Pre-recorded is fine with me…and an occasional live is fun! You do what makes sense to you - I’ll be delighted either way :) have fun, enjoy yourselves !

I think it's very intuitive for Arne to transform an automotive care and repair book into an art form by using some of the pages as a coloring book. It just goes to show how these two gentleman are always thinking design, colorwork, planning, and establishing their craft. Absolutely brilliant. 😮

Oh my Word ! Arne , the embroidery you did as a child is simply stunning ! The snowflakes crochet is beautiful too. xxx

I love watching whether live or taped! I tend to re-watch often because your videos are so very wonderful. :)

The discussion of the VW manual was hilarious! Arne says “let’s collect old car parts to fix the Beetle”. Carlos”Let’s not.” Arne: “Oh, right, let’s not!” A “messy garage” to keep the “messy room” company 😂😂😂

I’m just grateful for what you do. How you do it, live or recorded, is ok with me. Thank you! It’s so much fun!!! ❤

I enjoy the pre-recorded version much more. The live version involves a lot of blank spaces while viewers' messages are read. Love you guys. You light up my life. XXXX XXXX ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I do enjoy sitting in my sunny patch on our veranda listening to you two chatting away about this and that. It's like having friends over for tea.

I like the pre-recorded episodes. The first new larger bug with spots on the hind wing is a species of Tiger moth and possibly the colours are faded out (the darker pattern on the forewing is often black or brown and the hind wing colour surrounding the spots is often bright red or orange). I know folks who collect moths and butterflies and expertly prepare and preserve them as a hobby. The bugs can last a really long time when preserved and stored under the right conditions and done properly are seriously gorgeous and colourful collections! :) Thanks for showing us how fun and diverse your interests are!

With life being so busy and in different time zones, the prerecorded sit and knit is better. It is more relaxing big time!!!

I enjoy your shows EITHER way. You make me smile or laugh as you show us your talents. The Dolly Cake last week was a riot. Good luck with all you do. ❤ from your Canadian East Coast fan. 😊

I absolutely enjoy reruns and make me laugh. Your shorts are good and watch all. Fantastic!!😊

I love watching you both Live and pre recorded. ❤

I love how you are looking at your car repair Manual and get excited about coloring the drawings.

Thanks for remembering those of us in the United States going through the heat waves. I hope those in the summer raining/ flooding U.S. are staying safe and afloat. Your weather sounds nice, Arne & Carlos.

I like prerecorded episodes best. You used to do just one “live” a year for questions. Also quite impressed with Arne’s embroidery when he was seven! And how creative to make animals with pine cones and match sticks. Tablecloth is looking really nice. I may borrow that idea from your pillow design. Thanks for stopping by! ☺️

you guys are wonderful to listen to, recorded or live. i love when Arne discovers childhood crafts, old books that belonged to grandmothers, always ready to make new things from old ideas, love the crocheted snowflake sampler, love it when you go off topic and meander down another road.

I knit all year long, even when it's warm. I usually try and knit with cotton or some light weight yarn. Pre-recorded works great; honestly you keep me entertained while knitting

Test swatch, STITCH MARKERS, (for repeat of pattern) & chart. All essential for knitting. Yes, I have been knitting for 66 years. I started off knitting socks on 4 needles at the age of 8.

Your steeking videos are what helped me make my first sweater.

Arne your grandmother was a wonderful woman to take so much time from her busy day to teach you so many things…I had a grandma just like yours..however she only knit. and tried to teach me without patterns which I found very difficult…So today I have a pattern for everything…

Arne, your embroidery on canvas from your childhood is cool. Hearing about your creative childhood , playing with pine cones and what nature provided is great 😊. I like the snowflake crochet pattern; I would like to make it. You guys are neat. Thanks for sharing.

I haven’t been making the time to join you for the past few weeks, but I’m so glad I watched you today. I’m missing seeing you every day on the cruise, plus I recently found a granny square afghan that my grandmother crocheted for me a long time ago that has some holes in it. You are inspiring me to fix it by relearning how to crochet. I love seeing Arne’s old projects being rediscovered, as well as the tablecloth for the greenhouse project. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas with us ❤

Lovely episode as always. Love all the shorts. So many wonderful things coming.

Lives are fun for those who can attend live, but watching the interactions after the fact is not my thing. Prerecorded is great for all time zones to watch as able. This one was great! Love how you share yourselves, and your projects. Cheers! Knitting here in Canada, but a small kerchief project :)

Hello, Arne and Carlos 😊I do really enjoy watching every video of you! Thank you sooo much for the inspiration, knitting tips and fun 🙂

The butterflies....beautiful. My grandfather used to make arrangements of dried flowers like that. They were from the same era... early 1900s.

I love whatever you choose to do - knitting, sewing, cooking, gardening(I love the PyjamaGardeners!!!), thrifting, tutorials, whatever you have show or tell, and I really am not bothered about whether it's live or recorded. I am happy to see you gentlemen in whichever format works for you! Thankyou for another wonderful visit!!

I love watching you both live and pre-recorded. I don't get to see you live on Wednesdays anyway, as I can't get away from work to do so. I always watch your Wednesday loves after work, when I can relax and knit. As a member, I can get my live fix once a month.

Arne, I so admire that you have the memory of doing the embroidery with the sailor 🙂

Pre recorded is fine by me. You probably get less distracted but I’m grateful for anything!

I love the taped shows much more. They feel more relaxed.

Fun! Enjoyed watching while I put my Mother's childhood charms from her vacation in Mexico, in 1940, on a satin cord; a new necklace!

I’m fine with either format. I love sakfab any way I can get it. I’m also loving the pajama gardeners. You look like you’re having such a good time.

I am in New Mexico and am new to you guys so thanks for the little bios. It is very hot here and I have no AC so I hide out in the house painting and knitting. I appreciate your videos.

Would love for you to write the pattern for the beautiful snowflake crochet. Thank you for continuing your “Sit and Knit for a BIt” podcasts. While I can imagine the podcasts are difficult to maintain - they bring much enjoyment

I will watch live. I will watch taped . I will watch shorts ( with or without shorts ) I will watch pajama gardener. I love all the content! Now I have crochet to look forward to. Thanks so much!! ❤

I like both live and prerecorded!! I just enjoy seeing y'all every week!!! I think that blanket would be beautiful as a Christmas afghan!!!

Love your podcast…no matter if it is live or recorded. 😊😎

This episode sparked many thoughts! - When ‘panic cleaning,’ my family calls it “stash and dash.” 😆 - My grandmother’s cookbook had a recipe for a much smaller animal: Squirrel Stew 🤢 - Although the stitches aren’t as pretty as Arne’s, the wall-hanging reminds me of two klokkastrenger (had to do some research to discover that word!) I bought during our Norway thrift store adventures over the last couple of weeks - And lastly, charts in a pattern are great, especially when you’re left-handed and the results of instructions come out backwards and nothing lines up (found out more than once the hard way!)😆

Another great episode of SAKFAB! I usually can't watch the live ones so I always watch them later that day or the next if I can. Arne your embroidery that you did as a child is amazing and you have so much skill that you have learned over the years.....just amazing! Carlos I am a slow knitter as well and my scarf has gone into hibernation as I have a puppy right now to train but normally I would be knitting or crocheting on something as I like to keep my hands busy! I love that you will be including crochet shorts now also! Thank you both for sharing so much with us!

Recorded or Live, whatever works best for you two. I love seeing all of Arne's treasures. How many storage rooms/offices does he have? I can see your home becoming a wonderful museum - just for the two of you. Love the PJ Gardeners short videos. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for making and sharing this!

That's when I first found you - I have been following ever since. You changed my life...

That’s really neat. You know the history of of our house- train station. That is awesome. People in America made a silo into a house, large barn, and other things.

I’m easy - I like both pre-recorded and live. I just really enjoy watching you both!

It’s NEVER too hot to knit! I’m working on a summer tee, but also your Folke sweater, which I hope to have finished in time for the Iowa winter.

I am so happy to support your utube channel. An opportunity to give back to you guys as you have given me so much inspiration and education .

Yes Please for the blanket pattern, that will be a lovely Christmas crochet!

In the 1960's, I bought that Volkswagen book for my father for Christmas. I thought it was a joke book. He used that book for 15 years to keep his Volkswagen alive!!! Who knew?!?!?

Arne-- absolutely love the diamond embroidery pattern that your sailor neighbor taught you as a child ❤ Would be willing to purchase instructions for that pattern if you ever get them written out. Also loved the old cook book of your Grandmothers that you came across-- hope you find a good holiday recipe to prepare and that we get to watch 😊 Thanks for your commitment to your followers--- enjoy everything you post!

I like live and recorded. Whatever works for you guys. I just started knitting. Love you guys!

Love your shirt, Arne

I love your content. Taped ahead of live doesn't matter to me. It's just so relaxing to listen. To you both.😅

You are so right! I’ve often said “It is very hard to envision that which you’ve never seen!”

Hooray! Still my favorite event of the week!🥰

Oooooh Carlos that’s so wonderful you meditate 😃👏🏼🥰

I like SAKFAB both ways, live and recorded. The crochet snowflake will look fabulous in varying shades of blue (ice/water colour) on a Christmas white background. I enjoy all your podcasts, thank you for continuing them.

I appreciate that you keep posting, live or pre-recorded. I'm often at work and can't watch the live anyway.

Love your videos live and pre-recorded, but I think I like the pre-recorded a bit more 😀, I will watch no matter what!

Whichever format fits into your schedule is wonderful. I rarely can watch “live”. The peacock pattern worked beautifully for me. I always have to knit lace slowly for the first few repeats . Visualizing the pattern using charts is so much easier for me. I even used peacock colored yarn from an estate sale. (I assume it’s from a dead lady, but it might be from a dead gentleman 😊). I also bought her collection of patterns and notes from workshops!!

I LOVE 😍 the colours you have chosen for the cardigan in Norwegian wool! ❤

You make knitting fun.❤. Talented Mr. Arne...😮

The snowflake blanket could be in white and frosty blues and then it could be used for the holidays right through the winter! I would love to do that pattern!

I love that crochet! I'd love to have that as a Christmas afghan.

I love watching you gents and will take whatever I can get--you are so entertaining and inspiring! I love that you share your "fails" as well as you stunning successes. The snowflake UFO is lovely! The idea of making a "Franken-Beetle" from old spare parts! I love the tablecloth idea, too. So, live or pre-recorded? I am at work when you are live, so it is all the same to me. Your posts are never bad. Thank you for sharing!

Please please don,t change the beautiful work you made when you were a child, it is beautiful. How talented you were as such a young child. From Christine (an English grandmother)

Really enjoyed your show. I like the pre-recorded presentations.😊

Whatever format, it's lovely to see you!

love watching your videos! And can't wait for that exciting cowl pattern you're knitting!!!

I love the idea of the crocheted blanket for Christmas. Good I love it. Arne your shirt looks so fun. You two are so fun and so entertaining. I 😂am giggling with the VW book😮 sure fits my engine experience. 😊

Re the Peacock scarf. I am enjoying making one of these scarves and have thoroughly enjoyed following the pattern which Is so perfectly written. It just works! Thank you x

Cardigan looks very advanced knit. It’s beautiful.

I have been knitting like mad this summer! I am obsessed with all the summer knits and all the summer yarns; linen, cotton and silk! But I am definitely thinking of my woolly winter knitting plans so I need to make the switch soon so they'll be ready when the cold weather returns but its been so hot and these summer projects knit up so fast, its hard to make the switch back to wool at the moment! Thank you for another wonderful episode Arne and Carlos! I always look forward to sitting and knitting for a bit while catching up with y'all!

I love your sit and knit for a bit. You are very interesting.

Wonderful episode. Thank you.

Love the little star mini-afghan. Spring or summer coloring or Christmas as you say. I am fine with whatever you feel inspired to do.

That peacock scarf is really wonderful

In the States, (Southern State) in the 90’s - hot and humid, but like you said Air Conditioning in the States. At least here - we retired out of the snow in the North and I always think of the people that lived and😮 worked in this extreme heat before the air conditioning became commonplace wow.

Pre-recorded is fine, and a lot less pressure on you both. I love watching all the ‘shorts’

I;m happy with pre-recorded. The live streams are at a time when I am often busy in the kitchen so I have to watch them later anyway. I so enjoy your broadcasts however you do them. There's always something for me to learn, or a new idea and often something to make me laugh too. xx

Love the jokes, Arne!! The whole family loves them!

Both live and taped are lovely ways to hang out with you.

It's clear Arne is a designing genius. 7 years old and that embroidery is amazing. Even the Volkswagen book - who looks at a 'fix it' manual and sees something to color? I had something called 'Tago' blocks when I was a young kid. I'd spend hours building cottages, parking garages, houses modeled after those of Frank Lloyd Wright (until I found out what a creep he really was). I think Arne should open up his studio as a museum.... I'm a slow knitter too, but it all comes out the same in the end. Your knitting is beautiful too Carlos.

I prefer the prerecorded versions better then the life versions. And it’s so nice to see how you guys see something creative in the most mondaine things. Very inspiring 😊

Do what is best for you, I like everything you do! I'm watching the reruns for the same reason, I love everything you do!!! As usual, today was hilarious, I was laughing so much...

Despite my best effort, I always seem to miss the live episodes. I am so thankful to be able to watch later. I am happy to take whatever time you share, however it suits you both the best. Carlos, you made me bust out laughing at the "bad kids running amuck"! I thought I was the only person that says things like this. 😂 My youngest granddaughter who is 7 thinks these sayings are so funny. I started teaching her to knit last year and she gets so tickled if I tell her, oh goodness, you have just run amuck with your knitting or we don't just do things all willy nilly. 🤣 🤨 Hugs for Freja! ❤🤗😘

Absolutely beautiful! That would be nice with shades of blue and white also, like snow

Dear Carlos and Arne, life or not it is such a good time to look at your podcast. And this one Carlos you are so funny when you loose a stitch. Please loose one, ones every now and then. 😊❤

Your work is beautiful, Christmas colors would be nice on the snowflake crochet work. Live or recorded is enjoyable ❤thanks

Either live or recorded I just love watching. Arne- your childhood embroidery is gorgeous! I can’t wait to try the fall cardi. I haven’t done intarsia in years

Omg it would be a dream to get a surprise package of creative joy.Your jacket came out amazing. Your SpongeBob shirt is the coolest. I am in love with the cardigan pattern.I want to do mine with pinks and maybe yellow cream as a background. I want it to look like Victorian wallpaper. Sorry I ramble. I am happy for you that your room is beautiful. I feel your pain for space. I love in London in a 18th century cottage. No room for anything. Your extension sounds like a dream. ❤

Love watching you two!

Arne, I agree with Carlos about the embroidery! The lines between the squares look great!

Arne’s mind is so creative.

The lines give it a tiled appearance. Lovely

Do whatever is best for you and don't stress about it. You guys are so great, don't over do things or make yourselves I'll. ❤👍from Somerset, UK

Doreen here - love to see/hear you. It doesn't matter if live or pre-recorded - just happy to spend time with you and be inspired. Thank you!

i love this show Sit & Knit for a bit & hope it never stops, even once a month with prerecordings inbetween, love hearing about your days/week of what you've done & what are in your future plans, you keep the episodes real, it's so refreshing; so please never stop what you are doing, just slow down a little more to give yourselves some breathing room WOW 100yr old cook book, what a treasure! would love it if you could give examples of some of the earlier foods there, when & or possible, can always change the meat out Carlos, don't feel so bad being a slow knitter now, I went from knitting a jumper/sweater in a bit over a month to a couple of years now, even plain fingerless mittens takes me a couple of months to make instead of less than a week, we all slow down to some ailment or another as we get older, mine started with rheumatoid arthritis, then carpel tunnel slipped in, now to top it all off to just make it more difficult to use my hands is the Dupuytren's contracture. not a happy Jan with all 3; there are probably many of us who have become slow knitters, i'm actually enjoying the process more; so don't feel sad/bad about not being able to knit fast anymore, i miss it only sometimes; & that is a gorgeous cowl you are making too. thanx for giving us your time to do these episodes

I’m busy knitting a square of my blanket every evening. I saw Kate Jackson of The Last Homely House knitting her blanket a few months ago.
