Arne and Carlos I am so very sad and heavy hearted that anyone would be harsh with either of you EVER. You both bring such joy, comfort and companionship and knowledge to SO MANY people I just am appalled that anyone feels they have anything to complain about. Just ignore them!! You are loved and appreciated very much! You don't need the complainers. I look so forward every week to sitting and knitting with you and I have so enjoyed the Setesdal videos! I also understand your feelings about your parents Carlos! It is hard to see our parents age and have the realization they will not always be here. Enjoy all the time you can with them and just love them, create memories that will last forever. I lost my dad a few months before Arne lost his Dad, and for me, it changed the way I look at life in a big way. Sending much love to you both. ♥️♥️

Just can’t say enough about how endearing you both are. The view from your greenhouse is beyond stunning 💕. Honestly, you can’t please everyone and some folks are just complainers- carry on! No subtitles needed here. Had no problems with any of the episodes…thank you for all you do.

No I don't use the closed captions at all. I think Carlos has done a wonderful job with the translation of the episodes. Thank you for all of your hard work Carlos. Your parents are indeed very, very brave. I think others are correct that caring for your mother will keep your father doing well. I lost each of my parents before they turned 60 and I miss them every day. Treasure them as much as you can. Arne is correct to be annoyed that people are blaming Carlos for the mistakes. That's not a fair thing.

Just a comment on the Closed Captions…. I tend to use CC on KZfaq, Netflix etc because my hearing is not good. I’m grateful that it exists - even with the mistakes in the auto-generated CC (which can sometimes be hilarious). However, the work that Carlos has done on the CCs from Norwegian in the Setesdal episodes has been phenomenal! So much hard work and a labour of love that has been a true joy to watch. I know that I will be rewatching the entire season. Thank you for bringing this part of your culture and heritage to a wider audience.

There will always be someone using any excuse to put others down. No fair at all but there you go. This podcast is so professional and the most heartwarming and relaxed. The effort from both of you is very commendable. ❣❣❣ I don't use the close captions. I enjoyed the Setesdals episodes listening to the spoken norwegian language - being a Dane I might have had a bit of advantage over native English speaking people but the translation was TRULY AMAZING. You didn't miss anything in the translation, tremendous job, Carlos!👏👍💪 Cool that your parents start over in Sweden! Enjoy your visits with them! Lots of lovely, Dille😃

I know how hard it is to realize that your parents are aging, but they are still able to take care of themselves and live on their own. How wonderful that they can stay in their home and have assistance when needed that is something we pay dearly for here in the US. Please don’t let them know how much you think they are not able to do for themselves. You don’t want them to give up! ❤️ them and encourage them!

I just love you guys! And the Setesdal series is phenomenal! I had the same realization about my parents last year. It is an emotional process. I am focused on making more memories while we can. I also work in healthcare. It's fortunate that your dad can care for your mom, but if possible make sure he has time for himself. Stress on caregivers is often overlooked. The youtube captions has been a problem for a lot of content creators. But it's not your fault and I'm sorry people have been mean about it. Wishing you guys nothing but the best. Hugs from Hawaii!

Please know that your 134K subscribers do not feel as the 15-20 complainers feel about your work, your translations, your interviewing, your sharing. Originally, Closed Captioning was created for the hearing impaired and in the spirit of making your work accessible to all, I hope you will keep CC turned on.

I am grateful for your work and your skilled translations.

First, thank you for your generous gift of time, teaching and love to us around the world you are so appreciated. Second, people can be so weird and ungrateful, please don't let the negative folks get you down. The folks that support, appreciate and love you far out number that miniscule minority of negativity. It was your broadcasts that gave me the courage to try knitting with your Christmas Balls and now I'm knitting socks with joyful abandon. Regarding the closed captions I tend to leave the function on as there are some podcasters (not you) where the sound is not always clear for my older ears. I have no expectation that the KZfaq algorithm is going to translate correctly. My partner and I get a kick out of some of the combinations it come up with. I would have no problem if you chose to turn the closed caption off or leave it on. I'm just thankful to learn from and enjoy your broadcasts. Also, I'm so excited that you will soon be selling yarn on your website. As a new knitter it is great to source the suggested yarn from the designer at the same time as one gets the pattern, thank you. Have a wonderful day.

SOOO grateful to Arne & Carlos for the work that they and others (Eric and Anna?) put into this channel. Thank you all!! I enjoy this channel so much that I would support Patreon episodes. English is my first language so I do not use the closed captions. GRATEFUL for Norwegian episodes that Carlos has spent all the time translating. I’ve loved hearing the Norwegian language (I do not understand a word) and following along with Carlos’ English subtitles. My mother and aunt had a knitting machine like the one shown and she would knit our skating sweaters and leggings on it back in the 70’s. I still remember the sound of her knitting on that machine. Happy to hear that Carlos’ parents are well. I was crying from him sharing his love, concerns and tears about them. So lovely to hear. Okay, that’s enough from me today. Sending good wishes to all who happen to read this. Take care.

Thank you again Arne and Carlos, for an interesting, fun and informative episode. I don't use closed captions when viewing, but know there are folks who have hearing difficulties and the ccs makes it possible for them to enjoy your shows. Carlos, your time and effort spent translating has been SO helpful and very much appreciated. Hyper criticism is easy to dole out, but your detailed messaging to those folks should help to "educate" them and nip the harsh comments. With regards to our aging parents, what I learned as my grandparents and then my parents were entering the sunset years, was to ask them lots of questions about their younger lives, memories of their own parents, grandparents, etc. and any other curiosities you may have about the time before you were born. Meanwhile, your continued love and ability to spend time with them in the here and now is a treasured gift that goes both ways.

I am sorry someone complained and discouraged you. Your videos are most appreciated and they are wonderful. The closed captioning is not necessary and I hope you will not stress about it. Thank you for all the many hours your put into your videos and as you said, they are from the heart---they are free.

Yes I watch all your programmes with subtitles and I find them very useful. I appreciate that the KZfaq auto-generated subtitles sometimes gets words wrong, but that is no big deal. I would prefer it if you kept them please. I also really appreciate that you both take time out to provide this entertaining content free of charge. Thank you.

Please listen and appreciate all of us who love and appreciate all that you do. We waste too much time in our lives worrying about how to please the complainers, when we should be happy about all the pleasure we have brought to others. You are doing a lovely job and I appreciate all you do and share.

I don’t use CC for any episodes. You did an amazing job doing the translation of the Norwegian speakers! It was so respectful of the craftspeople and it was fine for us to follow along. There will always be complainers.

So many thanks for your KZfaq channel. I do not use CC. Your English is better than mine 🇬🇧 and I’m a Brit. I wish the negative viewers would remember that all your episodes are FREE, you have many demands on your time (including making a living), and that Carlos’s translations were amazing and facilitated the services of local experts so that they could express themselves better in their own language. You bring so much to your episodes, thank you. The Setesdal series has been wonderful.

Dear Arne & Carlos, I am new to your podcasts but I am already loving them and you two so much, you are both like good friends who visit me each week for a chat. Carlos, make the most of your dear parents while you can, I'm so glad that they are nearer to you now and I wish them good luck in their new home and hope they will be happy for many more years yet. Do not worry about crying for them, it's good, it shows how much you care for them. I lost my mother two years ago and it's still painful, but when I look at all the cuttings of the plants she gave me from her garden I can see her living on through them. Much love to you all xx

I really wanted to say that I was incredibly touched by what you said about your parents, Carlos. It must be so nice to have them closer now, but the emotion of not seeing your parents for more than 2 years must have been immense. I shed a tear for you. Your parents will be so pleased to be nearer to you too.

I have so appreciated you taking us on the Setesdal journey, and the translations Carlos has done are great. It’s very respectful to the craftspeople to speak with them in Norwegian when they are most comfortable with their own language. I am a native English speaker and don’t use the KZfaq-generated English subtitles, and believe you shouldn’t worry about doing anything to “clean them up”. You take the time to share your lives with us and that is a gift. Thank you, Carlos, for also sharing your feelings about your parents aging. It so resonated with me as my mother is 95 and now in memory care; I live in a different country and am fortunate we can still use video Skype every so often to visit (and grateful for a kind nurse who facilitates this at my mother’s end). You both are a blessing to us! Thank you!

Sometimes I watch your English episodes with English subtitles (the CC function), but it's not a problem, when some of it isn't correctly. It doesn't matter ❤️. I understand the meaning. You two do a great work, and I watch almost every episode from you. Especially "Sit and knit for a bit". Big hug to you Carlos ❤️.

Wonderful to see your knitting machine and to hear you describe it as an art form in its own right. I’m a machine knitter and it really is a whole other craft and art to learn. I am fascinated with how the Setesdal sweaters have always been knitted on a machine going back to the mid 1800’s. Thanks for sharing the Norwegian way of knitting and I hope lots of people find your videos on you tube to help learn the Norwegian way to knit and keep those techniques alive for future generations.

Stay safe and well both of you and thank you for all your wonderful videos 🥰🥰

I use CC just as a back up for the English episodes, I find the you tube translation errors more funny than annoying. Also the high quality of the translations for the Norwegian episodes are obvious. Carlos has done an excellent job. I really like the colour of blue of Arnes brioche jumper that he's working on. Thanks for another interesting episode. You guys are great!

Thank you both for the time and effort you put into your Setesdal episodes. I greatly appreciate your labor of love. Carlos, your translation was very helpful. I especially enjoyed when you and your guests spoke in Norwegian. What a beautiful language. Arne, I’m sure this trip into your history was a blessing. The entire series has been so authentic, personal and rich in culture and arts. I have learned so much. I hope you consider doing something similar in the future. This deep dive into Setesdal has been fascinating.

Hello Arne and Carlos!! Thank you for your amazing channel! About CC, I think that any person that has been on KZfaq for more than 10 minutes knows that the subtitles are machine generated... so it's obvious it can't be very accurate. I'm from Argentina and as English is not my mother tongue, I normally use CC knowing that is not precise, but it still helps me to learn more English. Thank you Carlos for the translation you have made!! I absolutely loved every episode, I have learnt so much about your wonderful culture. Without your work I couldn't have watched it. I hope you'll soon have millions of subscribers! Your channel has a stunning quality and we can appreciate that you put a lot of love in what you do and share, thank you again! 💞 🤓🤓💞
