[@M.E.M.O.10-50]

Thanks for being there for us during the pandemic. Hugs to Carlos and good for you in prioritizing your Mom and Dad. I hope you will still show us your gingerbread house this year, Arne, even if we can't see you making it. That episode was my all time favourite KZbin experience.

[@lyndakling901]

Any of the cooking ones are my favs!

[@bostonpicker7947]

I’m so happy that you’re back at work and so grateful that you have time for sit and knit for a bit, even in this original configuration. You’ve created a beautiful comnunity here and we’re all in to support you. You’re both GREAT! Thank You!

[@Ntagati]

I sincerely hope you know what a lifeline you have both been to many of us. Some have lost so much to the pandemic, people, homes, life savings - it's so hard to start over again at our age, but your smiling, welcoming, reliable friendship has seen us through it all. How could we object to your getting your business matters in order after all you've done for us. Thank you so very much, Arne and Carlos. Looking forward to any broadcasts from you two. Wishing all the joy and success in the world. XXXX ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

[@ARNECARLOS]

We want to thank everyone for all the love and support that we see in the comments. It means so much to us and it motivates us to keep going! We hope you will enjoy all our Sunday content and keep your eyes peeled for the Premiere of “Sit and Knit for a Bit on a Sunday” on October 8th!❤❤

[@deniseallen1835]

I think it is right you decide what is manageable for you... don't give yourself unnecessary stress! Your solution is very sensible... and we are all grateful to have you in our KZbin lives x

[@jacquielawrence5670]

That's fully understandable. Once a week is better than none at all . Thank you for the brilliant videos

[@msfreshfood1111]

If you post your shows on Sundays it shouldn’t matter to anyone. The great thing about streaming is that we can watch it whenever we want to. I will probably continue to watch your episodes on Wednesdays just because that fits my schedule. But I’ll continue to watch and enjoy you guys. Keep on keepin’ on. I appreciate what you do.

[@crystalwright1504]

I think I speak for most of us when I say that we're thrilled to have whatever you choose to share with us. Your videos are one of the highlights of my week. Have fun. Be well. See you on Sundays!!

[@kathieklee3903]

You both work so incredibly hard. Thank you for all that you do for all your fans around the world. Thank you for being a part of our lives. Carlos, so sorry about your mother's illness. Prayers for all of you, including Freya. Take care!

[@shirleyhanson6132]

I so appreciate you guys being here for all of us these past 3 years. We will still be with you.

[@lorifontaine]

We have always called this the "Arne & Carlos Family", so as a family, we understand your need to make the channel evolve to suit your lives. Wishing good things for you both and continued success. Your inspiration makes me a better artist in needlework and art. (NO clowns though!!!) Hugs from Canada.

[@estherrubin867]

A million thank yous for the generosity of your time and creativity during the past 3 years. You sprung into action at a time when so many felt alone and scared to provide us with your warm companionship and persevered despite your own covid nightmare. Let us remember the dozens of free colorwork designs you shared with us to keep us busy and connected. I made a 2-sided pillow out of my squares that sits on my favorite comfy chair and it’s something I treasure. In addition to all this are all your free youtube videos for, as Carlos said, 8 years!! Your explanation of the needed changes is appreciated and you deserve to use your time as best serves your needs. As someone who lost both my parents to steady decline and dementia, I understand your need to be with them as much as possible. Carlos, these difficult visits also will provide some of the sweetest, intimate moments with you and your parents that you’ll cherish forever and will bring them joy and support even if it’s forgotten in 1 minute. You’ll never regret it. Much appreciation to both of you…..you are the best! ❤

[@MuzakFavo]

No problem, good scheme! I was afraid you would scrap it all together, so no worries! ❤

[@michelewestcott8050]

You gave us such a great gift during the pandemic; a way for knitters all over the world to work through our Covid anxiety. Anyone having Sit & Knit withdrawal can surely go back and re-view some of your greatest hits. Both my husband and I thoroghly enjoyed our cruise with you last February and we hope to travel with you again some day. You forgot to mention your shop pattern sales; I have purchased enough of these to keep me busy for my lifespan. I hope this format gives you more time to Sit by yourself in your garden.

[@sjgriebling]

Thank you for how generous you have been. We'll enjoy seeing the updates on Sunday.

[@lisajahn6839]

I hope this helps you relax more and feel less pressured.❤

[@patp2573]

You have given us so much of your time over the last several years. Thank you. I look forward to seeing you whenever you post.

[@Tinacrafts2]

Quite understandable, fellas. 🥰 I’m glad you’re taking care of your needs. And gives me another reason to look forward to Sundays! The magic of KZbin provides playlists and reruns. Be well and prosper!

[@coffeeshuffle]

I so appreciate that you communicate on such a personal and straight forward level with us. It’s what makes your pod casts so special. I loved meeting you on Svalbard 23 and look forward to Sundays. All the best, Martha

[@clarefriend1376]

I think this sounds like a very good plan. Thanks for being there during the pandemic. So many of the channels that I still follow helped me get through the pandemic.

[@cyndieMichels]

Yes things have changed. I'll miss your weekly chats-so fun. But life, right? Carlos you made me tear up talking about your parents. What a gift to have a son like yourself. Go be with them as mjuch as you can, you'll never regret it.

[@anitasmith9914]

Oh bless you both. No explanation needed. Life is all about balance. Thanks to all the team, and to keep some sanity during lockdowns ❤

[@kathysmith5411]

Sounds very sensible and will look forward to our sunday sit and knit for a bit. You dont need to explain your revenue to us when you are putting in lots of work. Thank you chaps ❤ UK

[@kathiekelleher5401]

Perfect solution! Thanks for getting us through the pandemic with Sit and Knit a Bit. It was/is a gift ❤

[@sinaf.2866]

I'm a New Yorker and I truly enjoy any video/shorts that you put out. You both are delightful individuals. Please continue in any manner you wish, just never stop! Hugs❤❤❤

[@louiserathswohl8875]

I feel fortunate to have had this time with you guys for so long. Take care of yourselves and don’t feel apologetic. Knit on!

[@Yarncakegirl_Valerie]

You both are so very special and we are blessed with whatever will work with your schedule and life. You must also take time for yourselves, most important. Sending love and hugs from Colorado, Valerie

[@lisajahn6839]

Thank you all for making and sharing these videos!😊

[@kymberly2111]

Love you guys... life goes on, thanks for all your happy videos, Arne.. you rock... Carlos ... you rock too🎉🎉🎉

[@bernicemcgowan6657]

Thank you for letting us know what is happening and I’m so glad you want to continue chatting with us about your lives as well as giving us tutorials. ❤️

[@jvallas]

I preferred KZbin when people could control their own schedules and videos - and not be dictated to (in reference to all videos, not just you guys). Everything is about clicks now, nothing organic. I'm perfectly happy with what you need to do to manage your time best.

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

This is a fair decision. Quality over quantity is always a good step to take. Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@crazybird6821]

Thank you for all the time, information, and laughter that you give to this community. Do what's best for yourselves and the channel. Thank you.

[@claudiarepp4471]

Glad to be a member of your viral family. I am looking forward to all the new things. Stay well and greetings from Germany

[@diane9060]

It was great getting to know you during the pandemic, you helped me thru that time, and I'm sure you helped a lot of others as well. Thank you for your support! Do what's right for you now; spend time with family while you still can, that's what is most important! Sunday's will be something for us to look forward to. Shorts are to be a bonus surprise gift🎉 whenever they happen.

[@ninarowe4641]

Thank you for sharing so much with us over the past 8 years.I look forward to the Sunday episodes and if you do the cooking videos can it please be the Chrustmas time cooking..we lov e them..❤❤

[@sewingseamswithdeb]

Thanks for explaining it all to us. I just love watching your channel whether it is SAKFAB or shorts, or cruising or whatever. Its geat for you both, to be back into a more structured timing of your episodes so you can get order into your worklife and you know what you are doing. Routine is a great thing. . I'm a big fan, will always be! Love your work,...❤❤

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@kimwilhelm9226]

Any time you choose to spend with us is a gift! Thank you!!!

[@AthleeBowman]

Thank you, Arne and Carlos, for being yourselves in your videos! Sit and knit for a bit helped me a lot during the pandemic, and now also, I appreciate your friendly chats. I understand your need to change your schedule to fit your work. We are all grappling with changes post pandemic. I first found your channel several years ago when I needed knitting help and you were amazingly helpful. I love your tutorials. I've binge watched your tutorials! I learned to knit from Japanese patterns while living in Japan, and I also use Dale Garn patterns. Now in the USA, I continue using those patterns and yours, and now and then try to influence my friends away from the row by row methods. Thanks for all your work on these extra videos! I hope your schedule re-shaping goes well and you're able to work with reasonable hours.

[@patriciashetler4736]

You saved me during the pandemic. I will be forever grateful! I wish you two continued success in your work.

[@anitajoslyn9082]

1:53 This is a wonderful upgrade to Sit and Knit for a Bit! Tutorials from different designers and professionals are always useful. Yours, in particular, using different techniques than I am accustomed to, is both interesting and educational. I’m looking forward to it! Thank you for all you do!

[@KaKaTinka1264Tinka]

Many thanks for all your work. The tutorials are so good and inspiring love them.

[@Kellyschacht]

I appreciate the time that both of you give to us. I enjoy watching your videos but also understand that you have responsibilities and cannot dedicate as much time to make these videos.

[@michelemurnane2834]

I will continue to ride along with you guys, no matter what changes are made. Happy travels.

[@marybeth4002]

Bless you boys, as Kate (The Last Homely House) recently referred to you as in a dear and sweet manner. Although I'm not a knitter, I do appreciate your content, kindness and humor. I loved your reference and had to chuckle regarding the weekends and Lady Crawley. I wish you continued success in your journey and sharing of your utmost beautiful pieces of work. Thank you.

[@Psychicology]

I would be happy if you came on your channel and smiled for ten minutes once a month. I love your beautiful energy together and your amazing spirits . Thank you for any sharing you do ! Love you both !

[@gailgaddy5340]

Hey guys I’m cool with what ever you share. Life changes you go with it. I enjoy you guys so much. Blessings your way. 😊

[@barbarakarl3959]

Normal life is here again - of course! You are not retired like I am (a wonderful situation...hihi) and so your fultime job(s) are here again! Important and fine! I like the time which you spent for us - thats great and a big gift!! I like your videos which often let me laugh out loudly - and I like your tutorials too! So: come on! And all the best for you both!

[@susanmatthews2636]

So happy you are still going to be with us! Our trip to Norway was cancelled due to pandemic 2020/21, Looks now like not going to happen, so keeping in touch with you is really wonderful! Have loved your pajama gardening shorts, but mostly enjoy your cooking/handiwork videos! "See you!"

[@ARNECARLOS]

❤️❤️

[@kathybretl5280]

Thank you, Arne and Carlos!! Any time spent with you is a gift!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@inezwalsh2584]

Thank you so much for sharing a part of your life with me ….I am so happy your back to work again and things are getting somewhat back to normal….Great we will see you guys sometimes…Good luck and happy working…Inez xx

[@nancyjoyce5493]

Whatever you can give us, we'll take. I totally get the need to travel more for work, and I certainly get being with your parents, Carlos. My mom turned 99 this year, and she lives in another state, so it can be difficult. I need to be with her, too. Love you both for getting this knitter through the pandemic! 🥰

[@deborahlee4941]

I'm just thrilled that sit and knit for a bit will continue!

[@risenshine2783]

Sounds like a good plan! Thanks for all you do and share with us!

[@stitchersdelight]

I'm happy to spend any time with you both, I always assumed you had a busy life and appreciated the time you took for your channel. I'm looking forward to the content and pray you get as much time with your family as you can, I'd love to have my Mom and Dad back even for 5 minutes. Take care, have a great week !

[@CraftyDille]

19:35 You Guys - what a brilliant solution you've come up with! You have to do what is best for you! Personally I'm happy with it as it was hard to keep up and keep track. I watched A&C that I was sure of... what the title of the show was?!?Usually didn't have a clue - and really didn't care as you ALWAYS present us mere mortals with interesting and inspirational goodies! Keep doping what you like and love to do and take care of yourselves❤ Greetings, Dille

[@corriendunar3436]

Follow your heart guys. Family time is so important, making memories. Don't apologise for what your heart tells you to do. You are still here to enjoy and inspire us. Wishing you both and your families love, health and good luck ❤ Have a lovely day and see you next time 🍀

[@deloresjackson437]

I will always be grateful for any content that you post on KZbin and will be looking forward to seeing you in October. Cheers!

[@lucyburt607]

Thank you! Your Christmas balls got me back to knitting just before Covid and then the podcasts were just wonderful all through the isolation and not being able to see our family. Now once a week is still very generous. Many podcasts only update once a month. Love everything you put up and my non-knitter husband enjoys it too. Hope you come to Australia. Australian knitting style will interest you !

[@AnnGarcia-yc9kv]

Thank you so much for helping us get through the pandemic! I was pretty isolated and you won't know how much you helped me. I really really appreciate both of you! Annie

[@litabilotti7169]

If you guys are happy, then I am happy. Keep up the great work that we have enjoyed from you in the past.

[@katiiiiekat]

We love you no matter how often, how much, or how long. ❤ we are just happy to have you both in any capacity. ❤❤❤

[@lizv.418]

Arne & Carlos, it's completely understandable that you have to go back to the original schedule. It will be better for your piece of mind. You guys always bring quality to everything you do & I love all your content & looking forward to many more years of fun & beautiful knitting ❤

[@kimtofstad1647]

Thank you for all of your hard work. I appreciate your channel and am a paid member. ❤

[@alanatennessee877]

Love any programming you can do. Love your patterns and your bantering, so cool.

[@brigittethebusystitcher]

Understandable! Thank you for all you do! 💐

[@ellenpaasch4743]

Great call! Delighted hearing about your plans for the future. I’m in California and find your videos inspiring.

[@KateColors]

I think it's great you're getting back into designing. The world needs your designs. Thank you for also thinking of us, too. Your shows are always great to watch. We just want you to be happy. Thank you. ❤

[@queeniegoth]

Super grateful for your wonderful posts through the pandemic and totally understand keeping it to Sundays. I look forward to seeing you both

[@vicdeanlim]

Totally understandable. We all are getting back to normal and that is good. I'll still watch you both however often you post. ❤

[@jocreativeplans8454]

Thank you so much for sharing your work and life with us through sit and knit and tutorials on Sundays. I’m so grateful that you are able to continue with a regular presence!

[@kerryvincent3643]

Thankful for whatever works with you. You have been a wonderful addition to my life during this strange time and glad you both can be back to travel, classes and all that life entails. You two are a total breath of fresh air. Love seeing your life in Norway and all that you accomplish

[@beverlyness7954]

You guys are the best. Yes we are all family and family takes care of family. We are happy to allow you to do what you need to do for your life and your work. Carlos you need your Mom and Dad and they need you, so I'm happy you will be prioritizing them. I enjoy watching everything you do, seeing all the projects you create, hearing about all the unique Norwegian cultural crafts and seeing those beautiful vintage items. I've also loved your home projects and tours. You've brought joy and education weekly so thank you for that. You've taught me about my Norwegian culture and heritage that I wouldn't know about in any other way (because I live in America). I'm looking forward to seeing you every Sunday from now on. Cheers!

[@katehill9447]

I look forward to your videos whenever they arrive. I completely understand the need to change things around at fully support you in whatever you need to do xx

[@PinkSallyProductions]

Takk Arne and Carlos, you don’t really owe us an explanation but, because you are both so kind, you have filled in the gaps as it were. I will miss seeing you so often as I can’t be a member yet, so I wish you well with your new rota! Be well, Sally 🌹

[@viridiangreen8259]

You have survived Covid and helped many of us get through the pandemic by restructuring your channel - thank you - I will share your channel with others

[@user-pv2yx6tp1w]

I love you both so much. Please do what you must do. We will be here. Always excited when I get a notification of video❤❤

[@susanwaters4108]

I love your chats and also your baking episodes

[@Islandflower66]

I'm just glad you are not leaving us with sit and knit for a bit. I will always watch you guys. posting a lot or a little. Love you guys. You make my days brighter.

[@pyewaket1]

Thank you for all you do. I was worried you would be stopping completely. So happy you're still going to be doing this. 😊

[@Troutay]

What ever you decide to do I am sure we will enjoy it. Love you two!

[@laurelrobbins8673]

Hi guys! I’m sure that all of your fans understand your schedule change, as I do. I look forward to seeing you every Sunday! On a sidenote, I watched your Sunday programs last Monday morning, and afterwords I took a nap. In my dream you both came and visited me in my kitchen and we were cooking. That was a very strange dream, and when I woke up, I was a little surprised that you came all the way from Norway to come and cook with me in my kitchen in Reno, Nevada, United States.😂😂

[@maizoon4327]

Understandable, you have a lot on with your lives. It's wonderful you will be able to carry it on in a way it suits you & I'm looking forward to the tutorials as you are brilliant teachers and I have learned a lot since I found your channel - I now knit the norwegian way 😊😊❤❤

[@pat_in_va8605]

Seems more than fair. You both need to have your time, and you are very busy with all of your work. I look forward to your videos no matter when you post them! Thank you both!

[@pbutler8504]

Totally agree with your decision. Giving good content is appreciated. Love my time spent with you. If you ever feel to demonstrate the old shell lace knitting pattern would be wonderful x

[@sandrazboinski6473]

Looking forward to seeing you all on Sundays. Flexibility is important and you both show that so well. Take care

[@rachelgollub2924]

Yay! I'm glad you're continuing Sit and Knit for A Bit, because I love it. Every other week is good -- I'll take whatever you have time for.

[@Janet.D.C.]

I totally understand. Having said that, I do love seeing your thrifting, gardening, home tours, and cooking videos. ❤ I will keep watching and wish you all the best!

[@carolellenwood2922]

“I work hard for my money, I work hard for my 💸 🎶🕺🏼…. Yes you do! And thank you for your humor, cheerfulness and dedication to this channel!

[@chrisdonohoo]

The pandemic made so many changes. . . I was along for the SAKFAB ride, knitting all the blanket squares & making friends in the FB group. Then I took one of the Northern Lights knitting cruises, it just seemed like a natural progression! Change keeps on, but we stay with the Arne & Carlos family! See you on another trip!🦄⛵🌈

[@meatdog]

That's a GREAT idea and a perfect change guys. I'm sure all will enjoy these Sunday's. I look forward to this great format. Love you guys. ❤

[@ThePemaquidpoint]

Sending love and light to both of you! I will be delighted with whatever time you have to share

[@maggiedog6286]

Thanks for all your hard work ❤

[@arctiknitter]

You guys are great! I hope this change is good for you. Big hugs as you deal with aging parents and other life challenges.

[@virginiaspencer340]

Thank you so much for being there. I found your KZbin channel during the Pandemic, when you were coming back from a visit in London, so enjoyable and then Carlos got really sick with Covid. I am not a knitter (I crochet) but that does not keep me from watching you and enjoying every episode, especially the cooking ones on Sunday, not to mention the lovely flower garden and view of the lake and the winter sleigh rides, I love it all. I hope you find precious moments with your parents. Look forward to watching more of Arne’s tutorials and thank you for introducing Kate, I loved your visit with her when you walked the Wall. God Bless you both

[@marciaz5346]

My dear Scandinavian Princes - no explanation should be necessary - any time spent with you is lovely. Do your lives without apologies. ❤️

[@fanincalifornia1192]

You are so kind to explain your decision!!! So wonderful that this will allow you to spend more time with your parents. I will watch whatever you post - and am especially enjoying your pajama gardener shorts. The moose in today’s posting was amazing!!! Thanks so much!!!!

[@mirabell9362]

Thank you both for everything, I totally understand. Best wishes to your parents Carlos.

[@barbarawood3209]

I think your schedule is great. Don’t feel guilty! I am thankful you are continuing at all!! Love you two and enjoy when you do your videos.❤️

[@blasebaker]

I am grateful for all the great shows you make for us. ❤
