Veera Välimäki & Joji Locatelli - Ep. 49 - Fruity Knitting

[@jojilocat]

Thank you so much Andrea for all this hard work! We couldn't dream of being featured in a better way. It was so special to see the book presented in this format. We are forever grateful

[@ludouglas1]

Dear Joji and Veera, what a fabulous feature of you both and your work. It is very rewarding to watch makers articulate their work so well and yes, you DO have a good grasp of the English language and I love listening to you. The projects in the book are creative, aesthetically beautiful and I can't wait to get my copy. Love Lu in Australia

[@DrTietze]

Thank you so much both of you talking about your new book, it was pure joy!

[@mandyfisher4205]

Joji Locatelli aww! Love you Joji

[@ludouglas1]

You are just so clever, dear Andrea. Your ability to learn so much about yarn and its complications and twists and turns is amazing. The podcast never ceases to amaze and thrill me. The quality of it is second to none. Lu x

[@2011wildflowers]

Thank you so much for your "show"! It's very entertaining, educating and inspiring! Plus, what an extra bonus of seeing you guys interacting together as a family!! Not to mention the lovely 'intermission" music!! Well done!

[@valeriesmith15]

I always look forward to Fruity Knitting.

[@mixedandknot5911]

I loved this Podcast with Veera Valimaki (she was a pleasure to listen to) and my first time finding out about her designs. Joji Locatelli is one of my favorite designers ever. I just adore all of them. Grateful to you and Andrew for sharing them with us.

[@VeganMonkey122375]

This was such a beautiful and inspiring episode featuring my favorite designers. Thank you!

[@carolhobson1467]

More Scriabin ........I can't bear it........it's so beautiful. Another brilliant podcast so congrats to you both. I think I need to invest in Interpretations Volume 5. So many beautiful patterns, all of which I would love to knit. xxxx

[@suzannedickinson2847]

I look forward to each episode, thank you..🧡

[@FruityKnitting]

Thanks, Suzanne.

[@jolande52]

Wow! What a great podcast. So lovely to 'meet' Joji and Veera. They are definitely the top of the knitting world. Love their designs!

[@andreapgn]

This was my favorite episode ever , I think

[@livdriscoll3981]

Andrea PGN mine too :)

[@grittywinandy2356]

Thanks for this exciting episode with all these amazing people.What I appreciate above all is how lucky I am, sitting in my room in This tiny Luxembourg, knitting Stephen West's Dustland Mitts , preparing myself for the EYF, watching your lovely podcast and feeling connected to so many interesting people all over the world. See you soon, Andrea and Andrew

Amazing episode!! Love it! ❤️ I have to become a patreon....;) This episode made my day. Sincerely ... with all great knitting vibes from Nova Scotia Canada !

[@rachelraye285]

Andrea’s expression after the drink is truly funny. Happy Steeking! I have not worked up the nerve yet😜

[@SewOldFashioned]

It was absolutely fascinating to hear from the designers and the yarn dyers. Everyone has such a different approach to their creative work!

[@juliahempstead9237]

Thanks for showing your work, and sometimes little things that don't always work out "perfectly" in knitting, and how you improvise!! It's very encouraging.

[@margaretmontana122]

Every one of your podcasts is so very well done and filled with loads of information. I’m just catching up and will need a couple more weeks to see all up to date. I love meeting the designers who are interviewed. Each ne has so much to offer. Keep up the good work!

[@jsmultron]

What a treat! Joji, Veera and two of the Interpretation dyers in the same episode! Thank you! Thoroughly enjoyed it. It must be so nice for you to have Madeleine back home again. You really threw her in at the deep end, though. Steeking in her first episode back home. 😆

[@FruityKnitting]

Thank you. It is great having Madeleine back home after her big trip. The steeking was fine, but I think the whisky hit hard!

[@jsmultron]

😆 She still managed to cut straight lines, though. Impressive!

[@mereljewels]

It is such a great episode; so well done and researched! Congratulations!

[@FruityKnitting]

Thank you! And yes - lots of research!

[@sunshinesilverarrow5292]

Thank you all for a beautiful program! Wishing you both a lovely time in Edinburgh, with lots of fun. Hugs & sunshine 🌞 N

[@FruityKnitting]

Thank you!

[@rnchimilar]

What a lovely podcast. Thank you so much. BrambleKnits.

[@Dreamknitgirl-1]

I love steeking during the podcast!

[@FruityKnitting]

Hi Kim. We love the live steeking too. Living on the edge.

[@giselagraeser5109]

Wow I loved the podcast. Und von Offenbach meiner Heimat Stadt. Das hat mich am meisten gefreut. Ich lebe in USA und hab jetzt nach 60 Jahren meine Socken gestrickt die ich damals in der Beethoven Schule nicht fertig strickte. Viele Grüße

[@rhiannonorizaga8284]

The Samphrey pattern is absolutely beautiful. I think it would look beautiful on anybody and of course now I want it.

[@bernadetteburgoyne8238]

I'm aware of Coober Pedy through watching Outback Opal Hunters, which is a programme my daughter and I love to watch. xx

[@karinberryman7970]

Fascinating that each woman Joji, and Veera, they are both the closest countries to the opposite poles. Freezing climates, harsh environments, sparse communities etc.

[@FruityKnitting]

What an interesting observation!

[@barbarafortune9572]

Enjoy EYF next week. Say hello to my daughter Patrica Fortune. I enjoy watching all your podcast. Continued success and your tutorials are so helpful. I have loved and done my knitting for so many years, but thankfully continue to learn which is wonderful. So hello from Texas USA.

[@GraceTheBabbler]

Wow! What a brilliant episode! I loved the interviews and especially the little chat about the orphanage. If you don’t follow @windsongfarm on Instagram you should because she rescues wombats, kangaroos, birds EVERY LITTLE ANIMAL. She is my hero x

[@vonniejohnson9711]

another great episode.

[@FruityKnitting]

Thanks, Vonnie.

[@helga5723]

Samphrey is in my queue, the yarn already bought. I will try the shoulder shortrow-tree-needle-bind-of 👍

[@cmaur811]

Love all of you.

[@livdriscoll3981]

🍎🍏🍋🍐🍓🍍🍊 love every episode :)

[@Barbbfly]

Well done Enjoyable to watch Ty

[@BeeBee123ist]

It’s the same method used for gloves or half-finger gloves while making the fingers in Magic Loop method. To hide your wrap and turn, use Cat Bordhi’s method she demonstrates on her KZbin channel. Good job Andrea! You rock! And I enjoyed Jodi and Veera.

[@BeeBee123ist]

I think Madeline gets to have the most fun 😄, and I am glad they were able to save Dorothy. Maybe they should put road bumps on the highway, with a banner showing that there’s an upcoming bump. Kangaroos should not have to suffer for human shortcomings

[@karinberryman7970]

Kangaroos are everywhere in the countryside. It's impossible not to encounter them as you're driving along, and nobody wants to hit them, it's dangerous for the driver as well as the animal, but every driver can stop and check if the animal is still alive and whether it has young in it's pouch (unless you're a young woman on a lonely road at night).

[@karishmakhan2797]

What's the pattern name for the jumper Madeline has on? Its absolutely gorgeous. Looks great on her too. I checked your website for shownotes but no luck. Do let us know.

[@Dreamknitgirl-1]

Oh you guys are hilarious! I love a good scotch!

[@loonyloony7508]

I love this episode, you did a great job (again) Thank you very much

[@FruityKnitting]

Yep, we figured that too - after recording! It has got a little milder sitting in the bottle - I heard from a more knowledgeable friend that that would happen, and it suits us well! We have done a little more investigation during our time in Edinburgh (-;

[@silviav760]

Realmente me encantan, quiero tejer como Andrea, también como Andrew, un abrazo y cariños desde Argentina/I really love you, I want to knit like Andrea, also like Andrew, a hug and love from Argentina

[@HandDrawnYarn]

I am hoping to get an interpretation copy at EYF 😊

[@davidhensley76]

Some people disagree, but I like a little chip of ice in Laphraoig. It opens the flavor nicely.

[@fairfeatherfiend]

Love your show. A suggestion, it would be helpful if you list the patterns you use for the sweaters you and Andrew wear on the show. They are exquisite.

[@FruityKnitting]

We usually write that in our show notes fruityknitting.com

[@FruityKnitting]

I need to add Madeleine's jumper. I'm wearing my hiking jacket. But yep, program notes are often helpful!

[@fairfeatherfiend]

Fruity Knitting Thank you very much!

[@GraceTheBabbler]

Ps. Can’t wait to catch up at EYF x

[@TheSuzberry]

That's the worst scotch in the world. I think you are more brave to drink that than to cut the steek.

[@YouHaveAGoodPoint]

We had some laphraig with you however you may enjoy it more if you swirl it in your mouth first a few times before you swallow. I use to dislike isle scotch until I learned to do that.

[@carolejones993]

GOT THIS AND THERE WAS NO NOTIFCIATION . BUT HAVE ONE WHAT IS GOIN ON THAT . IS NOT ALLOWABLE
