    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 RUclips! Love you both.

      I also watched them through the pandemic, luckily I started watching them faithfully all the way through. I don't knit either, but I enjoy crocheting. I became a member recently too, kindred spirit!

    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.

    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. 🌞🌻🌞

    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 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!!

  • @michelemurnane2834
    @michelemurnane2834 6 месяцев назад +1

    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.

    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.

  • @bluelupin7955

    ❤ 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! ❤

    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.

    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....

    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 😍⛰️

    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

    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.

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 🤠🎄🍾🥂

    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! 😊❤

Congratulations to you for all you do and it is enjoyable to watch

    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!
