Hi Arne and Carlos a fabulous tour around your closet, thank you. I particularly loved Arne's childhood cardigan you must have looked adorable in it Arne. I love the idea of putting UFOs into a project and would love to see how you did it. You both brighten my Sunday Carlos and Arne, thank you. Sending you lots of hugs and loves from the UK. Dorothy 🙋🏻😘
You both are so fortunate to still have these sentimental clothes! They are beautiful and can actually feel your love for these priceless garments. Love your videos!
I know im late to this video but that last sweater is so beautiful . And how could people hate that sweater it is pure art . The blue child sweater is absolutely gorgeous as well.
I love the sweater! But most of all I love the care for the beautiful and well made clothes in a time of buying cheap awful stuff that's throw away after a few times of wearing. All of your clothes you just show, have a history, I love that!
I was really moved to see Arne's grandmother's cardigan. To see a garment from a time when things were treasured, looked after and repaired rather than thrown out when the next fashion came along was lovely. We could all take a lesson from the upcyling our grandparents did as a natural part of their lives. PS Please write the pattern for the knitted patchwork sweater (or t least the scarf) Thanks.
I love the patchwork sweater! What a great way to re-use and recreate knitwear ! Now you can recreate baby sweaters into something different and creative. Thank you.
I think you two did a wonderful job on the last sweater in this video. You took the pieces of old sweaters and put them together to make one. So you did a fantastic job of recycling. More people should do the same. I still wear a winter coat that I wore in high school back in 1972. I also go to thrift clothing stores and buy wool clothes and make new clothes out of them. It saves a lot of money and a lot of the fabric is better than the new. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for showing the sweaters and giving the history behind them. They are all truly gorgeous. I would have turned all the scraps of ufos into cushions but that jacket looks so cosy to wear and comforting.
MARAVILLOSO ¡ YA LO DIJE ANTES , PERO SON UNA MARAVILLA ¡ ME PARECEN DE CUENTOS ¡ FELICITACIONES ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 YO, HAGO EL JACARD , ( EN BEBES Y NIÑOS ). PERO ESTO ES REALMENTE PRECIOSO POR PACIENCIA Y IMAGINA CION DE DISEÑOS . SANTIAGO - CHILE
I really admire your collection. I am a quilter (and a knitter) so I like your "patchwork" cardigan a lot, great idea. It is so surprising to see such old sweaters in such good condition, especially that beautiful blue child's cardigan. I made a many sweaters for my children when they were small and still have some of them. One of my favorites is a soft pink wool cardigan with cream and soft green flowers/roses done in the Norwegian style. Here in Maine we need wool sweaters during the cold winter months, too! Don't you think one reason the wool sweaters have lasted so long is that the yarn is a finer yarn than the heavier weight we tend to knit with now? Thanks for all your interesting videos!
Using pieces from other projects to make a useful sweater is wonderful. You gave many pieces a purpose in one. And the fact that some of the panels have sentimental value I think gives the piece a history, and makes it very special.
I love all the stories behind the sweaters. I'm in awe of the sweater that was worn by so many kids in Arne's family. Arne's grandmother's alterations and mending on her favorite sweater are wonderful. I'm a quilter and big fan of visible mending, which means I also love the patchwork sweater. It brings together my two favorite crafts: quilting and knitting!
Loved the last jacket. And grandmas too. We live in a disposable world and this reminds us that quality is worth repairing. Even if she only wore it for working on the farm. It was worth the repairs.
Beautiful, just beautiful. I love every piece, even the ones I don't like. I'm so glad you take pains to preserve the history as well as the garments. Perhaps you will give us some details about how you preserve the sweaters and control the storage environment. Thank you for sharing your treasures.
I love the last sweater that is so creative. My mom took my grandmothers unfinished projects and made pillows for the family. I love the idea of using either things you didn’t finished or things that needed repair.
All the sweaters are wonderful, and I love the last one with the leftover pieces put together into one. I hope someday my grandchildren will pass on the things that I have made for them also.
I love the patchwork sweater - reduce, reuse, recycle for a better planet. And when Arne asks, "Who wouldn't love this sweater?" I agree and I'm wondering who wouldn't love your podcasts.....I do not understand why there are thumbs down on your episodes! Who are these people? Arne & Carlos, your content is wonderful and gives us such a great understanding of how to treasure the traditional, but recreate all things into the modern world. Keep going, you are such a gift to us all!
I absolutely love the very last sweater you showed. It's unique, a one of a kind and it caused the eye to look around to see all the various designs. It's absolutely a perfect piece.
Very interesting indeed. And I think a pattern for the sewn sweater would be great. It can incorporate UFOs, stash busting, second hand store finds - lovely and creative.
I live in America and love your videos. I learn something interesting and new each time I watch. I would love to hear more about your professions as designers for ready to wear garments.
What fun to get a small peek at your special vintage sweaters! I especially enjoyed seeing the sweaters that were worn by your family members. They were all beautiful. A pattern for the "out of the closet" patchwork sweater would be great. I hope you will seriously consider doing it!
I think the sweater is a one of a kind filled with memories. I love your idea but think people should put together their own if they can. A video on how that is done would be great. The criticism comes from people that have to have everything lined up. I think creative people can see the beauty of it. It is like a patchwork quilt in its idea. Thank you for sharing
When we think of a pattern for this jacket, we are thinking more in terms of cut old knitwear and sew it together to a jacket, the pattern would be a sewing pattern, on paper, to make a patchwork jacket out of old pieces, not a knitted pattern where you knit the pieces yourself. We would never make a knitting pattern to replicate our own jacket exactly, it's a one of a kind! No, we'd rather see people cut and sew their own old patchworks into their own jacket.
Love the sweater, the craftsmanship it took to make shows in all the different panels. It is also a history of family and who can deny that it is very special. Thanks for sharing it with us
i just love you both... but Arne, that smile, i just want to squish you with a big hug. and i LOVE the patchwork sweater. Brilliant idea. Something like this might just be my next experimental project. Thanks for being such great sources of inspiration.... xo
I love the idea of re-purposing UFO's into usable garments. All your collection is wonderful. Yes please I would love to see a pattern for your patchwork jacket.
I enjoy your video's. When I am knitting I watch your channel and it relaxes me and helps me be a better knitter. I'm less stressed. Thank you so much for all your patterns and your helpful time saving tips.
I LOVED seeing these wonderful sweaters.. I especially💜 liked the one made from scraps...because of the colors, I thunk... and the one that belonged to Carlos's great grandmother.. Such a lot of history.. I agree that certain things should not be repaired.. It us important to see that a treasured article was loved and used.. 💜💜😎
I’ve never written a RUclips comment and I know this is an older video so you may not see it. However, I wanted to drop in with a comment to tell you both how unusually moving I found seeing Arne’s grandmother’s sweater (and his hand-me-down childhood sweater) My nan died last week and she taught me to knit as a child to keep my hands busy. We were the only knitters in our family and she’s left behind a couple of WIPs that I’m looking forward to finishing for her. Hearing about the rich culture of knitting throughout your family backgrounds really touched me in a way I can’t explain. I’m a bit embarrassed to admit I may have got a bit teary eyed. You’ve definitely inspired me to make sure I find as much of her knitting to preserve as possible. I didn’t expect to stick around for the whole video - I rarely consume knitting content that isn’t a tutorial - but I’m looking forward to watching the rest of the series. Thank you for sharing, there’s so much inspiration to be had in this video alone. I’m particularly obsessed with the sampler jumper and the scrap yarn held double!
Hi Kelli, thank you so much for sharing your story and we hope you enjoy finishing your grandmothers WIP. The best way to remember and honor her is to take care of her knitting items. Such great memories. Welcome to our channel and we hope you find it to your liking!
Great video -- looking forward to the rest of this series. Though all the sweaters are wonderful, I found Arne's grandmother's sweater particularly touching. What a special thing to continue to have in your family!
Loved the tour and love all the sweaters. Carlos you are looking quite debonair with your beautiful new style hair and Arne you look great as usual. I have never knit a jacket before and I am sure it would be very rewarding with a Norwegian pattern.
Gorgeous collection! I so much enjoyed watching this video. And it brought memories for me of when I was a teenager girl growing up in the post Soviet Ukraine, I was making money by knitting men's sweaters, mostly in aran designs. It was my mom's girlfriends, who commissioned them to me for their husbands. Sadly, I don't knit anymore, only crochet.
I like the sweater that you knitted when you were 20....real vintagelook not only because of the age of the sweater but because of the grey yarn that 'ties' all the colors together....great idea for all the bits and pieces that are lefties. For me I wouldn't use a pattern for the last sweater....thank you for your nice video!!
Karen from Fishing Point, Australia. Just loving making my way through all your old clips. I found Arne wearing a sweater with the same pattern as his grandmother's cardigan in the clip " We have become KNIT STARS!". It is also blue and white, just reversed.
I love all your videos (watching them is a real treat to myself), but I particularly loved this episode. All those beautiful old sweaters - so much history! Arne's grandmother's knitting is amazing! I love the patchwork sweater and think it is a very creative way of using parts of sweaters and ufo's that could not be used on their own. What really struck me about this episode was how often the sweaters have been repaired / cut / repurposed. That is very clever, as well as environmentally friendly. I can't wait for the next episode.
Those are such beautiful sweaters. I hope to find some treasures this weekend. Maybe someday woth the help of your tutorials i can make my own to pass down to my children. Thank you for your inspiration.
I ADORE the jacket made from lots of other garments . It's a joy to look at . A piece of art & history . Thank you for sharing all your previous sweaters ❣️
Thank you those beautiful garments hold sweet memories : quality of lovely wool lasts for such a long time which you clearly shown here love you both such an inspiration to all ages an myself uk
I'm addicted to your channel!! I have been watching your videos non stop since I found your channel 2 days ago 😍 I actually love your "ugly sweater" I love pieces that have a lot of character and history. There is something to be said for owning a one of a kind item. Well done!

Thrifting is great.
LOVE the last sweater...the patchwork one. It keeps the eye interested and moving around.
Thank you for showing the sweaters and giving the history behind them. They are all truly gorgeous. I would have turned all the scraps of ufos into cushions but that jacket looks so cosy to wear and comforting.
I love the sweater as well. My favorite, though, has to be the one Arne made with the muti colored with grey yarn. I may have to try that one day.

Hi, we have already made an episode about that. Visit our channel page and you will find that episode amongst others.
I love the last sweater that is so creative. My mom took my grandmothers unfinished projects and made pillows for the family. I love the idea of using either things you didn’t finished or things that needed repair.
The Patchwork Cardigan from various UFOs is sooo coool - I love that!!! ❤🎉😊
All the sweaters are wonderful, and I love the last one with the leftover pieces put together into one. I hope someday my grandchildren will pass on the things that I have made for them also.
Love to see these old items. I can’t wait to spot Arne’s Grandmother’s Sweater pop up in other episodes
Thank you!
absolutely love that sweater! it's very much like a patchwork or scrappy quilt!
I love the patchwork sweater - reduce, reuse, recycle for a better planet. And when Arne asks, "Who wouldn't love this sweater?"

Thank you so much for you kind comment Amy! We really appreciate it.
Lovely colection. I loved the little blue sweater and Arne's Grandma. Viele grüße aus dem Schwarzwald, Deutschland. 😙
in that cardigan there are patchwork techniques of Scandinavian Knit, very good idea, I loved it
I love Arne’s childhood speckled sweater!
I absolutely love the very last sweater you showed.
It's unique, a one of a kind and it caused the eye to look around to see all the various designs.
It's absolutely a perfect piece.

Omg... the sweater that was your grandmothers is amazing even with the wear honestly the stories of her life is in that sweater!! How precious!!!
Thank you Brandi!
Wonderful to see your archive. I'm afraid I'm not very fond of the last jacket, but I loved all the others! 😊
Love it and love the sweater Carlos is wearing too!!
As always you two are awesome!!!! Thank you! ❤️😘
Love, love, love the scrappy sweater
I am among those that love your pieced sweater. Your grandmother's sweater is terrific, too! Nora
What fun to get a small peek at your special vintage sweaters! I especially enjoyed seeing the sweaters that were worn by your family members. They were all beautiful.
A pattern for the "out of the closet" patchwork sweater would be great. I hope you will seriously consider doing it!
Very beautiful knitting...every stitch is unique. Norwegian knitwear is so wonderful!
Love the sweater. A patchwork sweater is great. You would not be bored knitting a variety of stitches.
I love all the sweaters, but especially the last one. So glad you are preserving and repurposing garments/garment parts.
How delightful to see and hear about Arne’s family
I think the sweater is a one of a kind filled with memories. I love your idea but think people should put together their own if they can. A video on how that is done would be great.

I like the patchwork sweater very much!
Love it. Yes please A pattern is a must. Thanks guys for sharing. Love you both. XO from Canada
I love the 'sampler' sweater! Such a cool idea! :-)
The back story is so good I personally don't think it can be replicated. I adore everything you both do so you will prove me wrong
I love the sweater made from remnants! Wonderful archive of beautiful garments.
Keep making them they r beatiful and full of history
Love the sweaters! So much history
Love your show and tell of vintage knits!
I love the idea of re-purposing UFO's into usable garments. All your collection is wonderful. Yes please I would love to see a pattern for your patchwork jacket.
I enjoy your video's. When I am knitting I watch your channel and it relaxes me and helps me be a better knitter. I'm less stressed. Thank you so much for all your patterns and your helpful time saving tips.

LOVE the idea of recycling pieces of knitwear, putting them together in one sweater. No pattern needed, it depends on what knitwear you have or find
That is true, but good for reusing.

Hi Olga, thank you for watching and sharing your story!
Love,love,love them all
I LOVE that sweater!
Thanks Arne & Carlos. Lovely to see those sweaters and I'm looking forward to seeing more.
I really loved the sweater that Arne made with gray as the background and scraps! A beautiful piece that would go with any color shirt or pants!
That is true!
Love the idea of the jacket! LOVE it :)
Love the sweater. Great collection.
Love it. Pattern yes, YES
I love the sweater you put together. In fact loved all of the sweaters you shown. Great quality. Always thought knitted sweaters looks great on men.
I like the sweater that you knitted when you were 20....real vintagelook not only because of the age of the sweater but because of the grey yarn that 'ties' all the colors together....great idea for all the bits and pieces that are lefties.

I looooooove my norwegian Kofte-books! Would love, love, love an Arne and Carlos Kofte-book
Arne, I absolutely LOVE the sweater you knitted when you were "20ish". Simply charming. Glad it got to come out of the closet!
I love the sweater. I like doing sampler style items.
Karen from Fishing Point, Australia. Just loving making my way through all your old clips. I found Arne wearing a sweater with the same pattern as his grandmother's cardigan in the clip " We have become KNIT STARS!". It is also blue and white, just reversed.

That sweater...love it!
Love the sweater you have from the talented grandmother. The original you made is very clever made from many sweaters.
