Sorry about your dad Arne. That generation were remarkable. My gran died at 95 and until she broke her hip shortly before, she hadn't seen a Dr since her last son was born, 55 yrs beforehand. Amazing! She took 2 aspirin for everything. She was just a housewife but really that was an art in her day. She made the best brawn out of all the meat scraps, wasted nothing, and Cornish pasties. She cooked on a coal fire all her married life. Her hobbies were orchid breeding, gardening, she could grow anything, and budgies, small sweet colourful talking Australian birds. Thanks for the memories. We're in lockdown here in Eastern Australia so your podcast is sorely needed. Xx
Thank you so much for sharing your life with all of us during these '15 minute' podcasts - your charming stories, funny inside jokes, cultural insights, talented skills and general camaraderie are the perfect tonic to everything going on in the world right now! You have been missed.
Hoorah!! Like many others I have been binge watching previous episodes of A&C Sit and Knit for a Bit, and back catalogue content while you have been away. With all the trouble in the world at the moment ,you guys chatting for '15 mintues' is a refreshing distraction for me (and thousands of others!). Watching your episodes (and can I admit to rewatching episodes?) actually brings me a lot of joy. Thank you so much for doing what you are doing. Paula xo
My dear Arne and Carlos, I wanted to express my condolences to you. And thank you so much for this beautiful video. You definitely Inspire others to cultivate true Love, happiness and beauty. God bless you.
Nice to see you. So sorry for the loss of your dad, Arne. I lost mine on Christmas Eve a few years ago, so it's always a good time to raise a glass. He was 92. Celebrating his life and having fun making the cake for your birthday celebration is a great way to greet us on your return to your podcast. Thanks for sharing it all with us. Happy belated birthday, Arne.
I think that anyone who might be suffering from melancholy needs to watch this episode. Is there anything more delightful than watching Arne licking the bowl and look endearingly at the beater. What fun. I am so glad you are back. We missed you
Carlos, it is very good to learn about your personal story of complications & recovery from long covid. Very informative, evidence of what can happen to a healthy man, how long recovery has taken with very good, affordable health care. Thankyou, I have learned so much, the generosity, humility & kindness that you & Arne express is so heartening. You certainly deliver joy un bucketfuls 😙
I am glad you have each other at this rough time, you can't help but watch you two and see how much you love and support each other. My warmest thoughts.
Did you see the size of Arne's eyes when Carlos said, "Cream"? I think the space station called saying 2 more globes were spotted in Northern Europe.....It is delightful that he doesn't gain a pound, stone nor kilo. To be so blessed. Thrilled to hear you are in good health. Please stay that way for much, much longer.
Thank you for being together to help Arnie’s fathers last year. I appreciate your sharing the news of his passing. I loved Arnie telling stories of his father and the closeness that your shared. Let your fond memories carry you through your time of grief
I’m very sorry to hear about your father Arne, 91 is a good age to reach, but he is still your father. My dad will be 90 after Christmas and I try to spend good times with him so I won’t have regrets once he’s gone. I must say your looking very healthy now Carlos, hope your back to normal 👍 Lovely to see you both back 💚🌷💜
Can you imagine how much your podcasts mean to me!!! Sorry for your loss. A beautiful age, good that you could say goodbye. Thanks to the both of you for your beautiful, cozy videos that brighten up everything after a very busy week.
My condolences to you on your bereavement. I would love to hear more about Arne’s father, it sounds like he was a right character. It’s lovely that you were able to be with him as he crossed from this life. He will live on in your hearts, your memories and your knitting archive xx
Thank you for taking us with you up your Himalaya. What a beautiful view! Happy birthday Carlos and congratulations on becoming a Norwegian citizen. My son was born 51 years ago on August 27th. I live in south central Washington state where we had very high temperatures this summer - the highest was 115 degrees. Now we have forest fires about 30 miles to the west. It is causing very smokey skies. We’re looking forward to winter.
Really glad you both are back. So sorry for yr loss. Prayers for you both and family. Even if you don't knit, I knit while listening to you guys. Thank you!
Happy Birthday Arne! Your cake looks delicious. How lucky you are to have Carlos make you a cake. Arne, I am so sorry that your father passed, but it sounds like he had a long and wonderful life. From the stories you have shared with us, you had a lovely childhood and a close knit family. You both look great and well rested. I’m glad you had a nice summer, but even happier that you are back. You were missed!
Coming from NZ, pavlova is our traditional Xmas dessert, often covered with strawberries and cream. My mother, and hers before, always uses the yolks to make lemon curd then folds that into the whipped cream. It's so delicious and there's no waste.
I don’t think I’ve had a really good belly laugh (complete with a few tears) since you went on holiday. Thank you, thank you, thank you for coming back to us and filling us in on all that’s occurred over the summer so far! Happiest of birthdays, Arne! 👏🎂👏🎉❤️😘 Carlos, I am so happy to hear you are doing so well after your long-term COVID! Keep up the good work and your therapy! 👏👏🏔👏👏❤️😘
Yeah!! 👏👏👏 Catching up on old TH-cam content from the two of you has been my go to when I just need to shut everything else out and relax this past year and a half... Thank you for being there! So happy to see you'll be coming back live.
So difficult to lose a parent but glad you were able to spend some time together. Thanks for this catch up and baking episode. Between the rolling out of bed, getting yolk in the whites, Freda and Arne licking the bowl, and some of the English subtitles confused by the accents e.g. “sit in it for a bit” , this video brought some much needed laughter! Thank you🥰
😁Arne, you made me laugh when you had to lick the bowl. 👨🍳 Carlos, the cake collapsing is actually part of the recipe to ensure that there is enough room for all the berries. Glad that you’re back!
Sorry about your loss. Happy Birthday Arne. Love your gentle nature gentlemen. I've been doing a lot of knitting. Selbu Mittens and sweaters for grandkids. ❤️
Happy birthday Arne and I'm drooling over the cake yummy yummy!! Like you I have a sweet tooth😍 so sorry to hear about your Dad but so glad you has time to spend with him and I'll think of him with his horses in heaven ,heaven's gained another angel😇🐎🎂💞 xxx
Missed you both. So good to see you again. Arne so very sorry to hear about your dad. I know your lovely memories will help you get through. Hope you share about him one day.
How lovely to have you both back. I only have time for 20 mins watching now but I will be back. Use the egg yolks to make passion fruit or lemon curd and drizzle some over the pavlova with the cream and fruit um yum, yum 😋. I'm looking forward to hearing about your father Arne, whenever you feel up to it. Such an interesting generation born long before consumer culture became a thing, so much to learn from them.
COVID has made so many changes in our world, thank you for bringing some joy to those of us that enjoy sharing time with you. You are both wonderful people.
Condolences on the loss of your father Arne. Belated birthday wishes too. I know you had to take a break, but you've both been missed. Very good video, nice to see/hear what you've been doing.
YEAH! So glad you both are back. This was a wonderful way to start the new season of Sit and Knit for a Bit..... Love the birthday cake. I think if you used a plate with no sides, or a flat tray, the meringue would sit flat on the bottom and would not collapse in the middle. Happy belated birthday,. Arne.
sp very sorry to hear about the loss of your father, Arne! 91 is a good age to reach. Glad to see both of you back in full swing on You tube. take good care of each other.
Happy Belated Birthday Arne, sorry to hear about your Dad. My Dad just passed away a month ago at 100 and 8 months. It is sad no matter how wonderful and long their lives were. Would love to hear more about him one day.
I am so sorry to hear the loss of Arne’s father. It’s so difficult losing a parent no matter their age. I look forward to hearing about your father in the future when it’s easier to talk about his life. 💕 💕
Oh my....big-big condolences to you Arne!! However long and great a life has been it is always so so hard to lose a parent, for us left behind. Always and forever missing my mom and dad forever.
Happy birthday Arne so sorry for your father’s passing I am so glad for you that you got to spend his last days with you and family will keep you and your family in my prayers love your passion for everything you and Carlos do love from Gerri in Tennessee
oh I loved watching you both again. So sorry for the loss of Arnes father, it must have been a difficult time. And happy belated Birthday to Arne - happy 29th Birthay ;-) - may you will have lots of them again. Carlos Cake looks so delicious - I am hungry now. I am looking forward to your sunday videos. I will pick up my WIPs again and and work on them while listening to you
Happy Belated Birthday, Arne! Sorry to hear about your Dad. It sounds like he had a rich and full life. So happy to have you both back. See you on Sunday! Annx
Happy 29th Birthday Arne..this has been a delightful episode, thank you so very much..I would love to hear more about Arnes dad..when you are ready,we will all be here.🤗❣🍰
Welcome back, guys! I have missed you two and can't wait for the surprise in September. Carlos had his hands full making a cake with Arne at his side hahaha! I laughed out loud so many times! I always feel like I'm visiting with friends when I watch your episodes - weird, but very true. Enjoy the rest of August and take care :))
Nothing sweeter than fifteen minutes in an evening spent with Arne and Carlos, except perhaps, a norsk jordbær! That burst of flavor when you pop one in your mouth is never forgotten. Visiting my daughter-in-law's family hytte in the mountains southeast of Trondheim in 2014, she stored the leftover, perfectly ripe strawberries in a metal bowl with a plate on the top. Just a few hours later, she grabbed the bowl to serve the strawberries on our breakfast oatmeal and they had fermented! I too know what you mean about Geiranger fjorden. Some of those big cruise ships just sit in port belching black smoke all day while their passengers are ashore! The smaller Hurtigruten ferries are the best way to travel the coastline. My dad, too, decided it was time as he approached his 92nd birthday. Waited until his only grandson and his wife were able to visit from Norway, and quietly passed a month later. Like your dad, Arne, a great storyteller who lived al long, productive, interesting life. Thank you for sharing your lives and adventures with knitters around the world.
Hello to you both. This is Victoria in Kansas City, USA. I was so saddened to hear of Arne's father's passing. Please accept our most sincere condolences. You were so kind to console me after my own father died of covid in Feb. I wouldn't expect you to remember, you read so many comments, but it meant the world to me. I continue to look forward to every one of your broadcasts. Love survives all. Please find comfort in that.
Oh my goodness, I have missed you two! Arne: “I’m done talking now” and “the crumb just fell off the cake’. Lol. Wishing you both the very best kind of adventures moving forward (only the best kind). Thank you for sharing a belated birthday party with us, Carlos. Happy Birthday, Arne!
You both are a delight. And I salute your country and it’s citizens for beating back this awful virus. I am in America and you know what nonsense is going on here.
Thank you for sharing your lives with us in such dear and charming ways. It sorta makes me feel a part of your family. Glad that you had time to spend with your father, Arne (and Carlos). May his memories sustain you both.
Hi guys! So glad to have you back again! Arne, so sorry for the loss of your Dad. Looking forward to hearing stories about him in future episodes. So... What to make with all those egg yolks??? Homemade ICE CREAM! Soooo delicious! Thanks for all the giggles! XOX
Queridos! So glad you are enjoying a productive and beautiful summer. Condolences on the passing of your father, Arne. My father too died of old age, and there is a saying, "The death of an old man is not a tragedy." It may sound cruel to some, but we know that it is not. A good life lived! Blessings to all! Good health to both of you. Big love from Chicago!
So glad that you were able to spend time with Arne's Dad before his passing. That is so special. Here is a tip for your cake. On one of you thrift store tours, look for a cake plate which is flat. Unlike a large plate or platter the is curved. Then your meringue would not be sitting on the rim of the plate which will encourage the meringue to break or collapse. Glad you are back.
I was going to make the same suggestion about using a flat plate before decorating the top. Another tip could be to make a “nest” shape with a slight hollow in the centre before baking. However, with this type of cake, it all tastes great in the end, and I love it when you get chewy bits in the middle. Well done Carlos and belated happy birthday to Arne.
Belated Happy Birthday greetings, Arne! When I reached the age of 29 my brother gave me the (so far) only useful advice he's ever offered: stay that age forever! My sympathies for your loss, Arne. I know you will treasure the many happy memories you must have.
Arne, I am so sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences. I am so very happy to see you both back. You are looking relaxed and well. I really would love to hear some stories of your Dad.
So happy your back, love you guys so much, you are always my favorite people to hang out with. Sorry you lost your father, I lost my father when he was 45 yrs young, after 7 heart attacks, he was ready to move on.
Thank you ! So lovely to see you both again! I’m sorry to hear about your Father Arne! It made me said in way as it happened exactly same to my Father at 92 years ! My deepest condolences! Hugs & xx 😘
Belated birthday wishes to you Arne and condolences to you about the passing of your father❤️ It is good to see you both again your videos are always a pleasure🥰
What a treat to have Sit and Knit back again, thank you. So sorry about your father Arne, my condolences to you and your family. And congratulations on the Pavlova Cake, it looks wonderful

I reckon that Arne’s special cake would be a real hit with all of us on Kate’s Lime Green Sofa! What a super episode- thank you both!
What A wonderful sense of community for you to achieve herd immunity!!! That’s fabulous!
😍
