PEI Fiber Festival 2024 - Episode 148 - Fruity Knitting

[@HarmonyInspired]

Oh my, what a wonderful program! I was so touched by the music at the end, the glimpse of Andrew, and the parting drone shot of the lighthouse. And, Andrea....that hat!! You have the perfect complexion for that amazing color. I also really like the sweater you are making, and you are going to look wonderful in all that color. Thank you as always for a fantastic show.

[@lisaml7411]

That was one of my favorite of your productions! Beautiful combining of the festival, music, and interviews…. ❤

[@eleanorsmith3878]

Thank you for such a wonderful and informative show. Makes me want to visit Prince Edward Island. Will go on my bucket list. I remember Andrea when she was a young girl in Australia. Your dad told me about your channel. Well done.

[@doreenmaclauchlan6697]

Thank you for a wonderful visit to PEI and the fibre festival. Enjoyed every minute, even had to put my knitting down occasionally so as not to miss anything!

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

Thank you for this lovely vlog of the PEI Fibre Festival. I was smiling for the whole 90 minutes as I enjoyed all the different interviews. ❤😍

[@arctiknitter]

Same here!

[@lynntimmer1620]

Brilliant episode! I'm a regular Fleece & Harmony viewer, and Kim's steadfast work and enthusiasm for the fiber arts definitely coincides with yours. Thank you for showcasing a grand event and its creative community!

[@DonnaDeCourcy]

You really captured the atmosphere of the PEI Fibre Festival, Andrea and Madeleine. Your presentation was a highlight for me. I met two new friends at Fleece and Harmony the night before and we bonded over our love of Fruity Knitting. I see glimpses of Corynne and Jill in this episode which makes it even more special! I have to commend you, Andrea on what a delightful daughter you have. She is a credit to both of you. Not only did she spend time with all of us after your presentation, but she was genuinely interested in connecting with us, no matter the age gap. I urge anyone who is a regular watcher of Fruity Knitting to head over to Patreon. I consider your work to be like buying an excellent knitting magazine every month as a treat to myself. Your work needs to be supported so we can continue the quality interviews and the travel footage you bring us about twice a month. It is money well spent. All the best !

[@kathhollandful]

Madeline is such a poised and natural presenter. Should be on mainstream TV.

[@sisterstephanie2557]

I have thought many times that they should be on PBS (in the USA).

[@ronnadelavergne9217]

Just Madeline.

[@nz-nz]

Oh no! They’d corrupt her!!!!!

[@christinevalentine3373]

Another great episode. I enjoy the WIP’s which showcase your wonderful talents and the beautiful yarns you are using. I enjoy the whole show and one day, I hope to visit. Thank you.

[@CorynneOehmen]

What a great festival!!! Meeting you both was the biggest thrill!!! My neighbor Jill and I enjoyed your talk immensely. Thank you Kim and @fleeceand harmony and all the organizers and volunteers, you and your crew did all of us Maritimers proud with this wonderful event!

[@CatherineMelnyk-r8v]

Thanks so much for this womderful tribute to Canada's Maritimes! What a great video!

[@marylawson2551]

I had a GREAT time at the Fibre Fest and really enjoyed meeting you both! My sister and I from Illinois, USA brought our husbands for the week so we could attend the festival and had a wonderful time exploring the island, too. P.S. It was also fun to see ourselves in your video!

[@lsdev4229]

YEAH! So nice to see Kim and Fleesce and Harmony showcased on such a popular knitting videocast! Thank you Fruity knitting! I love the whole team at Fleece and Harmony. Tried to get to the 1st and 2nd PEI Fibre fest but Covid and Fiona happened and then Life has happened and couldnt make the last two years. I will get ther eventually! On my bucket list😂🥰Sharon.

[@1preciouswoman]

Another beautiful episode! Loved the interviews! I know that Andrew would be so proud of how your photography continues to blossom. You never fail to bring quality. And as I’ve always said since I began watching you-Thank you for helping me to see the world!

[@barbzimmerman4408]

One of my favourite episodes so far! Thank you for covering the PEI fibre festival with so much valuable information and joy! I felt like I was there myself. As a Canadian in Alberta I will definitely make the journey next year to attend .

[@msjennmakes]

I agree silk mohair can look so nice with shiny fabrics. That's why, for my friend's recent mountainside wedding, I knit a mohair sweater to perfectly match the silk dress I sewed! Then, with my leftover mohair, I knit a beaded lace cowl and matching mittens, and good thing too - because it wound up snowing quite heavily during the wedding! But I was perfectly warm in my matching set.

[@carolellenwood2922]

Omgosh, wish you would share photos of that!

[@janetforbes6902]

Great show ladies. Glad you enjoyed PEI. And congrats to Kim, Donna and their team. The festival was a huge success!

[@barbarabrinovecpribakovic3432]

Such a beautiful episode. It radiates the joy and love of the festival and the work you do in Fruity Knitting. I find Andrea's sweater wonderful!

[@lisanakao1043]

In truly enjoyed this episode. I would like to attend the next PEI festival, not just for the festival itself but also to enjoy the beauty of the island. Thank you ladies.

[@deniseengel1451]

Thanks Andrea and Madeline. The PEI Fiber Festival sounds like a great time. Very interesting interviews with some of the vendors.

[@leichterlernen]

Again a wonderful podcast. If found your podcasts a few month ago and now I am watching the episodes chronologically from the start and watch the new episodes when they come online. I appreciate all the valuable information that you share and I really love how you present so many different people and different sides of knitting and fiber arts.

[@olgoatlady3233]

Such an enjoyable and well done episode! Loved Emma Doucette's botanical fibres segment! And Andrea you look fetching in your new hat! Madeline you looked stunning in that beret! Sure hope you brought that home with you : )

[@nlturcott5168]

A fabulous update around the PEI Festival. So makes me want to be there. PEI is a special place all in it's own. Such an excellent event to invite more happy visitors. Glad you enjoyed yourselves.

[@Meredith36]

One of the best channels on KZbin! Happy knitting 💚🧶💚

[@azurra-]

What a beautiful episode! Loved everything about it: the under construction stories, the interviews, the scenes from the festival, and the landscape and music of PEI! Thank you!

[@barbbuteyn8800]

This was a wonderful episode. Three of my favorite podcasters on the same show. I learned about Fleece and Harmony from seeing them on your podcast years ago and have watched both your shows from the start. We visited PEI a few years ago and that was one of my must stops. Thank you for a beautiful informative episode.

[@harrietyarmill2873]

What a great video! As I sit here with my knitting on a Manitoba October evening, I am transported to beautiful PEI and savouring the Fibre Festival! Well done, thank you so much!

[@barbaraaltman4527]

What a fabulous episode! It has everything--travel, fascinating fiber people, exquisite works in progress. Your show keeps getting better and better!

[@nicolefields5917]

Thanks again for a beautiful view into another wonderful festival! My husband and I really would love to come in a year or two! he can golf, I can enjoy classes, and we both love Anne of Green Gables, so we will both be very happy!

[@jeaninegunn4118]

What a lovely memory of this wonderful festival! I attended for the second time and really enjoyed your breakfast talk. I hope to go again next year.

[@donnaconyers5189]

Thanks for taking the time to put this together.... a tremendous amount of work but so beautiful and very much appreciated.

[@daniellebissonnette3304]

This is an excellent episode. Andrea your Do Ewe Yoke is so gorgeous, the colours that you picked are perfect together. I wish I could have gone to PEI for the festival. Maybe next year. You should really move to Canada - lots of Extreme Knittng to be made here 😉

[@Knit2stitching]

Love everyone’s in progress knits as well as the ones your wearing. Two of my favorite knitting shows in one 😊

[@jeanettewalker4974]

"Smiling" was definately the theme of the PEI Fibre Festival! Everyone had such a great time. Met so many new fibre friends, enjoyed learning new skills from workshops and purchased beautiful yarn, garments and accessories. It was a real pleasure meeting Madelaine and Andrea...I hope there are plans to revisit the Maritimes again in the near future. Wonderful job interviewing and showcasing the local fibre, people and landscape. Thank you!

[@elaineenstone6834]

A superb episode combining 2 of my favourite video bloggers. Thank you. 🇬🇧

[@Bobbieliz]

I recently found the Fleece and Harmony KZbin so I am happy to see her here!

[@kelseashore6677]

Great episode! As a Canadian it was great to hear all the local to me info. I was really interested it what Sue Smith was saying before it cut to music though. I have a similar spinning wheel that needs repair and in that short glips it looked like she had the solution I need.

[@lindawilcox6617]

What a wonderful overview of the PEI Fiber Festival! I've been longing to go, and hopefully this will inspire my friends to finally join me in this adventure.

[@katehosford2657]

What a wonderful experience of the PEI Fibre Festival you have shared with all of us. It is breathtaking and beautiful!’Now I really want to go! And I just live in Maine US so I hope next year I will be able to! Your presentation was stunning and inspiring! 🧶♥️

[@kimjohnson9384]

The hat looks so lovely on Andrea! This is a great episode!

[@karendaley3184]

I loved this episode! I recently saw Kirk Dunn's play here in Ottawa and was so moved by it and by his art. I love PEI and you captured the warmth and beauty of that island. ❤

Such a lovely episode! PEI is on my bucket list and I hope one day to go to the fiber festival.

[@nikkijohnson2832]

I've taken a hiatis from knitting and drifted away from your channel after Andrew died. He would be so proud of the two of you!!! Madelene is beautiful in every handmade hat. Your channel is the most professional presenttion, even a travel log that is continued from the earlier travel days with Andrew. You've mastered the drone and filming and editing and total presentation. You are beautiful ladies inside and out -- so talented. I've missed you and am inspired to pick up my needles again soon! Thank you and warm wishes for your continued success!!

[@jayshreeshah6245]

Thank you so much🙏💚

[@davidhensley76]

Another beautiful episode

[@fionasteinbrecht60]

Nice video, I'm a TO knitter living in Munich , PEI is so pretty , now I'm homesick 😢 Thanks 😊

[@genevievebriand4617]

Thank you!! It was fun, educational and beautiful ❤

[@vivienneshen8189]

Andrea, I am totally with you regarding gauge for sweaters! I'm also forever adjusting patterns, unless it's a designer that doesn't think a loose gauge is more drapey (I think Stephanie Pearl-McPhee calls that type of fabric...droopy, lol). Also, Amy Herzog's book is great.

[@Cookies-i2f]

I'm so excited for this episode!

[@fazzybear3]

I loved learning about Botanical Fibres' natural use of materials to dye yarn!

[@Woeschhuesli]

Really hoping for an Elenor Mortensen interview sometime... A very happy episode and a great yarn event, by the look of it!
