Nancy Marchant - Tuck Stitches & Brioche Lace - Ep. 92 - Fruity Knitting Podcast

[@PlekontasGr]

I admire Nancy Marchant, she is one of the kindest people I have ever seen in knitting world. Ιt does a great job!

[@nicolejosan6364]

I promised to myself to binge watch your show, but I got distracted. Whenever I come across one of your show's episodes, it makes me happy just listening to the music and seeing you. I wish you all the best. Your cardigan looks so regal! I LOVE the multicolored buttons on the jacket you wear while interviewing Nancy Marchant. The Jacket is so classic, and those buttons give it a light, feminine and fun touch.

[@gulbudak6042]

I am waaaay behind your episodes just tryin to catching up. Once again it was a fully packed episode. Thank you ❤

[@susiecollins6956]

Fantastic video, Andrea. Just love Kristin & Nancy and also, seeing Andrew again.

[@heatherrobinson2175]

Just got the Millpost Merino newsletter and you will be happy to know they and their property are all safe - lots of smoke haze and still drought but no actual threat from bushfires so all good for them!

[@dwaynephoenix4947]

@Henry Kendall i really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and Im trying it out atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@dwaynephoenix4947]

@Henry Kendall it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my ass!

[@henrykendall6294]

@Dwayne Phoenix Glad I could help xD

[@musikkfamilien]

Facinating to learn about all these stitches of brioch and tugs. Thank you! Must watch it again!😅 Love from Norway😊❤️🇳🇴

[@pasaru2585]

Эндрю, Андреа, как поднимают настроение ваши эпизоды! Андреа, жакет шикарный! Как музыкант, тщательно работающий над аппликатурой,фразами, техникой, так же кропотливо и творчески Вы подходите к созданию вязаных шедевров. Какая прекрасная природа Уэльса: строгая, сдержанная. Эндрю прав: даже не верится, что где-то жара и печет солнце.И это прекрасно, что такой разный наш мир! Спасибо вам за то, что рассказываете об этом.Спасибо за шикарную музыку Баха, Грига. Это эстетический пир.

[@FruityKnitting]

You are most welcome, we are always glad to hear when the music choices are also appreciated.

[@hanneburmoelle]

So nice to see and hear the Queen og brioche Nancy Marchant talk about brioche. All the beautiful pattern, she has evented. This year, I want to learn to knit brioche❤😃🇩🇰

[@julielaw7825]

I love your show. I just found you and started with your first episode. Imagine my surprise to see a great knitter from where I live! So exciting! I have been so inspired by everything in your podcast. Love Kristan Drysdale. I have become a patreon. I am so proud to be one of your subscribers. My prayers are for Andrew and your family every day.

[@onavinkeviciene1303]

Wonderful podcast !!!! I LOVE Yours Podcasts!!! All!!! I am knitting 56 years ... You gave to me stunning knowledge and new Friends from whole World .... and You help to me improve my English language... knitting English language too. I love You so much. All the best from Ona Irena Vink

[@amcclellan509]

Beautiful episode. From the knitting to the scenery to the music. Loved every minute!

[@Bobbieliz]

So glad that you are going to Vogue Knitting...you are so good at bringing the moment to us, so this will be a treat to feel like we are there. Have fun!

[@KKnits]

When Nancy held up the last tuck stitch sample I thought how cute for a little toddler jacket of kimono. It would be so cosy for cold climates. Now I want both books!p, and no birthday until autumn. I think both books would be a real treasure to own!

[@brittarnhildsverden]

Another lovely and informative episode. Andrew, I loved the way you played with your filming in the end :-)

[@Lamara5292]

Wow episode 92, I have enjoyed every episode. Binge watching in June 2019, that's when I came across you on KZbin, with a broken arm I absorbed each episode until I caught up. I love the guests and tutorials you have provided us with. I too hope the guests you had from Australia are all safe along with their flocks.

[@pialindeg]

Me too

[@TomsCraftingCorner]

Hello from Oklahoma City! I just wanted to say, I just adore you both, thank you so much for your wonderful interviews. Your show is one of my absolute favorites. 😊😊😊

[@amyahdocq8835]

Looks soooo much to the Vancouver Island west coast... as wet and as beautiful!!!!!

[@shannonnotestine1562]

Love the podcast. Andrew, I know quite a few people (men and women alike) who would love to have hips in a size small, myself included. Wonderful podcast with stunning scenery and knitting. Hope you and your families are safe and in good health.

[@lynnesmith6827]

Yippee!! Just what I need, a new Fruity Knitting episode! I love how you adapted your Morningstar Bridal Jacket pattern to make it your own; very clever! So glad you had such a wonderful holiday; you both look well rested! Welcome home! 🥰

[@indigobyles5017]

Wow Andrea and Andrew inspirational as always....

[@teriadams7398]

Wonderful changes in the Morning Star jacket. It looks wonderful on you. Andrew always looks dapper in his jumpers. Our prayers for Australia here in Colorado. Prayers 🙏

[@FaerieFenergles]

Such a delightful podcast! I have taken 3 months to grasp the Brioche technique 🤪 and I finally nailed it ... and, I might add, am totally hooked on it! (there was an awful lot of impolite words uttered in the process lol). I would dearly love to use the charts from Nancy's book but I have dodgy eyes and find them too pale ... any chance of anyone publishing her charts in a bold font for the visually challenged?

[@janefellores7181]

Andrea and Andrew, thank you again for another amazing episode. Your sweater is beautiful! Great interviews!

[@glynismarsh4532]

What a surprise to see your film clip of the Ugly House! It was a landmark for our family back in the 1950’s when as children we made the long and (then) arduous journey from the Isle of Wight to see my Welsh relatives. When we saw it we would always call out “the ugly house” and it always meant we were in Wales finally and well on our way to Anglesey. I am so intrigued by Brioche but never have done it and I may try to find the little Leisure Arts instruction books as an intro. Also glad to hear that the cheaper yarns work well and would make good practice materials.

[@FruityKnitting]

What a lovely story about the Ugly House! Thanks for sharing it.

[@kiwijenniferknits]

Another wonderful episode! I love it all and you two are so adorable! Yes Andrew, you are broad shouldered! I particularly enjoyed your extreme knitting - I can't imagine walking in all those slippery spots - and the music (throughout your show) is glorious! The Irish Moss sweater is going to be a beauty! Thank you!

[@margaritadeverson2098]

I am attending VKL for the first time this year. Seeing you would be such a treat!!!! I have knit a couple of projects only to be disappointed at how quickly they start to pill. I appreciate the extra care and attention that’s put into making higher quality yarns that resist pilling. What are some other brands you have used that do not pill easily?

[@concettorametta9005]

Yay! Lisa Rametta , Patron here - I’m thrilled to hear you’ll be attending VKL in NYC this year :) I’m even more excited to be taking A two part brioche class with Nancy on Friday after viewing this segment :)) I’m not sure when your last trip into NYC was .. It’s a much cleaner and safer city in most areas than many years ago . The area where Vogue is held is fabulous ! I come in by commuter train -Grand Central Station ( safe and beautiful ) taxi stands outside of each exit . I hope you’ll enjoy our city . This is my 10th year attending . Its an amazing experience full of friendly happy Knitters . Let me know if you have any questions etc - it would be an honor !

[@FruityKnitting]

Thank you for your welcoming message.

[@bodilknits]

Great showI I hope you had a nice holiday, the footage was beautiful. I really loved your jacket Andrea, and how you made your adjustments! Andrews new sweater looks great! I am Norwegian, and I really loved the designs by Kristin, I think I have to make Solveigs jacket, so beautiful! The brioche and tuck stitches looks really advanced to make, but I guess starting small is a good aproach. The situation in Australia is heart wrenching, I really hope they get the fires under control soon. Have a nice trip to New York! :)

[@pamelamckenzie2685]

Stunning work i love the music as well.

[@ToothFairyPurls]

Thank you for another lovely episode. Your finished jacket is stunning. I had a laugh at the bit at the end with the cat :-)

[@carolrabich275]

So much enjoyed this and every Podcast! I had taken a class from Craftsy with Nancy Marchant Briochde knitting and purchased her book. The Brioche Lace is beautiful, now I need to Dive into that!

[@heatherruiz9490]

Beautiful work on the bridal jacket and love your modifications!! Andrew your socks look well made and so cushy!! Happy new year to you both!

[@FruityKnitting]

thank you Heather

[@CamilaGomes-hb8xg]

I am always so envious that you can actually wear all these beautiful patterns... Brazil has only one month cold weather, and that's not even close to your cold weather, as we have like 6°C and that's not enough to wear most of the sweaters out there... Have to focus in cotton and lace for us lololol thanks a lot for bringing us some beauty and love in our weeks, these patterns are amazing. And your cardigan looks just super cute... I would add snaps to one side though so then you don't have to worry about it slipping to the sides... Just wondering about it

[@raggmopp857]

Same here. I'm living in Mexico now and only need a very light wrap for evenings. Doing more crochet than knitting because there seem to be more summer patterns for crochet. I do like the way knit garments hold their shape and yet have stretch. With crochet, the fabric is more firm.

[@joanneyoung1081]

love your version of the wedding jacket. looks comfortable and interesting design.

[@jeannetomlinson3055]

Hi, Yes, I love Nancy Marchand's little tuck stitch jacket! And while she says she will not write the pattern, it it not unlike a jacket and stitch pattern written by Jean Frost in her first book of jackets. And great job on the Morningstar jacket!

[@patiespenlaub6143]

I’m so jealous that you’re probably already in New York for VKL! Do the subway knitting swarm with Kristy Glass and please take lots of pictures. Haven’t ever been and probably won’t ever unless some miracle happens and I can move around without pain again. Nancy Marchand did a section on tuck stitches in KnitStars 2 in 2017. It’s a great resource. Thanks again for a great episode and for all you do!!!

[@kdgeckoknits274]

Andrea! So beautiful. I love seeing you reach for the knitting stars, making challenging garments. Brava! I sent a message to Millpost (I bought their yarn after your episode), and never heard back from them. I, too, hope they are safe.

[@magdar5028]

I just LOVE that bridal jacket! And, of course, the episode as well!

[@joanwootton9388]

Another wonderful show! Loved it. I think I will try Kristen’s slipper patterns to help me use up some of my stash. Guess what everyone is getting for Christmas next year.

[@beepbopboop3221]

Schoolhouse doesnt have the brioche lace book anymore. Did it go out of print?

[@carolclaibornemumey8919]

Oh I miss seeing Andrew! Among many other great aspects of his character that came across in your show, he was a wonderful counterpoint to the gentrification of knitting and the gatekeeping (neither applies to your show) which typify so much about the knitting world today. I love how he always seemed to remember the pragmatic, rather humble roots of knitting...of the people for the people and all that.😥 To be clear gentrification is not all bad, and gatekeeping can keep "the standard" up!

[@robyn3349]

Thank you!

[@brendasolanki8424]

What a great treat on this rainy, icy day in Canada. Wish we could share some of the wet with Australia! So heartbreaking. I hope you'll be able to give us good news in future episodes about the folks you know there. Your modifications to the Morningstar Bridal jacket are stunning. They may have occurred because of "errors" but the result is lovely. Thank you for the lovely walk in Wales. A question popped into my head when I saw how wet it was...what do you think about leg warmers/pants protectors/boot toppers? Thank you also for the visits with scandiwork and Nancy Marchand. Both made we want to rush off and cast on something new and challenging but I'm going to stick with the three sweaters I currently have on the go. Until next time.

[@cmaur811]

Love Nancy...still can’t knit brioche.Hope to meet up at Vogue .

[@satsumamoon]

The problem with this show is the patterns you knit are so lovely but when I go to buy the pattern or the kits, its not what I fell in love with. You always make such wonderful improvements to them. I love the morning star as you made it.

[@jenniferkeating3989]

Question: does anyone know where to find the clasps used for the featured Morning Star Bridal Jacket?

[@ОльгаСавченко-в3э]

Tell me, please, R (rel p-release purl) in Knitting Brioche Lace patternes is a double yo (yarn over)?

[@andreageller4804]

Awwww. 13:20... Andrew made me laugh out loud!

[@yettaoshea8869]

Andrea, You could sew some snaps at the top of the inside panel to make it easier to remove.

[@satsumamoon]

Does morning star come with the clasps or do they need to be sourced and bought separately?

[@satsumamoon]

Ah, I see they need to be got seperately

[@suegairns7647]

I have been thinking about you and your family through this Australian tragedy. Truly hoping all is well. Where I live in Canada, British Columbia, we are plagued by wildfires more and more each year. We, too, spent some time with "the worst air quality" and it is not fun. I hope your family remains safe. It's very stressful.

[@FruityKnitting]

Thank you Sue for thinking of us and other Australians during this really hard time.

[@araven231]

The jacket is absolutely beautiful

[@NinaKeilin]

Are you really going to VKL? I live in NYC and I've never gone, but I'm going this year. Hope to see you there and act like a silly fan.

[@brendasolanki8424]

Sounds like a lovely plan Nina.

[@lauriekimmelstiel2976]

You'll be so glad you decided to go this year. It's a knitter's dream!

[@missnicolette33]

Merci! Thank you! 🧶

[@mimikaolin3693]

Finaly finished 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 heep heep heep hoora for Andrea!!!

[@vindeljay]

Oh wow, I'm inspired and terrified. I can't imagine being that good at Brioche, I did some two colour hats for my grandchildren for Christmas and thought I was going mad, ripping back so often and getting confused, what an amazing lady. I love your finished bridal Jacket, it looks amazing.

[@ishratk5139]

I loved the segment you'd done on Mill Post Merino in a previous podcast. I hope they are all ok.

[@mairiamdebron1084]

wow thos tuck stitches!!! I've immediately ordered Nancy's book!

[@flossyann410]

I loved the episode and did watch the Nancy Marchant part twice. I wanted to ask does Jack understand German and English or do you only talk to him in one of them.

[@FruityKnitting]

We speak to him in English, except for the instruction "Platz" - which means "get to your _place_". (I think he speaks German with his friends, but I can't be sure...)

[@kimmumbower6111]

I received a newsletter today from Millpost Merinos. They are OK for now -- from their newsletter: "We are fortunate to have not been directly threatened by the bushfire crisis so far, but the summer is far from over with little relief in the forecast."

[@darlynnedevenny5985]

Do you have your days and times for Vogue Live now? Could you please post them here?

[@FruityKnitting]

We are available to chat on Sunday! Would love to see you there, Darlynne!

[@dafadowndilly8919]

Great episode. Thank you. Personally I would not do stocking stitch straight after a block of tuck stitches as tuck stitch fabric is so much wider than stocking stitch for the same amount of stitches.

[@donnabeaton4707]

I have a book called Dimensional Tuck Knitting by Tracy purtscher. There are many tuck stitches designs in this book.

[@UCHeyn]

Wow! Thank you for another wonderful episode!!! I am always overwhelmed when I see such stunning projects, because I am only a basic knitter. May I ask you, what is a "tuck stitch" in german? Hebemasche? Thanks!!! 🙋‍♀️❤😚😚

[@UCHeyn]

Now I have found a translation: tuck stitches = Fangmaschen/Fangmuster.

[@kdgeckoknits274]

LOL - Jack biting at the icy ground! Love that Jack.

[@annaholmnygaard8357]

Fanøstrikkefestival 🥳🥳🥳looking forward to say hej. It is a wonderful island and festival 🧶🧶🧶

[@lauriekimmelstiel2976]

Love, love, love your podcast. Professional in every way. Thank you for creating a superb platform to decimate knowledge and beautiful designs to knitters around the world. Your Bridal jacket, Andrea, is a work of art and I love the full front panel. I’m wondering if it can be secured somewhere near the bottom of the sweater to keep it from moving under the jacket. Thrilled to hear that you’ll be gracing our shores at Vogue Knitting Live this coming weekend. Hope to spot you there to personally meet or better yet, hope you’ll stop by and visit us at Clinton Hill Cashmere Co on the 6th floor booths 808/810.

[@jennieweston6767]

Yarn snobbery. Confession: without unlimited money, I am guilty. I have several high end yarns I am eager to purchase if only one skein just to try. However, I know the quality of some acrylics and blends is quite good. My biggest concern with them is environmental although the production of any fibre is open to question on that score. Sadly the entire fibre and textile industry is one of the most polluting industries on the planet, but none so much as the production of acrylic.

[@GinaShillitani]

[@jessicavanderbloomer24]

The cable sweater is really beautiful I wonder if it could be made to make a blanket with the cable pattern

[@FruityKnitting]

I'm sure it could

[@pineyflatspatsy]

What an inspiration y’all are...time for me to move on from Teddy Bears and Bunny Rabbits...from Baby stuff to Wedding Jackets (Oh my!)

[@TheSuzberry]

KZbin has added ads to this video. Were you aware?

[@FruityKnitting]

Hi Suzanne. Some of the music that we use is copyright. We are able to use this music on KZbin because KZbin places ads and the revenue from the ads goes to the musicians. We know that the ads are distracting, but the music is important to us and it reasonable that the musicians are compensated.

[@TheSuzberry]

Fruity Knitting . Thanks. Was surprised to see them. You are so kind to respond - and so quickly, too.

[@jacquelineslavich9594]

But how did Jack get across the water?!!!

[@FruityKnitting]

Walked across. He made a big fuss because it was moving water, but it wasn't deep. He would happily have wandered into the main river, he's been in there before. We actually have to stop him doing that because he will get too cold, but he loves swimming.

[@vindeljay]

I'm a little disappointed, I tried to get these books, but the exercise has been confusing. Brioche Lace has already sold out with Stephen and Penelope so I wasn't able to work out the total cost with postage to Australia. With schoolhouse press the postage to Australia is $55 US which brings my cost to Aus even with the discount to aprox $165 Aus.. So I went onto Amazon US the total cost there without the discount is $113 Aus. I have sent Schoolhouse press an email for more info re the postage cost. This isn't a complaint, just information, I was wanting to give it a go and am just not sure what to do because of the cost.

[@jozefeen]

Maybe try a LYS? I picked up a copy a couple of months ago at the The Yarn Bowl in Brisbane for $60. She is out of stock at the moment but may be able to get more. Hope you can find it, it's a great book.

[@vindeljay]

@@jozefeen What is LYS, ?

[@jozefeen]

Jenny Vindin It’s a Local Yarn Store. Are there any near you?

[@vindeljay]

@@jozefeen Thanks, I think the pricing is fairly compatible for us in Aus. I managed to get both books from Amazon for a total of $113 with postage, so less than $60 each.

[@vindeljay]

@@jozefeen Oh thats funny, I just figured that out. No, the nearest yarn store fo me is an hour and a half away, which I went to today for yarn, didn't have them.

[@jamiepenfold3182]

Interesting content, but tuck stitches were not so well-described for the uninitiated: I had to go to another source to understand the term and technique so I could view the rest of the interview in proper context.

[@kimberlypenney7216]

I am seeing a lot of advertisements so I hope that is adding to your income if it’s not I would just as well skip those advertisements. can you please let us know whether there’s a benefit to watching them I am a patron but I can support you through watching the advertisements as well

[@FruityKnitting]

Hi Kimberly. The revenue from the advertisements goes to the producers of the music that we use. We figure that is a fair price to pay for the beautiful music. Thank you for supporting us as a Patron - that is how we are able to produce the show. A + A.
