BAG-O-DAY Crochet w/Yarn Geek & Friends! 👜🧶

[@tinaturner5087]

I love watching Crystal, I was diagnosed with alzheimers awhile ago and I gave up on crochet. Then last December I found Crystal's KZbin channel and she teaches so well that I am able to crochet again. I start Crystal's videos as soon as I get up and watch her until I go to bed.

[@kathyp3285]

If Crystal published a book with all of the stitches she knows, I would buy it! I'm sure many others would too. ❤❤❤

[@tonyaregan6473]

Today is the first time that I have ever watched this channel. Since I trust BagODay's opinions I'm broadening my viewership to your channel also. I enjoyed the interview and agree that we yarn lovers are a community.

[@lindasyarnbarn5176]

You’re right, Ginger. Crystal is the kindest, most caring person I’ve ever met. She genuinely cares about the crochet community.

[@shirleyduvall4865]

During Covid you were the calm voice in a storm of unknown I’m greatfull for your calm during that time and the stay safe in every video

[@sandrahodges9596]

My great grandma taught me when i was seven. She was very strict with me, too. You did it right or your hand got slapped by a ruler. But you are right, that was the way they were then. When reading books about centuries past, girls learning to do needlework, the teachers were strict. But you were taught whether you wanted to learn or not. But I wanted to learn and she didn't want to teach me as I was left handed. I finally got her to understand that I used my left hand only to eat or write. I would be crocheting with my right hand. I loved it and that was a very long time ago. I am 65 now. Happy crocheting guys!

[@virginiasomerville5113]

Thank you for featuring BoD. She deserves all the recognition for what she offers and shares with us.

[@lisashurb9163]

I appreciate the idea of everyone being a community not a competition ❤❤ Excellent collaboration 😊

[@carrieridolfi7080]

We all think of Crystal when we hear Freddy Mercury,and Queen!!!

[@marthacerda9650]

You never know. You could possibly live long enough to see your trees full grown. My grandmother will be 105 this Christmas eve. She is very healthy for her age and her brain is as good as ever.

[@theYarnGeek]

Happy early birthday to your grandma Martha! 🎉🎂🎁 She’s such and inspiration!! 💕😊

[@deloreswhite7864]

"I am what I am" is the key to your success. We love you, Crystal.

[@Barb515]

Great interview! Crystal did not think she did well but I think she did very well. Crystal is just a caring person and it came across here as well. Nicely done

[@angelinewilson5851]

Awesome Yarn Geek and Bag-O-Day together thanks for this video. Love how the communities of yarn friends come together. Love it!

[@carrieridolfi7080]

MY FAVORITE 2 people!!!!!!

[@mommaknowsbestakagwen4028]

Hi 👋. I've made dozens of her tutorials. I think the way you were taught helped you to create items. Thanks Mr. Bod for encouraging crystal

[@SusanRBruce6]

I’m rewatching this video, in light of all the drama on the crochet KZbin streets, this truly shows the purity of Crystals heart & intentions. She is such an asset to the yarn community. She is the GOAT❤

[@theYarnGeek]

She is!!! 🥰 We have no room for drama in our yarn rooms!! 💕🌸

[@nailahvenable7989]

I love watching Crystal because she is genuine and has a honest love of Yarn and crochet. Thank you for your videos Crystal.

Crystal is the most unselfish creator on the internet. She continues to create and teach many her craft, then shares it all with us, for free. 11:52 She deserves 1 million followers. Edit: She is also so humble, a great person.

[@bunnygaffney2765]

You are a hero. I learned to knit 9 yrs ago but just learned to crochet 2 yrs ago .and thanks to crystal and the yarn community I've learned something that literally makes me excited about getting up every morning. (I'm 71) My 19 yr old grandsons learned to crochet during covid lock down in college and has blown me away with things they have done . And yes I'm a yarn aholic ❤

[@aussieyarnie9389]

Yarn collector i call it 😂

[@Teqbird]

Crystal - I love that you understand the real struggle of rural living and how its hard to actually get to stores and the struggle of waiting for shipping.

[@lorihobson6528]

I love when Crystal unpacked yarn from Rose.

[@raggedyann4372]

Love Evelyn Rose❤️🥰❤️🥰

[@shirleyduvall4865]

I love to do a vegetable garden every year it it growers and I always get the bad looking plants and they grow beautiful and I always say God does the growing and let’s me play in the dirt beside him

[@susani.-partyonwithyarnandcroc]

Crystal Bag-O-Day is the "real" deal. I enjoyed the interview and thank you for sharing. 😊

[@karenb6791notakaren]

You should consider yourself a lucky gal for getting Crystal to agree to an interview, Ginger! She's like a unicorn and such a private person, even though she almost has a million subs. Loved spending time with both of you lovely ladies😊👍🧶

[@theYarnGeek]

Thank-you, Karen! 🥰 I do feel so lucky and so happy that she talked with me.🌸😊🌸😊🌸

[@josephshaffer1442]

Crystal is my go to person for tutorials. She is an excellent teacher.

[@ShellyKurtz-qq6jx]

Thats why we enjoy watching you, you are you, not fake, you are all very inspiring.

[@janrybnicky5495]

I love that Mama Kitty loves Crystal!

[@Cdees57]

I found Crystal and You Tube 5 yrs ago during recuperation after having a severe neck surgery. So many of my other crafts such as sewing i coukdnt do because it caused so much upper back and neck pain. I began watching Crystals videos then also found other channels too. Ive been an avid fan ever since. Ive known how to crochet for over 60 yrs now but Crystal and Christa at the Secret Yarnery are my go to gals for tutorials. My favorite item ive made of Crystals is the 1st Sesame Street baby blanket she made. Ive made two of them with plans to make a few more. Crystal guves so much to this community and i adore her and her family plus she donates to pet rescue which i love and was active in until my 7 level neck fusion. Love ya both and your quirky personalities. Thanks Ginger this was fun to watch.

[@ShellyKurtz-qq6jx]

Watching you all has really tought me alot of stitches, I swear by it,I have several I follow.when I get an alert I get excited 😊 I can't forget to mention Mikey and juan, creative grandma and Cody, Tiffany,Allison Russell,nati crochet blossom crochet etc . And I'm sure there are more .I learn more on utube than anywhere, hands on is my way to learn I also want to thank you for saving me with my hubby, I show him your yarn walls, and he says my hoarding isnt so bad ... Lol. Love you all sooo much!!!!!

[@MissJenaCrochets]

I just adore bashful Crystal ❤ As someone who has a hard time taking compliments and has difficulty responding to kind things people say when I'm put on the spot, I can very much appreciate the way she reacts and responds in moments like those. The conversation between both of your kind souls is a joy to watch ❤❤❤

[@rosemariemerritt5035]

Crystal is truly a great teacher! She teaches in a way that help a beginner crocheter to do stitches and patterns that they never thought that they could. She is always encouraging and patient! I always recommend her channel whenever I hear someone say that they want to learn to crochet. Crystal is an absolute legend!

[@lisaaschermann5237]

WoW Crystal!!!! Stepping out of your comfort zone with this interview! So brave and you did such a wonderful job

[@gregoryvozar6236]

Thank you Ginger & Crystal for the interview. You both made a lot of people happy by doing this!

[@theYarnGeek]

Thank you, Gregory! 💕🌸😊

[@joanneannese3433]

I found Crystal when I lost my job and I had just moved far from my family and people I knew. So she became my Friend and keeps me company and I've made hundreds of her projects. Just love her🤩☺️☺️☺️☺️

[@gloriaj.bowmanmzgloscroche3060]

I love Crystal. She's a very passionate person and I love her personality. She's such an inspiration to me, even when I wanted to give up and her tutorials are so easy. I love my yarny 🧶 community. I can't wait to crochet 🧶 full-time permanently. Thanks for all you do Crystal ❤

[@melissabeatty4062]

She is so proud of you Crystal and her opportunity to pass on her knowledge to another generation.

[@holly-hawk]

Personally, I love love love hearing the kids and animals in the background of Crystals videos. Family sounds!

[@theYarnGeek]

Me too!! 🥰👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🐶🐕

[@ChristinesCraftTable]

Great interview! Thank you both for sharing! And there was an awesome lack of commercial breaks, an extra bonus. LOL. I love that from the start Mr. Bod was Crystal's biggest cheerleader. I was amazed that the design video was Crystal's most difficult. She came across so calm and totally understandable. Like the duck seemingly swimming serenely across the pond but under the water those feet are paddling furiously. Learning Crystal's love for plants, I'm so glad and thankful she chose a crochet channel rather than a gardening one! Lastly, regarding your funny yarn story, it cracks me up too when a KZbinr says they need to find yarn for a project or giveaway...and they are sitting in front of a wall or walls of yarn. I guess you really do start seeing it as decor rather than inventory. 😊 Oh, and I thought the fish story was great. Need to find that book.

[@theresaesnault3307]

Thank you so much for having Crystal on!!! I just fell more in love with her. I do watch her tutorials and videos and have learned so much from her. She truly is amazing. I have the utmost respect for her as well. She has such strong integrity, work ethic, she is so real and so down to earth!! She is also so adorable and funny!!!. I consider her a "Crochet Master Genius". I could go on and on. I would just love to also hang out with her and her family , her pets or plant trees with her. (Trees and White Roses are my favorites too). Her videos do make you feel like you are hanging out with her. Again thank you both for your time. Blessings, much love and light!

[@vickythoeni3818]

Great interview with Crystal Ginger you were fantastic 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@theYarnGeek]

Thanks so much, Vicky! 🥰🌻

[@valferguson8322]

Love Crystal! Watch her constantly!! She’s a great teacher, even for experienced crocheters!!! Very giving person…

[@theYarnGeek]

I 1000% agree! 🥰🥰🥰

[@aidasoto8443]

Crystal is just coolest ! Love her ! I never thought I could ever crochet. But Crystal taught me !! ❤❤❤❤

[@Suzieq987]

Crystal is an awesome teacher of crochet! She is brilliant, caring, kind and compassionate. I love her channels!

[@andrealouis-visser4973]

So happy to see collaboration in the yarn/crochet community! Way to go Yarn Geek (Ginger) and Bag O Day (Crystal)! I’m definitely a yarnoholic with a wall of yarn!

[@theYarnGeek]

Yay! Thank you so much!! 🌸💕🌸 We Yarnies must stick together! 😊

[@Stephanie-2real4me]

You are humble, Chrystal. Xxxx❤

[@iloveloopycrochetandtreasu1994]

I absolutely love Crystal to bits , she has helped me more then she will ever know. I've been with her since she started her channel. I enjoyed this interview. Thank you so much. God bless you both ❤🤗

[@karendewillers5190]

I managed to teach my daughter to crochet while she refused to talk to me and she was in the hospital for anorexia. And on Wednesday, I got to teach a South African immigrant. It was a super exciting feeling. Thank you for encouraging me to reach out and teach othersm

[@ayootaylo]

Best wishes to your daughter. That’s one hell of a thing to fight.

[@theYarnGeek]

Amen to that. 🌸 Keep fighting for her, Mom.💕💕💕

[@denisehudson4723]

That's for the interview Ginger and thanks for agreeing to it Crystal.

[@thryssinstitches9655]

Andrew said he doesn't blame you. I always have to be collecting something. He's grateful it's yarn and not designer things lol. You saved him money

[@theYarnGeek]

Right? Lol… Casey doesn’t blame Crystal either! 😄

[@CoolCraftyCreations]

❤❤ Great interview Ginger, and great questions, although Crystal has always been an open book with her subbies.Crystal is so humble and kind. ❤❤😊

[@broella6493]

Great interview Ginger! So awesome to see you and Crystal together! Both of you are my most inspirational crocheters on KZbin! Loved this video!

[@GrandmaLM]

I do not have a yarn collection/wall. I learned the hard way when I quilted. When I stopped quilting I had all this beautiful fabric, thousands of dollars worth, that I ended up giving away. I have a couple of drawers with yarn but now am learning from Crystal about specialty yarns.

[@jaydenlee5477]

She seems very very nervous. What a great listener. 👍

[@wendyschmidt4339]

Hello ladies❤ Have to share this. I usually catch up on BOD videos afternoon time when m chores are done. About the time honey walks thru the door he says hello Crystal, Hi honey how was your day ?

[@bonnieperkins1419]

Love it. See my cat comment.

[@genevastokes7564]

CRYSTAL IS AMAZING ❤

[@mamamia4745]

Crystal! Your design process is brilliant! I've been doing this since 1968 & you help me, and so many others, design projects that are practical & beautiful! Thank you❣️

[@terwr]

Love Crystal. Watching her videos for several years. Cried when I watched her dog rescue presentation check to their local rescue which she raised from selling blankets.

[@carolynwatts2942]

Love Crystal ""bagoday ". She is so inspiring and love the family. All the kids are fun to watch . Mr. Bagoday is fun to watch and listen too also. They are an inspiring couple. Also I love your show also. You are fun to watch and I wished I could crochet as well as you do. Such beautiful items you make. God bless you and Crystal and pray you reach your goals.❤

[@TinaLanoue]

Thanks for doing that Ginger. YES Crystal is Amazing. I've only been following her for a few months now and have completed SOOOOO many of her EASY tutorials, with many more on the to do list. I never thought I could crochet anything other than a granny square LOL, all due to Crystals amazing motivation! I am so honored to be a part of this community and Thanks for showcasing Crystal and all of her hard work. Due to her I have now found you.

[@Raineyluwho]

I hope Crystal knows that she has helped me hold on when my chronic diseases get out of hand. Im old enough to be her Mother (and your grandmother). I absolutely love her. Thanks from one Geek to another. 💜

[@theYarnGeek]

She has helped so many of us, me included.🥰😊 Just watching her has helped me through some tough times, so I know exactly what you mean! Btw… I’m getting up there too - I turned 53 this year, so I’m only two years away from getting all of the Sr discounts! 😂😭🤪

[@anjamkiyani2702]

Crystal you are the best teacher.

[@lyndamorstain4761]

Great interview ladies! And Thank You, Eric, for encouraging Crystal! What a blessing to all of us!

[@theYarnGeek]

Thank you so much, Alicia! The yarn community is the best community - so much love and support. I’m grateful every single day that I found all of you!! 😊💕🌸

[@thryssinstitches9655]

She is for sure proud of you!

[@mamamia4745]

Y'all are great! We do need to keep crochet alive. It's Practical & therapeutic, calming & creative, exceptionally satisfying. Something we can even do when sleep eludes & doesn't disturb those who can sleep. (This being 5 am)

[@meganberryman9448]

Crochet and Knitting is therapy for me, and I love watching people that love it as much as I do!!!

[@janiceguy8752]

Your mom was right! She is the best! I just told my hair stylist who says all she can do is the chain…boy do I have the girl for you! Sent her the info! She is so stoked!

[@cathymickelson2727]

Enjoyed watching! I started watching BOD during covid isolation... every night before I slept. It calmed me during a very lonely and frightening time. Plus, like Crystal, I just love yarn!

[@kaye-q1k]

Crystal we your crochet friends were so honoured when you allowed us to send you ornaments for your Christmas Trees. I was so thrilled when I saw the ones I sent you on your trees.

[@kimreed2774]

I watch Crystal because she is a great teacher. Her yarn reviews make me want to buy those yarns. She is genuine,down to earth and silly. I totally relate to her. I Love how she gets excited about yarn. Thank you Ginger and Crystal. I watch both of your videos the most❤

[@alohacrochetbynaomi156]

[@theYarnGeek]

Thanks, Maribel! Talking to Crystal so much fun and I do hope to get to talk to her again some day! 🥰

[@kolthoffkrafts]

I fall asleep to your videos every night Crystal 💖

[@Azure_Jewel]

She is definitely a 💫 star! Thank you both

[@GrandmaLM]

I learned from my grandma 70 years ago and I have her hooks. She only used the doily cotton yarn and copied doilies that others made. Never used a pattern. In her later years she chained chains to hold medals for the missions. She made thousands.

[@justinerobbins1081]

That was awesome!!! She's SO humble 🧡 great job Ginger !!!!

[@CherylThomas-l1j]

I just found this video. Thank you so much. I have crocheted for years and I saw your video about three years ago and it felt like I was seeing a best friend Bag O Day, a month ago I saw you Yarn Geek. I know this video is a year old it is a wonderful piece of work with plenty of information on the two of you. Thank you thank you thank you💜💜💜💜💜

[@craftygranny1979]

Crystal is awesome. Met her in person a few years ago. She is a awesome teacher. She sat down with me at a retreat to show me how to do post stitches. Awesome lady!

[@ShellyKurtz-qq6jx]

I do have to say crocheting is awesome therapy, i preach it, it saves my mind alot,

Awesome interview and I think you both are awesome ladies to follow. Love BOD and how she teaches the how to’s of making so many beautiful and wonderful crocheted items. Love watching the live tutorials and the box openings too. So fantastic to be apart of such inspiring people. Thank you Ginger for doing these amazing interviews with the amazing people making the journey so amazing for crocheting together on KZbin. ❤🧶👍🏼🤠

[@edcarr8692]

Hi Ginger, Hello Crystal.

[@YARNBARF]

Crystal, I hate to break the bad news to you, but you ARE a "Yarn Enabler"!! It was your room with yarn on every wall that told me, "It's OK to LOVE YARN"!! It's OK to have more yarn on hand to do just one project!! I used to believe that I could or should only buy what I needed at the time. Now, I gleefully jump onto a yarn sale, and looking and smelling my yarn rooms, brings me much comfort. I started my KZbin channel when I was still trucking, I was "NJKatwoman" at the time. But getting off the road and the life of an over the road trucker, finally afforded me the time to try to branch out into my passion of crochet and share my yarn addiction with like minded yarny peeps. I wanted to do this back in the late 90's, but the lighting in the bunk of a truck was not very conducive to filming a good tutorial. I have made many of your patterns, Crystal. You are my "go to girl" when I need a specific project or just some inspiration. I have been a long time follower and fan, and I thank you so much for all of the hard work you do to bring us fantastic content!! Thank you, Ginger!! I really enjoyed your interview with Crystal!! Great job! ❤❤❤

[@paulaperalta1698]

Wow this was so surprising. You made me smile so big. I love watching bagoday. This was nice bringing both people I watch come together. Thank you both.

[@cynthiawaldorf9353]

What fun video! Loved listening to you both❤ Ginger and Crystal

[@lindasyarnbarn5176]

Different KZbinrs bring something different to the table for each of us. I like watching a lot of different channels because each one brings something different to me that I’m wanting at that time.
