I found you through Arne & Carlos too! Started from the beginning and working my way to the present 😊

[@micheleleblanc9336]

I appreciate that you are willing to show & discuss your imperfections & humanity. That is rare on the internet today I think. Very brave of you. Thank you!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@RosannaRiondato]

This is more than a podcast, this is a journey into another land, another culture with fascinating traditions, such as the care and love and precision put into creating your costumes all by hand, for example, or the points of view that range from the history of fashion to making Rob work. Never is there lack of humour, humility, and something precious that I always take with me. Thank you for sharing it all with us.🥰

[@paulemoi]

That’s what I love about your podcasts, unscripted and relaxed. I feel like you are sitting here with me as I work away, sipping on tea. Thank you gentlemen.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@deekay1641]

Please find joy in all the positive comments people leave and talk about those, it is frustrating to hear the people who leave negative comments even mentioned. You two are so enjoyable, I am so enjoying Sit And Knit For A Bit. Thank you for just being you. Love to see the pups too.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for your kind words and also for watching!

[@cw8011]

"I'm going to savor this moment....like forever"...Too, too funny! Your episodes always have me laughing while learning something new! Thank you for these wonderful & laugh-out-loud podcasts!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@mindaheidenreich1607]

I totally agree, Arne - there’s nothing quite as satisfying as sitting down to savor the printed pages of a beautiful book or magazine.

[@ARNECARLOS]

There is a difference!

[@noliecorwin5827]

I get frustrated trying to find patterns online. Generally I forget to save whatever site I'm using-or I think I've saved it but low and behold thru techno-magic it disappears 😆-then its back to square 1. Plus, you just can never have too many books

[@helenmawdsley4988]

Yes! I also like the books for writing notes in the margin when making a pattern, or writing down other thoughts when looking at the photos. It's not quite the same experience on a PDF.

[@gillian4033]

I've had to pause at the beginning to say I think Carlos does the best smug smile (I mean that nicely!)... we could all see where this was going, poor Arne, made me chuckle! ;-) Teamwork is the best..

[@ARNECARLOS]

Teamwork is dreamwork.

[@AB-nv2tm]

And...the exact same red cap became part of the Québécois traditional folk costume at about the same time as in Norway. Fascinating.

[@ARNECARLOS]

It sure is.

[@deborahmilne3397]

I have been watching your podcasts since COVID-19 started. I want you to know how much I enjoy watching your knitting and crafting adventures. Your tutorials are so helpful and inspire me to try techniques I would not have had the confidence to try if not for your tutorials. Your videos are so much more than a Knitting Podcast. You graciously and often with humour invite us to share your lives. Thank you both!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you so much for your kind words Deborah!

[@jessicanielsen7831]

Lovely work Gentlemen!! Arne is so flustered, darling fella. Arne's is so pleasing to my eye. Good job Carlos, it looks great! I must say, I love the melding you your personalities!

[@betsb23]

I can’t get enough of you two! I so enjoy watching your videos. And don’t get distracted and let the buns burn!! ♥️

[@pattiwankenobi]

Love how “real” you both are. We are all human and not perfect. ❤️ can’t wait to see your finished costumes. I’m sure they will look great! I can definitely sympathize with Arne. I am one who likes to research and understand and then I get frustrated when it does not come out right. I have learned a lot from my mistakes, and during this Covid-year, I have felt a lot more joy with my knitting, even when I mess up. So glad the sun came out for you today!

[@ARNECARLOS]

So are we and thank you for watching!

[@helennorbury9765]

Everyone’s craft starts from nothing! Love watching you boys. It’s so relaxing. It’s like having a coffee with two friends xxxxx

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for joining us Helen!

[@maiteng1308]

The words of the week are so much fun, they sometimes remind me of my mothertongue, which is Luxembourgish, for socks you say “Strëmp” (sounds almost like your word) and in dialect you say “Huësen” ❤️ I love sit an knit for a bit, sometimes I sew, cut out sewing patterns or I knit when I listen to you. It is so relaxing🍀 And it makes me wanna travel to Scandinavia.

[@ARNECARLOS]

😍

[@lizadams2263]

I love Carlos as he can't resist repeating how successful his weaving is! Arne is a good sport, showing his not quite there garter bands. I love all of this. I can see Carlos is going to bring this up for years!

Thank you James!

[@cathytorres3145]

My new Wednesday ritual: tea and SAKFAB: perfect “me” time for knitting, interesting conversation and wonderful company! You guys balance each other perfectly! The best duos always do and team work will get the job done brilliantly! Creative life is often messy, we make mistakes, it’s all in the journey! The folk costumes will be so lovely; can’t wait to see them.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Such a nice routine!

[@CaravelKiwi]

SAKFAB, love it, so much quicker than typing the full words, thank you Cathy!

[@noliecorwin5827]

[@charlottehinrichs7689]

I do the same on Thursday mornings, a good cuppa, my knitting and Arne & Carlos. On of my favorite times of the week, such a great break from hectic times and stressful days . I very much enjoy this experience, keep it up, guys! Already looking forward to next week 😅

[@jackieb1677]

Thank Arne and Carlos for the continuous smile you share each week. I so enjoy your stories and I love how you put the two dogs name together. I am not a knitter but I can crochet, I haven't done it in awhile but you are inspiring me to get back into it.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We hope you start crocheting again.

[@inannashu689]

The outfits are beautiful and that is the greatness of two people who compliment each other so well. Your skills in doing things can be combined.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@sisselsworld]

Poor Arne with his garter band, I feel for you! You will look so nice in your bunad! And thank you for being yourself and saying that we are all only human. None of us is perfect and it’s so true! ❤️

[@ARNECARLOS]

Very true!

[@kelliryan464]

Every perfectionist freaks out. Every knitter and crocheter wants their project to be perfect. Every fiber artisan knows if there is a slight flaw in their project and they let it drive them mad. Every project made with love and given as a gift is beautiful. Thank you dear friends for all you do to weave a little extra joy into our lives. P.S. just ordered a Freya, Arne & Carlos mug and tote. 1000 blessings .:':.

[@jetaboveclouds]

I want ro tell you that I LOVED your Nostepinne episode. I learned about it and got one and taught myself how to use it. Actually I use my french rolling pin (rouleau à pâtisserie) as one and it works great. I never would have known about it and in my little apartment it works wonderfully for me to wind my yarn into cakes. Thank you so much. I always learn so much from both of you. I love learning about Norway and your culture. xoxoxo

[@kimg5784]

Did a quick search: NY Fall Fashion Week 2019 the dicky was making a big splash =especially worn over shirts and with blazers like Arne, the dicky can now even be worn OVER a blazer too. Wow - with Covid most of us are not following fashion trends-Thank you for keeping us on track. I love this and with winter on the way I am in.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome, thank you for watching.

[@mymichelleknits3045]

I loved the nostepinne video so much! Showing people you can enjoy yourself learning something new. I would not be embarrassed at all. Love these sit and knit podcasts also. You two make me so happy.

[@carolpepper2424]

You both are perfect, authentic, and delightful humans! Thank you for showing both failures and success - that is real life.

[@ARNECARLOS]

[@lynnniemi3053]

It is encouraging to me, as a novice knitter, to know that even folks as talented as you two are sometimes have 'challenges', so I appreciate the honest, dogma style shows. I was almost done with the heel of the first sock I knit before I realized that I was adding it to the front of the sock! What a weird fit that would have been - but, it taught me to be more careful the next time. I am looking forward to every Wednesday evening now as I get to see you in your home and it is uplifting for sure! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@dianapurdy9529]

I enjoyed your spindle video and how playful you were in the learning process. No embarrassment!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@virginiasomerville5113]

I sit and crochet as I just knit minimum of stitches and am so slow. Arne do not get discouraged by not learning as quickly. Your work is beautiful. Love you guys and your beautiful countryside. Thank you for Sit and knit...I enjoy it so much.😍

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for joining us!

[@pamelaharris4016]

I cleared my whole afternoon to catch up and now my cheek muscles hurt from smiling. I totally love and appreciate how natural and authentic and funny you are in Sit and Knit with a Bit. On the large TV screen it is like having you join me in Fika. And Carlos, bask in the glow of your weaving success 😀. For the past 50 years the only thing my daughter Diane can not do ten times better than me is make pie crust...and I am never going to teach her.🤣 I just received my tote and now it is even more special knowing the drawing came from your hands. Thank you both for giving all of us the gift of yourselves and your talents.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you for supporting us and watching Pamela!

No one is born knowing how to walk. Everything is a process. Find joy in learning and trying.

[@ARNECARLOS]

That is very true.

[@CaravelKiwi]

And it's by our "mistakes" that we learn the most

[@sparklie962]

Congratulations Carlos on your weaving success! Of course we all know that practice makes perfect and that the majority of the time we have to really work at new skills to gain mastery over them. However, every once in a long while lightning strikes and something just clicks - and I think it's great to savour those victories! One of the first cooking projects I ever tried when I was 11 was a cheese souffle - and it turned out perfectly. haha my Mum was both proud and a bit put out as she'd had much spottier success with souffles herself. I still remember how good it felt to pull that perfect souffle out of the oven and serve it to my family.

[@ARNECARLOS]

That si very true!

[@CaravelKiwi]

My first pavlova was like that. But I've never been able to repeat that success :(

[@sparklie962]

@@CaravelKiwi mmmm pavlova - I've only made it once when I was a kid but my mum wasn't keen on how many egg whites it took (this was before the days when you could buy cartons of egg whites) and she didn't let me make it again. Was wonderful iirc but I've never had the nerve to try again - I guess when you're a kid you're like Pippi Longstocking and just assume it will work and so it does?? Such a shame when we grow out of that total self confidence haha

Thank you so much for sharing your views on perfection. I couldn't agree more. I love laughing with your guys and especially laughing at our imperfections. Thanks for sharing all of your talents with us.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome, lets all agree on being as good as we can!

[@leonakay6491]

Arne, you have done so well with your weaving, and it looks so involved. Carlos attempted a different way to weave this garter, and both look wonderful. Sometimes we try so hard to make it a certain way, and to do it perfectly, and that is okay too. We all learn from what we do. I can understand Arne's idea of why he wanted it to work traditionally. I love watching you wonderful guys, as you inspire and uplift me with your great videos. I have Norwegian ancestry, as my grandfather came from Oslo, and when I saw the picture of the Norwegian national costume, I felt goosebumps and a heartfelt connection to my ancestry. Love you both, you are beautiful souls, and so talented. You bring so much joy to others. From Australia xxx

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you Leona!

[@candygrubisic]

Third time's a charm Arne. Setting timers is a must for me if I'm busy with addictive crafts as well. I wonder how close the garter weaving is to our Native American sash weaving? I imagine the technique is similar. That's the drawback to the digital age, not enough "hard copy" paper items anymore. We are always all learning aren't we? Constructive criticism is a good thing :) I really like the new block!! I'm such a chatty Cathy.

[@ARNECARLOS]

[@Woeschhuesli]

Haha, while Arne was talking about his weaving research, I was thinking there was a really good article in the Bunad magazine I bought when I was in Norway 2 years ago but I guess he found it, too!! Well done Carlos for "getting it" immediately!! ;)

[@gwendolenshepard9124]

Do people inherit folk costumes? I bought your Christmas ball book on Kindle and think you 2 are even more handsome now. I love the history stories along with your language discussions. Last week I told you about that Danish knitting show, and saw one episode they had to make one of your ornaments from a picture. I got alk excited because I watch you 2 every week.

[@tinekejoldersma]

Yes, some do. In many countries where folk costumes are in use, it's the habit.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Yes, it is common to inherit them.

[@angelaevans8632]

In Wales we also have a traditional costume but it’s only worn by school children on March 1st, St David’s Day. Many children wear costumes that were previously worn by their mother or grandmother. The older costumes have woven Welsh woollen shawls.

[@gwendolenshepard9124]

So cool learning all these traditions.

[@amymikelson3060]

Having grown up in the US from several generations of those living here, I do not have a strong identity to a culture. So it is always fascinating to me to see and learn about folk costumes. I enjoy this information very much. In the last episode of Fruity Knitting, Andrea is dressed in a folk costume of the Faroe Islands and it was quite lovely. Anyway, it i something we lack as an American culture because we are a melting pot of so many cultures. Maybe in a few centuries a more unified American folk costume will emerge. Would be interesting to see. Thank you for another fun episode, even with the insistent dogs. When they barked, my dogs barked thinking it was someone outside. It made me laugh.

[@janeahrens6834]

There is a book titled Byways in Hand-weaving by Mary Meigs Atwater that illustrates the type of weaving you are doing for your garters. I bought the book, which was published in 1954, on Amazon. The garter weaving is called Osage Braiding or Finger Weaving in this book and an illustration can be seen on page 62. Instructions are also included in the chapter on Braiding and Knotting. A weaver friend introduced me to this technique as well as card weaving. Happy weaving.

[@ARNECARLOS]

I loved this episode so much. Particularly when you were talking about how you can enjoy something so much and it doesn't have to be perfect. It reminded me of when my husband and I took two of our kids out to go canoeing and none of us know how to do it. We basically went capsizing. Got to perfect towing the canoe back in. Never actually got the canoeing part down but we had such a great time and laughed so much. It is a story we still are talking about and love. Thank you so much for putting out these episodes. It is just a joy to watch the two of you.

You two make me so inspired. When I was in 7th grade my folks bought me this lovely Swiss grey outfit. It was a really full skirt and vest. It was trimmed in embroidery on the pockets and vest. Of course I was in an interurban school and got picked on because of it. But I still loved the outfit. So now43 years later I am going to recreate it. I used to love to sew and create. You have inspired me to do this. Thank you. I wish I could give you a big hug. Bless you.

Hi Arne and Carlos. I am binge-watching your videos all this week (you might have seen some comments I made to old videos). And now there's a new one again here. This format ('sit and knit for a bit ...' podcasts), with you just sitting somewhere and talking to us, I like this the most! I want to make a little remark on red knitted hats (and not only hats) in general: wool coloured red with madder (rubia tinctoria) was very popular in the past. It was considered good for the health of the wearer.

You two are natural and relaxed which is why everyone tunes in. I am glad you don’t change to comply with those who criticize.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

Hosenband, Strumpfe, my German brain totally understands these! I love how languages do that.

Hello Arne & Carlos, Carlos you had the most wonderful smile of accomplishment and so rightly too , plus Arne was also very happy for you too well done I so love learning all about your wonderful National dress and history of your beautiful Norway, so good to see you both looking so happy relaxed and not forgetting handsome xxx

Thank you Meg and thank you for joining us!

I'm late to the party, but as I've been binge watching your channel, I remember Carlos talking about how much he loved macrame as a kid. This was no happy accident! Carlos, the patience you've shown by waiting 20 years (since you're only 29) for the perfect moment to bust out your secret hidden talent is absolutely diabolical! I commend you. #RelationshipGoals

Welcome to our channel, fashionably late! ❤️

Also agree with Arne on nothing better than flipping through real pages. Once upon a time back in graduate school everyone would be reading text books. Not I, I would be found flipping through colorful crochet and fiber arts magazines.

Perfection is a perception. Nothing is perfect. Keep up the fun and wave as you pass by those that can't get a grip. Love the new block. Looking forward to seeing your costumes.
