You are fine honey (sorry I call everyone I like that I am southern) just tell me if you don't want me to say that or leave so many comments. Having a little blurry part is ok. It was only a second. You are new and that is going to happen. Just keep going. It seems like you have some good people on here so you should be fine.
Isn't Crystal amazing! Been following her since Little Rose was a baby. Learned a lot. My scare was a toddler dress. But got it done. 😁. Welcome to the Crochet Channel. Love your blankets. My first big blanket was for my 6ft 4 brother. I made it 7ft. It goes on the back of his couch. That's his napping station. He curls up anyways. 😅. Made him a Navaho in black, ivory, & mauve. He loved it. That was in 1988. And it's still lays on the back of his couch. Welcome. I will be following you. 😉👍❣️.
Hey Juan glad I found your channel, as a 53 year old male who just learned 4 months ago to crochet and is completely addicted to it and can’t wait to see more of your videos
Glad u got found the courage to share your works. You are very talented, down to earth, and seem just an all-around nice guy. That's what I'm getting. I look forward to more videos and tutorials. I wish i could crochet as fast as you. Keep up the great work!
Love the way you introduce yourself. I’ve been crocheting for more than 15 years, I do a lot of crafts and also draw and paint and I never have the guts to post anything. I really admire you for your simplicity and the way you decided to show your talent out there. Keep going , wish you the best.
Me Too ❤ Sandpoint ID I’m old school self taught in my 30s & still at it just 16 months till I’m 80 years old. I ❤your Whole Daily Venue & Appreciate Your Talent and Dedication and Creativity. So I’m starting with your first as I started earlier this year 2024. GOD Bless you and your Mother 🇺🇸✝️📖💟🙏🛐
I’m a 47 year old chick who loves crochet! It’s very therapeutic and helps with adhd and anxiety. I am so happy to welcome anyone, men kids other women to the world of crochet. It’s not just for old ladies. I’m m only 5ft 4 but I love love love oversized blankets and cardigans. Also a lefty crocheter! Looking forward to your other videos ❤
Hi Juan! I can tell from your first video that I’m going to enjoy your channel !! YT yarn community is great! Look forward to seeing your future works and hauls! Happy hooking! ❤🧶
I love the work you showed us ~ especially the blankets! I would love to hear about other RUclips yarns channels that you have found and see more of your work. I didn't think you seemed nervous about your first video at all! I am thankful that all you RUclips folks take the time to put our there for us ~ love being "friends" with so many wonderful and talented folks.
HiYa Juan!! BOD sent me and I'm so glad she did!! Welcome to the you tube Yarny community!! I'm an 84 yr old beer swiggin hooker!! I too LOVE Red Heart Super Saver yarn, mostly because it's been around forever and has the most wonderful colors and so many of them!!!
I love your work 😍 that queen size blanket is gorgeous! I think it's a great idea to say where you get your inspiration. I too watch BOG, and Mikey. I think they have the best videos on how to produce various items, as well as making it easy to understand how to do the stitches. I've learned SO MUCH over the years of crocheting. I enjoy seeing new people on RUclips, such as yourself. 😊 I look forward to watching your next project! Will you be doing Tutorials? If not, I hope you can tell us where to find a pattern. Thank you! Happy crochcheting!
Nice to meet you Juan. Crystal made us aware of your channel and she’s right, love your vibe. Your talent with your hook is amazing!!! I’m glad to be here, can’t wait to see more of you.
Whazz Up Juan!!! My sister just sent me your RUclips video. Your story was so heartfelt and I’m so happy you found your way to fabulous!!! I started crocheting about 7 months ago (at 60 yrs old) because I was struggling with anxiety and it really helped to quiet my mind. I also got over my negative self talk about this not being for guys. (Thank God) I will totally follow you because you are representing, I hope, a growing trend of boys and men who are finding the fiber arts. I like your subtle playfulness and pride in your projects. Keep it up and I will continue to watch for more.
Welcome Juan, I, also, watch Bag-O-Day although occasionally. Great job on your first posting. Your work is fantastic. I learned to knit in my teens but never pursued to in the following years. Life got in the way. Later I taught myself to crochet before there was technology other than books. 😂 Have done a lot of crochet over the past 20 years. Now that I am retired knitting, I've gone back to doing that, and crochet are what gives me a reason to fight. I turned 73 today and really enjoy visiting with people on RUclips. Look forward to your future posts. May not comment but will be watching. Best wishes and God Bless.
I love all your work that you showed on your first RUclips video. You sure do crochet fast as that beanie would have taken me at least a week! I also love Bag o Day RUclips channel. Her tutorials are amazing & she takes you slowly step by step. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Thanks for taking the time . Cheers from Western Australia 😊😘👏
Juan I’m a 60 year old male and I learned to crochet using RUclips tutorials five years ago. I mostly make blankets and enjoyed seeing all of your projects and look forward to seeing more in the future.
Glad to see you in the knitting community! Heard about you from Crystal at bag o day. I learned to crochet when I also was a kid younger than 15 I do believe. Crocheted for many many years. Mostly Afghans did not get into making clothes until about five years ago. Maybe have made lots of sweaters. Cardigans all learned from Crystal. She’s great very patient. Very thorough. Very good tutorials Can’t wait to see what more you do.
One of the things that I love about being able to make my own blankets is being able to make them in custom sizes. Like you, my husband is very tall (6'5") and most throws aren't big enough for him, so though they may take longer to make, I love being able to make things that he can actually use without compromising due to his height. I have severe ADHD, depression, anxiety, and PTSD, and though I was bullied in school, for me personally, I have been using crafting (all kinds) as more of an outlet to calm my brain, and just mentally disappear for a while. I am a mom, so I can't disappear completely, but it is a nice escape when I'm having a hard time coping. :) I actually found your channel through watching one of Bag-O-Day's videos.
Sweetie just be yourself. And create and teach us some new things . I'm 66 yrs old all i know is basic stiches and a granny square But i like the feel of crocheting and looming it relaxs me. Red Heart is my favorite too! Been using it since 1973 😊
Hey Juan , welcome to the Crochet Community. Crystal@ Bag O Day introduced you. I'm sure you'll do great. Loved all your makes. I will be watching the rest of your Videos. Take care ❤
All the way frm Trinidad and Tobago with love stay good n welcme crochet is my joy hve been doin it for about 39yrs nw am in my late 50 my happy stress relief is crocheting in Trinidad our thread are ok but not as dedicated as in the states n yur much cheaper then ours but happy to be a part of yur channel God's blessings n keep good
HI Juan! I did subscribe to you via Bag O Day (you are so wonderful to put on a "Thank You" video to her). I absolutely love your work. Your blankets are so gorgeous. You have such a gift of color coordination and contrast. My goodness! I am almost 68 years young and have only been crocheting for not quite 3 years. I am totally "addicted" and have finished many projects-no matter how frustrating! I wish I had started much younger but .... so much to learn and do! Anyway-thank you for sharing your work, your honesty and vulnerability and more. I can see why Crystal at Bag O Day really likes you 🙂 Who wouldn't! I look forward to watching many of your videos. Thanks again. Blessings, love and light. Enjoy!
Hello and welcome to the RUclips yarn community! So happy to have you. I’ve been chuckling whenever you mention having to make big and long blankets. My BF is 6’4” and one thing he said to me in the beginning of our relationship, was that he never had a blanket that was long enough for him (like a couch blanket). Of course that was his Christmas gift that year! And every blanket I make for our home is always long enough for him to cover from head to toe! I look forward to your future videos!
Hello from Melbourne Australia! I started my RUclips channel a couple weeks ago too! Your WIPs look great, I love the Reese's PB blanket 🤣and that yarn wall behind you is amazing 👀🧶
Juan, imagine my surprise when you showed up as a recommended video. I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation and look forward to the binge I’ll be doing watching all of your vids. I especially like the fact that you “over size” so many of your projects. I do a lot of afghans for family - graduation, weddings, babies. With the exception of the exception of the babies, everything seems to be over size - king and queen beds. Can’t find many patterns for that! I would love to see you showcase other creators and demonstrate how you over size their work. Don’t know if you follow Helen Shrimpton (UK), but her afghans are beyond beautiful! Exquisite may be a better description. Unfortunately, I haven’t figured out how to over size her creations. Glad the RUclips gods found you for me. Looking forward to more.
Great job on your first video! absolutely love your purple and grey scarf your wearing! If you have a pattern, please share. Your blankets and grey scarf are beautiful as well!
Hey Juan I'm 59 I've been crocheting since I was 6. I had to take Ritalin when i was a child. I'm still hyper adhd. I was bullied as a child too. I met a woman when i was 6 and she showed me the chain stitch, I was hooked literally! I begged my mother for a hook. She gave in lol. I didn't have anyone to teach me, so i would find anything made with yarn. Back then with the hippy movement going out there was unwanted projects a plenty. I spent a lot of punishment time out in my room. 😊 I would crochet the whole time. I would slowly take things apart and watch it unravel, then i would copy it. I took many projects apart and rolled many a balls of yarn. If i did the stitch wrong I'd take it out till i got it right. I didn't know how to read patterns back then. Did even know there were such a thing. Or books that taught you. Now i can look at something and make it. I think i was 10 when i learned that you could buy skiens and that the thread could be pulled from the inside! 😮 lol It was my adhd outlet. And still is. I've won awards at our country fair for my sewing thread motifs. And tat work. I have disassemble, assembled, rearranged and made up my own stitches over the years. It never gets old. Now my wrists are going and I'm trying to get my g-son to do it too. He is battling depression. You and the other men on RUclips are a great example for me to show him that men do crochet and make awesome projects. A 💜 from one crocheter to another 🎉 Happy hooks to your new channel. You have my sub. 😊
Trying to get hubby to pick up a hook and help me bust my yarn stash for gifts and charity. I like your teaching style and personality and you do beautiful work. Crystal taught me lots of beautiful textured stitches and her patterns always turn out well. Wishing you much success with your channel. You changed the name already! ❤ Welcome to the RUclips community! 🎉
That navy specks is hard to find but it is lovely glad I found you I’ve been crocheting for about 55 years I favor a 1 or 2 weight and I love making shawls my left handed Aunt taught me
Welcome to the fiber community! Hope you like it and stay. Looking forward to seeing more videos from you in the near future. Until next time. Take care. Peace, Love and Yarn.
Love this! So many fabulous works. I'm so glad Crystal sent me over to you. I lurve the ripple blanket colours especially. All the best on your crochet adventures. Kate xxx
Love your ripple!❤❤❤ the combination of those colors in your shawl is striking.your sweater is good! All your work is nice. I'm 73 lady who crochet and knits. I enjoy you.
Thoroughly enjoyed your video!!!! Your color choices are so VIBRANT. "Reesey peanut butter cups" Ha ha ha LOVE it!!! 76 yr old, been crocheting since I was 6. I'm THRILLED you're a "lefty" too!!! I knit, crochet and quilt baby afghans for the Pine Ridge Indian reservation in South Dakota. I can tell I'm going to learn a LOT from you. Thank you so much for starting your channel!
Thanks to BOD for letting me know about your channel! She is so correct in saying you are talented and I will remain a fan. I'm 78 years old and I too crochet and knit. I agree with you, crochet is my favorite.
So glad I came across your channel today, Juan. I love all your makes. I have wanted to make a king blanket for my bed and your blankets are beautiful! I learned to knit and crochet when I was a young child. As an adult, I discovered it is truly good therapy...I think you’re right about sharing the inspiration.
We all love crystal ( BagODay Crochet RUclips & Facebook) she mentioned you & your Channel , so out of curiosity here I am ! Love the colors you are using on both your wips ! I too love Red Heart SS I use that alot ! love making cardigans shawls & blankets , Not really into hats but every once in awhile I will make one !

New subscriber here! Came over from Bag-O-Day. Love your projects. I'm 70 and learned to crochet when I was 11. I knit some too. Learned to knit about 12 yrs ago. Crochet is still my favorite as I feel most comfortable doing it. All your blankets are gorgeous. Love them all! I'll be watching your later videos so I'll be all caught up. Welcome to the RUclips crochet community!!!!!❤
Can't go wrong "hooking" up with Crystal! Liked and subbed from Bag o Day's channel ! Cheers from Newfoundland! I'm a self taught leftie crocheter too...we go backwards to those righties! Lol! Fiber Spider has a great channel as well!
Hello Juan and welcome to the yarn community. I absolutely love your blankets. I am doing a moss stitch blanket for my daughter in law right now. I'm using Red Heart Latte Stripe and Black. I'm doing so many rows and carrying the black so many rows. I'm making it up as I go along. Bag-O-Day gave a big shout out for your channel. Keep doing what you're doing I think it's great sharing your passion to the world.
I just found your channel and you are awesome! You must crochet in your sleep! Your "WIPS" and everything are stunning! Your eye for color is unbelievable! I am a senior citizen now and one of my grandmothers' taught me to crochet when I was 12 and I haven't stopped yet! Keep up the fantastic work!
Hey Juan! Welcome to the RUclips Yarny Community! I, too, am a RUclips newbie. I started because I wanted some yarny friends, and I found that this community has the sweetest people. You did great and have some beautiful makes. My son is 6’4, so I understand needing a lot of yarn. Thanks for sharing! Continue to be you!🥰🤟🏻
You popped up on my screen today and I had to do a a double take! The scarf you’re wearing looked like the one I made for my mom before she passed away. The same Colors, the same yarn but I just made up the pattern while I was making it. Welcome to my world of unending fibers!
Welcome!🎉 Luv the projects you crocheted. Luv the colors. Wow. I e. Rocketed off and on for years but am still learning stuff. I prefer using video vs written patterns. It helps me perfect the stitches. If it looks like the video when I complete a row…I’m in to the next and am contually learning. You are very calming and I enjoy you already. Can’t wait for your next project. Plz send me a text when you are going to post your next video or go live. Again, thx and welcome.
Welcome, Juan Love your color choices for your crochet projects. I’m excited to see more and learn from you. Crocheting has been my therapy and calming space.
Hey Juan I'm 45 years old & have been crocheting on and off since I was a preteen (but only recently became enthused with it). I LOVE Bag O Day and am looking forward to seeing what your channel brings to the community. Here's to a beautiful friendship (through the RUclips community of course)
I just HAD to comment on your comment....because I think I LITERALLY wrote almost everything you did in your comment. I actually had to do a double take and reread your comment because I thought I was actually reading the comment I just wrote and posted a couple min ago! Hello to my fellow forty-something crocheter! 21:02
@@jbenedetto9021 hahaha I so love this guy! I’ve legit had to frog and re-frog so many times because I keep getting wrapped up in what he’s saying I lose focus on what I’m working on. Hahaha
I’m loving the scarf/shawl you’re wearing! Especially the colors. 😊 The Chevron granny is pretty cool, too. The Reese’s PBC vibe came from the colors - look at the packaging! PS (it’s pronounced ’skayne.’)
I'm in! Hi from Manchester UK. I crochet for little ones and love your channel, I'm looking to expand my skill set to make things to sell. I love the triangle scarf idea for all sizes, so practical. We can get most USA brands here and products almost identical. We can benefit from 100% pure wool hand crafted into yard by individuals that like to dye and spin. It's beautiful, expensive though. I find if I use finer wool it's better value, great chatting. Carry on ,you are brilliant. PS. I made my mum teach me to crochet as a last resort when she was really poorly. I could not get my head round it. That day it clicked finally. We didn't half celebrate. I was already a good knitter but could not see how the hook worked until that day. Must have had an angel helping as she couldn't crochet at all about 3 months after. I still miss her dreadfully after 20 years. I look at all the great grandchildren she didn't meet. 14 in all 13 which are my grandchildren.
Love seeing people enjoying and sharing your talents. Looking forward to more, stay true to your self! Much luck. With Crystal behind you you should get a good initial bump! But it'll be all you from there! Keep on rocking 😊
Love the speckles and I'm a fan of red heart. I'm 67 and been crocheting since I was 12! Love that ripple afghan.your dollar tree must be better than mine. Nice
Glad to see more men joining the yarny crowd😊🧶🧶. Sure do love your back wall of yarn. What a party I could have lol. Love Crystal from Bag O Day. She is such a caring wonderful loving lady. Juan, very curious how many skeins of yarn did you purchase from dollar tree! Did you have to keep going back or got em all at the same time? ❤gayle. Lol this is my 3rd audit. WOW you have crocheted far beyond I could have imagined. Incredible ❤❤
Nice meeting you. We’re same age and learned how to knit at 7 and thought myself crocheting from channels like your 15 years ago. Good luck, and hope we’ll learn a lot from you, and that you post requested tutorials and also new yarns. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Juan . 53 male here and been crocheting since I was about 7 or 8. The possibilities are endless with crochet !!! I also have a small YT channel and have found it fun / interesting connecting with others. Looking forward to your videos. Be well, Miguel.
Glad I came across your channel today. Love your scarf!!! I can tell purple is your favorite 💜💜 it’s gorgeous. Have you tried Furls hooks? I have 1 prym hook but mostly use Furls. They work for my wrists the best. The skinny hooks are just not for me. The blankets are gorgeous 😮💜 I just started my channel not too long ago. LOVE the yarnie community!!! The support from the other RUclipsrs is incredible!!
Hi!! I just got my first furls last week and haven’t tried it yet. I’m going to give it a run and see how it pairs up! I hear nothing but great things about it so I’m super excited!! Yeah, I have to say and agree how supportive everyone is. It’s so awesome to see and experience!
Yea! And you’re a Lefty like me. I also use the yarn from the outside of the skein. In case anyone is wondering, crocheting left handed un-twists the yarn if you center pull off the ball.
After BoD mentioned you I decided to take a look, and am so glad I did. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your corner-to-corner blanket! That's fantastic. It's nice to see other men working with yarn and hooks. Thank you for putting this out there!
Hi. You do beautiful work. I am making a king size blanket, in moss stitch, holding 2 strands of 4 weight yarn, at once, and using a #10 mm. hook. One strand colour goes from start to finish and the other strand changes colour, using many scraps, at random, planned or otherwise. I learned this from Yarn Geek’s first YT video. Also I have made 6 infinity snoods in Latté cakes, chaining 80 stitches, twisting, then joining (leave straight if you like) then working in rounds. They are light and soft. I made mine 15-18” so it could be pulled up over my head and still stay tucked inside my coat at the back. Love, Audrey. ❤️🇨🇦🧶
I just discovered Prym hooks and absolutely love them! A lot of ergonomic hooks were never really comfortable for me since I have more of a pen hold but now I'm saving up to get a hole Prym set. And yeah, that blanket was definitely giving off Reesie's vibes lol, I'm glad you said you liked working with the DT yarn, I've been meaning to try it out but each time I remember I've already drove past it lol.
Hi Juan, nice to meet you! My name is Petra. I was made aware of your channel by Crystal. Always nice to see a new channel with yet another creative yarn addict! Would love to see more of your work so I am sticking with you, subscribed right away. I would also like to mention that I love that you make big things, that is definitely something that will make you stand out in comparison with other channels. There are not many out there that make big things, especially when it comes to clothing for men and women. So again, nice to meet you and keep us hooked! 😀
Hi Juan, Crystal (BagODay) told us about you. Enjoying your 1st video and your blankets and scarfs are so pretty! Love the colors! Can’t wait to check out the rest of your videos.
I love your work !!! Your blankets are beautiful, and I love your scarves !!! I have used Red Heart yarn all my life ( I learned to crochet when I was 9, but didn't really do much other than a few very plain scarves. I left it alone for years; just picked back up on it a couple years ago. I'm 67 now, and I have learned so many stiches and patterns in such a short time. I've learned Tunisian and Entrelac, looking forward to trying Mosaic next. Please keep making videos; I cannot wait to see what's up next 💗 ( your yarn stash is to DIE for !!)
Nice to meet you. I’m a lefty crocheted too! I like that you are open to finding yarn at the dollar stores! No the normal place to go for yarn but good to know you can find some good yarn finds.
We're here Juan so glad to be a part of Your Yarn Family 😊 im 57 and I've been crocheting for 30+ years and refuse to live one day without it 😂. BOD sent me and im so glad to meet you here. Have an amazing day, God Bless ❤
Welcome to the community Juan! Happy to follow you! 😊 I am all for you reviewing other crocheters - I also follow Bag-o-day, done a few of her blankets and ponchos, and I also follow Mickey; these two are my crochet teachers 😊
I to have been crocheting since I was fifteen. I am now 57 years old. I have made a lot of things mostly throws, blankets, bedspreads, shawls, etc. I love to crochet along with Fiber Spider, Bag of Day, and lots of other people on RUclips. I just found your video. You do a great job. I wish you had told us a little more about you. I know you do not want to get to personal on here. I would love to know what state you live in. I am a big guy and most things I make have to be big to fit me. Thank goodness that I am only 5’ 7” tall. I liked you video a lot. You seem to be very nice and you appreciate the crocheting as something that is fun to do. Thank you for sharing. I tell everybody that I went to RUclips University. That is where I learned new stitches and learned how to crochet so many things.🎉🎉🎉
Just tripped over your channel. Don’t worry, I’m fine. The bruises will disappear in a couple of days..😁 I subscribed immediately btw. Seriously, I’m so impressed with your patience and tenacity in making the big stuff! I don’t have that same attention span (I currently have roughly 12 WIPS on the go) as I need to swap and change colours and patterns often. I’m now going to binge-watch the rest of your posts. Congratulations !
How handsome for over 40! LOL! My oldest is a teeny bit younger. He dealt with bullying as well, but crochet was not his escape valve. Now I am sharing crochet with his kids! I am inspired by your gorgeous woven items.
Hi Juan. Just subscribed from South Bronx, New York. Your creations are beyond beautiful. You have a wonderful sense of color. Very happy RUclips recommended your channel. Looking forward to watching previous episodes as well as new ones. Welcome and many blessings to You. 💜🤗💜
Juan, l also was watching Cristal (Bag a Day crochet). She’s lovely, down to earth person. She say,s you love pink. 😅Juan l think you are amazing, the colours the design, beautiful. I’m so glad you found Crochet . Keep up with all the great clips.
Hi Juan, enjoying your content. Don’t worry about the picture, for me I don’t get upset with such trivia. You’ll love it generally, just block the haters, they’re everywhere. Have a great week.😊
Hey Juan welcome to the yarny community!! You have done a great first video and absolutely gorgeous makes and wips!! I can't wait to see more of your video's!!! ❤
Hello Juan! Wonderful to find you! Crystal is a gem in the yarn community, she has introduced me to many wonderful new yarn people/channels❤ Looking forward to seeing what you continue doing. I'm with you making blankets, not throws. I'm 6 ft, my son son is 6'10", the rest of the fam are tall as well! Just takes a little more time and yarn😂
Hello Juan!! Crystal of BagODay, talked about you in one of her videos. You do beautiful work!! Depending on where you live - if it its cold like here in Wisconsin - I wear my triangle scarves outside 🙂 C2C blankets are my go-to pattern. That and the virus stitch blanket. I make baby clothes. I am going to attempt an adult size sweater soon. Probably MJoffthehook's granny pop sweater. I love the granny stitch! I have been crocheting 55 years, i learned when i was 9 yrs old!!. And still find new things to try - like mosaic crochet. Right now I am hooked on filet crochet! Have a wonderful day!! Oh - while I do make various size blankets - depending on who ask. I normally make all of my blankets queen size. I like to wrap myslef up in my blanket, quilt or comforter LOL
Hola Juan. Do not forget that when you buy a machine-made item they do NOT last long. When you buy a handmade crochet item they last a long, long time. My friend showed me her great-great-grandma's crochet blanket. Her great-grandma used it all the time. Now she uses it on every special occasion. It is over 110 years old and it is still intact and beautiful.
Beautiful projects. You seem like a really chill person, definitely my type of guy. I like Mikey too.😊 This was a good video. You did very well for the first one. Keep up the good work. I’m sure there are plenty of people who will love watching your videos. Have a great day.🤗
Also love your color choice for the queen size granny square gorgeous blanket.❤ I am a long time crocheted. My aunt showed me how and I never stopped. Mostly self taught. Just now trying the granny square again coincidentally. Yep, I'm 67 and still have a lot to learn. My aunt told me to put your heart into a project, make sure you use good yarns. Each piece is a part of your life. Can you teach us what is the good stuff and reasonable. Also the difference between yarn and wool. I just really got the gravity of this and thought many others would like to know. We get so excited to get into a project, you tend to overlook the basics. Our family saying. We get too soon old and too late smart (maybe)..
I’m so sorry about the blurry video! I’m trying to figure out how to fix that! Hope you all still enjoy the video anyway!
You are fine honey (sorry I call everyone I like that I am southern) just tell me if you don't want me to say that or leave so many comments. Having a little blurry part is ok. It was only a second. You are new and that is going to happen. Just keep going. It seems like you have some good people on here so you should be fine.
Welcome … I’m sure I will enjoy all of your crocheting
Juan @theyarnaddict what is the color way and all that info for that scarf. Please
Welcome! I wish you prosperity in your new company. 🧶❤️
How do I learn your techniques?I want to learn
Isn't Crystal amazing! Been following her since Little Rose was a baby. Learned a lot. My scare was a toddler dress. But got it done. 😁. Welcome to the Crochet Channel. Love your blankets. My first big blanket was for my 6ft 4 brother. I made it 7ft. It goes on the back of his couch. That's his napping station. He curls up anyways. 😅. Made him a Navaho in black, ivory, & mauve. He loved it. That was in 1988. And it's still lays on the back of his couch.
Welcome. I will be following you. 😉👍❣️.
Hey Juan glad I found your channel, as a 53 year old male who just learned 4 months ago to crochet and is completely addicted to it and can’t wait to see more of your videos
I’m so glad you’re here!! Thank you for stopping by! Looking forward to you seeing more of my content!
I'm glad you have this passion keep up the good work
Crystal from Bag o day?

Good for you , yarn guys! You don't need boobs to knit or crochet! Lol!
My mom worked for Mrs Prym herself for 25 years. She was an interesting lady with lots of stories. She lived to be almost 103.
Love the way you introduce yourself. I’ve been crocheting for more than 15 years, I do a lot of crafts and also draw and paint and I never have the guts to post anything. I really admire you for your simplicity and the way you decided to show your talent out there. Keep going , wish you the best.
Hi Juan, I've been watching your new stuff, but I decided to start at the very beginning and watch them all! ❤

I love the work you showed us ~ especially the blankets! I would love to hear about other RUclips yarns channels that you have found and
see more of your work. I didn't think you seemed nervous about your first video at all! I am thankful that all you RUclips folks take the time to put our there for us ~ love being "friends" with so many wonderful and talented folks.
HiYa Juan!! BOD sent me and I'm so glad she did!! Welcome to the you tube Yarny community!! I'm an 84 yr old beer swiggin hooker!! I too LOVE Red Heart Super Saver yarn, mostly because it's been around forever and has the most wonderful colors and so many of them!!!
I love your work 😍 that queen size blanket is gorgeous! I think it's a great idea to say where you get your inspiration. I too watch BOG, and Mikey. I think they have the best videos on how to produce various items, as well as making it easy to understand how to do the stitches. I've learned SO MUCH over the years of crocheting. I enjoy seeing new people on RUclips, such as yourself. 😊 I look forward to watching your next project! Will you be doing Tutorials? If not, I hope you can tell us where to find a pattern. Thank you! Happy crochcheting!
Nice to meet you Juan. Crystal made us aware of your channel and she’s right, love your vibe. Your talent with your hook is amazing!!! I’m glad to be here, can’t wait to see more of you.
Whazz Up Juan!!! My sister just sent me your RUclips video. Your story was so heartfelt and I’m so happy you found your way to fabulous!!! I started crocheting about 7 months ago (at 60 yrs old) because I was struggling with anxiety and it really helped to quiet my mind. I also got over my negative self talk about this not being for guys. (Thank God)
I will totally follow you because you are representing, I hope, a growing trend of boys and men who are finding the fiber arts. I like your subtle playfulness and pride in your projects. Keep it up and I will continue to watch for more.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support my new friend!! I’m glad to represent!
Welcome Juan,
I, also, watch Bag-O-Day although occasionally. Great job on your first posting. Your work is fantastic. I learned to knit in my teens but never pursued to in the following years. Life got in the way. Later I taught myself to crochet before there was technology other than books. 😂 Have done a lot of crochet over the past 20 years. Now that I am retired knitting, I've gone back to doing that, and crochet are what gives me a reason to fight. I turned 73 today and really enjoy visiting with people on RUclips. Look forward to your future posts. May not comment but will be watching. Best wishes and God Bless.
I am loving that scarf that you are wearing! It's nice to meet you, Juan!!
Hope you post a tutorial !
I love all your work that you showed on your first RUclips video. You sure do crochet fast as that beanie would have taken me at least a week! I also love Bag o Day RUclips channel. Her tutorials are amazing & she takes you slowly step by step. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Thanks for taking the time . Cheers from Western Australia 😊😘👏
Juan I’m a 60 year old male and I learned to crochet using RUclips tutorials five years ago. I mostly make blankets and enjoyed seeing all of your projects and look forward to seeing more in the future.
Thank you for your support!! I have a lot planned so stay tuned!!
Nice meeting you 😂❤🎉😊JuanCR
Blessings to you 🤗 I've Subscribed & am excited about your new channel.
I'm excited to learn from you❤❤❤❤
Glad to see you in the knitting community! Heard about you from Crystal at bag o day. I learned to crochet when I also was a kid younger than 15 I do believe. Crocheted for many many years. Mostly Afghans did not get into making clothes until about five years ago. Maybe have made lots of sweaters. Cardigans all learned from Crystal. She’s great very patient. Very thorough. Very good tutorials Can’t wait to see what more you do.
One of the things that I love about being able to make my own blankets is being able to make them in custom sizes. Like you, my husband is very tall (6'5") and most throws aren't big enough for him, so though they may take longer to make, I love being able to make things that he can actually use without compromising due to his height. I have severe ADHD, depression, anxiety, and PTSD, and though I was bullied in school, for me personally, I have been using crafting (all kinds) as more of an outlet to calm my brain, and just mentally disappear for a while. I am a mom, so I can't disappear completely, but it is a nice escape when I'm having a hard time coping. :)
I actually found your channel through watching one of Bag-O-Day's videos.
Sweetie just be yourself. And create and teach us some new things .
I'm 66 yrs old all i know is basic stiches and a granny square
But i like the feel of crocheting and looming it relaxs me.
Red Heart is my favorite too! Been using it since 1973 😊
Hey Juan , welcome to the Crochet Community. Crystal@ Bag O Day introduced you. I'm sure you'll do great. Loved all your makes. I will be watching the rest of your Videos. Take care ❤

Welcome to the community! You make a great addition to our craft.
💯✌️🍀
HI Juan! I did subscribe to you via Bag O Day (you are so wonderful to put on a "Thank You" video to her). I absolutely love your work. Your blankets are so gorgeous. You have such a gift of color coordination and contrast. My goodness! I am almost 68 years young and have only been crocheting for not quite 3 years. I am totally "addicted" and have finished many projects-no matter how frustrating! I wish I had started much younger but .... so much to learn and do! Anyway-thank you for sharing your work, your honesty and vulnerability and more. I can see why Crystal at Bag O Day really likes you 🙂 Who wouldn't! I look forward to watching many of your videos. Thanks again. Blessings, love and light. Enjoy!
Hello and welcome to the RUclips yarn community! So happy to have you. I’ve been chuckling whenever you mention having to make big and long blankets. My BF is 6’4” and one thing he said to me in the beginning of our relationship, was that he never had a blanket that was long enough for him (like a couch blanket). Of course that was his Christmas gift that year! And every blanket I make for our home is always long enough for him to cover from head to toe! I look forward to your future videos!
Congrats! I've been teaching Boys and Girls Crochet since 1970 when I was in 8th Grade.
Hello from Melbourne Australia! I started my RUclips channel a couple weeks ago too! Your WIPs look great, I love the Reese's PB blanket 🤣and that yarn wall behind you is amazing 👀🧶
Juan, imagine my surprise when you showed up as a recommended video. I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation and look forward to the binge I’ll be doing watching all of your vids.
I especially like the fact that you “over size” so many of your projects. I do a lot of afghans for family - graduation, weddings, babies. With the exception of the exception of the babies, everything seems to be over size - king and queen beds. Can’t find many patterns for that! I would love to see you showcase other creators and demonstrate how you over size their work. Don’t know if you follow Helen Shrimpton (UK), but her afghans are beyond beautiful! Exquisite may be a better description. Unfortunately, I haven’t figured out how to over size her creations.
Glad the RUclips gods found you for me. Looking forward to more.
Great job on your first video! absolutely love your purple and grey scarf your wearing! If you have a pattern, please share. Your blankets and grey scarf are beautiful as well!
Greetings from across the pond. Great announcement video. Keep it up (Tracy from Crochet Rocks)
Welcome man! Good job. Love your stuff and taste in colors. Good affordable recommendations. I can’t wait to see more.
Thank you for your kind words!!
Hey Juan I'm 59 I've been crocheting since I was 6. I had to take Ritalin when i was a child. I'm still hyper adhd. I was bullied as a child too. I met a woman when i was 6 and she showed me the chain stitch, I was hooked literally! I begged my mother for a hook. She gave in lol. I didn't have anyone to teach me, so i would find anything made with yarn. Back then with the hippy movement going out there was unwanted projects a plenty. I spent a lot of punishment time out in my room. 😊 I would crochet the whole time. I would slowly take things apart and watch it unravel, then i would copy it. I took many projects apart and rolled many a balls of yarn. If i did the stitch wrong I'd take it out till i got it right. I didn't know how to read patterns back then. Did even know there were such a thing. Or books that taught you. Now i can look at something and make it. I think i was 10 when i learned that you could buy skiens and that the thread could be pulled from the inside! 😮 lol It was my adhd outlet. And still is. I've won awards at our country fair for my sewing thread motifs. And tat work. I have disassemble, assembled, rearranged and made up my own stitches over the years. It never gets old. Now my wrists are going and I'm trying to get my g-son to do it too. He is battling depression. You and the other men on RUclips are a great example for me to show him that men do crochet and make awesome projects. A 💜 from one crocheter to another 🎉 Happy hooks to your new channel. You have my sub. 😊
Hi Juan - welcome to the yarnies, I am a newbie and am also enjoying such a great community. Your blankets are beautiful 🧶.
Trying to get hubby to pick up a hook and help me bust my yarn stash for gifts and charity. I like your teaching style and personality and you do beautiful work. Crystal taught me lots of beautiful textured stitches and her patterns always turn out well. Wishing you much success with your channel. You changed the name already! ❤ Welcome to the RUclips community! 🎉
That navy specks is hard to find but it is lovely glad I found you I’ve been crocheting for about 55 years I favor a 1 or 2 weight and I love making shawls my left handed Aunt taught me
Welcome to the fiber community! Hope you like it and stay. Looking forward to seeing more videos from you in the near future. Until next time. Take care. Peace, Love and Yarn.
Love your yarn wall. Its great that you show even your mess ups.
Fantastic blanket- almost has a native feel or Pendleton ❤
Love this! So many fabulous works. I'm so glad Crystal sent me over to you. I lurve the ripple blanket colours especially. All the best on your crochet adventures. Kate xxx
Love your ripple!❤❤❤ the combination of those colors in your shawl is striking.your sweater is good! All your work is nice. I'm 73 lady who crochet and knits. I enjoy you.
Hello Juan! I am so glad that I found your channel. I will definitely be watching from now on. All of your projects. They are beautiful!!
Thoroughly enjoyed your video!!!! Your color choices are so VIBRANT. "Reesey peanut butter cups" Ha ha ha LOVE it!!! 76 yr old, been crocheting since I was 6. I'm THRILLED you're a "lefty" too!!! I knit, crochet and quilt baby afghans for the Pine Ridge Indian reservation in South Dakota. I can tell I'm going to learn a LOT from you. Thank you so much for starting your channel!
Great to meet you. Crystal sent us over. Awesome wips and FO’s. Hugs from Scotland 🏴 👍🧶🤗
Thanks to BOD for letting me know about your channel! She is so correct in saying you are talented and I will remain a fan. I'm 78 years old and I too crochet and knit. I agree with you, crochet is my favorite.
So glad I came across your channel today, Juan. I love all your makes. I have wanted to make a king blanket for my bed and your blankets are beautiful! I learned to knit and crochet when I was a young child. As an adult, I discovered it is truly good therapy...I think you’re right about sharing the inspiration.
We all love crystal ( BagODay Crochet RUclips & Facebook) she mentioned you & your Channel , so out of curiosity here I am ! Love the colors you are using on both your wips ! I too love Red Heart SS I use that alot ! love making cardigans shawls & blankets , Not really into hats but every once in awhile I will make one !

New subscriber here! Came over from Bag-O-Day. Love your projects. I'm 70 and learned to crochet when I was 11. I knit some too. Learned to knit about 12 yrs ago. Crochet is still my favorite as I feel most comfortable doing it. All your blankets are gorgeous. Love them all! I'll be watching your later videos so I'll be all caught up. Welcome to the RUclips crochet community!!!!!❤
Can't go wrong "hooking" up with Crystal! Liked and subbed from Bag o Day's channel ! Cheers from Newfoundland!
I'm a self taught leftie crocheter too...we go backwards to those righties! Lol!
Fiber Spider has a great channel as well!
Hello Juan and welcome to the yarn community. I absolutely love your blankets. I am doing a moss stitch blanket for my daughter in law right now. I'm using Red Heart Latte Stripe and Black. I'm doing so many rows and carrying the black so many rows. I'm making it up as I go along. Bag-O-Day gave a big shout out for your channel. Keep doing what you're doing I think it's great sharing your passion to the world.
I just found your channel and you are awesome! You must crochet in your sleep! Your "WIPS" and everything are stunning! Your eye for color is unbelievable! I am a senior citizen now and one of my grandmothers' taught
me to crochet when I was 12 and I haven't stopped yet! Keep up the fantastic work!
Hey Juan! Welcome to the RUclips Yarny Community! I, too, am a RUclips newbie. I started because I wanted some yarny friends, and I found that this community has the sweetest people. You did great and have some beautiful makes. My son is 6’4, so I understand needing a lot of yarn. Thanks for sharing! Continue to be you!🥰🤟🏻
Thank you so much for your kind words!! I’m learning that our community has some really awesome ppl here!!
You popped up on my screen today and I had to do a a double take! The scarf you’re wearing looked like the one I made for my mom before she passed away. The same Colors, the same yarn but I just made up the pattern while I was making it. Welcome to my world of unending fibers!
@@JuanTheYarnAddictI'm trying to get my younger brother started..he's super artistic, and I just know he'll become addicted..thank you for posting!❤🎉
Welcome!🎉 Luv the projects you crocheted. Luv the colors. Wow. I e. Rocketed off and on for years but am still learning stuff. I prefer using video vs written patterns. It helps me perfect the stitches. If it looks like the video when I complete a row…I’m in to the next and am contually learning.
You are very calming and I enjoy you already. Can’t wait for your next project. Plz send me a text when you are going to post your next video or go live. Again, thx and welcome.
Welcome, Juan
Love your color choices for your crochet projects. I’m excited to see more and learn from you. Crocheting has been my therapy and calming space.
Hey Juan I'm 45 years old & have been crocheting on and off since I was a preteen (but only recently became enthused with it). I LOVE Bag O Day and am looking forward to seeing what your channel brings to the community. Here's to a beautiful friendship (through the RUclips community of course)
I just HAD to comment on your comment....because I think I LITERALLY wrote almost everything you did in your comment. I actually had to do a double take and reread your comment because I thought I was actually reading the comment I just wrote and posted a couple min ago!
Hello to my fellow forty-something crocheter!
21:02
@@jbenedetto9021 hahaha I so love this guy! I’ve legit had to frog and re-frog so many times because I keep getting wrapped up in what he’s saying I lose focus on what I’m working on. Hahaha
I’m always in awe of what others crochet. It is a calming therapeutic addiction for me. 😂
I love the 'Father Pullover' pattern by yarnspiration. Have made 3 already. And I absolutely love your colorway choice!❤❤
I’m loving the scarf/shawl you’re wearing! Especially the colors. 😊 The Chevron granny is pretty cool, too.
The Reese’s PBC vibe came from the colors - look at the packaging!
PS (it’s pronounced ’skayne.’)
Hi Juan I also love Red heart yarn. Your fall blanket is beautiful now I am also seeing reese cups. The corner to corner made me so happy 😊.
I'm in! Hi from Manchester UK. I crochet for little ones and love your channel, I'm looking to expand my skill set to make things to sell. I love the triangle scarf idea for all sizes, so practical. We can get most USA brands here and products almost identical. We can benefit from 100% pure wool hand crafted into yard by individuals that like to dye and spin. It's beautiful, expensive though. I find if I use finer wool it's better value, great chatting. Carry on ,you are brilliant. PS. I made my mum teach me to crochet as a last resort when she was really poorly. I could not get my head round it. That day it clicked finally. We didn't half celebrate. I was already a good knitter but could not see how the hook worked until that day. Must have had an angel helping as she couldn't crochet at all about 3 months after. I still miss her dreadfully after 20 years. I look at all the great grandchildren she didn't meet. 14 in all 13 which are my grandchildren.
Love, love, love your shawl!!! So glad to have found you. Looking forward to seeing you 😊
Love seeing people enjoying and sharing your talents. Looking forward to more, stay true to your self! Much luck. With Crystal behind you you should get a good initial bump! But it'll be all you from there! Keep on rocking 😊
Hi Juan, I love all the things you've made. And my favorite color is purple too!! 💜
Love the speckles and I'm a fan of red heart. I'm 67 and been crocheting since I was 12! Love that ripple afghan.your dollar tree must be better than mine. Nice
Wow your work is beautiful and the colors are stunning. So glad I came across your channel
Can't wait to see more! ❤
Glad to see more men joining the yarny crowd😊🧶🧶. Sure do love your back wall of yarn. What a party I could have lol. Love Crystal from Bag O Day. She is such a caring wonderful loving lady. Juan, very curious how many skeins of yarn did you purchase from dollar tree! Did you have to keep going back or got em all at the same time? ❤gayle. Lol this is my 3rd audit. WOW you have crocheted far beyond I could have imagined. Incredible ❤❤
Nice meeting you. We’re same age and learned how to knit at 7 and thought myself crocheting from channels like your 15 years ago.
Good luck, and hope we’ll learn a lot from you, and that you post requested tutorials and also new yarns. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Juan . 53 male here and been crocheting since I was about 7 or 8. The possibilities are endless with crochet !!!
I also have a small YT channel and have found it fun / interesting connecting with others. Looking forward to your videos. Be well, Miguel.
Love this! After being Facebook friends for so long, it's great to see a vid (see/ hear you!) ... Brill vid & oh my gosh all your yarn! 😁
So happy to meet you. I'm a crochet nut since I was 15. I'm now 67. I will be looking forward to your vlogs.😊
Glad I came across your channel today. Love your scarf!!! I can tell purple is your favorite 💜💜 it’s gorgeous.
Have you tried Furls hooks? I have 1 prym hook but mostly use Furls. They work for my wrists the best. The skinny hooks are just not for me.
The blankets are gorgeous 😮💜
I just started my channel not too long ago. LOVE the yarnie community!!! The support from the other RUclipsrs is incredible!!
Hi!! I just got my first furls last week and haven’t tried it yet. I’m going to give it a run and see how it pairs up! I hear nothing but great things about it so I’m super excited!! Yeah, I have to say and agree how supportive everyone is. It’s so awesome to see and experience!
Yea! And you’re a Lefty like me. I also use the yarn from the outside of the skein. In case anyone is wondering, crocheting left handed un-twists the yarn if you center pull off the ball.
Hello! Looking forward to your channel. Waiting on some great tutorials!! Love the shawl!! What a gorgeous throw! Gosh, your so talented!!
After BoD mentioned you I decided to take a look, and am so glad I did. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your corner-to-corner blanket! That's fantastic. It's nice to see other men working with yarn and hooks. Thank you for putting this out there!
Hi Juan! Crystal of BOD has introduced me to you and I am grateful she did. I look forward to watching all your videos. Keep being you! Dana 😃💜
Hi. You do beautiful work. I am making a king size blanket, in moss stitch, holding 2 strands of 4 weight yarn, at once, and using a #10 mm. hook. One strand colour goes from start to finish and the other strand changes colour, using many scraps, at random, planned or otherwise. I learned this from Yarn Geek’s first YT video. Also I have made 6 infinity snoods in Latté cakes, chaining 80 stitches, twisting, then joining (leave straight if you like) then working in rounds. They are light and soft. I made mine 15-18” so it could be pulled up over my head and still stay tucked inside my coat at the back. Love, Audrey. ❤️🇨🇦🧶
I just discovered Prym hooks and absolutely love them! A lot of ergonomic hooks were never really comfortable for me since I have more of a pen hold but now I'm saving up to get a hole Prym set. And yeah, that blanket was definitely giving off Reesie's vibes lol, I'm glad you said you liked working with the DT yarn, I've been meaning to try it out but each time I remember I've already drove past it lol.
Hi Juan, nice to meet you! My name is Petra. I was made aware of your channel by Crystal. Always nice to see a new channel with yet another creative yarn addict! Would love to see more of your work so I am sticking with you, subscribed right away. I would also like to mention that I love that you make big things, that is definitely something that will make you stand out in comparison with other channels. There are not many out there that make big things, especially when it comes to clothing for men and women. So again, nice to meet you and keep us hooked! 😀
Hi Juan, Crystal (BagODay) told us about you. Enjoying your 1st video and your blankets and scarfs are so pretty! Love the colors! Can’t wait to check out the rest of your videos.
I love your work !!! Your blankets are beautiful, and I love your scarves !!! I have used Red Heart yarn all my life ( I learned to crochet when I was 9, but didn't really do much other than a few very plain scarves. I left it alone for years; just picked back up on it a couple years ago. I'm 67 now, and I have learned so many stiches and patterns in such a short time. I've learned Tunisian and Entrelac, looking forward to trying Mosaic next. Please keep making videos; I cannot wait to see what's up next 💗 ( your yarn stash is to DIE for !!)
Nice to meet you. I’m a lefty crocheted too!
I like that you are open to finding yarn at the dollar stores! No the normal place to go for yarn but good to know you can find some good yarn finds.
We're here Juan so glad to be a part of Your Yarn Family 😊 im 57 and I've been crocheting for 30+ years and refuse to live one day without it 😂. BOD sent me and im so glad to meet you here. Have an amazing day, God Bless ❤
Welcome to the yarnie community and the content-creating community! 😊 Beautiful makes! ❤
Wow all your blankets are so beautiful and the amount of time it took to make those. That's amazing.Juan.
Welcome to the community Juan! Happy to follow you! 😊 I am all for you reviewing other crocheters - I also follow Bag-o-day, done a few of her blankets and ponchos, and I also follow Mickey; these two are my crochet teachers 😊
They're great teachers and designers!
I to have been crocheting since I was fifteen. I am now 57 years old. I have made a lot of things mostly throws, blankets, bedspreads, shawls, etc. I love to crochet along with Fiber Spider, Bag of Day, and lots of other people on RUclips. I just found your video. You do a great job. I wish you had told us a little more about you. I know you do not want to get to personal on here. I would love to know what state you live in. I am a big guy and most things I make have to be big to fit me. Thank goodness that I am only 5’ 7” tall. I liked you video a lot. You seem to be very nice and you appreciate the crocheting as something that is fun to do. Thank you for sharing.
I tell everybody that I went to RUclips University. That is where I learned new stitches and learned how to crochet so many things.🎉🎉🎉
Just tripped over your channel. Don’t worry, I’m fine. The bruises will disappear in a couple of days..😁 I subscribed immediately btw.
Seriously, I’m so impressed with your patience and tenacity in making the big stuff! I don’t have that same attention span (I currently have roughly 12 WIPS on the go) as I need to swap and change colours and patterns often.
I’m now going to binge-watch the rest of your posts.
Congratulations !
How handsome for over 40! LOL! My oldest is a teeny bit younger. He dealt with bullying as well, but crochet was not his escape valve. Now I am sharing crochet with his kids! I am inspired by your gorgeous woven items.
Hi Juan. Just subscribed from South Bronx, New York. Your creations are beyond beautiful. You have a wonderful sense of color. Very happy RUclips recommended your channel. Looking forward to watching previous episodes as well as new ones. Welcome and many blessings to You. 💜🤗💜
Juan, l also was watching Cristal (Bag a Day crochet). She’s lovely, down to earth person. She say,s you love pink. 😅Juan l think you are amazing, the colours the design, beautiful. I’m so glad you found Crochet . Keep up with all the great clips.
Hi Juan, enjoying your content. Don’t worry about the picture, for me I don’t get upset with such trivia. You’ll love it generally, just block the haters, they’re everywhere. Have a great week.😊
Hey Juan welcome to the yarny community!! You have done a great first video and absolutely gorgeous makes and wips!! I can't wait to see more of your video's!!! ❤
Hello Juan! Wonderful to find you! Crystal is a gem in the yarn community, she has introduced me to many wonderful new yarn people/channels❤ Looking forward to seeing what you continue doing. I'm with you making blankets, not throws. I'm 6 ft, my son son is 6'10", the rest of the fam are tall as well! Just takes a little more time and yarn😂
Hello Juan!! Crystal of BagODay, talked about you in one of her videos. You do beautiful work!! Depending on where you live - if it its cold like here in Wisconsin - I wear my triangle scarves outside 🙂 C2C blankets are my go-to pattern. That and the virus stitch blanket. I make baby clothes. I am going to attempt an adult size sweater soon. Probably MJoffthehook's granny pop sweater. I love the granny stitch! I have been crocheting 55 years, i learned when i was 9 yrs old!!. And still find new things to try - like mosaic crochet. Right now I am hooked on filet crochet! Have a wonderful day!! Oh - while I do make various size blankets - depending on who ask. I normally make all of my blankets queen size. I like to wrap myslef up in my blanket, quilt or comforter LOL
Hi,
Congratulations on your new channel.
Red Heart all the way!!!
Hi there!! Thank you so much!! I love watching your videos as well!!
Hola Juan. Do not forget that when you buy a machine-made item they do NOT last long. When you buy a handmade crochet item they last a long, long time. My friend showed me her great-great-grandma's crochet blanket. Her great-grandma used it all the time. Now she uses it on every special occasion. It is over 110 years old and it is still intact and beautiful.
Love your take on Crystal’s sampler beanie! I need to make that version for my daughter!
Beautiful projects. You seem like a really chill person, definitely my type of guy. I like Mikey too.😊 This was a good video. You did very well for the first one. Keep up the good work. I’m sure there are plenty of people who will love watching your videos. Have a great day.🤗
Love that your room is so neat and clean, and everything is so organized
Hi Juan!
Crystal sent me here 😊
She is correct - I think you might be a brother from another mother!
Sending big crochet gen x Aussie love your way ❤
Congratulations on your new channel! You're doing awesome and it's just the beginning!❤
Also love your color choice for the queen size granny square gorgeous blanket.❤ I am a long time crocheted. My aunt showed me how and I never stopped. Mostly self taught. Just now trying the granny square again coincidentally. Yep, I'm 67 and still have a lot to learn. My aunt told me to put your heart into a project, make sure you use good yarns. Each piece is a part of your life. Can you teach us what is the good stuff and reasonable. Also the difference between yarn and wool. I just really got the gravity of this and thought many others would like to know. We get so excited to get into a project, you tend to overlook the basics. Our family saying. We get too soon old and too late smart (maybe)..
