made my mouth water!!) and keep up the great healing! Thank goodness you had each other to share in the caregiving. Love and hugs to you all🤗, love to Freja🐶, and take good care. ❤️🙏

[@Elizabeth-foolishmortal]

So good to see you Carlos and Arnd. So happy to have your daily visit. Life is less lonely with you two.

[@auntiejx3]

Welcome back...rest..looking forward not backwards..great idea to do a blanket..or a pillow...so happy life is getting back to “ normal” quarantine knitting workshop

[@mistyblue5312]

The blanket idea is great cos u can make it as big or as small as you want depending on how many patches you make! Thanks for advocating stay home, safe shelter, physical distancing. Wishing you continued strong n full recovery. Blessings n good wishes from Canada. 🤗❤️💐

[@bwktlcn]

Hello from Virginia, where I am sheltering in place with my 81 year old mom. Carlos, please take care and give yourself time to recover. A physician I work with had it, and said she felt like she’d ran a marathon every day for 2 weeks.

[@dorothygriffiths6626]

Ah Arne and Carlos you bought tears to my eyes hearing your story, it really bought home to me what a dreadful disease this virus is, your message was so powerful Carlos. I am so happy that you are both through it. Arne you did an absolutely wonderful job looking after Carlos, great credit to you for everything you did. Please, please Carlos try to get lots of rest, please don’t worry about all of us, we are all happy to wait for you. I worry that you are pushing too hard so just eat, sleep and relax. I said a lot of prayers for you, thankfully, I hope, someone heard and sent special angels to watch over you. Stay safe you are very special friends and I love you both very much. Sending you all my love as always xxxxxx 😘😘❤️❤️🙋🏻🌟🌟💐💐

[@dyannevandenheuvel3511]

Thank you for reinforcing the need to quarantine. Sharing your story right now is a powerful message to those around us who are feeling restless and thinking it is ok to go out now. I am so relieved you are both feeling better. You are much loved.

[@annettederksen4896]

Thanks for sharing Arne your experience with the cornivirus. You are an inspiration to us all. Thanks Carlos for sharing how you sew your afghan together. Was very informative. I didn’t follow along with all the patterns but am thinking I will do this. Having a lot of pain in hands so everything has been on hold for awhile. Sending viral hugs and blessings for a speedy recovery. Keep safe.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We hope your hands will be better soon

[@elizabethc127]

So happy to see you back! Truly love you guys. Thanks for sharing and reinforcing the seriousness of this virus. (Blanket)

[@christinelinn9250]

We have missed you both so much. Great to have you back. Take it easy Carlos. I still have 7 weeks of quarentine to go. You definately had an angel looking after you. You are both amazing. Take care stay safe nice to hear Freja the wee darling. Kram.

[@Myknittingpodcast]

I am so happy you are doing better we all were worried! I am self isolated for very long now together with my family because of bad health .I do everything to keep safe thank you for doing the same ❤️ I started knitting the blocks 2 days ago and from the start I knew I wanted it to be a blanket ! I have enough yarn for a lifetime so keep making those blocks !!! I have 4 blocks so far but I am knitting like a crazy person just to keep sane. And yes I do get up early every morning get dressed make coffee at be as normal as possible. Thank you for being here for us and making us laugh😂Sending love from the Netherlands 🤗🇾🇪Jolanda

[@valeriewoods6754]

Thank goodness you came out the other side of this terrible experience Carlos. I hope you continue to get stronger each day. You've both shown how effective self isolation is. Thank you so much for explaining and being encouraging to others.

[@jodiematte5415]

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I was praying for you both and will continue to pray. On ward!!! Knitting and crocheting!❤

[@sueelphick9060]

Glad you are feeling better Carlos. Lovely to hear we are now to be a continuing community for life !,,, Blanket patches are a great idea 👍. I really look forward to my message popping up to say that there is another video to enjoy . Thankyou and enjoy the spring sunshine xxx 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@susangwerner]

Yes, please do the blanket. I would love that. I’m so happy that you are both in good health.

[@margaretblair9340]

Carlos, I am sooo glad to see you up and sharing. And your broadcast today was not gloomy, but encouraging. Keep drinking fluids and get plenty of rest. Building up your energy is a good thing, and you have a great partner to take care of you. My mother has CHF and I also have 3 diabetics in our home. All older adults, we have been in self-quarantine since the end of February, and don't see an end to it yet. By the way , "they" say if you feed your cravings, you get better quicker. Take care of yourselves,

[@KaringOne2]

Thank you both for sharing your experiences. You have done so much to keep us all informed and sharing your story certainly reinforces the importance of staying in and staying safe. Glad you are feeling better but please ensure you both get your rest. Would be great to see a blanket made from the 96 blocks. Thank you both again. Great to have you back!

[@kathykeller3430]

I am so glad that you are both feeling well and that you are through the worst effects of the virus Carlos. Thank you for sharing your experience, very enlightening. Its effects are so different on so many people, we are on a learning curve with it. And a big thank you for being another pair of influential voices reinforcing the message on how important social distancing is to stopping the spread of the Covid virus. Stay well, take care and I love your floral afghan, it looks like a wonderful piece to snuggle up in.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@garyharvey8697]

Greatly appreciate your advice and experience. You are saving many people. Thank you Arne. Thank you Carlos' guarding angels.

[@suzannegill9233]

So happy you are feeling much better Carlos. Also, good to hear Arne no longer has to play hide and seek on his way to the bins/post. Love the idea of a blanket. I have my Great Grandmother's crochet blankets. As I'm a knitter and not a crocheter I'm going to keep going with the blocks. Thank you so much for the patterns, ideas and your caring about us all xxxx

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@fernhope4686]

Glad to hear you are returning to health and podcasting. I have enjoyed each block and have been waiting for more...so I chose a blanket. Thank you so much for these episodes from Parrsoro, Nova Scotia, Canada

[@curlew-3592]

This isn’t a ‘gloomy’ podcast. It’s a sensible explanation of this awful virus and what it can be to go through it. I can’t begin to tell you how pleased and relieved I am to see you both back. , but Carlos, Do Not overdo it, you have been very ill and it will take a long time for your body to recover. I think I might have told you my son, who is living with us at the moment, works on the Covid ward of a large city hospital and I know how important it is for you to look after yourself, you too Arne, it has been a tiring and worrying time for you. To keep myself occupied I am still knitting those birds 😃 Before long I will have enough to start an aviary 😁. Eat well, rest and enjoy the sunshine.

[@victoriadiane6243]

Not gloomy at all, very positive. Thank you for sharing with us and for caring about your fellow humans so much! 😊 I wish everyone was so conscientious. So glad you survived and are getting healthy again 😉👍 I live in Michigan - U.S. We have the 3rd highest death rate in this country. So so scary. Thanks for your inspiring podcast. I don't knit or crochet but I enjoy watching you both 😁💕 I WOULD love to though, maybe someday! I do quilt so we'll see. Take care fellas 💖

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you! We have made some tutorials on how we do quilting, you find them on our channel site.

[@ChristianeBerghoff]

Thank you both of you for the update and sharing your experience. You are doing a wonderful job and I am glad for to two to be back in good health again! Much love from Cornwall, UK. 💛❤💜💙💚

[@donnafink6262]

You two are the dearest souls. I am so happy that you are both on the mend. It was very touching Carlos when you said you were so glad that both of you had done the voluntary shelter in place and saved others...I was misty eyed at your feelings. I did laugh so hard that if the virus doesn't kill me your cooking will... I was touched by the loving care your smoothie maker gave you during this stressful time. Take good care

[@vitalsparkmassage]

It's so great to see you both again. I have really missed you two. I am glad you are improving Carlos, even though it's slow progress. Arne sounds like he has been great comfort for you, even if he's not the best cook. Take it slowly & allow your body time to recover. All the best x

[@elisareynozo9510]

Thank you for the informative video. You really shared so much with us and shared the importance of staying home while this pandemic is spreading around the world. Yes, I think your angels were watching you Carlos and I am very happy to hear you are on the mend. It sounds like Arne was a good caretaker and he has such an angelic face! 😉 I hope both of you have a celebratory dinner after your recovery. God Bless both of you and it makes my heart happy again to see you both! ❤️🙏

[@heatherwebb2050]

So pleased to see you both back and well. Glad you are feeling better Carlos, such a worrying time for you both. Glad you had Arne to look after you. Take care.

[@deborarice594]

Dear Arne and Carlos, many thanks for the frank discussion of COVid. This was not gloomy, but real. As a retired RN it was refreshing to hear your candor. This KAL has lifted spirits around the world & created friendships. Please gently rest and care for yourselves. We've also been in self isolation since March 14 at our mountain cabin. Will start some seeds today. A blanket would be grand too. With love from Utah!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@ilsesantodonato1334]

Hello from Long Island, NY. So happy to see you again.🐑🐑🐑

[@bagladysendtheferalspinner3761]

Hi Arne and Carlos, I’m so glad you are back! Cheers, Laura

[@janenielsen809]

It's so wonderful to see you both again. I'm so happy that you are virus free again Carlos, and with Arne's wonderful care you'll soon get your strength and energy back :-) thank you for sharing your story with us so openly :-) yes please do a blanket, I was planning on doing a blanket and just repeat the blocks you made, but having even more different patterns will make it look even better :-) and maybe Arne can show us how he makes those delicious mango smoothies in a video :-) thank you for all you do :-)

[@joycezzz100]

Good day, so very happy indeed that you are back in good spirits. Please start knitting the blanket.

[@ginnybohannan4431]

Let’s do a blanket,! I love this and thanks for everything

[@newmoonjlp]

So glad you're better. What a travail! I'm not sure how long it would take new to complete one, but I'd love to see all the lovely blocks turned into a blanket! Keep well and keep resting!

[@valeriecasse1207]

Really appreciate that you take the time to explain and demonstrate many things for us to learn and understand. Arne thank you for your time. Carlos, get well sooooon and fasssst!

[@jenntaa]

I'm so happy to see your lovely faces again xxx Thank God you came through this x🌼🌺🌼🌺

[@bethlove6339]

So glad you are well!!!! Happy you are back. Thanks!!! More squares and a blanket sound good.

[@barbarawest1205]

Although I was horrified to hear what you have been through, for me this was far from gloomy because you are both still with us! Thank you for being so straightforward and for urging continued caution. In my country there are far too many people who are impatient for life to return to "normal" and I'm afraid that if we yield to pressure the consequences will be dire. I hope you both continue to feel better and that your spirits rise with ech day.

[@lindawellinghoff5432]

Thanks for the update. Glad you are better. Looking forward to tomorrow. A blanket would be great. Thanks again

[@rivers.stream]

Carlos and Arne thank you for sharing your story with us. Carlos you were so brave thru your experience. I am happy that Arne was well enough to help you thru this scary illness. I send you both so many hugs. You both feel like family to me...... Is that creepy? Oh well..... So much well wishes to you both. Please rest and take care of yourselves.... you make so many folks feel so happy. Love you both♥♥♥🌼🌼🌼🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@clairehampton986]

You are both looking so well, that's wonderful to see. We are under Stay-at-Home in Ohio and virtually everyone is wearing a face mask while grocery shopping. We also have plexiglass at checkouts, floors are taped so people stay 6 feet apart, some stores have one way aisles, employees are wearing masks and gloves. You are so right. This isn't something to take lightly. Stay safe and healthy.

[@lindawilson8434]

Thank you for expressing the seriousness of this illness something our government is not The daily totals are unbelievable and over 230,000 deaths Herd immunity are they nuts Thank you again I enjoy both of you

[@catharinakanninga-degraaf3575]

I'm so happy too see you both again. What a story, becoming so sick. Glad it's going the good way with getting better again. I'm very happy getting the opportunity too make a blanket whit your block. Thank you very much for that. Also thanks for the podcast, love it. Warm greetings from me living in the Netherlands and not so good Whit the English language. 😘

[@dianatheriault2913]

So glad you are both well...AND Arne did all the cooking??? Well done Arne!

[@karenkreig4701]

So good to see you both together again and feeling better. Still praying for a full recovery. Glad you are keeping the Facebook page,I really enjoy it.

[@muhlenstedt]

This video was very touching.It is wonderful that you both are healthy again! Thank you for beeing a great example and encoraging people to keep on with the social isolation!

[@kellydavis2608]

so glad that you to are feeling better!!! I live in usa in Michigan it is really scary here how many have died. I have only gone out to grocery shop. My husband passed away two yrs ago from cancer, I am now dating a great man and scared everyday he will get sick and not be here too. Knitting and dyeing yarn is keeping me busy. Again I thank God that you are both healthly. Hear you were sick said prayers every night for you. Hope to see you again tomorrow now go rest and lay in the sun get your streaght back in time. Your knitting friend Kelly davis

[@mrsmac5196]

Thank you for sharing your story and encouraging social distancing. So glad and relieved you're up and about.

[@IrishMist640]

What a harrowing experience. Thank goodness you're doing better, Carlos. It was very responsible and thoughtful of you both to self-quarantine, so thank you. So nice to see your smiling faces again.

[@barbaravickers2103]

I am so happy and relieved that you are both well again! Carlos you may have dropped 2ks but you are still as handsome as ever! And Arne, you have taken wonderful care of you both. Stay well!

[@gjmiller138]

I missed the video that you were sick Carlos, it much have been terrible but I am thrilled to hear you are in the ment and you look much better. So nice of you Arne to make soup for Carlos. Anyway, so very happy to see you both looking healthy. Take it slow for awhile Carlos. Without our health where would we be.

[@kathygoodman6159]

I'm so glad that you're better, guys! Please do the blanket. I'm so excited about this being a blanket, I've been wanting to knit a blanket for a long time now. I'm also going to crochet your new blanket, I bought the pattern yesterday. I just wish that I had a stash of worsted wool, I have to buy the yarn. Carlos, I hope you continue to recover so that you aren't so tired. I know how miserable that is.

[@margotchamberlin4364]

What an ordeal you both have been through! I think you have done a great service by sharing your story with thankfully a happy ending. Your quarantine podcast has been a real joy during this crazy time. Please consider the original plan of the squares becoming a pillow rather than a blanket. I could not possibly knit enough squares for a blanket ( particularly since I have started one of your pillow patterns from Rowan). Take good care, rest and get well soon.

[@CathyJames-b8z]

Yup I had it for 10days here in nz. I too thought I was gunna die. I was tired for a few mths afterwards. Thank you for sharing. I love watching u guys. ❤❤

[@lauralea86]

Thank you for sharing your COVID journey. I got it first and like you I was just sure I had begun with allergy symptoms. Then my test came back positive. About a week later my husband began to get sick. He is having an extremely high fever, no appetite, and fatigue. He has now been sick for over a week and like Arne, I am really worried and stressed. Sharing your journey has given me hope. Take care.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Hi Laura, we hope your husband is getting better and that you are able to relax a bit more. We wish you all the best during this difficult time.

[@lauralea86]

Thank you so much. Your videos have been keeping me company. I love your interaction with each other.

[@Memillerwright]

Banana porridge? I would love to see you make this. 3 kids love bananas. I am so glad that you both are feeling better. Love listening to you both...you both have such joy in your voices. Continue taking care of yourselves.

[@elizabethwhite7190]

I'm so glad you are both recovered. I had it too, similar to Carlos' experience. I'll be glad when this is behind us

[@bonnieharris1811]

Thank you for sharing your COVID journey with us. You are both so well loved by many - and we were all worried about you. We appreciate the time you took to tell us what happened. God bless you both, Bonnie Harris, Pasco WA, USA

[@duncancmd]

So happy you are on the road to recovery Carlos. I am sure each day you will feel stronger. Thank you for sharing your experience as it will hopefully influence others to do the right thing and follow their government's recommendations.

[@genedwards1]

Thanks so much, Arne and Carlos, for treating your readers like family and giving us the details of your experience with the COVID-19 virus. It really, really helps to hear what it felt like, for each of you. You also inspire us to keep on keeping on with our social distanceing. Meanwhile, I'm on Patch 7 of 9 (with maybe some borders of Pothos vines to make my pillow top fill the pillow form I already have). I plan to knit a back from one of your new cushion patterns - knit that in the round and steek it. So no, I'm not going for a 96 block blanket! One of the things slowing me down from this Quaratine KAL project is knitting a "Saave 2.0" Teddy Bear out of your Favorites book, using your sock yarn in the Gargia Masi colorway. My granddaughter requested this. I am trying to get it done before her May 1st birthday, when she will turn 4. I would so love it if you would say the name Saave in Norwegian on your podcast! I can't even type it correctly, with the a with a little superscript o above it. Anyway, THANKS! Both your podcasts and your patterns are a comfort in these uneasy times.

[@laurabuche5191]

Thank you for sharing your story and I'm very happy that the both of you are well. Take care of yourselves and enjoy the Norwegian spring 🥰

[@susanabradbury]

Much respect to you two. Glad to hear you are on the mend. Take your time and get back to 100% 💜

[@beckygwinn2107]

So glad you are both feeling better. Continued well wishes to you both. Covid-19 is a scary thing. Thank you for sharing your stories and for advocating social distancing.

[@shirleybeard2318]

You make such a strong case for people to take responsibility and follow the health advisories of staying home and hand washing. There is still so much to be learned about the virus and individuals’ response that we must remain diligent. Your podcasts and your messaging are doing an incredible public service. We are so thankful that you are recovering, Carlos and you have the loving care that Arne gives. We appreciate your angels.

[@barbarasinclair8508]

Oh Carlos I am so sorry to hear what you have been through so happy that you are getting better. Arne so pleased you are going well too. Take care love to you both x

[@kathydesroches1001]

Thank you for sharing. I’m glad you’re both well. I can’t imagine how frightening it must have been to be sick and to watch the man you love be so sick. It was was interesting to hear how much the world has changed in the last month. It must have been shocking, it’s shocking for us and we’ve watched it happen. I’ve really enjoyed the knit along and the knit group, it’s the only Facebook page I find myself visiting because everyone is so supportive and kind. If you’re up for a blanket, count me in.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad you have been enjoying it!
