"Linseed oil" was a wonderful moment (among many!). Arne is like a mischievous little imp! The two of you are such a joy. Thank you so much for all you do for us.
Thank you for watching us Yvonne!
Love Arne’s sense of humor. “Linseed Oil” 😂🤣
OMG so funny!
😂
Me too, well they are 2 peas in a pod.
Please share your dogs and the fancy bed.
Oh Arne you do make me laugh. Saying Linseed oil through the magnifying glass. I love your chats.
Thank you Sue!
He is such a cutie, but Carlos too is very loveable in his own way. But the best is both of them together❣️
Good things come in packages, don‘t they😉
As a child in rural Devon, in England, in the 60's and 70's, we would earn a few pennies by picking up and setting the 9 wooden bowling pins for the adults as they played. My family had a home made bowling alley in one of the farm outbuildings and once a week they played in a tournament in the local pub. We considered ourselves very lucky if we were one of the kids chosen to go and set the pins for the tournaments in the pub, as we would get paid in fish and chips! Talking of history, thank you for the recommendation of Atlantic Crossing - we are very much enjoying this series - a piece of history I knew very little about. Thank you!!
You two are so interesting, all the different things you talk about and your shared experiences. You make me laugh and bring a smile to my face🙂
Keep on smiling!
Arne, my darling, you collect Everything!!! 😂😘 .... well everything that is beautiful, quirky, antique, or inspirational
True!
That was so funny when Arne did the introduction with the magnifying glass in front of him. Repeating "linseed oil" was hysterical, "because you know English is my first language".😂 Such a great sense of humour!
Each podcast is a fascinating foray into your universe. So entertaining, so fun.
Thank you for all that you do for us.
The bowling pins would make unique peg dolls. You could have a whole family using your fantastic imagination. Love Carlos’ sweater.
That would be cute!
Around 2001 I was working for a telecommunications company installing fiber optic cable in Texas and we stayed at an RV park in San Saba, Texas and the owners had 9 pin bowling set up in the evenings. She taught us to set up in a 3 pin square. I traveled all over the USA for that job and I didn’t see anyone else play 9 pin lawn bowling. The women that ran the RV park said her great grandparents migrated from Europe and brought the game with them. She had two original pins and a hand carved ball from them tucked away in a chest. They were wonderful host that I remained friends with long after leaving Texas. They have both since passed. Thanks for reminding my memory of such great people. They called is something other than bowling but I can’t remember, it was 20 years ago.
That is such a nice story, great that the owner kept up the tradition. You must have meet a lot of interesting people!
Hello Arne and Carlos.
My name is Marina.
I apologize in advance for the mistakes, since I do not speak English and write with the help of a google translator.
Accidentally hit your channel. And now. without stopping, I watch all the videos.
I've been knitting for almost 50 years.
I was born in Ukraine, lived in Latvia for 5 years. Therefore, I love and understand Scandinavian knitting, especially Norwegian patterns.
Now I have been living in Israel for 27 years. Israel is not a knitting country due to its hot climate. But I still knit, as this is my hobby for life.
Recently knitted 2 sweaters with a marius pattern. I liked it very much.
It’s a pity that I don’t know how to send you a photo for you to see.
Thank you so much for your channel, for the homely atmosphere, for your humor.
Yours faithfully,
Marina.
Hi Marina, no need to apologise, your English is really good. Welcome to our channel!
Those wooden bowling pins are a work of art! They may have come from the decorative section of the 18th century IKEA. Oh Carlos, you are so kind to try to make Arne think the mashed potatoes tasted good. Your episodes are getting better and better.
Thank you Donna, we really appreciate your feedback!
I love Sit and Knit for a Bit so much! Sometimes I watch it twice. ❤️
I do the same 👍
🤗
Skittles - used to be played in British pubs in the Skittle Alley outside. There was also a miniture version with the ball on a string that sat on a table. Arne I can see those Skittles painted and dressed as fashion dolls. You both deserve an Oscar for your entertainment value :))
Do all Norwegians have ancient UFOs? I have 45+ year old UFOs I have moved too many times to count! I am determined to finish them! I may never die!! 😆
Thank you both for a lovely break and laugh to my day! ❤️
We still have a skittles alley in a pub in the next village from us
😃
Arne and Carlos you are such a joy to watch!
Thank you Cheryl
You guys make life better.....so thankful for your podcasts, every single one. ❤️
Thank you for watching Leslie!
My two favourite people every week - Arne and Carlos you are hilarious and full of wonderful surprises every week!!! I laughed so hard watching Arne talking into the magnification glass 😂😂!!! You bring sunshine and fun to us all!!! Thank you sooooo sooooo much 🥰🥰
You are very welcome Maaike!
You guys are getting so entertaining with your videos, Arne’s has a very playful side, and Carlos you do very well at going along with his shenanigans. Carlos your sweater is so unique, you guys must have the most interesting collection of shirts and sweaters, always eye catching. Thanks for sharing, always entertaining. 👍❤️😊
Thank you for watching Carmen, we really appreciate your feedback!
You are wonderful Arne, I love your sense of humor and your zest for life❤️
Thank you Sue!

Queridos! I watched this a week late...ni modo! It is always a pleasure. Big love from Chicago!
Thank you Liza, better late thank never!
I just appreciate you both so much! You are both beautifully unique & you are both so full of fun xx
I love how you adore your precious poodles & you will do anything to make sure they feel safe & secure.
I love how you love each other! You are so kind to each other! Just awesome ✨
Thank you so much Natalie!
The greatest thing about getting “older” is getting excited about things that you find again! It’s so funny that we think we are the only ones doing this😂
UFO's! Un-finished objects. That broke me up, I have about 5.
Another great watch 😆🌍🇦🇺👍
Thank you Lynda!
In the short story by Washington Irving, ‘Rip Van Winkle’, published in 1819, Rip helps a man carry a keg up a mountain in New York’s Catskills. He meets a group of men playing nine pins who give him a special liquor to drink. They are the ghosts of Henry Hudson’s Dutch crew ( he explored the Hudson River). Rip falls asleep for twenty years, waking with a foot long beard, and returning to his village to find many changes, including the American Revolution. When I was little and we would drive from New Jersey to New York and heard thunder, my parents would say it was Henry Hudson’s men playing ninepins. So another (old) reference to ninepins in America.
That is such a nice memory to have!
Good luck with your renovation! Our “4week” renovation just took 12 weeks!!!!! You are doing such a good job with Helmer. He is probably happier having clear boundaries established. Keep on knitting! ❤️ from 🇨🇦
You two are just hysterical. You remind me of my favorite queens in Indianapolis!
Again love love your stories thank you
Thank you for watching Giselle!
My knitting group started up this week after being off for a year. What a wonderful day and the feeling of freedom!! We even went to lunch afterwards. We have all been vaccinated so no masks. Looking forward to you both being able to travel again. Hugs.
Congratulations and that was great to hear!
Arne,
I have two eggs like the one you showed tonight. I have had them for about twenty years; a pink one and a blue one. They have some of my two younger sisters' cremains. When I pass, they will go with me. Enjoyed Sit and Knit tonight.
Thank you for joining us!
The new sock yarns you have designed look fantastic 👍
Thank you Theresa!
You guys are the Best . You make me smile and laugh out loud . What a treasure your Podcast is >> THANK you very much for that
Thank you for watching!
We have Napolean pastries here as well (Canada). There is a layer of pastry, a layer of vanilla custard, a layer of pastry, a layer of whip cream and a layer of pastry with vanilla glaze with drizzled chocolate glaze. They also can be made with just custard or just whip cream. They are very good.
Arne, you will have to wait to work on your cruise sweater until you can cruise again! That way your tension will relax again! You guys have a wonderful sense of humour! 😄
Thank you!
Here in the Netherlands we also know the Napoleon pastry, but here it's called tompouce. It's a very popular pastry. Normally the icing is pink, but on kings day, when we celebrate the birthday of our king, the icing is orange. (The name of the kings family is "van Oranje", which means " from Orange").
That is a great tradition!
Love your talking and having fun conversation - your life is cheering and i feel like life is so fresh and great! Thank you! - new ideas and new recipes, too! Love your doggies, too- see you later!🥰
See you later Sandra!
Very funny podcast
Admiration of restraint shown by Arne in the charity shop unfinished box
Bet he will be back soon rummaging through 😆🤣😂😄 see what he’s missed
True!
You two are just the sweetest guys together. I will miss the sit n knits but I fully understand your need to travel. I cannot wait to get up and go too. But at least no can watch them all again at any time. I cannot wait to see the new yarns. I am so happy Helmer is being a good boy. See you Sunday
See you Janika!
Whenever I hear "Two weeks, two weeks" in relationship to home repairs, I think of Tom Hanks and Shelly Long in the movie The Money Pit. Oh, my...you maybe in for a rough ride.
Love the color combination of the sweater!
Thank you Sallie!
So funny, you two always cheer me up. 🥰🥰
Thank you!
BEST COMMENT: Arne about the mashed potatoes: "I don't know how I did it, but I did it so well!"...
Love , love, love the colours in the 30 year old WIP ...Arne you have inspired me. Thank you both.
You both are so much fun. Thank you for sharing your stories and time. Take care.
You as well Donna!
Thank you both so much. Carlos ~ I have learnt so much from you and all your ‘research’ ~ I really enjoy your podcasts.
Thank you for watching Sally!
Art Deco lamps sound lovely. I laughed when Arne says it is minimalist at your place and he needs to buy knickknacks and Carlos rolls his eyes at Arne's many boxes.
Sit and Knit is my favorite! I look forward to each episode. I never tire of the chatter. ❤️
Good to hear!
You guys always talk about the best things. RuPaul’s Drag Race (love it), good dogs, good baking/bad cooking, new socks to knit and ufos. Btw, I cannot drink my tea anymore while I watch S&KFAB because you’re too funny 😂 🔎🧶👀
You will have to switch to ice tea!
Enjoy you two so much and love the history, memories, of your past.❤️
Thank you Gail!
Thank you for all you do! For many years I have enjoyed your books, patterns, and your wonderful videos. I am so in love with your crafts, which has made me fall in love with Norway. What a beautiful country! Thank you!
You are welcome!💖
The colour is the back is fantastisc/ this screen is gorgeous!!
Thank you!
I've just had a vlog pop up 9f yourselves 11 years ago!!! A fashion show in your own language. You looked so different. Your English is excellent
Enjoy listening to you both. God bless💕
Thank you!
Yes, a knitting cruise!!
Yay!
Hi A & C. Yes Arne, you do have to keep making any award winning products. Cook the rolls for 30 to 35 minutes. When making the braided bread it takes longer to bake. I’m going to try the black metal bird for my woodpeckers. Yes we do have Neapolitan cake in the US.
Thank you Linda!
This knitting is another virus.
It’s the same with me, I can’t stop knitting.🤷♀️
Now in spring I’ve been working, no...hobbying... in the garden and when I come in.....🧶🧶🧶🧶
Only my hands are so raw, the yarn keeps hanging on my fingers.☹️
But I like to get my hands in the ground, I must deal with it.
Those fifteen minutes with you is too short. 🤣
I love your story’s, humor and things you’ve make.
Keep going on !
Love lily🌸
We had that same issue last year, dry, garden hands
Love you guys!! Love Arne’s hair, especially when he fluffs
Thank you for the laughs Arne. I can’t wait to get more info about the sock yarn. Love the colors you are using!
See you Sunday!
The Play with the 9 pins and the balls without holes is „Kegeln“ in Germany, the „Pons“- translater translates it with „to play Scittles“. „Kegeln“ and bowling is something different in Germany. The young people go bowling, the older people go „kegeln“.There is another difference: when you are bowling, you can throw two times to get all pins away, when you are „kegeln“, you have only one throw. I like both! Thank you for your videos, I like them very much and hope to train my english with it.
Thank you for sharing Gisela!
I am in stitches. You are a pure joy to watch. See you Sunday.
See you!
I enjoyed this video - the bowling pins are beautiful they sure would be an interesting art installation .
Love the colours in ARNE’s blanket!
Thank you!
Salt is added to yeast breads not only for flavor but to inhibit the yeast growth so the bread doesn't rise too high. Arne is "Miss Brioche 2021" indeed...lol.
Thank you for this information Marcia!
To me these could pass for chess pawns,haven't played chess in a long time. Giant chess set.
Always so entertaining!, Thank you!
You are welcome!
Hahaha, again shopping for great things! I love the magnifier! It gives you a wonderful smile!!!!!❤❤❤
Thank you very much Cecilia!
Those bowling pins are GORGEOUS! Beautiful cracks in the wood.. they remind me, in spirit not scale, of old bobbin lace bobbins that I have, and you've inspired me to put them on display now! They also remind me of the vintage style kokeshi dolls, that have minimalist red and black markings. I am imagining your bowling pins in minimalist knitted tubing now. I hope you gave them a nice place on display by now. greetings from Ireland
That is a great comparison, the do in a way and are both worth displaying.
Thank again for a wonderful 15 minutes video ! The colours of the socks are really nice. Love them, good job. Have a nice end of the week.
You as well!
The new embroidery you are finishing...gorgeous! I can't wait to see it completed. And I am looking forward to knitting the new sock yarn. Carlos...I don't multi task very well either...I am so bad at it I can't drive and carry on a conversation at the same time.🤪🤣 we are deep focus-ers.
😂
Carlos, I do love your sweater. Arnie I might have a UFO older than yours. I started a satin stitch embroidered tablecloth with matching napkins in 1968. I have the napkins done and only one corner of the cloth. 🤪
That is old, but you are almost there!
OMG how many ways can you make me laugh. I appreciate why you’ll stop Sit and knit for a bit but, for me, it will be a sad day indeed. In the meantime, see you Sunday 🥳🥳🥳. Thanks from Australia 🐨🦘😷
See you Sunday!
Love love love the podcast! 🤗 the new yarns are beautiful. It’s great going through old stuff, because it becomes “new” again. 😂 have a great week!
It is like going treasure hunting!
You two are amazingly funny. Love checking in every week .😍
Thank you for watching!
I'm excited about the new yarn! 🌺🌷❤
We are very happy about it!
Sweet blanket and I can’t wait to pick up some of your new yarn!!
Happy knitting!
I am originally from upstate New York. We often had Napoleon pastries on Sunday's after church. We could purchase them from one of the many Italian bakeries, or my Aunt, who was an AMAZING baker would make them. I haven't thought about them for a long time. I don't think I can find them here in central Virginia. You have made my mouth water (after I got rid of the image of mashed potato glue).... thanks again for making me smile and laugh.
You are welcome!
You guys are so fun to watch!!
Thank you Cecilia!
Very interesting, as always! Thank you. And this beautiful old wine-red wooden wall behind you......perfect!
Thank you!
Time to check all the string hangers. This is your warning.. only one fell. That's s good thing. Glad no one got hurt. Love these videos. We get to see your personalities and sense of humors a little more.
🤗
Thanks guys for entertaining us yet again. My mother in law in the UK (Cornwall) plays skittles, with 9 pins and a ball with no holes.
I love your bowling pins. They'd look great with a piece of thick glass across the top to make a coffee table.
Once again ...You guys are amazing. Loooove your podcast.
Many Blessings...😍😍😍😍😍🤩
Thank you Terry!
I ❤️ you both! I have to catch up on your chats and tutorials. Life gets in the way. I’m a grandma supervising virtual school for my 3 grand children. They are all back at least part time now. Mostly, it’s preparing endless snacks and meals. This time will pass though and life will return to normal. It’s such a pleasure to knit along with you! I want to mention candlepin bowling here in the US, primarily in the northeast. Your pins are beautiful. The candlepins are narrow and struck with small balls that fit in your hand. No holes. It’s fun for all ages to play. I would love to join you both in a class sometime when travel resumes. Best wishes!
Thank you!
It would be interesting to hear about what a day would look like on one of your cruises. Wish you would stay home and keep visiting and inspiring us though.
That is a fun idea!
I have a very similar yarn holder and LOVE it! It's my favorite knitting accessory. Fun podcast and I'm happy to hear that it seems Helmer is a permanent part of your household now. You're all lucky to have each other!
True!
With the bowling pins you could make 2 sitetables.
I have 2 UFO's, 25 year old embroidery, a big picture of townlife, and a 15 years crochet, sets for plates, where you put the using plates on it. Sorry, my english. 😇
But I will finish any time from now. 😉😁
Your English is great!
You two are so hilarious. I'm sitting here sewing away at project bags and catching up on Sit and Knit for a Bit, with work cancelled because of new restrictions in Kristiansand (I play in the orchestra here) and it's like having two friends in the room. I love how, at nearly an hour and 15 minutes you say that your 15 minutes must be up. You can keep talking as far as I am concerned!
A delight to listen to you both as always, with your interesting and funny tales. Loving the beautiful embroidery and the sock yarn is gorgeous. I shall miss these times when you both return to your travels. Take care and keep sharing your joy 🧶🧵🌸
We will Sarah-Jane and thank you for watching!
"Knit Like a Norwegian" calls you Rock Stars. What a nice compliment. Enjoy your podcasts so much!
Thank you!
Rubbery smashed potatoes .....still giggling!! BTW- if you beat the potatoes too long it releases the starch and they get gooey and rubbery. 😋
Thank you for the tip!
Very enjoyable show today. And they do play Kubb in Eau Claire, WI
Yes Wisconsin! Nephews brought it to our home in northern WI last summer. Interesting game🤔
What a lovely visit. All the time I was looking at bowling pins, all I could see, inverted, were coffee table legs. Arne was on very good form and I look forward to seeing what else he unearths in the clear up. Did you know that Brioche is delicious lightly toasted. Also if it goes a little bit stale, you can make nice puddings, like Queen of Puddings, Bread Pudding etc.
Thank you for all those tips Christina!
Hello Arne, hi Carlos. Great to see you. I did enjoy your video. The new yarns for the socks is lovely. I love the jumper that you are working on Arne. The colours are scrummylicious. Also, the vintage giant granny square is very special I think, those colours are gorgeous too. Take care guys and I look forward to seeing you both on Sunday xxx
See you Sunday Annie!!
Yes this Spring weather in my city (Ontario 🇨🇦) has been cold, now it starting to get warmer😊. Love the colours on your new Regia collection. Have to see if my LYS has it already. Great podcast and great topics as always. Till next week and good luck with your renovations. We are also renovating our basement, lots of work but looking forward to see the finish product 😀.
Hope the work goes well and fire goes back without any problems!
Arne your English is very good. Liking the new sock yarn also. 👌
Thank you Sheriden!
I definitely want to be on the waiting list for the next cruise!
Really enjoyed this video and you two make me laugh. I also loved the sweater that Carlos was wearing.
Thank you!
LOL, I love your intro Arne :-)
Actually ib American bowling you aim for just to the right of the center pin to allow for a chain reaction of pins falling. Your picture looks like what we call Lawn Bowling.to
For mashed potatoes I would not use the cooking water as the liquid because it's full of starch which makes the potatoes turn into glue. I like to use milk instead (and of course butter).
Thank you for the mashed potato tip!
When I do mashed potatoes I steam the potatoes until done. Then I put them in a saucepan and use the “old fashioned” masher as Arne calls it. I add a good knob of butter, a splash of milk, salt and pepper and mash a little more. Then I use the electric hand mixer for just a few minutes to make them smooth.
Hope that helps Arne.
Thank you for the tips Helen!
Thanks. Loved the magnifying glass. So funny! Love your stories.
So do we!
I love your sock yarn. I knit a pair of sock for my husband from your Parfect line. So wonderful. Looking forward to the new release of colorways. As always, this is one of your fans thanking you :o)
Carlos' face when Arne mentioned the box 🤣🤣🤣 - love you guys ♥️
Thank you!
Funny! Make a outdoor alley...Have a garden party and include bowling as a game. Thanks
Good idea!
Oh goodness. So much that made me LOL in this episode. Mashed potatoes was the best.
Think of how much Arne's cooking would improve with all that practice if he does the cooking while Carlos tends to the live chats! Practice makes perfect 😃 hehe This was a lovely, fun and entertaining visit with you two. I look forward to our next sit and knit visit 🥰
See you soon!
Hi Arne&Carlos,
Loved today😀 you both brighten up my day💕
KimX
Thank you for joining us today Kim!
