it’s official. i love arne & carlos and would never have found them were it not for jane mentioning them in the comments of the last post. thanks jane! i’m not a knitter, but i found this garden tour on their youtube channel delightful. now i want to spend a cool summer in a cottage by the water in norway. oh oh oh.
make a cup of tea and click play. so good!
this is the video jane referred to in the comments. a different sort of REMAINS OF THE DAY journal. fun!
for those who subscribe via email to DFLA i’ve put links to the videos since the embedded ones did not appear…
What a delightful couple and garden!
oh my goodness. I love these guys. I want to go sit in their garden with them and just listen to them talk and watch them knit and craft. thanks for sharing this on your blog.
Thank you for the video Mary Ann, I’ve reposted this into my journal group. I find it so relaxing, almost mesmerising, watching other people make their journals. I used to have your videos on in the background when I still had access to them. I find the voices, the noise of creating and often in your videos the birds, so calming. Maybe it reminds me of childhood when we were playing with the noises of adults talking, mum sewing, gardening being done, in the background. It made us children feel safe and like all is well and we can just play. I like those two chaps, and I love their journals, so juicy and chunky and artsy. I may order their book, it has great reviews on amazon uk. Apparently the artwork is stunning. I may just need it to look at and drool over.
Arne and Carlos are utterly charming.
I just found a book they wrote about their art journals and how to make them recently. Very cute, I don’t remember the title. I liked the videos, I love their garden and would love to see the inside of their house.
These are so wonderful. I’ve already reposted links and videos to my two knitting groups. I think my favorite comment was in the Art Journal when Arne (I think), wearing that wonderful straw hat and beautifully patterned sweater over the blue tee shirt, calmly mentions that he attended fashion school.
You’re welcome, Mary Ann. Those guys are so charming. I bought their book on Amazon, “Make Your Own
Ideabook” about art journals, which is nicely done. That same issue of Flow Magazine has an interview/article on Maira Kalman, too. Perfect!
What a kick! I want to go there. They seem to be living so beautifully…b
What an amazing garden and peaceful place….trying to imagine what it looks like when it’s all frozen!
Thank you for sharing.
Oh, I loved seeing the video on their art journals! So similar to your ROD journals, Mary Ann.
i’d love to sit in their garden and stitch paper together with that wonderful old sewing machine!!!
Sister!!!!!! Arne and Carlos are releasing a book with knitted BIRDS!!!! Holy kaka!! Oh please let the English version come out soon. They look fabulous.
don’t be silly, we are fluent in norwegian so why do we need english?
Thanks for sending the link to the video, what sweet guys with their beautiful books! I was scratching my head last night wondering where the video was. Arne and Carlos seem like people I’d like to know…
LOVE your hair Gwen!!! you look fabulous. are you blogging anymore there’s no link attached to your name …
About Arne & Carlos…I like how natural and easy going they are on video. love them!
I read about Arne and Carlos in Flow magazine a while ago, and wasn’t really interested to visit their website because I too don’t knit. Then just a couple of weeks ago I found their video about art journals, and then the garden video, and then looked at lots of other videos on their youtube channel, but these are my favourites so far!
you’re so close you can just pop over to their place for a visit! i’m jealous 🙂
Haha, you’re probably faster taking the plane Form LA to Oslo than me driving up with the car. I am closer, but I guess there are still 1000 km between me and them… Ingrid is the one who is really close!
Oh I LOVE them and their sweaters!! and their garden! Thanks so much for sharing the videos. I must subscribe to them on youtube.
Thank you for sharing this video. Arne and Carlos are wonderful and their garden is spectacular. Did you see their video on making an art journal? Maybe you could collaborate on a class!!!
Thank You so very, very much for sharing these video!!! Definitely feeds into my wanderlust.
