    I thought of you both yesterday when I was in a second hand store. I found and bought a Norwegian Sedestal sweater! It was in perfect condition. I couldn't believe my good fortune! Thank you as always for brightening my day.

    Dear Arne and Carlos, I am knitting a hat while I listen. I want to THANK YOU for role modeling (in a fun way) shopping in Thrift Stores. I also am a thrift store shopper, and love the idea of recycling and repurposing items, instead of always buying new merchandise. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

    You guys are so fun together!! I agree with Arne, Carlos! It only counts if you're together, because the premise was Arne was with you in the lagoon. I am tickled watching the little gifts, the reasons behind them!,❄️☃️🎄❄️🦌🦌🦌🦌🛷🎅🤶🎁

    Arne!!!!! Don’t let Carlos cheat on the lagoon deal!😂❤️

  • @RosannaRiondato
    @RosannaRiondato 3 года назад +1

    I think Lagoongate will be shrouded in mystery as far as the number of hours spent. Arne could not possibly have accompanied Carlos on his Christmas shopping, hence giving Carlos quite a bit of an advantage in his argumentation. Nice strategy, Carlos! 😅
    Anyway, all this makes for a lot of fun. And the cookie cutter in the shape of a bear is just adorable.
    I love the thought and time put into each one of these little gifts. It is such a treat to tune in each day and see what the next day (or sweater) brings. 🥰

    I finally bought the sweater patterns this week. I need to make 3 sets for my grandchildren - for next year - that means about 1.3 per week to have them all done if I don't start until January! I hope I can finish them by then. I am so enjoying watching the 2 of you every day. Thank You.

    Carlos I am so proud of you shopping for Arne in the thrift stores. That is so sweet. You have found him some really nice mementos. And Arne you are so very thoughtful in your gifts to Carlos too. Both of you know each other so well you can really pick out lovely thoughtful gifts. This has been so much fun to watch. I plan to knit the sweaters next year so that my husband and I can do that too. He is NOT a shopper so it will be interesting to see what he comes up with. One year he gave me a package of Oreo cookies for my birthday. Well, yes dear I do love cookies.

    I love today's sweater (jumper) pattern with the little hearts. Years ago I learned that hearts are popular designs at Christmas in the Scandinavian countries. I have made woven heart ornaments out of construction paper (two colors per heart) some years at Christmas.

  • @deborahhuss9579
    @deborahhuss9579 3 года назад

    Thrift stores aren't so bad Carlos, after all look at all the nice presents you have found for Arne. I think you will be caught up on your hours by Christmas. I didn't get to knit the Christmas sweaters this year but have all the Christmas balls from last year hanging around the house. I think I will start the sweaters now for next year. Watching your podcast each day with a cup of tea allows me to slow down and appreciate all my blessings. You two are a daily blessing for me. See you tomorrow!

  • @pattiwankenobi
    @pattiwankenobi 3 года назад

    I don’t think thrift shopping by yourself counts as hours off… I think it has to be with Arne. He has the black belt in shopping, after all. 😉 I love the colors on your sweater, Carlos! 😍 Glad to see you both today. We’re in double digits now! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

  • @trulee663

He waits in the car while I go in. lol! Today's sweater and ball with the hearts are so pretty. Thank you for sharing.

  • @lorrainewelsh8670
    @lorrainewelsh8670 3 года назад +1

    I love the teddy bear cutter 💕 , I received a set of teddy cutters when my son was young and I made him a birthday gingerbread house with 3 bears 🐻🐻🐻 hiding inside for his third birthday, just like in the story of Goldilocks. I have various sized cutters so I can make Mummy Bear, Daddy Bear and little Baby Bear. We continue the tradition with out Christmas gingerbread house each year.
    Perhaps next year Arne will have teddy bear biscuits to put in the box along with the tasty ones you've shown us during advent.

    Another lovely jumper, Christmas ball, and gift. ❤️ This is all so much fun. I am knitting a few jumpers this year and will continue to add to my set in coming years. Color knitting is great practice in Continental style as it necessitates holding one color yarn in each hand. I am usually an English style knitter (hold yarn in my right hand and “throw” it). But I surprised myself when I noticed I was knitting with the yarn in my left hand for the part of the jumper that uses only one color. It felt quite natural! I will have to try Norwegian style next. Thank you, Arne and Carlos,for helping us all expand our horizons! 💕

    My jaw dropped at the same time as you Arne when Carlos said that his time in a thrift store ALONE counted towards his lagoon-gate debt - the audacity!! 😆 Don't let him off the hook! And did I miss it or did you forget to show us and hang up the Christmas ball? I love them, they are beautiful. I've made a few as small hostess gifts, which are always gratefully received.

    @janecornell8219 3 года назад

    I am so happy for you. I have that cutter. Another passion of mine is collecting cookie cutters. I get that from my mom too! She would also go overboard with the decorations. I remember my teachers looking forward to having her cookies at parties, especially Christmas, at school. They would make such a fuss and I would be so proud of her. New rules at school allow you to only bring store bought goodies or healthy items. Now I may be eccentric but at your Christmas party, wafer cones with whipped cream and cloudberries or celery sticks? Hmmmmm, I want the wafer cookies and gingerbread and any other kind of cookie! Arne, you don't have to be like my mom. You can use raisins, cinnamon red hots or small candies and they are just as festive and tasty! Carlos, knit a bigger sweater. I have a 12 inch gingerbread boy cutter. Those wooden molds are nice for gingerbread cookies too. You are making me hungry. Off now for a hot cup of tea and cookies! NOTHING says Christmas like cookies! Twin double digits tomorrow, 'til then!

I knitted it in a mixture of wool/acrylic so it would wash easily. It is pine green with autumn burnt orange for the norwegian patterning. Just about to make a second one for him in a different colourway! Thanks for a great pattern.

I use candies, movie tickets, lottery tickets, small toys, etc to make them. Usually one for the kids and one for adults. You are supposed to use oven mitts on your hands but we skip that as it makes it way too hard...lol!
