My daughter wanted the intarsia cardigan 90s inspired one in squares . Debbie is always my favourite artist in knit 🧶. Wonderful interview thank you ☺️
I loved the toy tutorial. Good job Madeleine and Andrea. The interview with Debbie Bliss was very lovely. I love your show! I’m going to up my patronage to the next level. The constant awesome show content is worth it.
Amazing show as always. Ans wasn't Debbie Bliss just so,lovely. Great job Madeleine on the chest set. It looks brilliant, gloved handlers only I say too. Thanks so much for all you do x ❤
Late in coming to watch Debbie Bliss better late than never how fabulous to see her & listen what a remarkable lady loved your interview My mother over 55 yrs ago said to me “ You will never be alone with a ball of wool & some needles “ how right she was Debbie said the knitting community is fantastic , especially with RUclips I have virtual knitting friends across the world Absolute godsend during covid lock down knitting crochet kept me sane in isolation I made many gift knits shawls hats fingerless gloves etc another mum quote “ busy hands calm brain “ Thank you Debbie we are much of an age but you have my beloved Mums philosophy ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Andrea and Madeleine for this beautiful episode. ❣I'm amazed at how much work it has taken to knit and then sew on all the parts and accessories of the chess set!!! The outcome is awesome!!! ♟♟♟
Tell Debbie there is an ice cream name for that blue yarn " Blue Moon"! I used to eat it as a child. I love Debbie Bliss and knitted some of her patterns for my grandkids. Love your shows and always learn so much.
One of the first knitting books I bought when I get back into knitting was by Debbie Bliss (Cotton Knits for All Seasons) and one of the first “good” yarns I bought was her Baby Cashmerino. This show was such a special treat! Thank you!
Finally managed to put quality time aside to catch up before your new episode… simply tremendous, I am in awe of all of you, ladies! Even watched the interview parts twice, such amazing conversations around passion and life, thank you!
When I first started knitting I knit three Debbie Bliss pattens 20 years ago! This was a delight to watch and she a gem in this community. I’m so thankful for her passions in the industry which led the way for it to be what it today. I’m still knitting today because of my success back then! I wore two of my DB patterns last year to Rhinebeck (from 20 years ago) and they were both recognized! That’s impact!
What a treat indeed! Though I'm not a knitter, my favorite is everything crochet from Amigurumi to socks... Always looking forward to your next episode. Already excited about the yarn festival in Germany (my home country) 🥰🧶
Wow. Debbie Bliss has so much energy and vitality. Great lady. The second interview was marvelous. What a lovely, gritty, funny, feisty, down to earth woman. So interesting to hear the other side of the story of such a world-renowned knitwear designer. The Great British sense of humour also to the fore with her travails with cancer. Thankyou so much for this interview. Also beautiful insights into LoveCrafts.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Andrea !! I always recalled we share our birthdate which made me feel i was in very 'auspicious' company - that of a highly talented woman - Hope you have a great day in your part of the world ! I am in the SW of WA.
Amazing episode! Your sweater looks really beautiful, you did a great job as always and of course Madeline's chess set looks fantastic but I am not envying her, or you, since you are helping, for having to knit, and put together all those tiny pieces 🧥♟🧶Also, I loved the interview with Debbie Bliss 🧶🧶🧶 Always looking forward to your episodes, like I'd do for a favorite, and good quality magazine. Thanks for all the effort you put on this. Till next time 📰🧶🧶
Debbie Bliss is One of my favourite designers. I have several of her Aron style sweaters in my queue. I will now try out some of the baby items for my new nephew.
Love the "behind the scenes" snippets, and always so happy to take in all the wonderful knowledge and fibery goodness you present. Ms Bliss is gorgeous, and so self-effacing. Thank you so much, and I'm so happy to be a patron of such terrific programming.
This was a very inspiring Episode. Thsnk you very much I did not know about the Swiss Yarn Festival. I only live 2 hrs. away near the Swiss border. I have just bought the ticket for Sunday. I would be thrilled to meet you or other "fruity knitters" there. I am really excited about it. ❤ You should sell fruity knitting buttons so we can recognize each other at shows. 😅
That blue sweater is heavenly. Oh those chess pieces are just adorable. Debbie Bliss is so down to earth, her patterns are amazing. Another great episode!
That was wonderful. When I first discovered your channel I binge-watched all the existing episodes. So nowadays it‘s very hard to wait one month for a new one. But it is always sooo worth it. Thank you so much, Andrea and Madeleine.
I love the relax feel of your interviews and I love that you are including some set up shots and end the video's with a after take. You and your daughter and sweet Andrew are very professional at what you are doing and I will support you as I can your program is worth every cent!!!!♥♥♥
Yes my first thought at seeing this episode was Debbie Bliss is a real person?! I thought it was just a fun name. Glad we can get to know such an early pioneer better
Thank you ladies for a wonderful episode! So lovely to get to know Debbie Bliss and now I feel I must support Love Crafts as much as possible. Cannot wait to go through her patterns and purchase the perfect yarn. Thanks again and have a lovely time at the Swiss Festival!
Andrea, I love your Maeron sweater. I've been inspired to knit one also. Likely I will be having to rework the according to my gauge as the yarn I have is a bit different than the one called for. As for seed v. moss stitch - I always thought seed stitch was done over 2 rows, and moss stitch done over 4 rows. Romi Hill has a Tutorial on her RUclips channel on the modified 3 needle bind off that I found much simpler than the one you demonstrated. She used it on her latest sweater design, and I found it to be an elegant detail. Lastly, I love Debbie Bliss's designs for babies and children. I knit the Cow-all-in-one suit from her book Kid's Country Knits for my cousin's first daughter. That was over 20 years ago. My cousin saved it and sent it onto my brother when his first child was born, and I think each of his kids has gotten a chance to wear it. It is an absolutely charming pattern.
This was one of my favorites episodes. Debbie Bliss is such a lovely, warm personality. I so much enjoyed the second part interview of her speaking of her personal cancer journey and her career journey. This is the second time that I have watched. Thank you for sharing her with us!
Thank you for sharing the modified 3-needle bind-off. Just in time too! I have a throw that has two panels that have to be grafted together. The pattern suggests using Kitchener stitch. The modified 3-needle bind-off gives a beautiful finish.
Thank you for another great episode, it was wonderful to have these interviews. One little correction - Devon is in the South West of England but great to give John Arbon wool a mention. Happy knitting, I look forward to many more videos
Fantastic show!! Love everything, and your new projects are stunning (sweater) and really fun (chessmen). I have been knitting Debbie Bliss patterns and yarn for at least 30 years, have 14 books. It was fabulous to meet her on your show. I can’t thank you and her enough for the interviews. I am really overwhelmed. Thanks!!!❤
A wonderful episode! I am always interested in how a designer or artist works and love the talk about how ideas come about, the sketches and the challenges. I was surprised to hear and also a bit reassured when Debbie Bliss said she had all the ideas but getting them knit up were the great challenge. I feel this way about my art. Thank you Debbie Bliss and Fruity Knitting for your wonderful and inspiring videos! I also especially liked that you kept in the behind the scenes footage too. It makes it feel so real for us viewers.
What a lovely lady (Debbie Bliss) not forgetting yourself Andrea. By coincidence, I am sitting here knitting with Debbie’s Fine Donegal - lovely yarn xxx
This was beyond brilliant. Well done to you all. Just fabulous. Loved Debbie Bliss patterns and yarn since she first started - all those years ago. Also well done to Madeleine for finishing the amazing chess set.❤
The very first thing I knitted was a Debbie Bliss pattern. I needed a lot of help from my mum and I learnt a lot. She’s always had the most gorgeous pallet of colours for her yarn. It was love at first sight and led to a lifetime of knitting. Thanks for interviewing her. Just wonderful.
Debbie Bliss’s book: How to Knit is my go-to book about knitting. I taught myself to do Entrelac using her FABULOUS instructions. The instructions and illustrations are flawless. And like all her books, the photos are delicious!!! Thank you for sharing her!!
Lovely episode! Both the jerseys you're wearing are simply drop dead gorgeous. Thnk you for bringing us Debbie Bliss. I wanted to knit absolutely everything she showed us! Have invested in a coule of patterns - I do appreciate the discounts. And I loved the second interview. Could have listened to you chat for hours.
Wonderful episode Andrea and Madeleine! Loved it all. The beautiful Maeron sweater; the chess set; and the interview with Debbie Bliss. I appreciate how you broke the interview down in two parts; the knitting and technical and the personal. Debbie is such a gracious, talented person/knitter. Love your show. ♥
I'm looking forward to the Swiss yarn festival presentation. You do wonderful travel and musical videos. The yarn vendor market makes a colorful and exciting background for any new products to be demonstrated. Thanks for the interview with Debbie Bliss was lovely.
Loved this episode. The interview with Debbie Bliss was wonderful. I have had the privilege of meeting her & being part of a talk she gave some years ago. She hasn't changed at all , apart from her smart haircut😀 Loved the more raw filming style. Great podcast ladies.x
My knitting student and I are watching this as we put together Debbie's knitted Christmas Wreath from her fall winter 2013 magazine! We love her patterns.
fantastic episode!!!! thanks so much Andrea and Madeleine xxx. Debbie has such great style - that gorgeous navy blue shirt and the (?)lapis ring - love!!!!
I absolutely LOVED the camera still rolling at the end of the interviews! It made me feel I was part of the intimate connection with you both 🤝 As always, I love Fruity Knitting, I’m proud to be a patron and you always introduce me fantastic people and places! I’m so grateful (I do miss Madeline’s psychology spots- where she teaches us a bit from her university studies!)❤
Really enjoyed hearing your discussion with Debbie Bliss. Over the years I have knitted many of her patterns for babies and children. A great video cast. 🇬🇧
This was a wonderful episode..I really enjoyed the interviews with Debbie Bliss. She was someone that inspired me to knit early on and still does. She is an icon that really relates to the knitter and people. 😊❤
Hello, Andrea and Madeleine. I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Andrea, your blue sweater is so elegant… Madeleine modelled it perfectly. The chess board and players are fantastic. I can understand that they were each a lot of work. AND… both parts of the Debbie Bliss interview were wonderful! Thank you so much. I look forward to seeing your Swiss video❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏
What a brilliant interview with Debbie Bliss. Thank you so much for bringing it to us. What a lovely lady - you seemed to bring out the best in each other. Wonderful!😊
So great to have discovered fruity knitting. I love your interviews especially this one with Debbie Bliss and of course the chess set is wonderful fun!
This was such an outstanding episode. Thank you both for your dedication, professionalism, thoroughness, creativity, and also for providing such great information and entertainment. The rundown of how your jumper was knit was so informative and interesting. The demonstrations of knitting techniques are very helpful and clear. Thank you for being such an asset to the knitting community.
One of Debbie’s baby knits books got me knitting again as well. I still have several of her books, and used them until my granddaughter was 10 or 11. She is a wonderful designer, and her instructions are excellent and easy to follow.
I think this was the best interview I've seen FN do, just loved finally meeting the wonderful Debbie Bliss and feel her energy for life and the humour that she sees it through. So enjoyable. Love to you both 💖💖
It’s always a pleasure to watch Andrea’s interviews. Debbie Bliss was first introduced to me by my closest friend from university. As a single mum studying for her PhD, dealing with cancer and very young twins my friend took immense delight in immersing herself in knitting lovely clothes for her children from your patterns and yarns. A precious gift to me from her was a book of your patterns. The twins will be 21 this April 2023 and I still smile when I hear your name Debbie. Andrea, your newest knit is very pretty and suits you beautifully. As for the zippered jacket Andrew made for Madeleine, it is one of the most thoughtful gifts from a daughter to her mother. What a beautiful relationship you have. Thank you again for your wonderfully detailed and thoughtful interview, Debbie’s honest and sincere responses and your bravery.
Your interview with Debbie Bliss was marvolous! So fun to watch. She is one of my favorites. I met her many years ago. My favorite of her books are the layette and her baby cashmerino yarns!!
Thanks for the tip about Roxanne. She's been my go-to for knitting troubles for quite a while. You, on the other hand, are the one who's upped my knitting skills so that I even knew to go get help! Appreciate you so much.
I too was inspired to pick up knitting needles by Debbie Bliss about thirty years ago. I still go back to her books often . Love this interview and will watch it again! Thank you ❤️🧶
I loved this episode. I have some Debbie Bliss books, but have never seen an interview with her. She's so lovely. Thank you. I also love your Maeron sweater, and am inspired to make one.
Wonderful to see you both. Beautiful interview with Debbie Bliss. My current project is a crochet blanket using all the bits left over from knitting projects. I am thinking about adding some embroidered flowers! I am pleased to have my plan validated by Debbie Bliss. I’m not really good at crochet so I thought the embroidery would cover some inconsistencies. Thank you.
Thank you to You and especially to Debbie Bliss for these lovely interviews and segments. I believe Debbie Bliss was the first knitting designer I really fell in love with, way back when I was half my age , before having a child and moving to the USA. I brought some of her books with me overseas and I have memories of knitting some of her great designs. Her achievements are well deserved! Congratulations to Madeleine for her chess pieces, they are little masterpieces….
My daughter wanted the intarsia cardigan 90s inspired one in squares .
Debbie is always my favourite artist in knit 🧶.
Wonderful interview thank you ☺️
What incredible women you all are! Thank you! I really love your stunning blue garment and the chess figures. Best to you!
Wow! Debbie Bliss is amazing! Thank you so much for introducing us to so many knitting icons.
And I love seeing all of your projects…

Absolute godsend during covid lock down knitting crochet kept me sane in isolation I made many gift knits shawls hats fingerless gloves etc another mum quote “ busy hands calm brain “ Thank you Debbie we are much of an age but you have my beloved Mums philosophy ❤❤❤❤❤

I love Debby Bliss and I love her yarn. WOWOWOW on the chess set.
The smock behind you. OMG. I love it. I’ve had an image of a similar smock in my Pinterest favs for years. One day I’ll make it
I never knew enough about Debbie Bliss and her patterns but I am certainly a fan now!. Placed 3 orders for yarn and patterns.
Tell Debbie there is an ice cream name for that blue yarn " Blue Moon"! I used to eat it as a child. I love Debbie Bliss and knitted some of her patterns for my grandkids. Love your shows and always learn so much.
I got inspired on Debbie Bliss chevron pattern sleeveless top...knitting that now. Decided to RUclips...wonderful chat. Thank you!
Such a delight. I love supporting your channel.

One of the first knitting books I bought when I get back into knitting was by Debbie Bliss (Cotton Knits for All Seasons) and one of the first “good” yarns I bought was her Baby Cashmerino. This show was such a special treat! Thank you!
Debbie Bliss is a hoot! Wouldn't you like someone like her show up to your knit-night!
That sweater is gorgeous. Madeline is lovely in it.

Debbie Bliss is just a wonderful person, not only as knit designer but a truly wonderful person, a wonderful outlook on life & good advice
This was such an outstanding episode. Thank you both for your dedication, professionalism, thoroughness, creativity, and also for providing such great information and entertainment. The rundown of how your jumper was knit was so informative and interesting. The demonstrations of knitting techniques are very helpful and clear. Thank you for being such an asset to the knitting community.
Wonderfully inspiring interview. Thank you for introducing us to all these amazing designers. Looking forward to the next one.
I just loved Debbie Bliss, she's so warm and charming! Thanks for interviewing her.

Debbie Bliss is such an icon and your interviews with her give us a glimpse into just how charming she is! Love this.
Was pretty chuffed to see a book by fellow Canadian Alice Munro on her side table! Great interview
I too was inspired to pick up knitting needles by Debbie Bliss about thirty years ago. I still go back to her books often . Love this interview and will watch it again! Thank you ❤️🧶
Lovely episode! Thank you ❤
Started learning knitting from Debbie Bliss baby knitting books. Love Debbie calculating patterns as the beginner.
Great interviews with Debbie Bliss, fantastic!
Wonderful interview and podcast! Well done to you all: Debbie Bliss, Andrea and Madeleine!
I loved this episode. I have some Debbie Bliss books, but have never seen an interview with her. She's so lovely. Thank you.
I also love your Maeron sweater, and am inspired to make one.
Wonderful to see you both. Beautiful interview with Debbie Bliss. My current project is a crochet blanket using all the bits left over from knitting projects. I am thinking about adding some embroidered flowers! I am pleased to have my plan validated by Debbie Bliss. I’m not really good at crochet so I thought the embroidery would cover some inconsistencies. Thank you.
My favourite designer EVER. She’s been my inspiration in all my knitting work❤❤❤
Thank you to You and especially to Debbie Bliss for these lovely interviews and segments.
