Ha, I'm making Crystal's dragonfly shawl for a friend as I'm watching this video 😅
My mother in law crochets…I mean…,as in all day!She is 85. She crochets afghans but also potholders,dish towels,purses,Barbie clothes,and every animal there is.I still have the puppets she made my kids 30 years ago.
My grandma crocheted The Lord’s Prayer” seven times. One for each of her children and one for herself. After she passed it was the one treasured piece that I wanted. It is absolutely favorite piece I have of hers. ❤
@@cathykillion6544 What a blessing! Precious treasure for sure! 🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕
I want to crochet afghans 🎉
@@marking-time-gardens The puppets are like Gingerbread man,Little red riding hood,3 Bears,Goldilocks,alligator,Bunny,Wolf,…storybook type
@@cathykillion6544that sounds amazing. What a treasure!
In 2012, I started having grand mal seizures out of the blue. I couldn't watch tv as the flickering would set off another seizure, and it was hard for me to read. I am also not medicated ADHD. BTW your video about that helped me so much! Anyway, for about 8 months, I couldn't drive or work. So i crocheted an afghan. It was a very simple repeating couple of stiches. It helped with the boredom, kept my hands busy, but most importantly it gently taught my brain to concentrate again without overstimulation. Crocheting is an awesome therapy.
I have fond memories of knitting with my husband on our honeymoon in 2019, before our babies came along. A wonderful tradition we started on our honeymoon is buying some local yarn where we travel. That way we can make memories collecting the yarn, making projects with it, and then wearing it. ❤ Thank you for another lovely video!
Girl, I thought that was a bowl of kale on the counter and was so confused when you pulled it out 😂😂😂
😂
Here in central Florida the rain has just started, from Debby. Then it will soon be heading up your way in S. Carolina. Hang tight!
After moving to a new country, I was trying to figure out how to help my husband with our income. I then wore a shawl that my daughter crocheted for me to a party and immediately got two orders, and now I'm making hats and shawls for sale.
6:00 i just tried using linen yarn in my recent knitting project! It does feel pretty crunchy but softens up every time it is washed! And it depends on the brand too. My sister and i buddy test knit a pattern with different brands of linen yarn and hers was much much stiffer than mine! But both have softened over time.❤ I am now knitting with a 100 percent silk yarn from Knitting for Olive and i love it so far!
This is Juniper farm and everything else I have from them is top notch so I expect this will soften and be very enjoyable.
@@RootsandRefugeFarm oo I haven’t heard of that brand! I would love to try it, linen is my absolute favorite natural fiber!🥰 Do you remember the color way and yarn line you chose? I love this green!
I'm so happy you decided to pivot to the workshop from the house, you seem at peace again 🥰
Totally get the exhale of being home. My favorite part of traveling is coming home to my cats, my bed and my routine.
I saw the green shawl on the bowl and thought maybe it was a bowl of kale past it's prime 😂
😂😂 Thank you for sharing that! I was wondering the same thing! Guess we are just gardeners at heart right?🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕
😂😂😂
I did too!! So funny!
😂
Saw where someone recommended building goat climbing equipment covered with roofing shingles to wear down their hooves.
My grandma taught me to crochet when I was young. Around the age of 12, we started a blanket together when I visited her. She passed when I was 20 and I have never been able to bring myself to finish the blanket. I think about it now and then, but I have never taken that leap.
I look for yarn stores whenever we are on vacation. I try to buy locally dyed yarns and see if I can tie it to a memory of our trip. Like colors of the beach. Colors of a sunset in the mountains. Colors of a butterfly or flower I saw.
Then anytime I use or wear whatever I stitch with that, I think of that trip and memories. You’ll think of that cruise every time you use that shawl!
I'm usually crocheting when I'm watching your videos!
Great that you got the family on your cruise & that all was fun. Prayers for everyone’s safety through storms. We’re getting severe thunderstorms here in Alberta, Canada, & so far, no tornadoes or hail in our region. The rain is so welcome to aid in the wildfire containment. Blessings to everyone 🤗🇨🇦
I've been itching to pick up yarn again and usually don't crochet and knit until fall time. I might actually start something small soon!❤
I can see why you love that shawl, I love it too! It will go nicely right into the fall with lots of the fall colors you like to wear! So happy that you all had fun on your cruise too! Always exciting to travel somewhere, but also nice to come home to the comforts of our dwellings...makes you notice the simple pleasures just a tad bit more and then comes the big heartwarming smile...Hugs!
We call it spa day at our house when the cats get their claws trimmed too! They don't find it as amusing as we do though. -Fluffy Bloomers
😂
Jess, my 1/2 sister crochets for her small business. Horse hats matching to their owners sticking hats, tail bags. She dose a wonderful job. I know how you feel when your joints hurt. My daily life. Thank you for sharing. Till next time God Bless.
OMG Crystal is amazing!!!! I cant read a pattern either but so far there has not been a project of hers that I have not been able to do, she is such an amazing teacher. When I saw you had crochet out and then you said her channel and name I literally squeled with delight lol
I absolutely LOVE that you crochet on the cruise! This is my go-to chill option on a cruise as well LOL.
you are so insightful..im 58 yrs old and have been a knitter since I was a young girl of like 10....over the yrs I have probably achieved the skill level of master knitter..but its a obsession...I wake up grab my coffee and what ever project I have been working on..I NEED that time before i go to work...as an RN I really try to stay level to be effective and it totally relaxes me...weird I have never made that connection before
So glad you had so much fun on the cruise! Plus, you were crafty and made that lovely shawl! I crochet and cross stitch, and nothing is more relaxing than getting into a creative zone! ☺
I just watche Ryan Hall's weather YT video about the storm, it's still currently a tropical storm but forcasted to be a Hurricane 1 when it hits landfall in Florida. I was thinking about you guys when he was forcasting it's impact on your area. Prayers being said for no damaging weather. We've been rather dry up in South Central PA so we are praying for more moisture from this system.
I was wondering where you’d been. I’m glad you were able to go on a nice vacation as a family. ❤
Can I be your friend? 🤣 I love that green shawl you’re crocheting- the color is stunning. Lucky friend.
Oh my goodness, I ❤ Crystal and Bag O Day Crochet. After my back injury, I had to find something to do to keep my mind and hands busy. I stumbled upon her channel and learned how to crochet and have been doing it ever since. I learned how to read crochet patterns from watching amagarumi videos as some of them show the written pattern steps throughout their tutorial.
That. Green Shaw is so pretty. I am glad you enjoy making them.
I have also discovered the peace/relaxation crocheting and knitting brings.
It takes me a bit to remember the crochet pattern too! The shawl is beautiful!
Beautiful shawl! My sister's favorite color! Lovely pattern too... guess I am adding another pattern to my long list LOL! Blessings on your day Kiddo! 🌻🐛🌿💚🙏💕
I love Crystal at Bag-O-Day. I've made many of her patterns, and they haven't disappointed!
The green shawl is gorgeous! I’m going to subscribe to her channel, because I crochet in the cooler months. Thanks!
Yes! I have only successfully crocheted from TH-cam videos. I started crocheting this past winter after you talked about an easy winter hat you were making.
Love BOD Crochet! I’ve made so many of her things.
Debbie is coming to my house tonight. Pray I still have my double wide home, green house and garden.
Well, Debbie can just go visit elsewhere, drat 'er. No messing around at your place.🙏
❤️✝️🕊🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💖
❤ 🙏
I am so very proud of you and your loving family!
Agree Love Bag O'day.
Yes, I'm listening, of course, I'm listening to what you've been saying for the past minute, and yes I KNOW there are a whole bunch more minutes left in this video and that you will likely hold up that crochet piece at some point so I can see what you're working on... but what if you don't? 🤣It's all ok, though, because I can worry about it and listen to you and be curious and distracted all at the same time!! 😂🥰 EDIT (less than one minute later): Phew!!! 🤣😍PS Love the shawl (and the one in progress too!!)
Hi dear Jess! I’m in North Florida and will be experiencing the storm before you. May we all be safe and the winds/rain treats us all well. Prayers to all and infinite blessings fall on us, our families, our land, animals, and nation. 🙏🏽🌟
Learned to chain stitch as a kid 😉.
Cool to hear the back end before this posted. 😁💪
Haha the behind the scenes view! 😂😂
My mom use crochet and knit very complicated and beautiful things and is sad to see how she deteriorated and now she can't do it, she was a great cook also and now she haven,'t cook in 5 or more years! Dementia sucks! I bless you!
I was watching your livestream when you rolled over 100K and made the promise of the cruise. I am so glad it finally happened!
Praying you feel better soon. Love your shawl. Thanks for sharing with us
Hi Jess, The way that I learned to Crochet was similar, to but opposite from the way that my Dad taught me. Dad learned from his left-handed mom who sat her right-handed son in front of her so that everything that he saw was a mirror image to what he needed to do. My brilliant Granny Grace! When Dad taught me, he did the same thing because he is right-handed, but I am left-handed.
Beautiful job, Jess! You should be proud of that beautiful shawl!!
Could you fill a few paper bags with concrete, give them a little shaping, and let them harden into 'boulders' for the goats to climb? Be fun for the goats and could help keep their hooves down. The paper would rot away just leaving the concrete (especially with goat hooves cutting it up). You could even form the 'boulders' on a plastic pallet (or the metal one from under an IBC tote) so that they could be picked up by the tractor to move when/if you move the goats.
What a fun idea!❤
@@erin2535 Thanks :) If you want lighter 'boulders.' form them in foam first, then cover with concrete. Just make sure the concrete is thick enough to support the weight of the goats.
I learned how to crochet when I was in college - over 40 years ago - from my Aunt Carol, who was left handed while I was right handed. We laughed a lot during the process, lol. I love to make baby blankets. The lacier and more elaborate the better. I like to give them to friends and family when a new baby arrives. The doing really does put you in a zen kind of mind.
I want a leftie to teach me as I’m left handed and have really had a hard time learning how to crochet over the years!
@@kaylaehnat4686 Have you tried doing a face-to-face, literally, with a right hander? That's how my Aunt and I did it. We faced each other and I copied what she was doing.
@@diananazaroff5266 I haven’t but I’ll ask my sister when she is in town!! Thank you much!
The word 'outside' did it for Bear..lol. I bet he missed you when you were on vacation!
I'm glad you enjoyed the 🛳 cruise! I loved mine . I had a water-bed before I married, so the swaying didn't bother me.
My sister has crocheted for decades, and we have vids of her just crocheting right along, when she is SLEEPING in a chair!!! 😂😂😂
If Jackson and meleaha are up for it sorry if spelling is wrong, you should do a montages of them as children to a last shot of them being dropped off for college. It would be a great documentation of them for you and miah and them. ❤
That's a beautiful shawl! And natural fibers are so nice... the linen will soften up with use and washing.
We got back from our first family cruise last weekend. It was amazing. Crocheting looks so relaxing. One of my daughters tried to show me how to crochet but I couldn’t wasn’t focusing that well.
Crystal bag a day crochet is fantastic.I learned to crochet using her channel as a 62 yo adult. I have never been able to read a pattern on anything seeing is doing for me. Have a great day coming to you from Kotzebue Ak
I loved the cruise we went on for our honeymoon right before COVID. It was wonderful. But I too am such a homebody. I live not having weekend plans to run and do so I can get stuff done at home 😅
There’s no place like home,Dorothy!
You are not alone. We are currently on vacation, one that we’ve been planning on for a few years, and I can’t wait to get back and see my tomatoes, peppers and puppies. Sometimes I wonder if it’s worth the time away and money, but I know that the longing and thoughtful ideas of what to do when I get back wouldn’t be there without the inspiration of new environments.
I was so impressed when a family friend crocheted a flower to use as a bow on a present for me and my new baby. As a busy mom, I couldn't imagine having the time to do that. Learn to make flowers and bows.
I learned how to crochet by watching my Grandma. I can't read patterns either!
Going on vacation is so nice…. But it reminds you of how much you Love home ❤ , at least that’s how I feel 😊❤
Shawl is nice. Glad you had a good time.
Loved crocheting! But arthritus has taken that from me. Enjoy it!! It is quite relaxing!!
Get Ready Jess for this storm!!! We are going to get hit too.❤🌀🌀🌀
So many times I would walk into the living room where dad was buried in his crossword puzzle and mom was knitting away at her mittens. She was a volunteer for 12 years at our elementary school first grade and knitted mittens for all those students every year. "Grandma Laug" was well loved in our community. Thanks for bringing up favorite memories Jess.
Your skin is glowing, Jess!
I love that shawl! Makes me want to learn to crochet.
Stay safe during this tropical storm
Love your crocheting. Have been doing blankets since I was about 8. Then toys when I had kids. Have never done a shawl but then I have 1 daughter and 4 granddaughters with 2 more from marrying my grandson’s. That is a lot to try to make for Christmas. Maybe for next year. Will go to the crochet channel to see what it takes. Do have enough yarn for all of them. Oh and would have to make for my son’s girlfriend and for my 2 daughter-in-laws. The number just went out of luck for this year. Glad you guys had a great cruise. Take care and hugs and hearts coming your way with a few hand massages. ❤️
Love it when Bear's head pops up as soon as you say "outside". Great job on the shawls :) Glad you had a great vacation :)
Surprised to learn that you crochet. It is very calming!
Love your shawl!!! I am a knitter and can't get my head around crochet. I will check that channel out. I feel exactly the same when I get home. Isn't it lovely for your home to be your happy place. Glad y'all had a nice vacation
Hope the storm doesn't impact your family . Praying for your safety
Jess the shawl is beautiful, design is really nice! Love the colors
Glad you had a wonderful cruise. My oldest son and his wife go about twice a year.
I am glad the lambs held off on having babies.
We are due thunderstorms all week long. I just hope we keep electricity and no trees come down.
I tried to learn crochet over 40 years ago. A cousin showed me how to do the basic stitch. I just did not have the patience for it. I tried again about 14 years ago and could not focus on it. For the past 2 years, I told myself to try again. I would love to make a hat, scarf, or shawl.
Beautiful shawl! Glad you got some rest before the back to school rush. I love being in different places but I am such a homebody that I don't do it often. The traveling part and the food is the hardest. Prayers for the safety of everyone dealing with the wild weather this year.
I have made several of Bag of day slouchy hats I just love them. She is such a good teacher also. Thanks for sharing 😊
P.S. I think that your silver hair is stunning! Welcome to the Silver Circle, my friend! Zanna
Another good easy crochet channel to understand tutorials is Crystalsandcrochet, her and her helpers have worked really hard to video, translate, and photograph into many languages. There are patterns you may purchase also CALS that are free. Beautiful blankets & shawls! I will also be looking into Bag a day Crochet as crocheting is a big part of my free me time.
I love your shawls that you have made. I will be praying for your family and farm.
shawls look great! congrats
Crystal at Bag O Day is great! Most of the time when I am looking for something specific I also go to her first!!! Nice job!
Aw Jess, your shawl is gorgeous! Crystal at BOD is my go to gal also. I dislike pattern reading but can CAL to a Crystal tutorial with ease. Peace and Blessings 🧶🌱🪴🌻🌳🏡
I like hearing you briefly chat regarding the paddocks and weaning pen. Reminds me of some of our process back in the day but teaches me too. Just small bits of info in passing are so helpful. Lol. Tnx
I really love the channel woodshed theory, she is an autistic creator that has crocheting as a special interest. Also she has these great pandemic videos that I would recommend everyone to see because they are awesome!
So glad you went on the cruise now! You're right, it was now or never. The time was perfect ❤ the slow down and connection between you all will be banked and cherished forever.
I absolutely love your gray hair! I also love your shawl. I crochet as well and your work is beautiful! ❤❤❤ many prayers and appreciation from oregon
I love watching crystals channel too
I don’t really know how to read the written patterns
Just a praying for you and the family in case old Deb decides to head your way girl.
SO HAPPY you made the family cruise happen ! Take care of yourselves in the aftermath ❤️ !
That is the Most Beautiful pattern I've ever seen! Nice job! I'm shocked that no one was born while you were gone! Thank you so much for being my REFUGE! Love y'all, stay dry!🥰💚
Love your shawl, would be great in fall colors😊
I love Crystal at Bagoday SO much! She’s the absolute best crochet teacher by far(for me anyway)! She’s gotten me into crochet as much as you’ve gotten me into gardening. (It’s a lot lol)
Beautiful shawls!!😍
We love cruising! I always feel the swaying for almost two weeks after. I wish not.
I love the shawl you made. Beautiful.
Love the colors in your shaw...nice job. 🎉😊❤
Crochet channel! Both my wife and sister crochet. I sort of barely knit and cross stitch, but I love fidgety hand projects of all types for the same reasons. I just got a crochet kit, but haven't started it. THANK YOU! I find listening to be motivating too, so this is a huge help!
I really needed that crochet inspiration! Love Bag-o-day tutorials!! Jess you just blessed me 🙏💓🙏 Blessings right back to y'all 🙌 Hope everyone's day brightens ✨
Congrats check off kids cruise, glad you got a vacation!
