We bring you Episode 86.

This is one of those classic episodes of Fruity Knitting, the long-running podcast that makes for the best settle-in-and-knit listening.

Episode 86 has everything: knitting talk between Andrea and her beloved husband Andrew, missed now by so many. It has Saxon sheep, Danish sailors, Christel Seyfarth, Australian shepherds, cottages made out of shipwrecks, Michelle Wang, peplums, sleeping upright, Zen, and . . .

A deep dive with our diva of delightfulness, the princess of pointy sticks: Olga Buraya-Kefelian. She appears at 8:47 in the episode.

Andrea has a way of drawing out her guests to get to the essence of what makes them special. In the case of Olga, we hear all about her thinking as a designer, with lots of show and tell of her dazzlingly inventive design work.

We are proud that Olga is the star of Field Guide No. 24: Spark. Her conversation with Andrea will give you plenty to enjoy—just click on the video up top.

  • Hi. The turnstyle wrap keeps me coming back wondering about the construction and how it would look on me. 🙂

  • For me it’s the Paragon Popover. I think it would look so chic in black over a black outfit. And I’m super curious how it’s made.

    • Paragon popover. I don’t even know if I would wear it, but very intrigued by the construction!

      • Paragon Popover. It’s on my list of things to knit. But first I have to finish a few things. There’s never enough time to knit

      • I really want to try the Spark Cuffs! So fun!

    • Penrose tote!

    • I debated on black. Am knitting it in grey as I wear a lot of blue and black and thought it would go well with both. Not quite halfway

      • I would really need to study each design and think about how the garment would work in my closet. All of them are so interesting. I think Olga is another level of genius.

      • The Fortune Teller Cuff is unique and beautiful
        Easy to wear and admire on my wrist all day!

  • The Tendril necklace still intrigues me!

    • The Paragon Popover is my next project. I’m putting off Christmas knitting so I can finish and wear it this Fall while I’m doing the Christmas knitting.

  • Though the Tendril necklace is very interesting, it is the knitting tote that caught my interest.

  • Well, of course *everything* Olga B-K designs intrigues me! But if forced to narrow it down to one design from Field Guide 24, I have to say the Tendril necklace: brilliant simplicity.

  • What a coincidence – the Penrose Bag is the one I love best! I don’t even know which I’d enjoy more, knitting it or carrying it. Will have to do both.

  • I bought one of your Penrose Tote kits and will soon be starting it but I am fascinated by the Paragon Popover, especially after watching this interview. She is an Amazing desiger!

    • And I second DOYT’s comment that Fruity Knitting fans should support it through Patreon – it is worth every penny and much more! I’ve been letting my regular magazine subscriptions expire and just enjoy Fruity Knitting episodes (and MDK Field Guides, of course) whenever I want some knitting inspiration.

  • I am totally going to knit this, love the Turnstile Wrap, but seriously I’ve been a fan of Olgas patterns for ages and always love knitting them

  • I’m wondering and musing on the Turnstile Wrap!

  • The Premrose bag sure does look interesting and different from the usual knitted bag patterns.

Although we all miss that charming interplay between the two “A” s their daughter Madeleine is doing a fine job as Andrew’s replacement and I still enjoy their polished, professional podcast. Andrea really is a wonder. Tendril is waiting in the wings. I have a few knitting commitments before then but plan to hunker down after Christmas. The Tendril being held up in the Shakerag photo was very inspiring.

  • I love the Penrose Tote!

  • That turnstile wrap still has me fascinated!

  • I love the 3D effect of the fortune teller cuff. It’s definitely on my to do list!

  • The Turnstile Wrap

  • Penrose Tote & Turnstile Wrap intrigue me most. If I made the Popover, I think I’d make it a cropped length as I have a few knit tunics that a bit shapeless & could use both a pop of colour and a bit of contrast shaping to create an illusion of “waist”…

  • I’m hoping to knit the paragon popover in a color-shifting yarn that will add additional interest along the lengthy of the “strips” of diamonds.

  • I’ve had my eyes on the Paragon Popover since I first saw it, but the cuff and Tendril are speaking to me too!

  • The tendril necklace!

  • For me the Best intrigue is the “Fortune Teller” Cuff! I work in the front lobby of my building and my hands freeze in the winter. These cuffs will be my go to for both warmth, and oh my word, style!!!

  • The design in Field Guide 24 that I would get the most use out of is the Penrose Tote, so pick me! Pick me!

  • The tote is the one for me.

  • The cuffs intrigue me the most – the blocking! But I am really looking forward to knitting this bag soon.

  • From the time I first saw the preview of the patterns both the Turnstile Wrap and the Penrose Tote have intrigued me. I have been perusing my stash looking for the perfect yarn for both and busily knitting away at my cast on and committed to finish projects to clear my needles for a cast on of one or both.

  • Turnstile Wrap- modetn but cozy! And Penrose totes- never have enough totes

  • Paragon popover calls my name! I keep coming back to it and thinking about fiber choices

  • The Penrose Tote—I can see a lot of uses for it.
