[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching!

[@lisagimblett8646]

I love the Icelander sweater! I would love to knit it for my husband. He works on freighters on the Great Lakes in Canada and it can get very cold in the fall. Arne... great choice with that sweater, it looks fantastic on you

[@dottierobbins6507]

Yes, but the sweater. Love you guys so much. Your love of knitting is fantastic

[@ARNECARLOS]

💖

[@ARNECARLOS]

Good!

[@Knit2stitching]

Arne, you “crack me up” lol! I love the red sweater. It’s beautiful. Both sweaters remind me of the hounds tooth print. I’m so glad y’all have taken us to Lofoten.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome, thank you for coming along.

[@cor-z8m]

Beautiful work! Thank you for taking us with you! This is the only “traveling” available to us this year! Enjoy! Hello from Canada🇨🇦

[@shirleyhanson6132]

And the USA, too!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Happy travels!

[@ebradley2306]

Just have to say your white with black sweater presented in this video is one of the most beautiful, cushy, comfortable looing sweaters I have ever seen. The simplicity of the pattern is striking. The red sweater on Arne looks great. Cheers

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@marynimocks6791]

I LOVE this pattern!

[@lindachism7775]

Oh wow, the red sweater is wonderful. It looks great. Good choice.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@lynneguzha9051]

Love the sweater and hat. ❤

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@roseprincess2155]

I looked up why houses are built on stilts in Lofoten Islands. It's to keep the permafrost from thawing, so the house won't sink! You guys are teaching me more than knitting and crochet!

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad we sparked some interest!

[@savvy2172]

Glad you bought that jumper 🤗

[@ARNECARLOS]

So are we!

[@cindybutler9312]

Lovely! You’re giving me great travel vibes from home ❤️

[@ARNECARLOS]

We all need a bit of escapism!

[@maureencullen5649]

Hi Arne and Carlos, I had to put my little girl down yesterday she was a older rescue that I only had for four years. So you can imagine how sad I am today, thank you for this podcast you both actually made me laugh tonight! Have fun and stay safe!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Hi Maureen, we are so sorry for your loss. Stay safe!

[@lindascott1294]

Love the sweater purchase❤ looks great on you as well!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@eirishemd]

So interesting! The red sweater was gorgeous and your sweater was stunning as well. Scenery looked amazing through the window. Hugs

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@borbalabuzas3394]

"admit it, we're lazy" "well, sometimes we're looking for tomorrow's vintage sweaters"😂 jokes aside I supported a fellow knitter by buying socks from her even though I knit plenty of socks (but somehow they always end up on someone else's feet😁). If you can, help your friends and small businesses in these rough times. fantastic video again, and shout-out to Erik because the lights in this video are incredible!✨

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thanks for your lovely comment!

[@donnatappan4087]

Beautiful view from the window..the sweaters were beautiful also. TY

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Donna!

[@jackieritchie7488]

Glad you bought the sweater. It’s beautiful.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@arlettem.garcia6831]

Wow!! Everything about this video is great: the sweaters, the hats, the setting, the lighting, the store - fantastic😀

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Arlette!

[@nanrussell6423]

I want to try knitting the black with white hat, although I will use navy blue instead of black. I'm just starting to practice knitting the Norwegian way but have have not tried to purl yet. Arne, you have to bring tha yarn forward between the needles to the front of the work before throwing a purl stitch then bring the yarn to the back again before making a knit stitch. That is why "throwing" takes so much longer than "picking." Ribbing takes forever when throwing! Thanks Carlos and Arne.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome Nan, keep up the good work!

[@crystalwright1504]

I'm glad to see that you're enjoying your trip!! What a wonderful adventure. Am I the only one who things that Arne is just too adorable for words. ..?

[@ARNECARLOS]

😀

[@palmocorbus9839]

This is a really neat series. I hope you continue someday.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@valeriecarr6116]

You guys are the best! Thank you for taking us along on your vacation. So fun to see your beautiful country.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome and thank you for joining us!

[@annjohnson8544]

I had also read that it was/is a pattern from the Faroe Islands. My father had one of the black and white sweaters that he always wore skiing, and the I “stole” it as a teenager and wore it skiing as well. I was obsessed with that sweater, I think because it was so very cozy, basically double knit and the rustic wool had slightly felted over the years. I wish I still had it but sadly I got rid of it many years ago. This one had more of a boat neck, like the old Skyr sweaters.

[@rosalbazunigaescalante1666]

Hola muy bonita combinación del suéter que compraron, y me encanta toda la historia que nos cuentan . Gracias 👏👏👏

[@suecallen2160]

Just received my large bone binding needle from Lofoten Wool. I was so inspired when you visited. It will be a pendant for my grown daughter's birthday. I may try i-cord with fine wool and small needles for it. You always inspire!

[@ulli4303]

... And I have thank you both-you helped me a lot with your prym crochet needle recommendation. I suffer from me cfs and fibtomyalgia. Those needles make crocheting so much better for me which is very important since I could not live without my craft. Thank you so much!!!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad to hear that and that you can continue crafting!

[@77sun222]

Hi ArneCarlos Love the red sweater Arne purchased. The patterned hats and jumper is superb. Thank you.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome Sharon!

[@pattyb2294]

Love the hat!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@veronicagarcia7204]

🌹 I enjoy your videos so much because you tell stories. Have you ever given thought about writing a book? Maybe talking about your journey with the fiber arts. You have so many interesting, unique and precious stories about your makes and when you spoke about working with the Queen, I was so intrigued. 🌹 thank you so very much for being a part of our lives 😍

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thanks for your lovely comment! 🙏

[@amcclellan509]

Yes, please publish that pattern. It’s beautiful!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@gingermolinero8386]

The sweater looks great on Arne. I am being spoiled by your vacation videos. They are transporting me away from my self quarantine isolation to a beautiful country with friends. Thank you both

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome, glad to be a window to the world.

[@KaringOne]

Thanks for sharing your inspiration story and the beautiful scenery. I agree with Erik, it was great to see you sitting across from each other and able to interact effortlessly. Well done Arne for purchasing the red sweater. It is a great colour on you. Carlos, you are next to make a purchase or two. I would be very interested in purchasing a pattern for your sweater. Thanks again for another great video.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@jamesblanton5600]

Anything red...is great...Deb

[@ARNECARLOS]

Beautiful colour.

[@qiviutqueen5705]

What a lovely pattern. I just purchased it & its already on my Christmas Gift knit list 2020. Will knit several for the guy's on my list.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Lucky guys

[@Heatheronskates]

I am going back to watch this series again, this time I am going to focus on the scenery. Love the sweater. I will have to learn how to pearl in the Norwegian way.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You should give it a try!

[@patmiller7272]

Love it...buy it!

[@ARNECARLOS]

😀

[@momgrandma5496]

So glad a bird didn’t peck at the window and freak you out Carlos. Will be needing a nice sweater for winter, the pattern in the hat, I can see it. Oh yes, the red sweater put a huge smile on Arne’s face. No putting a price on happiness. Happy travels to you.

[@ARNECARLOS]

There is no price on happiness!

[@k.leetalon742]

For a second there i thought you guys were going to tell us how you met. No matter - I can feel the love between the two of you and Freja!

[@ARNECARLOS]

😀

[@joannenikkila5723]

I actually love both sweaters, the one Arne purchased, the red sweater, as well as the black and white one with the hat.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Yes, they are both very beautiful! Sadly, the Islander sweater in black and white was only available in XXL, so it was too big. If they would have had it in M or L we would have bought it also!

[@LeenaCreations]

Hlo friends u both r such a great knitter. I am from India🇮🇳 you r just amazing. I watch your all videos. They r full of knowledge. I learnt many things to them. Thanks for🙏💕 everything. 🤗🤗💕💕💕👍👍👍

[@ARNECARLOS]

Hi! We are glad to hear that you find our videos useful!

[@carolinegetman2720]

All I can say is I love you two. ❤️. You put a smile on my face every time I watch your videos! Love those sweaters too❤️❤️❤️.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Caroline!

[@egsuperduty]

I was just telling my husband that I like utilitarian boats, then I saw this video loving the pattern and thinking I really do love the utilitarian look I guess. Absolutely beautiful pattern.

[@sandiemable]

Love this! I have to make both the hat & sweater. They will make a nice gift for my best friend's grandson.

[@ARNECARLOS]

That is a lucky grandson!

[@sandiemable]

@@ARNECARLOS Indeed! I have to live my gramma years through my friend's grandson until my son makes me a gramma. I could not find pairfect in stores around me so I ordered 4 skeins online from Laughing Hens in the UK and it's here!! Never made socks so cross your fingers that I get them done for Christmas. :)

[@sarahlauwerijssen9531]

Well i love all you designs❤️

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Sarah!

[@olgareads9107]

Love that sweater and it looks great on you Arne. Really enjoying this vacation with you. Thanks for taking us all along! The scenery is gorgeous.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome, thank you for joining us Olga!

[@constanzehancock8667]

I also purchased yarn from the happy sheep. Can’t wait to get it. I am also putting Lofoten on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing. Glad to know you are better Carlos.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for supporting Lofoten wool!

[@LauraGarcia-kn6jk]

So lovely to see you both so relaxed! Probably because Erik was there and you didn't need to worry about the filming. Gorgeous hats and sweaters! I will give a try to knit the hat, but I readily admit to being lazy and doubt I would ever knit a sweater. Much easier to buy beautiful sweaters second hand! I look forward to your next episode.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Yes, we are glad that Erik is back!

[@susanperkins9125]

Beautiful sweaters and hats! Love the scenery... thanks for sharing your trip with us!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Its a beautiful sweater love the farm history ....grew up on a dairy farm in the Catskills mountains of New York.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

Great sweater color for Christmas...red.

[@ARNECARLOS]

That is true.

[@donnafink6262]

Love the sweater! The story you told about the original sweater and hat inspiration was very sweet.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Donna!

[@pennypark9070]

It’s so lovely to follow you on your travels. I’m really enjoying myself! Plus you both look so well. 👋

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Penny, we are better now!

[@stitchersdelight]

Such lovely scenery, fun watching the Gulls fly by the window while you were talking. Arne, you forgot to bring the wool forward first before purling while throwing so they came out as a yarn over. So much easier the way you showed, thank you for sharing this beautiful part of Norway with us !

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@dagmarcornand5363]

Hello Arne and Carlos, thank you for the story about your visit to Los Angeles and talking about not being able to figure out why the lovely IJslander would be worn in California… maybe I have the answer to this puzzle…. Lake Tahoe ski resort visitors would have an opportunity to wear it there in the winter. again Happy New Year to both of you!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@kathyclark3376]

Such a beautiful episode! I love the history you give along with the designs. You two are amazing. Thank you for sharing.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching!

[@qiviutqueen5705]

Great tutorial too....Thanks !

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@cathybilodeau5759]

I love those sweaters - would love an updated pattern. plan to make the hat too

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Cathy, good luck with your knitting.

[@retouching]

I LOVE this sweater!! I first saw it and fell in love with it on Arne & Carlos’s video of making the Christmas star decoration ‘sit and knit for a bit with Arne & Carlos: first advent special’. It looks so flattering on Carlos, it beautiful! So it’s funny when he was talking about the reaction from other Norwegians about that model☺ but of course I’m not from norway so I don’t have the association thankfully😁. And I just searched the design they created based on this one and it’s also beautiful, these along with the ‘Vegard’ sweater & ‘Heine’ hat! and the “Jens’ and ‘Vidar’ sweaters, some of the best patterns ever!❤

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@TheRebs7]

That's a lovely sweater you bought, Arne. It took me straight away to those 1950's illustrated skiing posters. It's so nice when these designs come round again with a modernised fit.

[@silvershadow013]

Yes, Arne the sweater looks great on you! The area is beautiful too! That kind of knitting is way beyond my skill set but is gorgeous! Arne you make it look so easy....😊

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@marthamckeon278]

What a handsome sweater! This is one of my most favorite episodes - your sweater inspiration is not unlike what CoCo Chanel did - taking inspiration from everyday working people - like her use of jersey and stripes from the fishermen is one example. The beanie is also fabulous! I would love to see more of these types of videos, with you guys explaining your inspiration/design process - what a joy to watch, thanks so much!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching Martha!

[@dianah2739]

What fun! You guys are great! Love the red sweater! Safe travelling!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@ckmcdade]

Yes! Please publish a pattern for the black and white sweater. Also, take us shopping with you! ❤️

[@ARNECARLOS]

We will!

[@dyee185]

Love hearing stories about the fashions and traditions and how they inspire you - thanks (as always) for sharing! ❤️

[@darlarumelhart5272]

Love it,, from leave it to Beaver..

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@sandimichaels2324]

Hello Arne and Carlos. I love, love the Icelander sweater and hat. I want the pattern so I can make one for both of my boys for XMas for next year. I am a slow knitter. Hi Eric welcome back. Doing good. Love the across from each other best. I am enjoying the sea gulls flying by the window. Let me know when the pattern comes out so I can get it. Thank you so much.

[@ARNECARLOS]

The pattern for the hat is available now at www.arnecarlos.com There is currently no pattern for the sweater that we designed 13 years ago.

[@mckoy59]

Dear Arne and Carlos. Thank you for your wonderful holidays series, I am really enjoying the beauty of Norway. I would love hou to publish a new pattern for the Icelander sweater as I am sure a new audience of knitters for this pattern has opened up since you first designed it 13 years ago.

[@judydickens1916]

I love your relaxed style.. and of course the background.. where you are .. Lofoten.. beautiful. Your relaxed way.. is good medicine.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Relaxing is important!

[@vivianpowell1732]

Both of you looked fantastic in the sweaters you modeled for us today. Carlos in the black & white Icelander, and Arne in the beautiful red sweater he purchased. I look forward to watching this relaxing episode again tonight, with a hot cup of tea. Tusen takk.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Enjoy your tea!
