You inspire us too!❤ Lovely to see you both looking so well and knitting so many lovely knits as always. Stay well, Knit lots!

[@thefruitfulhands]

Thank you so much! Happy Knitting! 🧶

[@EileenK64]

Cute sweaters ladies!

[@kimplumer2122]

The baby boy romper would be so cute in a dark blue with bright yellow buttons. Love your podcast.

[@thefruitfulhands]

Yes it would!! 😍😍😍😍😍 May have to add that to my list!

[@marilynharlow8720]

❤Yaa!! I a Two at a time sock knitter there are so many advantages

[@skhoyt6024]

I enjoy watching you two! Katie, you look like you are feeling really good now. That pink cardi is so pretty!

[@thefruitfulhands]

Thank you! Yes, I’m feeling a lot better these days! ☺️☺️

[@deniseengel1451]

Thanks Diana and Kaity. I enjoy spending time with you. You both are very inspiring with all your knits.

[@thefruitfulhands]

Thank you for your kind words! ❤️

[@reginamay76]

Wonderful podcast. Those baby knits are the cutest.

[@thefruitfulhands]

Thank you! 😊

[@hollysweany4234]

I enjoy your podcasts so much!!!! ❤

[@thefruitfulhands]

I'm so glad! Thanks for watching!

[@jomeurer9444]

Love your podcast!!!!! You are wonderful inspirations! Love the baby knits, the beautiful cardigan with your great grandma’s buttons, love your FOs, your cast ons and dream knits! ❤

[@thefruitfulhands]

Thank you so much for joining us! ❤️❤️

[@ajborthwick7239]

I’ve been fixing my sabai as I’m watching you:). The armholes were just too low to live with. I also have been wanting to start the pi camisole- so cute!

[@thefruitfulhands]

Oh good for you! Those are both such beautiful tops! 😍

[@cwanlin128]

I truly love watching you two and seeing all of your knits. Kaity, your Umbria Top is adorable, and I think Yellow Brick Road will be beautiful on you! And, as for the baby knits--OMG!! Dianna, I made that Striped Tee with stash yarn and alternated three colors. I ran out, so mine is a bit short, and also kind of boxy. I have worn it as a vest with a long-sleeved tee underneath. I do like the pattern. I have been eying Knitting for Olive and Ruby and Roses yarn. I'm hoping to get some Knitting for Olive in Norway when I'm there this fall. JEMS is one of my favorites--I'm so glad you are knitting with their yak! I'm making the Eva Cardigan Junior by Petite Knits for my grandsons, and the shoulder construction is so different. I too had to search on Amazon for size 2.5 needles!! Interesting. Have a cool and safe 4th of July!

[@thefruitfulhands]

Thank you!! So excited for your trip to Norway!! That will be amazing!! I’ve been thinking about knitting the junior Eva cardigan for my daughter! ☺️

[@dorajohnson2809]

I made The Striped Tee last summer in Berroco Chai and I love mine! I just finished the Emmanuel Tee in Line and my stockinette blocked out beautifully after I put it thru the wash. 😊

[@thefruitfulhands]

I bet it’s lovely!! And thanks for sharing! It seems like summer yarns even out after blocking. ☺️

[@loriflaglor5686]

I saw the alert for this premier yesterday at 3:30. Having only really paid attention to the “4:00” part of the announcement, I hurriedly went to the bathroom and then got a cup of tea and sat down at 3:57 to wait. And wait. Only to realize several disappointing minutes later that I was 24 hours early. Then I missed it! Totally forgot. Ha! Just wasn’t meant to be. Regardless, I’m grateful to watch now! 😉 Thanks, lovely ladies!

[@thefruitfulhands]

So sad you missed the premiere!!! But I’m glad you got to catch it later!! ❤️☺️

[@24567423ify]

Love you two. I would strongly suggest the Tolsta Tank vest version in DK for a well-fitting tank that is not low under the arms. I knit mine in Yarn Bee Bamboo-tiful which is half cotton half bamboo. I can wear it out in 100 degrees and be just fine. 😀

[@thefruitfulhands]

Thank you for the suggestion! I think I actually have some of that yarn in my stash!! 😍😍

[@PamKnitsToo]

I just love watching a mother and daughter get along so well and enjoy knitting together. I’m totally envious. I love the pink cardigan. When is the baby due?? How will you podcast?

[@thefruitfulhands]

Thank you!! We enjoy it for sure!! Baby boy is due Mid August and we may take a break for a bit but definitely hope to continue podcasting!! ☺️

[@dorothyrainey1141]

I've had yarn sitting for 2 years waiting to be an April cardigan. I don't know what I'm waiting for?? I just cast on a Tolsta tee. Both of you knit beautifully.

[@thefruitfulhands]

Yes! I’ve been wanting to make an April cardigan for a few years! I figured this was a good time to start it, especially with the cozy yak yarn. 🧶☺️

[@Jess38]

❤

[@marcellewells7711]

Another lovely podcast ladies xx I have made the sabai 2 with the plain neck,out of Drops Belle and I loved it so much I’m on my second xx Diane did you ever finish your winters beach Cardigan I may have missed the episode, I’m currently on my third one of those xx Have a lovely week looking forward to the next one xx

[@thefruitfulhands]

Drops Belle is such a great yarn! Mom hasn’t finished her cardigan yet but as the weather changes she’ll pick it back up! ☺️ that looks like such a fun pattern!

[@aprilflowers6288]

Caity, if you have a sister or friend who is your(not pregnant) size, you can ask her to try your Umbria to get an idea of the fit. Of course you run the risk of having having to fight to get it off her!😂

[@thefruitfulhands]

That is such a good idea!! Thank you!! 😊

[@emmabutcher]

Kaity, did you do the tubular cast on for your cardi? Was it difficult? It's so cute on you

[@thefruitfulhands]

I did! It was a bit fiddly but got through it on the first try! Definitely needed my undivided attention. ☺️

[@karenlindgandrup]

What was that last top @45:09 ?

[@thefruitfulhands]

Just realized we didn’t ever say the name!! It’s the Queens Cami by Tori Yu! ☺️

[@lindapayne9474]

Beautiful projects as usual. I like that you both talk about the yarns. Finding the right yarn for me and for the pattern is still a challenge. I am happy for you to be able to monetize your podcasts but getting tired of the many political ads.

[@thefruitfulhands]

Yes! The yarn choice is so important! Oh no! So sorry about the ads! I will see if I can change the political content! Definitely not what you want to see while trying to chat knitting! ❤️

[@lindapayne9474]

I really don't mind the ads in general as most are content related.
