I thought this episode not only worked but worked wonderfully! I laughed out loud so many times, including at the end. It is so lovely to have a weekly ticket to Norway and have such a good time visiting!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@lauralea86]

You guys are great. I love your humor and the relaxed unscripted format. Please don’t stop Sit & Knit because I have gotten to know you in a way that I otherwise would not have. Thanks to Anna and Eric for their work and your guest stars ...Helmer and Freya and of course Moose-Moose!

[@tracyaa1081]

I believe that the glass panes in the ticket window have a beveled edge.

[@eastlynburkholder3559]

Agree beveled

[@kathyclower8648]

Lovely visit with you guys. I love silly. Keep up your great sense of humor!

[@ckmcdade]

Yes, a beveled edge.

[@arlenetepper1902]

The history of the train station sounds like a book waiting to be written.

[@ARNECARLOS]

🤗

[@clairehampton986]

My thoughts, exactly.

[@TheDarthmom1]

I agree

[@lauramissy7492]

Can you teach us a word/phrase in Norwegian from time to time? I love the sound of the language when I hear you speak it to each other.

[@Foxy807]

Yes I’d love this !

[@MillieOsborne]

@@Foxy807 yes!

[@karinanderson7319]

It is so good to see you well Carlos!! You need a Zamboni to clear some ice skating area on the lake for you to skate and get your physio outside in nature.😂 Arne, I just recently bought a needle felting kit to make little mice.... Will you show us yours when it arrives? Thank you for the silliness with the ticket window.... Laughter is good 🤗

[@thelasthomelyhouse]

that was a huge amount of fun guys! thank you! xxxx

[@marinawilkinson5840]

Wonderful, wonderful podcast. Don’t change. Just be yourselves and you will always make us happy and laugh a little too. You do not realise just how entertaining you two are. I Just love ALL the chat. A little bit of “silly” is so endearing. Thank you millions. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sarojm893]

So loved this episode Arne and Carlos. So much history behind the railway station. Rest up Carlos and thank you to you both for making the time to do these wonderful episodes. Take care.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@kitchenworker446]

Carlos, I hope you won't mind me saying that I got the feeling that you were starting to feel a little tired and maybe unwell towards the end of this video. I hope that you feel better soon. Don't try to do too much too soon. You need to take care of yourself.

[@sarojabhat1261]

Just like sitting with friends and chatting! As usual, sweet and funny and informative. Arne reading his childhood books was so exciting for me, because I am also re re reading my most favorite childhood books by Enid Blyton. ( I'm in my mid sixties). Still totally in love with all of them. It's a time machine, reading childhood books. Totally transports me to simple carefree days and the thrill of adding another book to my collection when I was young. In these crazy times, I certainly am enjoying going back to reading old books, once in a while.

[@ARNECARLOS]

That is a good way to tackle these strange times!

[@karinberryman2009]

Haha isn’t it fun to dive into our old favourite books!

[@chrisberry7712]

I too love Enid Blyton, especially The Famous Five. A group of us played the roles of the characters, so it brings back very happy memories of old friends too. As you say, a simpler, more carefree life!

[@sillybeeful]

Love the way you describe reading children’s books being like a time machine.... I’ve returned to The Narnia Chronicles throughout my adulthood, particularly during difficult times 💐

[@carolynhoover9444]

Moose, snowshoes, home that used to be the train depot. All so fun to hear you both laugh and making your audience think we are there with you! Lovely video!

[@melldot]

Love the quote; 'like the plague or cholera'. It is just wonderful being able to take a bit of time to relax knit and listen to your stories. Thank you so very much.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@zoematoff6]

Your home has good vibes because both of you have beautiful souls and beautiful energy.

[@jeanhoward2154]

The glass in your window is called beveled glass hope I spelled that right

[@tl4214]

You did spell it correctly! 😀

[@davidhensley76]

And it makes a spectrum when the sun shines through it.

[@kathydent2116]

You spelt it the American way. The English way has double L.

[@jeanhoward2154]

Thank all of you

[@davidhensley76]

@@kathydent2116 And you spelled "spelled" the British way. 😀

[@donnastubbs9525]

I'm so relieved to know that the reason I can't find things is because the house is eating them! So enjoyable.

[@TexasChance58]

I laughed soooooooo looud and soooooooo long! This was THE PERFECT remedy for this cold and dark Minnesota day! Thank you, Arne and Carlos for your smiles, your humor, your curiosity, your sense of adventure, and your playfulness! Thank you! The history of how Norway got tartans was something I had never heard before! And the word "Nes"(my husband's ancestors are from Nes). I knew the place in Norway but never linked with "Ness" in Scotland. Wow. What a gift "Sit and Knit For a Bit" has become. ♥ Best wishes!

[@clairefinlay6848]

Carlos you might not be ‘Mr Muscle’ but can be the ‘Lean mean knitting machine’ 😂😎💕

[@kayhobby8819]

“ the house ate” your needle felting supplies 😊 Arne, I think my house eats random items that are missing, too😅 You both just bring so much fun and entertainment and hope that we will get back to normal eventually! Meanwhile, thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Sending love to you both!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Houses are always hungry!

Hmm, haunted old rail station? Intrigue awaits, Nancy Drew - in a new frock - behind the hidden stair case - investigates!

[@verdigrisdreams1873]

@@ARNECARLOS Sofas too!

[@sombrathepest]

After you finish nancy drew - read the american childrens book “The Borrowers” a family of tiny psople who live in the walls. The ‘borrow’ things from the house for use in their home. Really cute!

[@kathyclark3376]

Today has been a wonderful podcast. I don't want it to end. Thanks for sharing this time with us.

Don’t lose your silliness. Keeps us young. Thank you

[@barbd9887]

I absolutely LOVE your “train station home”!!! It is amazing, just like the two of you together!❤️💙💜💚

[@debbieconstable]

Looks like a “bass clef” on the mitts. They’re wonderful!

[@amyinboulder]

This is what I thought, too, Debbie. Arne & Carlos, maybe you want to look at the treble clef for future patterns for Trondheim Solistene?

[@reneegencur2469]

Thank you for visiting with us! It’s a lot of work for you but it’s great fun for us.

[@irenejackson4193]

You two aren’t silly just great fun! Thanks guys 👍😊

Hello Arne and Carlos.. Such a joy to visit with you as I sit and work on my hooked rug.. So grateful to you both for sharing your stories..be well and be safe..

[@ARNECARLOS]

You as well!

[@mariameehan3295]

This is a lovely soothing background actually. One obvious fact is you have beautiful candleholders everywhere. That is really suitable too to your home you have carefully developed it into a very special Preservational Residence ♥️

[@catnapper3923]

Oh my goodness! Nancy Drew is my FAVORITE sleuth! She can do everything: tap dance, Morse code, expert carpenter, etc etc. The old original books are wonderful: she pulls on her gloves before she gets in her roadster. She gives advice like “stay away from the fireplace when the rescue helicopter shows up because the sparks will ruin your sleek coif.” And hey - the room you are in, with its wonderful paneling, looks straight out of a Carl Larsson painting. I have a little mountain camp like it and try to model the rooms after Larsson’s ideas. There is a “funny” meme circulating here about the financial anxiety we feel when we hear our furnaces kicking in. The cold will bankrupt us all. I’m knitting your patterns like mad and am staying warm. Thanks for this chat! Xx

[@peaceloventaurus518]

I love that the kids played as if selling tickets. So much fun!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

😃

[@barbarakb8847]

It ALWAYS works! Thank you, as always, for a lovely hour in wintry Norway. As a former history museum employee, I especially enjoyed hearing some of the history of your railway station home. Have a great week, and hello to all the moose visitors. I want a ticket to Arne’s & Carlos’s house!

[@ARNECARLOS]

[@journeyspastlightahead1606]

I've been wanting to read some Nancy Drew again, too. But I want to read the old ones, where Nancy is driving around in her flivver. :-)

Living in a railwaystation remembers me that we once visited a man who lived in a railwaystation in Setesdal. He collected buttons in all sizes, forms and coulors. We came from the Netherlands and he was able to talk to us in dutch!

Also, the design on the mittens looks like a bass clef (or F clef)! I play bassoon so it is a familiar shape to me.

[@julesmeans8174]

Oh I love talking about books! I loved Nancy Drew too. (I was born in 1953.) I like Haruki Murakami, too. So glad you are back on track. Carlos, you look great and we missed you! Arne, I can watch you slow knitting any day. 😍📚🎨🙋🏼

I grew up on the edge Sinclair Bay in Caithness, Scotland, with Sinclair Castle across the bay from us! This is the home of the Sinclairs whose tartan you are using, a fascinating (if gory) story.

11:50 “Helmer hates his coat” - Some of my pets will not touch manmade fibers. Has Helmer tried a natural fiber (wool, silk, cashmere, alpaca) sweater or coat?

I was wondering if the down bothered his nose, and he needs a knitted sweater....

Beveled is the word you're looking for - for the glass windows. It's lovely too! I enjoy your broadcasts so much! Love you guys!

I believe the glass in the ticket window is considered beveled around the edges. Love the episode . Nice to see Carlos looking rested and more energetic.

Grandma 1900, mom 1920. I was able to visit in 1999. The trip of a lifetime! You both are wonderful and I wish I could knit like you do. The mittens you have been showing are amazing! Look forward to next video from you. Stay well, warm, and safe💕
