I vividly remembered this episode when i travelled through Estonia last year. Thank you!😃
Reknitting until its right just gives you more knitting joy for your yarn dollar...
My grandmother was a corset maker in Philadelphia in the later 1800’s. I’m now 78 years, and my mother was the youngest of 10 of her children and I was born when she was 30 yrs., so it was a long time ago.
Everything about this episode was lovely! Learning about millinery from Neil and Estonian Knitting from Aleks, to Madeline’s psychology lesson, and even hearing Andrea discuss her many knitting mistakes in her current project. As an experienced knitter, I still have so many techniques to learn and try. And like Andrea, I still make mistakes on almost every single project.
Thank you so much! 😊 Kim
Loved this vlog. The hats were beautiful. Loved seeing Bath. Beautiful scenery.
As an ardent fan of you both, I’m tickled to see your mistake 😮. A little flustered is charming. Thank you. 🎉
Being an Estonian it was a blast to watch the interview with Alex Byrd! Hearing Andrea say "väliseestlane" or "narmad" just melt my heart! This is so interesting to see Estonian patterns and techniques interpreted the modern way. I just keep smiling after the show :) Thanks so much!
What a beautiful knitting culture. Wow!
I am a Jane Austen fan. How exciting, and thank you for sharing all this information.
I love when you share the mistakes you make. Everyone makes mistakes. Now I know sometimes we also make the same mistakes. Lol
Madeleine has the right looks and carriage for those lovely hats!
9:35 I wondered when you said the piece would look nice without sleeves. As you decided later that quite substantial sleeves were in order, it started fitting your personality and the regal cut (Queen Anne necks always remind me of one of the dresses at the competition in dressmaker school). I'm so happy that you keep making these exciting, lovely, informative and philosophical shows.
I met Alex last Wednesday at the Farmers Daughter Fibers in Great Falls, Montana. She was there to present a workshop. What a lovely lady and beautiful knitwear she does. Pictures don't do justice to her garments.
This sweater is cute as can be!
Amazing! I didn't think you could interest me in millinery, but your feature on Neil Fortin was fantastic. Madeleine should always wear hats: she looked really good in every one of them. I have browsed around so many knitting podcasts, but you are the best.
Please consider Anne Ventzel for your show. Love your channel. It's truly unique and sentimental and teaches us so much about knitting unlike any other channel on TH-cam that I know of. Well done! Thank you!
I really love the different segments in each of your shows. Today I am especially thankful for the nature scenes and music, and your daughter’s sharing of her knowledge of psychology and mental health applications. I thoroughly enjoy both of you. In addition, I enjoy knitting Estonian designs.
Great tour all. Ha! Learned helplessness in why I can’t rescue dropped stitches!
Both the interviews were fabulous. The hats are lovely and it was clear that Madeline found them really fun. Alex was astounding - really brilliant, funny, creative and yet so full of information. Seriously she could be a cousin. Not just the lovely hair color but also her smile was so much like yours. Another excellent video - thank you.
Your episodes are always so lovely. Thank you for all your hard work.
I’ve been an enabler for strategic incompetence and hearing it explained like this told me that I need to not continue to fall into that trap.
Love the Estonian knitting pieces and was so impressed that the drawings were done by hand. Amazing. ♥️
This was a wonderful episode, thanks so much! I was only in Bath once, shortly after a freak hurricane. All I could focus on, as a botanist, were all the enormous, beautiful old trees that were destroyed. So nice to see the one preserved in that protected courtyard. As for the Abbey, here's my tip. When I visited York, I got up hours before my b and b served breakfast, so headed into town seeking food. Nothing was open but the cathedral was. It was completely empty and silent. A priest popped out and asked if I was there to attend services. I was abashed and said no, but he kindly invited me to the staff service in a side chapel. One of the most memorable experiences of my trip.
I love this new episode! There are so many nostalgic things for me in it; I live in the UK, have been to Bath several times and went to university nearby, visited Estonia a few years ago which was beautiful and have an Easter flower headpiece as a souvenir, not to mention the knitting, the familiarity with German having learnt it at school and visited several times, and the fact my partner is an Aussie and has a degree in psychology. It’s just amazing to watch your lovely content and I appreciate the huge amount of effort you always put in ❤️
Also, the Regency rich to upper middle class were who was depicted in art, fashion pages, and writings. The lower middle class and poor's dress was ignored. Thus, it is much easier to construct the dress of the rich rather than the lower middle class.
I’m so so happy to see this interview about Estonian knitting! I myself am not Estonian but I’ve been living here for three years, and I love it so much. It’s a beautiful country with such a rich culture. Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you. Been waiting patiently for the next installation of fruity knitting
What a lovely episode to watch the day after Fiona messed up our lives and the PEI fiber fest. I'm here in Nova Scotia and so glad that you guys ended up having a lovely time at Kim's place. Safe travels back and I hope to meet you next year?!
Enjoy PEI! It is a magical and quaint place where creativity abounds. The people are so hospitable so make sure you take time to tour the island and relax while you’re there. Welcome to Canada and hope you travel to more places in our wonderful country.
Yes, orange is a great color for red heads!
Thanks for another great episode of Fruity Knitting. I had been impatiently waiting for it this past week. Every new release is like getting a present in the mailbox. The one thing that made me discover Fruity knitting in the first place is that I was wanted to find out more information on knitting traditions. This episode is so rich, and the music you chose to accompany the Estonian knitting segment is so exquisite, I gives me goose bumps. Also, kudos to Madeleine for the great interview, you get better and better with each one. It is pure joy to watch you bloom (pun intended) as a knitting blogger.
LOVE YOURS KNITS!🥰
The Estonian Knitting was a fantastic episode. Alex really knows how to present her many skills. Keeping it interesting, she is an artistic genius. Thank you for another inspiring episode.
Ladies you created amazing show once again! Madeline, you did great segment with hats 😍
I have been absolutely hanging out for a new episode and couldn't wait to watch it. I loved it ALL and laughed and smiled my way through the episode. However, my favourite part was the interview with Aleks Byrd and learning about Estonian knitting. I discovered that my grandfather was from Estonia at the end of last year! I have now connected with my Estonian family and they are from the Tõstamaa region. So I loved learning about the fringed gloves from the area. I am Australian but also hold my Estonian heritage proudly. Thank you for the programme 🧶
Great video and your description of Bath - my old home town (city) , I miss it loads x 💚
Another awesome episode 😊love you girls 😊
Yet again… wonderful. I sit smiling as I am watching 😊
This 'knitting show' was such a breath of fresh air. History, fashion both knitted and other, a tour of a lovely town, knit chat, psychology and I'm sure other aspects topics that don't immediately come to mind. Yours is a great program to knit to. I have subscribed and will be sampling your other vids in the near future. Thank you for your effort and quality broadcast.
I have to say I really enjoy Madeline’s segment on psychology!, thank you!
I just love your teaching. Always recommend your stranded knitting tube to those having trouble with the floats. Hugs WAHx
Thank you!
My hubby is a professional at strategic incompetence when it comes to housework!🤣😂
Learning about new people and techniques is so interesting. Thank you.
Excellent information and such a fun podcast. Jill is a trooper, isn’t she. Madeleine looked very coquettish in her glorious hats. The Estonian patterns are beautiful. Thank you
Neil Fortin is amazing and the hats are wonderful. Thank you for that.
I love the braid work in knitting, it just adds such a different element to the knit wear.
What a wonderful episode.
Loved those hats, the were exquisite.
Great episode and one for the algorithm!
How DELIGHTFUL is this episode! The millinery, history, tour of Bath and the amazing Cathedral. Splendid! Also, how enjoyable is your pop psychology wisdom! 🥰😊 I so enjoy you both and how you put together our ‘visits’. ❤️🥰
Do you know how much I love all your videos? I love what you do to the moon and back🌺❤️
Informative, educational, amusing, entertaining and as always 'engaging' - such a great podcast - thanks so much Andrea & Madeleine.
This was a great show and I loved both the hats and the Estonian knitting.
What a fun and interesting interview with Alex Byrd!
Andrea is a living doll and a wonderful model.
What an amazing episode. Bath is spectacular!
The blue lace top seems like such a fun knit! Thank you for the inspiration!
Such fun to sit and knit with this episode. Thank you!
How refreshing to hear all about your "beginner" mistakes Andrea. It's incredibly encouraging to me. Aaah, hats. So few choices these days beyond the baseball cap, ugh. These are so beautiful but those that are like blinders for horses which keep you from seeing around you...those I really don't like no matter how pretty. They symbolize for me the horrid restrictions the women of those eras were locked into. 1890's are lovely and at least they could see no matter how crazy restrictive the clothing.
It's so hard for Moms to NOT fix things for our children. Obviously daughters can also learn to manipulate this. I do love that phrase "strategic incompetence". It's definitely something to consider.
Such an informative interview with Alex! Oh and I love the little koala. Alan Dart's patterns are so fantastic!. HUgs
I live in Bath, ME so this episode had special interest to me.
Thank you girls for the podcast today. I appreciate all of the hard work you both have to contribute to make it flow so smoothly. 😊
Lovely episode!
Beautiful episode again. I was in Estonia this summer and bought a book on traditional women's crafts! Excited to see Aleks book!
Bath is stunning and those hats look gorgeous on Madeline. Every time she really smiles I see Andrew in her !
Hello from Mounds Illinois!
Last weekend I saw Alex's book in a knitting workshop, and I wondered to know who is personally. She's a really, really kind person, thank you for the interview.
Wow seeing Alex in those garments and all the effort that must've gone into it, hours and hours... It just made me super emotional.
I absolutely love watching your podcast. Thank you for great content and interesting guests.
Fabulous episode!! :)
Oh no! I was think of you and Madeleine at the yarn festival in PEI. I saw that it got cancelled. I hope you could have redirected your flight to Montreal - a fabulous city! Well, maybe net year? I think this is the second time they had to cancel. Oh, yes, this was yet another brilliant podcast!
I loved EVERYTHING about this episode! Bravo!!
Beautiful episode, thank you both for your wonderful work.
Another amazing and inspirational episode! Thank you!!
Loved the second to last sweater! Stunning. What a great episode.
What a sweet interview! I loved it. Thanks so much :)
Excellent episode! Thank you so much for sharing this with us 🧶
Alex was charming!
Thank you so much! This is so rich! Your beauty, excellence and good cheer inspires us and spreads all over the world. Love from California!
Thanx for again a lovely and inspiring episode !
The quality of your film and photography is always amazes me!
Thank You😊
Wonderful episode! I visited Bath with my late husband in 1993. We had afternoon tea in the Pumphouse, toured around the Roman baths below, and took a tourist bus around Bath. The hats were delightful and Madeleine looked wonderful in all of them. The little Psychology moment was enlightening. I saw myself there. 🥴 The Estonian knitting segment was so interesting, too. Thank you Andrea and Madeleine!
How wonderful! Your videos are always so inspiring and so full of information. Thank you so much!
I enjoyed everything about this show! Every part was fun and interesting.
Both of you are very special people and I have just become a Merino patron. Thank you for sharing your talents! Patricia
A really interesting episode. Thank you. Have a wonderful trip to Canada. 🇬🇧
Wonderful blog! Thank you.
Another great episode! Loved the Estonian knitting and the hats were amazing.
Fabulous interviews and superb the section from Madeline. Lovely walking round Bath with you both. Enjoy your next trip - it sounds so exciting. 🌻
Thanks for another amazing episode!! I am really enjoying the addition of Madeleine's psychology lessons ;) ...Your description of the TimTam Slam ...I was waiting for the.... slam!!
Loved the 'Hat Tour'!!!. It brought back good memories when I made period hats to attend events with my (San Francisco) Bay Area Costumer's Guild. The annual event was to attend the Christmas time Dickens Faire in a new gown and bonnet. Another great episode.
Lovely episode as always, so much to learn and you always inspire me to! Thank you so much 😊
Loved this episode! 😊
Enjoy your trip to Canada
Another wonderful episode and what a lovely lady Alex Byrd is.
Madeleine would look perfect in a Jane Austen drama 😄
I like to knit while I am watching Fruity Knitting. But it's getting harder and harder to do, with all this amazing content! Definitely had to stop for those amazing bonnets! Thank you! If I really want to get some knitting done, I put on an action, then I barely have to look up.
Wow! Thank you
Thank-you for the very interesting interview. It is amazing work. Alex Byrd is so talented! I have been meaning to buy her book and now it is top of my list. Thanks again.
Love your knits Andrea...you can think of making a TH-cam channel for teaching knitting as well...I am sure many would look upto that as well...love your passion for the art.❤
You can carefully iron the pages of the Kim Hargreaves book. It will smooth right out
Wonderful content, enjoyable to watch.
PEI 🙌🏻 we were there this summer. I hope you enjoy its rustic rural easy living pace and get to enjoy the red earth coastal scenery 😊
Loved the hats, and Madeleine looked great. We’ve just got back from Bath and will defo return for the festival. 🥰🇬🇧🇩🇲
You make my day. ❤😍
Hi Ladies, great episode as always. In the video Madeline mentioned that the Divine book is Kim Hargreaves last book but this is incorrect. Kim Hargreaves is expected to release another book in October, which will be her last book. I too have made Effi and made a few mistakes 😀
Great video
