Please consider doing a monthly Sit and Knit. Perhaps at the end of the month as a catch up of what you all have been up to that month. I listen while I knit and have coffee with you! I will always be so grateful for the commitment you made during the pandemic to keep me (us) company. You helped normalize a very scary time and you will be forever part of my knitting family for that reason. Thank you both, so much.

Omg please DO NOT eliminate Sit & knit. I love these 15 minutes with you!!!

I know that life will start to change but Sit and Knit for a Bit is my favorite! I love it more than anything else you’ve done except maybe your longer cooking segments. Your tutorials are helpful and patterns are wonderful but I think you really shine and connect with people during Sit and Knit. I think it’s what makes your channel special and unique. A taped tutorial isn’t comparable in any way. I hope you can continue it as much as possible as the more Arne and Carlos, the better. And I’d pay to watch you two! ;)

A suggestion for 2022: If you start traveling the way you did before, perhaps you now and then could film people, crafts and artisans you encounter when you’re on the road. I loved the Setesdal series!

Please don’t stop doing “something and/or nothing “ type videos - in my opinion they are the most creative. Anything similar you can do would be greatly appreciated. Style and lifestyle tutorials would be fabulous!!! Showing your UFOs, for example, is so interesting. Showing rooms and talking about your house and garden is so interesting. If I could, I would love to move to Norway - I am in NY and have grown to love so many things, traditions, etc about your country. You both are the most entertaining and have the best show that I watch on television every week!!

Please continue sit and knit for a bit - we love it so much and look forward to every Wednesday!!

Would definitely miss my weekly visits with you during Sit and Knit for a Bit but whatever format you decide you can manage to share your lives with us would be welcome.

I hope sit and knit won’t go away entirely. I look forward every week to seeing you two. How about “On the road with Sit and Knit “. Or “on the road with Arne & Carlos”.

Sit and Knit for a Bit never fails to improve my mood. Thank you for being such reliable KZfaq friends.

Sit. And knit is a completely different way of learning about Norway. Don’t get rid of it completely just as you are both getting so comfortable doing it. I’m a beginner knitter and I kinda glaze over when you start talking about really complicated patterns etc. but I love the stories “knit” into the patterns. And oh yeah we have to keep learning how your dogs are doing, how the garden is blooming, craft projects, hunters, genealogy, whether the fireplace was worth it, etc.

Arne is a good storyteller and Carlos knows how to maintained an interest conversation. One never get bored and wish to have more of both of you. And as always your knitting is fabulous. God bless!!

YES. More lifestyle videos and keep Sit and Knit for a Bit once a month, please! I love it :)

Will watch whatever you decide to do. Enjoy knitting,crocheting Genealogy and Norwegian folklore and History. Thank you from us shut-Ins🥰🇨🇦, Sharon.

We want you to continue with something. You need to decide what that looks like. Your travels, your day to day, your genealogy, Norway, your knitting. You’ve helped all of us through a very scary time in history. Thank you. All Is good.

I love the idea of using your Wednesday time slot for cooking, gardening, crafting, genealogy, etc. in 2022. Perhaps the last Wednesday of each month could be a traditional Sit and Knit for a Bit. I always look forward to seeing what you've been up to since you are two of my favorite people!

Still loving S&KFAB. The saying goes, "all good things must come to an end", but I'm so happy to hear that your podcasts will continue. Understandably, you are anxious to return to your pre-Covid activities but it will be a loss for those of us who look forward to each and every one of your podcasts, tutorials, and all the other special things you do to make our world a happier place. Over the past many months Covid has cast a terrible dark shadow over the world but you made it easier when you began your daily podcasts and your fans are incredibly grateful to you for that. So, whatever you decide to do as you move on with your lives and careers, I wish you health, happiness, and success. Nevertheless, the more the better is my opinion when it comes to Arne and Carlos podcasts. Love the new stocking and super excited to watch the Christmas countdown!

What a way to spend a dark, rainy cold evening, I could listen to you both for hours. Your both so knowledgeable, interesting and entertaining. Love the Bird story, like to hear more. Best wishes to you both xx

I enjoy watching your broadcast twice a week, here in Alberta Canada things will not be opening up any time soon. Living out here in rural Alberta it very nice to be able to watch you guys every week. I have been knitting for about 70 years but I'm still learning new things, like Norwegian purl. Keep up the good work. Doris

As a sufferer of anxiety and depression...and with no idea how to knit ....I find you very relaxing to watch and your life and stories so much fun...I could watch you guys for hrs ..I know you guys have a life but your weekly sit and knits bring a smile to so many peoples lives

I so enjoy Wednesdays with you both. I hope you will keep up the episodes even if you have to change them to once a month. You would be very missed. I love being home and watching you is part of my routine. You have been a light shining bright in a crazy time of an unbelievable pandemic.

I too love "Sit & Knit for a Bit"! I do hope that when you can't do it every week you'll still be able to do it each month. Releasing some vlogs from your travels may help fill in the void left by not having it some weeks. I love hearing the family stories, the interviews, & the histories of places you go. It's new and fascinating. Thank you for being so open & supporting us through the pandemic!

Very interesting Arne you must continue with this story. Fascinating. We all do have special characters in our family tree. Sit and knit one's a month sound fine.There will come a time that you need to continue your life. I personally want to thank you. For what you have done for us. Your channel was for me personally a great support through the dark times.

I am going to add my voice to the chorus of voices saying please don’t eliminate Sit and Knit. I enjoy seeing your works in progress, the dogs, your garden and so many good stories and things to learn about life in Norway. I found your channel a few months ago and have become a regular viewer based on the Sit and Knits which engage me more than a tutorial. So I understand that you cannot keep it up when you travel but please do them whenever you can. I live in the US and cannot imagine being back to normal next year. Sadly we have not been as good as Norway has regarding getting vaccinated and it is slowing down our recovery. But you guys are helping so much and are giving us so much so thank you for all you do!

Please keep the podcasts coming. Once a month or after one of your trips. Just to keep in touch. Love your stories and hearing about Norway.

I really love hearing your stories about everything, even normal routine staff. So, try to keep the Sit and Knit format to the extent possible, please! Even when you travel, you could just film your chatting about what and where. I am in California and hope to see you when you travel to the States. I am not a great knitter, but I love to learn about new techniques.

I really enjoy Sit and knit, today I was hand sewing binding on my quilt as I listened and watch. Hopefully, in 2022 you will be able to continue even if it’s a monthly while you travel or get busy doing other things. I really enjoy your gardening, cooking, knitting, history talks and your two beautiful dogs. We need you two more than just Sundays lol. Love seeing your house decorated for Christmas, it’s gives me such a warm cozy feeling. Stay safe and see you Sunday. 🧶🧶🇨🇦

I enjoy your channel very much and “sit and knit for a bit” especially since you talk about a variety of topics from lifestyle, family history, your garden, Norwegian history and customs, crafting, etc. When we are blessed to be able to travel freely again, would you consider “going live” on KZfaq occasionally (maybe on Wednesdays) from wherever you are in the world?

I love Sit and Knit for a Bit! I will watch for as long as you continue!

I sit and crochet with you. I absolutely love your company and feel I've gotten to know you both. Please keep the slot 🙏 xx

Oh I will miss your weekly podcasts when you start traveling. Maybe you could do a monthly podcast. I’ve learned so much about Norway from your podcasts. You two are a joy to watch.

I hope that's Sit and Knit for a Bit can continue in 2022. I was not in lock down for a year as I'm an essential worker so this weekly series along with the Sunday tutorials kept me going and became as my family. I'm not even a knitter. I admire your talents and dedication. I get inspiration from your unfinished projects, your design process, your lifestyle, cooking, local travel and day to day life in Norway. I have much gratitude for your hard work on your channel. Thanks

I love sit and knit. I wait every week for the evening I get to spend watching you two. I love it. Please don’t stop.

Noooooooo keep sit and knit for a bit!! it is our favorite. My friends and I wait for it. Even a quick pop in when your on the road to do the best you can. We LOVEEE it.

I love those mini-sweaters! My husband and I do something similar for advent….but we actually write a clever clue on a piece of paper and the paper goes into the small drawer (in your case the sweater). The clue is for where the gift is hidden somewhere in our house! - I know this might sound silly….but it has become the part of Christmas that we look forward to the most! Lots of laughter….because the clues are so much fun! The actual advent gifts are always small, inexpensive things. Every morning begins with a silly clue, and it is a great way to start the day! ~

Sit and Knit has been such good kntting company and I always look forward to it. I understand your need to switch things up and your idea of once a month is fine with me. I trust that you will come up with something new, that is fun, informative and creative. Thank you for all that you do for the knitting/craft community.

Oh, i love your podcast on wednesdays, but i understand that in future with more travelling it could be more difficult, but perhaps once in each month it is feasible. I hope so :)

Hello Arne and Carlos. Hope you keep doing Sit and Knit for a bit every Wednesday. I look forward to these episodes. Love your chats about whatever you want to share. Hope gou are having a wonderful day. God bless you both and keep you safe and well.

Hello from “The Big Sky Country” (Montana). I so enjoy every one of your “Sit & Knit for a Bit”. You 2 have taught me so much and hope you will continue in the future.

You are both delightful to spend time with! Thank you so much. Arne I love seeing your many creative projects!

Oh please don't stop doing Sit and Knit for a Bit!!!! I love watching them! 💖

Maybe sit and knit when you are home in Norway - when you are traveling we will just have to miss you! And look forward to when you come home!

What a wonderful visit with you this week. I actually knitted. Often, I just watch. I have started a scrap project that doesn't require me to pay attention much, just to have my hands knitting something. You may need a break from one more thing in your busy schedule but we will never be sick of you. I think that if it's not too much for you, what if you just did Sit and Knit whenever you're home(or drop us a quick 2 minute update to tell us about the amazing place you are at the time). When you have taken breaks this past year and a half, we all totally understood that you were needed to be away and we simply looked forward to when you would be back, hoping that you were well in between visits. Carlos, I think your idea is great too. Do what's best for you. We will still be here. Oh, and I live in Canada, I totally understand what you were saying about the beauty of winter. I love to walk on a day when the sun is shining and it's about -20C. The cold and sunshine on your face at the same time, there's something special about it. I wish others could experience it just once at least... Arne, those projects are coming along great! I love hearing you two explain where your inspiration comes from, and your design process. And Arne, I totally understand the genealogy addiction! Have fun. Best wishes for a great week!!

A few years ago here in Northern California, it snowed about 6 or 8 inches in an evening. When I was taking the dog out at bedtime that night, the sky had cleared and there was a full moon. I called my boyfriend out and said, "You have to come out with me for a walk. You'll never see this again in this part of California". It was like daylight out with the full moon on the fresh snow. So beautiful. It reminded me of my childhood in Michigan.

Selfishly I don't want you to have less podcasts... I so enjoy visiting with you two.

I ♥ 'Sit and Knit for a Bit' and am always so pleased to see the notification pop up on my screen. However, if you are travelling, then an occasional travel vlog could be good. The suggestion of a lifestyle blog also sounds really good. I've learnt a lot from previous lifestyle episodes and am now a keen bokashi composter, as well as a knitter 😁

I think you should fit it in when you can - if that's once a month great. If you're home for a longer stretch maybe you do it more epicodes.

The sit and knit is my most fave of the channel. I enjoy just listening to both of you talk about anything and everything about Norway and your lives.

No! You can't stop Sit and knit, it is my FAVORITE podcast, I just love to watch you chat while I knit. Also I would make a mini hanger for each advent mini sweater and hang them on a line.

I would be very sad to lose Sit and Knit completely! I understand weekly will at some point not be feasible, but please continue in some manner that works for you.

when my three children were small I made a felt Santa Advent calendar. Each of the 24 pockets on Santa had 3 chocolates, 1 for each kid, and we counted down to Christmas with the chocolates. Except someone kept cheating and taking chocolate out of turn! I was getting pretty mad until I caught our dog (Rhodesian Ridgeback) pulling the chocolate out of the pockets, unwrapping the foil and leaving it on the floor, and then eating the candy. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I would still be blaming the poor children! Advent calendars are so much fun.

I will watch anything you post!! I have very much enjoyed all the Sit and Knit episodes but understand that these have been unusual times. I especially enjoy hearing about your activities and Norwegian culture.

Sit and Knit For A Bit is my favourite way to spend a morning. I will miss it terribly once it's over. I realize it probably works better when it's on a regular schedule, but I would be open to watching any time you air it! I am getting the notifications ahead of time, so I will watch any day of the week. I'm sure most of us would!

Please please keep doing sit and knit for a bit … I love it! Even if you have to take breaks when you travel.

We had the first frost this week in Kamloops, BC, Canada this week too, so I have been putting away the deck furniture and putting the planters to bed too. It must be lots of work keeping all those fireplaces stoked all winter. Our houses are mainly wood here too, although many homes back east in Canada are made of bricks. I think available resources dictate housing materials sometimes. I had never thought about stone houses being colder, bit it makes sense. I love the cat needle point creation, Arne- very creative changes. The new Christmas stocking is lovely. I have downloaded the advent sweater patterns, but not sure they will get done this year- the queue is so long for things I am knitting. I think you could play it by ear with Knit For A Bit- take breaks as needed or post from different places you happen to be when you can-that could be fun. I think you did one from a hotel in Oslo once.

Love all your videos and hope you can continue " Sit and Knit for a Bit". Am a devoted fan and enjoy everything on your channel. I appreciate all your hard work.

I love seeing you twice a week and learning about your projects. Please continue forever!

Looking forward to tutorials about steeking! I’m knitting my very first cardigan. The pattern is knit flat. I would like to know how to adjust the pattern so that it can be knit in the round and then steeked. I hope Sit & Knit stays as a podcast. I would really enjoy hearing the travel stories, or an interview with the people you are meeting, or hear about Arne’s shopping adventures. I also enjoy hearing about the lifestyle stuff and non-knitting related stories (and updates from the “dead/blind lady” projects) You’re great storytellers! Yes, I mostly listen as I take my “15 minutes” to work on a project 😀

When you tour you should do live volg for that time. I enjoy and look forward to your Sunday and Wednesday time with you both.

I love you guys just the way you are, I enjoy the chats, the tutorial, and the laughs

Hope you keep up the Sit and Knit for a bit at least once a month. Very nice to hear the stories. Almost like family to many of us. ❤

Hi guys! Learning about Family history is so very interesting! Love the “bird” man story. I’m from Denver, Colorado and we had our first frost on the ground too, this morning. I just love your channel, guys. It’s so interesting to learn about people from other countries. I love watching documentaries, however I’d rather learn by watching folks on KZfaq. 💕 🧶

I love Sit and Knit and it is so enjoyable; however, life does require change. My vote would be for once a month if possible. It is so interesting to hear your stories, ancestry, gardening, special holiday cooking and the wonderful Setesdal specials. Whatever works the best for you two is good for all of us. The new stocking is adorable. Take good care

I love all you do and all you design and all you chat about. I’m on your mailing list and have bought patterns - I don’t miss an episode! But the catalyst for all of it (for me) was the quarantine we were all forced to endure. Then I saw a miraculous thing: all around the world artists and musicians reached out a hand to show that no one was alone. A tuba in Germany joined a violin in England to brass in America and so forth - so that we had an orchestra! Isolated but together and more than the sum of its parts. A triumph of the human spirit. That is what your blanket squares meant to me - put together it becomes an orchestra, offered in isolation to bring us together. So I’d love, if you’re inclined, to come back to that every now and again. The gift you gave us was not a knitting pattern. It was more, much more.

One of my favourite things to do in winter is a late night walk with my dog! Clear sky, full moon and everything covered in beautiful shiny snow. It's magical.

I feel very spoiled that I got to see your live interview with Rowan at Wool and Company last Saturday. It was like an extra Sit and Knit for a Bit! Whatever you decide for 2022 would be great, I am sure. As others have said here, I would like to see other lifestyle things. I think the first video of yours I ever saw was the one where you made the lighted star for Christmas. I am pretty sure it was linked from Kate at The Last Homely House. We do still have your whole catalog on KZfaq, so we can also make our own Sit and Knit times. Thanks so much for providing a fun and interesting insight into your work, culture, and lives.

You've both been extraordinarily generous during these tough times. I've loved "Sit and Knit" and will follow along and visit whenever invited be it once a month or every week during special months when you're home. Looking forward as always to next Wednesday!

I love Wednesday’s-because of Sit and Knit for a Bit! Once a month is not enough!!!!

I love Sit and Knit times. I watch them while I'm on the treadmill and it keeps me going. Even if you can't do it every week, at least once a month. I feel as if I'm right there visiting with you while you talk! Thanks for all that you do!

i would LOVE for you both to do some podcasts from museum collections- perhaps scandanavian arts and crafts or painters, furniture etc. a few specific places in NYC but also in Minneapolis and other cities. i know you love antiques and art- so do i-- so visiting collections might be something you will be able to organize in 2022.

I would be very sad to see the end of Sit and Knit for a Bit but understand you'll not be as available. I'd love to see commentary on your travels and visits to knitting groups around the world. As for electricity, I think prices are going up everywhere. Here in Oz, my electricity bill for the just finished winter was 35% more than last year. I'm very much looking forward to your Advent podcasts - they're always fun.

I love "Sit and Knit for a bit", the way you tell stories, recap your week and show us your work! You are a continuous font of inspiration. Wednesday evenings have become my hygge moment at home!

I sure have been comforted by your Sit and Knit episodes.😊 and hope you can continue, maybe twice a month? Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your podcasts.

I always enjoy seeing your works in progress, finished projects and hearing about your ancestors. It would also be nice if you shared some of your favorite pieces in your home or collections. Your cooking episodes are always a special treat! Enjoy you both! ♥️♥️

I love to listen to you, please do not stop Sit&Bit, we would miss it so much! ps: we have advent calendars in Czech Republic too 💓

I absolutely love Sit and Knit for a Bit and look forward to it every week. Please do what you can to keep it going. It is so very interesting.

I do like the Sit and Knit concept and also your trips, I just like it all!

3am here in Australia. Will watch this in the evening tonight after I purchase the new stocking pattern. Love the cosy looking home on the stocking.

Yet another fab episode! 👍 Arne, you have the most colourful family history - sweet! 😋 What ever format you guys come up with, will be fine with me! I don't really differ between it being a tutorial session or not - to me being in 'your company' is a QUALITY TIME, filled with INNOVATION (new type of projects to try my patience on 😉etc), EDUCATION (new skills/rediscovering ways to do certain things, e.g. the series from Setesdal was a fountain of info!!) and INSPIRATION! Not only being inspired to cast on different type of project but also look up more info on a lot of the topics and places you share on your podcast. Pssst - come December I'm revisiting some of the Christmas baking shows and will do some bake-alongs 'with you guys'🙌 Keep up the good work - it makes me happy and relaxed! Greetings from a rainy Denmark, Dille😋

I definitely understand the time it takes to do the weekly Sit and Knit. Doing a monthly one would be a great option. I sit and knit for a bit while watching. It provides great entertainment and I really enjoy you both.

Love your sit n knit episodes. You will figure something out for the new year while traveling.

First of all, I absolutely LOVE Sit and Knit and look forward to the episode each week. That said, I also appreciate that a weekly commitment in a post-Covid work schedule is not practical. I’m trying to be unbiased when I say … I would suggest that you look inwardly to see where you feel excited and not to us. Does the idea of creating a monthly Sit and Knit still give you energy or would it become just one more thing in a hectic schedule? I’ve often thought that I love the connection, but in reality it is very one sided, so it isn’t connection. So I guess what I have enjoyed is the company and the glimpse into your lives. I find myself giggling with Arne’s sense of humour, Carlos’ dry one liners and enjoy seeing all of your side projects. I have visited your website shop for patterns and yarn after watching a Sit and Knit episode, but I would probably still do all those things if you adopted a different format. All this to say, follow your hearts because that is where you shine. Thank you so much for providing us with something so enjoyable and dependable to look forward to during a very uncertain time. Now, I wonder what Arne will find for Carlos in his stash of thrift shop UFOs? Even though I’ve said what I’ve said, I’m still going to love Sit and Knit until the bitter end!! 😊

The part I love most is the talking about nothing…. Lots of laughs….

Please don't stop doing Sit & Knit for a Bit I would miss both of you immensely 💗

We all have to adapt & change...& flow: Just be true to yourselves! All that you do & share is most welcome! Thank you so very much for "Sit & Knit for a Bit", the tutorials, the tours, gardening & cooking, all the knitting, ...really just everything! I do watch you as i listen & knit!💕❤💕🥰

It would be sad not having Sit and Knit for a bit, every week. But I can understand your rationale when you consider your work, travel and vacation periods

I love your Wednesday podcasts, but it is understandable if you need to move on. I love the story telling and what is happening in your life.

You guys have been so good to make these videos and once you start traveling it would be too much to expect you to post so often. I appreciate any time you can podcast.

I would miss our Sit and Knits but you have to do what you must. The stockings are beautiful.

Sit and Knit For a Bit my favorite series on your channel, and the only one I watch consistently. I don't actually knit, so I don't always watch the Sunday tutorials. I do crochet, embroidery, etc. so I do like to hear you guys talk about your other projects and works-in-progress. It's also just lovely to hear about your lives; it really does feel like having a chat with friends and catching up. I hope that you can keep Sit and Knit For a Bit as at least a monthly podcast when you start travelling again. It is the reason I started watching the channel, and the reason I've stayed. It feels like we are really getting to know you as people. I also love the cooking and lifestyle videos. They are more fun for me!

No, no ,no please don’t stop sit and knit and don’t change it to once a month. It is wonderful hearing and seeing what you have been up to. A joy when Wednesday comes around. Love the Sunday tutorials but also love the Wednesdays. Perhaps when you are away a little live vlog now and again would be brilliant. I sit and watch and sometimes do my knitting but only if I don’t have to think about the knitting as I don’t want to miss what you or the dogs are up to. If you stopped Wednesdays how would we know what else Arne is finishing which belongs to the old, blind, or dead lady. Love the cat cushion. So clever. Love the Wednesdays. 🧶🧶

Please continue doing Sit and Knit. Monthly would be great. I really love hearing everything from traditions, knitting tips, all about Norway - everything! You two are great.

Love the sit and knit, it’s like a nice visit over the fence with my neighbors!

Don’t quit sit and knit! It’s so fun.

I would despair to see the end of Sit and Knit For A Bit! I just love the both of you, your stories, and your adventures! Please don’t go away!

A monthly update would be wonderful once you return to your worldly wanderings, as I would miss you both too much if Sit & Knit a Bit disappeared completely! I love the new Christmas stocking design, absolutely gorgeous. Take care and keep sharing your joy 🧶🍁🧵🍂

Thank you so much for Sit and Knit For a Bit. I so look forward to Thursday (in Australia) so that I can see you both. I understand that it is a lot of work but I really appreciate that you allow me to be a part of your lives. 💜

Please keep Sit and Knit just whenever it is possible. I look forward to it so much. I think ‘Oh good it’s Wednesday, Sit and Knit’ Maybe you could do them when you are at home and the odd one when possible on your travels, like the one you did in the Hotel dining room! We feel we are travelling too then. I love the way Arne is finishing the old ladies projects. Thank you so much for making all these videos 😊

I hope sit and knit for a bit stays around! It’s the best 15 minutes on KZfaq! I love the casual “conversation” and how relaxed you both are. I know whatever you decide will be best for you both, as long as don’t stop making videos! You have inspired me to love knitting again, since I started watching last year, and I will be forever grateful. ❤️🤗 Carlos, you are so good about not spoiling the surprise. I don’t know if I could resist looking into the jumper. 😂 I love seeing the progress on Arne’s cat project and the garter scarf made another appearance! I look forward to seeing that one finished. Your Christmas designs are always so beautiful, it’s a lovely stocking design. I had to put air in my tires this week, too. 😂 hope you have a great rest of your week!

Thank you so much, Arne and Carlos, for all the lovely Sit and Knit for a Bit-episodes. I hope that you will continue making podcasts! By the way, please make a tutorial about how to grade knitting patterns. Greetings from Bruxelles😊

I enjoy very much sit & knit. I find it soothing in some way. It's like sitting with old friends chatting. You are very kind
