Very much looking forward to touring a Norwegian supermarket! Enjoy your summer 😊

I started watching your channel during pandemic. Can't believe it's been 4 years. It helped me immensely to get out of my own head and it was something I loved to watch daily instead of watching the news and seeing all that was going on in the world. I don't even knit! I do crochet though. But it was your realness and your creativity and joy of life even during the pandemic and now that keeps me watching and made me decide to become a member. Yours is the only channel I am a member of on RU-vid! Love you both.

Our middle school (grades 5-8) principal was known for wearing a tie every day. He had many designs and had many ties for every holiday. When he retired his wife gave a quilt maker many of his ties to make a quilt for him.

@michelemurnane2834 3 месяца назад

Like crazy quilts. Tie fabric works well in crazy quilts.

@kathleenallan321 3 месяца назад

I was riveted while listening! And I agree with others about the Pandemic days. 4 years...unreal. Have a wonderful vacation. You have earned it.

@inezwalsh2584 3 месяца назад

I found Kate when I had Covid and she talked about you,so looked you up and so so happy I did…I also watch Ant’s country living ,he’s Kate’s friend who is building her cabin…Arne will enjoy his woodwork…

@barbharrington2903 3 месяца назад

Carlos your hair looks great! Hello from Wisconsin….all is well here weather wise. Our prayer shawl group bought 300 dollars of yarn on sale this week. I’m trying to figure out where to put it. Steady group of knitters and crocheters. You both look healthy. I gave up caffeine three days ago and I feel so much better. Plenty of herbal teas out there. I need a vacation. If I go to Dollywood I promise to somehow text about it. If I see Dolly I will get her autograph for you! 😊❤

@laurieklem7051 3 месяца назад

So when you do your catch-up 15 min this week - talk about the loufoten cottage you said you sold?! And curious about your wines - when will we see them in New York?!

That’s how my gran and mom made quilts from used clothes….i still have some and when a hole came in them they were patched…resy

Recycle is not new here…

@inezwalsh2584 3 месяца назад

Arne will cut your ties Carlos if he needs the color ha ha ha

@maggiehagman3113 3 месяца назад

Couple of comments about using ties. There is a great book called Daddy’s Ties. A lot of tips on using ties in quilting. You can get them used. Also, please make sure the tie fabric is colorfast before you put in a quilt. They can bleed pretty significantly.

@rnchimilar 3 месяца назад

Love the idea of recycled fabrics for a patchwork. Little worried about fraying,,so it will be interesting how to tackle this. You both looked so smart in your tuxedos.

@annmcg9781 3 месяца назад

Hello Arne & Carlos! I have a question for you. I’m lucky enough to be on your Knitting Under The Northern Lights cruise in February 2025. Will you give us an idea of what size knitting needles to bring with us for the Mystery Knit-Along? I don’t have an interchangeable set. I’d like to try the Prym knitting needles and am wondering if they are easy to find in Norway? Guess that’s two questions…. Many thanks!

@timothybeard2671 3 месяца назад

On the two cruises I was on with them the needles were included with the yarn and pattern. Only the knitting notions that you like to use might be needed. Have a lovely time. And don’t forget to leave space in your suitcase for the new yarn that you will want to buy. Shirley

@annmcg9781 3 месяца назад

Thanks so much Shirley!

@maryannharlow5172 3 месяца назад

It will be fun to watch your new quilt project. Making triangles out of fabric on the bias sounds like a challenge. I watch the youtube program called the catbird quilts. She uses mens shirts and has many videos about how to determine how much fabric you can get out of different size shirts. Keep up the good work

@grwhryrpltd 3 месяца назад

Here it is June and I found myself smiling at your mention of working on your upcoming Christmas designs, both for the knit balls and your new line of fabrics! I will patiently await both! Glad to hear you have some music to get you into the holiday spirit... I wonder if you have Willie "Smokey" Nelson's first Christmas album from 1979 called Pretty Paper...? Totally up your alley. Please do try to acquire it and pass the champagne when you do! Cheers and happy summer 🤠🎄🍾🥂

My daughters partner is the PRinter at ADAMLEYS the last silk printing factory in uk..it has a wonderful archive of wooden Blocks for hand block printing. It prints silk for Saville row and liberty...in macclesfield which it part of the silk triangle of macclesfield, Leek and Congleton...macclesfidd has paradise mill fab museum which has all the jackard looms for weaving silk Leek is where wlliam morris went to his friend thomas wardle who discovered how to dye tussah silk in raven black...was not done well before ...also using organic dyes for morris fabric. Amazing history

@judymarkel8029 3 месяца назад

I was looking for crazy patch work quilting and saw a video from you. I have been watching you since then

@cristinaslaughter6025 3 месяца назад

❤ The hexagons are lovely! I would wear the ties, with a loose knot, with my linen shirt as necklace alternative! In art school, we start printmaking with woodblocks and once mastered, we go into linocut - they require such skill! - then etching/aquatints and lithography. Arne, you might enjoy collagraphy! I am very much looking forward to a trip to the grocery store! 🛒 Happy Sunday! ❤

@annesmith3352 3 месяца назад

You guys are amazing and absolutely interesting with everything you do! I mentioned you too friend saying how you like Farrow & Ball and Little Green paint! And you like William Morris fabric etc! Thank you as always! Xx 😘

I discovered you when you designed those exquisite knitted Birds!! I loved them, so much❤!! I'd love to go on a cruise in Norway!! I saw the English lady who makes quilts had gone on the trip with you, and shared video, and pictures! I loved the grocery stores in Sweden and Norway! Especially the cheese, and chocolates!!

@inezwalsh2584 3 месяца назад

Love the log cabin quilt ,the first quilt I ever made was the log cabin….

@foleyjp1 3 месяца назад

Wonderful episode - so many topics! I am excited to see the supermarket episode. That should be very educational to see staple products from a different part of the world. Traditionally, the Log Cabin block had a solid red or yellow center for the strips to travel around. The center was the fire hearth in the center of the cabin. The light side was the side that was lit by the fire to represent the common part of the cabin (the kitchen, the living room) and the dark side was the sleeping area and was behind the fire.

I love the log cabin idea. I have a silk Tie collection also. It’s a bit tricky because ties are generally cut on the bias of fabric.

@barbarakb8847 3 месяца назад

Another wonderful episode! Arne and Carlos, you are the most GENUINE superstars, and I am so blessed to know you. Your discussion about the Tie Quilt was a mini-design course. I just love to learn from you, and I hope I can attend one of your workshops someday. Wishing you a restful and inspirational summer as you prepare for another creative year. I have learned so much from you both and am looking forward to the 2024-2025 season. 🌞🌻🌞

@WinkyGirls Месяц назад

Standing and ironing fabric (for sewing a legging) for this sit and knit 😉 Can recommend the regular cruise! I met some nice people there, including Arne and Carlos 😅, still in contact with 2 of them, even visited one last year. And even my boyfriend enjoyed it a lot, without any knitting though. But he did take pictures of the northern lights (we were the lucky bastards that got to see it 5(?) nights in a row) and do something on his laptop 😊 Urke was a really small town just one supermarket (no yarn) but we reminisce about it and dream of relocating there and enjoy the nature and quiet... 👋 Oh and the Trollfjord 😍⛰️

@ARNECARLOS Месяц назад

We are so glad that you two enjoyed it😍

@patp2573 3 месяца назад

With your love of Dolly Parton : On the American Voice, the trio Chapel Hart sang a tribute to Dolly based on 'Jolene' called 'You Can Have Him Jolene' . Dolly Parton messaged them "What a fun new take on my song". You might like to view it on youtube. I just listened to Mari Boine Mu eadni, it is so beautiful.

@ARNECARLOS 3 месяца назад

We are glad you enjoyed her music!

@suznwayment7053 3 месяца назад

You guys inspire me so much! I loved you way before the pandemic, but I must say you made it so much better. The knitted squares kept me so busy I didn’t think so much about isolation. I still knit squares and Christmas balls all the time. Thanks so much for sharing your lives with us.❤️

@ARNECARLOS 3 месяца назад

Thank you so much, and we are glad you are still following our channel!

@michelemurnane2834 3 месяца назад

The cruises are so much fun. Arne taught me how to make the Christmas balls and do color work. Plus the other knitters are always willing to help. So much fun. Take one of their cruises.

@fionad9913 3 месяца назад

I emailed J** Fabrics with a suggestion they carry the new Lewis and Irene collection. Imagine my confusion when I got a reply from "Carlos A"! Just a coincidence I guess!

I don’t know how you guys do it but you really sold me on the Beyoncé album. I don’t think you could have paid me a million dollars to listen to Beyoncé before, but that album is really good; and a rare one where I can listen to almost every track. Also thank you for introducing us to Kari Bremnes & Mari Boine. I checked them out briefly, added them to my Apple Music library and will be listening to them at work today.

@ARNECARLOS 3 месяца назад

I have used ties many times,wash them 1st to make sure they can handle it, then fuse to a lite weight pellon, use a good 1/4 " seam because they fray quite a bit. Love you guys. Tell Arne that Lodge has an iron skillet with Dolly on it....

@Eva-y1y 3 месяца назад

I had a friend who made a Dresden Plate quilt from the shorter ends of ties. Mainly purchased from what we call here in Australia as charity shops and then when friends found out she was donated lots more. ended up making about three quilts in total and donated one to be raffled to raise funds for charity. Love that someone else is doing a similar project. Will watch with interest on your progress.

I’m late to watch this one, but so glad I did! Thank you for the vinyl episode! So excited to check out the beautiful music recommendations - I learned about Kim Rysstad from your Setesdal series a few years ago, and I’m sure I’ll love these just as much. As a fellow American country music fan, I was blown away by Beyonce’s “Joleen” cover on American Requiem - and her “Blackbird” is superb as well (some trivia - the guitar accompaniment on her cover is Paul’s original master, which is the first time he has allowed it to be resampled in any version other than the Beatles’. Its an awesome rendition of an awesome song). Thanks as ever for your podcast and work in the world!
