[@RosannaRiondato]

I'm really enjoying catching up on the episodes. I always have a smile on my face. I, too, love that the talks go over 30 minutes. 🥰

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@Scor-ah]

It is cold and snowing in North Idaho...good time to start knitting...I love listening to you two banter back and forth with love in your hearts

[@momgrandma5496]

You both are a very bright spot in an otherwise stressful week, allowing me to forget for a bit, to smile and laugh. See you both on Wednesday.

[@Rop6ckc]

Sitting and knitting socks for my youngest granddaughter. Thanks again for a great time.

Arne - your garter is beautiful. I love the colours

[@annies2416]

Today I enjoyed your podcast as I sat outside in my garden. You are great company no matter what we are doing.💕 Carlos, I’m sorry you are struggling with post-Covid memory loss. Your memory is still better than most of ours but I hope it returns to 100% soon!🍁🍃🍂

[@tonyawhite7932]

It's really quite nice to sit and sip and crochet and laugh with you both for a bit each week. Thank you for the blocks and the patterns and the stories and especially the community. That title is so fitting the moment!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

Thank you Arne and Carlos for another engaging podcast. So needed to help us all keep positive. I am crocheting a blanket while watching and listening . I have bubble wrap at my front door behind the door curtain...it works well, even though bits of it have been popped by my grandchildren! Best Wishes to you both and thankyou!

I just enjoy listening and enjoying you both!

[@carolynhoover9444]

Update:watched last night! What a fun sit and knit a bit! I don't really knit but you are inspiring me to pick up the needles after 30 years! Love that you have to keep your mother out of the greenhouse! Very funny.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Hi Carolyn, we are so happy to read that you are considering knitting again!

[@annieboulton5759]

Hi Arne and Carlos. I loved your Sit and Knit for a Bit episode this week. Stay warm xxx

[@sarahlauwerijssen9531]

Thankyou both of you. Keep safe.🙋🏼‍♀️😘💐

[@sjgriebling]

You WILL have to teach us how to do the finger weaving! You two are so much fun.

[@lynetteruest480]

I love Sit and Knit for a Bit! I love too visiting with you both twice a week and to see Freja and Helmer.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We love having you over!

[@aaronjtracy]

I just wanted to tell you thank you! Your videos have been keeping me company as I knit my first sweater, it’s fair isle and it’s in Rowans super fine Merino 4 ply, and it’s slow going so all of your quarantine videos have kept me company

[@debmeyer3111]

I really love hearing you chat more, Arne.

[@karenveilleux7176]

Thanks for another enjoyable video!

[@judiththomas5751]

Today was delightful for me. I laughed a lot at your interaction...You add joy to my day...thank you.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@lindaromar2824]

Fun and education all in one! Thank you so much for doing this.

[@TheDarthmom1]

Your podcasts are never too long. The doll looks cute. Arne enjoy hearing family stories. I heard Brooklyn. I'm originally from Staten island, across from Brooklyn. Can't wait to see the finished Folk Costumes on you guys. I like to pop the bubble wrap. It's a stress reliever. Thank you. Carlos hope you start feeling better. Arne foot cramps could be dehydrated or low magnesium. I used to get them. Stay safe stay well stay blessed

[@audreyabbott7806]

Arne has my ♥️! Buying beautiful things, I say, not hoarding! And suitcases help store more things. Carlos & Arne, you make me smile!

[@ARNECARLOS]

😂

[@lmurton4233]

thanks so much for another fun visit! looking forward to making the kittie block & a dicky now too! 💞

[@annesmith3352]

Love it! Such good company while having dinner! You are both very interesting and fun! Love the knitted doll! Xx ❤️

[@lindav1403]

I have been alone during lockdown, and I can't tell you how much I am enjoying these podcasts. I really miss just casual chatting with friends, and this fills some of that void - and I get to learn more about Norway and there is knitting! My friends are wonderful, but not all of them knit. ;)

[@ARNECARLOS]

Glad you like them.

[@pennywilliamson4439]

I really enjoy sitting and knitting with you and love seeing the pooches. Please don’t let them eat the gladioli corms, they will make them very sick. 🐾🐾

[@lisagimblett8646]

I am on the edge of my seat .... a resolution for porridge gate! I love the square... meow

[@ARNECARLOS]

Ha ha!

[@lindawellinghoff5432]

Love the time spent with you guys. Beautiful garters. Beautiful dickie. Love the cat square. Thanks so much.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@jdlotus8253]

I LOVE the sweater Arne is wearing.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@cynthiawillard8502]

Hahaha Black Belt in Shopping! I'm going to steal that! Oh I feel your pain!

[@lyndasnart7823]

Absolutely love these. Chats .....🌍🇦🇺😷👍

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Lynda.

[@svetlanasinchuk9712]

Thanks, Funny and very interesting podcast. Amazing ❤️

[@mabelalexa]

Thanks for the company 😀 you are adorable 🤗

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for joining

[@gailgaddy5340]

Arne, drink pickle juice for your cramp. Also drink your tea, it was a great pod cast 👍👍🥰 soo interesting.

[@joankeckstein4246]

Your garters are very good and remind me of friendship bracelets. Good friends helping each otger!

[@misspeacchy]

I am fascinated by your folk costume projects. Here in the U.S. we don't have them, though some people have costume from their family heritage. Carlos, I was excited to see the stitch of your sweater. My second knitting project was a blanket and that was one of the stitches. It quickly became one of my favorite knitting stitches.

[@bettykempster3376]

Thank you so much for the dickey patterns. I'm in Kentucky so probably need to use cotton yarn--it doesn't get so cold. Today it's 80 degrees! Love you guys.

[@lucielevac2503]

Thank you for a fun hour. Yes, in Québec, we have les ceintures flêchées which are part a a traditional costume worn mainly during the Quebec Carnaval in February.

[@elizabethclark7062]

I so enjoy your videos in which you visit and joke around . Love hearing about your families. Your cooking shows are great esp enjoyed the porridge episodes. Too funny. I so look forward to watching your videos

[@nancypothier8739]

Hi, you make very beatiful finger weavings! I've almost forgotten we had "ceinture fléchée" in our Quebec folk culture. Our "Bonhomme Carnaval" is always wearing it. Thanks for the cat chart!! I want to make it in crochet. I love the way you share simple thigs of your life, a slice of your life in Norway.

[@denisedarcelle9716]

Hi Arne and Carlos!Had a great time watching Sit and Knit for a Bit. I love the doll! I will check that out. Thank you...

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@olive5890]

Great work on the garters, well done!

[@brendaclark4152]

Love the sessions. Love the dickie’s, I had several and loved wearing them. The ones you knit are very lovely and color combinations are awesome. We had snow in Tennessee the end of November. Be safe, Brenda

[@suzannegill9233]

You Guys really brighten a gloomy day. It's grey and overcast here on Anglesey, Wales UK. We're in lockdown again! Everyone is feeling gloomy. You two are an awesome tonic. I giggled all the way through with you both and thank you from the bottom of my heart. xxxx

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for watching Suzanne!

[@patwagner9308]

You fellas are such a hoot ! Sure do like the cat square....color is pretty & design is, too. I crocheted a few rows on my shawl while I watched. Love your stories.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Pat!

[@susansheffield2931]

Your digressions are the best.

[@joanwootton9388]

We already have snow here in the interior of British Columbia. It was minus 12 C last night. Really enjoying your new podcasts. My son is here with his toy poodle and we are all enjoying listening to her growl. We saw a mother moose and her baby two days ago. Thought of Freya.

[@sandybeach516]

Enjoyed your podcast. Nice to know that there are others who pop bubble wrap. It is so relaxing sitting and listening to your adventures and stories. Like the dickie and the cat square. Looking forward to Sunday. Stay safe.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You too!

[@janemichie3462]

Love the idea of smiley stitches!

[@ARNECARLOS]

The nicest stitches.

[@Tobyknits]

I am loving the Sit and Knit for a bit....in fact, I am watching them in order from #1 (might take me a while to catch up LOL) and really enjoying them while I sit and knit a bit. Its like having you pop in for a visit with me.

[@ARNECARLOS]

No rush, we hope you have fun!

[@karenfarmilo3067]

Awesome Sit and Knit for a Bit today!! The woven garters are fabulous!! Well done Carlos!! Happy stitches!! I never thought about that, but of course you are correct. Bottom up = happy stitches :) That Freya is quite the character..lol Shhh... don't tell the boss but I'm watching again... It's a joke as I own a yarn shop here in Canada... I love my Wednesday afternoons with C&A++... Heading now to purchase Theo. Thanks for a wonderful time, again

[@JanWeaves]

In far north central WI we had 5 inches of snow last night and more tomorrow. I usually knit while watching your Wednesday podcasts. Love the dickeys, a book of designs would be wonderful for those of us who don’t design! I mentioned my daughter had positive Covid test, quarantined in my weaving studio, symptoms began the next day. Thankful she had a relatively light case and after quarantining the number of days plus specified by the county health department, is back at work. Praying your recovery continues to full recovery. Loving these podcasts!

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad you daughter is well and safe.

[@krystleulrich2749]

I just want you both to know that I LOVE that these little sessions often go over 30 minutes. ❤

[@olive5890]

I agree and 30 min. or so is the perfect reminder to stretch out and stand up from my knitting!

[@janelieder3359]

Blackbelt in shopping! LOLOLOL I've never heard that before but love it!

[@ARNECARLOS]

The best belt!

[@ninawilhelm36]

I love the bubble wrap idea in the greenhouse. I may do that to my screened in porch for the winter!

[@ARNECARLOS]

It helps with isolation

[@pwile2002]

I love genealogy too, Arne! It's never boring :)

[@ARNECARLOS]

So many stories!

[@Nicelady29]

I’m very charmed by hearing you talk about your folk costumes! Being that the US is so young we don’t really have a folk costume tradition here, except for perhaps Civil War re-enactments, which I do not find charming. We do have Colonial Williamsburg, where they dress in period costume, but it’s just not a thing the average American does. Happy weaving. I’m excited to see how the hand sewn buttonholes work.

[@katieoprea2046]

Wow! Beautiful garter bands! We’ve had snow in the mountains in Vermont. And it’s hunting season here, too! We put bright orange bandanas on our dogs to make them more visible in the woods.

[@ARNECARLOS]

That is very clever

[@tinlidtoo6615]

Thank you for spending your time with us. Picked up some crochet long abandoned to do while watching. It's supposed to cool down next week for us here in AZ. Can't wait

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@karenmahn3040]

Greetings from Sunny Florida! First time post but long time subscriber. Thank you for the fun episode. I have learned so much from watching your you tube channel. Thank you for the education as well as the nice visits...lots of smiles today. Take care and keep warm.

[@marilyngianadda1167]

Fabulous Carlos! Well done!👍😀🤗from🇿🇦

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you so much!

[@jacquelynfitzgerald3183]

Thank you for these delightful podcasts! My 8 year old daughter watched it with me today and has requested a rainbow dickey. ❤

[@ARNECARLOS]

Great, we hope she likes it!

[@rayel.2178]

Great Sit and Knit A bit! Thanks!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome.

[@blasebaker]

Popping bubble wrap is so fun!

[@ARNECARLOS]

The best

[@suebarner8364]

Button holes are easy by hand. You won’t have any problem. I do think Arne is right - just practice before you begin on your garments. I am really look forward to seeing the end result!

[@ARNECARLOS]

So are we!

[@kerynrivett9351]

Keep making your videos longer, please! I love to “sit and stitch for a bit”! See what I did there ... “stitch” (I’m the mad cross stitcher from Australia). Love you guys ... look after yourselves xxx

[@ARNECARLOS]

We will!

[@marykoritheasmith2411]

Final garter project looks perfect. You can see that you found the tension. 😊 it makes a difference! You found an authentic formula. When the costumes are finished and beautiful, why not have a professional photographer take many snaps 😃

[@ARNECARLOS]

Good idea

[@valeriewoods6754]

Love popping in to chat. I've learned the plait/weave and am making bag handles. I think it will be good because they won't stretch too much. It's so absorbing, I can't stop. Also the cat is really sweet. Thank you so much for all your patterns, ideas and inspiration.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome, thank you for watching!
