Join us and Sit and Knit for a Bit. For those of you who are new to our youtube channel you might like to know that this is a podcast that is not only about knitting.
The reason why it's called sit and knit for a bit is that you can sit and knit for a bit while you're listening. If you don't want to sit and knit for a bit and listen to us, you can do nothing, or you can do embroidery or crochet whatever you want to do is fine by us!
As long as you Sit for a bit!

Wow! Do you have a running total for what's been sent to save the children for the year?
Yes we do! $18 000 so far

That's awesome!
@@ARNECARLOS Amazing! Thank you both!!

15 Minutes Arne & Carlos time = 60 minutes world time
OMG.. “we still need to find a name for the charger” that’s hilarious!! Love it:)
What else would you call the car, but Dolly!! The charging station would be Dollyville!
This time I soaked in a bubble bath with red wine & candles while listening to Sit and Knit for a Bit.
I think you both are great people and i love listening and learn from you! Thank you and i will continue to listen and learn-. I’ve never seen knitting with Arne! Wow! and crochet?, no clue most of life! I’m so glad to see you and listening! keep going and I hope you continue! Love Electric cars, too!
I’m so happy about your support of the Ukrainian “Save the Children” program! 😍
My heartfelt congratulations on landing the Rowan cover magazine twice in a row! I just love your design on the cover, it does spark joy just to look at it.
It is fascinating to follow the making of your jackets but what is more touching is your unfailing support for each other. It touches the heart. 💕
I love Wednesdays so much now because I get to have coffee/knitting time with you two! ❤️ I’ve started rewatching the original daily quarantine knitting podcast from 2020 because it was the two year anniversary. I had forgotten what a lovely time it was and actually miss certain aspects of that time. In the beginning of the pandemic, we were all trying to help each other, doing whatever we could to keep each other healthy. We delivered food, reached out to people we hadn’t seen in a long time and even helped people we didn’t know. It was, in a way, a much more innocent time. We didn’t know all the pain, sorrow and division that was to come. Thank you for all you’ve done and are still doing to help us all through these difficult and sad times. 😘 Looking forward to better and happier days for the world🌍🌈🌞
What a great idea to rewatch the original quarantine podcasts. I might have to do the same.
You are so right! I think for a short while we became much kinder people. That trait is obviously in us all for it to come out, but it’s a shame that it is hidden for so much of the time. I recall the quietness particularly, with just the sounds of nature, without the constant drone of vehicles in the background. It also made me appreciate the little things of life, and that fact that ‘material stuff’ gets in the way.
Your folk jackets are coming along nicely.
Thank you!
Perhaps your charging station name is Dolly! As Dolly Parton always so full of energy!
Your folk costumes are a work of art and a labor of love!
Thank you Barbara, they are taking ages!
Arne, leave your stitches. It's the special personalized touches that make it unique and special.
❤️😊
Red Rooster is still there! Marcus Samuelsson is a wonderful chef. I've seen him speak at the American Swedish Institute here in Minneapolis several times and have been to Red Rooster twice. I think that ASI would be a great place for you two to have a retrospective of your work. It's a wonderful museum.
I went to a Roxy Music concert in Sydney Australia in 1975. It was the most incredible experience. I still love the music.
Freya and Helmer will miss you while you're away. 🐩🐾
Two days ago, I traded in a 2018 egolf (named "Puff" - she was just a little puff of air) for an ID4 (named "Angela" - after the former German chancellor). I have had solar panels, also since 2018. Even in the rain forest of the west coast of Canada, similar to Norway regarding hydro electricity, there is enough sun to generate adequate electricity. We did get over 1m of snow this winter, the snow stayed on the 35deg pitch roof, and there were about five days where zero generation. Thank you so much for sharing your enthusiasm for green technology. Norway is inspirational.
Thank you so much Georgina!
When you showed the new Rowan magazine, I kept hearing that old Dr. Hook song, “On the Cover of the Rolling Stone”. 😂 You two dear gents always brighten my day & give me a chuckle. Happy Spring to you both! 😊
😊❤️
Cheryl!!! Me too! I started thinking up lyrics! “We are big rocking knitters! We’ve got nimble fingers and we knit everywhere we go! We share about beauty and we talk about life and brighten the world with our stuff! …. 😂😂😂😂
@@dorindacontreras1094 when Arne & Carlos arrive for their United States tour, they may be serenaded by all of the ‘nimble-fingered knitters’ on this side of the pond! 😂
@@ARNECARLOS I lost my pin cushion last year too! (electro magnetic energy could pick up metal and fly it out the door.. no??) (just kidding...!)
Very generous for save the children. ❤️
When you make your new pin cushions, if you make them the same size you could sew a wide elastic on the ends so it will fit on your wrists then you won't lose it while you are sewing. Great show!! ❤
Wool is the best stuffing for a pincushion because it keeps pins and needles clean and very sharp. Lovely podcast.🧵
Thank you for listening!
I love your new Rowan designs. The jacket/cardigan is very stylish and elegant. Bravo!
Thank you Sigrun!
Wow! Talk about a blast from the past. I saw Roxy Music around 40 years ago here in Chicago. It was a great show.
I would bet the pin cushion is filled with wool. Wool helps keep needles sharp.
Companion gardening often includes flowers to repel pests or to attract pollinators. I live in Florida and I always add marigolds to mixed plant pots and my tomato plants. Just read that carrots are a companion plant to tomatoes. More to learn....
It’s great having sit and knit back because you are both so interesting with so much to discuss. I enjoy every minute. I think you have a Mr Nobody in your house. You will have to google the Mr Nobody poem ~ one of my mothers favourites.
We will!
I noticed the Embroidered Needle Book on a previous vlog ( I believe the Quilt square tutorial) and I kept hoping I could get a closer look. I now have researched other patterns and I plan to make a few needle books for my family for Christmas. Thanks Arne & Carlos, I have another UFO in my craft room!
Great episode, as always. I think the charging station should be Elektra. And the split in the back of a jacket is a "vent." (I guess because it lets the air in to cool your whatever. :) )
Thank you!
You guys always turn me on to the best stuff! How have I never heard of Amanda Lear? ! She’s so cool!
😊
That jacket in the Rowan magazine is gorgeous!!
Thank you!
Dear Arne&Carlos!
I like your Video so much.
Thanks for spending time with me.🤩
Heartly Greetings from Claudia living in Bonn, Germany
Thank you so much Claudia!
Wow, you've got a lot done on your jackets - they look wonderful!
I don’t know when I learnt to do it, but I have always bound the edges of my canvas with masking tape, not just to stop the canvas fraying, but to stop the tapestry wool wearing on the sharp edges of the canvas. It also makes it more comfortable in your hands. I love the mandrill panel!
Thank you!
Now I see why the folk costumes are so expensive. Very labor intensive. 😀
Yes, but such lovely craftsmanship
Hello from sunny California. I love your "Sit and Knit for a Bit" after discovering you in November after I fell (due to Covid) and fractured my back. It's been a very long recovery but I can't believe how much knitting I've accomplished after pain subsided some. My next project is your sweater for Ukraine 🇺🇦 . I only learned to knit when I retired 3 years ago. It was thanks to wonderful knitters like you that I was able to teach myself to knit after decades of crocheting. You make me feel like I'm sitting with friends enjoying conversation. Thanks so much! I have discovered that I knit and hold my working yarn just like you guys. My grandmother had tried to teach me to knit when I was very young and this is how I learned to tension and hold my yarn; No fingers in the air and no intricate wrapping of the yarn! Thanks again. PS We visited Norway shortly after retiring and went to Mt. Floyen where our Grandson broke his arm while playing at a beautiful park! We met some wonderful locals who helped us get to the hospital where he received excellent care.
Norway is such a lovely country - beautiful scenery, wonderful air quality, and lovely people! I’m fortunate to have several Norwegian friends, and they are the best! I’m glad that you had folk to help you when your Grandson broke his arm - I’m sure that it is the kindness rather than the pain which will stay in your memories!
Bravo! Your folk costumes are looking stunning! Oh, you let the cat out of the bag---- you're planning a tour of the US -- putting in a bid for Colorado! We have Moose-Moose here, too!
😊
Your Mandrill is fabulous Arne!
There were so many bizarre incidents that occurred during the pandemic. We need to laugh at them. The past two years were so stressful that we need to start laughing again :)
True!
I love that you give names to everything.
It's adorable
I just love all of your podcasts. You both are so talented.
Thank you Cathie!
I hadn't heard of Amanda Lear....SO European!!! I am coming from Australia to look after your garden, and your dogs!! Now that would be very exciting!
Thank you!
Thank you once again for a lovely time! I have one of those shrinking closets, too! Please, please, please come to Indianapolis when you're in the US!!
I made my own bunad. 3 years and lessons from a certified teacher who learned in Norway and all the fabrics and silver etc. came from Norway I’m so proud of it. I’ll send a photo.
So lovely!
Mini sample paint Potts are common in the uk. Lovely mandarin colour shirt Carlos, suits you very well.
I love to knit listening to you both, it is my favourite way to chill out in the day xx
Oh my gosh!! That pillow ❣️my husband was an avid needlepointer. He would so enjoy your creative choices in these backgrounds. He started knitting in the 79s when I was employed in a needle work shop in Edmonds, WA. He traveled by air and always drew much attention 😍Good memories 🥰
Great 15 minutes. Keep up the good work 😊🇬🇧
Thank you!
I'm happy someone can tell a pandemic joke now. (Hiding from the mail man)
I avoided COVID the entire pandemic only to get it just asmy country was relaxing the rules 😭 I'm so ill
Loved seeing your pincushion! I use my Mom's pincushion made from black velvet material and stuffed with my hair from around 1960.
Thank you for the tutorial suggestion Debbie!
LOOKING GOOD CARLOS
Thank you 😘
Use the sample pot of the paint colour that you chose, to paint a large piece (1metre square) and move that around your room. It will have different tints on different walls, depending on the direction of the daylight and the lamplight.
And you know from your designers’ Colour Theiry, that paint colour is also influenced by curtain and furniture colours and vice versa 🍀
That is a great tip Elisabeth!
I really like your cooking shows
So, I think that the embroidery above the piping is using a technique called couching. If I understood the directions you gave, Carlos, you lay the doubled wool down along the top of the piping and then with a silk thread, you couched the wool down onto the sleeve. i love this technique. I made a complete Christmas wall hanging using a thick gold braid couched down on the background. It was lovely and the best part is that the gold was so thick it would have required a very large needle to actually sew it down. That would have made large holes in the background fabric. As always, I love the entire episode. So much inspiration from you both. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching
Suggestions for pin cushions...make one that is the size of a bowl and glue it in..or a vase , small basket with handle or even a teacup..I have made one in a teacup that is glued to the saucer..works wonderfully! Oh and its large enough it wont get lost..lol
Thank you!
Beautiful pillow!
Arnes your work is just beautiful..love your needlework..the colors are super
PLEASE complete it 😊
What a great episode!
Thank you Claire!
Nice to see you guys my sit & knit a bit is now sit & crochet using mini skeins stash in a colour graded blanket ( my first ) having started crocheting again after 35 yr break 😂🤣😆 UK treble stitch letting the yarn be the star of the project ( no pattern ) looking good so far 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
We hope you join our crochet along!
Good show. Wanted to see the needlepoint Arne teased us with but it didn't happen. Didn't knit as I have to earn the priviledge. Left too many dishes in the sink and had to do that while I watched you guys chat. One way or the other, time well used. Thanks.
Thank you Patricia!
“Little red rooster” is also a sixties song from The Rolling Stones 🎸🎸🎸!
I love your pincushion! I have one like it, made by my great grandmother more than 100 years ago; it, too, has needles lost inside.
I also have a little pillow that I embroidered with my name in my recognizable handwriting when I was 8. My parents were traveling in Europe and we children stayed with our grandmother. She probably thought it would be a sweet gift to my parents as well as a way to keep us children occupied; all I remember is misery stitching that thing. Very untidy stitches - and even worse stitches attaching the little panel onto the pillow. It sits in my living room today and I laugh when I think of it. I loved my grandmother and her mother, my gr-grand, but they were skilled needlewomen and artists - and I was not.
So much in common among all of us around the world, isn’t there? Thanks for this episode.
It sure is😊
that is an organic cauliflower, not cabbage, Arne. Love hearing you talking about other things as well, like music, travel..... Mixing vegetables and flowers is a wonderful idea. I am finishing the Primrose throw while watching this. By the way, I also had the epic novel Jean Christophe (audio book) all this crocheting time. The book was finished last night. Wish I could find a way to upload the 2 blankets I have crocheted. Love your patterns. Love your life.
Thank you!
Have a wonderful day
I spent some time as a "Professional" needlepointer/stitcher for a design company and although I miss it sometimes I got really burned out on it. I love seeing Arne's creations, he has the skills!!!
Loving your colourful pillows...So beautifully sewn Arne. My suggestion for your charger is Dolly, as she seems to bring a spark to your life . Thank you for brightening the day for many people 🌝🌞🌝
Amanda Lear was popular in the 70‘s in the German-speaking countries where she featured in the teen magazines (including all those rumours 🤣🤭)… I still have some great albums on vinyl, the covers were great but some of them wouldn‘t really be permissible nowadays, I guess! I think there were often different versions for different markets.
Your jackets are going to be beautiful !
Thank you!
love Carlos´easter vibe!
The yellow looks good on him :)
You guys are talented as well as entertaining. Thanks for sharing a hour with us all. 👍❤️😊
You are welcome, we are having a LIVE feed tonight so hopefully we join us!
Lovely embroidery! Excited to hear that you'll be touring the U.S. Hello from Portland, Oregon!
Arne please show how you embroider on that canvas in a smooth move, rather than up and down. Txs! Loved this video and didn’t realize I had overlooked watching it.
Thank you for your feedback
I had previously bought the jumper pattern, this month I sent $100NZ to Red Cross ear marked for Ukraine too.
💛💙
Thank you for adding normalcy to my day. Peace and quiet is in such short supply these days. Thank you.
I so enjoy these Sit and Knit sessions! Thank you so much!
-Denise from Texas
Thank you for watching Denise
What a great piece of art! Congrats
Thank you Kika!
Thank you x
Broccolini always goes to flower,,, and your Zinnias are annuals and they don’t like to be transplanted and need lots of hot sun, they grow in Mexico I love all the colors they come in , I will be interested to see if your Zinnias grow,, maybe you will only have them in the Greenhouse
Joy! 😎
Very nice conversational piece. Did not know til now you are going to Venice biennale. It would be nice to see and catch up with my dear Venetian fellow co-workers. Hopefully next time if available.
Yes!
Fantastic work on your folk costume. That white jacket is wonderful…no chocolate ice cream cones for Carlos!
I love your great-grandmother’s pin cushion, Arne, but even more that you are still using it. Her memory is being kept alive by its continued use, and I’m imagining how happy she’d be to know all you have accomplished with it.
That is a very nice thought!
Well, you have had me in stitches many times over the last few years so I am sure there will be no problem with talking about something funny to your group. Fabulous sit and knit and your jackets are looking amazing. I had last years knitted eggs hung in our front garden and they looked wonderful. Love the embroidery and so pleased to hear it is wool that shrinks in the wardrobe - my husband will be delighted to hear you have the same problem in Norway as we do in Cumbria 😂😂
Seriously, it’s the fastest hour of sitting and knitting with you guys! It just flies by! Love how supportive Carlos is of Arne’s work on his jacket ...it’s so sweet!🥰.....(shrinking is a worldwide phenomenon!!!!)🤭🤣
I gave up trying to color match DMC threads with the color cards on the computer and bought a sample card with the actual threads. It was a little on the expensive side, but it makes color matching much easier. I'm sure they have ones for the woolen threads, too. :D
That is a great tip!
A colleague of mine has solar panels on her house - we live in Ottawa - lots of snow here too - she sells her surplus electricity back to the provincial grid - like Arne's friend - you can do it! By the way, I sit and work and listen to you!
In the UK it's a great idea too, do long as you get a good tarrif. Some people complain about it not helping them, but it's cus they are using the council tarrif which is awful. Shop around and get a good tarrif and that helps a lot
Thursdays mornings, for 1 hour you have become my coffee and knit moment. Thank you once again for an entertaining and pleasurable viewing.
Yes we have broccolini in the US.
Congratulations for your electric car ! The folk jackets are really coming along, looking forward to see them finished.
Thank you so much Nicole
What a wonderful episode. I've just sat in the morning sunshine balling up yarn chuckling along. Thank you for such a wonderful start to the day x
We hope the rest of your day stays as nice!
I love that you have your great grandmother's pin cushion! That is certainly a treasure! ❤
Can't wait to see you both in your folk costumes. 🤗😘
Way to go. I have an electric car and I love it. I live in Northern CA and quite a few people have them.
I just started to learn the Norwegian knit style by following your videos and I love it! It feels so natural to how I hold the knitting needles. I wish I had learned it first. My yarn tension has never looked better. Thank you for making these videos for us.
I still prefer English style but I'm glad I learned continental :)
@@Stettafire I initially learned English style. I still like it but there is more movement involved so it isn't as efficient. I wanted to knit faster so I learned continental.
@@sharmilawilliams3599 I'm just as fast with both, but then again I've been knitting since I was 5. My tension is also identical with both :)
❤
oh, i love roxy music so much
Your jackets look stunning - professionals! Thank you for another beautiful episode. You are both so sweet. Arne, I just love your label and the jacket you made for Carlos and that lining…..wow. Extraordinaire 💕
I like the fact that one of you is in a sunflower yellow, and the other in a deep blue. I don't know if you did that deliberately, but it was well done. And by the way, if you're planning on having a neighbor attend to your plants in the greenhouse, make sure it unlocks from the inside - you don't want a repeat of the episode with the trash shed!
😂
So lovely to hear you talk about Roxy Music, I’ve been a fan since 1973. 🥰
Congratulations on still fitting the jacket , Carlos!! That is quite an achievement!!!
Hallo Guys,great it ist Wendsday.In the 80's i was in a Concert of Amanda Lea
Lucky you!
Thank you Arne and Carlos for this episode. I wasn't feeling very well and your "15 minutes" really helped me feel better. I loved the embroidery and your folk costumes.
We are glad you are feeling better❤️
love as always! Hope you tour new england in us
Thanks!
Thank you so much Cheryl - we are doing a LIVE session right now, make sure you join us ua-cam.com/video/pkw62JDoCDQ/v-deo.html
