If you hadn't said you were 40, I would have guessed more like 29! I sure hope you reach your goal and get to run the marathon. I can't imagine running that far I really liked the Book Club anniversary cake, but now that I see the Birch Bark, wow. Can't wait to see what you make with it. A cardigan would be nice, I bet.
Hey Nick, my little Puffling!!! Greetings from North Staffordshire here in the UK. Great video as always, so much lovely yarn, wish we had such a great choice here. Love the birchbark anniversary cake, great colours. Will be very interested to see what you end up making with the various yarns and colours. Have a great weekend and belated happy birthday greetings. xxx
Hi Nick, thanks for the video. I love watching unboxings of scrumptious yarn. Hmmmm I think my favourite has to be the Anniversary Birch colours. Will be cool to see what you make with this pretty yarn.🧶🥰
The cowl turned out nice. That isn't a color i would choose but i ended up liking it. Ive learned so much from creative grandma & her yarn swatches have taught me a lot about yarn, colors & what different stitches can do for a yarn & color.
I’ve learned a lot watching Creative Grandmas channel. Same thing I never would buy these yarns till she shows what they look like worked up. ❤😊 That burnt orange is gorgeous. You crochet beautiful projects. Love watching your videos. ❤❤😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉
I love love that burnt orange yarn from Micheal’s that cowl is stunning. Going out to get some today. Wow ! I love it❤️ I love that open stitch you used. I watch Creative Grandma I love watching them do those stitch videos. It’s amazing how different the yarns look with different stitches. It’s fascinating.
Oh Nick, you have no idea what you’ve unleashed! I went to Tennessee over Spring Break with my family and visited the Smoky Spinnery in Gatlinburg and they had it all. I came home with beautiful fibers and my drop spindle and 7 months later I am loving it all! My husband bought me an electric spinner, check out Dreaming Robots. I have the EEW 6.1 and I love it but first, learn how to spin. BTW, I have that book, love it. I love to crochet using my own yarn. Enjoy, Aura!
OMG that's amazing! I know I'm in trouble. I haven't even started with the drop spindles yet and already I'm looking at spinning wheels and e-spinners!
Just found you today and watched this video and was a subscriber within the first few mins. You have such a calm vibe about you. I have been crocheting for about two years and love watching others' enjoyment of the craft. Thanks for your video. 😃
You just took the words out of my mouth, lol!! I was going to suggest C2C with those Anniversary cakes. I think those types of colorways work so beautifully with C2C!! You're from Jersey? I'M from Jersey!! Grew up in Linden, but moved around a few times as I got older. In 2009, I finally moved out after 55 years of NJ and moved to NC. No regrets!! People are much friendlier here. And I love Bluegrass music which isn't as popular in NJ as it is in NC. I'm new to your channel and enjoying what I am seeing! Pleasure to meet cha!! 😊
You are so adorable! I have a yarn obsession also. My youngest son has peak down that rabbit hole but did stick with it. I love the way you present yourself and all you are showing . Keep up the good work. I look forward to all your podcasts. I ramble so I’m just going to say GOOD LUCK IN THE MARATHON👌😊
the intro 😆 I think we all crochet and knit lovers been there more or less 😅 I put myself on a "yarn ban" since this simmer and trying to use up most of my stash before I buy any yarn... so I watch yarn hauls of other people sometimes 😅 I LOVE plants too 🤍🤎 I really like the colours of that birch bark yarn would make a beautiful blanket or maybe a kimono :)
Thanks for the heads up Micheal’s has the anniversary cakes back in. I thought that would not happen. Ordering some today. I want to make that blanket you made out of the bookmark one. Love that open ended stitch dying to try it cause yours are so gorgeous. ❤😊
Ahhh I'm excited for you! I'm making another one right now using the Birch Bark colorway (just don't tell Andrew that I started another project instead of finishing his blanket!!) :-)
What does FOMO stand for? Those Anniversary cakes are girnormous!! I love that open block cowl you made, it worked very well with the colorway that you used! Will you show us how to do that stitch? I enjoyed seeing your yarn haul!! I love it ALL!! ❤
Love the Burnt Orange yarn,. I to am into earth tones. Can't wait to see what you make with those great yarns. Did I miss a video where you brought the plant back into the house?
lol,welcome to the club! I tell myself the same thing, Much worse addictions to have than yarn. I also bought the same 3 colorways of Anniversary cakes. Haven't done anything with them yet. I have Tunisian crocheted for years. I have 4 different sets of interchangeable hooks. By far, my favourite set is a metal set from Ali Express (they also have them on Temu now). Extremely good price and so nice to work with. Only downside is they don't have a 12 mm hook.
Join the club I’ve done the same thing . Glad I’m not the only one that’s bought tons of yarn. My family thinks I’ve gone nuts. These yarns are so addicting.I’m looking forward to seeing all the beautiful things you will be making. ❤️❤️👍😁 Love your wonderful videos.
You can still find the Aniversery Cakes at Michael's at my local Michael's here in South Florida. I was in there yesterday, and they had two colorways I only saw four skeins. Now I'm thinking I should have bought them, but I promised no more yarn till I make a sizeable dent in my stash.
Me, watching this while wearing the Birch Bark raglan I made while also working on a blanket in the Book Club colorway: hell yeah Caron cakes. You pointing out that it was 1 full kilometer of yarn blew my mind 😅
Hello Nick, I just found you and I’m glad I did 😊 loving the Impressions yarn, I hadn’t seen it before! Rootbeer and Basil in my cart ! 2 of each right now though lol 😉our prices here in Canada are bit more.
Hello, new subscriber here. I'm Sandy from Crochet Eh Canada on YT. I am working with the Anniversary cake as I am watching this. I'm using Hocus Crocus (purple one) and am making a sweater. I think I might be able to get a couple sweaters out of one cake. I made a chunky sweater a few years ago when the cake first came out and did a tutorial on it. I had a ton of yarn left over so I am going to see how many I can get out of this one. Can't wait to see what you make! Blessings
Hey Nick I’m actually crocheting a blanket out of James C Brett marble chunky . It works up exactly like your cowl scarf, and looks beautiful. I live in the UK so I’m not sure if you can get where you are, best of luck Nick try it x❤
I made an open C2C queen size throw with the Caron anniversary cake in Birchbox using your tutorial! I would suggest Tunisian crochet scarf using the latte cake 😇😇
Nothing wrong with yarn shopping. Especially if the yarn is on sale. Your cowl turned out to be very pretty, that colorway would not have caught my eye but the salt water taffy would. I just ordered yarn from mary maxim last weekend. They had a weekend sale and I just could not help myself. Caron jumbo yarn 7.99. I just finished a baby blanket with matching pillow cover using caron cinnamon swirl cakes in springtime. turned out to be very pretty. Would never guess that the yarn was not baby yarn. Thanks for the video.
I'm curious about the bulky ReSpun yarn. I've made a few projects using the 4 weight version of that and I really like it. After an awesome sale that JoAnn had on the regular ReSpun yarn I now have every color Lion Brand gas ever made in that yarn. It washes up really well. Does the bulky very wash up okay? I'm worried it will become a fuzzy mess. The Latte Cakes make amazing blankets. I knitted a blanket for my youngest with the Latte Cakes and it us my favorite blanket. The feel and drape is amazing. They make great scarves too!
I know the latte cakes say you can put them in the dryer. If you dry them it ruins the soft and fluffiness of the yarn. It makes it look and feel matted.
I was in the United States in October this year2024, my boyfriend took me to Joann store, omg, I went nut, I bought 20 0f the ReSpun yarn all in Autumn colour😅,, I made a beautiful bag
Nick check out Show Me Romi’s channel. He makes a lot of cardigans from Queer Eye and just other places . He might give you ideas for a better hexagon sweater. There are so few guys out there crocheting. I love those hexagon sweaters I’m making one now. I’m using a pattern by Craft and A Cuppa she does great tutorials. I love your bookends blanket. ❤😊😊 it’s gorgeous.
Oooh! 😂
I am happy to be the cause of you buying all that pretty yarn!!
Dammit Erik!
If you hadn't said you were 40, I would have guessed more like 29!
I sure hope you reach your goal and get to run the marathon. I can't imagine running that far
I really liked the Book Club anniversary cake, but now that I see the Birch Bark, wow. Can't wait to see what you make with it. A cardigan would be nice, I bet.

Alright now, I know who is buying all the yarn! 😅 The blanket is beautiful and I'm loving the scarf.
🎉 happy belated birthday and yeah I loved watching your unboxing!
Oh my Nick! Thats awesome..
as long as it makes you happy ❤❤

The cowl turned out nice. That isn't a color i would choose but i ended up liking it. Ive learned so much from creative grandma & her yarn swatches have taught me a lot about yarn, colors & what different stitches can do for a yarn & color.
Oh my goodness,so many beautiful yarns! Now I’m suffering from FOMO! Enjoy working with those wonderful yarns. 🧶💜🙏🏻

It shocked me! I never would have bought it if not for Creative Grandma's video about it!
I love your book club blanket I'm going to look that PATTERN UP
Yarn boxing, one of my favorite types of video allowing me to live vicariously without running out of space to store yarn.
I love that yarn, great scarf ❤!!
Thanks friend!

When are you opening your yarn store?
Hello from Whidbey Island in Washington State! Love your videos and yarn hauls 😊
Happy birthday.
I love the open block stitch, Nick. Happy to see a tutorial . A cardigan would be so cuddly out of the Birch Bark”, please make a tutorial.
What does FOMO stand for? Those Anniversary cakes are girnormous!! I love that open block cowl you made, it worked very well with the colorway that you used! Will you show us how to do that stitch? I enjoyed seeing your yarn haul!! I love it ALL!! ❤
Fear of missing out!
Love the Burnt Orange yarn,. I to am into earth tones. Can't wait to see what you make with those great yarns.
Did I miss a video where you brought the plant back into the house?
Plant video will go live this coming Wednesday!!!
I love the impression yarns. I love making infinity granny square blankets. They make beautiful beanies with them to

HI Nick I just wanted to let you know that I made a cardigan out of 1 ball of the anniversary cake
Me, watching this while wearing the Birch Bark raglan I made while also working on a blanket in the Book Club colorway: hell yeah Caron cakes.
You pointing out that it was 1 full kilometer of yarn blew my mind 😅
I’ve been there, Nick. I thought I was learning a crochet hobby, only to end up with yarn addiction 😂
Hello Nick, I just found you and I’m glad I did 😊 loving the Impressions yarn, I hadn’t seen it before!
Rootbeer and Basil in my cart ! 2 of each right now though lol 😉our prices here in Canada are bit more.
Oh nice! Make sure you check back in and let me know what you make with it!
Have you thought about doing the 6 day star blanket? Mine definitely did not take just 6 days but I think you could rock that project
Loves it Nick xx

I'm going to look into it, thank you!
How many cakes did it take for the blanket? Still out of bookclub hope that they get more.
It took just under two cakes!
Than you for the quick response. Really love the blanket you made.
I want to make the Betty McKnit 6 day star blanket with birch bark.
I made an open C2C queen size throw with the Caron anniversary cake in Birchbox using your tutorial!
I would suggest Tunisian crochet scarf using the latte cake 😇😇

Crocheting with Claire has a c2c granny square.
It works up really nice.

Good to know! Thank you!
You are very welcome. Thank you for sharing your haul.❤
Hi Nick, you’re ok until you hit the Russ (it’s raining yarn) level of yarn buying 😂❤ Lovely purchases.
Oh my! Where are you going to put all that yarn?
Hey Nick. There's a boggy creek brigade going on if you 'shes got yarn 2' on you tube you might get some ideas on a blanket pattern.
Next video will be Nick going to yarn anonymous !!!! bahahahahahahaha
Me too
How about crocheting a Pineapple Stitch!! Blanket....
Is loops and threads a soft yarn looks a bit stiff
It's the in house brand from Michael's, so they have tons of different types. Something for everybody!
You are so like me, little bit,,,,😸
I was in the United States in October this year2024, my boyfriend took me to Joann store, omg, I went nut, I bought 20 0f the ReSpun yarn all in Autumn colour😅,, I made a beautiful bag
The “ fuzz “ on yarn is called halo Your subscriber in Houston 😎🧶
Maybe you could do Juan the Yarn Addict's fall Crochet Along going on now. That would be cool.
I buy yarn & plants, but it's not smack 🤷♀️
Let me know when you make that as a t shirt & I'll buy 3 😂😂😂
People are definitely doing smack everywhere and this makes us not as bad as we thought 😅
Nick check out Show Me Romi’s channel. He makes a lot of cardigans from Queer Eye and just other places . He might give you ideas for a better hexagon sweater. There are so few guys out there crocheting. I love those hexagon sweaters I’m making one now. I’m using a pattern by Craft and A Cuppa she does great tutorials. I love your bookends blanket. ❤😊😊 it’s gorgeous.
This video and the last one you made, I do not have any sound. All my other RUclips channels I hear just fine. I don't understand why I can't hear.
I don't know why! I'm sorry to hear that! It hasn't been an issue reported by anyone else!
@@URBANFARMBOYS Just my luck. I really wanted to hear about your order from Michaels. OH, I CAN HEAR IT NOW! Yay!!!
If you decide you want to part with your Prismatic anniversary cakes, I'd love to have two of them. Let me know if so. Thanks!!
🧶😀
Poncho
Hi Nick just subscribed to your channel i am from UK where are you from.
