Betsy- I absolutely love your Henley sweater. What an amazimg job and it fits you so well.

[helenravine]

What a lovely Harmony section! Thank you xxx

[sadie.b.gagner]

Oh My Goodness !! THANK YOU for the lovely chatter about my Topsail Canvas bags. You are very kind. It was so much fun to be your neighbour at the PEI Fibre Festival. Lots of giggles through the curtain.

[kathleenallan]

You can replay Simone's Harbor Harmony segment anytime...!!! Betsy's You can do it sweater is so wonderful and comfy looking. Loved Simone's and Kim's sweaters as well! I'm so glad the Fiber Festival was a smashing success. Next year! ❤❤ ❤❤❤

[catnapper]

What a great episode, so much going on. You are all so cheerful, industrious, talented — and kind. Thank you.

I love your projects.

Harmony was wonderful and must have been more of Simone’s early morning run ? (I may have missed mention of that, but remember others.). Beautiful — and lovely guitar.

[catcrazy-]

Thanks to Kim for the mulberry color suggestion for kidsilk haze and kid classic, just beautiful!!

[lyndaannibal]

Thanks again for another fun Woolcast. You three are such a joy to listen to and also very inspiring. I want to do all the things.

[cynthiabroadbent]

What a fun morning knitting while catching up with you three :) Love the new quilt squares and all of the fun projects! Snowflake shawl and all of the things!

[Earthwise]

Love the new blocks. I am a hold out, I am not quite committed to a whole blanket, but I want to knit 2 or 3 pillow covers, choosing from your beautiful designs. My plan is to use Simone's for one side and Betsy's for the other side. I 'm waiting until the end of the year because it seems one month is more exciting than the other. ( and I am up to my elbows in trying to get some sweaters off my needles). Lovely job again ladies, and congrats on the successful PEI festival.

Hi ladies! I'm a toe-up sock knitter and I've recently discovered Norman from Nimble Needles' tutorials for KLL which is knit into left loop and KRL which is knit into right loop for very neat increases. For the toe increases i like to do KFB, knit front and back, since that makes it so easy to see that you just did an increase row and no one will ever see the little purl bumps that the technique creates. Kate Atherley's toe -up patterns are my go-to recipe from her book Custom Socks Knit to Fit Your Feet. Happy Sock knitting!

[anneclarkson]

Wow! I always enjoy your harmony section but this one was truly magical. Thank you.💖

[sandrachilds]

Was overjoyed to see this posted on Sunday. I was afraid it would be near the end of October before seeing you girls again. Your episodes are so full of life and fun and inspiring creations. The blocks are always, for me, works of art and the best part the collaboration between Betsy and Simone.

[starrcookson]

So great to see you all last weekend - it was a fabulous event! My Topsail Bent Threads collaboration bag (weaving on the front) is my favourite bag.

[Mary-znj]

So glad you reused Setting Day. We were in Newfoundland this summer and I bought a cd by Bob Porter and one line is about watching the boats go out. I think of this video every time I hear the song!

[nicolelafontaine]

Great to have you back so soon after the festival. You have been quite productive, so many lovely projects. Loved the harmony part.

[robinjohanson]

Thanks ladies for the lovely recap of the Fibre Festival. I was supposed to have been there, but due to a family emergency had to bow out at the last minute. Hopefully next year! Love your energy and enthusiasm!

[WendyDussault]

Hello Kim, Simon and Betsy, I just subscribed and I didn't know your names at first so for new viewers it would be helpful if you introduced yourselves. I had to go check out Fruity Knitting latest episode to find out your name Kim, that is how I came to watch your channel and I ♥♥♥ it!!!! I am a natural crocheter and it wasn't until I discovered continental knitting that I started to knit plus all the great knitting channels like yours was helpful as well. I love your banter and all the information about knitting is excellent, but what I was blown away by was knitting two sleeves at a You have a faithful follower now gals, c u next time ♥ from Alberta!!!

[nancyjohnson]

You three are such fun together! That Harmony setting day is my favorite!

[janicemacdougall]

Someday I am going to fly home to go to the PEI Fibre Festival!!! Oh, I hope there will be a knit-a-long for 2025 from Fleece & Harmony! <3 I absolutely love the 2024 PEI Blanket squares! The colors and designs are beautiful! <3

[sandramartin]

Amelia for naming the cute little bear. I was happy to see you at the festival!! I was one of the volunteers. Love your podcast!
