You had me at lambing! I grew up with sheep and miss them very much. Seeing the sweet lambs bounce and jump and the birth. Goosebumps!!! I love your podcasts, your instructional tidbits and the new projects you choose. The variety and passion that each of us share unites us as we create beauty to brighten our world!!
Wow!!! The ladderback jacquard technique is fantastic. I have always avoided colorwork like the tiger face for all the reasons you cited. Thanks so much for the tutorial. Absolutely fantastic! Of course, the rest of the episode was also fabulous. I (and my husband) both loved the lambing segment so much!
Love all the baby lambs...the traditional knitting was so interesting and the Japanese inspired knitting was incredible. Thank you for your lovely podcast.
Thank you, thank you so much, Fruity Knitting folk ... as always a wonderful podcast, and your ladderback jacquard segment is a game changer! I love refining my techniques and outcomes. You have enriched my life!
Andrea and Andrew, thank you again for another great episode. Andrea, thank you for the tutorial. I can’t wait to try it on my next color work project.
From Pennsylvania.....I’m so happy to see Beth Reinsel featured in this episode! I learned stranded knitting from her in 2 workshops. I made my Norwegian mittens from her patterns, and also learned how to steek in her “teddy bear” Bergen sweater workshop. I hope to be having another workshop with her onboard ship in South America next January/ February. 💕
Loved the interview with Beth Reinsel - so interesting! Now I just want to knit everything.... Thanks for the tutorial. That is a very handy technique and you solved a mystery I have been trying to solve for years! I have a Dale of Norway sweater that was machine knit. The cuffs were made using this technique for the colour work. I have asked lots of knitters about how it was done and now I know!
Great tutorial for a technique I had not yet heard about--thanks for introducing me to something new! I now feel like intarsia-style patterns are within reach :) Very cool! Hoping you are both well! ~Melissa
Love your Camden cap and the tiger sweater. Thank you for your tutorial and for Beth's explanation of so many traditional techniques. I agree that there is a wonderful feeling of connection through this craft! Kim and Jennifer's adventures as OB/GYN/Midwife and mommies to so many babies was delightful. Bernice's designs are so elegantly feminine...love them. And should you decide to visit Newfoundland someday, I know you will love it. I did...stunning scenery and warm, friendly people. Just plan for a summer holiday though; winters can be brutal. There was a lot to take in with this episode which is why I love being able to view them again. HUgs
Nature's Luxury Legends of the Fall what is there not to like about that. Wow, the colorway got me first then your knitting with it and that shine oh my I have got to see if my yarn shop (90 miles away) has it, phone call time!!! Even the name is FANTASTIC of the yarn and colorway. I have no idea what I'll knit yet.
This ladder back technique is so exciting! I've never heard of it, but this is the biggest problem I have with stranded knitting! I can't wait to try this on my current colorwork projects!
Just saw this episode and enjoyed the diversity of the themes. Thank You! And its maybe late to comment, but once I read an article of MDK about swatching. In that the author pointed out, that not only the fabric and needle size have impact on the gauge, but also the material of the needles. So if Yoy could not get the 2,65 mm needles, maybe try can out bambus or wood or may also another producer than Your usually used. The sweater design is really stunning!
Dear Andrea and Andrew, Thank you so much for this gorgeous Episode. Love the Part with the lambs 😍. I really Love your podcast 😃😃😃. Liebe Grüße Annette
Thank you Andrea for showing us the laddering technique - I've been wanting to knit some of Junko Okamoto's patterns like Rug and Twigs that have widely spread motifs and I think this technique will work really well on the high contrast colour ways I want to use. You've explained and shown it so clearly I will save this and refer back to it
Those colours look stunning on you Andrea! I know redheads often favour greens and blues, but I also think those oranges and autumn colours really really suit you.
Such a wonderful episode. The tutorial was very informative but I am confused by how this is accomplished when knitting in the round. Doesn’t the contrast colour end up in the wrong place if the motif is only on one part of the round ( e.g. just on the front of the garment or on only the back of the hand of a mitten? Sorry to be so dense about this. Beth is a treasure chest of knowledge. I have taken class from her and she is an excellent teacher. Very well organized and patient with the students and the learning process. I am proud to not only be a Fruitty Knitting patron but also a Beth Brown-Reinsel patron as well! Cannot wait for the two new patterns to be released from Knitters of the World segment. Such elegant yet wearable designs. Glad that Andrew will be able to join you, Andrea, as you continue this contribution to my enhanced knitting experience. You are a great asset and I thank you both.
40:43 - If one needle size isn't available, just try using a different material. Bamboo, Wood, Plastic, Steel and super-smooth nickel coated needles will each give you a different gauge, even if they are the same size.s
Beautiful work as always. Thank you. Just a small note on the nattrøje. Maybe it is on purpose from your side, but I'll just draw your attention to a little grammar: nattrøjer is in plural. One nattøje - several nattrøjer.
We should give thanks for our animals in what they give us meat wool and company and on going love. I love all your work and what a sweet man you have a Gent.
Love the ladder technique for the colour work knitting. Re the work behind the scenes for the production of fruity knitting, would you consider doing a short video called behind the scenes to show us just how much work does go in to each episode. You both work very hard and it would be no harm to let people see this. Just an idea.
Hello Andrew and Andrea :) Andrew should tried on the Campton hat to see how it looks on him! :D You two are so adorably in love! It's wonderful to see! ( I love that style of hat and may save up and get the pattern and wool for a 2020 gift to myself) Thank you for explaining how you solved a troubling part of the pattern. As I was watching you, I was wondering if the live stitches could be crocheted closed ? Maybe? What a lovely sweater you made for your niece, A & A. The stitching is so well done. And when Simba grows out of it, it would make a fun project for her to turn it in a pillow :) It was great to see Jennifer and Kim again and I loved seeing those scenes of the lambs leaping. *heart swelling* Lambs makes my soul smile so deeply. Your podcast is of the highest quality and provides such a broad spectrum of topics relating to wool/sheep/fibers, it is easily able to capture the interest of people. I started 'binge' watching your podcast earlier this year - am almost caught up to the most recent episode - and feel so much more educated and informed! Thank you and thank you to all of the wonderful sponsors for continuing to produce such a wonderful channel. Much gratitude to all!
Beth Brown-Reinsel is a treasure! Check out Beth's website and channel for loads of great resources! RU-vid: ru-vid.com Website: knittingtraditions.com/
Thank you for producing such a good show, i like to support your effort but i am old and do not want to enter into a continuous commitment as offer in Patreon , how about one off contribution options ?
Another great episode❤️. I am knitting the Camden hat too, thanks for the tips. Love Jennifer Beale designs and have St Lunaire Griquet on my to do list too. Did you notice that Jennifer from Fleece and Harmony was wearing one of J Beale’s designs? Always love your Canadian content.🇨🇦 Bernice’s designs were lovely. Will be checking them out now and finally Beth’s knowledge and experience is fascinating and interesting. Btw Andrea just wanted to say your hair looks amazing.
Andrea, I don’t want you to take this the wrong way as I love watching you and seeing your advanced knitting. Your work is marvelous. What I would like to ask is that you allow Andrew his time in the sun. We all know that you do the more advanced things in Andrews projects, such as short rows and seaming, but sometimes you really go on about it. Perhaps Andrew is ok with this but it really bothers me. It’s ok to mention how you helped him, but then maybe let it be more about him. He is doing such a great job as a new knitter, and you are so terribly lucky to have a husband to knit and do a podcast with. All my love and good wishes to both of you. Jeanne
I wish you did a tutorial on how you knitted the cover for the brim and how you knitted it all together on to the hat I've been trying to figure out a way to do a Brim but there are no tutorials for knitting a Brim is it possible you could do a tutorial for that it will really help me thank you so much love your videos
If you buy the pattern for the Camden Hat, Woolly describes the construction details very well. That together with the tips that I gave for joining the live stitches together should give you a good basic to help you design your own.
Andrew and Andrea, cowl Andrew is knitting is very similar to a sweater project Roxanne Richardson is doing on her RU-vid It’s for her casual Friday series 2-15.
Dear Andrew I hope your tongue was not wrinkled too much by pronouncing "Danish Nattroejer" - nightblouses say (naattroyar)- maybe you know about Vivian Hoexbroe, who recently wrote a wonderful technique book about the subject - think it is out in english by now or it is coming soon. I can find out if you want me to. Yes yes I am danish.
We put in a lot of time to make sure all the contact details and other detailed information about our guests is available on our Website which we show you at the beginning of each episode. Please take a little time to go to the website Fruityknitting.com to look up the details.
Couldn't help at mark 0:08:47 thinking of the parents Mic and Pamela (3-steaks Pam) playacting in bed ... prince Charles and Camilla: "Camilla....I want you....."
Please stop "signing off" with "we have to say goodbye until 2 weeks" and then just keep going to another new segment. It would be easy to shoot a goodbye segment (just zoom in a bit closer and it will cut) and edit it in at the very end. PS - Love your music, and the music credits you list online.
