Precisely 15 minutes! In a world filled with variables, this one constant adds stability!!!!!!!

As a “pandemic knitter” learner, looking for tutorials, I met these funny couple.OMG!!! In my way to my office I’m watching your old videos. And I get three in one: Knitting, english practice and lots of fun. Thanks a lot from the Basque Country.

“He must be drunk” I laughed to myself. Thank you Arne for your off the cuff conversations! I remember at the very beginning of these podcasts you didn’t talk much but boy am I glad you found your voice. I love how Carlos tries to keep the conversation train on track while Arne has so many stories to tell. The view from the window is gorgeous. And I love your drapes. I appreciate your instructions on how to gauge, block, etc. Your advice is so simple and it WORKS! I have spent alot of money on different designers’ videos on knitting in the past and your advice is the best. Us Americans tend to make everything difficult😎.The crocheted doiles are beautiful. Some of the work you showed is what my grandmother called tatting. She put her doilies on the arms of her furniture and for the headrest on chairs.

I love what Arne says…”If you love to knit…you don’t care if you have to unravel”….true that! Thank you for endorsing the common sense approach on blocking a gauge swatch ?? I’ve never understood this advice…New knitters don’t always understand this makes little sense I truly appreciate your ole school traditional knitting ways…thank you!

I am sitting in my basement listening to you while I am making quilt blocks. You are my music.

Anything goes with champagne!!!! 😂😂😂😂 Arne’s story of the fish had me in stitches!!! The view behind you is stunning and so peaceful. I can’t believe that anyone would say that “once is enough” when visiting Norway!!! And your finished embroidery is gorgeous.

I love it when Arne explains things…❤️❤️❤️😄😄😄…I have been knitting all my life…but I have tr ied many knew types of knitting because Arne is the best Continental knitter ever…

YES YES YES TO SIT AND KNIT LIVE.!!!!!!!!!

The „set“ of this SaKfaB is one of my favorite, because of the opulent drapes and the beautiful snowscape seen through the window panes with the lake and the woods in view. So lovely!

Love both. Use your imagination, Arne. We NEED to hear more stories about the bird!!!!!!!

Sit and knit for a bit live would be amazing! This is my favourite “15min” of the week. Thank you ☺️

Thank you for another great Sit and Knit for a Bit. I look forward to enjoying your chats every week!

Thrift stores are pre-loved Carlos! Arne, you keep going and find your treasures.. x

Carlos saying, “I love that place” with his Cheshire Cat grin, made me laugh and laugh (I would say “ it cracked me up” but I didn’t know if you would know what I meant, ). Love you guys!

What a great pleasure to watch your new video! Thank you so much. You bring a great joy and inspiration to me. May God bless you.

Its amazing to see the frost on those trees or bushes outside your window. Thats a lovely placid Winter view (the peaceful water of "your lake")

It's great to hear about the difference in yarns, and how the care differs. Maybe a video about various yarns, their properties, and care? Thanks for your videos...you guys are the best!

Arne, when you know who your 6th cousin is then you are part of your CLAN. That is very unusual und therefore very special.

Just want to say Thank you! I enjoy watching your videos. Also, a HUGE THANK YOU for your tutorial on your Norwegian knitting style. It has been a game changer for me and my hands.

I would love a Sit and Knit Tour in NYC!! I watch every Sit and Knit episode and I don’t knit, I am a quilter. I enjoy listening about your life, adventures, Norway and even yarn.

I love the items from your parents Carlos. I turn my grandmothers items into angels!

I love both of your sweaters!! I learn so much and enjoy your podcasts immensely.

Love my sit and knit for a bit sessions guys, so interesting and entertaining! Thank you once again 💗

Hi Guys! I was blessed to have my paternal great grandfather until I was 19. I learned so much from him.

Thank you for sharing the beautiful view out your windows of the lake and trees covered with snow. The perfect background in my opinion.

Good listening as usual. Keeps me company while walking my dogs.

As always, a wonderful episode! Thank you.

Just started one of your new Christmas Balls with the new Rowan Norwegian wool and I really like knitting with it! I made all 24 balls last year and I'm going to try and make all of them this year. Thanks for all you do. You are appreciated.

Your snow sprinkled backdrop was stunning! A Sit and Knit For a Bit with the two knitting princes tour sounds fabulous - make sure you come ‘down under’.

The completed embroidered pillow is co COOL! Always enjoy seeing the completed UFOs

What a glorious background you have! I love seeing your UFOs as well as the thrift store finds Arne finds! Love those red beetle items!

I love the background you’re creating behind the cat UFO. You’re making these UFOs into works of art with your designs. It’s so wonderful to see what you come up with.

You had snow, wow !!! I would love Sit and Knit for a Bit Live. Carlos, your crochet heritage pieces from your parents are abolutely lovely.

As I tell my knitting students, if you have to take it out and start over, you just get more knitting joy for your yarn buck.

My maternal grandmother's three sisters (my great-aunts) would come to visit her every summer in Charleston SC, where my family including my grandmother lived. I always enjoyed their visits, as each one had her own way of going. Great Aunt Manie always brought her silver tatting shuttle, and I was fascinated watching her make yards and yards of lace. I called her shuttle a "fish", because it looked like one and fishing was Aunt Manie's favorite pastime. My grandmother was a professional seamstress, and she would use Manie's lace on some of the collars, pillow cases, and table linens she made.

I so enjoy watching you two talk about anything and nothing!

LOVE the idea of Sit and Knit LIVE TOUR!!!!

Love the backdrop outside the window, stunning. Carlos your family doily collection is absolutely incredible, I love collecting those too and cannot wait to see what you are going to be doing with them. This year’s merchandise is really lovely, love all of it. And Arne those embroideries have turned out beautiful. Take care and thank you for another interesting episode.

I love Thrift Stores!!! So Glad you two share the fun!!! Thanks Guys!!

I would 100% pay to attend a live Sit & Knit for a Bit - please come visit Oregon when we've emerged from the plague!

I always love your shows, no matter what you talk about. Love the view from the window.

I too am a "pandemic knitter" and very much enjoy these podcasts. And so funny! Thank you!

Happy Wednesday with Sit and Knit for a Bit. Always love to watch you both.

the mandrill cushion is really cool! love what you're doing with the cat project too 💞

Thank you for another great sit and knit! I look forward to your sit and knit roadshow! I also LOVE the new merchandise😉

Thank you for your cheerful conversation…..it makes us cheerful too!

What a perfect scene looking out your window! Just breathtaking! And your curtains are so pretty. Carlos, your sweater compliments them even. 😃 Have a happy week!

Lagoongate! I love it. It's been too long since Porridgegate. I see a thriftshopgate in the making too 😂 Thanks for another fun Sit n Knit!!

When Arne showed his cat embroidery piece, I immediately thought of the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland

JUst watched this one. Love the snowy trees in the background - honestly fibre arts are just aligned to autumn and wintertime x

Forgot to mention…wow, those embroideries are beautiful! Can’t wait to see your next project. And Arne…go get those other bags! As it’s a thrift store, you know that there’s no guarantee it will still be there when you need it!

Another wonderful "15" minutes of fun. My old aunty (born in 1912) made a lot of crochet mats and doilies which are the little ones. I have quite a few of them, but none are so fine as yours. I love Carlos's enthusiastic face, enough to disturb us all!

I can't see wait to see what you do with your family's doilies and linens Carlos! Many times I have wanted to "rescue" lovely small knit items from thrift stores and I have thought that there *must* be a way to repurpose them in a way that still shows their beauty. I love seeing how you repurpose items - more of this please! So important as we think about reducing consumption and bringing back value to items that already exist in the world. Your creativity is most appreciated!! 😊

So much, beautiful view and sweaters! Great merchandise with beetle and tree and all! Thank you!

Omg that monkey is so beautiful. You are both so talented! The scene through the window is gorgeous.

Growing up with your GreatGrandparents is a blessing. I was 8 when my GreatGrandma passed and I remember her well. My four generations photo is a treasure.

Love your cat cushion Arne. Another fun episode. Thanks to both of you!

the view from the window with the snow and everything... looks so magical! you two live in a fairy tale! :)

I love your stories. Those stories are in your DNA.

Sit and Knit for a Bit LIVE ON TOUR?? Yes please!

Love the pillows!! Another entertaining Sit And Knit For A Bit!

I have several lace-like doilies from my grandma, so I’m looking forward to seeing what you make with yours. You both have such creative ideas! Love your podcast!

You really make my week I love sit and knit I love hearing of your adventures especially Arne in the thrift shops you are both so lovely x

I love Genealogy Arne! I have been working on my for many years, I have gotten back to the late 1700s in Scotland, early 1800s in Ireland and Germany and found out I have a little Norwegian also, probably from Viking raiders to Scotland and Ireland, but Genealogy is the best thing to do- besides knitting lol

Love the view from your window. Thank you for a great listen. 🇬🇧

oh i would love to see sit and knit when you travel again it will be fun to see the different places

Oh my goodness!! I laughed out loud when talking about going with Arne thrift (crap) store shopping! I love how kind you are to one another and always instilling the sense of humor! I get a lot of knitting done while smiling and laughing! Thanks you two!

Oh. I am dying!!!! once was enough and everything goes good with champagne!!!

Got my fire 🔥 on, candles light and a hot drink, ready to enjoy the next hour with you both. loving the view out of the window. Love a white Christmas, we don’t always get one in the uk. Love the candelabra Arne xx

Hearing Arne laugh, makes me laugh. I enjoy every episode. You bring much needed joy to the world 💙

My Mum collected together a lot of old family doilies and tablecloths that had been embroidered by my grandma/great grandma. She made them into a light pair of curtains for her craft room.... Then worried too much about the sun bleaching then out so they became a throw for over the day bed in there. It's so lovely to be able to see and appreciate these old things. Thanks for another inspiring sit and knit x

I want to go shopping with Arne! He finds treasures!

Those beautiful small lace doily's are called tatting. It's so much work to create and a craft that is dying, which is sad. I'm excited to see what you create. Most of the old pieces I have are either stained or torn and I don't have the talent to repair them. I've been decluttering a lot , so some were donated, but I kept quite a few of them, so maybe I'll steal your ideas when you present them. The view of your snow dusted lake and forested mountain area in the background is gorgeous. The water is like a mirror reflecting everything, so much so it looks unreal or like a photo, but obviously it's not. Your are so lucky to live with those beautiful surroundings. I'm glad you were able to restore the old train station building. I'm sure it was a lot of work, but to me it's looks worth it.

thanks for making my day brighter! Always fun to see the progress on the UFO's from the woman who is "either dead or blind"!!

The view out your window made me so homesick for Minnesota and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I laughed so hard at Arne and his dislike of Rockfisk😂

I really, really don't like crowds either. I love the cat embroidery - stunning. So enjoy your channel and all the fun stories. Thank you.

🤗 Hello Arne and Carlos! Love the sweaters you guys have on today! The new merch is really appealing. The scenery out the window looks so Christmasy.

The view out your window is fabulous! It looks so beautiful.

Love your 15 minute podcasts. Ha ha. Thanks so much

I think the name of the game is “Sit and WAIT for a Bit!” It’s so hard to do that, isn’t it? As human beings, we are used to feeling we have some control over our lives; COVID has changed that reality for everyone, and it has certainly been traumatic. Whatever you decide to do-live sit and knit, knitting cruises, a new yarn line-your Arne & Carlos family will gladly take that journey with you! We love you, Arne and Carlos! You’ve changed our lives for the better during these difficult times, and I, for one, am so grateful. 😘❤️🧶

Those beautiful crocheted doilies and tatted edging on handkerchiefs! My grandmother had a rectangular filet crocheted piece on the top of her upright piano and another on the buffet cupboard. Such good memories these items brought back for me.

My hay reine thanks for the sweater🧚🏿‍♀️

Such a wonderful video. I really enjoyed it. Can’t wait to see Arnie’s surprise.

Oh my goodness you have snow! I live in the state of Virginia in the USA and it is 70 degrees today. I would love looking out that window at the water and the snow....just beautiful

Thank you for your smiles and laughs. Thank you, for us big bunch of strangers, to have a safe, kind, and humorous place to come. I very much enjoy your channel. Waves 👋 from sunny Colorado!

I am with Arne and his food choices! Great stories from you both.

What fun..so entertaining today.

Your embroidery is gorgeous Arne! You should also do a moose hiding in the bushes 😉.

Really enjoy sit and knit 🧶 with you both and your stories

I just love sit and knit for a bit. Today I was crocheting a cushion for a Christmas gift and working out how to make a button band to fasten it as I can’t bear working with zips. Always love to hear what’s happening in your world. Love the new UFO Arne is working on! Take good care both xxx

Such a beautiful backdrop for this weeks “sit and knit”. I love how you always find a new little “corner” to keep us entertained. I’m so excited for the advent podcasts! ❤️

How beautiful - love your view! Love your dusting of snow - where I’m from in Scotland we’d call it a skifter lol. So enjoy your sit and knit for a bit 😊

The scenery outside the window is just beautiful. It's better than a postcard. Soothes the heart and soul. I could sit and knit and stare at that view all day.....sigh. Stinky fish...I'm with Arne. That's a big no on salty, stinky fish and anchovies. Ugh. And what's with locked stairways in America? I'm not sure. But I'm not a fan of elevators either. Claustrophobic and stairs are far better exercise anyway. I think a Sit and Knit for a bit Live Tour would be fun! And I think you need a stowaway who travels light :-) You two are so adorable. Thanks for making me smile on this Friday afternoon.

I finished one of my older UFOs yesterday - what a great feeling that is!

"there's always something we need, Carlos". Hahaha!

Yes! Sit and Knit For A Bit “The Tour”! Please come to western Massachusetts! 👏🇺🇸

The kitties are looking very stylish. I have many doilies and thrift store laces also! Looking forward to your recycling ideas

Enjoying this hour with you bot . love herring and anchovies. Hope you. Have a good evening. God bless you both and keep you safe and well.

so nice to have a break from studying and listen to your always entertaining stories!

I love the snow, but I love your curtains even more! Did you make them? Where did you get the fabric, or does the pattern have a name? Please and thank you.
