Thank you for showing the beautiful yarns from Joann, especially the Menagerie and the Handpainted. I went a little crazy ordering. Truly, I don’t considering it panic buying as I would have ordered these anyway at the great price points and coupons Joann was ordering. I wish the Menagerie came in solids as well. The feel and stitch definition of Menagerie is what pulled me in. Looking forward to you future videos. 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you so much for showing projects in both knit and crochet...it is so helpful! I too do both but tend to gravitate towards crochet...your sweater is gorgeous....no I need to buy some of this yarn too on top of my 4 boxes of panic buys, lol. ❤❤❤❤❤
Those sweaters look great. Glad to hear the yarn is nice to work with. Did your fav stripes yarn ship? Mine finally did. Expecting the majority of an order today. I too placed an order on Friday. Part of it shipped and part is processing. It would be great if everyone's "panic" buying helped them out. The store in Thornton I checked out over the weekend still had a decent stock of yarn but none of the new stuff in stock. So I'm glad I was able to get it online.
Yay! I just received the book last night! I am looking forward to making sweaters for my granddaughters. I am going to try using bigger yarn/hook for my 7 year old. Thank you for showing us that book!
Yep, that’s what I’m doing. My gauge was big anyway on the first 3 weight I used. I had to go down to an E hook and was still large. Works in my favor since the bigger girls want sweaters too.
Thank you Shannon for sharing! I love the crochet sweater found your channel not long ago cinnamon stiches mentioned you I checked out your videos and I loved you are so excited speaking but at the same time it's so relaxing listening to you love it. Thank you❤
So happy you found me. I do tend to speed talk when I get excited and it’s yarn, how can we not get excited about yarn? I love Jennifer, I’ve been watching her for years.
Thank you. I was on a role and didn’t want to put with one down. I really do like how well this yarn is working up in both knit and crochet. It feels nice in the hands.
Great review, thank you 😊 love to see in both knit and crochet, the crochet sweater is beautiful. I had been looking at the pattern book online, very tempting 😊
You are so welcome! I’ve enjoyed this book and am going to get a lot of use from it. I’ve got more colors coming in too so we shall all see more being made up.
Both the knit and crochet sweaters are working up beautifully. I did some "window" shopping on Joanne but sadly the heating bills duting this polar vortex recked the yarn budget. Happy for all that are able to take advantage of the great prices.🎉Create your Happy🎉.❤
Very pretty, thanks for showing your projects with this new yarn. I am waiting my order from Friday with them to start shipping, it says order processing. ❤ I did do two more panic buying orders last night of big twist value 😊. I have the same issue with where to store the yarn that is coming. I figure it will start taking the place of some yarn I have used and it is a good reason to organize the yarn in 2 of my closets.
It is a fun yarn! I hope your orders ship soon and you enjoy making something with it! 😊 I’ve not gone after the Big Twist Value yet with all these other yarns JoAnn has gotten in. I’ll probably regret that. Those are larger skeins and take more space. The K&C hanks I ordered can be squished in more. It’s my justification anyway
@@anotheryarn yea I got one color of each of the big twist value pound and I added some skeins of the regular skeins of value but only the colors I love and use alot. Slime green, greys, blues, browns and greys
Great yarns. I havent done a panic joann buy. I got a fantastic sale there a couple months ago and bought a giant box of the Super Nova which I love love love, and there just isn't much there or on sale there that interests me at the moment. Weird, I know. We have had a couple unexpected deaths this week in extended family that is really hard on some of the close family and that's taken a lot of my attention. Hubby is retiring this week and while that's super exciting, it's a bit stressful getting through all the paperwork. Our elderly dog almost 15 years old, has suddenly taken a turn for the worse and so we are lavishing him with more attention and love even than normal. Trying to keep it together emotionally and hope he gets better. We lost his littermate sister back in July, one of our other dogs a year before that and another a year before, so are about to be dogless for first time in 17 years. I havent been knitting or crocheting or even buying yarn for a bit, but I am watching yarn videos to help me cope. I've almost finished your whole back list. :) Thank you for making fun interesting videos that help be amini break from hard things in life. It's very much appreciated.
I am so sorry you have had so much loss in your life recently, that is a tough situation to be in. Take your time, give yourself some grace. Very exciting with your husband’s retirement. Yarn will be there when you are ready. It’s always there to give you that warm comfortable feeling
Hi Shannon, I have this in my cart and am waivering due to funds. Now that I've seen it worked up, I'm going to get some, it is so pretty and I love 3 weight yarn. Thank you for showing your beautiful makes!🩵
I got an order on Thursday, and then I put more in my cart. I went to order on Friday and it was showing no longer on sale. So I decided to wait. I don't think I checked on Saturday, but then on Sunday it showed on sale again. That seems odd, maybe there was just an issue with the app on Friday and it was still on sale. So by the time I ordered yesterday, a lot was sold out. But at least I have a little more coming!
If you have the option also check what’s in stock at your local JoAnn, that coupon works for buy online, pick up in store too. I got some yarn that was sold out that way. Also as they clear the warehouse they may find a skein or two of what you were looking for.
What did you think of it? I saw some in the store the other day and made a new line towards it. The colors were striking. I couldn’t bring myself to purchase any though. Other yarns called louder
The book’s author has a website as well as many patterns on Ravelry. Mon Petit Violin. Beautiful patterns and very well written! Beautiful work Shannon! I’m a crocheter just learning to knit.
Happy to have you on board. I learned crochet first decades ago and taught myself to knit way before internet assistance. I love both crafts and think you will too.
Gorgeous sweaters! DK is my favorite weight for crocheting clothing. I haven't been panic buying because my favorite yarns aren't Joann exclusives, but I think I may have to cave and try some of the Menagerie while I can still get it!
@ That’s why I ordered it. I’m so happy you showed the yarn. I also saw some other yarn. Jellybean by big twist…I got 2 of them for 2.24 each with the additional 25% off plus free shipping. I also got some of the big twist petite…total of 12.
I was hoping for the same thing, Shannon, but I heard someone say they are billionS (yes, with an S) in debt. We can always hope, but I am thinking it's not going to save them.
The coupon u gave the other day still works. Supr961. Just got some to try. I prefer DK too. Q: do u think the pattern you are using (in pink) could be made larger to fit a teen? Love it and know my girl would love it!
I definitely think the pattern I’m doing could be made bigger. I’m making the largest size and of course didn’t meet gauge for a 9 year old. Once you work the yoke as is, you’ll have a sense for it and can do more increase rounds.
So glad to hear the menagerie is nice!!!!
I’ve worked on 2 skeins of it. I’m so happy I ordered more.
Loving the pink snake color,, almost got that wish i had.
It’s really nice worked up. I’d like to see that color knit up too.

It is so soft and works up beautifully. Of course I needed to get more of it. It’s lovely and feels so nice in the hand while working with it too.

Did you grab any discount codes? This one says it expires 2/4 SUPR961 give it a try 25% off.
Good morning Shannon thank you for sharing your projects you are making with the big twist Menagerie
You are so welcome Lydia. Have you purchased and of the Big Twist yarn?
Those sweaters are beautiful.
Thank you so much! I’m enjoying this yarn a lot.
Happy Sunday. Both sweaters are beautiful.
Thanks so much, I really enjoyed making both!
I am so glad I stocked up on this yarn. I've already started a C.S. Spring fling t shirt
I was pleasantly surprised and of course had to go get more.
Hi Shannon, Both of the sweaters are really pretty. 🧶🫂
Thank you, I’m excited about both projects too! This yarn works up really well too.
Love the swatch❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊
If your going to make a swatch, go all in 😊

I have some of this yarn….can’t wait to work with - it now that I see how lovely it works up! Thanks Shannon 🤗🧶
That’s half the battle, we buy things but will we like them? This, I really like.
@ exactly! I received my order this morning from Joann, not a fan of the new not a “tweed” 🧶
@ I didn’t get any of that one. So sorry it didn’t meet your expectations.
@@EllensCrochet which other yarns did you get?
@ I just uploaded a video. Thanks for enabling me I also got the K & C sock yarn 🧶🤣🤣🤗

So happy to have helped. It’s soft to the hand while working it.

It is such a pretty yarn! Try code SUPR961 it expires 2/4 gave me 25% off. Save some of those funds.
@@anotheryarn I had one of their "leave your stuff and they send you 25% off" codes so yes it helped a lot! Love good yarn yardage for $2.13!
@ That’s my point. At that rate, they are practically giving it away. You almost have to take advantage.

I did get jelly bean but just 1 of a few for hats...
What did you think of it? I saw some in the store the other day and made a new line towards it. The colors were striking. I couldn’t bring myself to purchase any though. Other yarns called louder
You are so fast! That's like a 40+ hours of work for me that you did there in a couple of days. Love how the yarn worked up.
It’s the new attitude, work on what excites you. I think it makes things warp speed.
The book’s author has a website as well as many patterns on Ravelry. Mon Petit Violin. Beautiful patterns and very well written! Beautiful work Shannon! I’m a crocheter just learning to knit.
Happy to have you on board. I learned crochet first decades ago and taught myself to knit way before internet assistance. I love both crafts and think you will too.
We were not worried that you ordered more yarn 😂😂😂 the melange is somewhat like the party yarn which is also a great yarn
I’ve got a good collection of the party yarn too. I bought from both releases on that line.
Gorgeous sweaters! DK is my favorite weight for crocheting clothing. I haven't been panic buying because my favorite yarns aren't Joann exclusives, but I think I may have to cave and try some of the Menagerie while I can still get it!
Even if you aren’t panic buying you may be able to take advantage of a great sale with coupons and all for other yarns.
Beautiful sweater!!
Thank you, thins yarn is working up very nicely.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ beautiful 😍
Thank you! I'm glad you think so.
Hi Shannon. I hope you are well. I had to go order that menagerie yarn. I got 2 of the rosy maple moth
That’s a pretty color, I’ve got two of them also
@ That’s why I ordered it. I’m so happy you showed the yarn. I also saw some other yarn. Jellybean by big twist…I got 2 of them for 2.24 each with the additional 25% off plus free shipping. I also got some of the big twist petite…total of 12.
@ you are going to have a lot of fun.
Lol, I am definitely going faster at the end of yarn chicken rows. 🤣
I think it’s an unwritten rule, you just have to.
Hi How does this yarn wash up?
I don’t know yet, I just got this myself, haven’t had a chance to test that part. It works up beautifully though.
Hi Shannon
It’s nice to see you! 😊
Yep, round three of panic buying just happened and I really don't have room...oh well
I’ve run out of room long ago but feel the need for one more order.
Doesn't label weigh a few ?
It does but not 7 grams. These are happily heavy. The K&C hanks were about 10% heavier too. Bonus yarn
I was hoping for the same thing, Shannon, but I heard someone say they are billionS (yes, with an S) in debt. We can always hope, but I am thinking it's not going to save them.
Wow, I don’t think my purchases will put a dent in that type of debt. 🤭
@@anotheryarn I don't think mine will, either. I may buy a sewing machine before they head out.
Sis i miss yhis pme??🫣😳✌️🧡😂
🥺
I might cave to get caron simply soft for my scarves to donate.
It’s sad, they are really going out of business. Use the coupon, get a discount on your donation yarns.
You said “Melange”….is that different than Menagerie?
No, I keep calling it the wrong name. It is the Menagerie
The coupon u gave the other day still works. Supr961. Just got some to try. I prefer DK too. Q: do u think the pattern you are using (in pink) could be made larger to fit a teen? Love it and know my girl would love it!
I definitely think the pattern I’m doing could be made bigger. I’m making the largest size and of course didn’t meet gauge for a 9 year old.
Once you work the yoke as is, you’ll have a sense for it and can do more increase rounds.
I ❤️❤️❤️working with this 🧶winner all around the feel,yardage and price
I’m in agreement on all accounts. 410 yarns and the few balls I weighed were heavy on top of it. It’s a steal of a deal for sure.
