Oh my God, Amy is such a star, so sweet and cheerful, such a pleasure to watch her. Effortless charm. Thanks for introducing her to us.
Happy 20th anniversary Andrea and Andrew!! You were such cuties - and STILL are! And oh my stars... Amy!! A total gem, indeed. What a great interview! 💜💜💜
Glad to hear you enjoyed Amy, she is so lovely.
So many wounderful guests at the show! Thanky again for a new episode of FruityKnitting!
Another wonderful episode! I loved your 20th anniversary flashback photos. Also, Amy Detjen is such an amazing teacher and person. I've been fortunate to have been with her and Meg three times for Knitting Camp or Fall Workshops and have used the knowledge gained for successes. The knitting community is really full of the best folks! Andrew and Andrea, I wish you a delightful holiday jaunt!
Amy Detjen is an absolute delight! What a wonderful interview! I learned so much and now I really want to try out a double knitting project. As always, Fruity Knitting puts out the best content of any knitting podcast out there.
1:14:32 Wow This was a real eye opener, I´ve been wrapping the yarn the wrong way around, when knitting backwards. Now I am able to fix my mistake. Thank you so much!! Greetings from germany!
Love, love, love this episode. I was on the knitlist back in the day, long before Ravelry. Amy is a fabulous resource. I'd love the chance to take a class from her.
To non-Patrons watching this episode...this alone should show the value of helping with a small monthly amount, if you can do so. So much information from Amy Detjen that I'm almost breathless. I'm definitely going to watch this over and over AND the tutorials too. Thank you Andrea and Andrew for this interview. I actually put my knitting down to focus on everything she was explaining. I've been admiring Stephanie's clock and paused podcast to buy it! I'm ready for a new project. Farm school sounds like fun. This episode is definitely 5 star quality!! Oh and I loved all the music too. HUgs

Omg what a lovely episode! My favourite part was with Amy showing how to knit backwards! Thank you Andrew and Andrea!
Hugs from New Zealand,

Yay! Amy Detjen rocks! I’m a Knitting Camper and get to enjoy a week with Meg and Amy every July. It is the best week of my year.
Amy is a hoot!!! Met her at Meg Swanson's Knitting camp. She yells the best stories. What an experience of so many talented people with Schoolhouse Press. Thanks Andrea and Andrew for bringing Amy to your following.
Please, please, please all you 167 thumbs up people, support Andrea and Andrew with a Patreon subscription. We can't let these people down. The content of these videos is just stellar. It doesn't cost much if enough of us do this, and fair wages for such enjoyment is . . . well, only fair. Thank you.
Wonderful episodeZ, Amy, anyone ever tell you what a wonderful speaking voice you have? Fabulous interview, and oooo, those gorgeous Gotland silver curls and sheep. Also a wonderful visit! Thank you!
Andrea and Andrew, thank you so much for another fantastic episode! I enjoyed your story and your guests. I learned so much from Amy and I plan to order some yarn and the clock kit!
I don't knit (I am crocheting as I watch this) but I love watching these videos for the information on sheep, wool, colors, etc.
What a wonderful episode and wonderful contributors. I need to watch it again.Thank you.
Yes I found double knitting through The Bakery Bears and then Lucy Neatby on Bluprint and yes I am addicted. I was born in Nova Scotia (where Lucy Neatby lives) and now live in New Brunswick so it has been so exciting to find such a talented knitter so close to me. I have done lots of double knitting including hats, Mitts and cowls for Christmas presents this year. I have just ordered this book from Knit Picks and can not wait for it to arrive!!!
Another fabulous episode, thank you! Glad I became a patron to support you both and highly encourage other regular viewers to do the same. Such a deal! Enjoy your well deserved holiday in Wales.
Amy is wonderful. I felt like I had known her for years. Such a lovely warm personality and so talented. The double knitting projects , particularly the coats, are works of art and Amy’s fair isle samples were so beautifully knitted with such perfect tension. I must get the books she co wrote. XAngela
Thank you again for a wonderful Podcast!! and I agree wholeheartedly !!! Amy Detjen is amazing. So much to learn. Please have her back!!!! I've realized we do things intuitively as knitters, throughout our knitting "careers"; some stay and advance and some get left behind. Brought back memories of my early knitting days as I "figured" things out Your wedding jacket is going to be amazing Andrea!!! Loved the look back!! Never thought of you as a "child of the universe", Andrew!!! Take Care of each other. Regards, Roxanne.
I love love love you guys. I've been binge watching to get current. Almost there...i will be becoming a patron soon! Well worth it!!!
Happy 20 year anniversary Andrea & Andrew :D
This episode is especially sweet and I adore your montage of family photos ~ From Melbourne to Germany, there's so much love at every juncture. My word, Andrew's hair was lush! And Madeline is cute as a button, she has your gorgeous smile, Andrea.
Amy is amazing! I miss her audio podcast with Jaala, it was great to hear her voice again!
A knitted clock, that is sheer genius.... and utterly beautiful
I have got to watch this again Amy is amazing! The Vermont yarn is going on my wish list. The photos of the past 20 years fun and thank you for sharing.
Amy is a star! Learned lots.
Awesome episode. I love the clock and Amy. Happy 20th anniversary Andrea and Andrew!!

Amy is adorable 😍 I learned a ton of things. Gothland yarn 🧶 is so beautiful 😍 you can knit so many different things with it and it always turns out great 👍 I have used it a lot 👏🥳
I can not believe how much inspiration and learning I have received through all your podcasting. I have been a patron from the get-go and it is the best dollars I spend every month. Love all the discounts ( I just bought the pattern for the clock) and feel blessed to be a contributor to your show. Come on people pay up for such wonderful content. Well done, you fill a void in the podcasting world and you inspire me always.
Thank you so much Ruth!
I always thought from the beginning you two should have pbs show.
Loved this episode, Amy was brilliant.
Your wedding jacket by CF is amazing and the interview with Amy was fantastic! 💕
Amy is great! Thank you for showing your funny and sweet fotos!
Can’t wait to see the bridal jacket complete! Looks stunning and I’m sure it’s gonna look very flattering on you!!!
What an original idea ... and beautiful patterns
Those old photos were just so lovely to see, I can't believe Madeleine's hair was so dark when she was a baby, or that Andrew's was so long and Gotland-esque! :P Another wonderful episode, I learn so much from you and your guests ❤️
Gotland-esque is a good description!
Amy! The Knit List! That brought back some happy memories. In fact, I cooked a recipe gifted on the Knit List just tonight.
Loved Amy, thank you to you both❤️🇨🇴
Amazing Loved the interview 💜😊
Hey it’s me! ❤️
Lovely knits Midevil was my first thought Love it 💕😊
Amy is absolutely wonderful. I have been lucky enough to do two classes with her at Vogue Knitting Live in New York. She is not only a great teacher but a great person as well.
I am a patreon, I pay as much as I can I would encourage everyone to do this. It is marvellous the content you produce. Thank you
Hi Andrea, I have done 6 of Christel´s designs, and you don´t have to sew the steek on the sewing machine before steeking, you just have to steam it with your steaming iron, just put at damp tea towel on the steek and the iron on the highest setting and put it on the towel and press and steam with the iron for about 5 to 10 sek. and tjek the steek and if it looks like the yarn has bloomed you can cut it, that´s what I have done all the time and it´s all fine... Hope you will try it, or you can hand sew it with your trusted backstich that´s what Christel recomend…
LOVE your podcast.
Thank you for that tip, that's good to know.
What a wonderful woman she seems to be, Amy Detjan! ❤️
Big hugs and kisses to the beautiful sheep look at all the stunning wool they give, bless them all i adore animals
OMG what a beautiful sweater are you wearing Stephanie I love the colors 💖
That is one of Stephanie's own designs. You'll find it on her website or Ravelry page.
I have the double knitting coat book (it's been in my library for several years), and have yet to tackle a project.
Thank you for a wonderful podcast with all intresting intervjus. I have learnd a lot. This episode was special to me because i live in Gotland and see those sheeps everywhere. I did also rekognise some peopel.
You have to visit Gotland at some time. IT is a wonderful Island and not so far from Germany.
Best wishes from
Elisabeth in Visby
Hi Elisabeth, we would love to come and visit sometime.
Pure quality !! Xx
Loved your little video of 1+1=2+1=3. I recognised a few of the locations were photos were taken. Cheers from Bonegilla 🤓🤓.
I’m so glad you interviewed Amy. She is so fun and knowledgeable
Oh, I love Amy! I want to be just like her when I grow up.
Yes Amy you are a star :-)
Oh my gosh! I'm folding laundry but I want to drop everything and learn to knit and purl backwards
Людмила.Обожаю Вас смотреть!!!!
I love the clock idea! I've used finger polish on so many craft projects so I agree it would be the best to use. Always love your videos so after a rough weekend (lost my grandmother) I was so excited to see it this morning! I love the fact that not only do I get to see lovely yarn/projects but I learn so much! Thank you for all the work you do!
Sorry for your loss and I'm glad the episode helped to make you feel a bit better.
@@FruityKnitting Thank you! The 20 year anniversary and I must say Amy with her beautiful purple hair made me smile and giggle. I'm about to watch again! Again thank you for all you do!
@@fairydustbunnies Sorry about the loss of your grandmother, and completely understand how these podcasts could provide some balm in a sad time. I love these so much. Like you, I'm inspired and I learn so much. My husband and I even notice the temperature of Frankfurt on the DW News channel on PBS and comment that they would be wearing those cozy knits. I think that is veering into stalking territory. Ha Ha!
Lol! Those CURLS, Andrew 😊
Andre6 that sweater is fabulous
I loved this episode, very interesting, thank you!!
Andrea, the sweater you are wearing is so beautiful!! Can you please tell me how much yarn you've used / the weight of the pullover? I can't find any information about this on the project page. :)
Andrew, your long curly hair were looking great! All of you have beautiful hair :)
As always, such a beautiful and well put together episode!! Glad I know English to be able to follow you, guys. I would like to request an episode on cotton yarn, I live in a country where we have super hot weather and am trying to learn more about cotton. If you could help us from hot countries, it would be long appreciated! Thanks a lot and love from Brazil
Best ever 🥰
Wow amazing lessons from Amy!
Note: Row gauge discussion is at 1:09.
Thank you!
How much does the interbreeding of 2 or 3 breeds to produce polled Dorset change the fleece from the original?
How can you tell if your yarn still has oil on it from being spun?
Also is there anyway to get a yarn that is 'slightly scratchy' not super wooly just slightly? Is it possible to get it to not be as scratchy?
Could you tell me why “fruity” sorry if you have explained this before, is starting from t he beginning, I haven’t come across it yet on video 8 👍🤗🙏
Is there a way to make one-time donations to support the program? Thank you.
Despite it being old and coffee stained I am in love with Amy's squirrel sweater! Can you share the name of the pattern?
Rhiannon Orizaga It’s a design of Amy’s called Sipsey’s Folly.
Andrew I must say that you look quite handsome in that blue sweater. Andrea you did an awesome job on the knitting and the colors.
I've finished knitting Amy's jersey (the same one she is showing, with the squirrels), just a couple of weeks ago. First time I don't have to rip out my first attempt at a jersey and re-do it! (also my first time at two-handed colourway) - Also, Andrew, THAT HAIR!!!!
Knitting backwards technique at 1:12.
Hey, Stephanie Earp... what ‘tam’ is it?
(snicker snort chortle)
Watching the two of you in beautiful jumpers while I am in the middle of a drought and terrible bush fires here in Australia makes me feel interested and happy. So thanks .I’m presuming you used to live in Australia? Why did you leave? Have you thought of interviewing Esther from “It’s All In a Nutshell’ I’d love to see her in your setting.
What yarn are you using for that?
Those clocks would be really cool worked in a self-striping yarn.
Welcome back to my house.
Love the clock design by Stephanie!
Ella Fitzgerald!!! Now you're speaking my language.
