Love the interview with Mochimochi Land & Knitted Animation
Your advice on daily practice is so bang on for any skill we want to master, or at least get better at. Watching the animation of the horse running is a fascinating bit of history and seeing how it leads to the computer ones are amazing. Anna makes her work seem simple and playful but it requires patience, skill and an artistic mind. I LOVED the toothbrush/floss walruses. (my hubby is a retired dentist). Wow Andrew on your gauge! Anyone close enough to find the mistake is waaaaaay to close. What a lovely playful episode. Thanks for all the cheerfulness. HUgs from afar.
that cat in a a box deserves its own storybook. ( am remembering how everyone loved Cat in the hat)
Someone JUST texted me the gif animation of the gnome knitting hearts, and I recognized it from this episode! So fun! I directed the sender to this episode!
I love your history lessons, Andrew. You manage to tell the background of an item concisely in a fun way.
Pro tip: watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies lately.
@Gibson Javier Definitely, I've been using Flixzone for years myself :D
@Gibson Javier yea, been watching on Flixzone for since november myself =)
I love your enthusiasm on your first huge crochet project. I have never ever swatched crochet let alone knitted projects. I believe in a past life I was a cat who only used one life and I have inherited all her other 8 lives and I am slowly working through them. I have only knitted and crocheted for 65 years! Stop motion and your interesting research preparing us for the amazing animation. I love Wallace and Gromit too. Thank you Anna for Moochimoochi Land.
I commend you Andrea for your commitment to see the blanket thru to the end! You will truly be delighted with this blanket when it’s done!! Bravo!!
I knit and crochet so it was very nice to see your crochet project coming together Andrea. You two are so open minded when it comes to your interviews,very refreshing. Andrew's sweater is beautiful too...lucky Andrea.
Have seen the nome throwing knitted hearts many times and love it. So nice to learn about the creator.
Hi Marsha. We're sure there are many people who have seen and enjoyed that animation but never known who had created it, so it's nice to be able to make the connection here. Anna is a real talent.
@@FruityKnitting she sure is. What pure joy to watch her interview and so needed in these times. Thank you.
I love European history! I was looking at the way Olga knits, so different. I love seeing all the different ways people knit. Ok mochi is something I can't get enough of! I LOVE the stuff! I also love Mochimochi's little creations! So fun! Your crochet blanket is beautiful! I crochet so I know you have put a lot of work into it!
Glad we hit the spot with you, Renee. And yes, it is a lot of work in a blanket like that, but it's going to be stunning.
I know Andrea was talking, but I could NOT take my eyes off that gorgeous finished pullover.
Goddess that crochet blanket is seriously beautiful. That's makes crochet shobe in all its glory. I stopped crocheting because it was just so creative. It shows it's possibilities and how beautiful it can be. I didn't know all those stitches it how to read patterns. Makes me desire to make something that intricate. Thanks for showing that.
Such a great episode!
Another wonderful episode! Thank you! This world is packed with intelligent, creative and courageous people. Anna's creations just blew my mind away! And the designs by Lyudmila Aksenik? And your amazing courage and talent Andrea, jumping right into a very challenging crochet project? And the perfect knitting skills that Andrew is mastering? I enjoyed every minute of this episode and felt a nice warm feeling in my heart. Hugs from Brazil!
They are beautiful Andrea ❤️👌🏾 I started crafting with tiny weaving boards, then crochet at 8, then knitting and sewing at 10, now I go in spirts of each. It’s so addicting and useful and satisfying! I feel tied to my foremothers. Great job both of you on an amazing show 🎊🎈🎁
Thank you, Liv.
I can't believe you started crochet with such a complicated project Congratulations at staying the distance!!
Loved your show as usual. So much variety. Andrea the sweater that you are wearing turned out so well and looks so nice on you! Looks like you are doing a fine job with the crocheting. Andrew, I am so proud of you! The sweater front that was featured today is just beautiful! I am a slow knitter as well because I hate to have to 🐸. You are showing a lot of talent as well as your beautiful wife. Love those Russian designers....their work has that old world European look and style without being dowdy and that really appeals to me! Thanks again for all you do💚
Your fearlessness blows me away. I can't imagine learning to crochet on something that complex. Well done, Andrea!
Enjoyed your podcast. Wonderful job on your crochet pattern a beautiful way to showcase flowers and borders. I look forward to seeing the finish project. I also enjoyed seeing Olga's wedding dress. What a beautiful labor of love. It reminded me of when I gifted a special person a shawl with beads on her wedding day, Thank you for a great episode.
Great episode!
Great show! You always find the most interesting guests. I learn new skills, I’m entertained, and I have things of interest to share with non-knitting friends.
Thank you, Susan.
What a wonderful episode! Mochimochiland... I had no idea. Thank you for that eye opener. It was great to have Olga "speaking" for Lyudmila. Maybe non-English speaking designers the world over could use an I terpreter... Nice to see Bohemian Blooms progressing, & beautiful work on Andrea's sweater Andrew. Thank you!!
Thank you, Michele. Sounds like you enjoyed every minute!
I have knitted and crocheted since I was a child. I still forget stitches in both skills. That’s why we have reference material and youtube. Love visiting with you both and learning more every time. Hugs.
Thank you, Suzanne. Nothing wrong with refreshing our knowledge. Thanks for your company!
I got to see the knit ball pit IRL and it was *so much fun!*
Wow, this was truly an awesome episode! So much creativity is just contagious and inspiring! I really loved the mochimochiland,
and couldn't stop laughing about all the cuteness! I have to make some myself! Your crochet blanket is coming along so beautiful, Andrea! Really great work! Andrew, I am, as always, fascinated by your wonderful creations, - Andrea's sweater is going to be stunning! Thank you for another wonderfully entertaining afternoon!
Thank you, Karin. Anna seems like such a natural in her niche - and yes, very creative.
I am a huge cat lover and boxes, bags and suit cases. You cannot pack that suitcase without my furry friend checking what is in there or is it really saying they want to come on your travels. Andrea you did an awesome job on this stinkin’ cute kitty.
I think the kitty will be staying with us. Thanks for watching, Francien!
Andrew, you are such an outstanding knitter in such a short period of time. Your current project is so beautifull and amazing.
Thank you, Connie! I'm really looking forward to getting it finished and having it out "in the wild".
Been binge-watching all of your episodes! Love you!
I love your jumper and Jane’s blanket. I hope I can do it .
Andrea- I love your enthusiasm for your new craft. Heirloom quality. And Andrew - your historical and research rich animation presentation was so cool!!
Thanks, Pamela. The blanket certainly will be an heirloom. And glad you enjoyed the little background on animation - it is fascinating.
When I crochet a project I try to crochet all the centers, then the next section of the centers and work my way out. All squares that are the same flower as well. That way they are consistent. I hope that makes sense. Love Jane Crow patterns.
That sounds like a good idea, Gertrude.
Little knitted treasures make great embellishments for gift packages, too.
Absolutely - a fun little extra. Thank you, Bonnie!
Thanks for another great episode!
You both look so wonderfully color coordinated! Those sweaters are gorgeous!
Love this episode! So cute and interesting! Anna is very talented! I’m from Oklahoma as well!
Bravo on that amazing crochet blanket project! When you first announced that you were doing that project I was really impressed. At that time I did not realize that it was your first crochet project. I am blown away by how beautiful that pattern was. I've been crocheting off and on since I was nine and because of the size of the project alone, I would be reluctant to try. Now you've got me wanting to do try it, too. There's only one problem, I now live in Mexico and I seldom even pull a sheet over me because it is so hot. It would be nice to do it anyway, just because it is so pretty.
What an interesting episode. I hadn't expected to find Mochi Mochi Land quite so engaging!
So cool. I came across this video while browsing. I have mooch mooch land and all the wool to make the characters. What a great coincidence. I am soooo thrilled!
What an absolutely charming lady Anna is and so clever. It was a pleasure watching and listening to her. Andrea I love your red cardigan and buttons and it goes really well with your blouse. Best wishes Ann in South Australia.
Please be welkom to all of the netherlands almost everyhing see you you will love, and also the knitting.
Thank you for an other lovely episode
Thank you! We would really love to see some of the beautiful spots in the Netherlands. Thanks for watching!! A + A.
I so look forward to your podcasts. Another wonderful episode. 😀
So many details... love it! Thank you for another great episode. Great knitting Andrew!
The little gnome love is so cute 😍
Andrea, your latest finished sweater is just stunning!
I have been checking everyday and at last your 101 episode is here. I have been enjoying so many episodes randomly, as they popped up. But then number 1 popped up and the last 2 days have been spent with you from 1 to 8. I see Andrew really does love his Marie Wallin jumper as he is wearing it again today.
I still have to check the crochet terms as I am never sure if is UK or US. I wish we could just stick to one. And the US actually makes more sense. I am Dutch and an Aussie so it took a lot to say US!
Another great episode! Your crochet blanket is going to be gorgeous. Very well done Andrew! Thank you for such fascinating interviews. When I was in high school, we had an extra curricular class where we created stop-animation shorts. I think they were all of 30 seconds to maybe a minute. a lot of fun and it really makes you think about all the steps.
Thanks for another amazing and informative episode!
Great episode, per usual. Andrew's knitting is awesome and Andrea's crochet project is beautiful. I see that Andrew got his hair cut. Must be Germany is opening enough to allow barbers? You two are such natural teachers that between history lessons and knitting/crochet explanations I am always learning something new.
Had so much fun with this episode. Just thought of buying the cat in the box pattern yesterday and today I got it with discount. On to the scrappy yarn stash...😹
Perfect for the little leftovers... Have fun, Mel.
Thank you!
Fantastic episode. Thanks so much. Mochimochi Land looks fascinating and I'll really have to try my hand at some tiny knitting. I did Janie's class at EYF last year and have made a number of her blankets. My favourite is Frida's Flowers which has pride of place on my sofa.
I love your show and am always eagerly awaiting the next episode. Your program is well organized and well researched yet fresh and creative. This interview with Anna demonstrates how versatile and artistic knitting can really be and the background in stop motion photography really framed the subject well. Excellent work and looking forward to your next episode.
Anna has a great eye for her particular artwork. We were really impressed with her creativity, and it is great to see knitting being applied in such a different way. Thanks for watching, Winnie.
Pure bliss from A - Å. I know you will say A - Z, but in the Norwegian alphabet we have three extra letters in the end, Æ, Ø and Å :-) I love the way you share information about the music you use Andrea, I love the research you do Andrew. And the people you present to us are always amazing!
Thank you, Britt-Arnhild! We also think that a little bit of extra information about the music makes it that much more enjoyable.
Loved mochimochi land! So fun!
Hello from Mounds Illinois and I hope that you and your family are well.
Greetings to Mounds, Illinois! We're all well in Offenbach, thank you!!
Thank you so much for this fun interview! I was aware of the gnome knitting hearts but not of the cute world Anna is creating. I really enjoyed it. Sheherezade is the heroine of "Arabian Nights" in English (1001 Nights in German). I used to read all her stories as a child and was fascinated! All my love from Sussex x
What a great accomplishment with your crochet!! I was screaming "behind you" 🤣 👏 and an informative piece of history 🎬
Thanks, Deborah. Glad you enjoyed the little look at the beginnings of animation.
So fun!
your crocheting is so adventurous and beautiful
Another 100 thumbs up on another fantastic episode! Someone had recently tried to explain stop motion animation to me and now I kind of understand it. Love the Russian designers and wish I could understand their patterns. Love the crochet blanket and need to get back to work in my 1st border piece..... Thanks again for your lovely show!
Thanks, Pati. I think Russian patterns will gradually become more available to English-speaking knitters. Good luck with your crochet project!
adored this and the story behind Mochimochi land and Anna. the narrative is as important as the end product and being able to use her 'product' in such varied ways in our contemporary world and using technology so well. I've been fascinated with stop motion animation too and used to use Flipagram to my advantage on my IG account sometimes. lately, I've been doing a short course on it so I've adored Mochimochi animations and it's true - it can be simple and so much can be said tacitly. Now and then, I know I'll have missed many posts on IG with the new algorithm, I'll go back and search MochiMochi Land just to get that little bonus moment of joy for the week. Lu P.S. had to laugh out loud at the dental hygiene animation hahahahaha and about gif or jig - you'll love this article in the New York Times. I love how words are pronounced so I've been fascinated by the journey that the gif has taken...I still don't know which is correct since you feel that if it's short for graphics that it should be the hard g but that's not how the creator really did design it. words are so much fun. bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/23/battle-over-gif-pronunciation-erupts/ .
OHMY God I'm sending Andrew a trophy for getting such perfect gauge in every direction. yay considered you can hear cheering, Andrew yayayayayayayaya :-) and yes, that 'bag of tricks' is expanding exponentially hahahahahahaha! And wowwowowo, Olga is an amazing designer and knitter. I enjoyed that knitters of the world so much. yes, I'm the same about the history in europe. I get lost in it and it's just so far from what we learned here in Australia. what an episode. thank you so much. xxxxx
Thanks, Linda!
I am located in the US how do I become a Patron or make a contribution
Love the afghan
I learned about Janie Crow from one of your episodes. I was inspired by her and have ordered her Fruit Garden kit and am doing her current CAL. I do suggest that you keep working on it until finished without much of a break, as you mentioned. In the CAL there is the excitement that every 2 weeks a new pattern block is released!
Thank you for such a great interesting programe. I loved all the toys & you have inspired me to try small toys. Still so glad i became patron this year.Andrew how lovely your knitting is ,well done.
Thank you, Christine!
I really love this tiny computers by Anna just bought the pattern for gifting some of them to my co.-workers :D i'm sure they will love them! Thank you for this great episode!
Sidi! (-;
I love everything in this episode. I totally enjoyed everything. So amazing and inspiring to watch.❤️
Thanks, Jane, good to hear!!
I love your show!
Loved the video. I am just starting my first sweater (with a video to watch) and
Andrew I am knitting to your original speed. Hope to catch up to you though.
Happy to have your company, Penny!!
What a lovely episode! I loved the little knitted creations and the designs by Ludmila are stunning. Andrew’s work is so perfect! Gorgeous sweater. I do have a request - could you make a tutorial showing how you seam the raglan body to the sleeves? I have made two raglan sweaters in pieces but found it difficult to seam the raglans so they looked nice. Thank you both for such wonderful content.
Yayyyy new episode!!!!! :)
Me encantó este podcast ,como siempre muy inspirador,recién acabo de tejer una muñeca pequeña,y la otra invitada con sus tejidos hermosos y el lugar demasiado bello,un abrazo,saludos desde Costa Rica 🇨🇷🤗
Greetings to Costa Rica, Katia! Thank you for watching!
Andrew, I suggest you check out the knitCompanion app - it is incredible for helping remind you when to do shaping changes (increases/decreases), among many other benefits. It is truly an amazing piece of software (and I am just a user, not on their team!)
I love your sweater. It is exactly my taste. I would wear it every day too.
Another great episode. Andrea, your blanket will be stunning and I hope you won't get to the end and think, "that's it, I'm done with crochet now". I think if you tackled a crochet garment you would maintain your interest in the craft as an equal partner to knitting, and perhaps you may be encouraged to look at more of Marie Wallins older crochet and crochet/knitting mixed designs. Also, great animation explanation Andrew. I find the Muybridge horse fascinating as it was proof that all four hooves did leave the ground when galloping. Also, have you watched Nudinits? Hilarious!
Hi Russell. Glad you enjoyed the animation segment. I think I can recall cartoons which show horses galloping with all hooves off the ground and the legs extended - front legs in front and rear legs behind. Maybe that was a deliberate twist on reality just for fun, because they would have been made well after it had been understood. But these animators did do groundbreaking work in understanding biomechanics - both Maray, who did the seagull in flight, and Muybridge. Andrea has done at least one Marie Wallin project which had a little crochet on a mainly knitted garment, but no fully crocheted garments.
I did my Masters Degree in Stop motion Animation. Love it.
How cool!!!
When you visit Utrecht, you should also visit Wollyhood! It’s my favorite yarnshop in Utrecht with the most beautiful handdyed yarn!
I'm burning that name into my mind. Thanks for the tip, Marije.
Fruity Knitting, the yarn is Freckles&Speckles, you can also find it on ravelry 🤗
I really wanna do tiny knitting and crochet animation now ✨😃
I love mochimochi land!! So cute. Also, can you say what the pattern is of the sweater that Andrew is wearing? It is beautiful.
You should knit both sleeves together at the same time.
Hi Janet. I'm keeping track of the rows, and my record for gauge is pretty good, so I'm hoping I'll be ok. You might have seen that I did the pair of socks two at a time on a single needle, and I didn't enjoy it. I could use two cables and just work the two sleeves in sections. But I think I'll just risk doing them separately.
Hi, where can i see Annas stop motion charecters?
What style of continental knitting was Olga doing?
❤️
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🌻
Andrew, check out claymation on the internet to see some really funny stop-motion animation. The raisin industry here in the US sponsored a lot of it in the late 1980s-early '90s.
Andrea, a knitter could make 1 or 2 of those little characters each month and end up with a very nice collection of Christmas ornaments.
Thanks for the tip, David. Just thinking about raisin animation.l.. There is also some incredible work with Lego.
How are you doing with the butterflies not finding it easy any tips. Please
Keep watching, Helen!
I bought the cat in the box series as well as the log as I absolutely love Mochimochiland and have used her gifs.
I had to wait for my special treat to myself to arrive to begin Knitting the pussy cats 🐱. I ordered Symfonie dpns where you get 6 needles from sizes 2.00 to 3.25 in each set and so I can't blame my tools anymore I also bought the KnitPro interchangeably needles and cables presented in a case just for these beautiful colourful sharps. I supported my favourite wool and craft store Crumbz in Healesville Victoria Australia 🇦🇺 they didn't charge me for the delivery either.
Can you please tell me whose pattern you used for Andrew's jumper.
I am really enjoying seeing all those gorgeous jumpers you have inspired your viewers to knit throughout your earlier episodes will you be bringing that back again sometime soon.
I would love to support you further by donating $$ for one of the prices. Well that would exclude me wouldn't? Or not?
Please watch Stitching Over The Days podcast. I would recommend for Knitters of the World. Thanks, Lara
Check Episodes 71, 86 and 100. (-;
Why not let the knitters speak their langage and just find a translator and put english subtitle? I would love to hear more japanese or russian knitters of the world.
a lot of work on behind the scenes preparing the content so the guest and I need to be able to communicate as well.
Hi, just an idea on the non English speaking guests - why not have them present in their own language and use subtitles...
Not Andrew you know you made that so it’s going to be really hard to be around her and not want to look at her she sure during dinner out of curiosity
I'm going home now I love you dear friend
There's also history in Australia that goes way back just not white history.
Can you recommend any books about that?
