Crochet with a friend 🧡 - Can you tell what Im making? Team michaels or joanns? & Noro yarn - Ep 3

[@flute6323]

Girl, brag! I want to see it all lol. I love seeing how other people set up their homes. And i love, love, love, seeing peoples gardens!

[@makaylajenkins5097]

Brag about your home! I’m sure you two have worked hard to get there! We are your supporters, we will be happy and support you. Don’t sweat it. :)

[@QuiltedCupcake]

So true! That’s what I love about this community and the age were living in - - we lift each other up and celebrate each other‘s accomplishments. There’s no more room for haters.

[@BlondieKnots]

wow.. Thank you so much and especially thank you for being here and supporting me! 🥰 That means alot to me, you guys are so remarkable im so blessed to have you here!!

[@trmac83]

OMG I’m so excited you’re making the TS dress!! I want to make this for my sister who’s a giant fan!! I am working on the Island Time blanket from Ravelry. I got inspired by one of the projects that used the Marigold Cotton Cakes yarn so mine because I wanted a pride theme! It’s also nice because I don’t have to force the color changes, I just go with the flow! I could never do a temp blanket because I don’t have the patience for constructing blankets that way, props to those who do! And please share your new home, what a great accomplishment and you shouldn’t feel scare to share!! 🎉😊❤

[@BlondieKnots]

Yess you got it!! And oh you’re such a sweet sister for even considering doing that!! I love the flow of the cotton cakes as well! I’m sure your blanket is coming out lovely!!you’re so kind and I appreciate your sweet words so much! ❤

The rural Joann vibe is so real, I recently bought a house in western VA and got smacked with the rural Joann's reality lol

[@BlondieKnots]

Why did my realtor not warn me of this?!?😂 Congrats on your home! Im so sorry that we will have to suffer through this growing pain together!! 😂😂 Just know Ill be thinking about you!! lol

[@darkdest6664]

the tiny tiny joanns in my area just closed 😢 Sucks bec the closest 2 are like 45 min away now 😅

[@itsjuliaaaaaaa]

Also in VA and you're telling me 😅 my old Joann didn't even have big twist yarn, their own brand. Now I think about that and it's mind blowing. Big twist is now my favorite and I can't imagine not having it. 😂

[@jennifergeorge5450]

Your very first home purchase is very exciting. Never feel like you are bragging. It's OK to be excited and want to share your great news with all of your family here. Always love your content!

[@BlondieKnots]

You’re amazing! Thank you so much. Thats so kind of you to say. I’m so happy to have you here and so glad I can make content you enjoy ❤

I don’t ever want you to overwork yourself, but I do enjoy every post you put out! You did said you did spend time with me this morning and made me feel like I was with a friend❤ i’m so excited for you and your husband and the new house! When me and my partner got our house, it was game changing. I just love decorating and making my home my own. I think that’s just us and our creative hearts! It’s inspiring to live here and I hope it’s just inspiring to live in your new home💕

[@BlondieKnots]

Thank you so much and especially thank you for being here and supporting me! 🥰 Im so happy to have you here! Oh congrats to you and your partner too!! Thats soo exciting, Im sooo excited to decorate I can barely stand it! Youre totally right, its definitely is our creative hearts! 💓💓

Your video was perfect for crocheting my granny square totebag at the same time, while being exhausted by several bad sleeping nights x)

[@louiseparve6679]

I made a king size blanket for my son and daughter in-law! Took me 6 months to finish last year. HDC, front loop, back loop, 330 stitches and different color blocks. That was something else!

[@Glitterandgravelroads]

First time commenter. Funny story. So. I was making a temp blanket. I started it here in Georgia, and my boyfriend and I started traveling. I crocheted on the road making special colors for new places and such. Six months in, in Jackson Hole Wisconsin, we break up, long story short. I threw it away, with all my yarn, because I couldn’t get it to fit for the plane. On a positive. I am working on my first true wearables, two different tank tops. The sweet lady on the flight home turned me on to this pattern and I am loving it !!! Congrats on your first home!!! ~ Michele

[@BlondieKnots]

Oh MIchele Im sooo sorry about all that ): but im so proud of you for trying something new!! Im sure they are completely gorgeous!! I love that you got the pattern form someone on the plane! What a cool tie those pieces will have to you now! Thank you so much my friend!! 🥰❤ And thank you so much for deciding to comment today!!

[@TaylorHubbard11195]

I love these videos! They are definitely a fun way to pass the time while I work on a project and not feel lonely! I am only about a year into crochet now, so it has been nice finding new friends with similar hobbies. I am currently working on some crochet sugar cookie ornaments by Sass and Stitch for my very first market at the end of November!! As far as gardening, I have never been able to keep things alive lol, my mother in law on the other hand has the best garden ever! They recently re-did their back yard and there are trees, bushes, flowers, fruits, and veggies everywhere! It is so nice to sit back there and crochet around the plants, and rabbits and birds always come to visit. I love fruit!! My favorite ways to eat them recently have actually both come from tik-toks, one is frozen grapes! So refreshing! And the other is watermelon fries with a strawberry yogurt dip. You cut the watermelon into fry shapes, and then blend up some strawberries, vanilla yogurt, and sweetener of your choice, and then dip the watermelon fries into that and omg so good! Lastly, you should look into a company called "The Peach Truck"! They drive around and make multiple stops in every state all throughout the summer, and you can go and get 12lbs of peaches for like $45! They also do home delivery, and last forever!

[@BlondieKnots]

I’m so glad you love these videos!! I’m so glad to have you here ❤ Your ornaments sounds sooo cute!! I love that!! And maybe we can both get a green thumb here soon!! lol but wow the peach truck?! Are you joking!! That sounds absolutely magical!! 🍑

[@rosemarygingham9835]

loving this style of video! I need more crocheting friends! I just finished a swim cover romper last night! and am working on the 3rd of 8 blankets for my nieces, nephews, and my son! also, making a temperature blanket but I'm behind on it because the other blankets are more time sensitive!

[@rosemarygingham9835]

[@EmmaRanae]

Omg I have so much to say lmao First off I’m making a small beach bag to fit a book and a sock project lol. But I’m so glad to see someone else who buys their yarns from Michaels and Joanns, I always get acrylic and sometimes cotton for like tank tops and things. Hand dyed yarns and lys are cool but expensive and I just can’t justify it lol but omfg our Joanns is packed with yarn so much big twist they have it in boxes up front and in other isles lol. Also I’m doing a small garden and I planted strawberries and cucumbers and the strawberry’s were growing and I was so excited because I loveeeee chocolate cover strawberries. Now they’re dead. But my cucumber plants are going strong so that’s nice so I’m happy I have something growing, but honestly I might do a bed of flowers next year. I’ve been getting flower envy seeing peoples flower gardens 😆

[@elizabethjohnny682]

OMG PLEASE feel free to brag about your home, we are your friends and want the absolute best for you!! Absolutely thrilled about this new chapter for you! ❤❤ I'm working on a cardigan for my MIL, and hoping to finish it next week. It was so great to see you again, looking forward to next time!

Hey Dana, nice to see you today! I’m out here in California and the heat wave is unbearable! Suppose to be up to 110 this week. I stay indoors! I’m making a temperature blanket for my son. It’s for the year of 1978 in San Francisco, where he was born. I’ve been working on it since Sept of 2023! I’m all the way up to October of ‘78’ now. Only 3 months left but would love to finish it by Christmas for his gift! Excited for your move! Peaches!😊

[@BlondieKnots]

Wow that is such an incredibly thoughtful gift!! You’re in the home stretch ! I’m so excited for you to finish it! I wish I could see it that sounds sooo neat!! But stay nice and cool during this crazy heat my friend!! Thank you so much for joining me today ❤ 🍑

I’m not much of a commenter usually, but I’ve fallen in love with your channel in the short amount of time I’ve been watching. It’s quickly become my favourite channel to just sit and watch while I eat or crochet. I’ve been going through some things this week and I found myself in tears hearing you say “remember you are loved”. I know it’s such a small detail of the video that would usually be overlooked, but I really needed that this week and I’m sure others feel the same. Much love to you, Dana, and everyone else watching or scrolling past my comment. ~Zuzanna❤️

But I mean what I say , you’re sooo loved and if reminding you that can help one person. I’ve done my job. You will be in my thoughts and prayers my friend. Keep pushing through and be strong. We are all here for each other and I’m sending you a big warm hug Zuzanna ❤❤

Just found your channel, finding it amazing to listen to your vids while balling yarn. As for gardening, if you have a fairly dry area succulents are great as you give them a tiny bit of water every few months or whenever you remember (they are not fussy) and when you want more, pick a leaf off of one and stick it in the ground.

[@BlondieKnots]

Oh fantastic! I’m so glad you found my channel and you’re here ! Also so glad I could accompany you while balling yarn! I do have a couple succulents indoors I love how low maintenance they are !! Thank you so much for stopping by and hanging out with me 😊

I grew up in rural northern WI so we took what we could get craft store wise 😂now I don't have a Joann close by so it's Michaels while I'm home, and Joann when I'm visiting my parents/shopping with my mom (they're only like an hour away so not too bad). I like them both just for different things since I do a lot of different crafts lol. Currently working on a baby blanket for my sister, a temperature blanket, a fun little flower tapestry, a temperature cross stitch, and an embroidery project! Main focus is that baby blanket so I can actually have it done before baby comes 😅

[@BlondieKnots]

I agree! Both are good for different reasons!! But wow you have your plate full with projects my friend! Great idea making the blanket first😂 I’m sure your sister will adore it! Wishing her a safe delivery and healthy baby!!❤

Oh girl, I FEEL you about the work life balance. I am building my crochet business as well, which means consistent content here on YT and IG and it is hard for me to take a break (don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love what I have been doing and I am extremely passionate about it) but I feel like that makes it even harder to take a break. I just wanna keep doing what I love!! I made myself pick up knitting as a way to continue to play with yarn without the stress of feeling like I need to be making content about it. Anyways, I love you and am so excited for your new home and garden! I can’t wait to see what you do 😊😊🫶

Hi There.

Hi girl, kisses from Brazil, a tip for those who like gardening mainly fruits and vegetables are meliponias, they are some stingless bees that will help in the pollination of fruits and vegetables, especially strawberries, I do not know how the acquisition of stingless bees in your country works, here we do bait and they simply "sprout" in our gardens hehe, it is a very cool activity for those who have a garden at home, in addition to the fact that they produce a delicious honey 😋

OMG! Looking at you crochet without looking... it's like my typing on the computer without looking at the keyboard, I guess but I can't believe it. I am making something extremlly simply and to be fair I am not a seasoned crocheter, I started consistently not long ago, but still I have to look at my yarn all the time?? lol I hope one day I get to be like that, I'd be watching the TV or something and would end up with something done? lol. Right now I can only listen to something and crochet. I love you and your vibes, very comforting.

[@Thorcita]

Also (I am replying as I watch)... bragging?? Who would think it's bragging? If anyone does, they are just jealous and can't be happy for people. Have you thought about a livestream? With the move and everything, maybe you enjoy editing and that's cool, but it would save you time and we would be able to all connect in real time (or watch it later, I watch a ton of livestreams later), I don't know how comfortable you'd be with that, but it could be a whole community meeting kind of thing

Hi. I honestly dont do too well, being in a bad phase of my 1.5 year of long covid, so I picked up my knitting needles again and it's quite relaxing to knit mindlessly while watching your videos. To be sure I will be done with my gifts in time for christmass, I stared on the jumpers I plan to gift for family. I also bought a lot of different coloured yarn for my first huge project, a blanket, based on how my favorite sport team will do. I will not have problem finding a project to work on for a good time, that's for sure.

Garden advice! The cucumbers you showed were left on the vine for too long, so they may be a bit bitter. Pull them much sooner before they get white/yellow and so big around. Those are probably pickling cucumbers and meant to stay small. Good luck!!!

I am also making something, but for dogs and cats 😂 Can you confirm the colors you're using. I'm pretty sure I have all the Big Twist colors you're using, but I want to make sure I'm not missing any. I'm from Va (Alexandria, right outside DC), and it's so cool to follow someone from my hometown area 😁

[@BlondieKnots]

Omg hey neighbor!! Thank you for the kind words!! And omg so fun! I’m using pale peach, Carmel , soft violet and bright orange! Have fun making some trendy clothes for your furry friends! ❤

[@kyliemann504]

Hey girly! So excited for your move. Welcome to the not-so-fancy Joann club😂 Please give yourself grace while you’re moving! We will be here to support you if you post every day or once a month. Don’t overwhelm yourself. I am working on filling orders and not taking anymore lol! I want to get all of my orders filled and then get some stock done and sell stock instead of filling orders. My busy life, anxiety, perfectionism and ADHD cannot handle filling orders as they come. Have the best week! Can’t wait to see your post Monday🧡

[@kyliemann504]

I want to here about all the house things! I’m so proud of you both for buying a house!!!!

[@BlondieKnots]

This is a club I did not sign up for 😂😂 But omg youre just the kindest soul. Thank you so much and especially thank you for being here and supporting me! 🥰 Im so happy to have you here! I am proud of you for tackling those orders and not taking on more! Its such a hard decision to make but soooo necessary sometimes!! Congrats on all your orders by the way! * happy dance* You got this girl, I believe in you!! Have an incredible weekend!! Cant wait to see you in Mondays video! 🥰🥰

[@yarnbaskettoys]

I love sitting and project chatting with you! When you get set up in your new office you should do a live! I’m doing a temperate blanket! I’m behind on the month of June but I’ll catch up! 30 years of crochet I’ve never completed a blanket 😂. This is my year!!!

[@BlondieKnots]

Oh that’s a really fun idea!! Maybe I will! I’m nervous to do a live but I’ll consider it! Yes! This is your year omg so proud of you!! You go friend!

[@blizzardinsummer]

pretty sure i know what you’re working on and the moment i saw it i saved all the photos i could find so i could make it too 😂 currently working on a butterfly top for a friend tho 💚

[@BlondieKnots]

Youre such a good friend! That sounds beautiful!! And yes you know what it is!! lol I cant wait for you to get a chance to make it too! 🥰❤

[@amyd1026]

I love to see family in the videos! I also can’t wait to see your house!! You live near my daughter! She lives in Arlington!! I’m also a Joann lover and online buyer. You can find better deals online!

[@BlondieKnots]

OH how awesome!!! I hoep she loves it in Arlington! And thank you so much! Im so excited to show you more!! 🥰❤

[@McKaylasCrafts]

Also I do have a temperature blanket and I’m actually on track surprisingly 😂 but right now I’m actually knitting a vintage sweater 😍

[@BlondieKnots]

Ohhhh so what youre saying is youre better than everyone for keeping up with yours!! 😂😂LOL totally kidding, Im so impressed, good for you my friend! Im so jealous! But wow what youre making sounds unbelievably stunning!!! I love a good vintage

[@McKaylasCrafts]

@@BlondieKnots I’m screaming 😂😂😂 well check back in in December and see if I’m still better than everyone 😂

[@katherynyoung9923]

Oh man the small town versions of the major craft stores is FELT. I'm from a big(er) city and currently live in a super tiny town and only have access to Walmart and it's killing me 😅 I get to visit my hometown sometimes and I ALWAYS go by Joann's when I'm there. Also, I love what you're making and I can't wait to make one of my own! Currently I'm working on a pattern bundle for amigurumi birds with hats! Mostly duckies, but I'm throwing a chicken mod and flamingo mod in there, with plans of some other birbs released later on 😁

[@BlondieKnots]

Oh gosh yes I understand that and IM SO SORRY! Thats rough but I hope you get to visit your hometown one quite often. But yay! I hope you give it a try, its alot of fun!! But what youre working on sounds soooooooooooo freaking adorable. who doesnt love birds in hats?!? Like come onnn!! LOL It all sounds amazing!

[@Kraft2Kreations]

That’s so not bragging it’s yall being proud of your accomplishments which is so awesome 😊

[@BlondieKnots]

You’re so kind. Thank you my friend ❤

[@megmae19]

I’m doing a book rating blanket and a cardigan. I usually do the blanket when I just want to mindlessly crochet and not have to think about a pattern

[@BlondieKnots]

That is so unique! What a great way to combine hobbies!

[@HoneyHorseHandmade]

Definitely a Joann girly! The Michaels around me barely have any yarn in stock and they keep dwindling down on the already small yarn section. Also I’m so excited and happy for you about your move!! It’s going to be amazing to have a space that is all your own! And yes your videos are exactly like talking to friends and hanging out! I’ve come to love hanging out with you on Mondays and Thursdays! Also I’m terrible with work life balance as well and have been working on it. I just put too much into work and then barely get to enjoy my hobbies which I love! (Crochet, reading, and hanging out with my horse & dogs!) 🤍

[@BlondieKnots]

Yes I feel the same way about micheals! But awh thank you so so much my friend! You’re so kind! I’m so glad you came to hang out with me today! I hope we can both try to work on our work life balance together!! ❤

[@why_squeble6603]

I am working on the SAME thing you are - HAHA - I have 3 rows left of the body & sleeves to do.. I did start a temperature blanket - but am way behind - I am done through March...

[@BlondieKnots]

😂😂 omg thats so funny I love that! And hey noo judgement!! May isnt much better 😂

[@beabee_taylorsversion]

I just finished a hexi cardigan and I have a shawl that's a WIP and a granny square blanket that's a WIP.

[@BlondieKnots]

GORGEOUS!!! Get those wips finished!! YAY

i love these videos! i’m crocheting my first blanket while i recover from surgery. i’m a michael’s girlie but i really wanna check out the joann’s yarn selection when i get my own yarn collection under control

[@BlondieKnots]

Oh gosh! I hope you are having a speedy recovery my friend! I’m so glad I could accompany you today! The yarn stash is a never ending battle for me!!

I am so glad I have found your channel! Keeping me company while working on a baby blanket for my nephew that arrives in a couple weeks. ❤

[@BlondieKnots]

Ohhh how exciting!! Wishing the baby and momma a safe delivery! So kind of you to make a blanket for the new baby ❤ I’m so happy to have you here my friend !

[@susiescrochetchat]

Omg!!! I didn’t know you live so close to where I live. I live Martinsburg, West Virginia I understand what you’re saying about the Joanne fabrics I go to the one in Hagerstown and it’s terrible I recently went to Winchester Virginia to their Joannes and it was much better I would love to know the name of the shopping center of Joannes that you frequent in the city. I love DC. In fact, my husband and I were thinking of going there this weekend. I told him I’d like to go and see the monuments at dusk. Anyway, I find you so inspiring. I love your videos. I just recently started a KZbin channel for crochet. It’s very small but anytime I mention you I make sure I put a link in the description box. Can’t wait to see the dress on Monday I love it❤❤

[@BlondieKnots]

Oh wow! Im sorry yours is bad too but Im glad WInchester is better! Ive never been to any over there! But thats really exciting!! I hope you guys do make it to DC this weekend! Thatll be lovely espically at dusk, what a view that would be! Thank you so much and especially thank you for being here and supporting me! 🥰 Youre so kind! Best of luck on your youtube journey my friend! Im so excited for you and that adventure! I also cant wait to show you the dress on monday!! Have an amazing and safe weekend my friend!!

[@Sleepystitcheskim]

Hi Dana, I'm working on a purple and orange striped Every Girl Sweater for the autumn. It's the first jumper I've ever attempted. I'm not doing too well in the UK heat, especially with my fibromyalgia and POTs syndrome but I'm very excited about the weekend as I'm going to visit my boyfriend for 3 weeks. Thanks for the crochet and chat 🧡💜

[@BlondieKnots]

Hello my friend! Congrats on your first jumper, Im proud of you for trying something new! Im sure itll be lovely, Im so sorry youre not well): please take care and be careful with yourself during the heat! I am so happy youll get some time with your bf coming up thats wonderful! Enjoy each other! Thank you for coming and hanging out with me today🥰❤

[@jordanjohnson8913]

I'm working on the same thing you're working on! Finishing up the last panel now... Not excited to weave in all these ends but very excited for the finished product!

Yay! I can’t wait to show you Monday!! And I can’t attest to it only seen it on the internet and that is not always to be trusted 😂 I need to get into magic knots though!!! Thank you for the reminder! lol

Hello Dana!! You are my favorite youtuber and now I need to go buy that yarn. I'm literally dying over it, its so pretty and you should make a sweater of it. Don't burn yourself out, its ok if you don't post a Thursday video. Good luck with the move and happy stitching!! #CROCHET

Omg you’re so sweet!! That makes me so happy! 😊❤ I can’t wait to show you the final results Monday!! Thank you for the grace my friend, I’m so happy to have you here ❤

[@BlondieKnots]

YAY! what youre working on sounds lovely! But Im having alot of fun working on this project and I hope you do give it a shot too!!

[@georgiacorey954]

That Noro yarn is so pretty & wow it has silk in it. I love a nice silk blouse. You have to make something close to your skin like a cowl or scarf or hat or fingerless gloves.

[@BlondieKnots]

Yes that is a great idea! Thank you!!

[@Diamond-o8e]

Has three tapestry projects to do for my bedroom. One is a smiling panda the other one is heart with a music note. The last one is a heart with a paw print. Also likes the top that you are wearing right now

Oh I’ve made one of those for my brother before! Very nice gift for a father in law! So sweet of you! And ohh how fun! I’ll have to look that up! I’m not familiar with that name but we have so many wineries out here! I hope you had an amazing time! ❤

[@kennedydodds7840]

That Noro yarn is so beautiful! I’ve never heard of it but I’m intrigued now. Also I’m only on February on my temp blanket 🫢😅🥲 but to be fair I only started crocheting in May lol. That’s so cool you have a garden now! I’ve always wanted a garden, just have never had the space. How exciting this move must be for you! 💖

[@BlondieKnots]

Ohhh I’m so sorry to introduce you to noro because it consumes my life now 😂 I think for just starting crochet you being on Feb is actually really good! Keep up the work my friend! I believe in you! Welcome to the crochet community! I’m so excited to share my crochet and gardening experiences with you!😊❤

Also mangos are sooo good in the summer

[@BlondieKnots]

FACTS!! LOL

[@simoneclarke5104]

That was fun! Sitting here with my morning, coffee working on my mindless blanket (a gift), thank you for the company🥰. I am also working on a beautiful evil eye granny, square cardigan for myself. My want to make wish list is just way too long lol, mostly garments, some home decor and amigarumi thrown in there. Don’t despair over your local yarn stores, just make it a fun trip every now and then to your favourite Joannes, etc. We live in a rural area and only shop in the city twice a month which makes it something to look forward to. I am so jealous of all the yarn shops that you have down south. Here where I live, I only have Michael’s & Walmart☹️. Shipping is astronomical here to Canada, so I rarely will order anything. KZbin will be your best friend as far as gardening goes. Have fun with it, there’s nothing like going out to your own garden and picking fresh food and putting it on your table💖

[@BlondieKnots]

Oh I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! What a lovely gift!! And fun project for yourself! But you’re so right. I will just make fun trips now and again and looks like I’ll have to pick up alittle extra when I go…oh well🤭😂 thank you so much for the sweet comment and good advice!! I couldn’t agree more!!❤

[@QuiltedCupcake]

I needed this today too! You inspired me to get that pullover pattern and she’s on the hook! I’m using a rainbow cotton from HL and I’m already loving the drape. Having your own business that’s around your passion can be hard to separate out work and play. I know I work harder because it’s for ME. And I’m ok with that. It’s only a problem if it sucks the joy out of your life. Thanks for the chat. ❤ Jean aka Quilted Cupcake 🧁

[@BlondieKnots]

Hey Jean! Oh yay!! I’m so glad I inspired you to start something new today that is so fun!! That’s a great point you make! Thank you for the insight! ❤I’m so glad you joined me today and commented! It’s always a pleasure 😊
