No one puts on a podcast like Andrea and Andrew. I love your podcast. So informative and you help me to understand a pattern instead of just following the pattern.
I'm watching this in Oct. 2020, and am in awe about Andrew's jacket. Fits so well, and what a stunning color use! I'm hopping all over your podcasts, and he was just starting that jacket in the last one I watched. Here it is, like magic! Beautiful!
Thank you Andrea for such a wonderful explanation of the waist shaping process!! So helpful!! Love your show ❤
Thank you, I’ve really enjoyed your podcasts which I have only recently found. I am a new knitter only coming back to knitting recently. I am working my way through your podcasts with joy. I am rather like a hoarder pulling out the iPad and the knitting and settling in with the dogs (our 2 new rescue kelpies) who have the loveliest personalities. I am in heaven. Thanks again Andrea and Andrew. I’m glad you are doing the wonderful work you do.
Andrea you are an AMAZING knitter!!! Love the podcast! BRAVO to both of you. Thank you so much!! Roxanne.
Thanks, Roxanne. Keep watching!
Thanks so much for producing such a professional classy show about knitting. You guys are truly one of a kind
Ooh that's so nice! Thank you, Karen.
You are a lot of fun! ( I still have to get up to podcast 100 and, but I started knitting again! After 25 years! Thanks to you and all these interesting people. Very motivating!
I really found the information you did on waist shaping was really great. I have been knitting for 50 + years but still realize that you can still learn. Your schematic you showed was perfect and very interesting. Thanks!

I so agree with this. I wish all patterns included really good schematics. Some have very vague ones, and I make my own when the book is lacking.
Amazing. I learned that it is ok to be a tinkerer. Love it love it love it💚💚💚
Ann Budd is an amazing teacher. Years ago, I wanted so badly to knit socks but the patterns seemed like rocket science to me. Luckily, I found Getting Started Knitting Socks and suddenly, with Ann’s instruction, it all made perfect sense. I’ve knitted many beautiful pairs of socks over the years, thanks to her! Now I’m starting in her top-down sweater book so I can alter patterns to suit myself. Wonderful episode, guys! And I love that Henry VIII sweater, Andrea!
Brilliantly helpful Andrea .. Schematic & the Fair isle side tapering. That's one heck of a jumper to knit #talent ahhhh .. Loving your podcasts from beginning to episode 22 now I'm addicted to your style and wonderfully helpful information, you make my creative inner particles dance 😊😉 Thank youououou x
Precious. Learning so so much. I realized that I hate knitting vests because I can never pick up the stitches on the front right, where the buttons and such have to go. Sigh. Great and relaxing watching...
Another lovely episode! Ann Budd is delightful. All the discussion about fit and construction really makes me think. Thank you!
Hi Annette. Ann Budd is delightful, and such a generous teacher.
Well done, Andrew. I love your sock knitting. I'd love a pair. I'm not keen on sock knitting. And, Andrea, love the latest jumper project - so lovely.
how much positive ease do you add to your sweaters? I love watching you and your husband, such a lovely couple.
Ann Budd is inspirational! Thanks so much.
As usual a wonderful and informative podcast! Thank you so much Andrew and Andrea!
Wow, Ann Budd is so inspiring for me. I also studied geology but knitting and spinning is my happy place :)
I love the interview sections of your podcasts since I learn so much about knitting! Thank you for this wonderful podcast.
Best,
Eveline
Another chance to learn from very skilled knitters and designers. What a bargain! Lucky you to be going to EYF. Hope you enjoy your time there.
Loved Dayana's work. What an amazing way to knit! I'm new to knitting, have only ever made the Baa-ble hat, but learning loads. Love your podcast, Andrew and Andrea!
Waist shaping and schematic info was soo informative. Have done a little waisting B$4 but your detailed and clear description opens up other alteration possibilities. Thankyou. Also really loved the stylish Dayana, so creative, now following her on facebook.
Wow. Super fantastic!!
Great information. I really enjoyed "meeting" Dayana and Ann Budd. I've seen their blogs and books and now I feel I know them personally.
Thanks, Nina. They are both interesting personalities and have a wealth of experience behind them. Thanks for watching.
Love Ann bud I have all her books thanks for this wonderful video I learned so much as I do with her books
Thanks Andrea for a great explanation of shaping and measuring!
Fantastic episode! I just love Ann Budd and her work! I have been stalking Dayana's projects for years so it was nice to see her featured as well! Lovely sock, Andrew! I can't wait to see your finished sweater, Andrea!
I have the Getting Started Knitting Socks book, I learnt how to knit socks from this book, it's fabulous 👍🏽
Hi there and thanks for the lovely podcast! I won't be joining you in Scotland but I am fortunate to be going to Ann Budd's retreat in Edmonton with Susan and Joji! I am loving the interviews and you are so informative! Agreed you are hard core when it comes to all of your knitting tips and tricks!😀
Great Job Andrew, wish I had a good teacher like you do , Hi Andera have a great day the two of you ! take care
Thank very much to all of your family and to your guests. Every episode is great, full of knoledge, information, fun, music. Wish you all the best!!! Can I ask, which method choose Andrea to avoid the jog when knitting around fair isle?
Andrew, I have been admiring your jacket since you showed it off at Bring and Brag and I just love it! What a great piece of art , completed by the entire family!
Andrea, you're so smart! Wonder if I can challenge my husband to knit socks for me...?
Andrew have your wife knit you some cabled stockings, they make any leg look good with a quilt. 😏 I learned so much from Ann and am fearing my Cardigan will be stretching out because it it is only 25% wool. 🙄I also now understand in the neck shaping why every 4 rows they have me rib 7 , which I know now is to prevent curling. I just wish the pattern told me which to start with, a purl or a knit. Maybe it does not matter. 🤔. Ann is a beautiful person.
I already knit to Fruity Knitting! I also treadmill run to Fruity Knitting which makes exercise much more enjoyable.
Love the picture of treadmilling to Fruity Knitting. Good on you, Nancy!!
Ann budd - isn't she marvelous! Thanks for the interview.
Bingo! you two did it again! I am so glad I am a Patr(e)on. Makes me happy that Andrew has got the "just one more row" bug. Does he also ask "shall I bring my knitting?"
Andrea, those were very clear shaping instructions but it made me wonder how you document the changes you plan or make in a patterns. Do you write separate notes, write your changes into your copy of the patterns or just sort of wing it as you go as many knitters do who learned how to knit without a pattern?
I love MDK's first books. The books are cute with practical patterns. Also on Saturday's they send out a well done email called Snippets. You may be "old school" but I learn every time and I just love your format, guests and the two of you. I don't get that one 👎. That person must be jealous

I love knitting to your podcasts xx
You're going to Edinburgh Yarn Festival!!!!! I've just booked my flights! EEEEEK!
Great, we'll get to meet you in person.
How fun! See you all there!
What a fun and lovely person!
hi there i bought the tudor rises book after last podcast its a beautiful book love ur knits both of you
Thank you, Glenda. Tudor Roses should have plenty to keep you busy. Enjoy!
Hi Andrea, I think you should let Andrew knit you some patterned socks. Just plain stockinette gets boring! Most of my socks have patterns on them and I wear them in my shoes all the time. Loved Ann's interview. I was so lucky to take two classes with her and she's lovely and a lot of fun. So much knowledge within her :) I'm in love with the sweater you wore, the red one. What's the name of the pattern? Hugs, viv
Watching while I knit and eat my lunch. ❤️
Great interview!
great information!
Sloper measurements: you should also remember to update every 5 years or so since our bodies change over time and with life events eg, births, weight gain/loss, normal aging,etc
A brilliant Episode as usual I don't have a waist its hidden by mudcle age spread. lol
Yippee I am going to Edinburgh too
Edinburgh and meeting Tilly!! (-;
One problem never mentioned when talking about knitting in pieces and seaming it together is the fit. I think, as soon as you have a few rolls on your body you need to fit into the garment, the fit of the pattern won´t necessarily result in a flattering look. If you knit in pieces and seam it, you have to open the seams and rip up the pieces one by one to make an alteration on the fit. If you´ve knit in one piece, you at least won´t have to undo the seam and finding the place where the fit doesn´t look good is much easier. Also, if I knit on piece, I can try it on while knitting on it. I can´t do that on individual pieces, so it´s more likely you have to rip it out later. If you´re not very into the maths part of the whole thing (because the maths always doesn´t seem to work out, somehow), then trying it on is essential. As much as I´d like the good fit and long life of a garment, I also don´t want to work a garment for a year, ripping back and guessing myself through it all the time. That´s why I havn´t given it a go yet.
Thank you!
I knit to this all the time.
Have been searching for the audio you spoke of.... Fruity Knitting Live w/Deborah Newton. Where can I find this? Great tips today, just found you two and have all the back episodes to view!! Thank you SO much!
Hi Julie, The Fruity Knitting Live with Deborah Newton is an event for our Patrons. you can find it at patreon.com/fruityknitting Thank you for watching our podcast, I'm glad you are enjoying it.
Dayana....You’re awesome!
Great episode! Was wondering if anyone knows any similar patterns for Andrew's sweater? My boyfriend says he wants one just like Andrew's lol
I love your channel and I wonder if you are could tell me what brand of knitting needles you use please. I have always had trouble finding a needle that suits me so I would love your input or anyone else who has any suggestions. Thank you heaps
i stay in edinburgh so will look for u
What is the name of the yarn Andrew used. The sock looks very pretty. Thanks
I wanted to pop the same question :-) I like the 'pattern' very much.
Amazing❣️
So how do translate this into changing needles sizes rather than increases and decreases, which you often do?
What is the prize for the cable garment KAL? I could not find it in the FO thread
