    I’m 52 and an item on my bucket list was to take up a fiber Art. I am on my 5th project, I took up knitting and crocheting. Your channel has been very helpful and entertaining. Thank you to you and Cody!

    I’ve only watched afew minutes of this video, however I’m so glad that you spoke about the price of yarn. I’ve made numerous babies blankets for friends and family. People don’t take into account the price of the yarn & the amount of time this beautiful handmade blanket took to create. Very rarely have I noticed lately any appreciation for our skill. My hands are not what they use to be nor is the price of yarn. Now I am very selective as to whom I will crochet anything for. I’d rather purchase a gift card , and save my hands for someone that will truly appreciate what I have made for them or their family. Has anyone else noticed this?

    • @chrisfineart
      @chrisfineart 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Yes!!!! Absolutely. I only make things for people that want to pay me for my skills, or who is a huge appreciator of the needle arts and other realms of art it’s self. I made and sewn quilts for family members and I have never seen any of them used. I always thought that they either did not like the quilts and just thrown them out or gave them away. It hurts tremendously when an artist makes something for someone and then they either don’t appreciate it and did not like it. All in all, I am in complete agreement about only making things for others that we know will appreciate our needle arts work and other modes of artwork.

      I guess it depends on the person but my little sister loved the blanket that was made for her daughter. We always use nice colors and try to match the nursery colors. We also use nice patterns. I also get that some people aren’t appreciative of yarn made blankets

    You mentioned other crochet channels showing their blankets and trying to find something different for you to show. Please keep in mind you are very good at teaching and easy to follow. Where some of the other channels are not.
    I always look at yours first when starting a new project. So even if everyone else has done a certain stitch or blanket, a lot of us would like to see you explain it. 🥰
    Also, do you prefer one store over the other for yarn shopping?
    Keep the tutorials coming! 🤗🤗🤗❤

  • @katiezimmerman8650
    @katiezimmerman8650 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

  • @hillbillyheavenWV
    @hillbillyheavenWV 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Dear Glenda, I agree with you if it’s not machine wash & dry then forget it!
    Where exactly are we suppose to lay flat a large afghan to dry??? Even if I wanted too…😂
    Also as a huge fan of your tutorials I just wanted to let you know that I’m glad you do tutorials even if it’s a stitch or pattern that someone else has already done because you are a great teacher & some are not.
    Thank you for all your wonderful tutorials, my favorites are your unique & floral dishcloths❣️
    Blessings to all 🙋🏻‍♀️🦋💜

  • @pupsandcrochet57
    @pupsandcrochet57 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Glenda and Cody you go. I do agree the prices are crazy anymore. Loops and threads is my go to brand. It’s soft and colorful plus you can get coupons for them. You go granny!!!

  • @Oceangirl_505

    Glenda, please buy that Yarn Carrier that you saw the other day for yourself! ❤

    @karenjsp1 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I always like to touch yarn, as similar content can have a different twist/durability/drapey even differing in same line with different colors.

  • @KellyAnneCalabrese-si6wb
    @KellyAnneCalabrese-si6wb 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    👋 Glenda and Corey! What a great idea! The increasing prices of yarn is making it more difficult. I bought a couple Caron cakes on clearance and then matched them up with Loops-n-Threads for blankets for Christmas gifts. Joann Big Twist Value also good deals IF the coupons work. I have better luck in-store with them these days. ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💚

  • @Innerbeauty328_22
    @Innerbeauty328_22 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Yes true, 12.98 for one yarn is above my budget

  • @ShawnLawson414
    @ShawnLawson414 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I just bought a ton of loops and threads soft classic. Variety of colors. I’m working on a granny square blanket. My skills aren’t great and I can’t seem to get nice edges in a regular blanket. I’ve tried a lot of things. I’m getting better but that’s an investment for poor edges yet. I love the loops and threads impeccable yarn. I’ve used it a lot on my knitting machines. It feels good and has beautiful colors. Next time you have a challenge go where the sales are. Where I live I always check Michaels, Joann’s and hobby lobby apps before I go shop. I often have limited budgets. Also if you put yarn in your cart online then close out within a day or two you’ll get an email saying look what you forgot with an additional percentage off coupon. I’m sure with your experience you know all of that. I’ve only been at yarn arts for about 4 years max. A year of that I used my circular knitting machines. Addi’s and Sentros. I have 6. Then I learned to crochet and rarely use them. They just sit in my craft room. I love your videos. Do you have any on help with straight edges? I’ve tried stitch markers for counting and stacked SC to turn. I never like how they look. It might just be my tension. I’m not sure. I do a lot of granny squares or small home decor or accessory patterns that don’t require straight edges. Even small dishcloths to me look wonky. I’m having fun though and love crochet. I’m definitely “hooked!” Keep the videos coming. I love seeing Cody too!

    I always find when you got some money there is never enough of the colour you want when you go to the store to buy it. Best to buy online for me. You did great though. The rainbow colours are just wonderful.

  • @yarning4asmile
    @yarning4asmile 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I love that you pointed out there those are two different things, the most yarn vs what you actually will use. In today's economy that is something that really needs to be considered, even if it is on sale.

    @wandataylor6266 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The loops and threads was a good value. Can’t wait to see how that washes and dries. I’ve never used it but a lot of people do and seem to like it. I liked the Caron cotton cakes. I’d like to try it some day. ❤

    I fell in love with the cotton cake in the same color you picked. I knit a raglan tee with it and it looks beautiful but it leaves a white fuzz all over when I wear it. I have washed it and put it in the dryer. I want to try more cotton yarns to make shirts or baby blankets. The I Love This Cotton has held up pretty good. I made a scarf with it and it is super soft. I want to knit a shirt with it too. Thanks for letting us go on your shopping spree with you. Rachel S.

  • @ChristinesCraftTable
    @ChristinesCraftTable 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    😲I can't believe you didn't use up the $100! LOL I would have used up the rest with Loops & Threads 100% cottons if they had any, or more of the soft classic. I love that yarn. 😊

    Hi Glenda. It really doesn't matter how many bucket hat or ripple patterns there are, we as crocheters have our favorites. I do plenty of your Stitch of the Week. BOD is another constant in my WIPs.
    I only buy on SALE!!! Loops & threads is very nice and the cotton cakes.

    Love you and Cody working on this together! I hope you visit the fairs again this year to look at finished projects! So fun to see! I also would love videos on attaching satin binding around a crochet baby blanket or fabric to the back of a crochet blanket. Maybe these are silly ideas but I'm thinking how much babies like that satin edging on blankets! I know I have seen a blanket finished that way but would love a step by step! Keep up the good work! You guys are fun to watch!

    No tax on yarn in PA which is where I live too, as long as it’s for a garment that is worn. Tell them at the check out. Although Walmart charges tax because it’s not their system.. so I’m told. From another grandmother. 😊 hope this helps.

    What a nice grandson. He should have a chat with my granddaughters about how much fun it is to give Grandma a shopping spree :) You picked some really pretty, and practical yarn. All set for hours for crochet fun. So funny...my Michaels is hundreds of miles from yours but I have the same problem. I find a yarn I get so excited about but....there will be only 3 skeins.

  • @kimberlymendenhall4449
    @kimberlymendenhall4449 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hi Glenda and Cody. I've used all of those yarns you've purchased. I use the Loops and threads soft classic for my dolls. I use the cotton cakes for market bags. I've used the other loops and thread color way you purchased for a baby blanket. I like their yarn. Decent price. I go when they have sales as well. This was fun. My turn Cody!! 😂 I'll go when they have a sale too. 😂 ❤ Take care

    Thanks Cody for the shopping spree🎉! Glenda, great job picking out the yarns you know you’re going to use 😊! I’ve never used the loops and threads yarns, so I’m curious about how they’ll work up😊. I’ve not been to a Michael’s in a long time(it’s 40mins away from me)! Thanks for sharing your shopping trip! Take care 🙏🏻🤗💕!

  • @KrissD.
    @KrissD. 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    At least your Michaels has 1 and a half aisles of yarn plus some clearance bins. I went into mine last week and it was just completely sad. 😔 I literally walked out. They had nothing. Had only barely one aisle of yarn and not one bin of clearance yarn. And what yarn they did have was not great. 😢
    It just really made me sad and mad at same time.
    You know you don’t have to get yarn only to make blankets with.. like those cotton cakes you got.. or others you could make a great summer top or something like that too.😜
    Cody giving you his grandma $100 to shop for yarn is just the sweetest thing ever!
    Maybe you should’ve made the challenge for either Joanne’s or hobby lobby. 😜

  • @cynthia7445
    @cynthia7445 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    $100 - to buy a yarn I like AND I will use - I lose!! i agree with Glenda. I like to touch the yarn to know how soft it is. Then I can buy more online if there is a good sale. For those who qualify, don't forget your senior discount.

  • @roseydiva1183
    @roseydiva1183 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great challenge! Your Michael's has a larger selection than the one in my town. Even my Hobby Lobby has shrunk down to an aisle and a half with end caps. Seems like before long we'll be purchasing everything on line which will be a bummer!

    I have found what I use. If they have variegated. I get all and then a solid color. Just depends how many and depends on how many rows of each color.

  • @marytilstra4151
    @marytilstra4151 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I love the texture of some of the plush and fuzzy type yarns you were looking at but, for some reason, I just can't work with them. They don't glide across my hand and/or hook like they should. And frogging is very challenging.

    I agree that it’s very frustrating to go in person to stores and their stock is so low that you can’t get enough to complete a project with one dye lot. I prefer to see and touch the yarn before I buy. Online shopping just doesn’t do it for me.
