Ever since I started watching you, I could see the love and respect for each other shine through. Thank you for letting us be a part of your story.
Thank you!
Your creation story is lovely. Like so many of your fans, I wanted to hear the details of how two talented, generous and hard working men got together. You continue to compliment each other as you grow. Lucky for us - you share the fun. Thank you! ❤❤
I know Arne has a black belt in shopping but coming home having bought a train station is next level 😂
You guys are the cutest 💗
Thank you!
Aw, I just love this comment!❤
What a wonderful story! The two of you were destined to meet, that is so obvious - even if Arne's poor memory caused a slight delay! You really are the most delightful couple and I am sure all of us feel honoured to be a small part of your continuing journey. Here's to the next 20 years of Arne & Carlos!
It's a difficult decision, but I believe that this is my favorite episode. I am so happy to hear your story, and I am so glad that you met each other. Your podcast has gotten me through the pandemic and I always enjoy spending time with you both. Thank you for sharing your stories and your time with us all!
You two were meant to be together! Your relationship and the patience and kindness you show towards each other, even when something annoys you about the other becomes a source of joy and laughter. If all relationships were like yours the world would be a better happier place! Thank you for sharing your fated journey towards each other.
This was the best “15 minutes” I have ever spent . You are a beautiful couple and your love and respect for one another is so evident. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Thank you for watching Clare!
BEST EPISODE EVER! I absolutely loved the story of how you met and of your lives together since then . You are such a charming couple and so generous to share this with all of us
Thank you so much Laura!
I love how the two of you are SO good together . I’ve never heard a harsh or mean word from either of you . I thank you for giving us a glimpse of your lives together !
So Classic! The optimism of Youth! “We bought a lot of nice things in Paris for a house that was falling down!” love it! Oh to be young again!
How nice to learn how you met and your business adventures. Your 15 minutes are usually closer to 51 minutes and I’m glad of that. I love your Sit & Knit for a Bit podcasts. May your lives forever be filled with fun and art and gardening and traveling and Arne’s hoarding! 😊❤️
So, could we say it was love at first sight?🥰 I think you shared your story some years??? ago and I remembered the part with the wrong number.🤗 I love reading all the nice comments here. In a time where there's hate everywhere it's a blessing to have a place like this to see that there are still many loving and kind people.❤
The hat I'm knitting as I sit and listen to your stories today will forever be associated with your positive vibe, inspiration, and love. Thank you for that gift.
Thank you for this Sit and Knit for a bit. I am a little late to watch it but my time has been dedicated to my family from Canada who managed to visit us, here in Italy for three weeks.
About Sainte Catherine. The feast is on the 25 th of November at least in France, where I come from. Among other she is the patron saint of the dressmakers, in France. And any fashion shop normally closes on this day. There is also a tradition, again in France, that if you are a young woman of 25 and not married you do a party on this day with a hat on your head and with your girlfriends. Forget to mention that the feast on the 25 th November is of Sainte Catherine of Alexandria, who as the tradition says, is buried on the Mount Sinai.
The other notable Sainte Catherine is Sainte Catherine of Sienna. She fought to have the popes come back to Rome from Avignon, France. Her feast is on the 29 th of April. (I checked my text with the notes from Sylvie Barnay, Maitre de conferences a l'universite Paul Verlaine in Metz, Chargee de Cours a l'Institut Catholique de Paris).
You talked to "changing with time and ready for changes". It happened to me in the last eight years. Going from Malta to Berlin, then to Italy. It is not always easy mostly when you are unprepared as I was. The first one to Germany was to accompany my husband. It just took me a long time to find a group where I could make my bobbin lace. I had been teaching in Malta for more than ten years and suddenly I was alone in front of my work with no one to talk to. However and after three years I was extremely lucky to find a group who not only accepted me but let me learn other craft such as weaving and knitting socks. And then there was the language. Towards the end I managed to make myself understood, even giving lace courses in German. Don't know if I could do it again :(.
Now we moved to Italy to be near our son and his family instead of being alone in Malta. Luckily I found a group to join for my bobbin lace. The language is more accessible for me but with Covid you don't meet many people. (Luckily there was a couple of guys from Norway who since last year have brighten my days).
Unfortunately the move is not yet done. I thought that I would stay until my end in Malta in the house we bought more than thirty years ago and now we are going to sell it but mostly emptying it. Thirty years of souvenirs but being a little like Arne I have to go through all the wool, threads, material accumulated during this time.
I hope that it was not too tedious to read my text. Never thought I would write so much. Please take care of yourself.
Best regards, Catherine.
Thank you for sharing your story Catherine, you have a lot of sorting ahead of you.❤
Neither of you foresaw RUclips, because who could possibly foresee RUclips, and now people all over the world know you and love you. Great continuation of your story.
Watch your video and see coal black Freja against Carlos’s coal black sweater and a little pink Freja tongue floating like magic with no little dog attached. So cute!
Long videos are better. I love all your videos but this one may be the best ever.
This episode was so charming. I loved watching Carlos and Arne talking about how they met and watching the others reaction to the recollection of the other. Seeing the twinkle in Carlos’ eyes towards Arne was so endearing.
❤️
Thank you for keeping me company for the last '15' minutes 😉. I could listen to you two all day. You're very calming.
Arne and Carlos: the Pancho and Lefty of the knitting world!
What a wonderful, wonderful love story 💕 so touching and heartfelt and Carlos, you made me cry when you told Arne how special he was to you. Such treasured memories you share, such soulmates, a truly heartwarming episode. Take care and keep sharing your joy 🧶🍁🧵🍂
Such an enjoyable story. Really enjoyed your relationship and your weekly Sit and Knits
Everyone’s life story is interesting in it’s own way! But the story of how you two met and have lived your lives is a story unto itself! So fun and so interesting! So adventurous and loving! You two are treasures of Norway, of fashion, of RUclips, and of knitting! The love and respect you have for each other…and each other’s different personality traits…is so wonderful and admirable! Thank you both for the stories, the designs, and the fun you bring to so many people!❤️❤️
Thank you. What a sheer pleasure! From Seattle, visiting my daughter in Haddington Scotland. Great to sit and knit with you!!
Thank you!
It’s delightful to hear you telling us « Once upon a time, Arne and Carlos… » love it . You’re such lovely respectful men… I wish you the best for the next 20 years, you deserve it !
Thank you!
The smile of Carlos when you, Arne, said she knew the guy that danced salsa all the time, priceless.
😃
I loved watching the video and I totally loved when you looked at each other and said how glad you were together, I’m so glad you found each other and we get to watch your videos sheer joy xx
Lovely story. Love how you are helping keep knitting alive and relevant.
That was a beautiful story - the two of you complement each other so well, and thank you for uplifting everyone's spirits in these difficult times.
My heart has melted. Thanks 😀 again for all your strength and honesty and love ❤ xx
Thank you!
The biggest message was that you two work VERY hard!! And are a wonderful compliment for each other! Well done!
What nice stories you both told. I treasure the day I took knitting classes from you both.
❤️
I just love this story. I laughed out loud many times, and felt my heart warmed by your mutual love for each other. I'm so glad that the universe turned for your paths to cross, and in turn again for you both to be here on your channel to be with the rest of us. Thank you for this.
'I think you are fantastic.'
'You too.'
❤️
I'm a brazilian knitter and I learn english with you. 😍
What a wonderful account of your meeting and "living happily ever after". Thanks for sharing.
❤
What a privilege to share in such a personal story! Thank you both so much. It’s wonderful to be part of such a loving and caring relationship - your ‘give and take’ is so very special. Two very different personalities who joined together create something much bigger! You are held in all our hearts!
I laughed out loud at the Oslo ticket counter and Arne saying “I got the moves”. You could always turn your studio into a disco 😆 And since you survived the selling of the flat and living in a train station without running water (Carlos) your relationship could probably survive anything. So fun to learn how you came together and the story of your career progression. You clearly complement each other and are an amazing team. Thanks for another wonderful S&KFAB!
I’m wondering if you will have any Beetle Merch in your shop? I need some ;)
I just love these guys. So sweet, so real, so warm, so entertaining :). Just sitting here, practicing the Norwegian method of knitting (taught by them) and listening to the story of how they met. 💕
I love these longer videos. I can sit and knit a LOT
I'm so happy that you two got together! You make the world a much better place. Sometimes, if I get a little stressed with the world's events, I know watching you two will calm me down. Thank you both so much. ❤❤
Thank you for listening!
Definitely!!!☺👏👏👏👏👏
Man, Arne...no wonder you can knit so fast...it's genetic. Amazing!
Such a happily ever after story. Everyday is such a joy even in the simplest way.
Thank you!
My first tripto Norway and Sweden was in 1969. I fell in love with the landscape.
Oh you guys! This was one of my favorite podcasts. Thanks so much for sharing how you met and the history of your fashion work and experiences. I love that you have created the "Arne and Carlos" brand from hard work and dedication. You are both so creative. Carlos you had me in tears (happy) as you express how wonderful it is to have Arne as your partner. The love is so evident and having Arne to share those experiences and memories is a gift. Thanks for all the time you put into your podcasts. I am one of those who definitely looks forward to them each week.
Sitting and sewing for a bit, listening to you both reminiscing. What a wonderful life, 20 plus years, and you're still making plans to work, travel and play together ❤️
Oh my gosh, what wonderful stories. The only bad thing about this video is, I'm now aware how boring my life has been! Thanks so much for sharing your interesting life with us.
Sure you're not the only one feeling that! Trying to use it as inspiration to make my life a whole lot more interesting somehow! Although lacking in the talents of Arne and Carlos so might be a bit of a challenge to make it quite so exciting!
Your love for each other shines through your expressions❤️I travelled 12000 miles across the ocean to Australia and met my husband to be the day after I arrived. We married 2 years later and will celebrate our 54th wedding anniversary on 23rd December 2021❤️❤️
Such a nice story, we hope you are doing something special for your anniversary.
@@ARNECARLOS we have always celebrated our anniversary, firstly with our two children now just the two of us. Our son delighted us when he also married on our wedding day in 2000, sadly his marriage has not lasted😢
Thank you for another wonderful 15 minutes and sharing the story of how you met. I know that Carlos has said in the past that he especially values his privacy, so thank you for being willing to be so open with your viewers. You two gentlemen complement each other so well and it's lovely to see.
Thank you for sharing the fabulous story of how you met and began your design careers together. Back in the summer of 2012, i wandered into the DogA in Olso to see what I thought was an exhibit about the knitted balls book and discovered so much more about the both of you as designers. I wasn't surprised, I guess, to see your modern take on the Marius sweater, but the dress designs were stunning. I remember the "Dolly Parton" collection and the dress with the exquisite cutouts. The royal family dolls were great too. I wonder what Queen Sonia thought about your portrayal of her? thank you so much for sharing such an intimate glimpse into your lives together.
Thank you for sharing those memories Katherine😍!
I love how your journey had major obstacles at times and you overcame all of them by focusing on the results and supporting each other’s dreams. The both of you are inspiring… especially that breath taking garden!
THIS COULD BE A MOVIE.
It is amazing what we endure when we have a dream and determination to follow our dreams.
Giving up your great jobs and living in a shamble of house with no TOILET.
My Grandparents never had running water and had outdoor toilet.
Love your stories. ❤
Most enjoyable “15 minutes” of my day!! 💕.
I loved hearing your story about how you met. You were obviously meant for each other. ❤️❤️🧶🧶🧵🧵🥰🥰
When you started telling the story of how you met you looked twenty years younger. So romantic! And the bus station phone number was like a twist out of a screenplay for a romantic comedy. A great story!
😀❤️
I attended your lecture in Armstrong British Columbia in October 2018. I am the person who “fangirled” you with hugs as you left the pub after dinner. It just seemed like I had known you forever! I can now apologize for embarrassing you both. Thank you for hugging me back.
Loved hearing your story! I’ve been curious for a long time about how and when you met. You’re a wonderful couple that I enjoy watching every week.
I think your friends knew you would be inseparable! Precious memories thank you 6or sharing that personal story
Thank you for listening!
How lovely to hear "how we met" from both of your perspectives. Isn't it wonderful that one of you is detail oriented and one is "fuzzier"? That's MY relationship with my husband in a nutshell. May it ever be so!]
What a wonderful story. I enjoy watching your Sit & Knit for a bit.
"Oh my God, oh my God. I'm going to die here!" So funny Carlos 🤣! Loved hearing your love story.💖
Thank you!
You should write a book about all your travels! It would be fabulous! ❤
Thank you so much for sharing how you met! You are always so delightful to listen to and help me relax while knitting!😊
I love listening to your story! I always wave back at th end, when you wave! See you next time!
🤗
I am so happy you met and that there is an “Arne and Carlos”. It is cold and dark now also here in northern Minnesota and I sure enjoy listening to your stories while I am working on my projects! Thanks for the great story!! 👍🥰
Years ago there used to be an American TV commercial for a card company, and their slogan was "When you care enough to send the very best ...". While I was watching this episode, that saying popped into my head, unbidden. Now I realize how perfectly it fits how I feel about your sharing your lovely story with us. You care about us enough to send us your very best. Thank you so much for this moment, Arne and Carlos.
❤️
Hello. You both bring so much joy to my life each week. Thank you! I am loving your crochet flowers. Would you consider doing a 'flower of the month' - highlighting a different flower each month?
Carlos saying he wasn’t going to talk made me roar!
Thank you so much for this episode! I really enjoyed the story on how you met. I have been wondering about it, but I don’t ask anyone how they met because I think that’s nobody else’s business unless you choose to tell it yourself. I really like this concept and I hope you will continue doing these 15 minutes 😄 once a week. And it’s so nice that you have all these memories together. Life is good when you can share it with someone. Take care!
What a fun and lovely story! Arne and Carlos were mean to be
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this episode. For sharing your life together story. The most beautiful love story. The story of "Arne and Carlos" as a business. And the 15 minutes made all the more special because I was knitting the new Christmas Stocking. I am up to the top of the first floor door.
Arne& Carlos, you two are so blessed to have a partner/roommate/companion that shares interests.....crafting, knitting, design, gardening....and you have guys have 2 wonderful furchildren....Freya and Helmer....i have a furbaby, her name is Jules....i love her...she is always there for me to snuggle with and excited to see me when i get home...oh and that sweater Arne is wearing is beautiful
I love hearing how you two met ❤️❤️❤️ I enjoy your videos so much, I learned how to norwegian purl from your video & it’s made a huge difference for me. Thanks for sharing part of your life with us. ❤️❤️
I first heard about you when you came to create and craft in the UK. I bought your Christmas balls book. How many books have you written in English? I must collect them all. Thank you for coming into my life. I am disabled and housebound. So you come into my home via you tube and we sit knit and have an excellent conversation. Thank you so much for your company and cheering me up. All my love to you both xxx
What a great “how we met story.” Thank you for sharing yourselves. I can’t wait until we can travel again: first trip is to England to tour some of the gardens. Cheers!
That is a great choice!
My newly found favorite yarnistas!
Thank you so much for this special episode. The Story of Arne and Carlos would make a truly wonderful book. I am so grateful for your podcasts. Much love and so many good wishes for the next 20 years (and many more) of Arne and Carlos.
Lovely session. Heartwarming to hear your story. It was so funny to see Freya „disappear“ while sitting on Carlos‘ lap. Black dog before black sweater. Invisible Freya.
True!
This has been absolutely fascinating guys. Thank you so much. It’s always interesting to hear how people have met. Love it. Thanks again 🧶🧶
Freya perfectly camoflaging into your jumper.
I thoroughly enjoyed your time of sharing with all of us, it was delightful!!! Thankyou! Looking forward to to seeing your next collection released! Bless you both!
Thanks for sharing your story. It was clear the universe meant for you to be together even if you had to get there via the ticket desk at Oslo Bus Station! I am so pleased I was able to meet you in person a couple of times at the Knitting and Stitching Show in London and you signed my Nordic Knits book for me. I remember being very impressed because when you asked where I lived and I mentioned the Isle of Wight, your love of historic houses showed when you immediately made the connection to Osborne House. I am knitting the Freya cardigan from that book right now and loving it. So many of us get such pleasure from sharing time with you, especially in these difficult times. Finally Carlos I have to say I am completely in awe of your memory for dates and details, so glad Covid did not take that from you!!
My heart just glowed watching this. :) I truly loved hearing about your story. Thank you so much for sharing with us! This is one of my favorite sit and knit for a bit episodes. You two are the best!
Thank you so much for your podcasts. I throughly enjoy each and every one,
Thank you!
Your stories of meeting each other are so heartwarming! Thank you so much for this episode!!Marsha
Thank you for listening Marsha!
To the next 20 years of Arne and Carlos!!🎊🎊
Yay!
What a brilliant episode from my favorite down to earth designers! Such memories you’ve shared! Travels, people met...And even Einstein had a saying, “never memorize something you can look up.” So he didn’t know his phone number either 🤭 May you both have more fabulous adventures ahead. You deserve them! 🥰
Thank you for sharing the lovely story .arnes the balloon Carlos the string .what a lovely combination.
Thank you for this! Wonderful to hear such a happy story about a relationship that has lasted so well and you still love each other so much. Thank you for these podcasts - they make my week x ❤
Just when I think you two couldn’t get any better….there you go…topping the last one again. Magicians!
We try our best!
Thank you so much for sharing your story, it is truly amazing! ... So many adventures!
"(...) Entre las cosas hay una
de la que no se arrepiente
nadie en la tierra. Esa cosa
es haber sido valiente." (“Milonga de Jacinto Chiclana”, de Jorge Luis Borges)
I see courage in every step you made, and it is very inspiring for me ❤
❤️❤️
The story behind how both of you met is interesting. Even more fascinating is the history behind the purchase of your home and business ventures.
I love Comme de Garons. I studied at FIT in NYC in the 80’s, every designer was inspired by these designs.
Love stories ❤ I love them. Take care of each other and let love rule ❤
😍
and folks wonder why I don't watch TV, why would I when we have these two charming guys with such fantastic stories, thank you
Thank you for sharing your story! You both brighten my day each time I watch your podcast.
Thank you!
Beautiful story! Here's to another 20+ years! 🥂
From southern California, USA: Thank you for sharing your story. The more I learn about you, the more I appreciate you.
❤️
💕 The Great Gatsby & Jack and the Bean Stalk

Arne has wonderful creative ideas and Carlos has brilliant precision and is a finest speaker....❤

What a most pleasurable Sit and Knit for a Bit episode.
Your love, and admiration for each other and your commitment, and entrepreneurial spirits make me so happy for you both.
