[@DottieMurphy]

Hi Juan, I am crocheting a shoulder cape. Today is my 77 birthday 🎉. I have had a terrific day. Now to top it off with whipping it with Juan 😅.

[@NannaLannaCrochet]

Hope that makes your day better-Juan is always fun

[@LisaT_]

Happy Birthday, Dottie!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@JuliaDownham]

@@DottieMurphy happy birthday

[@JuanTheYarnAddict]

Happy Birthday!!

[@snowiecat456]

Happy Birthday Dottie. Glad you had a terrific day. I'm sure Juan's podcast would have been the icing on the cake🤗🎂🍰

[@christinesevigny6980]

First of all I need to thank you Juan for bringing my crojo back, especially the sessions with your Mother Wilma. I lost my Mom in 2020 to dementia and when I tuned into your Sunday night crochet chat, I noticed that your Mom looks so much like mine that it was a sign for me to get going and be creative again. So I’ve been tuning in since before Christmas and have completed 4 of the projects that I started, one over a year ago. I have no one to crochet with and crocheting with you and mom has been very dramatic for me. BTW my husband thanks you as well, as I suffer from depression and anxiety and when I crochet he says my face changes and I am very calm.

[@kathycannon5536]

Hi Juan. Thanks for a great time tonight. Your voice is so soothing I got a lot of things done while listening

[@sugardiamond.]

Hi Juan, hope your mom and you are doing well. I just love seeing you in my favorite color. That color on you is so good 😊 ❤💜💜💜💜

[@sunshinesuzi5324]

Hi Juan, good to see you and love your enthusiasm ! Hope you and momma Wilma are staying warm ! ❤

[@willahurliman7429]

My blanket. I am going to start a. Hat beenie to match a scarf i made . Enjoyed this Juan.

[@deannberry]

LOVE these WIP’n It sessions! Watching/listening while cleaning before the Boggy Creek live❤❤❤

[@ValWeist]

Hi Juan! Thanks for keeping me company while I crochet! I love the idea of gifting an unfinished wip, I’ll take one! 😊

[@ivettepassiglia4971]

Hi Juan. I'm knitting my MAL and thankfully noticed that I yarned over and missed the purl stitch so I had to tink back 1\2 my row. My hands are not in pain right now but after crocheting so much this past year I had forgotten how sloow knitting is compared to crochet. I'm glad you have given us to March 1st to complete. I decided to knit a garment for a change of scenery. Anyway, thanks for keeping me company. Hugs.

[@sherylhutton138]

As always I enjoyed this session. I am finally back to my normal mental state. To clarify what I meant on the live, I had been going through some things with my mom and It had made me so depressed that I asked my dr. if I could get my meds upped and she said certainly because I had been going to her for lots of years and she knew me very well. When your meds get upped you go through a period of adjustment and that was when I was going through it (sometimes it can take about a week). I was cleaning my desk tonight of paperwork while watching instead of crocheting. I am almost finished with one project I had started over a year ago. I was making a rainbow tote bag to take with me to the store and whatnot. I just need to secure the handles on both sides of the tote and I am done. I used Sheepjes Soft Fun yarn I got from "All around the Yarn table" in Cleveland Ohio. It was about 1 mile from my son's house. They carry all kinds of hanked yarn and hand-dyed and they even have people sitting around a table making their projects. I will be here for the next one.

[@jennyremington7266]

Ohh yay all the ones I came across were for members only. So I so happy to see ya!

[@TerryAnne77]

Wip'n it with juan are my favorite of your videos besides your tutorials. ❤😊

[@JuanTheYarnAddict]

Thank you!! I’m so glad you enjoy the videos!!

[@karinfehr4334]

Yaaaah! You picked up your birthday blanket again it's so pretty!

[@LadyCrochet1973]

I'm working on the MAL 💜 Can't tell what I'm making because it's going to be a surprise I'm making it in honour of you and Mama Wilma 💜💙

[@silkspinner7010]

Love what your doing with your knitting journey, I’m very excited for it too

[@cherylschram862]

Hi crochet buddy😅, missed it when you came on but caught you on replay. Thanks for being there!

[@heatherspinden2408]

Hi Juan. I am working on the MAL and my knitting. I absolutely love your videos and all the contents. ❤ I am always thinking of my next project. Last year I made an Entrelac hat. I love to learn new things. Thank you for being you.❤ Love you ❤

[@JuliaDownham]

You help me relax, I don't need as much meds when you are on So thank you

[@JuanTheYarnAddict]

You’re welcome 😊

[@JessicaCardis]

I feel like I remember when you opened the happy mail with the Earthy in it and that was the first and only time I'd ever seen it. It is soooo pretty! I hope you get enough to make a project! I have some very old variegated yarn. No ball bands, unfortunately, but pretty sure they are red heart. Love to you and momma Wilma!! 💚💚💚 Also, I posted the other day on you fb group my temperature blanket I did in the moss stitch. 12 squares. I think it finished at 54x72 and I finished it with the crab stitch.

[@conniewagner4234]

Your blanket looks beautiful, Juan! That Red Heart With Love colorway is so pretty. 😊

[@sunshinesuzi5324]

Yes, Juan , I love doing Tunisian crochet it’s so repetitive and relaxing ! I just finished a Tunisian Shrug by TL Yarn crafts… I just love it, it was a quick make. And right now I have a Tunisian blanket on my hook, Motley blanket by TL Yarn Craft… but I must tell you I prefer to use the full stitch as opposed to the simple stitch as I am a very tight crocheter and the simple stitch becomes too bulky for me.

[@juliagracia3179]

Hi Juan...watching replay...love the colors of your birthday blanket..its looking great!

[@kathrynjoubert3442]

Hi Juan l just love watching you you make me feel so good and happy l have a lot of anxiety and you make me feel good l just love you

[@stevansilva9821]

I’m still working on the rectangular granny from your tutorial and like you, I have more than one WIP going.

[@YvonneDixon-t3u]

I made a bag with afghan hook, put a zipper and strap, I use to hold my pill bottles, been using it for years

[@juliemclean362]

Hi Juan great to spend this time with you 😊 I’m on the boarder of my MAL 😊

[@lindaclark1875]

Hi Juan, yes I do some Tunisian a matter of fact I just finished a Tunisian scarf for my daughter.

[@RoyLong-l4i]

You B-Day blanket is getting huge. Its beautiful.

[@TracyDraper-jn8os]

You are great company! Thanks for being you!

[@AlrakWeaver]

I did Tunisian long ago it was called afghan hook. I don’t know if they had those circular Tunisian hooks back then. But I had the old fashioned very long straight Tunisian hooks… I did it to make a cross stitch pattern. I’ll send you an old photo of it tomorrow. And yes. I talk to myself as well when I’m crafting. 😊

[@tammyfleming7]

Hi my crochet buddy u know I love these videos and I am crocheting on my cal iam on the second corner in the cream … hope you had a great day at work give mom a hug and have a great night❤️❤️

[@wandalee6502]

Hello JUAN! I love your blanket. Thanks for gifting me the membership. I am enjoying. I live in Austin, Texas.

[@violetwheatley2381]

Hi Juan. I just finished an amigurumi 🦥 and knitting two Ragland sweaters, crocheting a zig zag throw blanket. It's necessary to have other projects when I am working on amigurumi's. So far the projects are all hug gifts but I don't mind that and I'm almost done with hug gifts.

[@sunshinesuzi5324]

Hi Juan, good to see you, love being your crochet buddy! You are interesting and entertaining. Hope you and momma Wilma are staying warm…. also you could trim your birthday blanket in the faux reverse single crochet… it gives the same look but it much easier and faster ! ❤

[@badrake4696]

Birthday blanket looking good. Love that charcoal with the RH Love variegated yarn. 🧶🧶🧶

[@jeaninelong6049]

Hi Juan. Enjoying the episode prior to watching Boggy Creek unboxing. Love that birthday blanket.

[@joycel1746]

Hi Juan. Caught the replay. I also have a mom I take care of, and was doing dinner. I just finished a baby blanket with booties and a cap. Now I am starting a Mosaic CAL and also another CAL. I like working two projects so I can go between them and not be bored. Have a great day and stay warm.

[@theresamcdonald2144]

I do the same thing, working on more than one project to relieve boredom. It works😊

[@miriamjenkins3560]

I'm on my knitting journey as well Juan. I'll pray for both of us 😂

[@Gammy2seven]

Good evening. Enjoying watching, keeps me company. Thank you. I’m working on beanies right now.

[@louloustreasuretrove2122]

Wow 🤩 love the blanket (your Birthday one) and the colors are beautiful. Our half brother was born on July 31. Such a small world. I am so happy to see you today. Sorry I have missed your lives lately. Love you bunches ❤❤❤

[@JuanTheYarnAddict]

That’s so awesome! I love that you are here! 👋

[@conniehalloran5066]

Hey Juan ! I do watch you to keep me company , I live by myself . I’m putting a border on the C2C I’m making for my grandson’s birthday . Thanks crochet buddy !❤

[@brendascuccimarri8138]

Live your entralac project. That’s the size I want to do. Can’t wait till you do your tutorial.

[@karenbailey3493]

Love your birthday blanket! Fruit Punch is a fave of mine too. Also love your Tunisian make!

[@userNanaCarrie]

Lurking and working on a sweater...I crochet year round as well !

[@penboltonvt]

I've completed one tunisian scarf years ago, but I hate the curl so I never did anything else. I can't wait until you do a tutorial on the entrelac in the round, Juan! I love the blanket you're making. It's beautiful! Thank you for everything 💜💜💜

[@reneeboldizar]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOTTIE 🎉❤

[@nbrowning90]

I am working on Jeannie Steinnhilber's Inspired by Grace pattern as a weddi g gift using Caron 1 Pound (canal) using a 7mm hook and listening & lurking.

[@sandygrogg1203]

So happy to see you using Susan Bates hooks. I learned on Susan Beto, and still use them. But I prefer the plain ones, with no pan handle. I also love my tulips, and the wonderful clover, amour books. In addition, I very much enjoy using the Knit Picks radiant laminated wood hooks in the larger sizes. They are so beautiful. Well, I have to say I still love my old Susan Bates hooks. I just bought a set, and keep it in my to go bag. I especially like that they are color coated, as are the clover Moore. This is a big help when you have impaired vision.

[@lindahammond6674]

I'm working on my MAL and enjoying it. I'm using a new kind of yarn and it's interesting.

[@miznataly01]

Gorgeous ❤

[@CandaceBeaverson]

Hi Juan. So glad to see your WIPS

[@DazzlingCrochetsSandy]

Hello Juan! replay hugs! I do a little bit of knitting, also Tunisian and crochet as well. Also for my shop I make greeting cards for various occasions. Currently, while resting and listening to you, I am working on my third top down granny stitch sweater, one raglan sweater all dc. And yes, my Sophies Universe is in time out, probably up to summer. We still have annual inventory, it will be done, hopefully, on the 11th. It needs to be done so that the shops start working on Monday, Jan 13th. So tired with all of the counting, cleaning along the way, putting it all back in it's place. And still I haven't touched the paperwork for 2024. There are some loose ends, not on our part, but on the publishers or wholesaler's end. Some invoices for 2024 haven't been sent yet to be able to close the 2024. Big HUG to you and mama!!!!

[@carolyntierney4840]

Nother better then a crochet buddy.😊

[@fatimamedeiros1914]

Hello Juan!I am working on a ripple blanket you are great company .Thanks so much for your videos.❤

[@cathyfeather4620]

I have been crocheting 50+ years and have never done Tunisian crochet. One of my goals is to learn Tunisian crochet in 2025.

[@PatriciaGeorge-dl8cb]

Hello Juan!! Finally here again.

[@Becscraftynook]

Hi Juan! I’m watching you while I work on my WIP which is a C2C blanket in lion brand ombré in the colour way “serene” ( I know you’ll know what the looks like) 🫶🏻

[@JuliaDownham]

My mind is usually on a few things at a time, in different crafts

[@patriciagrossberndt]

Good evening Juan I so enjoy wip n it with Juan. Your company warms my heart. Please keep doing these sessions. How do you overcome fear of failure on a special project? I am so afraid of disappointing someone because it's not perfect.

[@terry_679]

I've found that the vintage yarn I find is thicker and the quality so much nicer.

[@JuanTheYarnAddict]

I totally agree with you. I love the quality of vintage yarn!

[@PamelaWiley-c7l]

I've crocheted for years, and I started Tunisian last year. I love both and working on a tunisian scarf right now. I'm using a fair isle type yarn and it's beautiful. In your favorite color blink. lol

[@cynthiaantone991]

I'm finishing a baby blanket soon. I'm thinking of starting your purple and blue project and making my first temperature blanket. And, of course I'm listening to you and crocheting.

[@Fiber-Arts]

Hey Juan, I live close to Dunkin Donuts headquarters 🎉

[@twinthinguk3621]

i just ordered a knitting and crochet journal! thanks for the idea, love from the UK xxxx

[@FranKalish-h4s]

I’m only doing crochet right now. But I’d love to hear about color theory and you do keep me company.

[@kellieseagle7089]

You are delightful ❤

[@JuanTheYarnAddict]

Thank you so much! 💖

[@donnamayfield3]

I'm working on my MAL. It's a granny chevron blanket with Puzzle yarn .

[@lpultz6071]

HAPPY BDAY DOTTIE🎉🎉🎉

[@Valerieknitterhands]

Hi Juan you made a beautiful blanket made in the Apache Tears stitch I would love to see you do a tutorial on that particular stitch

[@JuanTheYarnAddict]

You are so right! It’s so pretty! 😍

[@karenbailey3493]

You asked- I also remember the “afghan hook” moniker. But I learned all the things as a young child. My mom and I learned every craft. But, I have completed Tunisian blankets! Also washcloths! I have done the woven look where you switch a nice solid with variegated, each row, it’s gorgeous. It appears as a woven blanket. I have also done the Entrelac stitch in blankets. My favorite is the Tunisian half double. No curling. 😉 the woven look Tunisian is taught beautifully by The Make and Do Crew. There is a video.

[@stevansilva9821]

I love Tunisian crochet. I have 2 UFO’s that I need to complete. One in shades of blue and the other is in orange, white, & yellow (for me).

[@lindaclark1875]

By the way Juan you look good in that red.

[@MommaBear42]

Enjoying working on my jytawintermal. ❤

[@Mountaingirlcrochets]

Hello Juan💜! I’m happily working on Majestic Ridges Scarf♥️

[@stevansilva9821]

That is a beautiful box you have for your stitch markers. The candy corn is cute. Could you show your other stitch markers? Maybe in a podcast or a WIPN It live.

[@dianabutler9570]

Hi Juan I just got home and I’m watching the replay 😊😊😊

[@Lauratwistingstitches]

Hi Juan 😁I have 2 active projects right now. My morning WIP is your cornerstone pathways blanket and my evening WIP is a flat construction cardigan. I am also thinking about all the other projects I want to make next while I work on current projects lol 😂

[@beverlyfowler1628]

Goid evening, Juan!

[@eleanorkaempf8337]

I thankfully only have 2 WIPS. Right now I'm working on the MAL.

[@JuliaDownham]

Just messed about with Tunisian. More blocks about 8-12" learning different stitches

[@CandaceBeaverson]

I have some " With love " ECH0". Same vintage yarn line that you are working with on the birthday blanket now. Have any ideas for my vintage yarn?

[@sandygrogg1203]

I live in Cincinnati, and we have been snowed in. I have had no coffee since Sunday morning. I’m getting a delivery sometime today and can hardly wait. I enjoy tea, but it’s just not the same.

[@krystasimmons8611]

I wanted a furls oddessy hook but I didn’t get to before they quit making them 😞

Hi My Favourite Crochet Buddy Love all the things 🤟💜 Wishing you a fantastic day Greetings Manuela aka Lady Crochet 🧶

[@samanthastewart7133]

Hi Juan and I hope we meet our goal for camp boggy creek and right now I am working on my cottage core mosaic blanket and granny squares blanket and butterfly mosaic blanket and I love your channel and your videos and if you keep making videos I will keep watching them and what is your favorite crochet project to work on right now and favorite types of yarn to used when crocheting and keep up the great work on your KZbin channel and keep up the great work on your crochet projects

[@dawnboren594]

I just started a hooded scarf with some yarn bee that was discontinued.

[@allenthompson4246]

I have learned how to Tunisian crochet. I am also trying to learn how to continental knit. I have found there are a lot of different styles. I find that English style knitting is the easiest for me as this was the type i learned to do when I was 8. I also crochet and and am teaching some ladies at my seniors center how to crochet. I love to listen to you and have learned some interesting stiches from you. :)

[@miriamjenkins3560]

I Tunisian crochet, crochet and starting to knit. I want to do it all. 😊 I have finished a Tunisian scarf.

[@faithcooper8935]

I have completed a few projects and I have blankets and garments in the plan,

[@franpinson67]

I am working on a round throw in teal, a Annie's kit. Love your videos just started watching this month.

[@JuliaDownham]

I got myself a journal to keep a record. My problem is I forget to fill it in. I need to record when I order yarn for a particular item, because I get the yarn and forget what it is for

[@EmilioThumbgusset]

Here's a hint from a knitter: when you get into small-circumference circular knitting (hats, etc.), take a look at the two-circulars method, vs. double-pointed needles or the magic loop method. IMHO, this is the easiest and most enjoyable way to go.

[@stevansilva9821]

Oh yes! I do that. Only problem is I tend to stop what I’m doing and start the “new thing”. 😂

[@stevansilva9821]

I finally got myself some Prym hooks and that’s thanks to you. I am still trying to find the Dots hooks to try as well but I haven’t found them yet.

[@eleanorkaempf8337]

Hi Juan glad to see you and the WIPS.
