Thank you for sharing some of your past collections and creations. I hope you continue to share these treasures. Please do spend some episodes on the old family looms and Arne’s weaving. Over 50 years ago my husband’s grandmother covered clothes hangers with crochet by the dozens! We still have them and use them!
Yes, please - show us the old loom and how it works! And BTW, your English is fantastic! Lastly, Arne you amaze me with everything you do! So talented!
That was a fun one; I’m always amazed by what Arne finds in his stash! I hope you can find all the pieces of your looms so we can get some weaving videos. And let us know how well your mosquito traps work!
I wandered off for a while but it was so nice to come back today and spend some time with my "old friends." I don't care much for the shorts but I love to have you keep me company while I do my knitting work 😊
I commend you on protecting the insects! Every fall I cover my garden with all of the falling leaves….my neighbor “strongly suggested“ I not do so and rake them all up so they didn’t fly all over …. I responded that I didn’t want to …she asked why and I told her they protected the plants and bugs and worms and bees during the winter…she looked at me like I had four heads and walked away 😂😂😂😂
Mosquitoes are at the bottom of the food chain. I think that citronella candles or torches are great for a small area to be mosquito free. Also I have used essential oils of lavender, lemon etc. .to help me personally not be bothered by them as well. I enjoy watching and listening to your adventures, advice, and your shorts are brilliant so glad you have added them into your routine of videos. I will be sure to watch the edited reruns.
Talking about bees, English lavender attracts so many. I the evening it's so nice to sit out and watch them. We get 3 or 4 different species. They are so interesting to watch ❤
If your not going to have a kitchen for a while. Make your meals ahead of time, put them in microwave safe food keepers, and freeze them. Then when you want a meal just use a microwave and reheat and eat. Not as good as fresh food, but better than not so good Chinese. Also with weather being nice you can cook outside. Love the Cardigan. Those are one of my favorite things to knit. There are some wonderful plants you can put in your garden that actually repell mosquitoes. Lavender, Rosemary, Marigolds, Basil, Lemongrass, Catnip just to name a few. I am in Missouri and these plants are life savers. As always wonderful video and I love your peacock scarf pattern, I bought it last week. Wonderful video. Thanks for the time you take to share with us.
"...computer says no." Love the reference to Little Britain. The amount of fun and interesting content you both provide so consistently is greatly appreciated and loved by so many. Hope you were of great "help" to your neighbours. LOL...
I love, love seeing the archeological items. That crochet flower jacket reminds me if a granny square jacket I had as a child and want to replicate in my adult size. Btw, the shorts are fantastic!! ❤❤❤ I have a rigid heddle loom. Bring on the weaving!! You could sell those bobbins! ❤
Shorts series suggestion: 60SOS - 60 Seconds on Socks. Wherein you take 60 seconds to show how to avoid some common sock mistakes, or solve sock-related problems. Specifically, you once mentioned how to get rid of the hole between the heel and the top of the foot when returning to knitting in the round. I'm sure I'm not the only one who needs a repeat/a visual of what you meant.
I just love the loomed sweater. I think pink an orange looks so good together. An Arne you are so very creative love the hanger . I dont know what i would do without your reruns i watch them all the time. When i have my breakfast thats the first thing i do turn you all on . Take Care
Oh my goodness! Is there anything you can't do Arne? I love the lathed spools for the embroidery threads and all the clothing. Yes, please do some weaving episodes!
Morning Arne and Carlos from Oz. A bit late but sending Birthday wishes to Arne. 60 years young. I love your young spirit , your love of paper dolls, doll’s houses and thrift shopping and beautiful things. Also your giggles. Makes me laugh. The red crocheted jacked is amazing. So much talent. Carlos I hate mozzies too. They love me.Citronella coils work really well. Looking forward to your next videos. Take care. Marilyn
Angle grinder, the tool with the round disc that can cut through iron Arne..... have only recently started to watch you two and I don't even knit! Just sewing here. But I love everything you do. Still catching up with old episodes and loving it. The spindles with embroidery thread are amazing, I would love a display of those. I was without a proper kitchen for a year! And a Christmas without running water and guests. We managed. Although the flooring still needs doing when we have saved up again. Keep up the good work 😊
Yes, please! (to the loom idea), and thank you for standing up on behalf of pollinators. Your insect hotels are perfect for solitary bees and other helpful garden insects, and are garden statuary in their own right. 🐝🐞🦋
I love the wooden bobbins. And I'd love to see weaving - it's a skill I'm interested in but have no clue how to do. I love the diving into Arne's studio. So many interesting things.
Actually all kinds of insects are important, not only bees. Buggs pollinate too. Even mosquitos have a purpose. Birds eat them for example and bats and birds are important for carying seeds to all kinds of destinations through their droppings, therefore contributing to the spreading of plants. So keep on building those insect hotels folks 🙂
Years ago, when I was taking a University of California Master Gardener's course, I learned that bacillus thurengensis is something to spread on bodies of water to prevent mosquitos. I also tried Vitamin B1 to prevent them from biting me and it worked well. Good luck, fellas!
Thank you for this episode♥️! I'm really struggling right now with my mental health and your podcast gives me a sense of security and contentment. I've been watching since i discovered you in 2020 and that's when i also found my love for knitting and crocheting. Thanks so much again, it means a lot to me☺️
Dear Christine, sorry you're struggling with mental health. You're not alone, truly. I lost my husband after 47 years of being married, and you know I found my consolation in knitting. Knitting saved my mind, honestly. While I'm planning, choosing colors and patterns, making switches, Knitting and all that entails, I don't have to think on anything else. I'm sending you a friendly hug, may you get well and remember the Knitting community is wonderful. Greetings from Vancouver, Canada 🇨🇦. Lupita
Dear Christine, you are not alone in your struggle. Many of us have been struggling with all the cares of the world lately. Keep stitching and know you are loved.
Especially loved seeing items "unearthed" from Arne's workshop! With regard to mosquitos, I read an article recently and it indicated that having a fan going is enough to keep the mosquitos away because their delicate wings cannot compete with the fan's air flow.
I've been a bit busy, so I started watching this as it came live last Wednesday and now on Monday I've just finished it. Thank you so much for all your entertaining vlogs. I am really looking forward to episodes on weaving and also the wood-turning lathe. Much love xx
Hi Arne & Carlos I'm sitting watching your show here in Australia. Always have a good giggle . You asked if anyone is interested in you showing some weaving I would love to see you do a segment on weaving . But always love, what ever you mention particularly history of clothing buildings etc in Norway. A country I have always wanted to travel to. On the mosie front I have always used a oil burner with citronella oil in it keeps the mosies at bay. Cheers from Prue in Australia ❤ some weaving
I'm excited to hear that you are doing a live stream at a time that I can attend. Yay! Thank you for thinking of us in Australia . Arne you are so creative and your hands can weave, turn wood, create clothes, knit, Crochet and build things. I love those thread spool holders. They would sell like hotcakes if you made more!!
I live in the states ,and my step grandmother from Bergen taught me to knit 55 years ago. She taught me the throwing style,I quest she thought it would be easier for me . I have been practicing Norwegian style and it has been difficult to switch but I think it is getting easier,thank you for the tutorials and encouragement.
Wonderful episode, extremely interesting love love love watching and listening to you both. I would really like to see the weaving… no pressure as whatever you both do is always great xx
Watched this episode and enjoyed it so much. Just got home from a mini vacation at a Montana mountain cabin 10 minutes from where I live here. The mosquitoes ate me alive! I share your hatred of them, Carlos. They've been horrible this year. I am glad that you mentioned Carson Delete' book. I had also purchased a copy. April 30 I tripped over my open dishwasher door and face planted; the fall broke several teeth and fractured my right shoulder quite badly. The pain was excruciating and remained very painful until the bones began to knit back together. I thought I might never be able to knit again. I am happy to report that I am knitting again and, once I fully recover I anticipate being back where I was in terms of proficiency. I showed the book to the occupational therapist helping me to recover and she was really impressed. Arne, your command of the English language is quite impressive too. I understand how it would be confusing how the same word (& spelling) can have multiple meanings...i.e., knitting bones, and knitting yarn. Fun to make puns.
Loving your episodes and all the stuff you bring out. I will love anything about weaving! Arne, you are amazing and so so talented! And I love ❤️ you too, Carlos!!
I LOVE the Flower Loom cardigan, what a pretty stitch, and the colour is a joy! I am so tempted to try and make one. ❤❤ The skirt is a fab design too, and I can see would look great on the catwalk! Thank you for showing us your accomplishments, you are so creative. 😊🙋🌲🏠
Oh! I'm very glad I listened to the very end! Now I'll be checking my email for the Christmas stocking release! :) Your archaeological endeavors were very successful! Seeing those items was fun. And I'll definitely look forward to seeing the weaving.
WAVE from cold Western Australia. I have to thank you so much. I do so often thank the universe that I discovered you. I am using your knitting technique on circulars, colour work, big stars. SO helpful to have the second colour working with my other hand. I never knew that about things like continental knitting. And I have learned some refinement of technique from you both. So Im knitting a scarf for my son, in the round (no purl). It is in wool, Bendigo Wool Victoria Australia and a skein of Brooklyn Tweed USA. Looking good guys. Best wishes. Maretta p.s. I read somewhere today that slaters, the roll up tiny creatures that live often under stones, that they somehow help with cleansing the earth of some heavy metals.
You are so very right about the ergonomic knitting. I had to change my knitting style in more recent years due to pain. I tried so many continental purl styles and until you all taught me to "dance" I thought my knitting was doomed. Thank you for the Norwegian 15 minute video. Always entertaining.
My knitting has improved so much since watching your videos. The slip stitch on the edge makes a huge difference, and learning to hide a stitch behind another when decreasing in colourwork has improved the quality of my work so nicely. I would love to see weaving videos!! Frankly, anything that you gentlemen have to show is amazing. The spools made on the lathe are beautiful!!
We've had extra rain here in Colorado, too. I didn't have time to watch this until Sunday morning, but enjoyed it. My husband likes to play with his wood turning lathe, but mostly makes candle holders. We have a couple of really big ones sitting on the hearth by the fireplace.
Loved this episode- it was so fun to see the creations you discovered in your excavation of Arne’s studio- such beautiful amazing things! I’m also looking forward to seeing your loom- I’ve been learning weaving over the last year. I wonder what you found out on your undercover walk to the neighbors.
This was very enjoyable! I'd love to see how you work on the loom. Arne's wooden thread holders were wonderful. If I hadn't seen the thread I'd have thought they were a kind of chess set with minarets as a motif.
I’ve been trying to knit and purl in the Norwegian style and find it quite awkward. Thank you for the bit of encouragement! I’ve been knitting the English style since I’ve learned how to knit, so I’m sure you understand the difficulty I’m having. Thank you for being here for all of us. CreativeGrammie
I love the 'show and tell' so interesting; its great to look back at the things you have made with fond memories. Really would love to watch weaving episodes. I'm absolutely fed up of these pesky mossies too due to rain and humidity; they eat me alive. I bought a Thermacell table mosquito repellent and that has worked! Loving your videos.
You two crack me up. I am also a mosquito magnet. They love me and I hate them. One suggestion for when you sit outside is to put a dryer sheet in your shirt or pants pocket to repel the mosquitos. It works. I love the artifacts from the "archeological" dig. 😊
In Switzerland, back in the 1960s, we girls were thought handicraft from the 3rd to the 12th grade. That included knitting, crocheting, cross stitch, many other different embroidery techniques as well as sewing. This knitted hanger - cover was one of my very first knitting and crocheting projects we had to do. Brought back fun memories Thanks for sharing!

Always love seeing your sunny hearts a learning from you - you are a very gracious
Thank you for entertaining us. Just love love love watching you both share your stories & your talents while I knit.🧶🤗🇦🇺

Love all of your finds! Thank you for all you share! ♥️🐑♥️🐑♥️
I love your pyjama gardeners!!! Your shorts are wonderful!!!
Thank you for sharing. I love the way you cover many different topics. Look forward to seeing the old looms.
Yes, please - show us the old loom and how it works! And BTW, your English is fantastic! Lastly, Arne you amaze me with everything you do! So talented!

Looking forward to your episodes on weaving and old looms! (I am a weaver.)
Perfect fit then
Talking about bees, English lavender attracts so many. I the evening it's so nice to sit out and watch them. We get 3 or 4 different species. They are so interesting to watch ❤

The tool to make the wood spindles is a lathe.
The tool for carving wood that turns is a lathe. They are great for hand made rolling pins!
Lathe is one syllable, and pronounced like "Lay" with a th sound at end. The e is silent. Rhymes with Bathe.
When one uses a lathe, one "turns" or carves one's projects. Arne, you could use your lathe to turn custom stands for all your fancy lamps!
Thank you for sharing. I enjoy the variety of what happens in your video and one never knows what to expect. ❤
"...computer says no." Love the reference to Little Britain. The amount of fun and interesting content you both provide so consistently is greatly appreciated and loved by so many. Hope you were of great "help" to your neighbours. LOL...
“It’s HIDEOUS… the UGLIEST thing…”. 😂😂Ilove the way you two insist that EVERYTHING in your surroundings be beautiful. I get it now. I really do.
😍😍
It's always a treat to sit and listen to your life in Norway! Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to the new stocking!
I love, love seeing the archeological items. That crochet flower jacket reminds me if a granny square jacket I had as a child and want to replicate in my adult size. Btw, the shorts are fantastic!! ❤❤❤ I have a rigid heddle loom. Bring on the weaving!! You could sell those bobbins! ❤
Yes please, to episodes with the looms and weaving. So interesting I am sure, and you guys make things so much fun to watch.

I laughed just as hard at the Dolly Parton cake re-run as I did the first time. I will probably laugh just as hard next time! :D
Oh my goodness! Is there anything you can't do Arne? I love the lathed spools for the embroidery threads and all the clothing. Yes, please do some weaving episodes!
You two are so talented, Enjoyed seeing the treasures from your past collections.
I loved seeing what you have excavated! How fun to go back in history and showcase what was popular and trending from years in the past. Thank you
Thank you for watching

I would love to see Arne checking the looms and using them. Super exciting!
Spindles made on a lathe? Very nice!!! I would buy those for my embroidery thread!!
Anti-mosquito perfume. I love it! Sounds much more marketable than insect repellent
Yes, would love to see the old looms and how they work!!♥️
Stay tuned 😊
Looms and weaving would be so interesting. Would definitely watch the episodes. Sounds fascinating
I'd love to seen the looms & weaving - that is sooo interesting to me... so my vote is yes!
Great, thank you Laurie!
I'm a weaver. I'm looking forward to seeing your loom and weaving episodes!!

Hi. I love to listen to you both talking about your home projects. The garden looks lovely in the summer rain. Jana
Yes, please! (to the loom idea), and thank you for standing up on behalf of pollinators. Your insect hotels are perfect for solitary bees and other helpful garden insects, and are garden statuary in their own right. 🐝🐞🦋
Very impressive, what can't you do? you are very talented Arne!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Weaving looms sound wonderful! I'm always interested in anything you put out for content!👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love seeing the clothing you designed! Looking forward to seeing some weaving videos from you.

It was a lovely idea to show some of the clothes from the archives. It is always a fun time with you two!
So nice to catch up! The archives are amazing!! ❤
Barbecue and outdoor cooking like camping. Cook in the greenhouse 😉 Computer says NO! 🤣🤣 Little Britain in Norway 🤭
I think the word you're looking for is 'lathe'. I would love to watch Arne weaving. Thank you so much - you guys are priceless. ❤👍from Somerset, UK
Years ago, when I was taking a University of California Master Gardener's course, I learned that bacillus thurengensis is something to spread on bodies of water to prevent mosquitos. I also tried Vitamin B1 to prevent them from biting me and it worked well. Good luck, fellas!
Thanks for the tips. Will look into it.

I feel right at home watching you two. Thank you for coming by!
Seeing an episode on weaving would be great. Thank you.
The flower sweater is gorgeous! Love it! So excited for your upcoming loom/weaving episodes! I am a new weaver and always up for learning more! 💕
I've been a bit busy, so I started watching this as it came live last Wednesday and now on Monday I've just finished it. Thank you so much for all your entertaining vlogs. I am really looking forward to episodes on weaving and also the wood-turning lathe. Much love xx
Anything involving weaving would be wonderful!
The rotating machine that cuts wood is called a “lathe” in English. Your woodworking is beautiful Arne.
Hi Arne & Carlos I'm sitting watching your show here in Australia. Always have a good giggle . You asked if anyone is interested in you showing some weaving I would love to see you do a segment on weaving . But always love, what ever you mention particularly history of clothing buildings etc in Norway. A country I have always wanted to travel to. On the mosie front I have always used a oil burner with citronella oil in it keeps the mosies at bay. Cheers from Prue in Australia ❤
some weaving
Hi, I've watched you both for years. Arne, your English is now excellent!
Thank you!
Enjoy spending my knitting time with you both. Working on the Peacock Scarf!
Episodes with Arne weaving would be lots of fun to watch!
For sure!
Yes weaving episodes
I agree, a weaving episode would be fantastic.
I'm excited to hear that you are doing a live stream at a time that I can attend. Yay! Thank you for thinking of us in Australia . Arne you are so creative and your hands can weave, turn wood, create clothes, knit, Crochet and build things. I love those thread spool holders. They would sell like hotcakes if you made more!!
I’m in Melbourne and excited for the next zoom too.
I live in the states ,and my step grandmother from Bergen taught me to knit 55 years ago. She taught me the throwing style,I quest she thought it would be easier for me . I have been practicing Norwegian style and it has been difficult to switch but I think it is getting easier,thank you for the tutorials and encouragement.
Wonderful episode, extremely interesting love love love watching and listening to you both.
I would really like to see the weaving… no pressure as whatever you both do is always great xx
A lathe is the English word for the wood turning tool. You two are the best ♥️♥️
Watched this episode and enjoyed it so much. Just got home from a mini vacation at a Montana mountain cabin 10 minutes from where I live here. The mosquitoes ate me alive! I share your hatred of them, Carlos. They've been horrible this year. I am glad that you mentioned Carson Delete' book. I had also purchased a copy. April 30 I tripped over my open dishwasher door and face planted; the fall broke several teeth and fractured my right shoulder quite badly. The pain was excruciating and remained very painful until the bones began to knit back together. I thought I might never be able to knit again. I am happy to report that I am knitting again and, once I fully recover I anticipate being back where I was in terms of proficiency. I showed the book to the occupational therapist helping me to recover and she was really impressed. Arne, your command of the English language is quite impressive too. I understand how it would be confusing how the same word (& spelling) can have multiple meanings...i.e., knitting bones, and knitting yarn. Fun to make puns.
Excited to see future videos on your looms and weaving. The bobbins you made Arne are beautiful. Keep them out on display.
Thank you so much for your videos. I love you guys.
Loving your episodes and all the stuff you bring out. I will love anything about weaving! Arne, you are amazing and so so talented! And I love ❤️ you too, Carlos!!
I LOVE the Flower Loom cardigan, what a pretty stitch, and the colour is a joy! I am so tempted to try and make one. ❤❤
The skirt is a fab design too, and I can see would look great on the catwalk!
Thank you for showing us your accomplishments, you are so creative. 😊🙋🌲🏠
Oh! I'm very glad I listened to the very end! Now I'll be checking my email for the Christmas stocking release! :)
Your archaeological endeavors were very successful! Seeing those items was fun.
And I'll definitely look forward to seeing the weaving.
I LOVE the emojis. Yes, please keep them coming!! "I'm sooo good" LOL And the beautiful orange, pink and red crochet sweater...so gorgeous!
We will
WAVE from cold Western Australia. I have to thank you so much. I do so often thank the universe that I discovered you. I am using your knitting technique on circulars, colour work, big stars. SO helpful to have the second colour working with my other hand. I never knew that about things like continental knitting. And I have learned some refinement of technique from you both. So Im knitting a scarf for my son, in the round (no purl). It is in wool, Bendigo Wool Victoria Australia and a skein of Brooklyn Tweed USA. Looking good guys. Best wishes. Maretta p.s. I read somewhere today that slaters, the roll up tiny creatures that live often under stones, that they somehow help with cleansing the earth of some heavy metals.
You are so very right about the ergonomic knitting. I had to change my knitting style in more recent years due to pain. I tried so many continental purl styles and until you all taught me to "dance" I thought my knitting was doomed. Thank you for the Norwegian 15 minute video. Always entertaining.
Always the highlight of my week gentlemen. ❤❤❤
Help. 😉
Thanks again for another great episode - especially from the garden!!
My knitting has improved so much since watching your videos. The slip stitch on the edge makes a huge difference, and learning to hide a stitch behind another when decreasing in colourwork has improved the quality of my work so nicely. I would love to see weaving videos!! Frankly, anything that you gentlemen have to show is amazing. The spools made on the lathe are beautiful!!
Love hearing about your life. Very interesting and inspiring for my projects.
Get started and mist importantly get them completed. 🌞
Yes
I just got home from Norway. What a fabulous trip.
Waited to sit with my friends at sunrise here in New York thank you so much for sharing you guys are inspirational
That would be awesome....I love weaving....never done it , but love the projects and the mechanics of it
Can't wait for weaving shorts or videos on anything yarn for wefwast and warp, looms and tools, patterns, etc.
We've had extra rain here in Colorado, too. I didn't have time to watch this until Sunday morning, but enjoyed it. My husband likes to play with his wood turning lathe, but mostly makes candle holders. We have a couple of really big ones sitting on the hearth by the fireplace.
Loved this episode- it was so fun to see the creations you discovered in your excavation of Arne’s studio- such beautiful amazing things! I’m also looking forward to seeing your loom- I’ve been learning weaving over the last year. I wonder what you found out on your undercover walk to the neighbors.
Those items are beautiful! They need to be placed on display with other FOUND items in a space in a gallery or art museum for textiles.
Wonderful episode! LOVE the spindles you made on the lathe! Beautiful! Weaving wou.d be great! Thank you all for making and sharing this lovely video!
This is when good neighbors really matter.
🎉
You are 2 very interesting gentlemen. Thank you for doing these.
Thank you for watching
Hermososs trabajos, gracias por compartir, saludos desde Chile
Yes I’d love to see your looks! Love your channel even though I’m not able to be a member. Thank you both for excellent content. ❤️❤️
I mean looms!!
Yes show the looms! I used to have a Swedish floor loom, counterbalanced. Loved it.
This was very enjoyable! I'd love to see how you work on the loom. Arne's wooden thread holders were wonderful. If I hadn't seen the thread I'd have thought they were a kind of chess set with minarets as a motif.
I’ve been trying to knit and purl in the Norwegian style and find it quite awkward. Thank you for the bit of encouragement! I’ve been knitting the English style since I’ve learned how to knit, so I’m sure you understand the difficulty I’m having.

I'm absolutely fed up of these pesky mossies too due to rain and humidity; they eat me alive. I bought a Thermacell table mosquito repellent and that has worked! Loving your videos.
Those are beautiful bobbins you made Arne. I think you made them on a wood turning lathe.
Yes, that’s what it’s called! Thanks!☺️
You two crack me up. I am also a mosquito magnet. They love me and I hate them. One suggestion for when you sit outside is to put a dryer sheet in your shirt or pants pocket to repel the mosquitos. It works.
I love the artifacts from the "archeological" dig. 😊
In Switzerland, back in the 1960s, we girls were thought handicraft from the 3rd to the 12th grade. That included knitting, crocheting, cross stitch, many other different embroidery techniques as well as sewing. This knitted hanger - cover was one of my very first knitting and crocheting projects we had to do. Brought back fun memories Thanks for sharing!
My ears went up when you mentioned Karl Johans Gt, I remember it from visiting Oslo in February, near The Hub! Good times!
I have just inherited my Dad’s inkle loom that I am restoring and then going to relearn how to use. Weaving is such a fascinating craft.
Very interesting and hope you continue to grow.
I would enjoy watching you put the loam together and using it
I look forward watching your programs.
