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.
"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.
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.
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
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!!
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 🥰🥰
Me too! Arne brings more laughing with his little imps catch me by a surprise! but i’m new( more than 1yr) and i love these two- Arne and Carlos 🥰Thank you🥰
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.
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. 👍❤️😊
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 ✨
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!🥰
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.
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. 🤪
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! ❤️
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.
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.
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 🇨🇦
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!
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
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 🧶🧵🌸
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.
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
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! 😄
I hope you can get your vaccination soon..I got mine and had no problems...I think we are all a little stir crazy right now. I'm so ready for covid to be less then what it is!! Here in Ohio the weather has been cold and rainy. We have had some sunshine but not much warmth yet. Stay warm and sane and keep up with your Sit and Knit! I so look forward to your new episodes!
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!
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 🐨🦘😷
I couldn’t sleep, so I got up and thought I’d watch you guys because it’s so nice to have a visit. I want to try the toe-up socks and the afterthought heel, but I really like the look of cuff-down socks and the traditional heel, so I haven’t tried those other ones yet. I knit socks two at a time on two 24 inch circulars.
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.
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 will enjoy your “yarn unwinder”. I have 2 of hem and use them everyday when I knit. Mine are made by an artisan in New Brunswick from reclaimed wood.. Thank you for these sit and knit for a bit videos
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
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.
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!
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.
Hi Boy's I have a wool winder my Daughter got it for me as a birthday present, brilliant. Arne I remember making glue with flour and water, and also rose petals in water to make perfume, happy days. Carlos I love your sweater. Bye for now 🙋
Cream slice, with cream in the middle, vanilla slice with custard in the middle, bavarian slice with cream whipped into the custard and jam on the bottom layer and all covered with thick, water icing, made with icing sugar and a little water.
I cannot believe it. When you brought out the ball "unwinder" I remembered that I too have one. It's been sitting on my bookshelf in front of my knitting chair for years and I totally forgot that I have it. I'm using it now - as I'm coming to the finish of an entire sweater! I wonder what else you will find in your "stuff" that I also have? Please, only find useful stuff. I have plenty of the other.
SO relaxed today as I watched the rest of your podcast. Actually finished the ribbing on my tweed vest 😌. I think Arne needs to do “text to speech” again. Hilarious 🤣. And I LOVE the colors on Arne’s UFO sweater. Any chance it will appear in the store? Thanks boys for spending virtual time with us. Takes skill, Carlos, to knit,and talk! Much harder than knit and watch. 💖
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.
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😂
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.
As always, I enjoyed this sit and knit. So sorry to hear about your art that came crashing down off of the wall. Hopefully you can get it re-framed. Thank you for sharing.
We have Nine Pin Bowling in the UK. It's often played in pubs. Thanks for the entertainment A & C. Although it's only 15 minutes, I usually have to watch it in instalments! My husband has started watching/listening as well. He doesn't knit/sew/crochet, but he does have a 'black belt in shopping' in what we call Charity Shops.
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.
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.
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 😀.
A charming visit with you two, as usual. Wish you would do a real tour of your very interesting house - after the renovation? Loved hearing about the nine pins version of bowling.
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!

Love Arne’s sense of humor. “Linseed Oil” 😂🤣

Please share your dogs and the fancy bed.
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.
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😉

You two are just hysterical. You remind me of my favorite queens in Indianapolis!

That is such a nice story, great that the owner kept up the tradition. You must have meet a lot of interesting people!
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!
You both are so much fun. Thank you for sharing your stories and time. Take care.
You as well Donna!
Again love love your stories thank you
Thank you for watching Giselle!
Another great watch 😆🌍🇦🇺👍
Thank you Lynda!

Thank you Theresa!
Enjoy you two so much and love the history, memories, of your past.❤️
Thank you Gail!
I am in stitches. You are a pure joy to watch. See you Sunday.
See you!
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!
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 🇨🇦

Good to hear!
So funny, you two always cheer me up. 🥰🥰
Thank you!

Thank you!
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!
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 🧶🧵🌸

Yum. Thank you for reminding me of Napoleon's cake. My mother use to make those on special occasions. I'm in New Zealand. Good memories.
You should make them one day!!
"Knit Like a Norwegian" calls you Rock Stars. What a nice compliment. Enjoy your podcasts so much!
Thank you!
Love the color combination of the sweater!
Thank you Sallie!
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!

That is a great comparison, the do in a way and are both worth displaying.
Always so entertaining!, Thank you!
You are welcome!
Wonderful as always!! We use linseed oil for our garden utensils...if they have wood handles!!
Good use!
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!
Very interesting, as always! Thank you. And this beautiful old wine-red wooden wall behind you......perfect!
Thank you!
I hope you can get your vaccination soon..I got mine and had no problems...I think we are all a little stir crazy right now. I'm so ready for covid to be less then what it is!! Here in Ohio the weather has been cold and rainy. We have had some sunshine but not much warmth yet. Stay warm and sane and keep up with your Sit and Knit! I so look forward to your new episodes!
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!💖
I always reduce baking time with the convection oven - that fan makes all the difference!!!
Thanks, guys!! Always enjoy your installment!!
Thank you for watching!
You two are amazingly funny. Love checking in every week .😍
Thank you for watching!
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!
Hi Arne&Carlos,
Loved today😀 you both brighten up my day💕

Thank you for joining us today Kim!

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.
🤗
I love Carlos sweater. The two of you are wonderful together. I look forward to you both Wednesday and Sunday
Thank you for watching us Sheryle!
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 will enjoy your “yarn unwinder”. I have 2 of hem and use them everyday when I knit. Mine are made by an artisan in New Brunswick from reclaimed wood.. Thank you for these sit and knit for a bit videos
Thank you for joining us Norma!
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!!
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.
You guys are so fun to watch!!
Thank you Cecilia!
Once again ...You guys are amazing. Loooove your podcast.
Many Blessings...😍😍😍😍😍🤩
Thank you Terry!
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!
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!
The colour is the back is fantastisc/ this screen is gorgeous!!
Thank you!
Hi Boy's
I have a wool winder my Daughter got it for me as a birthday present, brilliant.
Arne I remember making glue with flour and water, and also rose petals in water to make perfume, happy days.
Carlos I love your sweater.
Bye for now 🙋
Thanks. Loved the magnifying glass. So funny! Love your stories.
So do we!
Cream slice, with cream in the middle, vanilla slice with custard in the middle, bavarian slice with cream whipped into the custard and jam on the bottom layer and all covered with thick, water icing, made with icing sugar and a little water.
Like the Dutch Tom Pouce?
That seems to be very similar, if not the same.
I cannot believe it. When you brought out the ball "unwinder" I remembered that I too have one. It's been sitting on my bookshelf in front of my knitting chair for years and I totally forgot that I have it. I'm using it now - as I'm coming to the finish of an entire sweater! I wonder what else you will find in your "stuff" that I also have? Please, only find useful stuff. I have plenty of the other.
Hahaha, again shopping for great things! I love the magnifier! It gives you a wonderful smile!!!!!❤❤❤
Thank you very much Cecilia!
SO relaxed today as I watched the rest of your podcast. Actually finished the ribbing on my tweed vest 😌. I think Arne needs to do “text to speech” again. Hilarious 🤣. And I LOVE the colors on Arne’s UFO sweater. Any chance it will appear in the store? Thanks boys for spending virtual time with us. Takes skill, Carlos, to knit,and talk!

I love your magnifying glass, I inherited my husband’s grandmother and love it.
😂
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!
Funny! Make a outdoor alley...Have a garden party and include bowling as a game. Thanks
Good idea!
LOVED Arne’s intro! Cracked me right up!!! 🤣🤣🤣
😍
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.
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!
As always, I enjoyed this sit and knit. So sorry to hear about your art that came crashing down off of the wall. Hopefully you can get it re-framed. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching Michele!
Really enjoyed this video and you two make me laugh. I also loved the sweater that Carlos was wearing.
Thank you!
We have the Napoleon cake in New Zealand, the same as you have described with pale pink icing on the top. Yum, I need some
Go and get some!
Love the colours of the new yarn.... feel I need to knit some new socks : )
Thank you!
Carlos' face when Arne mentioned the box 🤣🤣🤣 - love you guys ♥️
Thank you!
We have Nine Pin Bowling in the UK. It's often played in pubs. Thanks for the entertainment A & C. Although it's only 15 minutes, I usually have to watch it in instalments! My husband has started watching/listening as well. He doesn't knit/sew/crochet, but he does have a 'black belt in shopping' in what we call Charity Shops.
Say hi to your husband and thank you for watching!💖
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🤔
Yes, a knitting cruise!!
Yay!
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!
Those are my colors too, Carlos! Love your choices, Arne.
Thank you!
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!
Sweet blanket and I can’t wait to pick up some of your new yarn!!
Happy knitting!
I’m watching today, while i’m casting on a new SAVE THE CHILDREN. Thanks for your lovely company! Hugo from Lisboa, Portugal
Happy knitting!
Your King and Queen are so very well loved.
They truly are!
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 😀.
Oh goodness. So much that made me LOL in this episode. Mashed potatoes was the best.
A charming visit with you two, as usual. Wish you would do a real tour of your very interesting house - after the renovation? Loved hearing about the nine pins version of bowling.
Thank you Priscilla!
