Mary Maxim Yarn, Mystery Yarn, A Yarn Tool Purchase Jan 17 2025

[@YarnWithHeart]

Question -- This year, I hope to learn sewing. It isn't yarn related, and has been on my list to learn for many years. Hoping this will finally be the year that I accomplish it. If you would like, you can email or comment about any classes (yarn or non-yarn related) that you plan for 2025?

[@wildflower-spirit-creations]

@@YarnWithHeart I think the only craft I haven't mastered is knitting. I'm either going to try to knit a wash cloth or make a crocheted mosaic mug rug.

[@KnittingAlongTheRockies]

Pretty yarns! I hope you feel back to 100% soon.

[@YarnWithHeart]

Thank you so very much. I hope so too. I am very happy that you enjoyed seeing the yarn. :-)

[@wildflower-spirit-creations]

I love those bright colors for baby blankets.

[@YarnWithHeart]

I am hoping there is enough there for a baby blanket? It will be really nice together.

[@ArtJunkie]

Oh dear. Hope you’re feeling better soon hun. Gentle hugs 🤗

[@YarnWithHeart]

Hi Shannon. Thank you so much for sending me healing thoughts and hugs. I have been feeling better each day this weekend. (Even crocheted a bit, starting on Saturday.)

[@TinaLanoue]

Beautiful colors Cathy! Looking very forward to seeing the completed sweater. You may have inspired a new Art Junkie MAL. See you on those YT streets.🥰

[@YarnWithHeart]

Hi Tina. Thank you so much! The sweater colours are going to work up so nicely, and I am happy that she chose them. Sweaters and Cardis are wonderful this time of year -- and you are so right that is could be a fun MAL!!! About the Friendship Blanket, I am behind... haven't picked up a hook this week (started feeling sick Sunday night). I have 2 stripes for the blanket to crochet by Sunday! That's my goal for tomorrow... See you Sunday, my friend. :-)

[@sarahnicol7767]

I like the camera, useful gift! Ooohh the yarn genie is pretty. Lovely yarns, thanks for sharing.

[@YarnWithHeart]

Thank you so much Sarah! I am looking forward to trying to use these. This camera was definitely a much-needed gift from Jeff... I am looking forward to playing/getting used to how to use it.

[@mhaen7539]

Hope you continue to feel better. Pretty yarn. I can see why you were ooh and aah-ing over it.

[@YarnWithHeart]

Hi Mary. Thank you so much for the positive healing thoughts. I am so grateful for that. For me Mary Maxim has such wonderful mystery bags -- nice yarn, good value, and fun surprises.

[@wildflower-spirit-creations]

It's a lovely location. You look quite comfy and i love your lamp

[@YarnWithHeart]

Thank you so much. It was fun (and comfy) sitting somewhere different. :-)

[@lialawder8680]

Hi Cathy, Thank you for the fun yarn peeks. I hope you feel better soon. It's hard being under the weather. -10 Forecast here for tonight in southern BC,so enjoying all my yarny makes...lapghan, sweater, and shawl! Working on a Premier Spun Colors scarf right now using a free Premier pattern, Bias Mesh Stripe Wrap. Best wishes for speedy health, Lia

[@YarnWithHeart]

Oh my... I can't even imagine -10! Thank you for your best wishes. I am feeling a bit better every day. Loved hearing about the projects that you are working on... It is great that you are having fun with your wips. :-)

[@cdma7sss]

Hope you are feeling better very soon. Like the new camera and love the freedom it gives you to move around. The blanket will be very pretty (the yellow would look good in it too, but I know you don't care for yellow much). Cannot wait to see the cardigan. The colors chosen are great together. I am not planning any classes specifically this year, but would love to get back to sewing someday. Hope Jeff is healing well.

[@YarnWithHeart]

Hi Cindy. Thank you for asking about Jeff... He is improving, but maybe 3 weeks or so away from hearing next steps. The pain/swelling are gone, so that is wonderful progress. And thank you for well-wishes to me too. The new camera -- such a thoughtful Christmas gift -- and seems to be working out well. All of the beautiful yarn... I hardly know where to start. lol

[@lorainelockwood9359]

Oh Cathy sorry you’ve been poorly. Hoping you’re feeling lots better soon x

[@YarnWithHeart]

Thank you so much Loraine. I am definitely on the mend. :-)

[@weijourn1970]

I hope you feel better soon.

[@YarnWithHeart]

Thank you so much Wei. :-)

[@MariaLuvsYarn]

Sorry you have been under the weather. I hope you feel yourself very soon. The new camera and improved volume are a good upgrade. Thank you Jeff! Thanks for sharing your incoming yarn.

[@YarnWithHeart]

Thank you for your kind words... Great to know that the camera and volume were both improvements. Jeff has been such a help! I am happy that you enjoyed seeing the yarn. 😊

[@aleksandradittmar8932]

Happy New Year, hope that you will feel better soon. The new camera is working great.❤

[@YarnWithHeart]

Happy New Year to you and yours also! Thank you so much for your well-wishes. Hopefully, each day I will feel better and better. I am so happy to hear that the camera is working out well. :-)

[@MrsDebbieLW]

Hi Cathy. I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well, hope you feel better soon.

[@YarnWithHeart]

Hi Debbie. Thank you so much for your hopes that I feel better soon. I really appreciate that. Early in the week was the worst of it. Now, I am feeling stronger each day, so things are moving in the right direction. :-)

[@JustMeandCrochet]

Hi Cathy, hope you get better soon. Those was some beautiful yarns especially the purple and pink ones. The camera was very clear. Get some rest and we will see you next week.

[@YarnWithHeart]

Good Day! Thank you so much for the well-wishes. I am very happy that the camera was clear. I really like the yarns too. That BonBon Classic comes in some vibrant colours. See you next week. :-)

[@wildflower-spirit-creations]

That copper nako will go great with some of your advent multi colors.

[@YarnWithHeart]

I love the idea! Thanks for the suggestion. You are right that they will be great together.

[@CynthiaBreece]

The yarn is all lovely. I have used the BonBon yarn for lap blankets and they come out so nice. I hope you feel 100% well soon.

[@YarnWithHeart]

Hi Cynthia. Thank you so much for wishing me well. I really appreciate it. I agree about it being great yarn. I haven't tried making lap blankets... BonBon ones would make up so soft & great texture.

Hi, You have 100 videos as of the moment. 🎉 I pray that you feel better soon. My husband has been sick this week. And, I had a sore throat last night. I took some otc before bed and its better today. I guess another bug is going around. 🙏🏼 Blessings 😇

[@YarnWithHeart]

Oh my... I didn't even realize that I have 100 videos! Thank you for letting me know! It has been "that kind of week" for me... I wish it was ok to take OTC, but because of a chronic health situation, the specialist said that I am not allowed. So, for me it is a struggle of a time. Bless you and thank you for your prayers.

[@wildflower-spirit-creations]

You will love that premier anti pilling. You might want to try a larger hook. Play around with it. The sweater should look like new for a very long time. You might find the yarn a bit slippery compared to basic acrylic but find a hook that works for you.

[@YarnWithHeart]

Thank you so much for the advice about the hook size and yarn. It feels really soft, and I hope that she likes it.

[@MadMimisCrochetandFarming]

hope you get back to normal soon. love the yarn.

[@YarnWithHeart]

Thank you so much Laura. I am happy that you liked the yarn. :-)

[@cindyh112]

I hope you feel better soon. I signed up for "craftsy " to learn about knitting. Got a great coupon code from a knitting video. Very helpful so far, though I have a long way to go before I make it up to the beginner level 😁

[@YarnWithHeart]

Hi Cindy. Thank you so much for wishing me well. About Craftsy.... That is wonderful news! It won't be long, and you will be knitting/purling all kinds of things. I haven't used it to learn as of yet, but I am interested in some of their classes. :-)

[@Oceanviewknitsandcrochet]

Hope you feel better soon, there’s a lot of sickness going around right now. Take care of yourself.

[@YarnWithHeart]

Thank you so much. I hope that I will feel better each day... It really knocked the stuffing out of me... and has been such a relief to be able to crochet a bit again (yesterday and today).

[@tamisabo2797]

Hi Cathy. Good to see you, hope you get better soon, how do I say you sound horrible but great lol. The new setup/camera is great. See you next Friday, hope you kick it by then.

[@YarnWithHeart]

Hi Tami. I laughed, then coughed, then laughed, then coughed... when I read your comment. That is so funny! And I needed a chuckle! Thank you so much. Hoping to be feeling sooo much better by next Friday. :-)

[@Fiber-Arts]

Cathy, You will love the premier anti pulling yarns. They are a beautiful, soft, cushiony yarn. They have DK Colors which are their striped cakes. What are your 2 most favorite yarns to work with ?

[@YarnWithHeart]

Good Day! I so am excited to use the Premier yarn. Last year, I might have said that two of my favorite yarns -- Bernat Super Value or Lion Brand Pound of Love (for donations). And Caron Colorama Halo or EFA Moongleam (for special projects). Now that there have been so many "new to me" yarns that came into my life in the past few months, I cannot say for sure. Even at this moment, I cannot choose just two. lol

[@MyPinkBathtub-Diane]

Gosh, you sound quite sick! 😮 The new camera is working great, and the volume is so much better! Glad you have some fun new yarn to play with. Get better!

[@YarnWithHeart]

Thanks! I am hoping to feel better soon. I am so grateful for the new camera, and so far it has been very easy to use. Thank you for letting me know the volume is better too. See you next week! :-)

[@ChristinesCraftTable]

HI Cathy, hope you are back to 100% soon. Hope the new camera makes your KZbin work easier.

[@YarnWithHeart]

Thanks so much for your kindness, Christine. I'm relieved to be on the mend... It is definitely a lot easier to use the new camera, as I can record directly onto my laptop and don't have to transfer files. Also, it will be nice to easily move around to different locations (eg. maybe out on the balcony in the summer?)

[@judyscreationsincrochet2710]

How are you feeling Cathy? You still sound kind of rough. Hope you are doing better real soon. Take care of yourself.

[@YarnWithHeart]

Hi Judy. I am feeling so much better than early in the week. And I think the worst of it is behind me now. Thank you so much. :-)
