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.
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
"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.
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.
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!🥰
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 🥰🥰
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.
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 ✨
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!
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.
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🥰
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. 🤪
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.
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
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! ❤️
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.
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.
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 ❤️ 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!
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.
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 🧶🧵🌸
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
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! 😄
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.
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.
@@ARNECARLOS I have issues with yarn especially colour work winding too tightly. I imagine this tool helps with that. Your “Sit and Knit for a Bit” brings so much joy and enrichment to my life.
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 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!
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.
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 🙋
hi guys i enjoyed your podcast todaythe bowling pins are beautiful the little plant is doing well the yarn holder is great to have i am going to order one if they sell them in canada i will find out when you tell us when you find out i loved the yarn i would like to make a bag out of the yarn it would be so pretty i am going to check it out to well i have to go now i will see you sunday thanks for all the imformation you provide us with thanks for the laughs
I can appreciate how you feel about living higher up than most people - we live up in moorland in North Wales (1200 ft up) which is beautiful BUT very short spring and summer! We’re months behind the low ground. Our daffodils are still in bloom - it’s mid May, everyone else has theirs in March/April!
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🌸
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 🐨🦘😷
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.
Looks like you will need a cannonball to knock those pins down - hahaha! I know about swifts, yarn bowls and the ball winders but I never heard of an unwinder. I am so glad to know about it. I don't like to pull the end from the middle either. I immediately went online and looked it up. There are even double ones. Now to pick one out ......there are so many choices. Not only are you so entertaining but also enlightening! What will I learn next? Oh yes ........I have made several of the oversized granny square afghans. They are quick and fun to knit. I have given them away as gifts to friends. See you Sunday :)
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.
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 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.
I was intrigued by your lovely bowling pins and the conversation you had about them. I’m from New England in the USA and grew up playing candle pin with the small balls. I looked online and came across a fun article “Did You Know There Are 5 Types of Bowling? May 12, 2017” Here’s a crazy piece of bowling history - “Nine-pin was actually one of the most popular types of bowling in the US until the early 20th century, when authorities linked it to organized crime and thus made it illegal. Kegel remains popular in Europe and enjoys a cult-like following in central Texas, thanks to the large German population that settled there.” Good luck with your construction project and digging out your crawl space!
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
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 😀.
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!

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.
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.
Another great watch 😆🌍🇦🇺👍
Thank you Lynda!
You guys make life better.....so thankful for your podcasts, every single one. ❤️

Love the colours in ARNE’s blanket!
Thank you!
You two are just hysterical. You remind me of my favorite queens in Indianapolis!
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😉

Enjoy listening to you both. God bless💕

Once again ...You guys are amazing. Loooove your podcast.
Many Blessings...😍😍😍😍😍🤩
Thank you Terry!
Wonderful as always!! We use linseed oil for our garden utensils...if they have wood handles!!
Good use!
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!
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!!
I adore you guys!
Thanks for a great episode!

It is great!

I love your bowling pins. They'd look great with a piece of thick glass across the top to make a coffee table.

You are very 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!
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!
I can appreciate how you feel about living higher up than most people - we live up in moorland in North Wales (1200 ft up) which is beautiful BUT very short spring and summer! We’re months behind the low ground. Our daffodils are still in bloom - it’s mid May, everyone else has theirs in March/April!
Everything arrives a bit later here!
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
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!
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!
Arne's sock matches the plant💚😄

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!
Looks like you will need a cannonball to knock those pins down - hahaha! I know about swifts, yarn bowls and the ball winders but I never heard of an unwinder. I am so glad to know about it. I don't like to pull the end from the middle either. I immediately went online and looked it up. There are even double ones. Now to pick one out ......there are so many choices. Not only are you so entertaining but also enlightening! What will I learn next? Oh yes ........I have made several of the oversized granny square afghans. They are quick and fun to knit. I have given them away as gifts to friends. See you Sunday :)
See you Sunday Jane!
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!
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 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.
Happy sock knitting!
Making brioche this Weekend, thanks Carlos
Enjoy!
I was intrigued by your lovely bowling pins and the conversation you had about them. I’m from New England in the USA and grew up playing candle pin with the small balls. I looked online and came across a fun article “Did You Know There Are 5 Types of Bowling? May 12, 2017” Here’s a crazy piece of bowling history - “Nine-pin was actually one of the most popular types of bowling in the US until the early 20th century, when authorities linked it to organized crime and thus made it illegal. Kegel remains popular in Europe and enjoys a cult-like following in central Texas, thanks to the large German population that settled there.” Good luck with your construction project and digging out your crawl space!
Thank you for the info Joanna!
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!
I love your magnifying glass, I inherited my husband’s grandmother and love 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 😀.
Yes, in the U.S. we have Napoleans. The mille feuille pastry sheets are as you described and the top usually has a brown and white feathery design.
Yummy!
