[@travelnurse1]

I was introduced to your channel by Crystal over at Bag-O-Day. I am so glad I found your channel. I love your upbeat style, and exuberance in the yarn and crochet community. I have subscribed to your channel, and look forward to your videos.

[@urbanyarn]

Hello and welcome Travelnurse! Thank you for commenting and subscribing! We love Crystal from Bag-O-Day. She's such an inspiration in the yarn community!

[@sunflowers2838]

Gorgeous shawl. Absolutely beautiful. Id wear it

[@KathleenDuncan-pu4zo]

Hi Gary when I used to knit bamboo needles were my favorite. Great shawl as all your work is so gorgeous. Kathy

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you Kathy for that compliment. Bamboo is a great choice of needles, especially for smaller delicate work where DPNs need to stay put.

[@slowcrochet]

Perfect yarn, perfect project for those colors and that mood board! Lovely spending some time with you today, Gary! 💓💓

[@urbanyarn]

Hello Mary! Thank you so much again for joining in on the MoodBoardMAL!

Thank you!

[@helenrieck2343]

WOW Gary, Gorgeous!!!❤

[@urbanyarn]

Thanks so much!

[@QEDOma]

I’m so excited to see all the projects! Gary, your scarf/wrap is so darn cute! So springy! 💗🧶 Your BODY shawl colors are fantastic and I think I would do the teal next because I’m trying to think outside the box as Gary would! LOL!

[@urbanyarn]

Hello there. I did do the teal and I'm happy that it has been incorporated into the shawl.

[@amydomestico5265]

That is stunning! You have inspired me to take a crack at brioche. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work.

[@urbanyarn]

Yay! Thank you for letting me know that you've been inspired to try Brioche. Life-lines and slow going pace will be your friend.

[@ccorbett188]

Woweeee!!! Beautiful shawl!

[@ruthieshields189]

Hi Gary! Another great video! I listen to you while I'm crocheting; you're great company. 🤗🧶

[@urbanyarn]

Thanks Ruthie for your message. I do the same as you with my favourite KZbinrs!

[@heatherholly6563]

I love your shawl! It's magnificent!

[@urbanyarn]

Thanks Heather!

[@elizabethburnett2486]

Gary that is beautiful.

[@stacyhortner8105]

I seriously don't know how you mix such different yarns, sizes, and colors so brilliantly. Soooo good! For BOD's shawl, I'd use the teal for the puffs.

[@urbanyarn]

Hello Stacy - we were on the same colour path with the teal. I wasn't sure at first, but thank you for your colour pick.

[@dismith3888]

Your shawl is stunning 🤗 the colours are perfect - you're so very creative Gary - thanks for another great video 😊🧶👌

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you! 😊

[@gregoryvozar6236]

I never come away from your videos, Gary, without feeling enriched and inspired. Watching you mix and match textures and colours, I’ve made some rather adventurous choices in my own work and have been both surprised and pleased with the results. So, thanks 🙏 for the example. Indebted I am.

[@urbanyarn]

Hello Gregory - Thank you so much for letting me know these video shares are helpful. This means so much to me.

[@cheryl-lylbaldr4560]

I am once again and still stunned by the beautiful creations you are so gifted love love love the colors. Thanks for sharing love to the family.

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you Cheryl-Lyl! Sending you and yours much joy and peace. We are doing well here and happy to be seeing sunshine to have outside adventures.

[@melissacottrill6535]

That’s really pretty!

[@melissacottrill6535]

I agree about trying one color and then trying the other color to see which one u like best

[@XiniaR72]

It is so beautifully made. The colors do feel romantic. Gret job, Gary ❤🎉

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you so much!

[@hobbiesandmoremaryking]

beautiful

[@oldmomma56]

You are getting closer!

[@urbanyarn]

I'm not really sure how this has happened. Thank you for your support - it means so much!

[@denzellay546]

Your brioche shawl is beautiful. I’ve tried two-color brioche a few times, but somewhere along the way I make a mistake and can never figure out how to fix it-so I practice my frogging techniques….and give up. You’ve motivated me to maybe try again. Always a pleasure and an inspiration to see your makes.

[@urbanyarn]

Yay! Keep trying Denzel! I like the life-lines when it comes to brioche and projects that have small areas of brioche. That way if I do a mistake I cannot fix, the area I rip back means a few hours of reworking. I do try to fix the mistake first (for learning), but there are many times I mess it up further.

[@lisapeek1]

Gary, your notification skipped me. Everything was gorgeous 😍. I'm glad I got to see your BOD shawl, gorgeous again. I'm at about the same place. We all ended up in the hospital, so sick for a month, then a death in the family yesterday. I'm just now catching up, so I will finish Crystals beautiful pattern. I'm looking forward seeing all your pieces of art. I hope you're enjoying each day. Peace 😊💛

[@emesev5381]

Sorry for your loss.

[@urbanyarn]

I'm so sorry to read your sad news. Sending you get wells and sympathy.

[@marion4351]

Colors in that shawl are amazing😊

[@the-painted-quilter]

That shawl is gorgeous

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you so much for your compliment!

[@GalwayCreations]

Hi Gary beautiful work once again,you are so talented. I love the color combination you used. I can’t match colors to save my life.😂😂❤❤

[@urbanyarn]

Hello Galway Creations - playing with colours is such a personal and stylistic approach which comes from ourselves. Keep exploring and playing, as there's never any wrong ways to use colours. You're building your own expressions.

[@romaynecarlin1249]

hiya gary! you simply amaze me with your fine talents. sharp and on point ~ stunning shawl holy cannoli! xoxo

[@urbanyarn]

LOL - Cannoli - I remember!

[@ksmith4399]

❤❤❤❤ So very beautiful. Great work on colour matching. Love the luxuriousness and squishyness 😊 I've got the Knit Picks wooden Tunisian crochet hooks. They are the best for speed and accuracy and they look so good too.

[@urbanyarn]

Hi Ksmith - I think your Tunisian Hook set in the Caspian multi coloured wood must look so charming! I'm so glad you're happy with the way they're working.

[@roxannapurcell7305]

Hi Gary,oh wow the shawl with the brioche is absolutely gorgeous!Looking forward to seeing everyone else’s mood boards/crochet.Take care. ,😊🧶🩷

Thank you Taylor!

[@judygoudreau6472]

That shawl is lovely. The colours are great! Even with all the substitutions. Looks so soft & cozy. 🤩🥰

[@urbanyarn]

Oh my! Judy I had all the boxes open looking at what I needed to complete the project in time. There was yarn everywhere. Thankfully your mystery hand dyed fingering was one of the first to jump out at me.

[@LoriParsons]

Gary…your shawl is absolutely amazing!! I love it!

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you so much Lori!

[@frozenstone1787]

[@moonbowartshandknits]

That rainbow shawl is so dreamy, Gary! 😱😍😍😍💜💚🧡🙌 I tried the Find Your Fade and pooped out after 1/3 of the pattern was done 😂 Kudos to you for finishing such a wonderful piece of art. ❤

[@theastewart6721]

Hi Gary. Your MAL shawl is stunning as is your Bag O Day Shawl. I think the teal will really pop but you’ll know best once you try the colors out. Love the squares too. The Style Craft yarn color is gorgeous too. Thanks for sharing.🤗

[@AeroLuvrr]

Beautiful shawl!! ❤💚 love your color and yarn choices.

[@barbaramarch6880]

Beautiful shawl! The drape!

Hello Lynette!

[@bunnygaffney2765]

Hey Gary.. yes almost 20.000 I was with you the last 3yrs 😮 hard to believe. I've watched a lot of your older videos ❤

[@urbanyarn]

Hi Bunny - it's so true about the time has gone by so quickly. Thank you for all your support!

[@joshey46032]

Such dreamy work on that shawl! And such a great song you picked as inspiration!

[@urbanyarn]

Thanks Joshey!

[@gingerfoxx1476]

The color fade in that pastel rainbow, coupled with the bold variegated stripes from the hand dyed yarns is stunning. What a gorgeous shawl. I hope to participate in a future mood board MAL.

[@urbanyarn]

Absolutely would love for you to join in on a future Mood Board MAL!

[@tonikuhn9709]

Beautiful shawl.

[@barbaramarch6880]

Love your BOD shawl colors!

[@grammydraskinis9288]

Beautiful

[@emesev5381]

❤ This shawl is so sweet, true candy shop colours 🍬🍭 and the pattern is so exciting ❤. I will be able to send you my 2024 Spring Edition project only at the last minute, apologies for that. I had to frog it back 😅. But the 2nd attempt is almost ready 😊 Take care

[@urbanyarn]

Hello Emese! Thank you for getting your entry in and supporting the MAL. It was so exciting to see it in the slide show. I'm so sorry that it needed to be frogged back.

[@star_athena]

That shawl is so beautiful! ❤❤❤

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you so much Star!

[@bluerosecrystalsoul]

Hi Gary!🤗💚🩵 … regarding your question with the colors you’re using with Crystal’s Shawl Along - I love the olive color, because I think that instead of a flower, maybe it would look more like a lovely succulent 💚🪴 💚

[@urbanyarn]

I love that description. I went the other way - and I'm not entirely convinced I did the right thing.

[@cynthiacornell1718]

Your shawl is fantastic - as usual, I'm thinking of ways to get similar results with crochet! The colors on your BOD shawl-along remind me of Chinese art/sculptures!

[@urbanyarn]

I see what you are referring to with the colour combinations.

[@nelliehedrick3147]

Your BOD shawl along is gorgeous... can't wait to see the finished product....🥰🥰🥰

[@jeannewells6747]

Your work is amazing ❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you so much 😀

[@shaysales3025]

Beautiful work, I love the shawl!

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you! 😊

[@naomicurrier1]

Hi Gary, I absolutely LOVE the Blooming Brioche shawl you made! I was just sitting here ohhh and awwing over how the soft sunset colors were contrasting against the darker chevrons. Just gorgeous! I am going to try really had to make something in 3 days for the deadline, wish me luck! Also I love what you are doing for Crystal's CAL and I think I would say the teal to stand out on the olive background IF it's the inner part and the Dark Olive if it's the leaves. I hope that is helpful. See you around the KZbin streets!

[@urbanyarn]

Hi Naomi - you and I were on the same path with the colours! Thank you for the added confidence you gave me to go that path. Oh, I'm so happy you wanted to try getting in your mood board in time. Keep working on your boards and makes and send them to me when you can. I am going to run one in Summer too - I'd love to create a slide show in July of any boards that didn't make the deadline.

[@zeldanrj3]

GARY!!! That shawl is incredible! Perfect rainbow combinations.. 🌈 Oohhhhh, I'm loving seeing all of the shawl colorways for Crystal's new MAL. I need a week in a hotel, by myself, so I can be creative.. So many "ugly" interruptions here 😢 I love batik swirl dk from the wool warehouse. I see you have 1 in the back 😜 Thank you for giving my birthday yarn life.. I'm loving all the creations with it. Love you friend ❤

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you so much Zee for that wonderful yarn! I hear you loud and clear on the week in a hotel room without interruptions.

[@DanetteSWhite]

Hi Gary. All your makes and creations looks great as always. I've yet to start Crystals shawl.

[@urbanyarn]

Hi Danette - I'd love to see your BOD shawl along creation when you have it done!

[@barbaracabrera207]

Another fantastic video!!! The shawl is gorgeous. Makes me wish I'd leaned how to knit!!! LOL! But the crochet square is beautiful. I think I'd like to make a rectangular shawl with these squares. Onto my TO DO LIST!!! CRYSTAL @ BOD got me addicted to making shawls with her Shawl CAL!! I love to crochet with very thin yarns & threads!!! TFS!! Austin TX USA

[@urbanyarn]

Hi Barbara - thank you for letting me know what you like to work on and what yarn weight.

[@gioiacasterline4835]

The shawl is absolutely gorgeous but I expect nothing less when I know you made it. One day, I'll be lucky enough to buy one from you. Love your work, Gary.

[@urbanyarn]

Awe - thanks so much Gioiacasterline! I am thinking of the day when I'll be posting some things I've made up for purchase. I'd like to clear room for more things... LOL!
