[@DylanJCat]

Thank you so much for showing this case already ordered four of them they are really great. I have so many but this is one of the best ones that I have used. So glad that I watched your vids.

[@cynthiaantone991]

Thank you for working during the pandemic. You are a very special person.

[@janhayertz2242]

Use 2 or 3 strands of the thin yarn.

[@Ryan-Hexx-RN]

I still can’t find the join button here on KZbin lol. Is it active yet? My mom passed away last year, and this is the first Mother’s Day I am spending without her. Going to visit the cemetery tomorrow. Happy Mother’s Day to all moms in the chat ☺️. Thank you Nick, for your videos. Keeping my mind distracted. 💜. For your analytics, I an 47 from Toronto, Canada lol. Montreal is magical. I would love to travel more in the u.s.

[@brendahelmer9956]

I love your granny squares they're beautiful I live in Baird Texas keep up the good work she's doing great

[@MichelleWorn-qf2sh]

Luka is adorable

[@tracybetha9679]

You're awesome! Interesting background and travel

[@garnethuffman9238]

Blossom Crochet's spiked granny throw would look fabulous in rainbow and white!

[@debt8632]

I just found your channel. Whenever I am getting ready for a trip, the biggest decision is always which project to take along. Have a good time!

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Thank you!!

[@susieinthecountry4434]

love the baskets and sharing you Michael's journey♥

[@kathy794]

11/22/63 kept me glued to my recliner for two straight days. House of Leaves sounds fascinating, though I wouldn’t want to tackle it on the beach. And I don’t know Wicked though I’ve seen the Broadway show. So my vote is King. For your young age you’ve seen so much of the world and I am envious. I figure I’ll visit many places in my afterlife. Enjoy your Florida trip!

[@roserenik6375]

Best of luck on your Exams , I know you are going to do well. Enjoy you Vacation in Florida.

[@cynthiaantone991]

What an intriguing book! Say the title again, I was mopping the floors.

[@glynisbaglow2169]

Good luck with your exams + enjoy your holiday❤❤😊❤❤

[@TheUndeclaredNation]

This was a very enjoyable video, especially when spoke about your love of travel and the various cities you spoke about.

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@janecornell4890]

I just purchased yarn for a granny square bomber jacket. Needles at the Readyshowed a nice granny square jacket with knitted sleeves, very pretty! Enjoy Florida as I await my yarn!

[@lynnock8003]

For travel projects using skeins , use heavy duty, largish ziplok type baggies and press the air out to reduce space in packing. Have a lovely holiday.😊

[@katiep9502]

Those baskets would be a good carry on for the airplane, will. Fit in Under the seat

[@Mixedmutt]

I’m in Texas keep Austin weird lol

[@HadriansWallNZ]

Greetings from New Zealand 🇳🇿. From a Scot/Irish/Danish living in north Auckland 😂

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Greetings!

[@kathywelch8722]

I find your channel very interesting. I enjoy your life stories and seeing your yarn and your projects. I really like that rainbow yarn it’s beautiful. Enjoy Florida. 🧶💜🙏🏻

[@rhysmillington]

Great episode. Enjoyed all your chat. Your favourite countries are also mine- NZ 🇳🇿 and Iceland 🇮🇸 They really are amazing countries- the nature is unbelievable.

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Why are so in sync!

[@Pixxelina]

39:45 I lost my mom last March to a long battle with cancer. I’m very sorry for your loss. My mom was my very best friend, we talked every day and texted every day and saw each other every other weekend until we found out about the cancer. She was in my home with hospice care since October. I am dreading Mother’s Day. I’m a mommy myself to a wee toddler and I don’t know what to do with myself on this day. Very sorry for your loss. Sending you hugs from Sunrise, Florida. 😢🧡

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

I’m very sorry to hear this. Mother’s Day is always hard. I always try to ignore it but it’s never easy. My boyfriend is visiting his mom this weekend in the Midwest, and I got outta dodge for a week on the beach in Florida. She’s a great bonusmom but it’s not the same. Sending hugs your way!

[@joannezednik371]

I like the Caron cotton cakes for bags.

[@lorijones1015]

Hi. Enjoy your trip. I have been enjoying listening to books, and I can knit while “reading”, so for me it is a win win.

[@KevinMontreal]

Hi Nick, when I travel, I always try to find a yarn shop to buy a few skeins to make myself something when I get back. It beats a mug or a fridge magnet… travel safe and enjoy Fort Lauderdale ( I love that place).

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Ooh good idea!

[@Kylie4Queen]

I’ve been doing the same thing…buying “souvenir” yarn and unique notions.

[@janicegibbs5769]

I have found using one strand of white with one strand of bright dulls the bright colour. Using a strand of black keeps the colour bright. I live in the Wellington area of the North Island of New Zealand and I totally agree that we have so many shades of green surrounding us. I can also agree that the South Island scenery is phenomenal. The North Island isn't too shabby either. They have their own styles 😂

[@jameythomas207]

I love listening to you talk about your travels. My brother in law is danish so we have learned alot about Danish culture and Aquavit!! Loving the channel. Enjoy Florida

[@kathysmith1353]

Hi Nick I am from San Diego and no I do not tartly and yes I love to order from TEMU I get a lot from them like cat toys and more I like TEMU yarn. So have a good day.

[@ArtJunkie]

Your demographics are exactly the same as mine so I think that is the common demographics for the crochet community. I’m a 58 year old Canadian Crochet and artist retired RN so I enjoy your videos. I’m from Ottawa Canada which is an hour and a half from Montreal. Definitely visit Quebec City and Ottawa. Both gorgeous even nicer than Montreal 😊❤😊 Enjoy your trip 😊😊

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Honestly Ottawa hasn’t really been on my radar but if you say it’s nicer than Montreal, I must come for a visit! I love Canada so much!!

[@neilstephen6761]

Enjoy your stay in Florida. Nifty baskets love the colours. Crochet vintage swimming trunks. The hounds are awesome. Have you read A Little Life by Hannah Yanagihara ? My birthday is in September another Virgo.

[@yayareed517]

Your pup is from Boerne, TX. I live right outside Boerne, I was surprised to hear you mention Boerne because not many people know where Boerne is. I also went to Prague in the early 90's. I brought back some nice Crystal and China dishes. I fell in love with Prague.

[@CalvinRufusd]

hello urban farmboys i just started my granny square swewater to night thank you for the idea i pray that you get all the followers you need on youtube god bless oh i didnt know what to make next when i saw you with your sweater

[@oldmomma56]

Caron Blossom cakes are fun, try something other than grannies!

[@Ryan-Hexx-RN]

Btw, sorry I didn’t mention, it is Nursing week in Canada. Happy Nursing Week Nick and Andrew💜💜. Okay, a guess, arbatas has something to do with herbal medicinal teas??

[@loritedeschi9580]

I love your work and colors you choose! And you are a nurse you are very gifted

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Thank you so much!

[@AlrakWeaver]

The best way to calm down to buy yarn! Good luck on the exam. ❤

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Thank you!

[@juliettealexander8537]

I've read all three of your fiction choices. FYI, Wicked book is different from the musical. Loved the King book. I highly recommend listening to the musical artist POE before finishing House of Leaves, I can't remember but I think she's the author's step sister and there are references to each other, fun, but not necessary. I agree though, House of Leaves is not a vacation book if your brain needs a break. If you like Stephen King you might enjoy Richard Layman (King on crack) and Robert McCammon (if you've not heard of them). Enjoy your break and stay safe!

[@Stahrzzzz125]

Hi Nick, i just wanted to let you know I appreciate you and your videos. Love watching! Thanks for sharing. Best of Luck on your exam!!

[@amybettencourt3404]

I hope your exams finish well. Good luck with what you have left. If you use white along with the Picasso Rainbow, I would advise to make sure it is SUPER bright white, or the white will mute the bright colors. I am doing the same with that dark rainbow Picasso, and I got Caron Simply Soft Party in the white. It is VERY bright white with iridescent sparkle to reflect the colors in the Picasso. BTW, I hope you had a great Nurse's Week! We just finished ours (I work in hospice, in HR), and it was awesome. Especially the chair massages on Wednesday, in which I was able to indulge bc someone didn't show up... Eye-rolling awesome. Have a fabulous trip! 🐞

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Thank you for the Nurses Week recognition! I basically got to take a vacation as my nurses week reward, so I call that a win! I love my hospice folks. When I was palliative director, my partner and I (who was the palliative social worker) were lovingly referred to as the Ho Spices (like the Spice Girls). Ho Spice cracked me up!

[@Pixxelina]

An hour long video?! YESSS PLEASE! ❤❤❤

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

So glad you like it! It’s always tricky to know what video duration people enjoy. I love longer videos but some people hate them. I’m trying to do a variety of 10-20minutes, 30ish minutes, and around an hour long every week so there’s something for everybody!

[@Pixxelina]

@@URBANFARMBOYS I think you have the right balance of video lengths. And fairly, it’s up to you on how much time you can allocate to KZbin. Regardless, I’m always curious and excited when you share a bit of your life with us, whether be 10 min or an hour.

[@bonniebunting6415]

Vacation every year is to the UK. My husband is from Manchester UK. E visit friends and family and then pop over to Paris or London , Wales, Ireland. This year will b Germany.

[@SlickSydney]

For two strands go up a couple sizes like from a 4 to a 6 or 6.5. Last 4 blankets I made that way. My new favorite method. Cheers

[@oldmomma56]

Caron Simply Soft goes with Picasso very well, I hear. For pure entertainment, I suggest you discover Juan the Yarn Addict and Bag O Day to introduce some variety and growth. Be well and enjoy!

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Thanks for the tip! I follow both Juan and Crystal! Love them both!

[@dorcasfields6624]

Thank you for working in health care, especially a hospital setting. I hope you enjoy your vacation. I traveled around the US for a week with my family as a kid. We always went to historical places. I still love history. I haven't traveled nearly as much as an adult. I'm a home body.

[@oldmomma56]

Those cakes make pretty cowels, etc. you can even make it in a granny stitch!

[@cherylcook218]

that was fun interesting the book sounds good 🇦🇺🙌

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

I may or may not have left the book behind to make more room for yarn in my carry-on!!! 😱🤫

[@cherylcook218]

@@URBANFARMBOYS got to have the yarn have a lovey time enjoy the beautiful beach take care of your precious self and relax 🙌🙌🙂🙂🏖🏝🏊‍♂️🏄‍♂️

[@terry_679]

Hi Nick, I pack my yarn in a mailer before putting it in my beach bag. This helps keep it dry and sand free. I was at the beach(here in Florida) and it really helped with the high winds blowing sand. Enjoy your stay here ! 😎🦩🌴

[@CasualKnitter]

Whenever I travel I buy yarn from there 😅😅😅

[@lan7766]

I wish i could afford to travel, wow. I’m in Australia and my partner and I can only afford to travel even interstate just once every 5 years or so, really sounds like a different world to be able to travel to so many places.

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Sometimes the best vacation is a staycation! I really enjoy those too. But yes, I recognize that we are fortunate to be able to travel as much as we do!

[@joycel1746]

Hi Nick. I believe that rainbow yarn is Caron Cotton Cake. I have a couple that look just like that. I can't for your soaps.

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Thanks for watching! Soap videos coming soon and soap available for those who want it shortly after that!

[@mama-wench]

I've bought some yarn from Temu... my favorite is the Fairy Land and I'm currently making a top with the different cakes of it I have. I'll need to get more though before this top will be finished. :)

[@DoHeHa]

Love your travel stories 😊 My favorite place is my little house in Jamaica, but if I don't spend my holiday there I explore my country. My daughters live in Dresden and Berlin and there's plenty to see and do. And I live very close to the Lake of Constance which is a very beautiful area to live and do things. Hope you have a nice holiday, relax and enjoy ❤

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Sounds lovely! Thanks for watching!

[@cynthiaantone991]

I like your Temu yarn. I’ve ordered everything but yarn. Now I’ll have to go look. I like scented soaps. Not the mass produced kind. Your KZbin is quite interesting.

[@barbie62bj]

Love your dogs, what breed are they, absolutely gorgeous. I love dogs, we have a black 110 black Labrador, his name is Duke. Awesome video, good luck with your exam, you will rock it. Enjoy Florida. ❤️👍🇨🇦🙏🏼🧶

[@bonniebunting6415]

I didn’t hear for the Temu yarn. It said 4 ply but it was more of a thin 3

[@maryklenewski7190]

Hi Nick, we can’t join as a member on a tablet. I don’t have a computer, only a tablet so can’t get a membership.so sorry because I love your videos. Alsways a fun time Nick.

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

No problem, thanks for watching!

[@CasualKnitter]

So I'm sending you a postcard from Moldova!!!! Caron cotton is very similar to some yarn i purchased from Joom ( a similar site to Temu) and I knitted pillow cases because it was too thick for a top and still have them to this day ! To be honest Temu adds are all over the place but I made up my mind not to order online anymore, and I made a spring cleaning and noticed I have 145 skeins 😅😅😅

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

That would be amazing! Never been to Moldova!

[@amybettencourt3404]

I'm in Northern California (NOT San Francisco...) and my favorite place out West is the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. The North Coast here is nice, but SO expensive. The reason medical staff in SF make so much is bc they're in what is probably the most expensive city in the Continental US. Ppl in SF typically move to other, previously cheaper places so they can keep more of their income. Even with a 2 or 3 hour commute, they prefer that to living in the Bay area... Anyways, hardly anyone here like SoCal either, even a lit of ppl who live there.

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Yikes! We’re in a similar-ish situation where we live. I work in Manhattan because $$$ but then I’m very happy to escape the madness at the end of the workday to my property on 9 acres in the mountains! My drive is exactly one hour. I don’t mind it. It’s a beautiful drive! And we’d never be able to have a property like ours in the city because it literally doesn’t exist!

[@DM-jy1gr]

Rainbow Yarn is so beautiful it would be a shame to dilute its effect with another yarn. You could just crochet with two balls of the Rainbow Ice Wool together at the same time to make it thicker, instead of adding another colour. However, it would still look pretty if paired with white black or another colour in the rainbow yarn. You can google Rainbow Ice Yarn and it comes up with beautiful projects, with hats, scarves, shawls, blankets, cardigans and tops. The thinner wool gives it a beautiful soft drape, but it does take longer to crochet. 💜

[@mellystorms7759]

Nick, is the yarn store still open at Woodbury Commons?

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

WUT. Yarn store at Woodbury Commons?!?!?! What's it called?!?! I live right by there!

[@mellystorms7759]

@@URBANFARMBOYS I know right. I'll see if I can find it. They had BEAUTIFUL yarn. I grew up in Cornwall not far from you guys. I'm trying to find a WV or MD postcard to send to you lol
