Hello my name is Crystal and here is a little bit about me 😀:
I live with multiple chronic illnesses that keep me bed ridden most of the time.
Crocheting and the wonderful world of yarn have become my passions keeping me somewhat sane during the battles of chronic illnesses. I hope you will follow my journey through yarn and the love of crocheting and all the possibilities it brings. Although I post video’s somewhat sporadically due to frequent flares in my illnesses, I will always be back with other videos sooner or later :-)
I really enjoy chatting and getting to know yarny friends in our wonderful community, but please be patient as my response time may be rather tardy depending on how severe my health might be on any given day. Please accept my apologies in advance.
I love making amigurumi the most, however I also really enjoy making things like sweaters, hats, afghans and anything that makes my grandkids smile! "WHATS ON YOUR HOOK?"
I’ve been in a battle for almost 15 years fighting against a host of immunological diseases. If you’re curious what my illnesses are here is my most current list, lol.
1. Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS)
2. Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)
3. Small Fiber Neuropathy
4. Rosacea (Ocular too)
5. Multiple Chemical Sensitivity
6. Connective Tissue Disorder
7. Fibromyalgia
8. Chron’s Disease
9. Histamine Intolerance - Mast Cell Activation Disorder
Also last but not least, I love reading the Bible and the study of Gods Word. What’s your favorite Scripture verse?

It is so good to see you hon. Your elephant looks so cute, you can finish it, really! I think every knows about losing your crojo, you just have to ease off and not guilt yourself. You will get back into the grove again. Start off small, like the little chicken, which is adorable. Take care of you and will see you on your next post!
So nice to see you again. You are so lucky to have grandchildren! Enjoy your time with them,as much as you can of course.
Hi Crystal, its great to see you. Your chicken is adorable. Congratulations on the new grand baby coming soon.I agree with you,chronic fatigue is horrible to live with. I've been fighting depression as well, I haven't crocheted in over a month. I hope you find your crojo soon. I miss you. Prayers and love ❤❤❤
Hi Crystal! I miss you too! I just had a craft sale on Saturday. I always have fun seeing different people coming and looking at my items. So many of them love homemade ornaments. I sold some gift card holders. They look like gingerbread man faces, or snowman, or reindeer. So cute. I looked under crochet Christmas items and it comes up. I also made Tootsie pop toppers. Those sold well too. I also made hats and scarves,a poncho. I made crochet ornaments and mini backpacks. I also made some amigurumi. I enjoyed the people, but I don't enjoy the setting up, and taking down. But that's part of the process 😊 l hope you get your mojo back to finish your items you started. Praying for you and your family. 😊
It’s always good to see you whenever you feel up to making a video. I love your chicken, it’s so cute. I can’t resist buy clearance yarn either, I’ll figure out what to make with it eventually. Lol. A new grand baby is so exciting, congratulations to your family. 🧶💜🙏🏻
Crystal, it is so good to see you today as always. I really love your chicken. It’s too cute, and now I need one too.😂
I hope you are able to enjoy some better moments in the upcoming weeks.
It is good to see you again. I hope you continue to improve. I love your projects this week. I have been busy trying to finish Christmas gifts. What an exciting part of the year!!!
The chicken is adorable!!! First one I gave seen. Glad to see you ❤
Crystal it’s so great to see you. Great haul and chicken!! Praying you find the right combination that works for your body. Do the things that make you happy even if it’s only 15 minutes finish it when you can. Enjoyed your video once again!!🧡😊

It's great to see you again xxx
I made a throw out of that blue speckled yarn. I bought the yarn from Walmart.
That elephant is so cute and that chicken is adorable, too!
Good to see you on here and Thank you so much for sharing!
Oooooo I would love to see the blanket you made with it! 😍😍😍
@ I have a channel and it’s the picture on that page. If you can’t see it well enough I could email you a picture of it. I didn’t know I would like that color as well as I do until I made that throw.
I’m so happy to see you. I have been thinking about you.
Hello Stephanie. 😀 I’m SO happy to see your still here. I appreciate you! 🥰
Great to see you again!
Hello Barbara. 🥰 Im glad I could finally make a vlog. I missed talking to you. 🤗
Good to see you again. Lost my crojo all summer so I understand.
What a treat to see you on UTube. You are such a special person. You and Llama Mama Kayla are such a inspiration. You both are in my prayers. ❤
I was just thinking about you! So good to see you!
Hi, been missing you. Glad to see you. ❤❤❤❤❤
I’ve been missing you too. 💜🥰🤗
Good morning, it is so great to see you 🥰. That is great prices on yarn that you can't pass by. I am so sorry that you have been so sick and your husband, that sounds very scary. What is your husband name? I will say prayers 🙏 for you both. Congratulations on your new graduation to be. I also have the same problem with gray yarn & pink. It's so wonderful to see you. Take care. I ❤ you too. I am working on towel toppers for craft show I have coming up this weekend.
Hi Crystal, so good to see you!
That elephant is regal!!
She wants me to crochet the headband and I said ok. Hopefully it turns out ok… 😬
Well... I haven't been getting notifications about your vids, so I was very excited to see you have some vids, but sad that I've been missing them! Wow... scary about not being able to breathe!! Hope he's feeling better now! I got the giggles about buying the cheap yarn after your talk about not buying yarn at the start!! I'd buy it too at that price! Congrats on your new grandson! I hope & pray your scopies went well! I see my Cardiologist on Wednesday as there are weird things going on with my heart. Praying it's fine! I've been struggling with crocheting too... partly as I'm adjusting to new glasses & partly added fatigue! Wow... I'm like you.... can't nap at all despite exhaustion! Yes, gut health impacts hugely on the body! I'm on lots of supplements to assist my gut health which was the worst my Dr had seen initially but is very slowly improving. 🥰Blessings from South Australia💕🐨
Hello Kerryn. 😀 I was wondering why you never left any comments on my last few videos. I wonder how many others are not getting notifications. 😩 Please let me know what the Cardiologist has to say. I pray everything is okay. Sorry you’re struggling with crocheting too. I’m so glad to see your comments again. Lots of love and hugs sent your way! 🤗🥰💜
@@chronicallycrocheting Thanks dear friend. Hopefully all is fine with my heart! 💕🐨
I'm working on Boggy Creek blankets and prayer shawls for a couple friends.
That is very kind of you to do that. 🥰
So glad to see you today! I needed my Crystal fix. 😊. Wow! Never a dull moment at your house. I get that you don’t want to video from your couch bed. It’s important to practice the life you want to live when you can-even if it’s only now and again. Hoping you and your husband continue to recover and that you once again find your cro-jo. I’ve been making mini Grinch dolls. I’ll post a photo on your FB page. 💕💜💕💜💕💜💕💜💕💜💕
Hello Barb. You are so sweet. I really appreciate you posting the picture on Facebook. I was almost ready to close it down because there isn’t any activity on it. It makes me sad but I understand because I’m not very active on it. I’m glad I didn’t because I loved seeing your photo. It really makes me happy to see my yarny friends work. 🤗🥰
Hi Crystal! Great seeing you! Congratulations on your new grand baby. Im getting a grand baby girl in February! She my very first grand baby!!🎉 Take care!❤
Honey💕 you take care of you. We are here for you. 🙏🥰🌹
Hi,Nice to see you.
Hello Judy. Thank you for always being here for me. 🥰
So good to see you. I can relate to all your symptoms unfortunately I have to work to support myself. My husband passed away 11 years ago. He got septesimia after he had flu
I’m extremely sorry to hear that Trudie. I cannot even imagine how difficult that is.
@ thank you
Well done Crystal you made it today! Hope things keep on the up ! Love your elephant! Think he might be Dumbo with his big ears ! Take care
Elephants trunk up for good luck Crystal.
I never heard that before. 😀
Crystal it’s nice seeing you back here on TH-cam. I like using the coboo yarn for making head bandana’s. Check out Crochet Corner Ph for her tutorials. I use a hook size larger than what it’s called for the drape. Also if it’s not long enough keep going till you have the size you want. You can also use the red heart yarn for making hats and donate them to a shelters.
I have missed you so much 😢. I'm glad to see you again. I have been praying 🙏 for you. Hugs 🫂 and God's blessings to you. You are my yarny sister and I care a lot about you. You are always in my thoughts and prayers 🙏. Love you. Hugs 🫂.
Hello Vicki. 😀 I missed you too. I’m sure it really added to my depression. You all do my heart good. I really needed those prayers. Thank you my Yarny sister. Love you too. 🤗🥰😬
I may be addicted to making crochet kits. I buy the pattern and then the yarn for the pattern. I put everything together in a large mesh zipper pouch. I don’t know how many kits I have. I’ve placed several orders with Lion Brand.
Hello Sherri. 🤗 On my goodness I’ve been wanting to do that!!!! I have bought some items for it. I haven’t yet but really want to. 😬😀
You can put super saver in a tight nylon stocking and wash it before you use it . I have heard this works but I don't know how to dry it. It's on TH-cam though.
That’s a good tip. 😀
They still make coboo in lichen. Would be worth a look to have enough to make a tank top. I'll check my stash. I think I have some hanging around that needs love.
That’s goodness to know! Thank you. 🤗 You’re a sweetheart. 💜 No need to do that. I first need to get my crojo back, lol. 😬
Just do what you can do!!! You are always enough.
Thank you my friend. 🥰
It's like shopping at Walmart, they have everything, but nothing at all 😂. That's the story of my yarn stash
Right?!?! 😂
Crystal. Yarn for $1 - Whooo Hoooo. Can’t pass that up.
CRYSTAL!!!😘😘😘😘😘 I am soooooo sorry I haven't checked in on you! Bad friend Bad friend! I have so much going on right now it is hard for me to keep tabs on everyone. I am going in for surgery tomorrow morning and I am rushing to get everything done before hand. Congratulations on the new grandson! Yahooo. Happy days! I promise I will text you more and keep in touch better my friend. Love you lots!🥰
I love the ears
I wish I could get yarn right now but I was just in the hospital with congestive heart failure and I know I'm going to be getting bills
I’m extremely sorry to hear that Patricia. How are you feeling now? Our health care really needs to be better, it’s ridiculous. ☹️
❤❤😊
If you figure out the secret of getting your body to cooperate please let me know 😊
Well so far I haven’t but if I do I will let you know. 😬💜
@@chronicallycrochetingplease let me know too 😮
@@chronicallycrochetingI’m subscribed to you now.
@ Thank you. 🤗🥰
