    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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. ❤❤😊😊

    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?

    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. ❤❤

    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 😊

    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.

Blessings to you all. 💗🙏🏻🧶

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.

    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!

    What an amazing episode! I really enjoyed watching the interview with the "Knitting for Olive" ladies, what to say about the cuteness of the baby patterns and how beautiful is their yarn🥰 The colours you chose for your projects are really wonderful 😊
    I am not a big fan of knitting or crocheting toys myself, but Alan Dart's toys are really an exception. If I remember well I bought a couple of his patterns right after watching the interview you had with him. I think the Snowflake Angel you chose to knit will make a great gift. Have a very merry Christmas both of you and I am looking forward to watching your next video "dressed" as always with the perfect music you always choose 😍🎄👼⛄🧶

    I agree Pernilla and Caroline are delightful. I want all the baby outfits scaled up for me. Such a delightful aesthetic. Andrea, you make me feel that you and your guests are visiting in my living room. I am always delighted to find your notification on my phone. I have to work hard to wait to get home to watch on a bigger screen.---Well I typed this after the first interview segment. So funny to discover that they added adult sweaters because their customers wanted the children's sweaters too! But I still see some of those dresses just scaled up into tunics. I might have to try (but I have a 38 in bust so that is a lot of scaling up!)
