Make Some Custom Yarn Cakes With Me!

[@donnagraydailey748]

I love that you are natural. You shouldn't have to apologize for life noises and your bed. That is just life. I would rather watch you just being you than trying to be something or someone you are not. You talk to us like you are talking to a friend. That is honestly how you put people at ease, and they continue to watch. God bless you, your husband and your babies.

[@kristencrochets]

Thankyou Donna! appreciate that so much! I really do view you all as my friends and so glad to hear you feel the same! Thanks so much for your support! God bless you and your family as well ❤✝

Hey Kristen, great job! I really enjoyed the video and it made me want a ball winder lol.

[@kristencrochets]

Thankyou Shannon! 😊🥰 It is so much fun you should definitley consider getting one!

[@ShannonTalksYarn]

@@kristencrochets I probably will!!

[@CoramDeoCrochet]

I think this was great content, Kristen! I was glad to hear you giving yourself some grace! Praying for the boys and you guys, too!

[@kristencrochets]

Thankyou so much!!! ❤️

[@mDiago6200]

Thank you for showing how you do this. I do not have a cake winder but it’s on my wish list. I like the way you change/combine the colors. Hope your kids are better soon.

[@kristencrochets]

It's so much fun to use and deosnt take long to get the hang of it! And thankyou so much! 😊❤️

[@jinnyedge6180]

I thought that was an excellent video. I have never seen a magic knot made before - so thank you very much for your clear explanation. Jinny - UK🇪🇺🇬🇧

[@kristencrochets]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it and you're welcome! It's by far my favorite join method and has been a game changer for me. I appreciatd you watching and commenting!

[@jlklbr56]

Love the tweedy texture you achieve with two strands of yarn... beautiful!

[@kristencrochets]

Thank you! 😊

Thankyou so much! 🥰💕

[@julieewe_crochet5059]

Thanks for sharing 💕 Hope your boys feel better soon🌻

[@kristencrochets]

Thankyou so much! 💜!

[@ItsTimeforYarn]

Your blanket looks great! I’ve only made one scrap blanket but I had so much fun with the color changes. I am building up scraps now to make my next one. 💜😁

[@kristencrochets]

Thankyou!! 😊 Scrap blankets have become one of my favorite things to make!

[@grammy279]

Nice! I made 2 of these blankets last year for my grandkids. Tip: place an empty tote on the floor or your table to hold the skeins your going to use to make your cakes. If your lucky enough to get a center pull on the skeins, just prop them upright in a small basket and you can buzz right through faster. Good job!!

[@kristencrochets]

Thankyou! That's a great idea. Thanks for the tip! 😊

[@grammy279]

@@kristencrochets you’re welcome. You inspired me. I went through my drawers last night and pulled all my smaller amounts of saved yarn, and ended up with 7 big cakes. And I didn’t sleep well last night, so I was up and got 6 rows done on my full size blanket. It looks good. All half double crochet. So thanks for the inspiration!!👍😇

[@joannehinchcliffe5077]

Thank you for showing us how to use the winder. I have just bought one but haven't used it yet. Hope you boys get well soon.

[@kristencrochets]

You're welcome! And thankyou they are much better! 💕

[@DawnOnye]

I can’t wait to try this blanket for myself!

[@kristencrochets]

I hope you love making it as much as I did! 💕

[@kerrisholtz9330]

Good job....very brave of you!!!

[@kristencrochets]

Thankyou! 😊

[@denisehudson4723]

You did fine no worries. Thanks for sharing how you do cakes it was interesting. Hope your boys get feeling better soon nothing like having a sick child that's for sure.

[@kristencrochets]

Thankyou so much Denise! 💕😊

[@Leah_Crochets]

You did a great job! I think it just makes you more relatable, because I would assume most people don't have a fancy setup (myself included). As long as you love what you're doing, it will show through the video. Also, the colors you chose were so pretty together!

[@kristencrochets]

Thankyou Leah!! 😊❤️ Your encouragment means a lot to me! 💕

[@mishellegarrett9243]

You did just fine! Tip: tension has a lot to do with the wonkiness of the cake. Tighten it up a bit. Also I use a hook to pull the outside ends toward the middle of the cake. Hope that's helpful.

[@kristencrochets]

Thankyou for the tips!! 💕

[@angelicaescalera2941]

I loved this video! I had no idea I needed a yarn winder! You have taught me so much in so little time. I learned the Magic Knot too. Can I do a one strand cake on the yarn winder?

[@kristencrochets]

Thankyou!! 😊❤️ That makes me so happy to hear! And yes you can totally just do one strand!

[@RobinSimmons-y8u]

Your video was perfect. I echo the comments from the other subscribers. You are genuine and friendly. You do the best you can with what you have. I do have a question: when you start a new cake, do you join it with magic knots?

[@kristencrochets]

Thanks so much Robin! I truly appreciate that! And no I don't join when I start a new one. Hope you have an amazing weekend!

[@angelatalbert5114]

Very good tips. Thank you!

[@kristencrochets]

You're welcome! Thankyou for watching 💕

[@jencrochetingradtech5913]

That’s a fabulous blanket!! What county g do I you live in? I’m in Bell county. I’m assuming you’re from KY from the shirt and you have the same accent as I do 😂🫶🏼

[@kristencrochets]

Thankyou so much! And yes! 😂 I'm in Meade 🙂

[@danielepoirier7237]

Which weight of yarn do you use?

[@kristencrochets]

I've only made mine using weight 4 but I'd love to make one using 6 weight blanket and chenille yarn!

[@miss_crochet_queen]

Is thst a 4 oz or 10 oz winder ?

[@kristencrochets]

I'm not sure but it's pretty small so I'm guessing 4 oz. Its the craft destiny brand from Amazon 🙂

[@miss_crochet_queen]

@Kristen Crochets I have a 4oz, figured out how to use it last night . Making a scrap blanket ...love it soooo much

[@kristencrochets]

@@miss_crochet_queen They are so fun to use! Especially for scrap blankets! 💕
