I think what I love the most about the two of you, the joy that you get out of the smallest things. Dolls, paper masks, tiny theaters, and gardens. You both find so much happiness in everything. It makes me feel better.
SAKFAB makes me so happy. I'm here enjoying some quiet time, and it's the best time to enjoy watching you two. No interruptions! But, Arne, that doll is creepy! I could see the eyes following me. Weird! Love looking at the water while listening to your stories and relaxing with my knitting. Have a super week! ❤
One of the things I love about SAKFAB is the spontaneous way you have of sharing your lives. The funny stories, even of the troubles you have with your renovations and the window is So real, everyone can relate to some bad decorating decisions that they have made in the past. I just love how truly real your videos are.. I am thrilled you are continuing your Wednesday SAKFAB stories. Also, I think that CHER looks her best as a blonde. I can't wait to see the new bigger doll house.... Have a good week and a safe trip back from Sweden.
Whenever you have these mishaps, instead of getting yourselves all upset, just look at one another and remind yourselves, "What a great story this will make for Sit and Knit for a Bit!" 😁
Oh no 🙈. What a “pane.” Does your panoramic window have a 30 day guarantee maybe? Ugh…renovations can be so hard. Hang in there guys. And think how happy we all are to play in the KAL with you! 🥰
I was completely captivated by the view of the lake. ❤ That teal-y/turquoise-y blue looks like the color of my pantry/laundry room. Cheerful and calm. The Pollock purchases are such fun! “The Spitting Llama and The Beautiful Peacock”…sounds like you need to write a book, Arne! 😊
Thanks for a great episode guys. Love the scarf pattern, I'll be knitting along. We have a family of about 15 peacocks living wild a few streets from us. They are always a pleasure to see as you drive past.
Glorious view and funny stories, the perfect accompaniment as I sort out my craft studio after way too much fabric mood board fun this week (if you’re curious you can see three of them featuring lodges of thrusted and vintage treasures over on my channel) cheers, Christine 🤗😍
Hi!! Literally knitting this time! Grateful you will be visiting your family, too! Beautiful greenhouse, even if it's spooky 👍🏼🤗💜🧶💜 also..the knit a long, the 🦚 scarf!!! The blonde doll should be named Paura! Fear in Italian! 😉🇮🇹
Thank you for taking the time to keep us up-to-date and entertained! I’m glad you finally are getting the window that you want; it’s worth it to not look at the wrong one with despair every time you pass it. Ask me how I know this……!
Haha, I love that you're traveling light bc of the Beetle. Picture what my family's Beetle looked like doing a yearlong tour of Europe with me along as a toddler...think c.1960 stroller on the roof rack 😂
Love you guys….. FYI, the English word for the “wood frames” is Mullion. Having done an immense amount of renovation, I can relate to “mistakes”…. But somehow in the end, things always work out. Don’t beat yourselves up! Enjoy that exquisite view!!
Those pieces of wood that run between the window panes are called muntins. Fun fact - they are sometimes confused with mullions, which I see someone else explained are the vertical pieces between two windows.
You both amaze me with how much energy you both have! Keep up the great work with all your projects but remember to take down time. It is very important to do nothing from time to time ❤ 6:20. I want to watch your podcast for a long time to come.
I just fell in love with you guys all over again! ..... the smiles you give me just watching you interacting with the dolls ..... took me back about 55 or so years. I love the way you both live life to the fullest, with no excuses. Please keep it up...... you’re great! Love the benefit of your knitting tips, also........ Take good care of yourselves, & each other! ...... Your friend, Bee 🐝
What a great find with the dolls, can't wait to see how you dress them.....the blonde wig was great! Cameo appearance from Freya, shes gorgeous. Good luck with the renovations; its going to be fantastic when its all done.....how could it not be with you guys in charge lol! I am so enjoying your channel thank you so much.
They're back! SANFAB! Stories. Show and tell. Travel. Garden. Knitting projects. Projects in general. Freya! And, that's the end of May from our friends in Norway. Looking forward to move summer goodness. Keep it coming!
I do hope you'll give us a tour of the new blue room with the purple chairs...and, of course, the blinding window. That just gives you the new job of finding some more gorgeous window coverings!
That’s why renovations happen one room at a time. One room gets done and then another and another to “fix” the problems that always seem to come about! Anyways, hang in there. It’ll all look good when done!
What a carry on getting the windows sorted. Glad u finally decided on the type of window u like. What beautiful view from ur greenhouse. Stunning. Good to c Freya. Have been missing her chasing shadows & Moose. Have a lovely trip to c ur family Carlos. C u 3 on Sunday. 👌👌😎😎❤️❤️👋👋👋👋
Just think of all the little birds lives you will have saved by changing the window... sounds like they'll be better able to see it with the wood mullion dividers you've proposed, which will help, but given your location near the water, they may still see a lot of sky & water reflection from their side of the glass... the black hole you mentioned seeing, Arne. Something to seriously consider. I know and appreciate how much you love watching and knitting birds in the garden. Look up "Bird Safe Glass" and "Bird-Friendly Building Design" for more resources. Thanks and thumbs up for Vardo 🐦🐦🐦
Thank you so much for the time you put in to keeping us inspired. You have got me into bokashi- 4 rotating buckets. I have been looking at my long neglected quilts, and I now have the pattern and the wool for the scarf - deep turquoise blue 💕
Loved hearing your stories; made even nicer because of the view! I think the name of the pieces of wood separating a single window into a grid appearance is muntin, (but there are other names I’ve also heard associated with the wood strips). Your finds from your travels are charming…so much fun watching you unwrap them all!
Carlos, was that a Freudian slip describing the carpenter crew as a “sideshow”, instead of sidekick/assistant? 🤣🤣🤣 The frustration with the window was very apparent. 🙃
Oh my Goodness Carlos, the carpenter's assistant does sound like a 'side show'! His comment would have made me crazy too! We call our house "The Giddy House"... because none of our floors are level either. So much going on for you both in the house! Arne, did you like Kate's dollhouse? Nice to see Freja💖🤗
I love this episode so much. I have the purple shiso in my garden. It reseeds itself every year. It's so beautiful. I'm very excited for the garden series. Thanks for the tip about the garden show with the botanical garden. What do you oil your floors with, linseed oil?
I started a linen lace scarf a few weeks ago, but I definitely need to start a new one with your pattern. I found a Barbara Walker pattern book from 1968 at a thrift store and have been making tiny swatches. If the pattern is easy I can memorize them…. BUT it would be so much nicer with charts! I might be inspired to glue in my own charts. My old knitting and quilt books might become “scrapbooks” 😊
It looks so nice where you are sitting and seeing the lake behind you. I totally understand the renovation nightmares and going through something similar right now and can't wait for it to be done as I also have a new puppy and it makes it harder to deal with! I love that colour you are making the scarf in.....it is a happy colour! I hope you enjoy your visit with your parents Carlos. Arne a vase with peacock feathers in it sounds like a great idea! I just bought the pattern for the scarf and will try to cast on but won't probably be able to keep up with you as I am slower at knitting and especially a lace pattern and have to really concentrate when I am knitting so with a puppy it is hard to do so.
Oh gosh, the view of the lake is so lovely!! And it will be fun to see the newly decorated room once it's finished. But yes, living in construction zones is a nightmare. Bummer.
Oh dear, the dilemma with the windows! Hopefully all good reports next episode regarding windows and wardrobes!! The blonde doll…super creepy!!! 👀That beautiful color in that gorgeous scarf, oh my! And a room in that color. 🥰
“Ephemera” is the term for collectible paper goods that were meant to be disposable but obviously weren’t trashed. Think of postcards, tissue paper decorations, etc. Your kind of collectibles, Arne!
I enjoyed this video so much, and having gone through building a house from scratch and years later, major renovations after moves to different houses, it is never easy,. But it makes for interesting stories- thanks for sharing. June 5 edit: Coincidence! I saw your post yesterday, went to a miniature store 2 hr. away today, and found the Leonie von Wilckens book you showed on the second-hand book shelf, so course I bought it. Just arrived home but will be reading it very soon! (I live near Seattle, Wa.)
Wow ... I also had to have my house raised with hydraulic jacks in the crawl space... but mine was only 2" total, done in several increments. This still caused diagonal cracks over several doorways. I was inside the house while they did it ...and it was frightening. The contractor did not ask if I wanted to remain inside ...there was a lot of "snap, crackle and pop" sounds in the doing of it. With the last lift I really thought the house might come down around me from the sounds in the attic space. So very glad that was repaired. I hope your new window[s] will be just what you like!
I enjoy looking at all the things you two enjoy. You have such a unique collection of things. Such color & and design. It shows how creative you both are. Talent & creativity shows. And I think it would be such a happy visit to sit & have coffee with you. Have a wonderful week .
Nice meeting Cher Arne. Thank you for the video boys. You kept me company while my husband was at Tennis and I was giving a couple of Blythe dolls neck articulation, and photo graphing them. The chat was nice company.
Hi Arne & Carlos ❤ Laughing out loud at the mask on each of you. So goofy I loved it! This was a most entertaining episode. So sorry about the window debacle 😮. Live and learn as they say. And Arne, I think your dolls are so much fun. It is so cool that you make clothes for them. I have always loved dolls and I’m 66 yrs old, haha. Keep enjoying the summer and life in general. Love to you both.
Very happy you are back with SAKFAB =) Love your ephemra - so cute....that color yarn - fantastic - i adore that color - sitting here watching with some Knit Picks yarn - Chroma in the color Surf's up - very similiar to your peacock feather scarf Arne ! xo
What a lovely place you are sitting in! I just love to see the lake in your videos. And your house and the surroundings, it‘s so beautiful! And it‘s so fun that you are always sitting in a different spot. In my head, you are living in a house with at least 20 rooms, because it always looks so different and never gets boring 😂 Ps.: these dolls are worse than the clown 😱
I love the sight of the Lake behind you. Will you please. move over so I can see it better? (Ha Ha, just kidding!) SO happy you are with us all summer. Looking forward to your adventures at home and wherever. I had never heard a funny windows story before, but now I have a memorable one.
I love the fashion doll, though no, she does not look like Cher. I cannot wait to see her if you bring her on the August cruise, and all the clothes you make. Would love to learn how to make a pattern. I collect dolls - though mostly folk dolls. The two from Norway are Garden Nissa's. I think they are like the Barn Nissas that bring gifts. Your lake is beautiful, and the window story is hilarious. I am still in the Blyth dolls are creepy, but the new one is worse.
Oh, and you might be able to find silk decorator peacock feathers. At one point peacock feathers were illegal in the U.S. because the birds were being hunted just for their feathers. Not sure about now.
Thank you. Love spending time with you. The Redd Barna sweater is almost finished. I had a hard time wrapping my head around the decrease and working the pattern.
What great view...so jealous. Your color selections of paint always produce excellent results. Hoping the teal will be perfection. Now I'll be checking out vardo
I think the wrong blue can make things look very cold.the colour you mention is a nice warm colour,. A few colour cushions may change the appearance of the chair. Oh dear I would also have been a bit cross with the window situation.. sounds like you have had a few issues to deal with. Problem when you start things isn’t it. It also causes other problems. You will get there in the end and laugh at these times, it may. It feel like that at the moment. I speak from first hand experience, enjoy your time in Sweden.. well at least the wardrobe will be the way you want it. The 2000 dollars is for someone on the make I think. No way should you be paying that. They say peacock feathers are bad luck to have in your house. Maybe an old wife’s tale. But sounds like you don’t need anymore. Hope you find family ok when you visit,
Beautiful background today. Spring has finally arrived at your house! Has all the snow melted away now? Freja looks very pretty after her grooming. 🤗 Sounds like you have a lot to do when you return from Sweden. Safe travels! ❤😘
$2000 to paint a wardrobe? 😮 Crazy! I love your love of dolls. So much fun. Also love the color of your scarf and paint. Pale teal is a favourite color of mine so I hope you show us the finished room. Please do an interior design book...please? With home projects for knitting and sewing in it. 😊
I think what I love the most about the two of you, the joy that you get out of the smallest things. Dolls, paper masks, tiny theaters, and gardens. You both find so much happiness in everything. It makes me feel better.

Teal is one of my favourite colours.
Can't wait to see the room when it is finished.
Beautiful view and great video! Loved all of the stories and activities. Thank you all!
You do make me laugh! The mask on Arne is hilarious!!!

Oh no 🙈. What a “pane.” Does your panoramic window have a 30 day guarantee maybe? Ugh…renovations can be so hard. Hang in there guys. And think how happy we all are to play in the KAL with you! 🥰
yay puns! 😂
I agree with Carlos, the Italian doll's coat looks just like a Chanel styled coat. Arne, I love how you always find the silver lining in life.
Thank you Susan!
That vase with peacock feathers and large plumed grass was in the sixties decor. Put them in large vases to fill in areas with interés.
Beautiful!
Quad bikes have 4 wheels. makes them more stable to ride but they can flip so take care to slow down before turning and don't turn suddenly!
I was completely captivated by the view of the lake. ❤
That teal-y/turquoise-y blue looks like the color of my pantry/laundry room. Cheerful and calm.
The Pollock purchases are such fun!
“The Spitting Llama and The Beautiful Peacock”…sounds like you need to write a book, Arne! 😊
Thanks for a great episode guys. Love the scarf pattern, I'll be knitting along.

Omg my home office is vardo I love it!
😍
That is quite the fashion model of a doll. Love her coat.

I can’t wait to see the purple chair unearthed and put in a proper place. The purple chair caught my eye during the studio tour.
oooo I'll have to go back and look for that purple chair in the studio tour video - it sounds lovely
I love the colour Purple...sounds lovley...
Just think of all the little birds lives you will have saved by changing the window... sounds like they'll be better able to see it with the wood mullion dividers you've proposed, which will help, but given your location near the water, they may still see a lot of sky & water reflection from their side of the glass... the black hole you mentioned seeing, Arne.

Oh my..” a vase in the drawing room with peacock feathers”. Arne is a comedian🤣🤣🤣Your scarf is fabulous dahling. 🥰
I now also want a "Vahz" with peacock feathers! 🤣
I love Teal. You guys use colors so well. I am always inspired by you. Have a wonderful day. 😊 ❤
You as well Anne!
Thank you guys for telling us about Kate. I so enjoy her various videos too.
It looks so nice where you are sitting and seeing the lake behind you.

Our house is 150 years old and we use blocks all the time under furniture and stands.
Oh gosh, the view of the lake is so lovely!! And it will be fun to see the newly decorated room once it's finished. But yes, living in construction zones is a nightmare. Bummer.
Love these feel good guys. Hope the renovations go well.❤❤
Radish seed pods are great to eat !
Oh dear, the dilemma with the windows! Hopefully all good reports next episode regarding windows and wardrobes!! The blonde doll…super creepy!!! 👀That beautiful color in that gorgeous scarf, oh my! And a room in that color. 🥰
Is the rubber hand to help open a jar lid?
“Ephemera” is the term for collectible paper goods that were meant to be disposable but obviously weren’t trashed. Think of postcards, tissue paper decorations, etc. Your kind of collectibles, Arne!

Hello from sunny hot Montreal Canada, 32 degrees Celsius. Not as hot as in your green house though. Arne your lace shawl is spectacular !
Add a peach throw on your blue chair. And a lovely pillow with connecting colors. Lovely video! Thank you!!
Great to see you both again. I’ve been busy so I’m binge watching your videos 😁😁 Be well, Sally 🌹
I wish you would show us the window so we know what your talking about
Its an eyesore
Sorry about your window headaches, but not sorry to see Carlos’ imitation of a vampire overcome by the sunlight!
I really enjoy your podcast! I'm always l learning new things and love the history of things
I really enjoy your podcast! I'm always l learning new things and love the history of things
I assume the painter didn't want to hand paint so he quoted you a higher price.
I think the blonde wig was the best fit and style for "Cher" though I loved the blue wig too. 😉🤩❤
It is so peaceful just seeing your gorgeous lake in the background.
I've got a garden and an allotment and I feel like things are late this year. Everything seems confused!
Love to see you again ....your funny as well....the dolls were cool.....
Have you thought about using Patreon? I find that a more user friendly format.
We have yes, but have decided to use UA-cam
Love the beautiful view from the greenhouse and your interesting toy store treasures!
You can still get a harvest from the radishes after they flower. They produce edible seed pods that are great in stir fries
Oh I looked up the paint colour..... it's beautiful.
Always look forward to seeing you both!!
How many balls of rowan felted tweed and what is the colour please for the scarf?
Sounds like you need another labelled laundry basket for clean clothes
What about the length of curtains with leveling the floors?
True, that is a good dilemma.
Ooooo, 12 minutes!
Nice meeting Cher Arne. Thank you for the video boys. You kept me company while my husband was at Tennis and I was giving a couple of Blythe dolls neck articulation, and photo graphing them. The chat was nice company.
Haha! I just planted some Shiso yesterday!! Enjoy 😉 (ps hilarious story about the window 😂)
❤️
I wish I could play with your dolls! I love Cher!
Hi Arne & Carlos ❤ Laughing out loud at the mask on each of you. So goofy I loved it! This was a most entertaining episode. So sorry about the window debacle 😮. Live and learn as they say.

Very happy you are back with SAKFAB =) Love your ephemra - so cute....that color yarn - fantastic - i adore that color - sitting here watching with some Knit Picks yarn - Chroma in the color Surf's up - very similiar to your peacock feather scarf Arne ! xo
It is good to be back Laurie!
What a lovely place you are sitting in! I just love to see the lake in your videos. And your house and the surroundings, it‘s so beautiful! And it‘s so fun that you are always sitting in a different spot. In my head, you are living in a house with at least 20 rooms, because it always looks so different and never gets boring 😂

Put the dolls with the clown painting!😳🥺

We all need a fun window story in our life!
🎶 Do you believe in life after love? 🎼 Is that the song you were humming, Arne?
I feel your pain. We did an entire-house Reno back in 2019 and my husband and I painted the entire interior walls--107 gallons of paint1
That is a lot of paint!
Thanks for another great SAKFAB! Love you guys! You always inspire me and make me smile
Keep on smiling!
Maybe the hand is to help you with "jazz hands"
😅👍🏻
I love the fashion doll, though no, she does not look like Cher. I cannot wait to see her if you bring her on the August cruise, and all the clothes you make.

Thank you. Love spending time with you. The Redd Barna sweater is almost finished. I had a hard time wrapping my head around the decrease and working the pattern.
We are glad you got there in the end.
If you want to buy me a plane ticket, I'll come paint your wardrobes for you. It'll probably cost less than $2k right? 😅
Most likely yes!
I think I'm going to buy the pattern, and make cowls with them for charity
That is nice of you
Save yourselves some time and have the primer tinted in your paint color for wardrobes! Have fun!,
That is a great suggestion!
She looks like a Madame Alexander doll❤
What great view...so jealous. Your color selections of paint always produce excellent results. Hoping the teal will be perfection. Now I'll be checking out vardo

I clothe myself. I wear clothes. ♥
Beautiful background today. Spring has finally arrived at your house! Has all the snow melted away now?
Freja looks very pretty after her grooming. 🤗
Sounds like you have a lot to do when you return from Sweden. Safe travels! ❤😘
You guys are great!
$2000 to paint a wardrobe? 😮 Crazy! I love your love of dolls. So much fun. Also love the color of your scarf and paint. Pale teal is a favourite color of mine so I hope you show us the finished room. Please do an interior design book...please? With home projects for knitting and sewing in it. 😊
