I can hear Andrea & Paola talk about their mission for Myak all day. So glad you were able to showcase them and their story and the lovely fiber. Much success to them.

Andrew finally finished his vest. Great job. I also like the orange Tegna

[@gingerporter1473]

That footage was incredible.

[@lupepedraza8497]

Andrea and Andrew, i was so happy seeing this episodio that where the Tíbet section that i was hiperventilating with excitement ! Wow!

mYak is a company that has all the values that I so strongly believe in. Thank you for bringing this company to my attention. Again great questions.

[@mYakTibetanFibers]

sandra childs thank you so so much !!

[@pamelarivera5058]

Wow! Amazing podcast. Andrea you ask excellent questions!

[@marybradley9201]

Thank you for a very interesting chat.Love the music.

[@TheLifeofTMT]

I knew that was Another Brick in the Wall from the first few bars!!!! That was awesome! Andrea you are doing some fantastic video and editing work.

[@ginab188]

I agree! So good.

[@tanyabarker4406]

What an interesting interview in this edition. MYac. Is a very modern and sustainable company and they have created a continuing society of nomads who may have disappeared into the wider Tibetan community.

[@stitcherscottage]

Loved, loved this episode. The Myak interview was spectacular and very informative. Thank you so much for putting this together.

[@FruityKnitting]

You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed it!

[@sueking6543]

What a fabulous episode all the way through. Thank you!

[@PatValenzano]

Congratulations Andrew...that is an absolutely beautiful vest...well done 👏🏻💥🥂

[@FruityKnitting]

Thanks, Pat. Very proud of myself!

[@angc3049]

Such a cool intro to your show today - I would say the best I’ve ever seen! Loved the extreme knitting and loved that version of the Pink Floyd song!

[@craftykimmer]

I absolutely loved the intro! So scenic and the choice of music was perfect. Andrew, your vest is stunning! Fun video guys!!

[@mabelgoddard5813]

Thank you for a wonderful episode! I can only imagine the time an effort in order to put this program together. Andrew congratulations on your vest is beautiful! Thank again👏👏💐💐

[@silviav760]

Como siempre, me encanta verlos, extraordinario podcast, un gran abrazo desde Buenos Aires Argenina

[@FruityKnitting]

Thank you Silvia

[@moskalmg]

Usually you guys have good camera work, but this is absolutely fantastic

[@jeanneklaver9307]

The Myak interview was amazing. Thank you so much for making us aware...

[@mYakTibetanFibers]

Jeanne Klaver thank you for watching !

[@diannebowles5605]

I really enjoyed this episode - Tibetan culture is fascinating and to see a product being produced that supports their traditional lifestyle is great to see Loved the filming at the start too! Keep up the great work Andrea and Andrew!

[@sunnyw4148]

Another amazing presentation. Will have to give knitting cables without a needle a try again. I find I don't get the right tension without a needle. My needle of choice for most projects is a sanded toothpick.

[@suecoxon3557]

Another very interesting episode, thank you.

[@joyharmon1110]

I love the natural colors of Myak. They are so restful on the eyes. I think it would feel really warm and relaxing to wear a garment made from this yarn. Thanks for the interview. I always enjoy interviews with couples. Seeing how couples work together as a team is so interesting.

[@susananderson6774]

Love that dog too! What breed is he? He’s great. Awsome scenery...for us in the USA....beautiful!

[@angelasprecco4246]

❤️ well done Andrew! I aspire to knit as good as you 😍

[@marieahlin3890]

Thank you for this amazing episode. 🤓

[@FruityKnitting]

Thanks, Marie.

[@jacquelinepirotta]

wow! your intro video was terrific!!!

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Excellent podcast!

[@FruityKnitting]

Thanks, Loretta.

[@sandrap-ski523]

Love the content. I always learn something new. The drone footage was amazing. Never thought I'd be hearing Pink Floyd on FruityKnitting. Thanks!From a patron.

[@muhlenstedt]

I love knittingwith yak and love the final product because it is so warm and does not pill.Definitively I will buy it from Myak instead making the stablished big yarn companies richer.Thank you for this wonderful insight in the life of the nomads.

[@MaryAnnPastene]

Another great show. I really enjoy this video podcast.

[@FruityKnitting]

Thanks, Mary Ann.

[@gailmendonza6078]

Great episode Andrea and Andrew, really enjoyed your interview with Paola and Andrea of @myak yarns. I met Paola in NY and bought a lot of their beautiful yarns. It really is wonderful to knit with and after blocking feels like cashmere. I keep wanting to knit everything in @myak yarn.

[@mYakTibetanFibers]

Thank you Gail you are a true supporter! Big hugs !

[@juliaconnolly2908]

Well done Andrew! You look great in your vest. I love your orange jacket too Andrea. Can’t wait to see Jack and Andrew in matching vests :-)

[@FruityKnitting]

Thanks, Julia. Andrea is looking into the design for the vest for Jackie. I'm keen on preserving the stitches that are already done (-;

[@jamesstauffer4924]

Thanks for another amazing podcast. Myak was fascinating, so was Andrew's vest. Andrew has been motivating me to knit more from watching him progress over the past year. Consequently, I just ordered Melanie Berg's Drachenfels kit from Craftsy in a black, white, and charcoal colorway. Keep up the brilliance you two.

[@jeannesabido3038]

Congratulations! Great job on the vest. 🍾🥂🍾🥃

[@FruityKnitting]

Thanks, Jeanne! Waiting for some cooler weather now!

[@addistubbs]

SO enjoyable. Thanks so much!!

[@debzamot5291]

Excellent show! Thank you, as always

[@joyharmon1110]

Kay Hopkins lives in Oregon, it's not a warm climate. However, Oregon does have four seasons and it's nice to see a designer's work who doesn't stop knitting during the warmer months.

[@sunrhyze]

We do get winter but west of the Cascades it's quite mild. When I first moved up here I was wondering why I was seeing so many Canadian geese hanging out in the winter and thinking "aren't they supposed to fly south?" And then I suddenly realized that for those geese Oregon is South. For me another lesson in "everything is relative." :)

[@pauladylan5388]

i love your podcast so much!!

[@joyharmon1110]

Now that's some extreme knitting!

[@gogabola]

Great Podbast. May I ask what you are wearing (i.e. pattern and wool) in the beginning of this video? Looks really nice.

[@kitkauffman4391]

I'm catching up on previous episodes. I always enjoy them! Thank you for your great content and creativity ~ Can anyone tell me the name of the pattern that is shown at 31:15.

[@sunshinesilverarrow5292]

Thank you for a great episode, just love your choice of music..as always! 😘 Hugs & sunshine 🌞 N Ps. Wishing you all a beautiful midsummers ! 🍓🌻🐞

[@Originallyadressmaker]

Interesting.....I also cable without a cable needle but I slip and twist my stitches before knitting any of them, they all end up back on the left needle ready to knit.

[@suelindsay5723]

Love the podcast, as always. What is the pattern for your top Andrea, it is delightful.

[@hekeseme]

Hi..although I have just subscribed to your channel recently, you have become my favourite podcast! Many thanks for your hard work and commitment to the knitting community. I have a quick patron question....I live in Canada and am wondering what currency the monthly amounts are in...,to do so in any other currency but Canadian dollars means each month I would be charged an exchange fee and an admin fee. Please advise.

[@FruityKnitting]

Hi. Patreon does work in USD, so that is correct. Thanks for your interest. A + A.

[@robyn3349]

Thank you!

[@joyharmon1110]

I can't get over how healthy the people look! I know they probably made themselves pretty for the pictures, but the skin just glows. I wish I had skin like that.

[@mYakTibetanFibers]

Joy Harmon I guess they just naturally glow as all the photos were taken without telling them in advance and are all very candid shot...

[@FruityKnitting]

They are beautiful photos. It really gives me the impression that they are very content people.

[@sobat7402]

Very nice episode! I tried to get to your shownotes but the link put me through but then it said, that it did not exist. Your vest is very well made!

[@FruityKnitting]

Fixed the link to the Program Notes. Thanks for letting us know, Milda.

[@marywicks9334]

Another interesting episode. Andrea, I’m fascinated to see how close you keep your stitches to the end of the needles. I guess it makes for faster knitting. Have you always knitted like that? Do you ever lose stitches?

[@FruityKnitting]

Hi Mary, no I don't usually lose stitches. While I'm knitting my other fingers tend to hold the fabric under neath a bit to move the stitches forward, this also stops them coming off.

[@joyharmon1110]

I like the cable w/o cable needle.

[@gigivh9178]

First time here. Like this channel...Can you please, tell me the name of the vest pattern? thank you.

[@kitkauffman4391]

In case you never got it, the name is Whelk, by Martin Storey.

[@missjenny1953]

That music is amazing

[@bgcyclist]

FYI: I rode my age 67 in miles (not kilometers) but may do it next year in kilometers.

[@FruityKnitting]

Bravo, Cindy! I thought it might have been miles. That's a good distance!

[@peggylatham4686]

I do not always have access to iTunes to watch podcasts so I have paid for iTunes red. Now I can download your podcast to have available without WiFi. I wish you would put it on KZbin. Then I could become a patron and end my iTunes red subscription

[@donnadecourcy7332]

Peggy Latham I watch all the podcasts on You Tube.

[@Kat-ky4mf]

I’m order my Myak beautiful yard.

[@tinakercher8768]

Haha! Clever opening music!

[@Norfolk250]

0:00:46 - at the end of the trail is the head of a bearded man 0:01:27 & 0:01:47 - behind the wall is a giant green piggy (errrrg, could be a hippopotamus) 0:03:14 - “What are those things coming out of her nose?!” 0:04:24 - Andrew: “Thanks. You know...you don’t look so hot yourself!!”

[@ИринаИванчук-х9б]

Excellent 😀🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

[@nazltutkukalfa3261]

Your knittings are so beautiful but drinking is harmful for your health. Have a healthy and knitty life.

[@FruityKnitting]

We agree! I actually realized that we almost only drink on the show - might be giving the wrong impression. Thanks for watching. A + A

[@christinaheesakacowden-wut3809]

This is what I could never get my mind around: How can people have a symbiotic relationship and love for their animals and then butcher them and eat them???? This is not exeptable and not excusable!!! It a form of self mutalation. When you kill the beeings you love and then justify it by using the words "tradition". Tradition is not always good. Traditions started somewhere, often out of circumstances not desirable. Human beeings shouldn`t live in regions where they can n ot grow food for them to eat and sustain their life!!! They should`ve moved on generations ago and find a better region. Their sweaters and clothes are wonderful though. This is why I watch ..... I focus on the craftsmenship of the textiles, but forgive me, when every now and then I have to speak out for the animals, because they don`t have their own voice.

[@marybradley9201]

Acceptable
