Thanks to Zoe for all her work and passion! I would love to have all the information in a book! And thanks to Andrea and Andrew for all their work and passion.
I am such a science nerd and visual learner, I found Zoe's project absolutely mesmerizing and interesting!!! I am actually quite envious of those charts, booklets, fact-files, etc, LOLOL Great job!! And, thank you, Andrea and Andrew, for once again producing a superior documentary episode flavored with the perfect amount of intimate engagement...Wow!
Thank you so much dear Fruity Knitting. Sadly I'm an impoverished British pensioner living in Spain so am unable to become a patron but I just wanted to express my appreciation for all that you do. I took up knitting again nine years ago after my first joint replacement and made a pair of socks in acrylic yarn with help of the internet and then podcasts took off and I accidentally found yours first - your first episode. What joy! So much wonderful information am now fascinated by sheep. This episode was genius. What a wonderful young woman! Unfortunately I'm not able to purchase these expensive yarns either but try to spread the word about knitting and based on your inspiration of outside knitting have ventured out. This morning in the park a couple of visiting Australians stopped and chatted - naturally I mention Fruity Knitting. I now have four replacement joints and a whole new interest to help distract me from the pain and aid my recovery. Eternally grateful. pS if/when I win the lottery I won't forget.
Linda I share sentiment, being a disabled fixed income crafter, would love to be patron also. I have appreciated these two since they started. Always felt they could be on PBS.
Zoe is amazing!!! Thank you so much for finding her and having her on your show. What a wealth of information! This is a terrific episode. You two are so good at providing us with information and entertainment. I love Tuesdays!
thank you for this episode, I met Zoe recently at a show and keep one of her T-towels with my travel wheel for when people ask about the fleece I'm spinning ( I concentrate on British Breeds) I think her work is very interesting and has spurred my on to continue hunting down fleece from each breed, I've spun over half of them now !
Andrea and Andrew you get better and better every episode. Please feature Zoe's work again and again. She is going to discover so much with her research, and I would love to see a lecture on Sheep breeds from her every episode......there is so much to learn. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
What a brilliant idea! I would also love a recurring segment with Zoe, e.g, presenting a new breed every episode. I do appreciate that it would require quite a lot of work on both Zoe’s and Andrea & Andrew’s part, so this is more of a testament to the wonderful work done to produce this episode than an actual request.
Zoe Fletcher’s work is truly foundational. Congratulations to her and you for highlighting it. I was at EYF but couldn’t spend the time and attention to exploring all that she had to offer. Thank you so much for bringing it to all of us.
Very interesting episode ! I've wanted one of those towels with the breeds of sheep since I saw it on one of your earlier episodes, now I know where to find it. Both of your WIP are looking wonderful, have a lovely week !
LOVED the Woolist--so fascinating. I really love all your episodes about sheep breeds and farms, it really does help with choosing yarn for different projects. Or even just understanding what you might be buying online when you can't "feel" the yarn. I bought some North Ronaldsay wool (which I believe is another rare breed) from the Woolshed when we were in Orkney. They primarily eat seaweed! Very beautiful hardwearing yarn and very good for the outdoors. My brother works hard outdoors in Canada and worn that sweater exclusively in all weather for 20 years. I would love to see an episode about those sheep.
Gosh Zoe Fletcher certainly knows her practice. Thoroughly enjoyed and slightly intimidated with this interview. I can see that I will have to revisit it many times. Thank you for another great episode.
Thank you so much for your work. I have learned a lot and you always ask the right questions. Great episode. I discovered some rare british breeds over the last years and I love them all in a different way. But now I know I have to experience some more.
Most show stock is treat. Dry well. In our family my son (when in school sowed steers we kept them in a cool box. Air con, music fresh straw daily. Bathed daily blowing their hair up. We sent him to sow cattle camp to learn how to prepare them the stock. There is a lot to it. Now granddaughters show goats. It is huge market here in Oklahoma, USA. A lot of competition. They start learning to show in grade school.
Such an interesting program, the best so far. To understand the fibre is so important. I have been spinning for 30 plus years, but have not tried Derbyshire Gritstone or Cotswold. Looking forward to finding some and spinning it.
" Ain't we got fun. " Every Fruity Knitting episode loaded with fun. This episode is like taking a Knitting Master Class. From Zoe Fletcher to Andrea's explanation of sweater modification. Curious about camera focusing close up to normal focus. Noticed it a couple of episodes ago.
@@FruityKnitting Oh, wow am I seeing things that aren't there? A couple of episodes ago Andrea was showing a yarn and the camera seemed to move in closer then move back.
Dear Andrea thank you very much for beautiful and very educational video, I always enjoining watching you,you are very intelligent and gorgeous lady sorry I can’t support you but I love you 💕 very much and your beautiful girl ! Thank you again!👌👍🤗🙏🥰🙋♀️🇦🇲
Wow, Andrea! I love hearing how you modify your patterns to better fit your body. Would you consider doing a little session on styles of yoke increases/decreases? I’d love to hear how you think about ‘winging it’ to get the fit you want for the upper shoulders and collarbone (I’m normally a little shorter in the shoulders and often have to make some kind of modification, but I don’t even know where to start). I’d never heard of the decrease with smaller needles tip before when doing a colorwork repeat, so thank you! So glad to be a subscriber.
Thank you once again for all the effort going into the episodes! I wish our rand/$ exchange rate can imlrove so that I can become a higher patron! I would love to see segments of behind the scenes. It will be very interesting to see all the work involved in producing the show! Adele
Jenny Eddington that would have been lovely but we are down in Hobart, heading to west coast next week and then back home. Lovely to “meet” another Aussie Fruity fan 🍊🍋🍊🍓🍊
Jenny Eddington we are coming back to Hobart, then direct flight to Perth. We often visit my brother here so next time we will def organise something. We went for a day trip to Ross today, I may have overspent on Whitegum Wool at the Tasmanian Wool Centre 🧶🧶🧶
Andrea, your sweater in the beginning is gorgeous! (I'm commenting while I'm watching and I'm not sure if you've shown more sweaters yet) and I am blown away how you customize the patterns to suit your gauge. So awesome! It makes me sad that Andrew doesn't pay attention when you talk. I hope that doesn't bother you, but it would me. I've noticed that same behavior in every other male /female podcast I've watched. Not trying to be mean in any way. It just makes me sad. Specifically you said something along the lines of "it's wonderful, isn't it?" and got no response. Love the podcast, thank you both for the wealth of knowledge you share.
Yes, it would be great fun to see a bit of the production side of the Fruitty Knitting. Maybe do some Q&A, and some giggle worthy out-takes. Hope you'll consider for a someday episode. Perhaps the 100th? Wink, wink
@@davidhensley76 we have thought of this. A lot of time goes into preparing the material with the guests. We like to present our guests in the best way we can and showing the preparation work with them behind the scenes would be invading their privacy.
This is a very original research project, I will surely referring this talk to my research students they can learn a great deal about the diversity of PhD topics and approaches. Would it be possible to get the website where this is published?
Can you tell me please what knitting needle you are using in this show. I noticed that the cable part of the needles is very flexible. The ones I have are about 30 years old and have never been easy to knit on as they curl and are very stiff, periodically I have to soak them in boiling water.
Hi! Michelle Wang , her name is pronounced Wong. She has a podcast and this is how she explains how her name is pronounced. Please do not take this wrong I am not being rude just hope you accept this info as helpful. You are both amazing knitters.
Very wise of you Andrew to leave the modifications to Andrea. Wish I had a such an expert at my side as I keep messing around with the math (inspired by Andrea, grin) to find my perfect fit/style. As always, I've learned a little bit more...yoke sweater row gauge importance this time. I'll have to check out EZ's book. Zoe Fletcher....wow, what a lot of knowledge there. It's made me curious about sheep around the world. How many different breeds are there? How many of them, particularly in North America, are descendants (woolly immigrants if you will) from the UK? How many are native? Intriguing questions. Thanks for another wonderful show. I also appreciate that you continue to make this available for free to all as there are many folks who love this show but cannot afford the even tiny amount of Patron cost. I am delighted that I can contribute because I see it not just helping you but also all of us who benefit from your labour of love. HUgs!

Can you show a closeup of how Andrew knits? I can’t quite picture it but it looks interesting. How did he learn to throw when you are his teacher and you are a picker?
Hi,can I ask,are or was you an opera singer Andrea,you have made a couple of references to this fact, I was just curious, especially as you play some beautiful music in your episode's 💐💐
Another great episode. Your guests are always interesting, but you have outdone yourselves this time. The Woolist is amazing. I wonder if you could ask her how many sheep breeds there are in the US? in other countries? I would love to see her continue her research in the US. I am a patreon supporter of your podcasts already but with the commitment you have made by bringing Andrew on board, I am upping my level to do my part to keep your interesting and amusing podcasts coming. Andrea, you have inspired me to make my first sweater(jumper) ! I must admit though it is a small 12-18 months size for our grandson. It is my first step to making a sweater for myself. I am learning something with every project I have undertaken. Do you have any suggestions for a first sweater project? PS love the color combination on your latest sweater.
Hi Paula, thanks for your support. Tin Can Knits have a lot of baby patterns. I haven't tried them but many people say they are well written. Rowan also puts out beautiful little books of baby and childrens clothes.
Madeleine is now studying at the University of Ulm, which is around 3 hours drive away - so we don't see her often either! But we'll see what we can do. (-;
Thanks to Zoe for all her work and passion! I would love to have all the information in a book! And thanks to Andrea and Andrew for all their work and passion.

Hi Andrea, your contrasting yarn looks great, much better than the green would have!
Bless our sheep for the beautiful wool they give us

My question is this: I'd like to really up my knitting game. Who do you recommend that has great UA-cam instructional videos? Love your show! --Beth
Whenever I need to learn a new technique I turn to “Very pink knits” on UA-cam. She gives very clear explanations and demonstrations.
Ten Rows a Day is excellent.
@@donnadecourcy7332 Suzanne Bryan has very good videos. she is a tkg, a master knitter
Joanne Young ditto on Suzanne and Very Oink Knits. Also add Rox Knits.
Hi. I just realized that Andrew is a thrower. Are you a thrower too? What made you decide to throw vs pick?
I mainly pick but I also knit with my thumb under the needle like Andrew and I also do continental.
Can you show a closeup of how Andrew knits? I can’t quite picture it but it looks interesting.
How did he learn to throw when you are his teacher and you are a picker?
Hi,can I ask,are or was you an opera singer Andrea,you have made a couple of references to this fact, I was just curious, especially as you play some beautiful music in your episode's 💐💐
I believe she was a professional pianist. There is a segment in one of the episodes of her playing, which was a wonderful treat for us all.
Actually I believe singing was her main field.
I did a performance degree on piano and voice was my second instrument and then later I concentrated on voice.
