Hi everyone!
It’s good to be here again! As most of you already know, I tested positive for COVID-19 after becoming seriously ill on March 26th. The reason I was tested in the first place was that I was so sick, that the doctors were considering admitting me to hospital. I have since recovered from the virus but am now suffering from Post Viral Syndrome and will remain on sick leave until May 17th, as I am still very weak and can’t do much right now. But, I am feeling better and better every day and hope that I’ll be able to be back at full speed from May 18th!

This week, on our YouTube Channel, we are doing it podcast style! We’ve just released a new floral crochet throw that we are calling Astri and in our podcast, we talk about what has been going on in our lives lately, while Arne crochets a flower. I was so happy that I was able to take part in this podcast, which was recorded a few days ago. Please keep in mind that this not a tutorial, just some crochet radio, where you can sit in your favourite spot and join us for a while. See the podcast here:

So glad to see you up & smiling Carlos!
Happy to see you are getting back to good health. Have missed you both.
So happy to see you on the mend, Carlos. Just grabbed Truls and Astri to celebrate!
Thank you for the health updates. So glad you are recovering and to see you smile Carlos! Arne, you are a huge inspiration and so glad you are well! This is a lovely throw with a very appropriate name. Much continued health and wishing you all the best. You both are doing all of the patterns for all of us, when you could just stop and take time off. You are amazing people who care about so many. Hugs to you from California.
Plenty of porridge now
Glad you are recovering..the blanket looks good on you- blooming!!
My eyes are sweating! I am so happy you are on the mend! I feel like I have spent as much time with you guys, and the Quarintene knitters as I have with my own family members!
So glad you are up and about again. Take time to recover. I will look forward to seeing you both on your new podcast in May ♥️
So good to hear that you are on the mend Carlos. Looking forward to seeing you both soon. Have missed you.
Take care
So glad to see you up and about! Just take it easy , and get plenty of rest!
Love the flowers in your blanket! I purchased a few of your books, and I’m going to start the granny square butterfly pattern ! ( I was in college when the granny squares really were trending here in the US, so they really are still a favorite with me! ) Just have to get some more yarns gathered together from my stash!
Both of you take care !
Goed je te zie in goede gezondheid en doe rustig aan , lieve groetjes uit België
Hurrah! Great to see you back, take it easy x
So happy to see you recovering. We have all missed you so much.
I am so glad to hear that you are starting to feel better and I am looking forward to the podcast this week. Thank-you to both of you for doing these podcasts during this difficult time. It brightens my day, and I know that many others feel the same.
I am so sorry you became ill. And I am super glad you are on the mend. Bless you both for being so positive and love to you both. So excited about your new pattern release, always in the mood for a new blanket. Best wishes that you will soon feel your old self again.
So good to see you up and around! You were greatly missed, Carlos, but we know Arne was right by your side with love and support. 💕
So glad to see you are feeling better! I’m sure Arne took good care of you!
Yaaaay! You’re back!! I missed you both so much. I’m relieved to hear that you’re on the mend Carlos. I also had that extreme fatigue after I had the virus. My energy returned in “spits and spurts” meaning I’d get a burst of energy one day for a few hours and get a lot done, then I’d be exhausted the next day. I know now that I overdid it. Anyway, this tiredness could last a few weeks, so try not to worry or push yourself like I did!
I drink a smoothie made with 3 kale leaves (no stems-yuck!), 1 cup of frozen blueberries, and half of a banana for sweetness (sometimes I used stevia if I didn’t have banana) and cold water. I think it helped me get better. It tastes good! I’d also squeeze in some lime juice because I love lime!
I’ve never sent such a long comment. Sorry about that. You two have helped me immeasurably during this quarantine…..Thank you! I sat in my living room this morning clapping and crying happy tears when I heard you say you’d continue the KAL into May! Best always, Lisa

It’s good to see you about and about, Carlos. My wife is watching the YouTube video in the room next door even as I type this.
Positively gleeful that you are starting to feel better.
So glad you’re feeling a bit better Carlos. Look after yourself, and don’t try to do too much too soon! Sending you & Arne virtual hugs from a sunny Watford (uk). xx
I am so glad that you are feeling better, Carlos. Take care.
And I am going to watch the new podcast about the flower crochet.
God speed you guys🤗. So excited to hear that you are back in good health. Stay positive and take
your D’s & C’s in👏 Cannot wait too see how you are going to make a blanket with these
special swatches❤️❤️
☀️🥛🌶🎉
I wonder if you two know how much you have given us? (Rhetorical) Thank you! Post viral syndrome IS nasty… a shower can be your work for the day. Especially if the illness was in the respiratory system. (Registered nurse from Seattle) PS during the original Quarantine knitting, you mentioned some shirts had shrunk in the wash. I imagine they are loose now 🙃 Glad you are on the mend and Arne, I have missed your giggle.
Yay Carlos! You’re back to being in the world again. I’m so happy to see you again. I’m happy to see Arne as well, and I’m so glad he didn’t kill you with his cooking. Arne, I’m so curious how you kept from getting the coronavirus, but I’m so glad you weren’t both infected, especially at the same time. Take it easy and take care. Thank you for keeping in touch with us all. xox
Hooray, so glad to hear from you. It will be good when you are fully recovered and look forward to that day. Don’t rush, none of us are going anywhere.
It’s wonderful to see you up and posing for the camera with smile on your face. I bet Arne is taking very good care of you.
~sending sunshine your way
Wonderful news to hear you are on the mend!
I wish the best of health for everyone! 🙂
I wanted to leave a comment to express my gratitude to both Arne and Carlos and their team for continuing to post updates during all of this. Your dedication to your work, clients and fans is remarkable and inspiring. The care and the time you have put into your website and YouTube channel is truly appreciated all over the world.
Many thanks for all you do.
Oh boy, that is good news. Thank you for sharing, and all the best for speedy full recovery.
I meant to add….I should be able to get knitting done by mid May!! Ha ha😂
Thank God, you are back again and in good health.
I missed you both.
Hej Begge 2❤️❤️
Ønsker jer alt det bedste i verden. Tak for mange gode strikkestunder og inspiration. Rigtig god bedring til dig Carlos – håber Arne forbliver rask.
Kærligste tanker fra Jonna Løkke Andersen(Danmark)
Carlos, you look great! So glad to hear that you are feeling better. I have missed you and Arne on your podcasts. Can’t wait for my husband to go to bed, so I can sit back and watch the two of you knit, crochet and visit.
It’s so nice to see that you are feeling better, may you continue to feel stronger every day. The crochet blanket is so pretty and cheerful. I enjoy watching your podcasts, thank you so much for sharing.
Hooray! I must say you look good, especially for a man who has been battling such a vicious virus. Can’t tell you how glad I am that your story didn’t end in tragedy. You’ve made my day!
Carlos, your circumstances have scared me. I wish you well and hope your recovery is very fast and permanent. Best wishes. Nan. In Mi. USA
So heartwarming to hear and see the two of you in (almost) full force! Love the pattern! Lots of love to you both, my dears.
I hope you continue to improve. Interesting that the virus didn’t show up for so many weeks after you returned from the ship. Does Arne have to do any thing special since her was with you.
Hi Carlos, My husband also tested positive for Covid-19 and was hospitalized.He came home Easter Sunday. I am considered presumptive positive. I am an avid knitter and watch you videos frequently. Have been following your quarantine daily podcast but had to quite when my husband became sick. Glad you are in the recovery mode . Take it easy and be well!
Yahoo! I’ve been so worried. Welcome back!!
Hallelujah – Praise God! I feel like actually dancing – I’m so happy to see you both again ! At first I thought the video was pre-recorded since it is Sunday – then holy cow ! It’s new – YAY!
Maybe Arne can crochet Carlos a zippered cardigan sweater/jacket in the new flower blanket pattern — because it looks FANTASTIC on him/you! The colors are just incredible, lively, and vibrant – just like a new beginning for spring. What does “life after Covid” look like? it looks like LIFE!!!!
The new Carlos = crazy beautiful colors! no more gray for you!!!!
Arne: throw out all his gray clothes on trash day before he gets up in the morning ! 😀
welcome back you two! we all were praying hard…so glad they were answered so quickly.
much love and hugs, cathy (near Niagara Falls NY)
Wonderful that you are back!
Wonderful to hear you are on the mend Carlos, hoping for a full recovery for you. Do not work too hard while in recovery and eat good old fashioned chicken soup.
Arne & Carlos,
It has been so delightful to see and hear the two of you during your first podcast after your illness Carlos. Welcome back into our world. Carlos, you looked and sounded like your old self. I know you are anxious to be active, to be out and to do things, but be patient with yourself and listen to your body. It will guide you.
Arne, make Carlos some of your delicious Norwegian waffles. I think he will enjoy them.
I look forward to watching your podcast on the 22nd.
Bless you both…Gail
So happy you are feeling better. Hopefully you will recover from the PVS.soon.as well. I discovered your podcast while being in quarantine here in Kalamazoo Michigan and was inspired by your tutorials to learn to knit. (I have been a crocheter for 5 yrs.) I look forward to watching your videos daily while I play with yarn here at home. Thank you for your teaching, your dedication to your fans, and your beautiful talent as well as your heart. Get well soon.
So glad to hear you are recovering.
All the best to you.
Please sell your latest patterns on Ravelry! I’ll be waiting! Thank you so much!
You two are so wonderful, so thankful that you are feeling better.
Best and warm wishes from Marblehead, MA.
THANK GOODNESS YOU ARE BACK.
Ian and I have “hung” on every word .
Take it easy guys and let that jigsaw help the hand, mind coordinationand let your brain explore your amazing creativity.
I was worried about the cooking……..
Hugs WAH in Oz.x
Get well…vitamin d,a,and c… lockdown in the usa..get out as much as possible..of course safely..interested in a new top down cardigan..Lys will play a big part in acquiring the needed supplies..Be well….
I am so glad you are healing Carlos, pray for everyone in the world. Very happy you rest.
So happy you’re doing well Carlos and pray your strength and any other post-virus symptoms recover quickly!
Looking forward to more podcasts!
I hope this bad nasti will live you alone for ever
Oh this has made my day, I am so glad you are getting better Carlos xxxxxxxxx stay safe
Carlos I am so Happy so happy you are getting better and better each day. Arne I just want to give you great big Hugs for being there for Carlos just him knowing you were there I am sure helped him get through such a trying time..Thanks to the healthcare system that let you know how to get through this virus…I admire you both so much you both have helped out knitting world in such away we could never repay you..With much love for you both…Stay safe and keep healing.
Glad you are more well than you were, Carlos, but if you have Post Viral Syndrome, whatever you do, don’t be pressured into doing too much too soon! Make very sure that you take the time to get well again at your body’s own pace, regardless of pressures put on you by other people or yourself, whether real or imagined. If you don’t recover properly now, with lots of rest (even if it is horribly boring!) and fresh healthy nutritious food, you could be affected by Post Viral Fatigue for the rest of your life. Do only half of what you feel able to do; increase your activity by very small increments — think 10% only — and cosset yourself for a few months. It will mean extra work for Arne for a time, but to get you back to full strength, it’s worth it. (I say all this as I have had PVFS for many years, due to trying to speed my recovery from flu in the 1980’s, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.) Take care of yourselves, be sensible, and be blessed. K
I’ve been very worried about you! This was wonderful news to hear, you made my day. Stay well!
Hello Arne and Carlos I am somewhat new to your programs or podcast tutorials whatever you want to call them but I think you guys are so awesome I don’t crochet just love to watch you guys talk LOL, I am a Quilter and I found you guys when I was looking for crazy block quilting you guys inspired me to do more of the crazy blocks I love quilting I have a lot of quilts that I Have made and gifted. I was so sorry to hear that you had gotten sick with the coronavirus but thankful you are doing all right and getting better love your latest video or podcast LOL
So glad you are up and improving! Continue with taking care of yourself don’t push it! I have noticed just how weak my patients are after we get them out of critical care!!!! Sending ongoing prayers and blessings for you and for Arne!! Let Arne do the cooking for a while lol! Or maybe order in premise meals!
So very very happy to see you looking healthy and well again Carlos! Please take your time in recovering fully.
Sending the warmest regards for you and Arne too.
Blessings on you both.
Tere
What a relief to know Carlos is recovering and you are both home taking care of yourselves and each other. Hope you found a great jigsaw puzzle. Watch out for giant garlic!
So glad you are recovering. I’m a new fan and appreciate your podcast, patterns and the spirit you share. Take care of yourselves. Roz
So glad you’re better, Carlos. Astrid seems such an appropriate name for this new blanket. My husband’s family is a very old Norwegian family, and Astrid is a family name that goes back many centuries and now belongs to our 7-year-old granddaughter. However, I think it is appropriate for the blanket because Astrid was one of the Valkyries whose role was to come down to earth among the wounded and choose who lived or died on the battlefields. And Corona is certainly a battlefield!
Stay well!
Get well Carlos, glad you are doing so much better. Oh Arne you done a wonderful job in taking care of him, xxx
So glad you are doing well Carlos. I’m sure it’s a relief for Arne as well. Cheers and wishing you a very speedy recovery.
So happy that you’re well on your way to being recovered Good thoughts and prayers are with you.
I am so happy you are in the mend. I have been making the flowers. The hard part was putting them together.
So glad to see that Carlos is well, and to have you and Arne back with us. I’m looking forward to the continuation of the Quarantine Knitting podcasts. The crochet blanket is very pretty. I prefer to knit, though.
Yay, Carlos!! So glad you are feeling better ☺️
Oh my gosh so happy to see you wrapped in that blanket of love and flowers. Knitting is my love but this makes me want to crochet a blanket of love like this one!!! Take care of yourself. Don’t push it!! Love you guys!! gail
Trop contente que vous alliez mieux à mercredi pour la suite de notre projet commun bon rétablissement
So very happy to learn you are on the mend, Carlos and that Arne didn’t get sick too. I’ve thought of you often during this challenging time, wondering if you both were ok, and thinking about how much you’ve uplifted people with your inspiring and entertaining quarantine knitting podcasts. I’ve just now finished my 18 squares and have assembled them to make into 2 cushions. I’ll have fond memories of you, Arne & Carlos, each time I see the cushions on my sofa.
With gratitude,
Patti -from South Carolina, USA
From across the pond. My family, and the only female.., like most, I feel the anxiety of your current situation. You have both been my saviours, kept me sane. You are now part of my family too.
Oh Carlos, you look so good! I’m so glad you are feeling better. I love your radio podcasts. They are my favorites. I get my knitting and sit with you guys. Take care, love and hugs to you and Arne, and sweet little Freya. (I live in Cabot, Arkansas, USA.)
So glad to hear you are on the mend Carlos! But do give yourself time. Like Lisa said, it took me about 6 weeks to get my energy back and feel completely normal. We are cheering you on!
Welkom terug in deze wondere wereld. Lieve groet voor jullie allebei.
Such good news to wake up to, and so glad to hear you are getting better Carlos. Have been thinking of you, over these last weeks.
Keep resting and a 🤗🤗 to you both.
So glad you’re on the mend! Hope you will soon feel much stronger, Carlos!
So glad to see you Carlos! Mille auguri
Hi guys I was just wondering how you get the colors card paper for yarn colors. I would love to choose my colors by looking at the combination swatches. Do you have them for purchase?
So glad to hear you are on the mend Carlos. The CORVID-19 virus 🦠 is nasty and affects people in so many different ways. Please take it easy for the sake of your health
thank you for letting us know how you’re holding up now, and so good to hear that you’re slowly recovering from the serious stage! We’re so glad to see both of you again, but please don’t make haste because of us. We Are As Always, Arnes&Carlos’ fans 🙂 And of course, we should really appreciate all the healthcare workers’ hard working. They are big heroes!
So relieved! Just take it slowly, plenty of tea, dog stroking and soup….probably in that order. Running short of yarn for gloves with fingers. Friend is willing to have little finger amputated ‘caus only uses it when drinking tea from posh cups and cleaning ears! Much love. Pam
I am curious to know What Arne has been cooking for you…. !! I hope you are soon back to your good health .. don.t rush anything..xx
So happy to see that you are both in such good spirits again , Carlos, give your recovery time, stay the course.
I loved your podcast with the little bantering today and may I also say how much more comfortable Arne is speaking English, I loved your funny comments while trying to keep track of the crochet pattern. Love the little talks, I’m right there with you.
Christina
May your recovery be speedy and complete. So sorry you caught this terrible virus, and I hope Arne stays safe. ❤️ Arlen (mother of a dr working at a major hospital in Manhattan, NY USA

What a beautiful surprise to see your smiling faces again. So glad to see Carlos up and about again. We really missed you here at our house.
Love your shopping list, hot dogs and pizza. Stay well you two. You are the calm in this storm.
You look good. I am happy for you. Beautiful, colorful blanket that will enlight our environment. Big hug to both of you from Québec City.
So glad to hear you are feeling a little better each day. And as much as I am enjoying your videos, patterns and both of you, as a new subscriber, your health is more important. All of us have plenty of yarns and wip to keep busy. So don’t rush it. Waving ‘hi’ to Arne.
So good to see you back but do not overdo things and rest up; let Arne cook.
So happy to hear that you are feeling better Carlos – just don’t try to rush your recovery. Take your time and make sure you’re 100% before you do too much. It’s a relief that Arne didn’t get it too! Take good care of each other.
So glad that you are feeling a little better. Take it carefully for a full recovery. Nx
Sorry to hear about your ordeal, and glad to hear that you are returning to health! We remain grateful for your kindness in Kirkenes.
So glad you are getting better everyday
Stay strong
So very happy that you are on the mend Carlos! Arne must be an excellent care giver. We have missed you but so very glad you did not have to go to the hospital. I was on the cruise March 1-10 and luckily I have not had any symptoms. Please continue to recover. We want you back 100%.
On another note will we be able to see the group picture that was taken on the ship? Would love to see it and reminisce what a wonderful time we all had. What was the 1 Norwegian word you told us at one of your lectures to remember?
Love and miss both of you,
So happy for you and Carlos that you are on the mend from thus dreadful virus. May each day be a stronger one for you. Stay safe snd stay well and healthy. Enjoying the square patterns and using my stash!

Thank you so much for all that you’ve done for us knitters/crocheters during this worldwide quarantine!! You’re inspiring!! Love and prayers to you both!
So very happy you are on the mend. Be patient with yourself during your recovery. I’m sure Arne will keep you in line! Looking forward to Wednesday. Blessings…
Thank you for the podcast today I have laughed out loud especially about Arne’s terrible cooking and adding a whole garlic bulb to the recipe!!!! so funny xxxx
So VERY HAPPY that you are on the mend and that Arne is still feeling well!
Now…..just don’t OVERDO! Still rest up & continue to eat properly! We all love the both of you & need you both in our lives! GOD VELSIGNE!!
So pleased that you are back and on the mend x
Carlos you look like you feel better, unless this is an older photo. Either way, I hope you continue to heal, and that Arne is keeping his own health up. You both are so loved that I know neighbors are helping you out as much as you will allow, bringing groceries, leaving care packages at your door. Thank you for all you do to keep our spirits up, and keep our creativity blossoming, (pun intended!) with your lovely new floral crochet. You make every week brighter and more fun in my world!
take lots of vitamin c and d-3!
Beth Altimari
Wonderful seeing you both today. I’m not a crocheter but still enjoy watching you while I knit. You both make me smile in these dismal times. Keep up the good work. Carlos, you look great but please don’t push yourself into a relapse.
So very happy you are feeling better Carlos. Thank you Arne for taking care of him.

This is the best news I’ve heard all day! 😀 I am so glad to hear you are getting better, Carlos, and I am sure all of your lovely fans are more than happy to hear about this news. I have been listening to your quarantine podcasts non-stop since the debut of the pandemic. They truly are a sunshine in my days. Virtual hugs from a fan in Montreal, Canada! xoxo!

So sorry to hear of your illness Mary J
So happy you are back,take good care of you, Carlos. I love your videos and posts
Contente que vous alliez mieux continuez à prédire soin de vous et à bientôt

Thank you for the update. Glad you are on the mend. Take care of yourself
So glad you are better & back with us again, looking forward to Wednesday & your video
So happy to see Carlos on the road back into good health! I’m still doing my patches after a long day of working from home. I don’t think I could do a blanket though, no patience fo all the joining. 😀
Ravie de vous revoir, et de vous savoir sorti de cette terrible maladie. Je suis avec attention la reprise, vous verrez que nous avons été sages et avons bien travaillé en votre absence!
I’m so happy that you are feeling better. My prayers are lifting to the heavens that you will be fully recovered soon.
I am sticking with the pillows. I will never get 96 patches done. Can you tell us how to knit the back of the pillows? I don’t have a clue how to do it. Thanks.
So thankful that you are both doing well and much better now. I was praying. I found an article on you in Vogue Knitting Holiday 2011, Collector’s Issue that I recently purchased from Lion Brand and was glad to see it. It was a back issue. Title was Deck the Halls. Have a great day/life.
Hi: Just discovered your squares and am looking forward to listening to your Podcasts. I like to do double sided knitting. I have watched your YouTube tutorial and I realize that I use the slow technique.
Carlos: I am sorry that you have been sick and hope that you will give yourself the needed time to recover. I am coping with the side effects of cancer treatment. I know what it feels like to be so tired that it is an unbelievable effort to move.
I love looking at the pictures of both of you including photos of the new blanket you just designed. Thanks for brightening this difficult time of isolation. Lois Elman
Hope you are still recovering and resting as needed. Thank-you so much for doing the knit-a -long and sharing the patterns .
It has been enjoyable and achievable even if some of us have done just a few squares for a scarf or cushion.
For nearly everyone no matter the country the uncertainty and anxiety is difficult to deal with .Many like you have had to self-isolate in order to be safe and do the right thing. Look after yourselves and thank-you for all the joy the knitting has brought.
In Australia the cold weather has just arrived …….
I am so pleased you are on the mend Carlos – I am sure Arne and Freya took great care of you! I am gradually knitting the squares and MUST learn to crochet. You are both shining lights. XXX
What good teachers you are b/c by telling us about your experience we can learn so much.
How nice to learn that you are on the mend. Good news is so welcome these days. Well done Carlos.
The ongoing saga about porridge is something that keeps me “tuned in” so please don’t withhold any stories about the “drama”.
….which grain (oats? wheat? barley? corn? rice? millet?buckwheat?… triticale?– so many choices)
….or which toppings (brown sugar? maple syrup? fruit? peanut butter? Nutella? nuts? shredded coconut? molasses?)
or which technique…
Seriously, John, Alice and I are so grateful that you two do what you do and that you survived this
COVID-19 nightmare. We remain at home, sheltering in our home in NY, and are sending you thoughts of healing and love. Karen Koziol RN
Hi Arne and Carlos. I have been watching your you tube shows for a few months and I enjoy them very much. I am so glad that you have recovered from the virus. Relax and regain your strength. Looking forward to watching your daily quarantine podcasts. I have not started the squares yet as I have too little yarn at the moment, and we are also lockdown here in south africa, but as soon as I can yet to my local yarn shop I am going to buy yarn. Thinking of making the pillow . Thank you for the lovely patterns.
Glad to see you did get better, take it easy and get your energy back, love your Podcasts!!!!
It is wonderful to see that you are in the mend. I have purchased the pattern for the Astrid crochet throw. I am very rusty in crochet techniques. It would be very nice to have a SLOW (Arne is so fast even when he tries to be slow!) demonstration of making a flower. Somehow my attempts always look different compared to the intended one! Thank you so much
How about “Arne & Carlos United Together Podcast”
I am glad you are getting better, but please take it slowly! Pushing too hard can cause serious setbacks.
There is a supplement called Co-Q10 which helps your body rebuild its supply of ATP, a chemical released by your mitochondrial cells as the power for your muscles. It can help you recover stamina after being very sick. BUT please do your own research on it and ask your doctor.
Hi Arne and Carlos this is a lovely pattern to use up your stash and I’m enjoying making the flowers. Has anyone else commented on the joining pattern? The first round after the completed flower, to give the edging to the flower, is firstly quite difficult to understand and then very fiddly. Do you think you could do a podcast to show how you do it?
Dear Carlos- much love and many virtual hugs from NZ – busy knitting your sock yarn teddy bear for my great nephew. Love the colours and joy in your work. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
