    My husband’s family (his great grandparents) emigrated from Setesdal. We were fortunate to visit his farm in Iveland in 2018. We even met the “sweater detective” on one of our adventures. I can’t wait see the next episodes! I am a knitter, spinner, dyer and feltmaker.

    So nice to hear that people are keeping traditions alive in Norway. Would love to see some video of Arne swathing the flower field! Nice to see your current knitting projects and future ideas for sweaters. Thanks for all the time and effort you put in your videos. They are truly enjoyable!

    The Norwegian moose call was priceless! But be careful out there, I know someone who was almost killed by a moose in Alaska while out walking her two dogs. They are beautiful but nasty!!!

    Arne your eyes lit up with the thought of buying the land and building. It is a beautiful place. I think it's a lovely idea even if you didn't build it belonged to your family a nice place to camp. Thank you for sharing can't wait to see the crafts.

    Hi Arne, hello Carlos. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. The moose whisperer in the woods calling lol, oh my word Arne is a very dangerous man to walk in the woods with I think. Love all the yarn you have been buying and also the beautiful knitted mittens. I am looking forward to seeing your adventures. Thanks guys. Take care and see you soon xxx

    Arne and Caros three times a week! Great news. There is never too much of you two. It is so much fun watching Arne pushing Carlos's buttons. I can just picture Arne calling the moose. We use to have a mother moose and her calf living in our yard one winter. My children learned to make sure the moose weren't around before heading outside. I'm also looking forward to the re-release of your patterns.

    I can't wait to see and hear more. Just a quick story from me. I'm Swedish but grew up in S.Africa. When my husband and I got married, we married in the Norwegian church in a small town called Marburg. There were many Norwegians in that area that settled there in the 1800. My husband is related to some of these settlers. I have a very interesting book about the settlers. Did Arne maybe have any relatives who emigrated to South Africa in the 1800?

    I guess I live a very dull life, no crazy people! You are crazy, in a very good way! Now I know what a moose sounds like. I guess I really never thought about that but now I have been enlightened! My last comment said i would see you Sunday. This was a surprise, a very nice surprise. I just ordered yarn that I need like a hole in my head. It is a serious addiction. So far there is no cure! Can't wait to learn more about your folk costumes. I am going to be so cultured for sure! Thanks guys!

    Last year I bought a scythe and I LOVE it. Just as quick as a strimmer, but no noise or petrol fumes, and no tiny bits of grass all over the place.
    It's not hard, or dangerous, Carlos! Try it- I think you will enjoy it!

    What a delightful episode of Sit and Knit for a Bit. Seeing the scythe that you use for your flower meadow - I have the scythe that belonged to my great-grandfather. It was hand made (the handle part, not the blade) and he'd worn the blade out and it broke so he had someone mend it. I remember seeing him standing in the field next to our home cutting the tall weeds. Thankyou for sharing so much of your life and thoughts with us.

    Gentlemen, the moose in Arizona, near the Grand Canyon, have the same sound as Arne's call! Once I was visiting a herd of alpacas in Maryland, and one of the alpacas charged and butted me! I laughed afterwards, but it was such a surprise! My husband tells me that being butted by an alpaca gives me knitter's "street cred." I suppose being butted by a sheep is also knitter's "street cred," Carlos, so welcome to the club!!

    Sit and Knit for a Bit just gets better and better and better! My fingers, toes and eyes are crossed for an end to the fireplace saga by October. What a celebration that first fire will be! ......... "Norwegian Knits with a Twist" is my absolute favorite of all your books. And made even more special because you both signed it for me during the little workshop in Portland. I adore every pattern and hope one day to knit them all. ........... and nice to know I am in such good company when it comes to UFO's! They are taking over my world. ...... L O V I N G the Sedestal series. Honoring and preserving the art and craft heritage of those who brought them to life in the first place and those who carried them forward is so important, especially in these " culturally disposable days". As always, thank you.

    49:21 Another option instead of a sycth (if your both uncomfortable with such a large blade) is to use a set of giant loppers. It will take longer and may make your arms sore but that I think should also work.

    What an enjoyable episode. Hunters here in Canada call moose to attract them. My father-in-law once came across a group of bull moose butting heads in a circle when he was far in the bush hunting, and he said it was terrifying. Moose hunting season where I live is in November, which is also mating season. He left the area as fast as he could! I'm very excited about your current series. I'm making my husband a cardigan for Christmas by steeking the Men's Setesdal Sweater from your Norwegian Knits With a Twist book. I've been planning it for months. It's so funny because I had no clue about your Setesdal series! It makes it even more special since I am working on his cardigan while watching your series. My husband and my three grown kids all know about "Arne and Carlos" - I talk about you guys like we're good friends haha!
