Det lyder afslappende. Jeg strikker meget. Det er næsten som meditation for mig.

That sounds relaxing. I knit a lot. It's almost like meditation for me.

Det lyder spændende. Hvad strikker du?

That sounds interesting. What do you knit?

Mette

Lige nu strikker jeg en sweater til min nevø. Nå, pausen er vist slut.

Right now I'm knitting a sweater for my nephew. Well, I think the break is over.

Okay. God arbejdslyst, og vi ses senere.

Okay. Enjoy your work, and see you later.

I lige måde. Det var hyggeligt at snakke.

You too. It was nice to talk.
