Jennifer Wood - Cables & Lace - Ep. 83 - Fruity Knitting 

I loved the two designers you featured in this episode. So vastly different in terms of their passion, from complex stitched garments to equally complex toys. What amazing imaginations they have to dream up these creations just for us! ❤

I have only knitted one of Jennifer Wood's designs. However I have to say it is one of my favorite pieces and fits so well and was so clearly written. She is such a great designer. Love her work.

What a great conversation about fitting knitting. Thank you and more please!

An other wounderful episode. I love Jennifer´s desings! And thank you for talking about adjusting patterns to real people!

You are great Andrew what ever knitting you do, why do we think we need to race every thing we do, you do it at your own speed and enjoy it keep up with the great work.

The crocheted animals had me smiling while watching. Never cared for the toys, but I got a request years ago to make a poodle from a Red Heart pattern. After making it, I loved it! Never made another because I stopped crocheting due to a wrist injury so I changed back to knitting. Never really saw any other animal projects that enticed me since till now. Thanks for having her as a guest.

Thanks for another very enjoyable episode...Jennifer Woods is wonderful! I would definitely have needed to watch the tutorial to work out how to thread the little beads on the thick wool! Just another thing (amongst so many!) I’ve learnt from your podcasts. 😄

I’m not a crochet person, and don’t want to start a new hobby, but I love the designs and skill you and your guests have shared. I think we “fiber-folks” love this amazing talent pool you share with us. Once again, a beautiful show. Your colour search resulted in the most perfect combination. I appreciate the tips you have on getting the right fit, including putting aside the cardigan until Madeleine is home, as well as the possible chore of ripping back. Such a lesson in quality knitting. I hope people become Patreon subscribers. For the cost on a special coffee a month, we get such quality.

Oh those mythical creatures! Not something I’d usually make but this episode has severely tempted me

Thank you Andrea and Jennifer. I have learned so much. Jennifer is so inspirational and encouraging. I had to buy her book.

Another great episode, Andrea and Andrew. They are always so interesting and inspiring, with the added bonus of wonderful music. And Bing Crosby today! My mum loved him, so I grew up listening to his wonderful voice, and whenever I hear him it brings Mum close again. Thank you so much!

Loved this episode! Can't wait to try a Jennifer Wood pattern. As always I enjoyed seeing Andrew and Andrea's work, too. I am in a life transition right now but hope to be able to start supporting your show and several other podcasts I watch on a regular basis soon. And thank you to all the viewers who are currently supporting Fruity Knitting and other podcasts. You not only make it possible for these shows to continue, but also make them available to those of us who can't quite budget for the financial support. I don't know what I'd do without vlogs, blogs and podcasts. The crochet segment really hit home with me. I have just finished a two month assignment teaching crochet squares while also creating a crocheted undersea scene. This will all culminate in a yarn bombing event supporting the NGO education program that is sponsoring the event. So, I was really feeling those fantastic creatures! I have just started using crochet without patterns to make 3-D objects. I hope I can come up with some ideas half as good in the future. Thanks for presenting all these fiber artists. It is a pleasure to learn about all their amazing work.

Thank you so much Andrea for the closing gaps at the underarm tips....that is an issue i have been struggling with on a baby sweater....your technique and explanation are superb. Love your show...everything demonstrates excellence and loveliness. Andrew and you do a superb job. Greetings from Wales.

This was a wonderful episode! I enjoyed every segment. That dragon was absolutely stunning! Such a creative mind she has. Then the gorgeous cables and lace I was so impressed with her that she makes me want to try out her patterns. You can just see how much both of your guests loved what they do, their eyes sparkled with excitement. Thank you for all your hard work both of you for putting on this amazing episode. You never disappoint us!

Wow, the crochet animal designs are spectacular! Very clever, talented and inspired lady :)

Ms. Wood very generously shares her design process with us, and her inspiration and thought process.

Andrea, the colour combinations in your St. Lunaire Griquet sweater are absolutely stunning. All the thought you put into which colour to choose certainly paid off.

Jennifer Wood so talented , very elegant designers.can ‘t believe the she learned knitting just by herself and books

Wow that crochet is spectacular. Thanks for having her as a guest!

Thank you for the Crafty Intentions segment. Megan is such a lovely person and her community is so supportive. I love all of her work!

Love Jennifer's Evelyn jacket with the swing back!

Jennifer Wood.... amazing beautiful work, thanks again for sharing another great designer!! great interview, thank you.

I actually came over from Crafty Intentions Facebook page in an attempt to know more about her and her designs. I just want to comment as a fellow entrepreneur on your not wanting to make a behind the scenes video... we have a saying in the computer game space. No one wants to see how the sausage actually gets made. Your video is really informative, well edited and your guests are delightful. I have always been a fan of fiber arts though I learned basic crochet from my mother. My grandmother used to make amazing Irish lace and my mother made children's toys and purses with crochet. Thank you for an enjoyable time and the wonderful hosting.

Loved this podcast! Megan is do clever! Enjoyed jennifer's designs and presentation....charming! You and Andrew are perfect as always. Thank you!

I loved your guest... Jennifer Wood... and her accent and encouragement... kind of wish she were an actress so i could see more of her.. xx Good episode .. thankyou A and A

Jennifer is a true inspiration! Thanks for having her on. Great episode.

Another great episode. Jennifer Wood is great.

Always a delight to spend time with the 2 of you! Ty for another wonderful episode 💚

you've made my day, Andrea and Andrew :) I'm sitting here, knitting Jennifer Woods' Dandelion Wish and notification pops up with your new video about underarms holes I tend to struggle with and an interview with my favorite designer. thank you so much, your timing is impecable

Just tried your technique of closing under the sleeves and it worked perfectly didn’t feel like I was fudging the closure thank you!

I loved this episode. It has made me want to take the plunge and design my own knit patterns. I have always wanted to and now I am going to give it a try. Thank you so much for your podcast.

You got me laughing, Andrea, with your statement about living your previous life in the Baroque era...you just keep stretching those boundaries of color & pattern convention, because your results are spectacular!! Great job!

jennifer is a cool lady! Always nice to hear technical stuff explained. I hadn't heard of her before but her patterns are amazing! Also holy shoot your sweater is gorgeous Andrea! You did an amazing job!

Oh my heart. I have loved Jennifer's designs for some time, but now I have a whole new level of appreciation for her design skills. And I did not realize she was a Tennessee girl! I am an Appalachian transplant to the Midwest and hearing her accent this morning has made me so very homesick 💚

A beautiful episode as always. I also live near the Tennessee mountains, in the Chattanooga valley. I didn’t realize she was a neighbor❤️. I am a crocheter and appreciate your shout out to us! Your blanket will be stunning.

A great interview with a really lovely designer. I didn‘t know Jennifer Wood before, so thank you for the opportunity to get to know her. I will defintely have a look throught her list of designs! Oh, and your pullover fits you very nicely.

Beautiful job on your jumper. I love the stitches and colorwork and thank you so much for the tips on the arm holes. Also, WOW! Jennifer Wood!!!! I am completely humbled!

Wow, what an episode! First Andrea, your pullover is absolutely gorgeous! The colors and fit are sublime. When you lifted your arm, at one point, I watched to see if the whole sweater lifted up with it, and it didn't. Your skills are amazing. I have swimmer's shoulders so I can never find tops to fit me in stores. The armholes are always gigantic in ready-to-wear tops to accommodate my big shoulders and large biceps and then the chest area is way too big for my tiny bust. When I watch how you custom fit your garments it is inspiring. One day I will have the time to try to fit for my body. (I work long hours full-time and don't have much time to knit, so this is a "one day" wish.) Second, Jennifer was fantastic. So inspiring and creative. Third, Megan was very impressive. Fourth, the story of your childhood was charming. Fifth, Andrew is such a great guy! He always makes me laugh! I love his humor. Thank you once again for a great episode. I am happy to be a patreon and I hope that everyone who watches, (binge watchers... I'm talking to you) puts their money where their interest is ... in you!

Browsing RU-vid for something to watch while knitting the Tarian pattern - I LOVEEEE Jennifer's designs

Just finished watching. The song "Beautiful Dreamer" was one my grandma and dad used to play together on the piano and guitar. I learned to play it on piano when I we quite young. It brought back memories. I'm a knitter, so I will be looking up Jennifer Wood, and sharing this video. Thankyou for all your hard work.

Thank you for this video! Jennifer's story, craft and personality was so inspiring for me! 😍

Jennifer was a delight! And my GOODNESS that crochet! Amazing episode as always! 😘

What an awesome video! The colours and designs and info, and I'm only at the beginning. Thankyou so much.

I really enjoyed Jennifer's interview!! She is so inspiring! Her explanations were clear and precise. Wow, was Megan's work ever impressive! Works of art for sure! Thanks for another great episode.

Andrea, your top is stunning. Perfect fit and colours. Another wonderful show, and so appreciate the Aussie 'darls' references to each other.

Great episode! I really appreciate the technical videos and content that talks about shaping and sizing. I recently had a double mastectomy and have been trying to think through how to modify knitting for my changed body. It’s a work in progress for sure LOL!

another great episode thank you both,

That John Arbon colour suits you so well Andrea. What a lovely generous woman Jennifer is!

Jennifer full of ideas and inspiration. Love your finished sweater. BrambleKnits 🇨🇦

I’ve been hoping and waiting for an interview with Jennifer! I’ve loved her designs for a long time! Another great episode!

It was a pleasure to watch the interview. I^m now going to find Jennifer on Instagram to make sure I don't miss her class on adjusting patterns. Such helpful tips! And not to forget, your choice of music for this episode - loved it.

Loved this episode. Such creative designers!

Another great piece of work! Many thanks.Julia xx

Excellent interview with Jennifer Woods. I have been working on Jolie, which is one of her patterns. Also crocheted animals are beyond stunning. I knit stuffed toys but this knitters put me in awe.

Megan: Wow!!! That is so impressive! Amazing work. On lace and cables; it's like I hear myself talking (on the lace bit! ) Episode 28 😘 Great episode Andrew and Andrea! Thank you

Terrific episode! Really enjoyed every topic!

Enjoyed closing the gaps. Andrew, whatever pace you maintain is an asset to the show, slow or fast.

Off I go exploring Jennifer Wood's designs. 😍 Thank you for featuring her, as well as Megan Lapp. They are both amazing designers in their field and I'll explore both of them more, and may even enter in a Fruity Knitting KAL ♥

I had hoped to see my name included with the patrons - Deena R great episode - thank you

Andrea and Andrew, thank you for another great show. Your sweater is beautiful. Thank you for the tutorial in closing gaps. I really like Jennifer’s design and I’m already planning my next project with a couple of her designs. You are such an inspiration!

The best singers make it look easy. Guess that’s true for production as well. And Jennifer is from the same part of Tennessee I come from. I knew I recognized that accent.

Such a lovely episode, thank you guys! Hugs & sunshine 🌞 N

I love, love, love the cable and lace work. Thank you for all the hard work you do, which results in another great episode and to the generous patreon discounts from your contributors.

Andrea you did an amazing job on Saint Lunaire Griquet by Jennifer Beale. I'm excited to start mine. LOVE... you and Andrew's energy and enthusiasm. Thanks for the hard work.

Вы такие классные! Смотрю каждый ваш выпуск!

Your crochet is looking beautiful! You two crack me up! Husbands love to poke at us don't they. lol I LOVE cables! In fact I was doing cables when I started knitting. I loved how she was describing them! Tennessee is beautiful. I have family that lives there and grew up visiting them. OMG the crocheted dragon! Now I want to make one! I love all your videos but I have to say I really enjoyed this one! Thank you!

I looove the matching nailpolish! :D Very beautiful FO & WIP :)

Andrea, love your choice of colours of your new jumper. Cheers from chilly north east vic.

Glad to see some crochet content as well!

Andrea, your new jumber is great! The dark color on the joke is perfekt, it looks very good on you. My next projekt will be this jumber, thank you for your valuable tips for fitting.

Great episode so interesting and inspiring.

Your St. Lunaire Griquet looks absolutely stunning on you!!!! Great Work!

Great episode! Than you ;)

WOW! Megan!!

Thank you for another great episode. I particularly liked the tutorial which I found very informative and useful. Like another commenter, I'd like to know the name of the pattern Jennifer is wearing in the intro. I will send her a message! Also, LOVE your latest jumper!

Your sweater is beautiful

Excellent & informative esp Jennifer Woods. Name of mustard allover cabled pullover hanging above her head? She's wearing it while knitting under the tree. I searched w no luck. Thank you ☺

Andrea-I really appreciate your tutorials. I have a suggestion: Could you please leave the time at which they roughly occur in the notes. I would like to have it for future reference so that I can go back and use it.

Loved this episode, especially the interview with Jennifer Wood - very inspiring! Just wanted to ask if you know the name of the design she is wearing at the beginning when she’s knitting outside? It was also hanging up behind her the whole interview and I was dying to know what it was! Thanks for another great video Andrew and Andrea x

I can't find the cabled mustard pullover Jennifer Wood is wearing at the intro. Is that un upcoming pattern?

Always love your shows. Sorry I'm not in a position to become a patron atm. X

Which bind off did you use for the neck?

SALVE CARISSIMA BELLISSIMO VIDEO ,MA NON TROVO GLI SCHIEMI - STICKERS?-

I love seeing the beautiful things you knit😍 Do you have enough subscribers to monetize your videos?

Your sweater is beautiful, just gorgeous! Love your show. How did you all come up with the name of the show?

A great show again. Thanks a lot! One important question: What is the book title Jennifer read with her daughter and which was initial to her to learn knittign ? Hope, anyone can help; I can't understand correctly what she said. Many thanks.
