I love that you assume your viewers are intelligent and want to learn new techniques. Your tutorials are terrific. Thanks.

I’m watching this in 2024 and watching Andrea and Andrew banter is so heartwarming. So much love. ❤

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!!

The ladder back technique you demonstrated is awesome, I love these techniques. You made it really easy and relatable, thank you so much ❤️🇦🇺

I too would like to thank you Andrea for your tutorial . I am currently working on a jumper where that method of catching floats would be perfect!

Never mind Andrew not having shared talking. This is such an incredible podcast. So much effort has gone into this. Ladder back demo is priceless.

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.

I love that Campton hat and when you flirt with each other! Warms my heart!

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!

OMG, the footage of the baby lambs is amazing! And kudos to you, Andrew, for taking the plunge and deciding to join the show full time!

I look forward to this podcast and always come away enriched and inspired. What a blessing you both are!

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.

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!

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. 💕

Just had to pause my viewing to say how much I enjoyed both the lambing section and the ladderback tutorial - what a wonderful technique, thank you!

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

Your hair is even more lovely than normal. I love your KZfaq channel. Thank you for producing such a quality show.

I purchased/downloaded Tokonatsu last week! What a small, happy world to see Bernice (Yamagara) on this week's Fruity Knitting!

Thank you for sharing that technique. It is sort of like double knitting only in those stitches.. Amazing.

Andrea - I've wanted to knit the Camden cap for quite some time and your additional tips makes all the difference!

Thank you, Andrea, that was a lovely and useful tutorial.

I loved seeing your interview with Beth Brown-Reinsel. I took a Gansey class with her many years ago, and I fondly remember the mini-sweater we knit!

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

Thank you for the tutorial, I learned a new way to knit today 😊

Wonderful as always! Thank you Andrea and Andrew for such diverse, interesting and informative content.

So beautiful summer garments from the land of erverlasting summer, thanks to Bernice! ❤

Can't wait to try out that ladderback technique. Thank you!

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!

Thank you guys, always a pleasure! 🌞

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.

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

congratulations on being able to work together on the podcast! so great that you guys can continue!

If I had 5 thumbs, this episode would get all of them raised up! Thanks for your hard work!!!

Thanks for the wonderful tutorial on mixing techniques on stranded knitting

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

Andrea your tutorial was so good. That ladder back technique is the best. I learned that from Ysolda. She uses that in her Threipmur sweater.

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.

Love this tutorial - and so well done. I did not know this technique - have never heard of it. Thank you both. You are a very inspiring person.

Amazing history! And another fabulous show. I'm heading over to the patreon page. :)

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.

Love that ladder back technique!

This was so much fun to watch!!!

I like Beth. She’s a good egg👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you, A & A❤️❤️

I lived and worked in Singapore 54 years ago, when air conditioning barely existed. I loved it.

Fabulous tutorial Andrea. And a fabulous show.

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.

This is the best tutorial!

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

WOW those gloves and mittens - I think a bit out of my league to create but they are gorgeous

Another great show...thanks loved the lambing...the two shepherdesses are really amazing..

Love the shepherd stories, keep them coming :-)

You r so good at teaching! Love it xxx

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!

I just loved this episode, thank you so much.

Thanks .love all your podcasts

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.

Such an enjoyable view!

Thank you both.

Thank you so much.

Another Wonderful Podcast!

Excellent tutorial. Many thanks!

Love your hat Andrea

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.

Thank you so much for the ladder stitch tutorial

Thank you! 🌸

I love the tiger sweater...... could someone tell me where to find the chart for this tiger... Thank you very much...

thank you for the amazing tutorial I always learn so much : )

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.

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

Another great show!

Great stuff as per usual, thanks

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 ?

Bernice was fantastic

Andrew and Andrea, cowl Andrew is knitting is very similar to a sweater project Roxanne Richardson is doing on her KZfaq It’s for her casual Friday series 2-15.

What products do you use in your hair? Always beautiful.

For the bind off on the hat could you have used a crochet hook for the third needle

Do you think Sammelsurium is ambitious for first sweater knit

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

The picture of the knitting looks like a painting.

Beth Brown-Reinsel is a treasure! Check out Beth's website and channel for loads of great resources! KZfaq: kzfaq.info Website: knittingtraditions.com/

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.

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....."

Wish you would put all the names of the people you have on

First time listening. Does Andrew talk too? How about some shared talking?

The gloves look lovely...❤️🇦🇺

*blushes*

It's a little jarring to see the two of you in sweaters. Today in North Carolina where I live the high temperature was 93°F, which I think is 34°C. 🌞

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.
