[@MeemeeMao]

My favourite part of your podcast aside of your WIPs FOs is always when you brings us to visit Kenya❤️

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh thank you Nil!! :D xx!

[@Kynlay08]

Love the blankets and the shawl. My daughter loved the video at the end, thank you for taking us with you. So cool to see the different animals there. :)

[@anniesexton57]

Love hearing your birds and pups. Love all the crochet information you give and the tips and trips in Kenya 🎉

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh I am so glad, @anniesexton57! Thank you!! 🌸🌼🌺

[@pamelaandrade6930]

LOVE THE SHAWL AND THE VEST, YOU ALWAYS CHOOSE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COLOURWAYS.

[@craftyfloridian9521]

First want to say how much I enjoyed your Episode 26 and I adore you. Love the shawl and especially the animal walk. Very interesting and entertaining.

[@jenniferdweik5962]

Hi Christa! I'm new here. My name is Jennifer dweik. I'm American living in Amman Jordan with my husband, 4 boys and our cat chanel who is about to have kittens. I love love love your shawl. I just finished secret paths in April. Made mine super big like yours. I just kept going. I love it and afore the pattern. I have had so many requests from friends/family to make them one as well. Love your podcasts and your infectious positive energy. ❤️❤️❤️

[@efernette]

Thank you from Texas, my name is Lisa. Your videos are very detailed. Have to go to doctor’s off so I’ll have to watch your podcast later this morning.

[@kerstinrolf3944]

Hi Christa, what a beautiful video from the national park 👍🏻😘 it’s so wonderful. Thank you so much.

[@MystearicaClaws]

Oh wow, that shawl is really cool! I like the length. Here in Michigan, cool/cold is most common, except in the summer months. I guess I should introduce myself. I have been hiding in the shadows of your channel for a couple weeks, trying to get a feel for it. I am a mother of two, struggling through life, with only the comforts of creation. youtube actually suggested your videos to me because of my following Holly on her Proper Pineapple page

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi Sabrina!! So nice to meet you! Thank you for taking the time to share! My first C2C borders were atrocious!!! Absolutely ghastly. But knowing how to start it out smoothly makes all the difference. :) xx

[@sandraschwientek4962]

I have been watching a few weeks now and commented a few times, but not if ive introduced myself.im Sandra ans i live in Tasmania the small island at the bottom of Australia.i taught myself to crochet atabout 8 years old at Brownies.i became disabled a few years ago and im very restricted, so crochet has become my life oh and you tube.lol. ive taught my middle daughter to crochet and she is a whizz amd teached herself all sorts plus is a leftie.we both have a shameful secret,we are yarn hoarders and are mad on sparkly yarn at present.i have 2 grandbaby girls, and the youngest only 8months will be made to crochet,lol. I talk a lot too. Sandra Schwientek.

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi Sandra! Thank you SO much for introducing yourself! I love me a good sparkly yarn too! So does Kavita, actually! Loud and Proud! :D xx!!

[@errolkobus1304]

Hi there. I love the animal orphanage. Thank you for the tour. I love animals , wild and domesticated. I have 3 mini dachies and a cockatiel. I live out of town (Pietermaritzburg Kwa Zulu Natal South Africa) on a an estate with a dam and love the birdlife around us. I really enjoyed your pod today. Fond Regards Ann Kobus.

[@SecretYarnery]

HI Ann! Your estate sounds divine! I can picture it all in my head - beautiful! I would love to live somewhere like that. :) xx!!

[@TheProperPineapple]

I did my own version of the secret paths shawl too, I used Lion Brand Mandala yarn so mine was a lot smaller. I love how yours turned out, great colors!!!

[@SecretYarnery]

The Proper Pineapple Thanks Holly!! I'm too much of a yarn hoarder to do that many front post back post crochet. 😁

[@brendacraig9043]

[@runawayneedlered7518]

Love the shawl & its stunning yarn. I haven't caught the shawl bug but this one it on the top of list, once I get bitten. Totally enjoyed your zoo clips! I am Mare, I live in NJ but I am from NY. I do lots of handcrafts and needlework. Been hand crafting since I was a child but like you knitting has never been my thing. I have knit some items but I adore crocheting. It is my stress buster. Right now I am working some baby thing for upcoming baby showers.

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi Mare! So nice to meet you!! ...there was a hairdressing show from NY ages ago... used to LOVE watching it! All the stray tan and nails and hair. DARN! Can't remember the name. Hilarious! Such a hoot. So glad you found us and are enjoying the ramblings! That's awesome! Big hugs! xx!

[@heatherjones7420]

Wow that's beautiful shawe. I love your podcasts so much ive started watching from the beginning so I can get the tutorials for the so many items that you have done. I love how you give insight into living in Kenya and how beautiful the country is. You always make me smile and brighten my day. Carry on with your amazing work in all that you do. Your are an amazing human being and an inspiration 💗💗🥰😍🤗

The star stitch intimates me. Reading the patterns can be difficult for me.

[@sujithapabolu4663]

Wow your crochet projects and Kenya birds are wonderful. And you just spelled my name almost correct. Thank you.

[@guylaboswell1093]

Love the shawl very cute. I want to make one. And the Afghans are so cute what a great idea with the black and the color. I think the colors are beautiful. Love your channel.

[@SecretYarnery]

Thank you so much, Guyla!! xx!!

[@EvieO1950]

Love the color you have on and in your shawl! Your favorite colors are my favorites too. I would like to learn the cable stitch, very intimidated by it. Loved the animal orphanage. ❤️❤️

[@heidicook2211]

Hi Christa, My name is Heidi I love in a Florida. I Knit, crochet, Afghan stitch, sew and quilt. Love the cardigan!

[@karenhickey3377]

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi Lucy! Thank you so much! Yes - I MUST do a tutorial on the vest! It's a good one. xx!!

[@janellecruz5417]

I'm just getting a chance to watch this podcast! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! 💖💖 I get so tickled with you and your faces 😍! You are so original and LOVE YOU! I don't like doing the front post or back post stitches-ugh! By the way, I posted my completed WIP on your Facebook Page! My grandson's Autism Awareness blanket. OMG Monkey gymnastics! 😂😂😂😂

[@SecretYarnery]

RiiiiiiIIIIIIIIGHT??? Those darn MONKEYS!! Shocking. And a little scarring, truth be told. ha ha ha! Oh my GOSH - The AUTISM BLANKET! That was sheer GENIUS. Loved it. Saw it on my phone, and try not to comment because it shows up as my person profile - not the yarnery. But that was IMPRESSIVE! SO well done. xx!!

[@60x2andgood]

Ok the one with the oranges ,I love !!!

[@craftangel7452]

Hi Christa, the blankets look like they're coming along nicely. Loving the shawl, especially the colour way you used. To answer your question, I have trouble with broom stick lace crochet, as I have trouble keeping the stitches even. Congratulations on your anniversary in a few days. 💜🌹😊.

[@marywanamaker2700]

Hi Christa... it’s Mary from New York again.lol...happy anniversary, love the colors of the shawl.I can’t wait for the May cal, I have never done a cal before and I’m not starting anything new so I can leave my time for the May cal.

[@leilamenendez7002]

Hi Christa, my name is Leila(Layla) and live in North Carolina, Love your videos and tutorials. What a nice treat of going to the animal orphanage with your family! Like your way of putting it nicely, "monkey gimnastics" . My fear in crochet it is cable stitches, I'm dying to make a sweater with them, I'm afraid to even start. Don't know knitting. I love crochet.

[@jennerationcreations5982]

New viewer from Kentucky! Loving your podcast so far! I look forward to looking at the past ones to learn more about your time In Kenya! Thanks for sharing

[@SecretYarnery]

[@aletasneed3832]

Chrisat You Are Wonderful Love your Pod Cast...You Are just wonderful Hugs Aleta sneed

[@kimwheeler8414]

Happy anniversary to you and your husband on Friday I hope you have a wonderful day. I have a nightmare with the chevron and the Catherine wheel no matter how hard I try I can't get them to turn out, oh and the Solomons knot. finally finished my boho cardi, it is hugh hehe I only did 39 rows I'm a little thicker than you so I figured a couple more rows would be a good idea.....I love it it'll keep me nice and warm in the winter, I guess I was afraid it was going to be to small. But I got it done and I'm finishing up my hexi cardis for my 2 grandaughters I'll post pics on the FB group when I'm all done love ya big big hugs until Friday xxx!

[@dianaallen7711]

I just love your podcasts my name is Diana from Pennsylvania. Love to hear about Kenya

[@annasullivan4946]

Hi Christa, I would love to learn the popcorn stitch in the shawl you modeled on this podcast. My BFF was married later in life after age 40 and is celebrating her 15th Wed. Anniv. on May 3rd with a party on May 5th. What are you and hubby and family doing to mark your special day? See you on Friday!! :) Best Wishes to you & hubby from Wisconsin...Anna xoxo

[@CanadianCrocheter]

[@ngarlamyers3161]

Hi from Australia Happy Anniversary to you and your hubby. Love you and your podcasts. Cant wait for C2C Cal, its a stitch style im dying to learn . Keep up your awesome work.

[@beckyp9633]

I recovered enough to use my arm again enough to start doing things again yea! I know you're focusing on normal fun things to do in Kenya but i'd LOVE to get a glimpse at one of your fabric stores- I forgot where in Africa right now, but I saw some of the men are crazy good at weaving too. I sew more in warm weather because I can bend and move easier when its not bitterly cold outside lol. Happy Anniversary to you two! Love as always! Becky

[@siatoria]

Hi Christa .. I have just discovered your channel and have spent the last few hours watching some of your very interesting podcasts. I live in Australia and have been crocheting for longer than I care to mention. I'm a bit of a yarn-a-holic and lots of my time is spent making things for charity. I have a blog called 'Hooks n Grannies' although I have been a bit slack lately with my posts - keep promising myself to post more often. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to seeing more of your videos. Oh, by the way, I also enjoyed the trip to your animal park. xox

[@SecretYarnery]

So happy to hear, Dorothy! Thank you! Will definitely check out your blog. Thank you so much for sharing! xx!

[@kerrynwright]

Hi Dorothy! Nice to see a fellow Aussie here! I just found this site about 10 days ago & binge watching! I'll check out your site next. Blessings from South Australia. Kerryn

[@PopleBackyardFarm]

love your videos the animals are amazing.

[@SecretYarnery]

Thank you! xx!

[@heatherprendergast2288]

I’m loving your podcasts. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@molly1939]

Loving your podcast! Your vibe is so lovely and so calm!

[@margaretmcneil7182]

I’d like to learn about front and back post crochet, also the Celtic knot stitch and how to use different stitches in crocheting a piece.

[@connieholden5786]

I absolutely love your shawl!! The colors are fabulous!! Happy Anniversary early 💑 I also love the world-wide connection with your channel. Isn't it just amazing that you can reach so many people? Enjoyed seeing the animals with you and your family. Those monkeys were into the "monkey-business" weren't they? Lol. Two questions: How long before the bird eggs hatch? Is there anything that you miss from Canada that you can't get in Nairobi? Have a great day!

[@julibeswick-valentine3690]

Loving the shawl as well as that waist coat. I didn't realise it was sooo long. I have never managed to do the Crab stitch (left handed). I'm total rubbish at it and I so want to crochet some baskets which tend to call for this stitch to finish them off. I really should introduce myself as I've been commenting for a little while now. I'm Julie, a farmer from West Cork, Southern Ireland. I've been knitting forever and had made many attempts to learn to crochet for around 50 year. 4 years ago with the help of the internet I finally taught myself aged 60! For 3 years all I did was granny square blankets and as happy as a pig in muck however I really branched now and learning loads.

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi Juli! Thank you so much for Introducing yourself! Smurfmommy is also from Ireland (although I am not sure where). I tried that crab stitch once too... sucked! So for my baskets I just do a tight row of slip stitches. Cheating, but it works a treat! :) What do you farm? xx!!

[@julibeswick-valentine3690]

The Secret Yarnery Hi Christa, thanks for the tip for using a slip stitch instead of the Crab stitch. The farm is a mix of agriculture and animals. I have dairy cows and goats with fairly large flocks ofhens and geese. Aside from grass which is grown for sileage ( it feeds the cows during the winter) I have polytunnels to grow a mass of fruits, salads and vegetables, there is so much we can't grow here without tunnels because our weather is lousy and so very wet.The fields are planted with various currant bushes, potatoes and root vegetable as well as a massive herb garden. Keeps me very busy from Spring through to Autumn : )

[@SecretYarnery]

Holy MOLY! You are AMAZING! Massive high fives to you! xx!!

[@lisasmith1565]

Lisa in Lizella Georgia again, love the shawl you are wearing. The colours look great on you. Think I'll have to make one too. Look like I have no plans with my granddaughter for Friday and I'll get to join the live chat. Yeehaa... lol animal gymnastics...oops. let's go kids

[@ladonnamcghee1269]

What a Beautiful Shawl, love the Stitch, I really enjoy everything you make, enjoy your videos and Giveaways

[@SecretYarnery]

Thank you so much, Ladonna!! xx!!

[@60x2andgood]

Wish I had one to watch all of your fast but i cant, maybe some time!! Live well and Love all !@

[@laurels7892]

Hi Christa! (Laurie from Atlanta GA). Happy Anniversary! In response to your question, I am intimidated by the pineapple stitch. I was very interested in your Animal Orphanage trip. I thought the enclosures seemed small but when I read that it is a rehabilitation place for injured animals, it made more sense. I know it's hard to release big animals who have gotten used to people back into the wild, but in that park is there a more natural habitat that the animals are moved to when they have recovered? I rescue cats myself. I used to say that I was one cat short of crazy, but I've taken in a few more since then. So....you know....haha (Yarn keeps me somewhat sane.) Thanks for your vlogs. I really enjoy them!

[@TheKellyHaggerty]

I love learning all about Kenya.

[@kecall7962]

I'm new to your channel. Really enjoying your podcasts.

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh thank you Kelly!! xx!!

[@grayone46]

Thank you so much for sharing facts about Kenya, your life & taking us to the animal orphanage! You are so refreshing! Also the things you teach & share about crocheting! 🧡🦒🧡

[@stitchitch7010]

Love seeing the animals❣

[@rachelbutterfield8177]

Yes I did, and I love it!! Although it still needs that border ....... and now the weather is colder I should really chap chap and add it. Miss you!!!!

[@SecretYarnery]

RACHEL!!! You might have to do that... join us for KZbin chats! How sad. But I'll take it!!! Let's have a LIVE class... I'll consult the schedule and revert. ANYTHING to hang with you, Rachel! Miss you LOADS! xx!!

[@lisabradley4331]

Hello Christa, love your shawl so pretty. And I would like to see C2C only because I haven't tried it yet ... Thank you for sharing as always love seeing Kenya...so pretty.

[@Twinkley1981]

How many balls of each colour has your wip blankets taken up to now? I love them. Another Great podcast. You're so friendly and inviting to watch. 😊

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi Donna! Thank you so much! :D My WIP Blankets... 2 for each color plus 2 black for each color... so... sixteen 100g balls? Ish. I think it's a bit more - some colors I needed to bust out a 3rd ball. ;) xx!!

[@Twinkley1981]

The Secret Yarnery Thank you for your reply. I'm going to have to go yarn shopping for some black yarn then, as I don't have enough in my stash. I'm going to make one of your lovely blankets for my youngest daughter. Think I'll use pinks and purple tones on hers. 😊

[@SecretYarnery]

That would be beautiful!! xx!

[@rebeccagrimsley7260]

Your Shaw is my favorite you have done. I will definitely have to give it a try. The color is perfect

[@reneehebert6986]

I made Mijo Crochet's Lost in Time shawl for my sister. I loved making it and she loves wearing it. It is a great pattern. I plan on making the Secret Paths sometime this year.

[@lindagreen1989]

I love them. Beautiful crocheting

[@SecretYarnery]

Thanks Linda! xx!

[@molly1939]

And I’m Amanda from California! No beaches close to me sadly though lol. I just started my own knitting and crocheting podcast so yeah, no time for beaches anyways lol I totally get the time management. We need an extra day between Saturday and Sunday. Right!? Lol have a beautiful day and I’m looking forward to your next episode!

[@redgingerbreadpam]

Love spending time with you on your podcast. Beautiful projects & you look so stunning with that blur top & poncho. Great job. Boys blankets are coming along really nice. Enjoyed going to Animal orphanage with you & your family. But those Monkeys, that was hilarious 😂 Monkey Gymnastics🤔🤔🤔 😂😂😂 Happy Anniversary to you & your husband 🌹🌹🌹

[@starcrossedstitches1169]

hi christa, loved this podcast, see u on ur live , friday :)

[@kerrynwright]

Love the shawl colours, yarn & stitches. ... GORGEOUS! I've never tackled the crocodile stitch & keen to learn it.... though I guess it uses up a ton of yarn?!?

[@SecretYarnery]

Yes, it IS a yarn eater!!

[@eeyore10172]

Christa, I love your shawl, the colors are very pretty. It made me think, here in Miami, I have no use for it, but we go to Pennsylvania 3 times a year. Of course it always snows 3-4 times when we are there and I have nothing appropriate to keep me warm. A nice big shawl would be great to wrap up in. I enjoyed going along with you and your family on your zoo trip. Thank you. I was watching your first Vlog (I believe it was), you showed the cutest hippo made of granny squares, I would absolutely love to see a video of you making that. Or do you already have videos of it? I do so want to make it❣️ Thank you again for your tutorials, travels through Kenya, Vlogs and giveaways. Debby from Miami.

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi Debby! Thank you so much! That hippo is a paid pattern from Heidi Bears over on Ravelry. ...so I can't do a tuttorial. :( xx!!

[@mellodym5931]

Happy Anniversary! Love the shawl you are wearing! Beautiful colors! Looks great on you! Great podcast, as always! :) I guess if I considered any stitch difficult it would be the Solomon's Knot. I have trouble pulling my thread up to the same height over and over. Ok, I have a question...How could anyone live on $130. per month?? It would cost them like a weeks salary to mail a package! Right? I just can't even imagine! Have a great day! See you on Friday! (for the live video)

[@RaquelLopeztagsbytika]

Hiya Christa!!! Thanks for taking us out and about this week again!! I love seeing everything there!!! I think for me the crochet stitche(s) that are giving me problems are ... still the magic ring and not necessarily creating it and crocheting into it but the hanging on to everything .. and then when I am done the pulling closed ... I can never tell which one I should pull and when I am done I always have this mess .. I just wish it were easier to figure out .. I dont know why it eludes me! And then the other one is a standing crochet ... HUH??? I have watched so many videos and just cant get it LOL

[@gillianroberts4501]

Happy Anniversary 🥂🍾.love 💖 your Poncho . Would love a tutorial on it. X

[@mariakristinahawl1640]

you look great in that light aqua. the shawl is stunning! sea spray looks EXACTLY like the beach!!!! secret paths is on my wip list!! the stitch I have trouble with but don't really like anyway is broomstick. I'm too OCD about keeping the loops the same size... not a stitch for someone like me! I drool over all your multicolor crochet threads. wish I could afford them, but I'm obligated to pay for the roof we needed!! hugs!!!

[@SecretYarnery]

Thanks Maria!! Broomstick - haven't even TRIED it yet - I have the same fears! ha ha ha! A roof is important! Yarn can wait! Hugs! xx!!

[@catcrazycreations]

Enjoyed watching your video as always! Thank you so much for the shout-out. Love the shawl, it's beautiful! I can't wait to see the blankets finished and progress on the lion head. I would like to learn the front and back post stitch. I can't seem to figure these stitches out. Thanks for taking us a long on your Kenya adventures. Love the armchair traveling! Looking forward to your next video!

[@catcrazycreations]

Forgot to add this to my other comment. I have a question for you. Are you going to be doing another Amazon haul unboxing? I loved watching the unboxing and seeing all the amazing things you got for crocheting as well as your family.

[@marionb6154]

Hi Christa the stitch I have the most trouble with is front post & back post - I’m alright on the front side but when I turn my work over I get very confused & make mistakes. Love all your videos. Thanks Marion 💕💕

[@SecretYarnery]

On it! After all this CAL business, we';re doing Front Post Back Post. :D xx!!

[@ladyshugg1515]

Hey I'm Shurtorra from North Carolina. I have been watching you for a while just keep forgetting to say hello.

[@shirleyrazey9595]

Thank you for the Kenyans information. I have been thinking about missions.

[@melaniebarreiro3626]

Hello from Florida. Love your down to earth videos. I always look forward to your next one. I really enjoy you sharing information about where you live and the parts of your videos showing the beautiful place.

[@nannybannany]

lolol. Christa you'll laugh. My fiancé had my phone the other day and he saw a YT notification and said "wow, OF COURSE you get something from the Secret Yarnery!" In a tone that was slightly accusatory. But I said "that's my Kenya lady!" (Because I've talked about you before) and he was instantly cool with everything, hahaha.

[@SecretYarnery]

Mortessa - Riiiiight? No threat if I'm THAT far away!! Ha ha ha! Gaming all afternoon tomorrow if you guys are around. ...16 hours from now? Xx!!

[@SecretYarnery]

Someone got their BETA KEY today!! Woot. :D

[@smurfmummy3106]

Aww love it!!! Looks like a beautiful place. You sound like me when I'm out with my kids 'mind the water' 'pick up the pace' 😂😂 As regards stitches, I can never get my edges straight, I usually end up with extra stitches, eeekkkk!

[@pampreast9921]

The stitch that I have problems with is Solomon's Knot.....Thanks so much for sharing with us....

[@Saminah1990]

Hi, christa love your podcast you are an inspiration Happy anniversary to you both Please can you give pattern for long top

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi Saminah!! Yes - I must dig up that pattern - or at least figure it out again and write it out! Thank you so much! xx!

[@kathymiller9956]

BEAUTIFUL SHAWL...

[@ladyshugg1515]

Happy anniversary. I personally cannot do C2C. It's to much, I just can't get it right. I'm trying to work on the ripple stitch as well.

Double crochet gives me trouble - tension wise. And for some reason, I can't make a granny square. I love single crochet in the round and half double crochet.

Hi My Stitch question is..when a pattern says to single crochet in the first stitch or to skip the first stitch from the hook which stitch are they talking about? Can you show me in one of your podcasts please? Thank you so much I love watching your podcasts, I live in Santa Rosa, California and my name is Lori 😀

Can you do a short tutorial on how to do the running stitch marker like on your lion head

The Reverse Single Crochet (aka Crab Stitch or Italian Stitch) - used primarily for borders - gives me the most trouble. For me it curls up and the stitches look uneven - I have to go slow on that one and watch my tension.
