Andrew's jumper - with the sloppy neck - was a pattern on Ravelry, but we can't find it anymore...
Andrea's vest was an Australian pattern, but we don't have any more details! Yarn was an Australian Patons 8-ply 100% wool.
Australian Magpies
==================
The segment "Are Knitters like Australian Magpies" was based on the episode "The colourful life of the Australian Magpie" from the program "Off Track" on Australia's Radio National. This is a wonderful program looking at diverse range of topics around Australia's natural environment. Presenter Ann Jones does an amazing job of painting pictures in words, with interviews, commentary and sounds from the field. It's available as a podcast and is a treat if you have any interest in Australian wildlife.

Magpie song recordings were made by Danielle, the Magpieaholic. Danielle seems to have an extraordinary relationship with the magpies in her area, and has some amazing photos and videos. Her site is definitely worth a visit.

Interview with Ulrike Janssen

Three things I have in common with you Andrea: Love of knitting (bit of a yarn snob), hatred of sloppy necks, and I'm also a singer! Watching old episodes now and celebrating what a lovely man Andrew was. May his memory be a blessing.
I just found you. Andrew and Andrea, at this challenging time for you and your family I am sending positive thoughts for well being, health and peace. Already I can't get enough of your work and artistry. Luckily I have more than 100 episodes to go. Holding you close. So grateful to you.
This episode is ADORABLE. i love it when Andrew verbally tickles Andrea, playfully interrupting with questions and pushing her buttons. It's a testament to your relationship that you didn't wallop him Andrea! But in all seriousness, it's this kind of charm that makes a podcast so watchable. Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge, skill and your personalities.
Russell - very perceptive. The wallopping was edited out. (-;
just want to echo some other comments- i really appreciate how you two share not only your knitting knowledge, but also your relationship dynamics and family life. it's refreshing and gives me hope for humanity :)
Thanks, Cen.
Thank you for a different kind of knitting podcast. Although I enjoy the Canadian and some American podcasts, yours brings another element to podcasting...learning about knitting. I loved this visit to the wool shop but also very much enjoyed the visit and interview to the woollen and weaving mill. You have inspired me to stretch back into knitting sweaters( which I used to knitted 3 decades ago but gave up for a number of reasons). Please continue to share your style of podcasting.
Ps I prefer co-hosted podcasts so please continue with your partnership on screen. Providing input from an experienced knitter and a beginner knitter is encouraging to a range of knitters. Carry on with your nice work.
I am knitting while I'm listening to you two, and I have a smile on my face the whole time. You two are so adorable! It's nice to see the interaction between a novice knitter and a beginner. Can't wait to see more episodes. Thanks so much for sharing from Abbotsford, BC, Canada.
I just found them this week and I am watching from across the river, in Mission BC. Loving these podcasts!
Im in vancouver :)
Just found you in January 2022 and then signed up to be a Patron. Decided to start the adventure with your family from episode 1. Delightful viewing for many reasons. Thank you much!
A wonderful podcast produced by two knowledgable and personal Knitter's! A very informative and high quality production. Thank you very much! Patricia Simpson
"I will make simple knitting look complicated" 😂😂😂😂😂 adorable Andrew 😘
I loved your first podcast, very entertaining and informative. I look forward to watching more as I knit. I took some knitting with me on a recent trip to Europe and had fun knitting in some beautiful places in Switzerland and Germany, not quite the extrem weather as Wales. I call the socks, my project, my Euro socks.
Kind of late to the party as I am watching in order. But I love how you two played off of each other. Thoroughly enjoyable podcast! Now onto #4
Great to hear that you found us. Enjoy catching up! A + A
Thank you so much for putting the links to the National Radio programe on Magpies. We had our couple who nested in our backyard in Croydon, Victoria. Daddy magpie chased out his wife after 15 years and brought in a new mate. For what reason, we dont know. Perhaps she couldnt produce a male. Will have to ask a bird expert. He was with us for nearly 20 years. Brought his babies to us when they fell out of the nest. He would put them in the wattle tree at our back door. And we would put them on the hills hoist clothes line for the parents to feed during the day. Then put them in a rabbit hatch of a night for protection from cats. He walked one of his babies a block to our house. As he knew it would be safe. Wish we had come to Frankfurt when we were driving through Germany in 2019 to visit.. Does Ulrike still have the wool shop? As Im watching this 4 Jan 2022. Thinking of you Andrea and Madeline.💖
I just subscribed. I am bing watching from the beginning. Your podcast is one of my favorites.
I love your red hair and both of your knits of course! Thank you for all your hard work! Paula
You are a terrific interviewer!
This video just popped up and enjoyed it. I’m using the same yarn, knitting socks like Andrew, slow but sure. I knew a couple who stitched together, perfect partnership. Actually he was the better crafter. I see this is an old video so will checkout others. Tfs
Another lovely podcast! I learn so much and love seeing knitters from around the world. Keep up the good work!
You all made me laugh as usual! And what an *incredible* LYS; I so enjoyed getting a peek into another culture via your interview. Thanks for all of the work that you both do to create such a fascinating, informative podcast! :)
Hello! I am working in Ansbach, and will certainly travel to see the shop Maschen Wahn, visit the web site, and look into the other designers. I am so glad to be here in Germany. I found a shop here in Ansbach today, and bought a little something to make a scarf. Mitts and a hat would be more practical, but here we are. I hope I get to meet you Andrea and Andrew, and the lovely furry fellow. I love your program, and recommend it to all my knitting friends. Educational and enjoyable. Knit on!!!
Prayers and love sent your way. You both are so special, may God grace all your days.
I am so envious of your local yarn shop!!! Fantastic podcast, knocking it out of the park once again. Andrea, you almost have me convinced that even I could knit cables.
+Laurel Szabo I'm sure you can knit cables Laurel. Thanks a lot for your support, I love hearing your encouragement!
Rewatching episodes, they are great the second time through too. Hope the LYS is still going strong.
Andrew is so endearing towards you love how relaxed 😌 this episode is with the fun banter .
Watch out for Magpies 😦
Earth colours would suit you Andrea .
Beige camel rust love the jumper behind you in the shop .
Check your veins on your wrist if green then warm colours suit , if blue veins cool colours suit , so if blue veins buy a pink that’s more purplish so it’s cool . Xx
My Nan had a wool shop back in 60-70s was lovely hearing about your local shop .
Thank you so much for taking us to this amazing yarn shop. I would love to visit there and sit and knit lol. She had such an interesting story. I also loved seeing Andrew's beautiful sweater and your vest. Such beautiful work. I would never of known the flaws in Andrew's sweater if I saw him. Love the color as well. I enjoyed this episode very much :)
Sharon / Elvensknits (on Ravelry)
+Sharon Keller Thanks so much for watching Sharon and also for your encouraging feedback.
I should pass through Offenbach last summer to visit old friends in Darmstadt, by train from Frankfurt airport:) Next time I know where to find good yarns and big table when around Germany. I remember it's hard for me to find yarns in Berlin a couple of years ago when I stayed there for a week. Two shops I googled were not open when I was looking for yarns in late Oct, just in time for knitting thick jumper. Very nice interview with Ulrik Janssen and I learned that danish design got a bit of Japanese influences. Good information. Appreciate!
You both look like you have fun together. TY for sharing.
Loved the interview!
Its nice to hear about your learning journey Andrea. I also love to hear about the yarns and designers.
Great episode! and what a wonderful interview! Love all the yummy yarns so neatly organised in the shop. Thanks for this :D
Love love all the amazing information, including the Magpie comparison.
Fantastic episode! I really enjoyed your podcast...especially love the interview, it was fascinating.
I know it's 2 1/2 years since you made this video, but here is my suggestion for fixing the baggy V-neck on the blue jumper: Rip out the existing ribbing, and replace it with a wider 5 or 6 cm ribbing, knit with the yarn held double. This closes up some of the width of the neck opening, and beefs up the ribbing to a weight comparable with the weight of the remainder of the jumper. It would feel like the substantial doubled ribbing on a crew neck sweater, but you can still keep the style line of the V-neck.
LOVE the complete notes section - very helpful !!
Just binged watched all 3 episodes! I cannot wait to watch more! :) I love your dynamic with your husband, I think that it is precious and cannot get enough of you guys. Your company is just what I needed. Also, was this you singing in the background? I remember you mentioned that you are a singer, I am one too! Singer/knitters unite! :)
Thanks Klaudia. Enjoy catching up!! The music was: "Auf dem Wasser zu singen, D.774 (2000 Remastered Version)" by Elisabeth Schwarzkopf/Edwin Fischer
Thanks for the great podcast. I really enjoyed the interview with Ulrike Janssen. I have fantasies of opening my own yarn shop. Maybe someday I will get to visit Maschenwahn.
Enjoyed your podcast! You're both naturals at knitting and podcasting. Appreciate a slightly different approach to podcasting. Educational and Entertaining. I'm a long time knitter and you are opening my eyes again to the classic but elegant designs. I too was a Alice Starmore knitter in the 80's and still purchase her yarn online. Thanks again for a terrific podcast.
+Bernadette Seeley It's great to hear that you enjoyed our podcast. Which Alice Starmore designs have you knitted? I think I'll have to open a Starmore yarn and designs thread in my ravelry group for people to post in.
+Fruity Knitting I'd like that😀I've made a lot of the children's fair isle sweaters and I've made a fair isle blanket and also Henry Vlll and Rona. I love all of Alice Starmore designs I like her early yarn .
This was an excellent podcast. I really enjoyed your interview with your yarn store owner. I so envy having such a resource close to your home. I''m isolated in the middle of nowhere in Farmland USA and have to travel hours to a decent yarn shop. It's worth it though to see and feel those luscious yarns in person. Knit on!
I love learning about all birds ... thank you for segment about magpies
Just watched eps 62 then HAD to start from beginning!!!Am at start of 3 and already obsessed
Can so relate to Andrew, being a new knitter myself. I Iove the show and your interaction as a couple and all your family, dog included.Just purchased the pattern,
now to purchase my yarn and await the How to Do video...
another very enjoyable, funny and informative episode. Great job Andrew knitting two at a time, i love your green vest/waistcoat Andrea, I am a little in awe of your amazing knitting. I hope to knit along with the Darkness coat very soon.
+maria seniuta I would love to hear how you get along with the darkness coat. Thanks for your kind feedback.
I love the Hermione every day socks, I made them for myself. The breeze is lovely, well done Andrew!
hes dead
Brilliantly done Andrea and Andrew!
Love everything about your podcast and the interview at your local yarn shop
+Claire InTheMorning Thanks Claire for your kind comments, I'm glad you are enjoying our podcast.
what a beautiful cozy shop!
An informative podcast. Really enjoyed learning about the Yak fiber
The magpies story in relation to knitters is absolutely hilarious LOL :D
If a jumper has dropping shoulders, you can fix that by sewing a cotton band into the shoulder seam. That's done by tailors if working with sweatshirt fabric or other stretchable fabric. Of course you'd need to gather the seam to the desired length. If you fix a lightweight garment, you can use transparent rubber bands, which are meant for that purpose or when sewing t-shirts.
1:00:10 In German you'd call this a "Falte" but in English "Pleat" would be the right term I believe.
After your very well done chat about Yak fiber, I am certain you will enjoy listening to the audio Podcast Woolfull, episode 70 which features Paola Vanzo talking about her years living in the Himalayan Grasslands where she helped to a establish a coop with the Nomads to process and sell their Yak fiber. It's fascinating and only adds to the information in your podcast.
Hi Kathryn, Andrew here. I caught that episode and I agree, it is an amazing story. A really inspirational woman. Thanks for watching.
Birds tilt their heads on lawns NOT because they are listening for worms, but because since their have rather wide-angle vision they look for movement under the soil and use one eye only so as to see close by to their bodies. That said, LOVE your vids and have taken to knitting my projects while listening to yours. thank you!
Wonderful! I love the interview with your German LYS owner :)
Hello Andrew and Andrea! I love your podcast and enjoy your interaction on your videos. I also love all the projects you work on and finish and the attention to details.
Thank you for all the great information about the yak fiber. That sounds like a very unique and wonderful fiber to work with. I would love to own some yak yarn, even if only in small amounts in a lovely blend :)
Thanks, Oly. Andrea is hopefully back from her arm problems now, so she is starting some new projects. Keep enjoying the shows.
New to your channel. Enjoying it very much!
This comment come four years after recording, but wonder if you could share about the green jumper you are wearing while interviewing the shop owner?
Watching...
Andrew we want to carry our needles, knitting on planes. So knitters do not attack. Tea is just now allowing on plane. They take the needles which is expensive. We had a U.S. Magpie , he could talk. He was very bonded to us. Happy Birthday.
Happy belated birthday Andrea, hope you're enjoyed your day. I turned 45 on the 13th, yeah for May babies!
I love it, we're committed to our yarn ...lol!
Delightful!!
Very professionally done podcast. I love it
+IsObel Weston Thank you, IsObel. We do make an effort to get a nice result, and we have learnt a lot in the last few weeks. Really appreciate your feedback. Andrew.
I just came across your Podcast and watch some of the later episodes. I loved the purist and wholistic style of your program so decided to start watching your podcast from the beginning. I love knitting and watching your show it's like being at a "stitch n bitch" knitting group. By the way "stitch n bitch" in case you are not familiar, is a term coined by Debbie Stooller, an american knitting guru, who made knitting cool again in the states.
Hi Andrea and Andrew, your podcast is super interesting and fun. Thank you for putting this together for us. Have you heard of Kay Gardiner and Ann Shayne? They are a team called MasonDixonKnitting and they have a blog called masondixonknitting.com. Kay told us about your podcast because of your Alice Starmore sweaters. Ann and Kay share your love of Alice and Jade as well as Rowan patterns/yarn. I think the love of all things Rowan was the jumping off place of there friendship. They are wonderful knitters too.
Also, I love knitting socks, they are my favorite so I hope you both love them after a few pairs. They are so portable and you can get any kind of fun pattern for them too. Finally, I am learning a lot already with your sweater knitting. I love them but have made some that are not the best fit but I am learning every time. Thanks again and see you soon. My Rav ID is LuinSF
+LUGENE Keene Thanks for watching and yes we're very grateful to Kay Gardiner and Ann Shayne for mentioning us, they have a fantastic blog.
Andrew and I looked look lost with that yak sweater. Oh boy do you look sick, take care of your self. Love your podcast. Keep it up.
I think the neck has decreases each side of centre stitch for as many rows as you want the neck to be, then increases both sides of centre stitch for inside part until same number of rows as outer part. Then cast off in rib sewing the folded neckband to the inside picked up row, i have done this on many school jumpers when my kids were little.
Hello Andrea and Andrew!
I am enjoying your podcast so much, and I have been busy watching your early episodes. Andrea mentioned that she bought the clasp for her green vest from a store in Frankfurt that carries a variety of things like it. My husband is often in Frankfurt for business and I was wondering what the store is called.
Thanks!
I think I used the same cheapie wool in the same color to make a sweater. I bought it from a discount web site. It's also pilling uncontrollably. But I"ve been using one of those Lily brushes to get rid of the pills.
For Andrew's blue jumper would you consider using that extra skein of yarn and doing a crochet chain from one shoulder to the other across the base of the neck to stabilize it? I have used this type of stabilization with good results. You may have to experiment to get a good tension. I have found the three needle bindoff increases the stability of shoulders as well.
love your show tho. got thru all the bondi vet shows
Hi Andrea and Andrew, love the Fruity Knitting Podcast so much, watching it all back from the beginning because there is so much to learn as an beginner knitter. Question; is the green sweater you are wearing in that lovely yarnshop knitted by you, would love to know the pattern, the texture is so nice. Thank you!
you can also use a crochet hook. poke it into the project, much easier
Здесь вы такие счастливые ! Соболезную .
Hello,
Love your podcast, this is the 1st episode I watched.
The green v neck vest your are wearing is beautiful ❤. Where can I get the pattern of vest and what the pattern name?
Hi. We put up program notes at fruityknitting.com. You can find a tutorial on the scarf here:
fruityknitting.com/2016/12/10/windy-scarf-by-martin-storey/
Cheers, Andrew.
Andrea, I'm rewatching your episodes from the beginning. Can you tell me if the pattern for the Zig Zag sweater is available in English?
Hi Suzanne. Andrew here. I know that Ulrike mentioned Marianne Isager and Bente Geil, but I couldn't say now who designed which garment. You might get in touch with Ulrike at Maschenwahn. She may be able to help you.
Petagerie in english (according to the net) is ‘he flew’. How does this connect with this shoppe? And why can I not find it in a search?!
‘The future’ !!? SHEASH!!
wool is really expensive here in the US, I was thinking of getting a white sheep. what do you think? can you do a show on that? how do I get them to grow great hair and shear it twice per year. or do you recommend an alpaca? not sure, I live in Chicago.
PS-- I think it will work out well for me, I really don't like cutting my lawn and I might be able to convince my neighbors it's a really rare and expensive labradoodle. I have a plan
I would like to visit your button/clasp store in September when we are in Frankfurt, could you share the info?
www.naehzutaten.de/ Töngesgasse 39. 60311 Frankfurt. If you're in that area, make sure you go to the Kleinmarkthalle - small market hall - for a good foody experience.
@@FruityKnitting Thank you. Our tour begins and ends in Frankfurt, so hopefully I can sneak away from the hotel in Offenbach.
Russian subtitles please! I wonder what you are talking about
cable needle? that's for rich people. my mom taught me on bobby pins. you guys are too funny.
