[@pallavijayeshmody6524]

The brioche/ double knitting tutorial is explained so well❤. Thank you Andrea

[@marilynglele7735]

I love rewatching all your podcast and seeing you two together. Sending you a lot of love

[@pstcali7152]

Andrea and Andrew, thank you for a wonderful podcast. I look forward to it every two weeks. Looking forward to the next one. ❤️🇨🇴

[@shebear9251]

Oh, I have enjoyed watching you tremendously in this episode. I do love all of your episodes, but I simply want tell you how full and satisfied I feel after watching your shows. It is like with a good meal on a well prepared table in wonderful company and just enough wine for the evening. Thank you so much for making the effort, the both of you. You are a set of lovely people (and your daughter is, too, of course!) Being a patreon is an honour.

[@FruityKnitting]

Thanks for your lovely comments, and for your support that helps us keep the show going! A + A.

[@suzannedickinson2847]

Best demonstration and explanation of brioche and double knitting ever!!!! Thank you so so much!!!!!!❤️

[@valeriafaber3415]

Great episode, I just love this "slicing/splitting" of all the information and moods gathered during SWW... it just keeps me more and more tangled with this culture. Thanks, really a toughtful planning. Hugs

[@FruityKnitting]

Thanks, Valeria. There was so much to bring back! A + A.

[@marty9011]

Your kofta looks great Andrea, lovely colours. Very enjoyable episode.

[@nauridkashpiasenjuti]

I eagerly wait for each new episodes and love and treasure every moments of it. Fruity Knitting Podcast is the first ever podcast that I subscribed and view regularly. I actually thought what's the point of watching hours of podcast about someone's finished objects and WIPs and being jealous of not been able to do anything. But your podcasts have changed my views and made me realize that it means lot more than just showing off what you're making but inspiring you to learn and try something new. Being a newbie to knitting, I've learned a lot about knitting variations, introduced to famous knitting gurus and convinced myself to knit for my loved ones. I especially enjoy knitting for my 11 months old daughter and hope to knit as much as you knit for your daughter. You're my inspiration. Thank you so much for such noble efforts you guys are putting to inspire others and making them believe in themselves.

[@susanprice6363]

Fabulous episode Andrea and Andrew. I am in awe of Marie's designs. If only I could manage one of these! I struggle to knit at the moment as my hands are very tingly, how on earth does she (or anyone) knit for such long periods. I will probably buy the book just to drool over.

[@godylief]

Every time I am amazed by the variety you put into your podcast. Thank you so much I had a wonderful afternoon.

[@johannafreeburn3061]

andrew and andrea, enjoying your 'knitting' video's, but am very pleased to see sewing and weaving sections. i know i'm very early in the seriers (caught a midway episode and decided to start at the beginning), so, re' sewing knitted or woven fabrics.....PLEASE see daryl lancaster, u tube as 'the weaver sews'. daryl is an absolute wealth of knowledge and such an endearing character. plan on being a patron if i get back to work, currently off with severe osteoarthritis, that's why i started weaving and discovered daryl. love to you and yours. ❤(daryl will take you down the rabbithole of astounding possibilities)

[@hollynoscar3534]

love everything Shetland.... would love to learn more with Andy Ross from 'Global Yell. Love the historic section of the Shetland tweed... and esp love the little blooper reel at the end.... you're both so cute together... Andrew, you are a gem.

[@tracycharalambous5223]

Hi love your podcast & amazed at how quickly you finish such beautiful garments. The show is inspirational & entertaining. Tip for your sewing Andrea if you cut pattern pieces that can stretch out of shape like on the bias try stay stitching your pieces before you see them together. i.e. sew a line of stitching on each piece within the hem allowance. Many thanks for the podcast. 😁

[@bettystine8724]

I think you did a great job on the purple skirt. Cutting on the bias and matching everything up is NOT easy. Love your podcast.

[@vivienneshen8189]

I love the interviews you've been doing. Such thoughtful questions! Nice tutorial on the difference between brioche and double knitting. However, you should be twisting the colors together at the beginning of the rows where the row starts with double knitting. Showing the pocket it great for demonstration, but if this were complete double knitting fabric, you'd have two pieces of knitting that fell away from each other.

[@kathleenadams9025]

Vivienne Shen the sockmatician has a good video on how to make sure the edges are closed..

[@bernadetteburgoyne8238]

I love watching you two, please keep adding outtakes, I'm really enjoying them. xx

[@kathleenkaar6557]

Andrea, I am learning so much through your very professional podcasts. Just to name one- I have always been careful to read patterns prior to embarking on my knitting, but basically to be sure I understood all the stitches employed. Your thorough descriptions of pattern construction have taught me to understand the construction and break down the pattern by things like you mention “here’s a column of cable, next to it a section of twisted stitches and then a section of lace”. I think this is going to help me take on more complex patterns. I also love your attention to finishing details, and like Natasja Hornsby mentioned in your interview with her, I will now pay much more attention to those details which truly make the difference in the overall appearance of the garment. Thank you so much!

[@catherinefox7832]

Loving this program, sooooooo good , this is the best knitting program online

[@EvieBear236]

I love your podcast. It is very well structured and professionally done. The projects are not within my scope of expertise but I still find inspiration to try to learn some new techniques.

[@janestorer6610]

Adding a narrow strip of fusible stabilizer (interfacing) along the stitching line for the zipper will improve most zipper installations as well as making the sewing much easier. Invisible zippers look neater and often are easier to insert by machine than regular lapped zippers. Not sure which type you used. Very interesting podcast; professional and well done. Thanks.

[@shirleyhunt1896]

Absolutely amazing! I’m a beginner knitter but I’m so inspired now to try a Marie Wallins design! Thank you for a wonderful episode! I’m going to watch it all over again xx

[@gillianlay8963]

I so look forward to receiving a new podcast notification from the fruity knitter! So much work and thoughtful insight goes into your shows. This one was extra special for me with Marie Wallin and the fair isle focus. I've just started colour work knitting this past year and am quickly getting hooked! One of these years I will make it to Shetland! Was also lovely to see Madeline's adventures in Australia. She is a beautiful young woman, you must both be so proud! Love the skirt Andrea and fingers crossed the zipper works out for you!

[@yettaoshea8869]

I sew. I took a class from a professional British seamstress when I was young and chose to make a wool a-line skirt with an uneven plaid with a matching solid wool blazer. Was looking to get the most education out of my time. We got the plaid seams on the skirt to match. I will pass on a few things I learned: Matching seams- the easiest way to match plaid seams is to cut your first pattern piece. Then layout the next cutting of that pattern piece with the first fabric piece still attached. You can then move the piece around on your uncut fabric until the patterns on the cut and Uncut piece match. When your seams match up pin the fabric and cut piece down onto uncut fabric. cut being careful not to ruin the piece you already cut. For unlike pattern pieces (ex: sleeve to a body) you can pin and cut one piece. Do not unpin after cutting. Position this combined cut and pinned piece and the paper piece that attaches to it together so that the seams match up. Use crayons or colored pencils to color the plaid pattern onto a central portion of the seam of the paper pattern you need to cut next. Use this colored part on the paper pattern to position the pattern piece on your fabric so the plaid matches. On most uneven plaids you need to pick what part of the plaid you want to match because you will not get it all to work. Pick a dominant stripe. The reason your blue stripes matched at first but then slowly didn’t most likely has to do with stretching the bias fabric as you sew. You get inadvertent stretching with how you handle feeding your fabric. If you tend to pull too much at the back you get stretch. You did a better job not pulling the fabric on the orange stripe side. You can also get stretching just from the mechanics of how feed dogs work. Top and bottom dogs don’t always feed at same speeds depending upon the fabric and your presser foot tension. To get rid of that use an even feed foot or if you don’t have one try adjusting the presser foot tension. Use scrap to test. Hope this all makes sense! You did a great job!

[@FruityKnitting]

Thank you very much for the tips, they are very helpful.

[@helga5723]

I am reviewing all the episodes while knitting. I just knit "Chestnut" from Marie Wallin. From the book Shetland I have knitted Moussa and the hat twice. ❤

[@myblessedhope3]

I just got my copy last week from The Wooly Thistle! I absolutely adore ALL the patterns in the book. I am trying very hard to knit up some projects I have b E cause I really want to order my yarn and start in. This was a great podcast.

[@FruityKnitting]

Thanks, Sarah.

[@phoebeegray]

As always, such a treat that I look so foreword to, your show! Such an education, such eye candy and always..a good chuckle! You two make my day! thank you!!!

[@suzannedickinson2847]

The whole podcast was super informative and beautiful!!! Thank you again!!!🧡

[@helenpatterson178]

Yet another excellent programme. I attended Shetland Wool Week this year and signed up for the ‘The Shetland’ launch of Marie Wallin’s book. I’m planning on three of the designs for my Knitting projects in 2018!

[@prairiefirebird9902]

Wow! I have already watched this episode 3 times! Great episode! I just ordered the yarn for the Unst cardigan by MW and am very excited to start knitting.

[@robyn3349]

I am a beginning knitter, and now - oh my - I have goals!

[@fraulein40]

You guys! This is so awesome! I love it. I must recommence the knitting. I sense socks in my future.

[@FruityKnitting]

Hi there Laurie!!

[@juliaconnolly2908]

Thanks, that was fun and informative. Julia.

[@nessahux]

Lovely episode again! You could try reinforcing bias skirt fabric with twill tape in the selvage to stiffen fabric for the zipper to stitch it to. X

[@rachelberry1570]

Great podcast! Love it all and it was nice to see the weaving from Shetland - something else I do!

[@Norfolk250]

Normally, I love the dear sweet sole of Auto English Generated to trYYYYY to translate into ‘english’, but for this episode it was just a sad experience. For me. I will be buying that mitten book ... to give as a gift ....... after I go through it of course (heeheeeee). Thanks for this episode, folks! Another perfect deed.

[@benedictagray863]

I also live in Lillehammer, why haven’t I met Tori (probably because I work in a neighboring town)? It was nice to see her walking on Storgata (Main streeet).

[@BeeBee123ist]

When you cut on the bias, you need to run a loose stay-stitch inside and along the edge and pull on the back thread to ease the stripes back into its original place so you can match up the stripes and checks. I also used to sew Andrea, so the experience comes in handy. Also there's a danger of the seam becoming a bit shirred or puckered so the first stitch-up should also be a loose stitch so you can run your finger nails and fingers down the seam to ease out the puckering and then run a tighter stitch over or alongside the first seam stitch

[@Lamara5292]

A weaving retreat sounds delightful!

[@18daisydoll65]

Fabulous tutorial 💐🐑

[@seldaquelde]

Embroidery from SLovakia inspiration!!! That is hilarious, thank you :-) Not many times I hear mentioning my country :-D

[@isabelarnaud7128]

I love you guys!!!!!!!

[@nicolejosan6364]

@Andrea - I spotted an error in your right front piece and both sleeves. You didn't complete the pattern, so it's "squished". Did you notice at the time?

I like your tweed skirt..... I didn't know they made tweed fabric on Shetland! Very interesting.....

[@FruityKnitting]

Thank you, Sophie.

[@asbjrnpoulsen9205]

have you been in the knitting festival in faroe islands people come from the nordic countries

[@cottingtonmae]

i don't recall hearing when you discussed WHY you changed the math/wanted a different gauge on your cardigan? could you fill me in? it's one i really love and would like to knit some day! thanks!!!

[@FruityKnitting]

I talked about why I knitted it in a different gauge in episode 39.

[@kimberlypenney7216]

Some of the best swim instructors are in Australia. I’m kind of jealous as I’m self taught of of KZbin and swim one hr a day free style. I usually swim about 1.25 mi a day.

[@FruityKnitting]

Hi Kimberley, Andrew here. I started swimming again recently, but I'm slacking off right now. We have a beautiful pool here in Offenbach - called the Waldschwimmbad - so the Woods Swimming Pool. In summer it's outdoors, and we would sometimes have a family of ducks and ducklings swimming across the pool. (They put a "bubble" over it in winter.) 1.25 mi a day is good! I'm self-taught for freestyle too - despite growing up in Australia. But yes, we can all be jealous of our Madeleine right now.

[@karinberryman7970]

@@FruityKnitting Very few Australians get instructions in how to swim, we're just taught to dog-paddle first then imitate breast stroke first because you don't put your face in the water. Then when we've gained confidence we learn Freestyle (or the Australian Crawl). Back stroke is a fairly kind mode, you just keep it up till you've reached the end of the pool or run into someone. Swimming in the sea is very different from swimming in a pool by the way, you're subject to currents, waves etc.

I am so sad. He is wonderful.

[@ginnaricci4547]

Hello would you explain a little bit what is Shetland wool week, I live in California thank you.

[@FruityKnitting]

Hi Ginna. We talk a bit more about Shetland Wool Week in Episode 39 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXfUeKOahJt9bqc. You can find more in our program notes for that Episode: fruityknitting.com/2017/10/10/episode-39-shetland-wool-week/ It's a week-long festival in Shetland, with courses and exhibitions, all set in the beautiful Shetland islands.

[@sewmom17]

The reason your blue stripes match at the bottom but not the top is the curve. As far as the other side is concerned, it has to do with where the pattern fell. To match stripes and plaids perfectly, you cut it flat - no folds. You can mark your pattern to place the pieces so they match.

wait, okay, hold the phone: there's a way to do double knitting with slipping instead of literally knitting every-other-stitch with a different strand of yarn?????????????

[@concettorametta9005]

Lisa R happy to be your Patron. Andrea, try inserting the zipper by hand . A couture technique, but easily with your skill set. Molokai great and lots of control . I
