Wonderful episode, I became more and more enchanted and impressed by Pernilla and Caroline as the interview progressed and more in love with their patterns. As always, a pleasure to see you and Madeleine on the couch with your new projects. I have learned so much about fiber, colors,and techniques from your archives, you've expanded my knitting world and it's a pleasure to be a Patreon.
I loved this episode. Not only was the content of the yarn information interesting, but the mother and daughter relationships in this video is heartwarming. Lovely people.
I love this channel! Each show is awaited with great anticipation 😊
The absolute BEST thing about KFO yarn is their range of colors, and they're not gaudy colors either like some yarn companies. I also really love that they keep the same yarns and don't rotate them out every year.
What a beautiful episode! Loved the Knitting for Olive story!
Andrea, I agree, what a beautiful story! The beginning of their business, as described, was almost a happy accident, easily saying ‘yes’ to what was coming next, and pure joy! Thank you so much for introducing Knitting for Olive in such depth! ❤
They're so smart, Pernilla and Carolina! Their designs as well as their yarns, all is so well thought out. I can totally understand the knitters who started changing baby-designs into adult sizes to wear themselves ...
I couldn't help but smile the entire time I was watching this interview. I love their story and their passion. Thank you for bringing this to us!
So fun to see you have visit our little country and not leaset Knitting For Olive 🤗
I totally fell in love with their designs. So delicate, feminine and beautiful
Hi Andrea and Madeleine - I am a first-time accidental visitor on your channel. I love knitting in general and toys predominantly. I loved your show, and I was happily surprised when you started showing toys knitted based on Allen Dart's designs. I discovered this designer about 7 years ago and fell in love with his work. Since then I made at least 10 different toys using his designs. Mainly, I gift these toys, and everybody loves them. Recently, my husband rebelled and begged me to leave these beautiful creatures for us. This is why I have a few of them living with us now. Thank you very much for showing his work. It made my day brighter to know that there are a lot of people who admire his work too.

That was such a lovely interview. Watch it as I knitted with their unicorn purple merino 🦄
The knitting world is a lovely world filled with lovely people. Thank you for showing us these wonders.
What a wonderful interview! You ladies do an absolutely exceptional job keeping your episodes educational and fun! I binge watched all Fruity Knitting episodes and learned so much. Keep up the good work! Love from Michigan. ❤ Ewa
Beautiful episode!! I LOVE Knitting for Olive Yarns, I have seen them in the shops, used it once and fell in love. Thank you for the in depth interview. I have a deeper understanding of their philosophy and the various yarns as well. That hat looks amazing on you Madeleine!!! Just wear it and wear it with your head held high because who cares if people stare. Cheers!
Thank you for interviewing the mother daughter of knitting for olive that was wonderful. It gave me a new appreciation for the yarn the designs and the company.as always I love seeing you Andrea and your daughter . I look forward to your program every month. For me it is the best program on you tube.
I have do much admiration for fruity knitting and all the people you bring on your episodes. I am knitting most of my life and its only now I'm learning so much. This episode has been an eye opener . Loved every moment and knitting for olive. Wonderful people. Thank you all so much.
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Great interview with Knitting For Olive. Beautiful patterns🧶
Wow Madeleine looks gorgeous in that Akubra hut thats why you were making heads turn!🇦🇺
I've been hearing "Knitting for Olive" in the "yarnie streets" for several months now. Thank you ladies for this in-depth interview with them. 😍 Their partnership is something to admire and to aspire to. The idea of making a few of the kids' clothing items to learn complex techniques is sheer genius. ❤❤
I especially liked the copper highlights on the petals.
Pernille is so talented to have made such lovely garments without a pattern! And she taught herself how to become a knitwear designer!! Wow. Thanks so much for such an informative interview. I'm working with Knitting for Olive mohair for the first time and it is dreamy.
How I wished I had had patterns like knitting for Olive when my children and grand children were little. Wonderful episode as always. Many thanks Andrea and Madeleine for giving us this pleasure amongst all the grim news around us. Keep doing it.
thank you for this lovely and inspiring episode. I'm even more proud that we at Pick Up Every Stitch sell Knitting for Olive yarns, patterns and books
I started binging this channel when the pandemic first hit... now three years later I have covid for the first time and I'm so glad the show is still here to keep me company! I learn so much every time. thank you both :)
A truly beautiful interview. Lovely to know family coming together made such amazing patterns and incredible yarns. Thank you Fruity Knitting for another outstanding production.
wonderful episode! subscribed
Andrea, from the very first video, when you were wearing a sweater created by Jane Starnore I knew you were way beyond my knitting level. But I've enjoyed your videos since then. But since that first video I've found that you've been a perfectionist in your music and everything you touch...
I so appreciate everything you do even though most of what you cover is WAY beyond my skill level. ❤❤😊😊
Joy! Pure joy! Pernille and Caroline remind me of Andrea and Madeleine! Did everyone get the same feeling watching this episode? Two talented mothers and equally talented daughters. I enjoyed the knowledge and superior skill of Pernille, she is the type of knitter so many of us wish we had as our mother, to learn not just to follow a pattern, but to know our knitting. She kind of made me think of Elizabeth Zimmermann. Plus, I must have some of their yarn! Hearing such commitment to creating a superior product is grand. Not to mention they took no loans but saved up and moved along as it came in! All commendable, true integrity and an example that instant gratification doesn’t exist everywhere. Thank you Ladies. This is a keeper!
Dear Andrea and Madeleine - as a very long-term viewer I totally agree with you when you declared this to be one of your very best interviews - it’s absolutely brilliant ❤ I was totally captivated by their patterns, the various yarns and their philosophy. After looking at their website I’m quite mesmerized - especially by the fact that they offer free international shipping on your first order - and I live a long way south in Tasmania!!I’m very excited by many of their designs and can’t wait to start my first 😊
Such a joy that my two passions are combined here: knitting and Peggy Lee's amazing voice. The color of Madeline's cardigan is mind-blowing ❤❤❤
Your colour coordination of jumpers, dining room accessories is noted! Lovely to see all the variety in every well researched segments. Well worth the Patreon subscription to keep this channel going. Best wishes, Madeline and Andrea from Canada.
An amazing episode through and through. I don't have the words to describe my joy to see the fascinating knitter, designer and creator that Pernilla is.
Indeed the knitted toys by Alan Dart are magical.
These people are God gifted.
Thank you for this wonderful episode. Especial the interview with knitting for olive, I love their patterns 😊❤❤❤
I absolutely loved this interview with Knitting For Olive, thank you so much! I was actually knitting my second Baby Bear Balacava and had some KFO merino delivered while watching. I love their ethos, colors, yarns and designs, many of which I've knitted. I am so drawn to the nuanced colors that can be created by mixing merino and kidsilk yarns together. Thank you again for such an inspirational and fun episode. How about an interview with Isager, another mother/daughter team?
Wonderful interview and so much lovely yarn and patterns! Thanks for another outstanding episode and the opportunity to be able to sit and knit with you once a month may push me to the Shetland level on Patreon! Best wishes for a safe, healthy, and joyful holiday season.
What a great story. Two terrific mother/daughtercombos. I wish l had a little girl that l could knit for as those children’s designs are exquisite. Thanks for all the hard work you do to make these programs.
❤
Absolutely love your channel, so interesting. The knotted toy 'Outback Aussie' so cute and the nest of birds, really clever, yes remember Count Draculua, very impressive. The chess set is stunning.
I love all her designs.
Quality segment thank you. Andrea grinning from ear to ear when the children's knits displaying, tells me she can't wait to have grand kids of her own and spoil them with beautiful knitted clothes.
I am now obsessed with Knitting For Olive!!
Awesome!!!!
Wow, these infant and baby clothes are amazing! So well thought out and beautifully designed. Though I would imagine that some mom's would really prefer superwash yarns. You are making me feel rather "broody", though I'm in my 60s and neither of my adult children have any inclination to _have_ kids.
I‘m looking forward to every new episode and I am never disappointed ❤
Another wonderful episode! Thank you so much.❤
I could listen and see their patterns for hours more ❤
Hello, Andrea and Madeleine. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. The interview with Pernille and Caroline of Knitting for Olive is outstanding! They are both delightful and their patterns and yarn are so beautiful. Andrea, I love the double knitting vest that you knit. I look forward to seeing the FOs of each of your blouses.
The baby clothes designs are absolutely gorgeous. Pernilla is such a talented designer.
I am always so excited when you drop a new episode. It is a pleasure to watch you and Madeline on the couch showing us projects, talking about the ends and outs of knitting and I look forward to your interviews with people around the world. Thank you for creating such wonderful content!
Thank you for making this interview! They are two beautiful women in all meanings of this word. It's an immense pleasure to watch them explaining their stories. It changes the way I will now look at their yarns.
This was the BEST program!!! So well done and I loved the mother/daughter business aspect. Good job Andrea and Madalyn!
I would like to try the knitted Angel it looks wonderful.
Great episode. The glitter addition to Andrea's sweater. Never too much glitter....
What a great interview. Another lovely Mom and Daughter business. Awesome. I love their designs and much try their yarns. Thank you again.
Thanks for introducing me to the to the creators of Knitting for Olive.
Excellent show! 49:51
I was waiting for your show! So glad to see you so well! Have a good weekend :)
Thank you, enjoy the episode!
I do not knit very much. I enjoy all your episodes because of your joy to be sharing stories. The interviews are always informative and joyful. Thank you.
Loved listening to Knitting for Olive story and admiring their beautiful knits. Great episode. Thank you.
Merci pour ce nouvel épisode ! Je suis contente d'avoir decouvert K for Olive ! Leurs modèles sont très jolis, on aimerait les tricoter tous!
Et vous, vous pourriez aussi nous dire comment c'est, de travailler entre mère et fille !
Thank you very much for this new episode.
It was nice to discover who hide beyond Knitting for Olive ! Their patterns are really beautiful, we 'd like to knit all of them !
And you ? Could you also tell us how it is to work together, mother and daughter ?!
Amicalement, de France !
Great episode. I really enjoyed the interview with Pernilla and Caroline. Their patterns are beautiful and I love their yarn colors as well.
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode and interview with KFO. I've long admired their yarn and patterns so getting a glimpse of their story was so inspiring! Thank you :)
This was such a joy to watch! 😍 You captured them brilliantly and I loved learning more about how they started their business and the ideas behind the patterns and yarns.
Oh my goodness those girls deserve success! Amazing ideas. Beautiful knits and stunning yarn.
What amazing women. What a wonderful show. Thank you so much.
Beautiful + Practical = Perfection AND Peggy Lee. Outstanding Math!
This interview was amazing! I am very impressed by how mother and daughter work together. The explanation about their patterns and yarns was new to me and very thoroughly thought out.
Such a beautiful story behind this amazing company giving we knitters so much joy! Thank you so much for bring us this amazing “ inside peek” at Knitting for Olive and the extraordinary design expertise and talent at the heart of it. Such a fortunate family. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for a wonderful episode. I Knitting for Olive, and now I love them even more. As a Dane living in Australia, this episode made me very proud of the Danes and it made me miss my home country even more.
What a lovely and moving episode! It's great to discover how this well known business grew little by little, with these two powerful women! Bravo
One of the most wonderful episodes. Love Knitting for Olive. Thanks so much for sharing 🩵💙🧥❄️
I feel so joyful, this episode was like a warm hug and watching this loving mother-daughter duo create something between them that is such as gift to the world makes me feel truly happy to have been invited. It gives me echoes of how you and Madeleine are a lovely duo together and my heart is so full watching the two of you in the same way. By the way, if you and Madeleine wished to frequently knit the same garment, it would be yet another excellent dimension regarding how knitting emerges individually from each of you as a knitter and could suit each of you individually. It bolsters faith in my own knitting and I am always rewarded watching your content. Have a lovely holiday month to come!
how lovely to see you two again. And the show was a pleasure
I happened upon your video with Charlotte Stone while googling her on here today ! I loved the interview with her, and then watched another, and then came upon this one with Knitting for Olive !!! This was great, too, loved it !!! I have been knitting their Baby Bear hats since last year and they are addictive to knit !!!! Love, love the Merino with the Mohair !!! I subscribed and will be catching up on the older episodes !!! So glad I found Fruity Knitting!! !You two do a lovely job together !!🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶Happy Knitting !!
I absolutely loved this episode. Caroline and Pernille were a pleasure to watch and listen to. The beginning of their company and story is lovely.
I loved the interview with Pernille and Caroline. Pernille's designs are so lovely. I wish I had babies to knit for.
What a wonderful family business and those designs are just stunning,X

What an incredible designer.....makes me want to have a baby just to knit Pernille's gorgeous garments. thanks for sharing this interview.
You guys are beyond awesome and put on an excellent show. Thansk
This certainly make me feel like knitting a lot of Knitting for Olive patterns. Thanks !
Such a beautiful and sophisticated collection....
Sometimes with complicated stitch patterns, especially ones that don't have a constant number of stitches, the gauge is specified as being in stockinette stitch. The assumption is that your stockinette gauge will transfer directly to the complex pattern. Another option is for the gauge to be specified as inches or cm per pattern repeat, so you don't even look at the individual stitches.
I would think a pattern like this would use one of these conventions to avoid the difficulty you had in figuring out exactly what you should be measuring. It's a beautiful stitch pattern and garment, though!
Godt nytår 🎉 glimmergås❤. Jeg er måske med på den. Det er jo ikke meget strik af mit der undgår glimmer ❤❤❤
Lovely episode and interview. I really like Knitting for Olive, and it was really interesting to learn how the company came about. And thank you for the patron discount. I´ll definitely buy some of their lovely yarn (Who can resist all these lovely colors?! 😅)
I'm so glad I found this! The interview was fantastic, thank you!
Loved this episode well done to all concerned with it.
I really enjoyed the episode! I have been a patreon member for many years. I think fruity knitting is the best knitting show by far. I hope that if anyone is watching and not a patreon member they will become so. Well well worth the investment.
As always well done ladies!
I'm glad you enjoyed the episode and thank you very much for being a patron! Warmly, Madeleine
I love tie yarn and their patterns. I’ve made many garments from both their yarns and patterns. The patterns are lovely.
I am really wishing that I had little ones in my life to knit for after seeing all those gorgeous designs! What an informative and inspirational episode. I can’t wait to see the disco angel!!!
❤❤❤
Loved it! Thank you so much for this wonderful presentation!
Your show is so marvelously well produced, it belongs on public television. Here in the states, our Public Broadcasting System has loads of craft shows. It must be the same in the UK…I wonder if you’ve ever reached out to a BBC representative?
I agree!
I love the jumpers with the flowers amazing what you making it is lovely i wear what you are making lovely love the toy i love knitting toys love the knitted toy bless the angel it's lovely love the wool shop great video as always blessings sent.
Thank you very much for this beautiful and interesting video.
Another top notch episode! I haven't tried Knitting for Olive yarns yet - although I did find a LYS recently and actually got to see a few colors and feel the Merino and Silk Mohair. The yarns are lovely. I love knitting baby knits and they have gorgeous baby knit patterns. I have plenty of cousins with kids to knit for. Andrea, I get the feeling you would love to knit a few baby items too. Thanks again for a great episode. Happy to be a Patreon 🙂
Thank you for supporting the show and for your lovely feedback! I'm sure Andrea will knit lots of little garments someday, but she'll have to wait a few more years I'm afraid ;-)
I'm knitting a little dress design by Pernille as I'm watching this podcast. The last dress you held up at the end of part 1 is the Vanilla Dress and I'm actually knitting my 2nd Vanilla Dress I'd like to knit all of those cute designs for children but I knit too slow and the kids are growing too fast.
Such elegant patterns and yarn! Thank you, really enjoyable.
Wow so inspiring! I couldn’t stop watching - even though my knitting skills are advanced beginner at best. I’ll probably never be able to knit those gorgeous intricate designs but I learned so much about the different fibers and yarn combining and now I’m inspired to choose some luscious yarns to knit a basic dress or sweater for my granddaughter. Blessings to you all. 💗🙏🏻🧶
What a fabulous interview. I learned so much about baby construction. So much talent. Thank you.
