Christy, I just went back to your older videos. Omg. What a voice. ❤❤❤❤❤❤ We olders have many life experiences to ponder on. Sometimes it depresses me. Remembering “what was”.

[@YARNBARF]

And youth is truly wasted on the young. I also look back and wonder how I thought I was too fat or not pretty. I'm grateful that I have lived long enough to "get it all together", as I watch myself falling apart, lol!! If I had known that I was gonna live this long, I would have taken better care of myself. 😅

[@dorididit]

🎉Wow Christy that is so awesome girrrrrrrrlll that is cool 😎 bag 💖

[@Stephanie.922]

You'll get unbarfed before you know it 🥰 love your hippy dippy bag. Beautiful work. Dee had a wonderful original idea with that, and you made it come to life 🤗🤗 Thank you for being such a positive influence in our community ❤ love all the channels you shouted out.

[@YARNBARF]

Thank you so much, @Stephanie, dear heart!! Yes, we like many of the same content creators on KZbin. It's like a box of chocolates here, so many flavors and varieties to keep us entertained!!

[@Stephanie.922]

Exactly ❤❤❤ love you. Oh forget to say love the picture of you and your daddy 🙏♥️

[@YARNBARF]

@Stephanie.922 Actually, that is my Uncle Ernie, my Dad's brother. He was visiting from New York and I was getting ready to do "The Great American Clown Show" in the next town over. Uncle Ernie definitely got a kick out of me, lol!!

[@dawnandhallahavingfun5313]

Your bag is so pretty Christy. 😊

[@GrandmaLM]

Omg. I’m a 60s girl too. Twiggy…I was a twiggy and hated it, tall and skinny. Funny looking back. Tell us more about your tv show.

[@PoshCrochetPatterns]

I like those minis they are cute

[@NanaPlaysHookie]

Love your Hippy Dippy TOTEaly cool hobo bag! I haven't been playing with yarn much because I'm not supposed to move my thumb, trying to avoid surgery. 🤞

[@PoshCrochetPatterns]

The yarn is gorgeous and so is your hair 😊❤

[@DeesCreativeHandsCrochet]

It's AWESOME ❤❤❤❤❤ LOVE YOU GF❤❤❤

[@YARNBARF]

I love you, my favorite Redhead!!

[@HookingGoodCreationsbyTinaC]

Christy, I love the bag you made. Thanks for sharing

[@YARNBARF]

Thanks so much!

[@PoshCrochetPatterns]

Wow that's special that she did that for you 😊

[@YARNBARF]

I was truly super surprised and a bit overwhelmed! Sindy is a true jewel in our Community, she has a heart filled with love for so many, and she has blessed me tenfold with her kindness and generosity. I will make something special just for her, so that I can show my love and appreciation to her also!!

[@PoshCrochetPatterns]

@@YARNBARF that's so sweet and kind of you Christy I'm sure she's blessed to have you as a friend. 😊

[@LisaT_]

My bag is done except the strap, too. Yours is cool

[@elizabethtoller1638]

Hi. I'm newish to the community. But I see you in lots of the lives. You are beautiful. And yes, I wish I looked like I did in my 20s, when I thought I was fat and ugly. Lol. You Tote is awesome. I'm working on mine today. What a wonderful friend Sindy is to you. Amazing gifts you got. Also, I absolutely loved watching your older videos of singing. Hope to become your friend.

[@YARNBARF]

Hi, Elizabeth!! It is good to see you!! I often see you in some of the lives, we must travel in the same circles. Thank you "for the flowers", yes, I grew up believing that I was fat and ugly. Mean kids were on every block in a three block radius, ready to pounce on me. I was never overweight as a child, but anyone would look like Humpty Dumpty next to Twiggy!! She was the role model of the day. Now, being voluptuous is in style, I think. Kim Kardashian has a butt the size of Staten Island and she's all the rage, lol!! So, all of us fat bottomed girls can finally rejoice and embrace our curves and Häagen-Dazs! Thank you for watching and your sweet comment!! ❤

[@judiclover-flick5792]

You got this!! I'm sure you can undo that yarn in no time!!

[@YARNBARF]

It's a daunting task, but I will begin it tomorrow. This yarn is too gorgeous to let go to waste!! And it came from Mama G Gear, so it's super special to me!

[@PoshCrochetPatterns]

Your right it's neat lovely bag you made

[@YARNBARF]

Thank you! 😊

[@mhaen7539]

Fun tote! Love the brooch.

[@YARNBARF]

I have grown to appreciate broaches and the gaudier, the better, lol!!

[@wandagonzalez3311]

hey there sunshine, very nice happy mail, I like your hippy dippy bag, got your work cut out with your name sake (yarnbarffff). God bless, I have days too where I sleep the hours away.

[@YARNBARF]

Hi, Wanda!! Thank you for dropping in and for your kind comment!! Maybe you and I are "part cat"....cats sleep a LOT, lol!! Well, when they are not eating you out of house and home, that is. 😅

[@wandagonzalez3311]

@@YARNBARF that is so true I have 2 Cruella and Simon, Cruella taps on my side so i can walk with her to the bathroom and eat, etc, and she won't stop tapping me until I give in lol.

[@user-ov9kb8nq8i]

Ohhh that is so nice ... love the broach!

[@YARNBARF]

Did you notice the spider broach on the lower camera right side of the handbag? I have grown to love gaudy old broaches for use in my crafts and yarnworks.

[@user-ov9kb8nq8i]

@@YARNBARF love love love it! Broaches used to be the bees knees eh. I've got some that I cherish .. given to me by my mother and Aunt. Blessings to you sweet lady from Canada EH xox

[@AeroLuvrr]

Love your hippie dippy tote working on mine right now. I remember Twiggy. What TV show were you referring to? I want to look it up.

[@PoshCrochetPatterns]

Whoopee girl look at the beautiful hair man I wish I could get my hair to look that good. Hope your doing well you look fantastic!

[@YARNBARF]

Thank you "for the flowers" as we old truckers like to say when receiving a compliment. I enjoy using hairpieces from Temu to play "Dress up", lol!!

[@PoshCrochetPatterns]

@@YARNBARF your welcome sweetie see you in next videos ☺️

[@PoshCrochetPatterns]

I was picked on too, I played clarinet and glasses I got my hair permed in 6th grade they called me poodle everyday they laughed at me. The cutest boy was the one that started it he'd out of no where would start laughing saying look at poodles hair he was so mean they all were.

[@YARNBARF]

I can totally relate, hon! Childhood was tough for us both. Now, I'm a grown up kid, lol!! Hugs!! ❤

[@PoshCrochetPatterns]

@@YARNBARF hugs 🤗 to you too!!! You look very beautiful today in case no one has told ya.

[@mamaggear]

Guuurrrrl, I freakin Love you. You crack me up 😂 I was super impressed with you singing and playing the guitar. Pretty sure I dyed that yarn. Sindy truly is a sweetheart ❤ Yarnbaaaaarf 😊

[@YARNBARF]

You're the best, Mama G Gear!! I freakin' love you to pieces also!! You are definitely one of the "cool kids" and I was a band geek, lmao!! Band geek to freak, but I'm still a Greek, lol!

[@PoshCrochetPatterns]

Sorry I comment alot, I don't have any friends in the real world. I'm inside all day crocheting and I watch alot of videos and I'm always trying to make friends so I apologize for texting so much sometimes I say things that I was like dangit whyd I say that or sometimes texting commenting things come out wrong but I don't like hurting anybody though never mean anything bad by it. I always want the best for everyone.

[@YARNBARF]

You are fine, Ms Posh! We were all cooped up for nearly two years thanks to Covid, and had it not been for KZbin, I would have been talking to my kitchen appliances, lol!! Oh, and scolding my cats for something that they did or didn't do. I have made many friends here in our Crochet Community, and they have saved my sanity and a few others too, lol!! Hugs!!

[@PoshCrochetPatterns]

@@YARNBARF yeah I understand, now that you mention all that I'm having a really hard time with my sanity. I work too hard everyday and night on little to no sleep. All I do is crochet design design some more. My health is bad with no friends I moved to a different town and still haven't made any friends accept on here on KZbin. My Mom died two months ago and relatives we didn't know found out she died with no will and decided they were going to come over and steal almost everything out of the house and tried to steal the house from me and now I'm fighting in court over the her house. I've been going through a lot of hurt. Didn't even get to morn my Mom just jumped right into a whole lotta stress and just been a horrible time. It's has been driving me insane feeling helpless and then the struggle on here has been rough. It's been a rough time for me and making friends on here has helped me to not quit. I've almost quit on this dream career a couple times. It's not what I thought it be you know crochet on KZbin.

[@EllensCrochet]

As always a fun video with Yarnbarf 🤗🤗🤗🤗🧶

[@YARNBARF]

Glad you enjoyed it! ♥️😘
