Marled Knitting - Cecelia Campochiaro - Ep. 106 - Fruity Knitting Podcast

[@tamitng]

I love Andrew’s segments of the analytical and technical aspects of any given subject. His excitement in relaying information shows his passion to teach and is a great addition to the podcast. 🍀

[@FruityKnitting]

Thanks, Tami. We're still figuring that out a little, so it's good to hear that you're enjoying it. Cheers, A + A.

[@FrancienDanielsWebb]

Tami Gami well said, I love history, how names and words are created, the designers amazing creations. Andrea and Andrew and Fruity Knitting fans can introduce you to Whotknot a crafty podcast by an Aussie Queensland lady who is an incomplete quad, due to a car accident. She is your fan too. I would love to see her being interviewed as she is very inspirational. I am sure there must be a lot more amazing people who create beautiful projects and have a disAbility. I crocheted 5 huge throws while I was going through chemotherapy and radiation treatments in 2016 and 2017 where I used three strands at a time and I would dc crochet 3 rows in one colour say dark blue then the 4 th row would see me drop one strand and change that for a lighter blue then after 3 rows I would drop a second of the first colour strand and add another lighter blue until I would then crochet 3 rows of the lighter blue. I went from dark blue and added 4 more shades of blue then I would continue to complete the throws with the colour I began with or from say red and finish with dark blue with 5 colours being used throughout the throws. When I had one of those throws on my bed in hospital the staff including doctors and nurses were inspired to go back crocheting and creating something like my throws. So I was creating marle without knowing I was doing it. My granson wanted the blue one so we went to the yarn store and being on the autistic spectrum he had do lay the wool down in the floor to design his bed cover he loves so much. He knew what he wanted but needed to see it physically. He was 11 then, Keep up the great work and I absolutely live Extreme Knitting and Jack.

[@LilyFranceJoliHouse]

Thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of this wonderful podcast! A fabulous episode as usual, I'm honoured to have been involved. Have a wonderful (and well deserved) break!

[@amymikelson3060]

Lily I loved your interview, you are darling and love your designs! Can't wait to see what you come up with in the future.

[@Woeschhuesli]

If your designs when you were 12 are anything to go by, you're in the right job! :)

[@barbarabertsch3924]

Lily France loved your designs....have gone into Ravelry and put them on my wish list! You have a wonderful talent!

[@megcarr3126]

Andrew and Andrea, I just want to say a huge thank you, for producing the show, I am already a Patron. I don't think that anyone wants to to burn out, as much as I love the show you should both be making sure that you have at least 4 weeks a year holiday, and that's a proper stand down, away from work, not including yarn shows as that. I believe that we are all thinking about sustainability at this time, working like this just isn't. I love you guys and I want you to be happy doing this, otherwise what is the point! Sending you loads of love and ordering you to take regular holidays! 😘🤗

[@catherinemelnyk]

I love the way you combine all your passions in your podcasts. Love of knitting, other textiles, family, travel and music. Yet it all works seamlessly which shows your attention to detail. Thanks so much. We all miss Andrew so very much.

[@angelafalalala]

Loving Andrew’s contributions lately. You two are the best!

[@FruityKnitting]

Thanks, Angela. Really good to hear that you're enjoying the little extra bits!

[@ninacouser3024]

I agree! Loved Andrew's additional info

[@Norfolk250]

Off topic, but innnnnteresting: As a fan, I decided to go back to the first episode and started working forward to present. I watch the newest ones as they air, but I then return to where I’ve left off. Surprisingly, I must be one of very few who has done this, as a count discrepancy appears between the number of subscribers being more than 10,000 compared to the view count of earlier episodes....as if there are fans of the show, yet they don’t watch it! HA!! The thing most noteworthy about THIS podcast, is that the preliminary, secondary, and tertiary broadcasts actuallay ARE as interesting and valid as the latest ones! The first episode separate from the above, this video podcast has maintained its focus throughout its entire run. ***** that is one of the strangest of things in podcasting, as I haven’t seen it with any of the others. So, in the end, I recommend to fans who haven’t yet, to go back and start binging from episode 1.

[@pattysartin9638]

Agree ! 😍

[@deboraharnold8587]

I did that too. Such great episodes.

[@dianam4778]

I did that too. I loved seeing Andrea say that she can’t really crochet, knowing that Future Andrea would make that amazing blanket!

[@23Cinni]

I’m also a fan who discovered Fruity Knitting a year or so ago and binge watched all the earlier shows. It’s a fantastic body of work, endlessly educational and enjoyable on so many levels. Happy to be a contributing patron!

[@sueaitkin8030]

Andrew’s explanation of color was so interesting, adding the color purple line just took it over the top! Thanks so much! Love your podcast.

[@stavroulak.503]

I like all parts of the program, but I particularly love those bits and pieces of history or technical info from Andrew! Of course I like a lot all the knitting advice from Andrea and the interviews and all the rest but please keep on with this history/physics/chemistry/etc lessons. Thanks a lot. I wish you will keep up with what you do and I hope you also enjoy it. Sorry, I almost forgot to mention how amazing the music is!!!

[@stitchingoverthedays3932]

As always, this was such a great episode! It was super exciting to see Lily Kate France. I've been such a huge fan of her work for so long. (I actually still have my copy of that Vogue Knitting magazine that published her pattern when she was a teenager.) Also, thanks for the mention of my crochet garment by Lisa Richardson. Finally, your sweater is looking absolutely beautiful! Jennifer Beale's designs are quite fascinating. Keep doing what you do! Much love, Constance.

[@FruityKnitting]

Thank you Constance xx

[@123lauraj1]

We will miss you in two weeks, but as my mum always told me, you cannot look after others, if you don't look after yourself first. I think it fits in this case. We want you both healthy and happy. Another great episode. I love the marled effect. I just finished a toddler sweater in a marled yarn (I didn't do it myself) and now I am keen to make my own marled items. Thank you for taking us to Strasbourg. How have I never been there? The architecture is absolutely breathtaking. On my bucket list now for our next trip to Europe. Enjoy your time off.

[@julieduke7279]

What an utterly absorbing episode. Loved every second of it.

[@alysonrodrigues7986]

Enjoy a well deserved break guys. Your shows are FIRST CLASS MATERIAL. You need a production team that includes an editor and photographer. Andrew I think you rock, your segments are so interesting, filled with lovely tidbits of information. Andrea you’re awesome.

[@FruityKnitting]

Thank you Alyson!!

[@louisewilson6768]

Enjoy your break, you deserve it. Just love the show so much. Loving Andrews segments and the more sciencey bit too.

[@sy2.083]

I bought lace yarn about 10 years ago and used very few of them, loved the colors, loved the “sale”! Unfortunately, before this video I had no idea for using them besides holding them together with a more traditional weight yarn! So, I hope 1000s of ppl see ur video and start to understand the delicious option of marling! Btw, I’m gonna buy lots more lace yarn! Your guest is a phenomenal wealth of information, not just for marling but for color choices as well! Thank you so very very much and the yarn weighting information was eye opening! Ty ty ty!

[@anniefalconer-gronow6335]

I always enjoy your shows as and when I get the chance to watch them. So many exciting and inspirational guests. I've been inspired a few times to join a KAL, and was super surprised to see my crocheted blanket on this show (I had entered it into your CAL), thank you. Your KALs and CAL always have such creative entries, I love looking at them on the Ravelry forum. Your show and guests obviously inspire a lot of people. X

[@FruityKnitting]

Thanks, Annie, both for your kind comments and for taking part in our CALs and KALs! We are always impressed by the projects that viewers put in - there is a lot of creativity and talent out there! Cheers, A + A.

[@gracemorrice475]

Andrew and Andrea, have a great holiday. I look forward to seeing you in September.

[@Jessesmom12]

Please don’t feel the need to apologize for a break. Rest and recharge. Thank you for your efforts. Everything is lovely that you present. ❤️💐

[@barbarabertsch3924]

Oh my goodness! Your channel appeared on my recommenced list on my KZbin! I’ve never enjoyed....thoroughly enjoyed a podcast as I have this one....the color segments were inspirational...I so love history and Andrew’s segment was like going on a little adventure...a field trip! 😊. Loved Lily’s designs and have already been on Ravelry adding them to my wish list and the music was delightful! This was the most delightful and entertaining show I’ve ever seen, and I mean that with all sincerity! I taught myself how to knit when I was 20 and that was 56 yrs ago😊! Love fiber and color! Thank you so much...you guys do a great job! Happy vacation!❤️

[@helenthompson9211]

Thank you so much for another fantastic episode. Have a lovely, relaxing break. Helen x

[@Nina5484]

I need the travel series more than ever now! Thank you for doing that and showing those wonderful city scenes.

[@firesidefairytale]

Absorbing, intelligent, articulate and with proper music - what more could one wish for!

[@NanZingrone]

Love love the quality of the show which is why I'm a Patron and thing taking a holiday is great idea. We love you guys! And I can go back and watch a couple of old ones over again. :-)

[@kukumrocks]

I am a patron and am sooo glad to hear that you can finally take a holiday. Your program far surpasses others out there. Thank you for the creative, energetic, organized and professional way you put out Fruity Knitting

[@laurelrobbins8673]

I can’t wait to try marls! I was going through my stash in my head as I watched this. Thank you, Cecilia!

[@helga5723]

Both interviews with Cacalia are so much help when you just want to give some structure or colour in your garment. Thank you! 👍

[@christinem8383]

I hope you both have a WONDERFUL time off. You have earned it for sure. My husband and I love watching. It has been hot in our part of rural, Western N.Y., but we have central air conditioning in our house. Tonight we watched on our porch with lovely breezes coming through the windows with a riotous chorus of crickets as background noise

[@gailkendall9328]

Thanks for another impressive episode. I especially enjoyed the segment on Jennifer Beal's complex sweater. The color combo is exquisite, as is your beautiful knitting, Andrea. Happy vac. Much deserved.

[@catherinebuttrick5678]

Enjoy your vacation. You really deserve it and please don’t apologize. Loved your show as always, and the tour of Strasbourg was fantastic. The cobblestones! The wisteria, the cathedral. No skyscrapers. So lovely.

[@mk9531]

Andrew does the best demonstrations!

[@bonniefranz6385]

Wow!! I actually started jumping up and down when you included my Frieda’s Flowers in your CAL round up! I enjoy your episodes so much, it was like getting a shout out from a favorite celebrity! Also, my family is from Kork (long ago) so it was so interesting to see Strasbourg, in their global ‘neighborhood’. Thanks as ever for the inspiration, the information, and armchair travel. Enjoy your break and stay cool!

[@leahball4784]

Love your shows! Glad you are taking time off for self-care, it is very important!

[@nancysaid9193]

This is a brilliant episode. So full and interesting, as always with Andrew's contributions adding extra educational info. Love seeing Strasbourg and all the historical background. Very inspiring to me. Definitely take a holiday, don't burn out Andrea. Your shows are so intense I think we could all wait four weeks (or more) on a regular basis. Consider it to give yourselves time to enjoy your lives in the same vision as you offer to us. Thanks for all your hard work. Nina x

[@adelahorakova5341]

Hello Andrew and Andrea, please, don't let yourselves burn out, take a vacation every now with no guilty conscience! You are putting out so much great content that it is difficult to digest and take full advantage of after just one watching! I feel so inspired after each new episode, and it is because of your show I am now contemplating buying a used knitting machine! I would like to encourage everyone to become a patron. With the number of subscribers if everyone or nearly everyone contributed just a meagre 1Euro, what a difference it would make! Love from the Czech Republic!

[@andreawilson2251]

I am so glad to hear that you are both practicing self care and taking this well-deserved break. As usual, this was a wonderful episode, packed full of inspiration and beauty. Take care of yourselves, have *fun*, and we will be so happy to see you when you are back! xx

[@loria.02139]

Thank you, Andrew and Andrea. Another great podcast with really interesting guest knitters. Great explanation about the color wheel. Loved seeing Strasbourg and hearing about the history. Rest, rejuvenate and enjoy your well deserved holiday!

[@FruityKnitting]

Thanks, Lori.

[@elissamcgahren8473]

The only knitting podcast that I actually stop my knitting to watch your tours! I love you guys. 😍

[@karenbiron5531]

I have been watching since I started knitting a couple of years back in Stuttgart! Enjoy your vacation it is much deserved. Your trip to Strasbourg brought back wonderful memories as I would go there sometimes twice a month. Love the history, the people and the food. 2 of my favorite restaurants are there!! Happy vacation and thank you for you!

[@susieashton-davies]

So Love being a Patreon. Have a wonderful holiday and relax. This will give me an opportunity to catchup on some missed episodes..xxx

[@FruityKnitting]

Thank you for your support, Lori!

[@janefellores7181]

Andrea and Andrew, this is another excellent episode. I learned so much from Cecelia’s interview. Thank you for Andrew’s talk about the color spectrum, and thank you too for showing Strasbourg. A few years ago we drove from Karlsruhe to Strasbourg and enjoyed our visit there. Have a great holiday.❤️. P.S. I love your complicated new sweater and the color is great on you. I can hardly wait for Andrew to finish that beautiful green sweater for you. Another beautiful color on you.

[@AccrochezVosAiguilles]

My husband stoped what he was doing twice to have a peek at the podcast while I was watching it (color theory and Vauban, perfect for a French engineer). If you continue this way, someday he might sit on the couch with me and start knitting while we watch Fruity Knitting Podcast! Enjoy your vacation! Take good care of each other!

[@FruityKnitting]

We accept the challenge. Greetings to the French engineer! A + A.

[@FruOlsenstickar]

Hi Andrew & Andrea! 👋☺️ I kind of agree about the suggestion to have the interviews perhaps once every third episode, to keep them more exclusive, and give you the time for you to produce them in a more relaxed tempo. I don't want you to get burned out from something that should bring you energy and positive time! ❤️ I honestly like watching you two chatting and knitting more, than an interview with someone I never heard of.... 😇 I love your podcast and want you to be well, so please take care and think of something you can change to give yourself some air in the system! Hugs! 🧡💚❤️

[@deboraharnold8587]

I agree! My favourite is you both talking about your knitting, your yarn, yourselves. 😄

[@hal7ter]

I enjoy the chat but appreciate that I can fast forward to the interviews when I want to see something specific. I love the music and scenery as well!

[@brendasolanki8424]

Wow Andrew! Thank you so much for this wonderful explanation of colour. This actually makes more sense to me than the colour wheel. What beautiful, creative crochet projects. I love your visits to so many places that I will probably never get to see. That cathedral was incredible! Lili's "flutter sleeve of mohair is enchanting and as beautiful as the lace sleeve Andrew's working on, although perhaps an easier knit. I hope you have a wonderful, relaxing holiday doing the things you enjoy. It's a good opportunity for many of us to go back and binge watch all 105 episodes! There is so much to learn, re-learn and practice that you've shown over the years. HUgs!

[@FruityKnitting]

Thank you Brenda

[@lsdev4229]

No need to apologize for taking a vacation. Everyone needs one to re- energize your creative mojo. Enjoy your time off and looking forward to your return.😍

[@lorengaffin4469]

Please enjoy your vacation! It is well deserved. I didn’t know it took so long to produce a segment. Thanks for taking the time to make sure we enjoy them. I started marling yarns with Stephen West a few years ago.

[@FruityKnitting]

Thank you, Loren.

[@nancyjohnson6211]

Thank you so much for the interesting and entertaining information about so many different topics Andrew! And the combination of beautiful European scenery and sites with the music you choose is such a delight Andrea! (Especially during this time of travel restrictions for so many of us. ) You are both a winning combination! And of course the knitting..... I really look forward to your episodes. Thank you so much!

[@tonisweeney4174]

Another great show and thank you so much for showing my crochet projects! You made my day! 😊

[@keikoparker4532]

Andrew, I really enjoy the history and descriptions you provide. Great episode.

[@FruityKnitting]

Thank you, Keiko.

[@janetjroberson2581]

WOW! You have done an amazing job knitting your sweater and it fits you perfectly. The color is beautiful on you. I wish that I could knit half as good as you.

[@BeeBee123ist]

We definitely don’t want you to burn out xo. Fruity Knitting is the highlight of my KZbin viewing, so take time to feed your soul ❤️

[@elsgoossens2605]

Another great episode - thank you! I wanted to say Andrea that the jumper you’re making looks so good on you!

[@FruityKnitting]

Thank you, I'm really enjoying it.

[@charlottehjgrav-huusskjold3317]

I simply love your show and look forward to it all the time. Please do not burn out! Take you time off. You are worth waiting for.

[@christinebrown6154]

Thank you for your latest episode, I have been a patreon for some time now & have to say its money well spent. Supporting you to produce such an all round great podcast makes me happy. Have a well earned rest .

[@FruityKnitting]

Thank you for your support and your encouragement, Christine!

[@heathersavage3722]

Great episode. Enjoy your break! 🧶

[@fairydustbunnies]

Thank you! How interesting! I had to stop knitting when you were talking about color and light, just so I could adsorb what you were saying. You always put out amazing videos and this one was just as amazing! LOVED IT!

[@CarolB2500]

Thank you Andrea, for sharing your journey through L’Anse-au-Loup. I made this as a test knit for Jennifer and didn’t realize all that I had done because I was so busy working and analyzing the pattern! Now I really appreciate my sweater much more! I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine, come cooler weather!

[@FrancienDanielsWebb]

Carol B what colours did you knit, I am really interested in this method. I knitted a red dolman jumper in the 70’s but I lust knitted two flat pieces and no colour work of course but I loved my red jumper knitted with Parton’s Totem wool a favourite in Australia for at least 70 years and is still knitted with.

[@CarolB2500]

Hi Francien, my colors are similar to Andrea’s colors. Coral as the main color and cinnamon for the contrast. Here is a link to my Ravelry page. www.ravelry.com/projects/WoolcraftByCarol/lanse-au-loup Thank you for asking. I would like to see your red dolman too.

[@loiszygowiec1552]

Another fabulous program. Thank you for the high standards you reach every time, and for taking us along on your trips. For those of us not allowed to travel (from the US) this is especially therapeutic :)! Enjoy a well deserved break so you can come back rested and recharged!

[@suecoxon3557]

Another fabulous and interesting episode. Enjoy your well deserved holiday.

[@vindeljay]

Love the colour story and the history lesson. Love the fun marled knitting can bring, will definitely be trying that.

[@nailealarge7527]

This episode was so full of wonderful information! You two deserve a solid vacation! Don't like comments, don't respond to mail. Don't worry, your viewers will all be here waiting for you when you get back. We need you both well rested so you can keep coming up with wonderful content!

[@AB-nv2tm]

Your choices of beautiful music is what first attracted me to you lovely podcast. Kudos for keeping up this precious tradition. It is the kind of music I knit to.

[@estherrubin867]

Cecelia is so inspiring. My mind is filled with marling ideas using my stash! Thanks so much for this episode. All the guests were lovely and I enjoyed Andrew’s sharing about the spectrum of color and the line of purple. Fascinating!!! So much to process now.

[@Lamara5292]

I have enjoyed every episode to date. Take time for yourselves, you deserve it.

[@bodilknits]

Thanks for another great show! I allways find the knitting content both interresting and inspiring, but I also really enjoy learning new things from Andrew, and seeing new places. Enjoy your vacation, you deserve it! And stay safe

[@trininanci]

I loved seeing Cecilia's marls and can't wait to try something out. I will definitely be trying some micro swatches - such a good idea. Have a wonderful and restful holiday and get those batteries recharged. Stay well and stay safe. Love from Trinidad.

[@BeverlySampson]

Such a scrumptilicious episode this is. Please have a restful, fulfilling holiday. We can’t have you not having as much fun as we have! There’s enough here to dine on for weeks. So grateful that I somehow fell into the Fruity Knitting world of wonderful.💕🍷

[@gnat127]

I LOVED all the color theory. Thanks for sharing your research, Andrew! It was fascinating.

[@karincarter235]

Another great and very interesting episode! So much cool information on colors and the history on Strasbourg! And it is such a delight to listen to Cecilia and see her remarkable ideas and designs. Ahhhh... I have a tiny stash, but I will for sure look to make something marled! I wish you a great vacation, enjoy some out-time and recuperate! Everybody needs time off, - be safe and stay healthy!

[@jeanetteparkes3651]

Enjoyed your break will see you both four weeks time👍🏾

[@deboraharnold8587]

I’m so glad you’re taking a proper break! Have a good rest and enjoy the time off. ❤️

[@janetjroberson2581]

Hello from Mounds Illinois. I aways love your knitting both of you do awesome work I especially like how you change and alter the designs and make the patterns unique. Great work.

[@jamiepenfold3182]

This discussion of colour is timely. I'm taking art lessons and exploring watercolour and pastels. Part of the instruction involves making colour wheels with each medium while learning blending techniques. Mind blown!😄

[@pollyfoofoo8703]

I hope you are having a lovely break. Well-deserved! Thank you, as always, for all your hard work.

[@FruityKnitting]

Thanks, Polly.

[@StormsEnd1604]

Enjoy your well deserved break! I was fascinated by your episode that detailed how you put the show together. It is obviously a HUGE amount of work and you do it well and continue to put out a top notch show every time. I will anxiously await your return!

[@FruityKnitting]

Thanks, Alison.

[@Micalanne]

Excellent episode again. Take care of yourselves! It will be very exciting when your next episode comes out!

That sounds like a good clan to have around! Thanks for watching, Suzanne.

[@juliaconnolly641]

Another great show, thanks. I enjoy the non knitting content that Andrew adds to the mix. It is interesting and well presented. Enjoy your break, which will do you both good. See you in four weeks. Julia x

Thanks Julia

Thank you so much for this interesting show, and enjoy your very deserved real holiday!

[@glynismarsh4532]

I do enjoy your podcasts and have been a patron since the beginning. We don’t want you to get burnt out with it however and I would suggest finding a way to make it less intense for yourselves. I have seen others comment and I agree that you could produce interviews less frequently or allow more time between podcasts to give yourselves a bit of a break. I enjoy your sofa segments with just the two of you as much as anything. You wouldn’t lose me as a patron.

[@thewalnutwoodworker6136]

Hi, I have some thoughts about this show... 1. I love it, it is so awesome and the production quality is amazing. 2. My point is that your working on it Full time 7 days a week for two weeks, that’s over a month between you two. Even though I love the interviews I just think maybe you should do do one like every month or two. This is a knitting podcast so maybe spend more of your time knitting then just in the evenings. My favorite part of the show is you both, for me the interviews are just a awesome extra. You spend so much time on this and I think you need a brake. this is just a suggestion, I love this show and I want it to be more sustainable for you all. Edit: that sweater is amazing!

[@thewalnutwoodworker6136]

Roxanne Richardson interview?

[@thewalnutwoodworker6136]

I am glad your taking a brake

[@pasaru2585]

Эндрю, Андреа, спасибо за очередной выпуск. Как всегда - супер! Интересно, информативно.

[@FruityKnitting]

Спасибо!

[@louiseheerschap4580]

I was mildly surprised as I began watching to find you were presenting marled knitting. You see I was at that time reworking a sweater I had knit years ago using six strands of varied weight yarn (black, dark gray, brown, beige, light gray and a multi-cream/brown). The six strands add up to a worsted weight. I am a machine knitter as well and so my stash has many thin yarns and I have mixed yarns for years, not always in such bland combinations. Always enjoy your presentation.

[@louiseheerschap4580]

Oh, and as for color... remember it’s only yarn😉

[@kdunlap3289]

We had a knitting group at our local library and made hats n scarves for charity Christmas. People donated yarn to the library from deceased relatives garages or from "clear outs". Some were thin threads on large spools maybe lace maybe for knitting machines who knows. Most couldn't see it being used for hats or scarves, but I put it together w/various sport weight yarns.Didn't matter the stranger the color combinations the prettier they turned out. Alas the group has disbanded, the core group has scattered to different nations.

[@nessakennedy7864]

Beautiful sweater Andrea xx

[@sunnyw4148]

Glad you are taking time off. You are more than Fruity Knitting. You did not talk about what you are knitting next. I hope it is something far less complicated than you usually knit with few modifications. Something simple and elegant to not distract you on your vacation. Stay sane if possible, these are difficult times.

[@annebuckley-reen3921]

Enjoy your time away. Rest up, we will knit, watch your old shows and look forward to your return.

[@jsorensens2]

Another outstanding show in every respect. Speaking of respect, I have a great amount of it for you two and the quality content you put out every 2 weeks ! As a forever Patron of yours I encourage you to change the frequency of your broadcasts to every 3 weeks. Enjoy your vacation. Here’s your challenge: don’t talk business while vacationing!!! 🍷*clink*

[@FruityKnitting]

Thank you Jane!

[@lynetteruest480]

Yes I agree - either shorten the videos length or go to every three weeks - great idea!!

[@tcalvert9411]

Lovely vibrant episode as always. So professionally done and full of diverse and interesting content. Well worth subscribing, so come on.people show them some love and sign up! 💕

[@jay_cadiramen]

Andrew's colour wheel explanation... wow, blew my mind! So interesting and so clever.

[@kathleenkaar6557]

Cant wait for vid of steeking. This construction is fascinating, but I have to say that seeing it will be clearer than listening to it 🤪. Thanks for the details, might give it a try after watching you...

[@normasmith9596]

A great podcast. Love it all
