Hi Russ, Congratulations on 3K subscribers!🎉 you deserve the honors. Great crocheting session with you. Always enjoy your company when I crochet. Glad you’re no longer associated with the yarn angel organization. Only a scammer would do what they were doing. You’re better off without them. Looking forward to our next session.🥰

Congratulations on the 2K milestone, my Friend. You've put in the work and it continues to show. 👍👍 I am glad that you shared that scam with us when you joined it. As someone who's made quilts for charity, I smelled the "rat" immediately when you said that the angels would have to supply SIXTY or more balls to ONE recipient. It is sad that there are people out there preying on the generosity of others. Thank you for sharing. ❤

I believe you asked about Boggy blankets on a previous video. The person who started it is She’s got yarn 2, her name is Nancy and she puts the requirements in her descriptions. I’m not there yet with making blankets, but when I get there I’m sure I’ll start with her. Thanks was for your videos Russ, I really enjoy listening to you while I work on my projects. Congrats on your 2k subscribers. Jo up the great work. Love your blanket 🥰

Congratulations on your 2k. You know I am there for you. I feel so bad for you about the Angel situation. You are doing what God put in your heart. I guess you know now that you have to be careful about giving your yarn away, which is so sad. Don't worry it will come back to you in a good way.❤

[@luanneriffle616]

Love all the cat activity. How many Mines do you think are in your blanket that is beautiful. That group yarn angels sounds like a scam. I volunteer at Newborns in Need and people donate yarn and fabrics and baby items. Finding a charter New Borns in your area and donating non wool yarn to them is a place that would highly appreciate your help and donations. A great place to meet people and volunteer to help needy newborns. I totally enjoy volunteering there.

[@itsrainingyarn]

almost 160 minis. I'm sure I'll have to use more to finish it

[@berniceotoole9278]

Hi Russ, Too bad you didn’t think of the stocking before you mentioned the box. It would have been maybe cheaper with the stocking and you could’ve had more stockings than the box. It would give fixed income people a chance to buy one. You could bring it down to 10 days count down to July 25

[@itsrainingyarn]

I still have time 🥰

[@samanthaknudson3084]

Rudy just makes himself to home, and that is adorable! We don' get to see Sweet Pea very often. She is so pretty! NO apologizes needed. 🥰 2000! Congratulations! That's a great accomplishment. That just goes to show you how people care about you and the style of channel you give us. 🥰 You and Kevin and your families are such wonderful people to give your time in life to serve in our military! That is much appreciated! That administrator showed her colors when you were trying to deal with her earlier. You're right to get her banned! Yarn Angels was suffering under her "leadership"! A crocodile stitch for a queen blanket?!!!!! That would take a fortune's worth of yarn. Talk about a yarn eater! The idea of the candy bars is such a unique and thought-out and nice gesture! Typical Russ. 🥰 We love you back.

It’s something how our fur babies always wants to lay on our projects isn’t it? Congratulations on reaching 2000 subscribers. A scam like that makes it hard for the people who really needs the yarn and real would put it to great use to get yarn. I’m glad you figured it out before you lost too much yarn.
