Happy Birthday Fiona!! The bloopers come in a close first. Being a dog lover the sheep segment and the owners trusty, rolling in...well you know... did it for me. The whole show was beautifully done, especially the little knitter and crocheter. So refreshing.🍹By the way is March 28th close enough?? ps Someone asked about the day dresses you had on, where are they from?
Fiona is lovely and tres chique in her new sweater! Thank you for yet another informative and entertaining program and for making me smile 😊 As always, looking forward to your next episode!
A Belated very Happy Birthday Fiona. You are both such a joy to watch. The knitting is fabulous and I love the cardi. Super both your interviews. What amazing people you always find. So pleased you are staying a little longer than first thought Andrea. It doesn’t change the sheer awfulness of losing Andrew but it will just give you some time to and catch your breath. I don’t have spare cash to join your patron but am watching the adverts in the hope that this will bring some revenue for you. Love you girlies big and little ones and have so enjoyed your silliness. Thank you both.
Andrea it is so nice to hear your laughter again God bless you dear love your podcast along with your sister who is an absolute joy. Together you can go places with your knitting. 😍💖
Hi Andrea, This is definitely one of my most favorite episodes of Fruity Knitting! I love the banter between you and Fiona! I thought that Steve Plummer is brilliant and has probably discovered a new art form!!! Thank you for all of your hard work and vision! I look forward to every episode!
Rastus' work is brilliant. And what a neat and tidy knitter too. I see a bright future for him. I've always loved Asian gardens and their preponderance of rounded shapes. Thank you for this segment!
I absolutely love your sister. I am so excited to have her committed to so many episodes. I hope that she will continue to co-host Fruity Knitting as your podcast (permanent) partner. She is a beginner knitter just like me, with same “problem” 😂😂. I love seeing her progress and the bravery she has in choosing patterns, colors and yarn. Thank you!! Cheers!!
Dear Andrea, I always think your podcast cannot get any better, but you outdo yourself each time! Fiona, Happy Birthday and please, stay on the podcast permanently! It is such a joy to watch you sitting on the same sofa and having the sisterly exchanges - so heartwarming! I bought a pattern from Steve! I have been ogling his patterns for quite a while, it is mindblowing.
Many thanks for another great episode. Loved the Knitters of the World segment and the Illusion Knitting segment and I really enjoyed the interaction between you and Fiona. And of course it is wonderful to see all the Australian content. I hope you're managing to avoid the flooding Byron Bay is experiencing today - stay dry, keep knitting....
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH LADIES!!!!! I AM SO VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE WORKS OF YOUR GUESTS!!! ACTUALLY I AM BLOWN AWAY!!!! WOW!!! SO EXCITED JUST TO WATCH, LISTEN AND LEARN!! THANK YOU!!!!
Fiona, you need your own show ! I'm old enough for an off color humor, knitting and cocktails podcast. I'll watch Fruity knitting and Arne and Carlos during the day and watch Fun and Games and Knitting with Fiona in the evening ! Fun episode ! I have my Plummer pattern chosen. Happy Birthday, Fiona !
What a lovely video. It was so nice to see two sisters having a laugh and being silly. Your interview with Steve Plummer was very interesting especially since I am currently knitting an illusion shawl. ❤️
I have to watch my Fruity Knitting when I can stay still for 90 minutes and focus and that doesn’t happen a lot these days. This episode was great! You ladies make such a great team. Thank you to the “bar staff” for providing the margaritas that probably bought us the funny bloopers. 🙂 The combination of designers featured really worked well together. As usual, y’all have delivered content that one has to revisit again and again. Thank you!!! ♥️♥️
Finally carved out quality time to catch up! Absolutely fascinating and another masterpiece, feeding both my brain and practice! Wishing you lots more wonderful and giggly times with your family and best of luck for Madeleine and her studies!
Such a great episode! So many talented guests and great work by you and Fiona, it’s option C on the bobble sweater, just lovely! I especially liked the “fun with margaritas” at the end of the episode! You both had me giggling as though I was having one with you, cheers ❤️
Awww... it's so great to hear you laugh, see you smile and be with your beautiful sister with whom you share admiration and love. Still in my prayers. Proud of how you have 'carried on'... proud and thankful.
Wow! Powerhouse episode!! Every segment was so interesting. You two make a great team, and I especially loved the sisterly hijinks. Best of luck to Madelaine with her work, too. And I'm so happy for you to have an extended family visit, Andrea. Thank you, as always, for your hard work to bring us the most enjoyable program on You Tube.
Happy birthday Fiona! I became a mother for the first time on March 31, 1987 to a beautiful daughter I named Crystal Jewell. Margaritas are our favorite as well! Cheers 🥂 to you on your special day!
Another perfection. The things you show are such an inspiration to learn a new thing. I truly enjoy learning from each of your fabulous guests. And both your sweaters are fabulous. Thanks for the many hours of pleasure you provide. Cheers, to the birthday girl…and, oh heck, another taste for all of you. I’m not driving!
Andrea and Fiona ~ great job! There is something about sisters (and moms and daughters). It’s like when families sing together, totally unique. This episode had everything going for it. I am no longer calling this a podcast, it is in a category all its own, and always has been. I hope you realize how much you lift spirits and take us on a creative journey. Happy Easter!
One can never be silly enough! So cheers to you ladies, cheers and Happy Birthday, Fiona! I loved this episode for these reasons: Beautiful knitting, - Fiona, your cardigan has more bubbles than I would ever use, BUT it looks very beautiful and feminine on you! Well done! Both of your dresses are so lovely, makes me wanna go an buy a bunch as well! You both look very pretty. Then the footage of the 2 "Fairies! and the Australian countryside, the sheep AND the music with it are just perfect! I find Rastus Hsu's designs very interesting, thank you for introducing him to us! Ladies, I love watching you, - it gives me joy! Stay healthy and keep on knitting!
Happy birthday, beautiful Fiona! Andrea, it is so good to see you glowing and thank you for wonderful, cheerful episode! It is so ful of Life and Love. Just love little Bush Feries, Simba is great knitter :) Blessings for all! Sister power ;) rulles!
I am just blown away by the maths using knitting. I am a passionate teacher of maths and just love this use of visuals to help students to understand new things. Great episode and I agree, Fiona is a hoot.
Option A,B and C. With knitting there is no need to choose 😂 gorgeous episode, loved it. I have decided to make myself wait and delay my watching, when it pops up on my notifications, just so I can savour the excitement 🤪
I’d say you two are a perfect podcasting duo! There’s nothing quite like a sister! I really love it and hope it continues! Each segment was fabulous and so interesting. Thank you for your continued excellent content Andrea. NOT too silly at all! I think Fiona brings out the fun and a natural at podcasting! Happy Birthday Fiona!
Wow. I am speechless...the illusion knitted works of art are just stunning! And the entire show is so inspiring and enjoyable to watch! I look forward to every episode and am so enriched by each one of them! Thank you Andrea and Fiona!
Lovely! It was lovely to see the 'big' girls again, as well as both of your beautiful knitting projects. It was also terrific to see the shadow knitting again - worth revisiting because I caught so many bits of the information he wanted to share with this 2nd viewing. Fantastic. It's so great to see you at home Andrea, enjoying time with family, perhaps healing a bit more, and bonding with the little ones. The older girls will remember this visit always but the twins will be more likely to chat' with you when you return to Germany. Because you're someone they know now, you'll be able to continue to be close with them. Awesome. Madeline is missed of course but we send good thoughts for her to get excellent marks. She's brilliant and has a terrific personality; she should make an excellent psychologist if that's what she chooses.
I am so glad to see you smiling and your sister is awesome, I wish you to move closer to your sister, so you would smile more often and Andrea maybe would start her family and not too worry about you. Love you girls.
Thanks for all the woolly goodness and giggles. Fiona my husband shares your birthday just not the year ;) and your cardi is a huge C!!! Always love the alterations you make Andrea you have such patience to knit/reknit but one can see it is soo worth your efforts as you make each knit a masterpiece.
Great episode! I have had one of Steve Plummer’s patterns in my queue forever and my 10 year old grandson just recent, asked me to make it for him (and what Nana could say no) so the interview was really timely. I just might have gone a little crazy shopping with the discount code-so thank you! I see illusion pillows and baby blankets in my queue now and a knit Rubic’s cube for the same grandson who can solve it in 16 seconds. I have also been intrigued but Hsu’s patterns, so they jumped right in my Ravelry basket and I have stash yarn ready to go. Fiona’s sweater is definitely chic, although I do predict the twins will enjoy the sensory bobbles and likely destroy a few- lol! The little knitting ad adventurers are such a joy to watch and Simba is such a great big sister. Andrea, your new sweater looks amazing! So glad to see you and Fiona having such a good time! 💕💜💙
I just celebrated my 60th birthday on March 31! The actress, singer Shirley Jones, also has a birthday on that day which I always thought was so cool! Happy birthday!
Three things I love in this podcast: 1. The bobble sweater 2. Sister power for more podcasts and 3. your laughter and joy for knitting and for life. It's good to see you smiling.
I have finally caught up with all of the episodes filmed while you were in Australia, and they have been absolutely delightful! The beauty of the area, your sweet nieces, meeting Fiona, all have been such a lovely addition to your already wonderful work. I am so glad that you have had this time at home. Lastly, the fun and slightly tipsy outtakes at the end of this episode made me giggle! I think you can have Fiona back any time, we all love her!
Andrea, so wonderful to see you laughing and loved the scenes with the bush fairies! Fiona, I wasn’t born on March 31 but gave birth to my first son on that day in1984, it’s a lovely time of year to be born. Thanks for joining the podcast!
This particular Fruity Knitting episode is extremely delightful. Fiona is charming and just the best bit of naughty to keep this knitter in "stitches." SOOOO fun - more please! The out-takes were just what I needed today.
Wowsers! An amazing episode 👏 I hope Steven's knittibg portraits Go into a museum to be preserved for future generations to enjoy!! Andrea you pick such perfect music for your shows!! Love Fiona..what a delightful sister! Her sweater looks amazing 👏 😍 Her sense of humor ...well we could be friends 😅! The lil kiddos are always adorable and amazing knitters too!! I see a future career for them in having their own podcast 🥰
It has been wonderful to see two sisters work together in such harmony and happiness. . Will miss you on the tutorials Fiona, you are so natural on the videos
Great to see you again! That sheep dog😂. Happy birthday Fiona! You amaze me with your capacity to mother your little flock, knit such lovely garments to such standards, and provide that warmth and fun Andrea deserves! God bless you!
This show is such a treat for the soul ♥️ Fiona, you’re a total natural and your cardigan is definitely option C! Andrea, it’s wonderful to see you so happy, and your new project is fabulous! Thank you both for another beautiful episode. Big hugs from the UK x
Happy Birthday, Fiona! I hope you had a great day. It was a delight to enjoy your company with Andrea on episode 120. Love your spicy nature and your "nipple-sweater" is amazing. I would not have had the patience to create all those bobbles. This episode had a delightfully balanced mix of instructive content and sisterly fun. Keep it going. Very much appreciated.
Episode 120, and you are STILL bringing new discoveries to your viewers! I had never heard of Illusion Knitting until today, and still can’t quite understand how it’s even possible 🤔. Thank you for another joyful episode Andrea and Fiona 🤩 👏🏻👏🏻
Glad to see you enjoying yourself in Australia. Andrea,you are such a plethora of knitting knowledge. Your sister is a hoot and I can’t wait to see those garments you both are knitting.
Going home to Australia has done wonders for you Andrea! Fiona seems to be an ideal counterpoint for you and quite a frisky girl! Enjoyed the podcast very much, although I'm not sure that podcasting and margaritas mix all that well. The interview with Steven Plummer was very interesting and engaging. Hugs from Virginia USA!
Loved the Rastus Hsu designs and his telling about the history of what brought him to where he is in design work. So glad you featured him in this podcast.
Wow! Andrea, what a fascinating episode! I've never been a fan of math, but I couldn't take my eyes off (well except for to look at my knitting for a sec :D ) all the beautiful illusion knitted pieces! Thank you for bringing it to all of us! I am so interested in making one of those square toys for my kids! heading over to your ravelry group! Have a beautiful day, Marina from NZ
Happy Birthday Fiona!!! Your sweater is gorgeous!!!! Loved the podcast! Beautiful knitting, Beautiful ladies, sweet girls and gorgeous scenery!!! Thanks for sharing. Andrea, So glad your spending extra days with your sister and creating such wonderful memories❤️❤️.
I started watching fruity knitting about 6 months ago when I had foot surgery and decided that knitting would be a good replacement for sewing (It was my machine driving foot). This was well after your husband passed away. I am sorry for your loss. RUclips kept putting them in the autoplay. I wasnt going to go back in time to watch them but now I'm glad I did. I feel like I knew him a little just from watching older episodes. I do miss seeing his works as I think I have a similar preference for lace and stockinette. I smile now when you say his line at the beginning of your podcasts. I'm glad he left you with many happy memories until you meet again.
Hi from New Zealand. I am a Patreon. My birthday is 30th March. And I have lusted after Illusion Knitting patterns sometime ago so looking forward to today's episode. No biggie for my birthday this year, I will work and no time off, no knitting purchases now that I have a mortgage and a already massive stash. Maybe I will get a pedicure and a nice cafe breaky. Happy Birthday Fiona !
Yes the Tenterfield district is beautiful and the town itself is well worth a visit. I’ve holidayed there several times, the latest being last January. The town makes a big deal of both Henry Parkes and Peter Allen, which makes for an interesting pair. 😀😃😃. Often it’s a bit dry, but in January after the rain it was so green. As it’s on the southern edge of the Granite Belt, there are lots of spectacular granite outcrops outside the town. Thank you for showing one of my favourite places!
Rastus Hsu's designs are fabulous. I'm also thrilled you introduced Steve Plummer and his illusion knitting works - they are masterpieces, and I recently started one of his designs - I love it!
Wonderful episode! Loved the Steve Plummer segment,such beautiful art knitting. Also am so glad to see you two sisters working together and keeping us entertained💕
Gorgeous! The modelling couldn't go wrong and the sweet little girls remind me of a small version of the two of you. So sweet and the photography and music were great. Nice new project Andrea.
We have a series of very silly bloopers right at the very end. Hope it gives you a laugh!
Happy Birthday Fiona!! The bloopers come in a close first. Being a dog lover the sheep segment and the owners trusty, rolling in...well you know... did it for me.
The whole show was beautifully done, especially the little knitter and crocheter. So refreshing.🍹By the way is March 28th close enough??
ps Someone asked about the day dresses you had on, where are they from?
It did! Enjoyed the podcast. Thanks.
I enjoyed the episode immensely and the silly bloopers at the end were like a rich whipped cream frosting. Thank you. ♥️
What precious little girls! What a lovely upbringing for them. And their new baby sisters. ❤
Fiona is lovely and tres chique in her new sweater! Thank you for yet another informative and entertaining program and for making me smile 😊 As always, looking forward to your next episode!
Option C of course! Absolutely gorgeous! Happy Birthday Fiona! 🇨🇦💚

I love the painting pictures in Steve Plummers home. Thank you.
Beautiful work ladies and young ladies.
One can never be silly enough! So cheers to you ladies, cheers and Happy Birthday, Fiona! I loved this episode for these reasons: Beautiful knitting, - Fiona, your cardigan has more bubbles than I would ever use, BUT it looks very beautiful and feminine on you! Well done! Both of your dresses are so lovely, makes me wanna go an buy a bunch as well! You both look very pretty. Then the footage of the 2 "Fairies! and the Australian countryside, the sheep AND the music with it are just perfect! I find Rastus Hsu's designs very interesting, thank you for introducing him to us! Ladies, I love watching you, - it gives me joy! Stay healthy and keep on knitting!
Thanks for the bloopers at the end! It's fun to see sisters laughing together! Wonderful episode, as always!!
The extreme knitting section, especially with the bush fairies and that music, was absolutely magical.
Lovely !! Very natural flow between you two sisters 💚.. thank you!..
Happy birthday, beautiful Fiona! Andrea, it is so good to see you glowing and thank you for wonderful, cheerful episode! It is so ful of Life and Love. Just love little Bush Feries, Simba is great knitter :) Blessings for all! Sister power ;) rulles!
I do completely enjoy your offerings! Thank you!
Fascinating episode. Loved it all but especially the Knitters of the World segment.
I am just blown away by the maths using knitting. I am a passionate teacher of maths and just love this use of visuals to help students to understand new things. Great episode and I agree, Fiona is a hoot.
What a stunning scarf/wrap designs by Rastus Hsu. Lovely to see designers from different parts of the world.
Option A,B and C. With knitting there is no need to choose 😂 gorgeous episode, loved it. I have decided to make myself wait and delay my watching, when it pops up on my notifications, just so I can savour the excitement 🤪
Wow, great episode. So much fun and amazing stuff. Absolutely loved the shadow knit, just stunning. 🥰
I’d say you two are a perfect podcasting duo! There’s nothing quite like a sister! I really love it and hope it continues! Each segment was fabulous and so interesting.

Always love the alterations you make Andrea you have such patience to knit/reknit but one can see it is soo worth your efforts as you make each knit a masterpiece.
Great episode! I have had one of Steve Plummer’s patterns in my queue forever and my 10 year old grandson just recent, asked me to make it for him (and what Nana could say no) so the interview was really timely. I just might have gone a little crazy shopping with the discount code-so thank you! I see illusion pillows and baby blankets in my queue now and a knit Rubic’s cube for the same grandson who can solve it in 16 seconds. I have also been intrigued but Hsu’s patterns, so they jumped right in my Ravelry basket and I have stash yarn ready to go. Fiona’s sweater is definitely chic, although I do predict the twins will enjoy the sensory bobbles and likely destroy a few- lol! The little knitting ad adventurers are such a joy to watch and Simba is such a great big sister. Andrea, your new sweater looks amazing! So glad to see you and Fiona having such a good time! 💕💜💙
Those buttons are to die for. Well chosen.
That cardigan is quite definitely chic. It’s worthy of the precise and careful work put into it. Congrats.
I just celebrated my 60th birthday on March 31! The actress, singer Shirley Jones, also has a birthday on that day which I always thought was so cool! Happy birthday!

I feel like I knew him a little just from watching older episodes. I do miss seeing his works as I think I have a similar preference for lace and stockinette. I smile now when you say his line at the beginning of your podcasts. I'm glad he left you with many happy memories until you meet again.
Andrea, you are really increasing your videography skills. The segment in Tenterfield was impressive. Very inspiring! 🥰
Such a fun episode! I have three sisters and know the sisterly giggles well. 😂
Fantastic video I wished I had a sister blessing sent to you both.
Hi from New Zealand. I am a Patreon. My birthday is 30th March. And I have lusted after Illusion Knitting patterns sometime ago so looking forward to today's episode. No biggie for my birthday this year, I will work and no time off, no knitting purchases now that I have a mortgage and a already massive stash. Maybe I will get a pedicure and a nice cafe breaky. Happy Birthday Fiona !
Yes the Tenterfield district is beautiful and the town itself is well worth a visit. I’ve holidayed there several times, the latest being last January. The town makes a big deal of both Henry Parkes and Peter Allen, which makes for an interesting pair. 😀😃😃. Often it’s a bit dry, but in January after the rain it was so green. As it’s on the southern edge of the Granite Belt, there are lots of spectacular granite outcrops outside the town. Thank you for showing one of my favourite places!
and I love Steve Plummer and illusion knitting, very intriguing .
Rastus Hsu's designs are fabulous. I'm also thrilled you introduced Steve Plummer and his illusion knitting works - they are masterpieces, and I recently started one of his designs - I love it!
Wonderful episode! Loved the Steve Plummer segment,such beautiful art knitting. Also am so glad to see you two sisters working together and keeping us entertained💕
Fantastic as always! I really love watching the little ones knit. Truly amazing 🤩 HAPPY BIRTHDAY FIONA!
Thank-you for another wonderful episode. X
Gorgeous! The modelling couldn't go wrong and the sweet little girls remind me of a small version of the two of you. So sweet and the photography and music were great.
Nice new project Andrea.
