Thanks GalwayCreations - I'm thinking they may be overwhelmed with so many other gifts the bears may take a back seat.

[@urbanyarn]

Those bears are addictive to make!

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

So good to see the cabled hoodie complete. It turned out very nice. I can relate to having a project in timeout. I just recently completed a knitted blanket that due to timeouts took about 16 months. For kicks and grins I calculated how many stitches were in it and was amazed to get 88,600. 😲

[@urbanyarn]

Wow - that's a lot of stitching that went into the blanket.

[@Solitairemoon9]

Those bears are adorable! And the hooded vest is amazing and beautiful. I enjoy your seeing your work!

[@urbanyarn]

I am happy you enjoyed this week's video.

[@DovieRuthAuthor]

Gary, your hooded vest for Chad is great. I loved the intricate cable designs.

[@urbanyarn]

Thanks for the nice comment!

[@kareninman220]

Hi Gary! That vest you made for Chad is absolutely gorgeous! You did a fabulous job on it! The shawl you are working on is so beautiful too!

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you so kindly Karen!

[@cheryl-lylbaldr4560]

Everything is lovely love the mittens so cozy. Love the sweater vest and Chad looks wonderful in it.

[@urbanyarn]

You are so kind to say that about the sweater vest - I am so happy with how it turned out.

[@beverlyfowler1628]

I enjoy seeing your finished projects. They are beautiful!

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@joannezednik2445]

I love the bears. Nice ❤

[@harpgirl-dd7yn]

Gary, you are a fabulous fiber artist!!!

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you so kindly!

[@amyclemons6228]

Hi Gary, Chad's hooded vest is Amazing! What a great gift. And the stuffed bears....Love them! The girls are sure to enjoy them. Thanks for sharing 🙂 I was in Montreal earlier this month and thought of you - even though I know it's not close to where you live. But we enjoyed our time in Canada.

[@urbanyarn]

Thanks for visiting Canada. I've stopped in Montreal once very quickly and really liked my stay there.

[@donnawoepke8861]

Hello Gary. Wow your cable hoody is stunning. Such cute bears. Man you are whipping out those makes. You and Chad have a wonderful upcoming holiday.

[@urbanyarn]

I sometimes feel I go so slow with each project. Lucky I'm a constant stitcher.

[@berthalutters1615]

The bears are so cute!

[@KristinF3246]

You do such beautiful work Gary! ❤️🧶

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you so kindly Kristin!

[@carolharry6936]

Beautiful shawl ❤. I just love the hooded vest. The color yarn you used is gorgeous 😊. The bears are so cute too. Thanks for sharing ⭐.

[@alicehoyle4198]

Wow, that vest/hoodie you made is amazing. You did a fantastic job

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you kindly!

[@sharon742p]

Cute bears!

[@TeresaRaab-hb5co]

I'm here because of the bears, so cute!

[@urbanyarn]

I do think these two cute bears made the best thumbnail!

[@andrealouis-visser4973]

Happy thanksgiving to you and Chad. The Fields of Clover shawl is stunning! I am fascinated with the stitches. Your knitted cowl (nested/brioche) is lovely too. Chad’s hooded sweater is a masterpiece! Love the color too! Herr Wolle is pronunced “Hair Vol-leh”. In German the “w’s are “v’s”.

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you so much for the kind words. I agree with you about the Fields of Clover, I love the look of the stitch and the way the yarn changes colours.

[@KYERRN]

Your videos are among my favorites!

[@urbanyarn]

Thanks for the encouragement!

[@Raineyluwho]

Hi Gary, i guess I'm first! I love the cowl and shawl! Thank you for sharing with us. Happy American Thanksgiving! 🦃

[@urbanyarn]

Hello there! I'm glad you were the first - Yay!

[@vickicoleman2474]

Beautiful makes, all! Your work is always so exceptional. Chad’s vest is so beautiful. Pretty sure I’ll be ordering Hank’s styling-love that shawl. I’m racing to finish the Winter MAL-it could go either way🙃🤪

[@urbanyarn]

Hello Vicki. Thank you for your kind message.

[@gracejohnston2692]

Gary that hoodie vest is luscious!

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you so kindly!

[@MJay77-u9z]

Hello Gary. Beautiful knitting! ❤

[@urbanyarn]

Thanks so much!

[@karenmiller0417]

I love your mosaic vine shawl. I guess if you are only going to make it once, you are at least getting an amazing piece for your efforts!

[@urbanyarn]

Hi Karen - It's only when I'm in the thick of it that I find the process fiddly. Now it's all done I can just enjoy the end results. (You're right though - It will be many years before doing an all-over mosaic pattern like this again).

[@MJay77-u9z]

Gorgeous crochet bears!!

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you so much!

[@JOanneAnnese]

Hi Gary 😊 great work!!!❤

[@urbanyarn]

Hello 😊 - great to see you here!

[@gracejohnston2692]

Id love to make a bear out of a denim fabric color. The Jeans yarn. I think it would be neat!

[@urbanyarn]

I love the idea of denim for a crochet bear!

[@CarolMoore-yv6ec]

I love your makes. Gary chads hoody vest is fantastic ive done cable knitting but not good at it too complicated cabling cute bears for the nieces

[@urbanyarn]

Thank you CarolMoore for your kind words.

[@stacyhortner8105]

Hi Gary! I heard about the bomb cyclone and was thinking of you, Chad, and Pixel ❤. Those mitts look great and I'm looking forward to trying the gusset.

[@urbanyarn]

Hi Stacy - we're all doing fine. Thanks for thinking of us! Let me know how you get on if you try out the mitten pattern!

[@valeriehowden471]

Happy belated Chad! Great hooded vest gift. WYS yarn is wonderful ... haven't used that one, yet. So curious about the thumb gusset pattern. Half way thru some fingerless mittens in which I hybridized a mitten pattern for the colourwork motif with a fingerless mitts for the gusset. So many headaches. Your village festival looked like alot of fun. Take care til next time.

[@urbanyarn]

Hello Valerie. I hope your mitten have worked out. It's very ingenious that you combined two patterns in the pair of mittens.

[@beverlyfowler1628]

Hello, Gary!

[@urbanyarn]

Hello!

[@EmmePhillips-HookinEmme]

Wow, you are so talented!

[@urbanyarn]

Sending cyber hugs!

[@calmaraz]

Gary as always u deliver!! All your projects are stunning….would love to know what yarn/weight u used on the shawl Hank is wearing…your nieces will love their bears ….I loved the mittens that Emilio made ….btw…I enjoy bad sisters as well 😂😂

[@urbanyarn]

Hi Calmaraz - thank you for the kind compliment on the works. The Fields of Clover Hank is wearing was made out of fingering weight yarns.

[@MadMimisCrochetandFarming]

Love all of your makes. How is Chad coming along with crochet and/or knitting? Did he give up?

[@urbanyarn]

Hello Laura - Chad did learn to knit years ago. He's given up. The other day he did look across at what I was working on and wished he had kept it up. I think there may be a second round if he shows more interest.

[@laura782lei]

I did a mosaic blanket. Never again!

[@urbanyarn]

I know what you mean Laura with the Mosaic stitch work. It did leave me a little cross-eyed.

[@DianEnglish56]

Hi Gary, your hooded vest is absolutely Gorgeous! Your creations are always so Beautiful! The bears are adorable! 🧶🫂
