Additional information
In a completely surprise move, Björn was filmed in three short videos knitting with actor Sir Ian McKellen!
They were both knitting the Christmas jumper that was available for the first time in 2021 from the ABBA Voyage shop.
They appear to be ad-libbed - though might not be.

The first video was completely in silence other than the clicks of their knitting needles showing both Björn and Sir Ian knitting and comparing the Little Things black Christmas jumper.
Released: 21 November 2021
