      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. 😉👍❣️.

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!

    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.

    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.

  • @sarahfisher6801
    @sarahfisher6801 Год назад +3

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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. 😊

    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.

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 ❤❤

    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!

  • @JanetJayeCrochet

    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.

    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! 😀

    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 !!)

    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 !

    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.

    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)..
