A translation of the Japanese "Hello to all the Japanese people. I am Japanese and I would love to come to the festival again next year. It is a wonderful festival with lots of choice. I would encourage everyone to come!"
So fun to see the Swiss Yarn Festival highlighted! What a beautiful place with beautiful people.
Thank you, Jacqueline.
I never thought it would be possible, but I think your episodes are getting better and better each time. I loved the last one with Contess Ablaze like nothing and this one is so joyful, informative and a great pleasure to watch as well. Thank you so much!
Thank you, Anja! That is good to hear.
I thought some people might be interested in why I became a patreon of FruityKnitting. At some point, someone said that instead of just a podcast, this show is more like a magazine. And I thought, that's true. So what would I pay for a magazine? Then it just seemed reasonable to become a patreon. FruityKnitting is my knitting magazine!
Thank you Charlene
same, I am always on the lookout for when it airs. Then big smile hits my face. I have learned much about knitting, and also from other parts of the world.
@@twanablevins Its a sort of knitting-christmas every time a new episode comes around. Just love this amazing podcast. It is the best. Very informative,inspiring and yes it takes us around the world. Andrea you have changed my wardrobe quite a bit. Thanks for everything.
I so wish I could subscribe; regrettably, my income is just so sporadic that there are months between paychecks which barely cover my living expenses...if it weren't for libraries with free wifi, I wouldn't have the pleasure & privilege of viewing this wonderful podumentary 😥
@@teresaprice5070 One of the reasons I am a patron is to keep this wonderful podcast happening for all of us. We need to be there for each other.
I must agree with everyone that Andrew's sweater looks great on him! This was a great episode and I loved Meret's double knitting projects! So beautiful. Thank you for taking us around the world.
I think Andrew's new sweater is marvelous and he looks fabulous in it. How fortunate he is to have a bespoke sweater that fits perfectly.
You're right. It's getting plenty of wear! Thanks, Karen.
I don't know how to explain it, but the music and video clips which introduced the vendor interviews actually brought me to tears, to see the history of the craft, the wide spectrum of brilliant talent and inspiration, and the unspoken connectivity among makers across the globe...still weeping :'(
I love your programs. Here I am staying home because of the corona virus, hearing mostly doom and gloom on the news, and your podcast comes along, filled with fun, music, wonderful craftspeople pursuing their art, and it makes my world better. Thank you both.
Thanks, Linda. It keeps us smiling.
Wow, fantastic info about the natural dyeing, what a generous guest to share bits of her process with us. Plants are always a genuine surprise!
Went to college in Lucerne and took Swiss-German class daily. The Swiss are lovely and there is nothing like Carnival in Switzerland. Thanks so much for bringing back many great memories. We were allowed to knit during college classes! No problem with our professors!
I think Andrew's sweater is perfect on him and not feminine at all! He wears it well! I loved all the Swiss music and the incredible scenery on the podcast. My mom is German and when I was a child and as a teen she took us to the Swiss, Austrian and German Tyrol and to this day (I am 67) I dream of going there again. Your podcast brought me back for a bit!
Just finished watching and I can’t stop smiling and yodeling. You were right! Absolutely loved everything you showed today. Thank you🧶🥰🙃
Andrea, what a great job on the sweater...your knitting skills are fabulous! Andrew, the sweater looks great on you. You wear it well!
It's Beautiful!! You did an excellent job knitting it & it fits him. It looks great on him.
Thank you for another great episode. Andrew's sweater is beautiful. The colour is just right and Andrew you are a very gracious model. I aspire to knit sweaters like you Andrea, some day.
Thank you for this episode. You took my mind off everything for one hour, eighteen minutes and eight seconds. A wonderful escape. Thank you!
Thank you for taking me home in this lovely episode! ❤😘
I really like the natural grey and salmon pink yarn! They look really pretty with your coloring.
Andrew's sweater is classic shape and the color suits Andrew. No concern about the color.
Yes, I agree especially after doing the editing and seeing it on screen.
That Winter Wedding Coat blows my MIND!!! Wow, spectacular!
As always, when you go to all those festivals are always fascinating, fun, and enghtening!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
Andrew looks absolutely gorgeous in that color and the sweater really fits him. I'm always so curious to see your finished objects in "bring and brag"! A great show (the best!) produced by two amazing human beings! Stay strong dear Andrea!
Andrew's sweater is great on him. Color is great. Beautiful pattern! What a knitter uou are, Andrea! Your sweater is gorgeous too!
This is the rough translation of the Swiss German from the beginning (The couple )This is a nice festival. Come and enjoy. Dare to knit for yourself. This is better than buying. “Lisme” is the Swiss German word for knitting (Stricken is knitting in German). Greetings from Zurich.
Thanks, Jutta. I (Andrew) was surprised at just how different it is. I've only ever had very limited exposure to Swiss German.
Andrew‘s sweater was just gorgeous on him and I loved him sweetly being a model for Andrea and supportive of Andrea‘s jumper on him. I can imagine Madeleine giggling sneakily in the hopes of winning the beautiful jumper. Such lovely peeks into tthe family interaction.
The sweater looks amazing and I love the color💕 Simply stunning 💕
I would like to add my plea to all viewers. This is a marvellous programme and well worth a monthly contribution
He looks really really good in that sweater. It fits him perfectly, and the color looks great. Don't lose confidence in it, it's perfect.
The Swiss French lady at 16:45 broadly said that she's spent an excellent day with her friends, looking at the colours and projects.
I’m only 7 minutes in and HAD TO STOP to comment that Andrew’s sweater is not a feminine color at all! No way! It’s fantastic and looks amazing on him. The knitting and fit are perfection.
Wonderful show. I can see all of your hard work in every episode. Thanks you again.
Madeline gets secondhand sweater. Looks great on Andrew. Andrea I am proud of your knitting animal. So cute and I too love the yodeling music. Fun, interesting and great show. Love your guests!
You are knitting the world together! Love the diversity of language and locations in every episode. Ironically I am quite alergic to wool but nevertheless love sheep and the whole wool lifestyle/industry. ( Though I love it from afar.) Thankful to be a patron! ❤
Thank you, Brenda.
Coucou Nath ! Je suis épatée ! Je ne savais pas que tu parlais aussi bien anglais. Franchement plus je te découvre et plus je vois toutes les cordes que tu as à ton arc. Teinturiere, tricoteuse, couturière et en plus trilingue. Car je suppose que tu parles aussi la langue belge. Bravissimo Nath. Bisous
Beautiful podcast. All the knitting was fabulous. Wonderful
Yet another fabulous episode ! Loved the scenery, the music, the tour of the festival, and the interviews with store holders and festival organisers. I also loved all the spinning content. I would love to visit this festival in the future as it has a great mix of all yarn crafts - from spinning and weaving and knitting to lace making and yarn dyeing - while not being too big to be overwhelming. Thank you, thank you for another great episode. Your enjoyment of all things wool is so infectious. :)
Hi Kristine. It is true that the Swiss Yarn Festival did aim to showcase many different fiber crafts, which is a little unusual. Maybe we should have stressed that a little more in the show.
Andrew you look amazing in your new jumper. I think the color suits you very well.
The plotting and counter plotting in the Great Sweater Wars is getting intense! Andrew looks great in a lighter, warm blue. SO many men limit themselves in their color palette, and they miss opportunities to enhance their own features with color. He looks wonderful in his new sweater, it brings out a certain approachability and warmth.
The jumper suits Andrew very well. I knitted the model for my son and it really is a very nice pattern. 🧶
Love Andrew's sweater - great fit, fantastic color!
I ❤️your podcasts. By the way Andrew's sweater is awesome in every way. The color looks great on him.
The Swiss french sounds pretty much the same to France french in my opinion, which I found surprising since the German sounded very different! The translation was essentially that she comes from Valais like everyone else, was at the yarn festival to spend an excellent day with friends, and to buy, look at the colours, as well as look at new projects.
Et si Nathalie lit les commentaires: félicitations! Ton anglais est absolument parfait ;)
I think you're right. Swiss German is quite different to "standard" German (and many German-speaking Swiss will speak both), but I think the French and Italian are essentially the same as the "local" versions. Although the French and Italian spoken in Switzerland do also have what they call "Helvetisms", which are words (or even grammatical features) which are unique to Swiss speakers.
And yes, Nathalie did a great job (-;
First off all, Andrew looks great in your new knit. Really, it is a beautiful garment. Excellent interview pieces, as usual. Really loving the piece on Coty, values close to my heart. The craft store I work with has bags made by a single mother's collaborative in El Salvador - and the seeds in the label is an amazing idea!
I really like the swiss yarn festival, too and I hope it will be again in 2021!
I love Andrew's sweater... gorgeous.. and the changes you made and the fit... very clever. He is handsome and very 'obliging'.. x
Wow! That was the most informative, wonderful yarn therapy podcast I've think I've ever seen Thoroughly enjoyed every aspect, from the Sound of Music Swiss landscape and sounds🎼 to the organic plant dyed yarny goodness, yaks, camels, sheep, superb fibre creations and I could go on and on So so great Loved it Will simply have to, need to subscribe and share Thank you Thank you Thank you 💜🐨
Loved this episode. Proud to be a patron. With love from Sweden!
,
Thanks, Marie!!!
I get inspired with each new show. I love how you introduce such varied aspects of the fiber community!
Thank you for another great episode. I've been a patron for a while and have never been disappointed.
Thank you, Elinar.
I love how your crocheted flamingo complements the colors in your new planned sweater.
Yes it does, that salmon pink is my favourite shade of pink.
thank you so much for this fresh air in a very heavy athmosphere here in France. I love the yoodling !
Genevieve, you are welcome. We are thinking of everyone coping with these difficult times.
Wonderful episode.....everything was charming and informative.....thank you both for bringing all this pleasure to us!!!!!!!
Thanks, Nancy.
The first thing I thought about Andrew’s sweater was “What a great color choice! “. He makes all your knitting look great Andrea!
Mauve purple and green shawl is gorgeous.
I’ve just found your UA-cam episodes and thoroughly enjoyed this one. Loved the yodelling.
Always enjoy your visit. Looking forward to the Vanilla Sweatervpattern. With so much going on, Simple patterns are most appealing right now.

Thanks for another great episode. I really hope that you can continue your work during the pandemic and I do hope you are safe in Germany... with love from Australia.
I love how he calls you “dolls”. So sweet!❤️
I'm actually saying, "Darls". I hope that doesn't spoil everything... (I need elocution lessons. A few people have understood "dolls".)
"Darls" is short for darling (Australian language)
Fruity Knitting I love Darls too! You are very sweet to each other. ❤️
@@FruityKnitting No elocution lessons needed! Australian English is non-rhotic, which is why English speakers with rhotic dialects (like most North Americans, but others too) can hear 'dolls' instead. If you pronounced the 'r' you wouldn't sound Australian anymore!
Although a Patron, I haven't watched for ages-over a year. Just other things on.
I was pleased to sit amongst the coronavirus debris and just have a rest listening to your lovely style.
Keep the toy for your Grandies.. Hugs WAHx
Another quick comment. Love the light gray and oink combo for Andrea's sweater.
I adored this episode, especially the punk socks!!! My plan for 2021 will be to hike the Tour du Mont Blanc in August, then take the train over to the Swiss Yarn festival and then fly home to San Diego! That would be my perfect vacation... Mountains, hiking and yarn! Truly hoping I can make this a reality!!!
And I love the sweater of Andrew! And the yodeling of Melanie Oesch is a special yodel, since not all yodlers yodel like her.
Love your sweaters!!!
Can't stop laughing, you guys crack me up, Andrew , you poor thing (please Andrea make the twirling stop) haha, what a good sport, the nicest couple on youtube.
First of all, I agree with everyone that the colour of Andrew's sweater is not the least bit feminine! Andrea did a beautiful job and it looks great on him. Secondly, what a fantastic episode! So interesting to hear from some of the vendors, and especially to have the long interview with Asita and Meret the show organizers! Wow! This is a show that is going on my list of ones to attend for next year. Sandra, who was with Marie-Claude who owns the yarn shop Le bar à laine, said she is at the show to spend an excellent day with her friends, to buy, to see new colours and new projects.
Another great episode! ❤️
Thanks, Dave. Good to hear from you!
I love the yodeling too :)
such charming music.
I think it looks great, It seems to be airforce blue and makes his eyes pop well done
Wow great podcast!
Hello my name is Enith and I am from Peru I love your video. Have a wonderful timeeeee
Greetings from Offenbach, Enith! Thanks for watching.
Love the color of Andrew’s sweater! Color is masculine, as is Andrew 😊
Andrea, I think your flamingo is darling, Simba will love it! I love crocheting Afghans, little animals, mermaids, dolls, and wall hangings.
Great episode. Loved the music too!
I love the yodeling song at the end. It made me laugh! In a good way!
Great episode, as always. I really like the colour of Andrew's sweater and I don't think it's feminine at all. Don't be like my husband and only wear black, white and shades of grey! The music is indeed joyful and the scenery picturesque :)
Thank you!
I love the color on Andrew! Makes his skin tone gorgeous!
My husband wears that color a lot. It’s a great guy color and Andrew looks great in it.
I think Andrew looks gorgeous in the sweater....great knit
Your daughter was giggling because she wants that sweater.
That was amazing yodeling!!!
Well I love that colour on Andrew 💙
I think Andrew`s sweater looks fabulous and not feminine at all. It is a beautiful color.
I thought the same, a really great colour on you, Andrew! And a lovely pattern and fit.
Thank you very much for this wonderful episode. And I would like to make a comment to the music. The instrument you called accordion is a totally different one although it looks similar. It is a harmonica or a Switzer Örgeli or something close to it. The difference is, that accordions are chromatic and harmonicas and the like are diatonic. And thank you for the nice jodel music. I will hear more of it.
We'd agree to a diatonic accordion: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwyzer%C3%B6rgeli . I think the point about a harmonica is that it is blown directly with the mouth.
This is right as well. Both instruments have the same name: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steirische_Harmonika
Hello Andrea and Andrew. Thank you for another wonderful and interesting episode. I enjoy going on your adventures. I do understand the need for support through patreon. I cringe a bit when I hear that many of Amy’s view but do not support the show financially. I feel the need to explain my circumstance. I became suddenly disabled 4 years ago cutting my nursing career of 40 years short by another decade of service. Financially it has been devastating. Physically worse. Emotionally trying. Knitting is a great way to control my pain and remain somewhat sane. I am currently enrolled in the Master Hand Knitting program here in the states. It is keeping me occupied. So all this to say I am so very sorry I cannot contribute to your patreon account, I would if I could. Just know how much I enjoy both of you!
Hi Ann. We fully understand that some people are on very tight budgets. We don't want anyone to be going into financial stress to support us. But amongst the tens of thousands of viewers that we have, that is the exception. We wish you all the best. A + A.
Now the connection with the G clef on the window shelf makes perfect sense! Perhaps hearing your voice, professionally trained, beautiful voice, could be featured in a future episode...
I believe she has done so already, check earlier episodes. She has a magnificent voice!
Andrew looks fabulous in that sweater, both the fit and the color.
It is dramatically different and can be frustrating for foreigners who make an effort to learn German. But people are generally friendly and as you experienced they speak English very well. JK (Uni-kath on Ravelry and patron from the beginning). I thoroughly enjoy your show.
Beautiful sweater on Andrew! Not a feminine color at all. Hang on to that sweater Andrew it is a keeper! Love the Swiss interviews.
I don't buy coffees, but I did add to Patreon, since I dropped my magazine subscription. The sweater Meret Bützberger was wearing is pretty. I wonder if she knit it.
Another great episode! Thank you! You should have a double knitting KAL sometime. :O
That is such a good idea, Amy. Stay tuned.
How is Andrea doing? I have been so worried she may have coronavirus. The Belgium knitter was sick I noticed in her interview. I hope this finds you both well. I enjoy your viewing your travels and I'm amazed at your knitting projects. I'm a very new knitter, so your show is an inspiration. Another knitting show I watch called Fleece and Harmony from Prince Edward Island announced you were going to the PEI festival. They were so excited you will be attending. Have a wonderful day!
Thank you for your concern, Anna. We are both well. We have had Kim and Jennifer on the show a couple of times, and yes, we are looking forward to going to the Prince Edward Island festival. Always happy to have new knitters joining us. A + A.
Oh good. My sister and I have been wondering. 😁
He would make any sweater look good. ☄️
Thank you, Reba. I was thinking I'd have to say that myself.
Hello the ads are out of control. What is happening here? Why do we have so many please?
Sorry to hear that. UA-cam seems to be behaving a little strangely at the moment. We don't have any control over the ads.
@@FruityKnitting there are so many weight loss ads popping up. I am very ignorant about UA-cam. I didn't realize you did not agree to show ads. Maybe you can announce to the audience you have no control over this madness? It is really, really annoying. Don't worry - i love the show and will always be your patron as long as you are here.
I think that someone else wants that lovely blue sweater...KEEP IT, ANDREW! Never heard of blue being feminine.
Wearing it every day. They're not tricking me.
@@FruityKnitting Yes, Andrew. Maybe you should sleep in it...someone may come home to make a midnight visit.. :)
Had to pop down and say I don’t think Andrew’s sweater looks feminine at all! Great job Andrea!
Another great podcast, but an unusual amount of energy and good cheer! I’m prompted to ask the question that’s been on my mind from the beginning: Why “Fruity Knitting”...hope to get an answer, but will keep patron status regardless. Partly your fault that I have just bought two spinners’ sheep (Wensleydales), and begun to spin! Thank you so much!
Hi Pat, I think Andrea explained the name in episode 1, which was filmed on the annual winter holiday in Wales.
Steph Robinson I watched it again...could they have edited it out? You can PM me if you know!😊
What I understood from the lovely Japanese lady: "Hello, Japanese people, I am from Japan too, so... I hope we'll come again next year, this is wonderful". Hopefully someone will get the correct translation if they haven't already, but I think I got it 75%!
Beautiful sweater! I love how it turned out! Beautiful pattern that you are going to do and the yarn that you are going to use are gorgeous! I love what you are wearing also. Thank you for sharing your trip and the beautiful yarn! The music you played is wonderful! There was a shawl in a yellow ochre color in the beginning of the film. Do you know the company name of the yarn and pattern? Thank you for all that you do! I love watching you! The sweater that you are wearing when filming with Nathalie is gorgeous. May I ask you what the pattern is please?
That is the Nightingale by Norah Gaughan. We always write what we are wearing in the program notes.
Swiss german, hand knitted items are better than store bought :)
Thank you! And isn't that true?
