Oh how Wonderful ❤ Beautifully ❤ Thank U for all these, I'm a year behind, Very Much A Gift 😊❤ listening to Voices from Grams spoke, it comes right to my heart!! Traditions and Works just Beautifully ❤😊 Thank U for thinking of this trip, videos!! Thank's 😊
Not only have you provided your viewers an entertaining series, but you have also preserved these crafts and crafters for as long as videos exist. Thank you, A&C, for sharing this beauty with the world.
How can each episode keep getting better and better? Randi is amazing. It is so wonderful that people like her and the others that you have interviewed are keeping these beautiful crafts alive. Once you buy Arne’s grandmother’s farm and build your cottage you will be able to use it for your base while doing the Setesdal embroidery classes!!! I love that you can each speak your own languages/dialects and understand each other so perfectly. If only the whole world could be like this. ❤️from🇨🇦
Another wonderful program. Carlos , yes you and Arne are very privileged to partake in such a beautiful experience and thank you for sharing that privilege with your viewers. This has been fabulous!
Tuned in while having my lunch and all I can say is : THANK YOU! Your Setesdal videos have been so informative and interesting. What a great video! This one really hit the mark for me and if I could I would make reservations for winter classes now! Randi is a pleasure to listen to even though I do not understand a word - and thank you for the translations, of course. And to make it all so interesting...I received my recent DNA and I am 5% Norwegian (along with some Denmark) ! What a happy day. BYE!
How delightful. I am so enjoying this series. I can see myself sitting with the mountains surrounding me and I can smell the fresh air. You have brought all of these beautiful crafts and Norway to life. Thank you!!
Randi Myrum was so lovely, congenial, and down to earth. Thank you for taking us toher! Also, as usual, you two were also lovely, congenial, and down to earth!!!
Another wonderful episode featuring such beautiful embroidery on their sweaters! It is so great that you are showing us all the work and skill that goes into each craft. Thank you!
It was inspiring to hear Randi talk about the craft of Setesdal embroidery and how it was done in the past as she was watching over both of you. What a wonderful spot, sitting on a wooden bench on a sunny day in Rygnestad farm in gorgeous Setesdal. It was so serene. Randi is such a lovely person. She is a source of inspiration, knowledge and passion. I also enjoyed hearing both of you speaking in Norwegian. Again, my compliments to Carlos for the translation! Thank you for all the hard work put into this series. It has been a wonderful journey so far.
I love Randi. She is passionate, as are all of your guest stars! I’m fascinated at the idea of pulling out the canvas and then adding the finishing details. I’d imagine it adds dimension and depth. I’d love to see a demonstration of that because I can’t picture the canvas removal. It would be interesting to see this countryside in winter. Meantime, I noticed some lovely wildflowers in the background. Xx
So so fantastic and sympathic people you meet!! And I like to see, that you have a nice time. Love it, to hear you laughing!! Enjoy your time and take care!! Many greetings from Germany. 👍👍👍🌻🌻🌻😁
This was such a fast half hour! I really enjoyed your conversation with Randi. I hope you will come back sometime in the future and take a class with her, and bring your film team with you so we can all watch and follow along. Congratulations, Carlos, on becoming a Norwegian citizen. Thanks for a charming episode.
Hi Arne and Carlos. I’ve really been enjoying your Norwegian Craft traditions series on Setesdal. I’ve learned so much. Carlos you did a marvellous job on the subtitles and they were easy to read. Thank you for all the work that you’ve both done. I’m looking forward to viewing more interesting guests please when you have time .
On my fathers side are my grandmother (from Norway) and my grandfather (from Sweden). They used to speak to each other in Swedish/Norwegian on and off and I miss it. I remember my grandmother embroidering and hooking the braided rugs when I was little. I have the special hand made hook my grandfather made for her. I want to knit the sweater you boys are wearing and to embroider the meaningful symbols attached. Love these sweaters of all the ones I've seen you wear!
I haven't embroidered for many years. Watching this episode has made it tempting for me to begin again....perhaps, once I have completely mastered the Norwegian Knit! Hearing about all the traditions is fascinating.
Thanks for another Norwegian language lesson. I love listening to your conversation in your native tongue. What wonderful ambassadors you are for Norway also. As good as it gets! 👍
This series is brilliant. I wish I had known about Setesdal when I visited Norway in 2019. However I now have a good reason to return to your lovely country.
I Love embroidered garments so learning about the way they do their embroidery is awesome. Very interesting. Thank you once more for another interesting and informative podcast😀.
Arne and Carlos this interview with Randi was fantastic. I love the outdoor setting it is beautiful and hearing everything in Norwegian makes me feel like I’m there with you. Also thank you for the subtitles that is a lot of hard work. Continued health and safe travels
Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful informative videos with us. What a beautiful part of the world with such interesting history and talented artisans.
Thank you ! Brilliant to watch ! Stitching bit like needle point but much more complicated! Love to have a few lessons but if Arne was in the class he would make me giggle! He’s so naughty! Xx 😘
The embroidery is just spectacular! I keep looking at Arne's sweater and the roses are so fascinating to me. Absolutely beautiful. I'm so glad this art is continuing to be taught and practiced.😍😍😍
Every single episode of this series has been a joy to watch. Lucky me in America, I get a look into the world of Setesdal and learn it’s craft history. It’s all magnificent! You had mentioned in an earlier episode, wondering if people would be bothered by subtitles. My response is no 💙. It’s more challenging to knit and read subtitles but listening to you speak Norwegian only adds more to this blissful experience. Thank you for producing the series and sharing your beautiful country.
What a lovely episode! I would love to have been sitting there with you, enjoying the company and the beautiful weather outside and practicing embroidery as well!
Another lovely episode. I have certainly enjoyed each one several times! Embroidery class would definitely be one I most likely would fail! I used to do a lot of crewel embroidery back in the 70's, but I believe much younger eyes help. As always, thank you for sharing this wonderful tradition! ❤😘
Fabulous episode! You have reminded me how wonderful it is to sit and learn embroidery from an expert. I sat with several Karen Hilltribe ladies in Thailand whilst they embroidered their traditional clothing, I had my own embroidery project with me so I pulled it out of my bag to show them. One of the most highly decorated ladies patted the floor next to her so I spent almost 3hrs with them, comparing stitches, exchanging threads and some beads too, it was joyful and fascinating! I didn’t speak Karen and they didn’t speak English but we communicated easily via embroidery. It looks like all 3 of you enjoyed spending time together too. Tak! Be well, Sally 🌹
It really was! I still use some of the threads and beads that they gave me in my freestyle embroideries 😊 Now I just have to work out how to get to Setesdal to sit on a hillside and embroider with all 3 of you 😁 Be well 🌹
That is lovely embroidery! I'd love to see a close up photo or video of the embroidery on your sweaters. I'm working (for the first time in a long time) a cross-stitch project, but it is not as intricate as the Setesdal embroidery. Good for you gents for taking it up! I hope you get to return and take the classes. Thanks again for sharing with us!
Another fantastic episode. I LOVE this series and Sit and Knit for a Bit as well. Can’t believe you haven’t gotten more 👍 and views. I so wish I could travel to Scandinavia! ❤️
Thank you. Fascinating episode. I have always wanted to learn to embroider. This was very inspirational and the beautiful farm setting just made it an experience to remember!
How delightful! Every one of the Setesdal episodes is fascinating and inspiring. I was smiling today watching Randi describe and demonstrate the embroidery stitches. My fingers are itching to start an embroidery project! Thank you so much for taking us on this journey to meet Setesdal crafters!
Really enjoyed this one. Randi seems to be a patient teacher. She'd need to be with me, I'm left handed and all fingers and thumbs. Really enjoying this series, thankyou both so much xXx
I've enjoyed all the episode and this one was wonderful as well. I want to get the book about the Setesdal embroidery as I am a big fan of all types of embroidery. Tusen takk for introducing us to this beautiful art.

I think a class with Randi would be the perfect way to spend time.
How can each episode keep getting better and better? Randi is amazing. It is so wonderful that people like her and the others that you have interviewed are keeping these beautiful crafts alive.
