[@christineprice5463]

Thanks to all of our veterans in both countries. Love your choice of colors. The bubbly pattern reminds me of lily flowers. Lovely.

[@mistyblue5312]

That was very nice of you to give to a shout out to our Veterans/Remembrance day. 🙏🏻🙏🏻We cannot thank them enough for all they have done for all for us. Love your fingerless mitts by BOD! Gonna check out that tutorial. Thanks Gary.😊

[@kimmcquaid8189]

That hat with the flower look on top is just beautiful. 😅I love the colors and the pattern

[@valackerman7519]

Very kind of you to remember our veterans ❤and I see your Poppy...

[@cindyweaver2392]

I LOVE this version of the bubbly hat. The colors are gorgeous!!

[@cclark1273]

I totally love pixel and I'm so happy when you show how he's doing thank you for that

[@andrealouis-visser4973]

Thank you for remembering all those who’ve served our countries in the armed services. Yes, it has gotten pretty dark here as well. Think we may be in the same time zone (Wisconsin). Definitely totally dark by 5 pm. Looking forward to your gift ideas. 🎉❤ love the Brioche hat and the yarns you chose to make it. Your color choices are inspired-and they inspire me to get more out-of-the-box. Also loved your hat pattern in the blue yarn. Lovely! Glad you are feeling better as well!

[@GrandmaLM]

I think he is Vancouver, west coast. I’m in Minnesota though.

[@urbanyarn]

The sad part of the shorter days is that I've got only a small window of time to take Pixel for walks. I give her three walks a day and it means some of them are in poor lighting. Thank you for the sweet message about the makes. Every Christmas I try making all my gifts, so I'm getting in early.

[@barbarawiltz9453]

I love Hanks ensemble.

[@roxannapurcell7305]

Hi Gary,beautiful makes…they’ll be truly treasured by those who receive them.Ahhh Pixel you’re so adorable!❤️😊

[@denisejobeck853]

You are a true artist of crochet. Your ability to mix colors, yarns and stitches are stunning works of art.

[@urbanyarn]

Your comment is so sweet - thank you for being so encouraging. I'm very humbled.

[@pattiripley7599]

Brioche hat looks like old fashioned glass hanging ornaments. Agree with you about the top looking like a flower

[@dianestiebel]

First time i got ur post even though Juan and Crystal always talk about u. As a vet US Army appreciate ur shout out.i learned to knit in Girl Scouts when i was 12 but am better at crochet i taught myself when i was deployed.was hard because i am left. Handed though i knit right. The diections were in a woman's magazine and righthanded. I finally succeeded and now can teach both ways but still need help with both crafts.need to see your previous posts. So many posters have so many great videos i stay up too late good thing i am retired or try to be 4

[@carrieridolfi7080]

That haT is GORG!!!!! Everything you do is beautiful!! 😊

[@gingerfoxx1476]

I love the look of that brioche hat. When I used to knit, I never got to advanced patterns like that. Well done! Your gift recipients this year will love your creations.

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you! 😊

[@sharonkavanagh428]

Hi Gary I love your channel you are such a inspiration I look forward to all your knowledge and new projects and I love where you live i love I'm bc is truly beautiful. Maple Ridge

Hi Gary you got your first snow. We live in the rain shadow so not much rain and very little snow. Glad you are getting better. The hat is beautiful and your dyed yarn WOW. Kathy

[@RoselikescrochetB]

Gary that peacock 🦚 feather hat is stunning!💜

[@urbanyarn]

Hello Rose!

[@Quietly501]

Love, love, love the Sampler Hank is wearing! ❤

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you so kindly - I did have a lot of fun making it. It's so fuzzy!

[@tormakhmariajulia955]

I loved that blue hat

[@thryssinstitches9655]

Omg of course youre welcome. You given me so much. Ive been around from just about the beginning. I just rarely comment. I started coming out of my shell this past year being on youtube. Youve been one of a few that helped distract me during chemo and i cant thank you enough

[@gioiacasterline4835]

Prayers for continued health. Love the scarf on Hank but when do I not. Lol. Omg that hat is gorgeous so talented Gary, unbelievable. Kudos

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you so much Gioiacasterline! It's always so wonderful reading your messages.

[@nancyfink4828]

Hi Gary! 🙋 Glad you're feeling better! Always love your makes weather crochet or knit. I really do like the brioche hat, once again amazing color choices. I always like when podcasters mix things up a bit. Congrats on your bingo win and I can't wait to see what Thryss dyed up for you! Til next time! 🤗

[@hobbiesandmoremaryking]

Hi, everyone is so great you are so talented, love watching you

[@stephanienorris364]

That sampler scarf/wrap is gorgeous.

[@christielamb2894]

So very glad you're feeling better, Gary. As usual, your finished projects are really gorgeous! I'm definitely going to have to visit Crystal's glove tutorial. I don't know how I managed to miss that one. But, then again, she does have quite the BODy of work to choose from so it's entirely possible to miss something. Your fingerless gloves turned out so great! My hands are always cold and your gloves look so warm n cozy, I actually felt a twinge of jealousy. 🥰 Your beanies are so beautiful! I'm in love with your Bush Beanie and definitely will be visiting your link. Your Bubbly Beanie, just turned out amazing! I haven't had the courage to try my hand at brioche knitting patterns yet, though I love the finished look of items I've seen. Pixel is just the cutest little girl. I look forward to your next video and wish you many happy stitches. 💜✌️🧶

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you for all those kind words. They are so encouraging. I'm so excited when I read of all the wonderful things you are making as well.

[@EmmePhillips-HookinEmme]

The bubbly is insanely gorgeous! I love it so much!

[@thryssinstitches9655]

Ohh i remember your ceramic days. Theres a bowl im in love with that you made. Just stunning

[@barbaramartin6837]

Love the Bubbly hat, way beyond my comfort and skill level, but I appreciate your fine work. With your colour sense I can definitely see you pull green, teal and blue yarns to fashion a peacock feather hat.😊👍🏻

[@urbanyarn]

Hello barbaramartin - I am actually working on the Willow Cowl that uses the perfect colours for peacock feathers.

[@peggyharwell3674]

Wow, the fingerless gloves are just perfect. Now. I have to return to your video

[@urbanyarn]

Crystal over at Bag-O-Day is great teacher and has the perfect projects.

[@sandrapalmer5642]

I made those last year for my family. Everyone loved them. My big burley brother gets cold easy and he likes to be in his garage and doing Sudoku so I made him a pair thinking he will not wear them but he loved them and wears them all winter.

[@urbanyarn]

I know I'm going to make more of the gloves for others to gift them over the Holidays!

[@wendyschmidt4339]

💕🙏🏼🌷 That hat is absolutely gorgeous

[@lilianrivera3069]

[@cclark1273]

ILY Gary!

[@katedavy6272]

[@LoriParsons]

As always Gary all your makes are simply beautiful!☺️

[@linda11640]

We have a cat named Pixel, she is black with tiny orange and white spots all over. I always enjoy seeing what you've been up to.

[@urbanyarn]

Awe Linda - Your Pixel sounds adorable!

[@nelliehedrick3147]

Bubbly hat looks like peacock feathers to me also... would love to see it in emerald green and sapphire blue. ❤❤❤

[@ali_b_lush2]

I love the idea of a yip-yip! I bet it was awesome. Congrats on winning!🎉

[@Grandmama-Rainey]

Gary, your talent inspires me. I love the brioche hat. I have a perfect yarn I've been saving for a special pattern. I've made a few of the gloves from Crystal's patterns. My children and grandchildren love them! The cowl is stunning! Give Pixel a scratch for me. I hope you continue to get well and Chad remains well! Yip-yip would be so fun! 💙

[@urbanyarn]

Hello Grandmama Rainey! So great to read your message!

[@shirleyspring4905]

Those hats are very beautiful. I love the pattern on both sides of that second one. Just amazing! You knit awesome things! Very nice Bingo yarns. Hope you’re feeling better by now. Pixel make a good nurse. 😊

[@urbanyarn]

Thanks for the well wishes - I'm feeling almost 100% my usual self. Pixel was great company when we were home together.

[@preciousbeautyj1043]

Hi Gary, Pixel is such an adorable puppy, gotta love him. Your makes are lovely as always, the bubble/bobble hat is so beautiful, I’m partial to the inside mostly bcuz it showcases more green. To help your throat, take a tablespoon of honey w/lemon juice 3X a day or a bit of pineapple juice w/ginger and crushed garlic. Feel better soon even tho the fluctuation of the weather doesn’t help.

[@urbanyarn]

Thanks so much 😊 for all those wonderful beverage remedies. I'm feeling back to myself, but these drinks sound like they would be nice anytime.

[@barbaraamping5659]

Love your gloves 👍

[@sherryhenrichs1759]

Hey, Gary!! Seems like it's been forever since I have seen one of your videos. Glad to hear you.

[@alisongomes684]

Hi Gary, glad your feeling better. I just love that inside out hat. Your work is just beautiful ❤️

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you so kindly Alison!

[@brendamcchristy6044]

I am so happy you feel better. Crystal's fingerless gloves are super!

[@urbanyarn]

Thanks Brenda - I just pulled out more yarn last night to create the next set of Crystal's gloves.

[@entwinedmar]

OMG Gary, congrats on winning bingo and the yarn created just for you. Can wait to see that yarn when it comes to you. Pixel is getting so big, she looks a bit mischievous, but then again, she is still pretty young. All yours knits are so beautiful, I hope those receiving them enjoy them to the fullest. Can’t believe you have snow already, here it is pretty good weather wise. I send greetings from Toronto, all the best as always to you and yours.

[@urbanyarn]

Hello Entwinedmar from Toronto! Our snow only happened one day (out of no where) and it hasn't snowed in the Valley since. Oh we do love our little Pixel girl. You have it correct that she gets up to mischief when no one is looking. We have a few shredded things we found while our backs were turned.

[@MadMimisCrochetandFarming]

Love all your lushiness

[@urbanyarn]

Hello Laura - I'm super excited for the new yarns.

[@jodyc8887]

You are so creative!! I was just a crocheter until I started watching you quite awhile ago. You inspired me to try knitting and I’m hooked!!! Thank you for the inspiration ❤

[@urbanyarn]

Hello there Jody. Thank you for letting me know your begun new things in your yarn crafting. This is exciting and I want to hear all about when you make those new discoveries.

[@NCLaurie]

Hi Gary! Wonderful makes! So glad to hear you’re feeling much better and well on the way to full health! Have a wonderful day!

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you kindly!

[@gjmiller138]

You are so talented Gary and have such a willingness to tackle new things. You have been my inspiration to pick up knitting at the age of 68. I'm currently knitting my first stranded colorwork pullover sweater for my little granddaughter. Now I am ready to give Brioche a try. Because you are willing to challenge yourself resulting in beautiful creations I'm inspired to do the same. Thank you Gary for being wonderful you. Hugs

[@urbanyarn]

I'm so happy to read that you've taken the plunge to try new things too! It's all in the learn that we love to explore. Opening up new areas of possibilities is the best part of being a crafter (also playing with colour and keeping the hands/mind/spirits busy) - it's all gravy in my mind!

[@EllensCrochet]

Oh my that Bubbly hat is gorgeous 💕🧶

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you so much! It was so fun to see the stitches bobbing and weaving as I was finishing each round.

[@mcollier3101]

Love the gloves!

[@nancyhildreth8582]

Love all your projects. I've never tried brioche. You make it sound so fascinating. Feel better soon.

Hi Gary. Love all of your creations. I like to mix my colors too, but you really go outside the box.😁

Thanks Danette!

Thank you for the video! Love your WIP’s!! 😊

[@RG-yf3uj]

Glad you & Pixel are starting to feel better. Hope you both feel completely better soon. I was just thinking today of my finalized list of things to make for my last few gifts & gloves came to mind so this couldn't have come at a more perfect time 🙂 Thank you! Yours came lovely.

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you for letting me know that the gloves came to mind for a gift and perhaps Crystal's tutorial might be a nice one to follow. I really like wearing mine when I'm working Pixel!

You are a beautiful soul ❤

[@urbanyarn]

Awe Nancy you are so sweet! Yes indeed we would have so much fun together... Yarny hugs right back at you. I did go to Florida once to catch a cruise in 2022, so it occasionally happens that I'm in your area. I even went to two Hobby Lobby stores when I was there. We found a cool Tiki lounge in the city area as well which was so much fun.

I love those hats; I need to learn to knit so I can make them someday. However, I DO crochet and will be making something soon, using the rice stitch. You have a lovely channel and I look forward to your videos. Thank you, Gary!

Thank you friend for leaving this cheerful message.

Love all your knit items. Just re-learning knit. 3 basic afghans on the needles, lol! Love the BOD fingerless gloves. And, I've watched 'Bodies' which was very interesting and I liked it. My heartstrings were with 1940 ish officer and the girl and the married offficer and the photographer... will check out The Patient. Thanks for sharing 😊 Pixel is very pretty!

[@urbanyarn]

Hi Josephine - I'm glad you liked "Bodies". My favourite story was the 1890-ish timeframe.

[@FiberFloozieCrafts]

Dream in Color is dyed in Tuscan, Arizona 😊. Your brioche is fantastic. Congratulations on your new channel yarn 🧶 Feel better soon ✌🏻

[@urbanyarn]

Thanks for letting me know where Dream in Color is dyed. I checked out their website and their hand dyed yarn are so scrumptuous! I'm super excited about Thryss's yarn.

[@urbanyarn]

Hi Aida - thanks for letting me know which timeframe you liked best in "The Bodies" series. The 1940's option is a definite winner for other in here as well. Mine would have to be he 1890's.

[@pattigolden1]

Love "bubbly", I think I might need to work on my brioche skills. 😂 I'm really into making cowls, I just finished 2 of the "roadrunner".... the first I really messed up on, I grabbed what I thought was worsted, it was sport!!! It made it very drapey....checked my receipt and discovered I did order worsted, they sent sport!! 😲 They replaced it free!! Almost done with the 1 in the correct weight now.

[@urbanyarn]

Oh no! Getting the wrong weight yarn isn't fun, but it's great that the company supplied the correct yarn at no extra cost. That's good customer service. I'll have to check out the Roadrunner pattern. Thanks for letting me know what you're working on.

[@judyscreationsincrochet2710]

Love, love, love your Bubbly hat. The yarn Dream in Color is I’m sure from the US. (The clue is the way they spell Color/colour) I have some of it. I haven’t used it yet. Love the colours you got!
