    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 ❤❤❤❤❤

    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!

    @TheKnittingTexan Год назад

    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!

  • @christineslocum-wahl1063

    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.

    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 📰🧶🧶

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. 😅

    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!

  • @vivienneshen8189
    @vivienneshen8189 Год назад

    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!

    @colettemoolman4410 Год назад

    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.

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!!!❤

    @ThePattiw Год назад

    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.

    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.

    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.

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….
