The designs showed were stunning beautiful, flabbergasting ❤

What a fantastic episode! I learn so much when I watch. I will be signing up as a patreon next week.

what an amazing breathtaking episode 🎉 I am deeply humbled by that knowledge - thank you

I’ve been a long time fan of Shirley when I was knitting in my 20s in New York City, she’s fantastic and thank you for featuring her. once again another fantastic Fruity video and worth my Patreonage monthly!!

Shirley is one talented and classy designer. Learned a lot. Appreciate the beading discussion. Andrea and Madeline… your WIP tops are lovely. I was so delighted with the yarn shop visit… Why is it so fun to watch other people tour and visit in a yarn shop?! I feel I could mainline segments like this! I had let my Patreon support lapse due to some personal issues, but I’m glad to say I’m able to support you both again. Thanks for all the thoughtfulness you put into your show. It’s top-notch.

Very interesting podcast with this interview ! Marvelous work ! Bon courage Andrea, for the wedding shawl !! 🤯🤯🤯

Impressif episode,i love it,thanks so much ❤

These episodes are so helpful and enrich my knitting experience so much!!! What a talented bunch of people you see and share with us and so thankful you know these resources t help us!

What a wonderful interview! Shirley’s designs are just stunning pieces of art. ❤

I am just catching up with all the episodes and honestly I am floored by the absolute amazing content!!! Thank you. This was enjoyable, informative and has an element of fantasy in it with the beautiful styling of Shirley Paden's Design along.

Wow, dass man so wunderschön stricken kann, wusste ich gar nicht. Vielen Dank für euren wundervollen, interessanten und inspirierenden Kanal. Ein echtes Goldstück unter den vielen Kanälen hier. Richtig, richtig gut 👍👍

The amount of thought in the process of matching all the pattern details that Shirley Paden undertakes in every project is truly astounding. The time Andrea gives for Ms. Paden to explain is so valuable to every knitter and especially to designers. Thank you for this insightful interview.

A agree with all the comments below. A brilliant episode that almost brought tears to my eyes of admiration of the designs and the excellent designer!

Great episode as always, thanks a lot!

Knitting’s is a wonderful stemming, totally acceptable for most people and in many situations.

As always, another professional presentation. You ladies are so lovely. Shirley's items are stunning and such a pleasure to see the spin off creations too. Looking forward to the lace along. Thank you.

Wonderful episode thank you keep up th good work

Lovely interview, and you two are so terrific to listen to and watch. I always learn at least one thing. Just ordered Ms Paden's books, and look forward to learning how to take some of the ideas in my brain and turn them into garments.

Wow! So stunning and inspiring! I will be getting Shirley's design book ...I am hoping to get a hard copy though😊 Your design picks for your own wardrobes are always so inspiring! Keeps my heart rate up and serotonin flowing 😉❤

Impressive episode. Shirley Paden has such skills and knowledge! Thank you for bringing her to us.

Everything’s crossed and double crossed ❤

The depth of knowledge, talent, class, and luxurious beauty that Shirley Paden brings to fashion and the knitting industry is an absolute delight to learn about. Your interview was definitely one of the silver linings in the disaster created by Fiona. Madeleine, thank you for your chat about social isolation and the place of knitting as a vehicle for comfort as well as community. I find it to be so true. I’m not the chattiest person when in a group, but when my knitting group gets together, I’m perfectly happy to sit and listen to the chatter and feel a part of it all. So very happy for Sofia Capelle to have found so much love and happiness. Andrea, I have full faith in you delivering the most beautiful shawl to her beads and all!!! I purchased some laceweight yarn from Fleece and Harmony on PEI after your interview with them and I think I’ll join in your lace KAL by making a lacy shawl with it. Thanks for the push!

Good luck with the lace wedding shawl - you can do it!!!

I am overwhelmed. Your episodes are always inspiring me, and I like the way you explain every garment. And today I learnt how an «architect»/designer works. Tomorrow I will buy mohair yarn to knit a cape with tiny pearls in it. I had not heard about Shirley Paden before here in Norway. A bit funny to see yarn from Sandnes (Norway)! ❤

Shirley's work is beautiful!

That was a most interesting talk on the importance of social interactions in our knitting lives Madeleine. I learned a lot. I love your pop psychology segments. Many thanks.

Good luck with your lace wedding shawl!

Excellent , great things to aspire to!

Audience interaction totally works (for me)! I am always knitting when watching Fruity Knitting episodes - just finished a sleeve watching this episode ♥

Hi Andrea and Madeline, thank you both for again a very inspiring episode. It enriches my knitting life incredibly. I have watched all your podcasts, and recently started them again for the second time. Even then, learning things and getting new ideas. I am pleased to have become a patreon, so i can support all your work a little bit. Warm greetings from the netherlands, Dinah

Thank you for your support. It allows us to keep producing the show.

My goodness! I want to knit everything Shirley Paden has designed! Have to watch this episode again - thank you for featuring her! 🌞🧶💕

Good grief - Madeleine your comments about knitting together is so true - I joined a new embroidery class about 2 years ago as my teacher moved far away and I felt bonded to the new ladies quite quickly - it really makes sense!

Hello from Belgium, I am juste begginer at knitting but I completely fallen in love with it. Your video is very good quality, interesting and motivating. I really enjoyed ❤ thank you very much.

WOW!!!!! I have never heard someone relate architecture to knitting before. I feel so understood 🥹. I am an architecture student (after years of working in construction) and I will be writing my thesis on how knitting relates to architecture. Lovely interview thanks so much ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'm just getting caught up on this and the most recent episode. I have admired Shirley Paden's patterns for years and haven't had the determination to knit one yet. Perhaps I can chose one as an upcoming project so that I can experience all of the detailed planning and beauty she includes in every one of her designs. Thanks so much for this interview-it was wonderful!

I love all the episodes of Fruity Knitting and this was a fabulous one! I did not know about the work of Shirley Paden but now I want to buy her books! She seems like a lovely woman and her designs are so beautifully elegant, with interesting choices of shapes and great uses of all the knitting techniques - truly fascinating. Thank you very much to Madeleine and Andrea for your passionate work and for sharing the fiber arts love to all of us. ❤

What a great measurement demonstration with Shirley. Thank you!

Bravo! ms Paden is an amazing resource and a lovely woman. I’m in awe of her skills as a knitter and her knowledge of the fit and finish of the garment. Her consideration of the lace pattern in conceiving a desired outcome is genius , inspired and inspiring.

This is such a helpful episode. I have been looking for a book to help me with adjusting or designing patterns. Thank you as always for a great episode!

Thanks for yet another episode. And WOW, the wedding shawl looks amazing. My husband and I are also coming to the wedding (down from Norway). Look forward to meet you there.

Wonderful interview

Your talk about guage in lace is spot on. Thank you!

excellent show ladies. So professional and insightful. Thank you for all your hard work.

This is amazing! 💚🧶💚

I absolutely over this episode! Everything came together so beautifully- the garments, the tips, the music, the designs - everything! Miss Paden has mastered the craft. I appreciate all of the work that you and Madeline put into each episode. Thank you!!❤❤

I love all your programs, but this one stands out for elegence, collaboration of designers and brilliant creativity. Thank you to you all.

OMG! Such a treat to watch this episode. So inspirational. And those models are so gorgeous. Good luck on the wedding shawl. Can't wait to see it. Thanks for bringing Shirley Paden into my life.

Beautiful 👌👌👌

I love the interview with Shirley Paden. She is really a great designer as you ad so much on FruityKnitting, famos and not famos! 🧶

What a fabulous episode! Shirley's designs are breathtaking and so is the depth of her knowledge. I must buy her books and knit at least one of her designs. What an inspiration! ❤

What a wonderful episode. Thank you for sharing so much practical wisdom with us as we work on our patterns. Looking forward to getting the book. As it always is with your Podcasts, this is a highlight of my day.

During CoVid while my knitting group no longer met, (at the beginning of CoVid 2020) I joined a knitting Zoom just by seeing that there was one at a knitting shop website way across the U.S. in Virginia. And began learning to spin at the wheel with a Zoom teacher. After this, more and more social knitting Zooms began (at least in the US) and at the end of the pandemic, I Zoomed with 4 groups, spread over a week in different parts of the country, but people from all over the country join in each one. All those I meet with are varied in their fibre interests, so everyone learns tons and picks up so much with on going knowledge. It's lovely for people who are more outgoing and for people who are quiet and just knit and mainly observe and listen. Something in a fibre Zoom group for everyone.

Such an informative and entertaining episode as always. Love the adding beads to knitware and the totally amazing garments from Shirley's inspirations. ❤

Wow....I am stunned by Shirley's level of talent and creativity and those inspired by her. Absolutely amazing! Well done!! This was jaw-dropping for me.

Love the cinna top, I ordered the pattern , now to find the ideal yarn for it. Also, I just ordered Shirley Paden"s first book! The paperback edition( I prefer a real book in my hands) Andrea thank you for scrolling through the book , it looks fantastic! Have a lovely summer ladies, enjoy the heat! Donna

You both provide such high quality content, educational and entertaining. I am always impressed. Good luck with the wedding shawl. Ich drücke Dir die Daumen!

Just the best episode ever! Shirley Paden’s work has long been inspirational for me. We share a particular love of fancy stitchwork married to classic garment shaping. As a seamstress who drafts my own patterns and knitter who wants to expand my design knowledge, this episode has gotten me very excited. I wish I were younger so I could launch a design career.

A wonderful episode. I enjoy the interviews quite a bit. They add knowledge to my crafty brain.

Brilliant episode. I don’t know if our heart beat aligned but l do know that l await each episode with anticipation and it is like catching up with a dear friend. Thanks Andrea and Madeleine.

Oh Man! How I would love to take a class with Shirley! To gain confidence in my measurements, ideas, and designs! Priceless!

What a great interview with Shirley and amazing designs. Thank you! I have added several of her patterns to my knitting queue and thanks for the amazing discount!

Your episodes are always so informative and inspirational, and this was the best one ever!!

Great episode as usual. Both your wips have amazing summery colours!!! I enjoyed a lot the pop psychology section and the interview with Shirley Paden was amazing. I loved her designs!!! Looking forward to watching your next episode. Have a nice summer 🏖🏜👕🧶

Amazing? What a beautiful episode: those knitting dresses are so elegant: lovely work!

I admire your ambition. I look forward to seeing your wedding shawl develop. Thank you for the excellent interview!

An all-around great episode. Ms. Paden and her designs are such an inspiration, and the section on measurement was so helpful to a knitter like myself, who is trying to move past the gigantic sweatshirt phase and into a more elegant, tailored style. Terrific show!

That was a really fabulous and luxurious episode; cashmere , pearls, lace and floatiness. I loved it. Thanks for such a wonderful interview with Shirley Paden. I also thought the knitting psychology section was great Madeleine.

What a fantastic episode. I've long admired Shirley Paden and the gorgeous designs. I bought her first book many years ago. I have sewed since I was 11 and learned to tailor my clothes a few years later. I learned to knit, crochet, etc. very young but struggled with fine finishing my knitted items - it's one of the reasons I love Shirley's designs, they are so beautifully finished.

Great episode❤

What a lovely gracious woman is designer Shirley Paden and her garments are incredible as is the inspiration and guidance she provides to release the creativity of the people she works with. Thank you so much . Also really enjoyed Madeline's discussion around loneliness and social interaction. The physiological mirroring involved is fascinating.

A brilliant and hugely informative episode - thank you so very much. Shirley Paden is such an inspiration! Her outstanding knowledge and eye for detail makes me want to aim for greater perfection and try new techniques … not least learning to measure properly! Madeleine you have grown into your role so perfectly! Your contributions are interesting and informative and your knitting projects, like Andrea’s are just beautiful! I’m looking forward to seeing the wedding shawl - what an amazing gift!

This is an incredible episode ladies. Thank you so much.

oh that montage ith the knits and the amazing music.... beautiful! Really enjoying this episode!!

Hello, you two absolutely lovely and sparkling ladies, you are always such a tremendous inspiration and are always absolutely wreathed in beauty. Who better than to interview the inimitable, elegant Shirley Paden. I love being a Patron and now feel doubly gifted that you are presenting this. Thank you so much.

What a wonderful journey with Shirley, so many beautiful knits, ideas, tips and tricks, and oh those pearls, WOW!

Another wonderful episode. Each episode increases my knowledge, inspiration and joy in knitting. I've added new books to my library and new skills through the projects I've chosen from watching each episode. You, Andrew and Madeleine have become my knitting companions and as each episode ends, I send my warmest regards and best wishes to you both.

Thank you so much for doing this interview it was a real treat 😊

Fingers crossed for the wedding shawl 🤞🤞🤞 What a wonderful idea!

Thanks for another wonderful episode. I knit a 7 foot beaded lace chuppah for my daughter's wedding! By the end I was only able to do a row or two an evening and I needed 4 60 inch needles to hold the row. But I got it done on time and I'm sure you will too!

Always enjoy your show. Thank you for your hard work. I do miss your sisters and your sweet nieces knitting at the end of the show.

Oh My such Exquisite knitting designs. ❤ So so sad, two years running for the Prince Edward Fibre festival to be cancelled.😢

Absolutely gorgeous garments, lovely show as usual. Thank you

Thank you SO much for the Shriley Paden interview. I've loved her books for years, but never seen her in person or on video. What a charming, knowledgeable, and empowering presence! Her confident and calm demeanor makes me feel like I can accomplish whatever I set out to do. I've just signed up to be notified of her next Design-a-Long, and am eager to get her Knitwear Design Workshop out again as I just purchased some yarn with the intention of designing a sweater. Perfect timing! P.S., Madeline looks amazing in that lace dress!

Thank you, Andrea and Madeline, for this lovely interview with Shirley. ❤❤❤I t was nice to see her playful side come out when she drew the imaginary tear down her cheek after Andrea announced the cancellation of the festival - that was so unexpected. 🙂The Pop Psychology information had so many good things for us to think about and I thank you, Madeline, for presenting it. 👍👍

Thank you! Wow! :)

What a wonderful instructive episode! 1:18:19

Brilliant episode and so inspirational and a huge thank you for all those design tips, Shirley is amazing. I also send thanks to Madeline, for pointing out how knitting can help with social anxiety, which I suffer from and she is spot on x ❤

Best wishes to you and goodness fill you as you work on this beautiful shawl😅😊

Thank you!

Dankeschön für das neue Video . Shirley Padens Strickdesign ist sehr schön, feminin und edel, genau mein Geschmack.

Hi, Andrea and Madeleine. Thank you for the awesome interview with Shirley Paden. She is certainly a very talented designer. I love each of your summer WIPS❤️❤️

What a wonderful interview! I am a big fan of Shirley's first book and often consult it for measurements and technique. She is a true superstar! And so are you Andrea and Madeleine for bring us so much knitting joy!!!!

Why I have never heard of Shirley Paden is shocking in the knitting experience so far. So glad to have had the opportunity to get to know about her and her designs.

Wow! Really great episode. So much incredible content and information. THANK YOU!

Shirley Paden is absolutely mind blowing! Wow, her knowledge and process are very impressive. The garments shown were all stunning. Far above my level of knitting, but inspiring all the same. Thank you for another wonderful episode.

Thank you Andrea and Madeleine for a fantastic video! I loved the wonderful interview with Shirley, the beautiful knitwear designs, and the interesting psychology lesson!! ❤️

A really great episode full of inspiration and information. Good luck with the shawl Andrea. 🇬🇧

Love the bright colours of your summer projects, and so happy that pop-knitting psych is back!

Given that I have been knitting from charts for decades I did learn today that I am not as smart as I think I am. A simple cable pattern on Ghostwood mittens which I have knit several times gave me the false confidence to assume reading the chart was really not required. HA! I had to rip back 3 times before it became clear that I was an over confident smarty pants. I look forward to Saturday with Fruity Knitting when I have the house and laptop to myself and can enjoy your wonderful presentations. Every July I give myself a knitting treat and binge watch all episodes from the beginning.

Thank you Andrea and Madeleine for yet another wonderful video with so much inspiration! Your level of care and professionalism has no equal and I always learn something new!
