Monday Night Crochet Q&A * Rectangle Granny Blanket * Crochet With Me

[@pamelafreeman4548]

The blanket is getting lovelier all the time! Enjoy your chats so much!!😊

[@sallystevens2947]

Hi Kayla! Another enjoyable chat! So many fun topics and things to learn about you. Take good care! ❤

[@karenh2890]

Listened to you all the way through, Kayla. Very relaxing after a tiring day. When you mentioned how people try to blame you for your illnesses, I thought of something that happened to me right after I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001. A neighbor down the street (her son went to school with our daughter, and we went to the same church) said to me that she would never get breast cancer because she exercised and ate a healthy diet. I was just stunned. I went to the Y regularly and did my best to fix healthy food for my family. But even if I didn't do those things, who would say such a thing. She still lives down the street, but I only talk to her if we run into each other, and I have no choice. I think she's surprised that I'm alive and well 23 years later!

[@Luvnanna21]

Good for you. Congratulations oh being one of us who are survivors.

[@Crochet2StaySane]

I concur, the "healthiest" people get cancer (best or any other), heart attacks, etc. I too am a breast cancer surviver of 4 1/2 years and counting. Healthy as a horse now and then ... other than the cancer.

[@karenh2890]

@@Luvnanna21 Thank you!

[@karenh2890]

@carolarchinal6082 Glad you're doing well. Yes, illness can happen to anyone.

[@karenh2890]

@@dottydolly4223 Thank you so much. I was pretty shocked. I had just been diagnosed and was so frightened. I sure didn't need a comment like that. ☹️

[@LadyDee150]

I am praying hard that you can save that precious finger🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@dianecummins4168]

I watched your lapbook videos and it brought back memories as a homeschool momma. I hear what you are saying about ignorant people who think health issues are the fault of the person that gets them. I cannot believe the nerve of some people! I have thoroughly enjoyed your crochet and chat videos!

[@SusanRBruce6]

Heavenly Father, praying for wisdom for the doctors for the treatments that will bring healing to kaylas finger. We pray for comfort for her heart as she goes thru all of this painful treatment, and that all of this will be successful for your glory. We know you are the great Healer, and that you have a plan for each and every one of us. Praying for Kayla and protection over her finger. Amen 🙏

[@sharonrocke1929]

Amen!

Hi Miss Kayla big daddy fellow crocheters and watchers ❤

[@maryjoelmore4753]

Hi Kayla - so glad to see you this time of night as I am a late person. I have just lifted up a prayer that you are able to save that finger 🙏 ❤love you girl

[@rachaelkoval1116]

Good night all, I'm glad you had three videos, I watched all three while I was trying to take my mind off my feet. The burn so bad sometimes I think they are going to go up in flames and burn off. They feel like I have severe frost bite. Then, they start cramping. Sometimes, I wonder if I will ever sleep again. I have to be totally exhausted to finally sleep. So, thank you for the distraction.

[@pammytoms]

I am so sorry about your neuropathy. I have it but it's nowhere near the level you have. My heart goes out to you and you are in my prayers 🙏❤😢

[@karengoodeaux5926]

So true, my mind says I can, my body says , you wish!!!! Praying for your finger & your appointment tomorrow. ❤️🙏

[@donnarichey144]

What happened to the kid that did that to you? Was he arrested? That was terrible. Hugs for you and prayers for you.

[@MsIniquity]

Slice a piece of garlic and bandage it onto the “dying” part of your finger over night for a couple of nights in a row it will kill the infection causing the gangrene and help blood flow to the finger.

[@GrandmaLM]

And there is Miss Sassy your supervisor…..checking up on you.

[@pammytoms]

Prayers for saving your finger. You have enough going on. I love your site and especially all the chats and help with crochet problems.Thank you for allowing me to be a member of your family ❤ You are like my Mom was, loving your life no matter what and very much giving grace and joy to all who listen to you. May God bless you a hundred times over!💞💐🌹😘

[@sharonrocke1929]

Your blanket is coming along so beautifully. You're so talented and with only 4 fingers! I'm so glad that you got an immediate appointment and pray that Florence can be saved (even if it's just partially). Dear God, please heal sweet Kayla 🙏🏽

Hello Kayla I’m Up Late Night I’m Like A Baby Sleeping In The Daytime And up All Night I Love Your Blanket It’s So Beautiful I’m Working On A Granny Rectangle Blanket Purple And White For My Great Grand Baby She Is Three Months Old They Live In Texas. I Was Watching Your Video A Little While Ago And Seen How You Was Doing This Rectangle Blanket And I’m Just So Grateful For It I Will Be Sure To Be Praying For You My Friend 🙏🏾♥️🌺💚🌼💜🌸.

Prayers

[@genalyn5877]

Praying for Florence (😊) 🙏🏼 💖 I'm more of a dog person. We have a 10 year old female blue heeler. She only barks to alert us that someone or something is on our property or if she has a specific need. We always answer her because we know it means something. She would risk her life to protect us. Our cat is a 16 year old solid gray male cat. The benefit of having both our animals is we never have mice or rats. The difference between our animals is, we trained the dog and the cat trained us. I hate being around people who blame others for health issues they have no control over. Hang in there Kayla. You have a lot of youtube friends praying for you 🥰💕

[@denisejf]

Hi Kayla, so glad that you got a doctors appointment right away🙏🏻 The blanket is looking so wonderful 🤗 Talking about dogs barking. The lady across the street has a King German Shepherd and it barks all day long even if there's nothing around. It drives me crazy!🤪 she puts her out before 7am and is in and out (mostly out) until after 11pm. I can't do anything about it and she doesn't care🤷🏼‍♀️ Wishing you a wonderful blessed day 🙏🏻 God's blessings to you and Big Daddy 🙏🏻💝💛🌻💙🦆

[@suedudley8123]

Kayla, I just want to thank you for your channel -- you are my absolute favorite person to listen to as I crochet when I wake up in the morning. Loving your Sweetheart blanket as it grows, and listening to you answer your Q&A's. I started working on a project about the same time as yours, will share a pic on Facebook when I finish it. My question for your next video: Has Elijah been back home to visit since he moved? I know you and Big Daddy sure miss him! Thanks Kayla, and good luck with your duck blanket! Can't wait to see that baby blanket as it grows -- and gets the duck bill in the center! 🙂

[@lilylangman5620]

Thats wonderful about your A1C is 4 after taking all the predizone …God bless you, you have enough with out having diabetes

[@bettymunguia2136]

Sending prayers for your finger.

[@Crochet2StaySane]

Cat or dog? Both!!! Cant see my life without a dog. Our Brandee girl (pointer mix) crossed the rainbow bridge last November. We will rescue again. We have 2 cats and the youngest cant decide if she is a cat or a dog. She even growls when people come up the house. They both decide they need lovin' on my lap when im crocheting or knitting....and of cousr help with yarn pulling 😂

[@bettymunguia2136]

Hey Kayla and Big daddy ❤❤😊😊

[@enidrivera1782]

Good morning Kayla. You are so right. The mind tells you that you can do certain things but your body is quick to let you know that you can’t. I can no longer skip. I saw the skip challenge and I just couldn’t do it. I have Vasculities. That’s an autoimmune disease. I had an attack almost two years ago and had to learn how to walk again. Now I’m limited as to what I can do.

[@tammybarker2110]

Hi Miss Kayla Big Daddy fellow crocheters and watchers ❤

[@madelynmandina7495]

Thank you fir responding to my questions re: crawfish and croc's/alligators. My Grandpa and great-Uncle would go crawfishing and they have Grandma cook them., oh, delicious....miss those days so very much.

[@bhallmark3390]

It’s wonderful that you can get in to see the doctor so quickly! Your stitch & chats are so nice to crochet to. However, I’m between projects at the moment, but am trying to figure out how to make a granny rectangle blanket using only the yarn in my stash. If I do that, it will definitely be scrappy!🤣 QUESTION: have you ever been prescribed the use of a TENS unit for pain? My husband began using one about 3 weeks ago for his chronic lower back pain and he says it helps. ❤love to you and Big Daddy! -Brenda

[@rebeccaayscue3275]

Can you eat baby food? The fruit and some of the vegetables are pretty good. Every time you say I have ideas running around in my head ,I'm like yeah I want to read that book!

Praying for your Delores, and all the remaing fingers. Praying for you with dealing with everything you have going on. You are a strong woman of faith. Are your toes ok? Blanket is turning out very cheerful and pretty.Just how big do you think your blanket will turn out? This may be a repeat question, even though i watch every video all the way through i cant remember. Lol. How long did you and Jody date before you got married? God Bless!

[@dianaross3221]

Sassy is so sweet ❤! She knows you need love!!!

[@beverlyfowler1628]

Howdy, Kayla, and Jody! Have a blessed day!

[@bettymunguia2136]

That's true about appointments, they expect you to wait forever. ❤❤😊😊

[@teresab126]

You should have Big Daddy read his 37 pages to you while you crochet! 😊❤

[@addelinebell6158]

Good morning. I am a cat person. He gets me up in the mornings. Tabby and really large, not overweight. I keep him on a leash when outside and he loves to walk like a dog. My street is too busy to let him go free. My question is how did your sister pass away? Did she have similar health issues? I had 3 sisters pass and I miss them greatly. Blanket is beautiful.!!❤❤

[@frozenstone1787]

Listening 16h later.😊 Try to crochet one bunny ear at least 5x.😂😅 Thank you for the visit. Hugs and prayers for your finger.🤗🙌❣️

Had a terrible accident this afternoon. My It’s a Beautiful Day to crochet cup that sat on the table by the chair where I sit and crochet, well I backed up my computer chair and knocked over that table and the cup broke in many pieces. Thankfully the llama bowl is alright.

[@eileenallen1986]

Me too Amanda. Thankyou.

[@susanwood1445]

I know what you mean about appointments. I have severe chronic migraine that doesn't respond to conventional treatment. I'm in the UK and I have a 3 year wait to see a neurologist who may be able to treat me. Glad you have got an appointment and praying it will work. God bless you and your family.🙏

[@oldmomma56]

I am praying Florence enters a phase of rejuvenation and rebirth this Spring! I know that is hard to appreciate as you have been thru this before. Take care of yourself as much as you can until the doctor is able to see you and help.

[@pattycat923]

I am so hoping things go well at your doctors appointment 🥰😘 A cat or dog??? A cat. Just like you said-they are easy. You can leave them alone for a day, no need to go outside.

[@christinewalsh9444]

Hi kayla thank you for the video, I would love to read Jody's story I love reading if I'm not crocheting or doing another craft I'm reading a book. And hopefully you and jody will be making another video together take care have a wonderful day 😊

[@deloriskornya6725]

In the movie Magnum Force 1973, Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood) says, “A man’s got to know his limitations.” I was thinking this earlier, and then you mentioned something about knowing and acceptance of our limitations. I have a similar talk several times a week with my daughter, she has severe chronic pain and a couple autoimmune disorders. I will be in bed thinking of all I need to do and want to do, then my feet hit the floor. Oh well, shoot! Not today, you aren’t. Then I will see Harry Callahan, young handsome Clint Eastwood say that famous line. It brings a smile to my face, and often I will laugh at myself. MaMa said it often, “A woman has to know her limitations.” She was one of the hardest working women ever! Love you, Kayla. God Bless 🕊💕🕯😇🙏🏻💚 Your blanket is so pretty. Maybe it would make a sweet gift for your niece. 💖

[@dianesass9901]

I love your long videos!

[@thefarmista]

Made it to the end! 😊thanks for keeping me company today miss Kayla!

I made 4 squares and it's variated green 💚🍏❤

[@sandymello6050]

I find when I do this granny rectangle blanket when I start up in the corner I only do three double crochet and I go around the blanket.. when I come back to the corner again, I put three double crochet then chain two and then join.. makes a nice corner and you don't see that gap.. Very nice.. I LOVE you blanket!! So beautiful ❤️. I pray your finger feels better soon.. I know what you mean about the pain, my toes are like that, i feel your pain😭😢

[@pattymccallen]

About tornadoes;DO U HAVE A SAFE SPOT? Ur so right about those with out health problems but with others close to urs ( but wayyyyyy different) …. Thank you God for Kayla!

[@ksmomcrochets]

Oh I loved hearing your story of you and Big Daddy dating! It's always a pleasure hanging out with you and yes I get a cookie 😂🤗❤

[@shannonvickers145]

Dearest Kayla I hope your dr appointment went well. I have had people give advice when I have said something on one of my issues. The advice given was implying I had not done what I things I should or could have to be well,not helpful. Like you said people who have always been healthy just don’t understand how to be helpful not hurtful. About crocodiles in FL where I live in FL we have gators.. there are crocs like you said just not in my area. The gators can be amusing. One day there was a video on the news of a gator walking across the street in the cross walk with the light. This at a busy intersection of town. We have a lot of retention ponds. They are fenced in with signs saying don’t feed the gators. They also get in peoples swimming pools. Glad I don’t have a pool. I like others I find your videos relaxing. You are a very caring person. God bless you. Can’t think of a question. Brain fog. Maybe on next v ideo

[@llucky201]

Your blanket is coming along beautifully. Thank you for sharing your life with us all. I am looking forward to your next video. As for dog or cat. I vote dog. Had my little snowball for 17 years and he’s still going strong.

[@Talesoftoti]

Hi it’s the middle of the night here. This is Cynthia in Oregon. I know you have Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Like me you are not savvy with technology. However, in the world of Robotics the teams are making strides. If money was not an object would you be open to some finger helpers. You are to me, young and have a beautiful spirit. You deserve to be happy and pain free. What can be done? Robotics or even simple devices? The fingers don’t need to be metal. There is softer materials that can be used. Finding a financial donor could provide some of those needs. Hopefully, my ideas don’t offend. Hugs my friend.

[@juanitagallegos8270]

Great stories and love the blanket progress. Blessed day to you both and continued prayers. 🦜

[@kellynalley7832]

My husband has a spinal stimulator implanted in his back made by Boston Scientific. It has a charger that it is placed next to the skin like the magnetic chargers for phones. He has to charge it once a week. For the Medtronic pain pump that he will have implanted in his stomach area like Kayla’s he will have it implanted next month, his doctor says the battery lasts 5 years. My husband also has an insulin pump outside his body by Medtronic and hey are always upgrading that, so I am sure, my husband will want the upgraded version after 5 years. He upgrades all of his electronics as soon as he can! Such a techie! I am always at least three versions behind. My husband still laughs about the tv I had when we were dating, because it was so old for that year. 😂

Hi Kayla your blanket so beautiful I would adopt a dog I have 2 dogs like yours mine never go outside only when we take them to get there nails done or go to the vet they use pee pads I meet Loretta Lynn one of her twin daughter pasty’s

[@vondastrauser4428]

Hi Kayla. Another good video. I really like hearing your responses to the questions. You're right, people who don't have medical issues don't understand. I was one of those in my younger years as I couldn't understand someone taking off work for a "headache: until I started getting migraines. Then I understood. Same with body pains. Karma got me for sure. 😊 I sure hope that finger gets better. The blanket is so pretty.

I don't know what kind of tea you drink, but do you think cutting out caffeine would help you save your finger? Also, doing an exercise by making wide circles with your arms? I'm just doing searches and trying to find anything I can that might help. I'm sure you already know everything that's out there, but I so want to help you keep your finger!

[@Hotloom_Creations]

So what do they say about taking the tip of the finger when it starts this instead of waiting until the whole finger has to go? Is that not an option at all for some reason? Just wondering. Praying for you and that you don’t lose that finger 🙏🏻

[@meadowyck]

I'm still praying hard for you and that you will receive a miracle of healing. I'm sure you have tried everything but have you looked into stem cell infusion? My son's wife did this for a back issue and she feels amazing. I'm really praying that the Lord will heal it, or send the right drs to help from you. I hear ya on the prednisone, due to my RA and sinus polyps that flares my asthma up so bad, I have to go on 50 and wean down. Now I'm thinking about trying the stem cell infusion for the RA and also see if it could help my lungs. Sending well wishes for your appt tomorrow.
