2025 Crochet Plans! | I want your input too!

[@LilyLightOne]

A fabric liner would be great in the wicker basket so that you dont snag the wool. If you don't sew, you might be able to find a tote bag that would fit inside the basket. 😊

[@bhanani5480]

Or if you have a wide fabric scarf, you can drape this in your basket and use bulldog clips (the ones with the fold down arms) to attach to rim

[@jennyjill0523]

Love your open block blanket!!!! Here’s to 2025🎉

[@DoHeHa]

Happy New Year, Nick and Andrew. You keep yourself busy with big projects, that's nice. I always have to do some small things in-between the big things to keep my brain going. So I create bags that nobody wants, hats and beanies that nobody wears... But it's making me happy 😊

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

LOL I feel that! It's all about what makes us happy though, right?! Not them!

[@Kylie4Queen]

lol, I can relate. I usually have a 3-4 things I work on just to break up the monotony of a large/lengthy project.

[@premieryarns]

Good Luck in your final semester of school!!! Enjoyed this video. Love the Granny Ripple Pattern!!!!

[@jessicamayer5060]

I love that you get bored of looking at the same color! I do too. Love your videos, you are so talented. Please keep giving audio book recommendations. Crochet and audio book are my life! I''m going to try "This Little Life." Thanks so much!

[@slentz]

Lots of great projects for the year. Can't wait to see your progress 😊😊

[@vickicoleman2474]

Your birchbark open block stitch blanket is so nice! The nice thing about granny squares is, if they end up being different sizes-you can always set them aside for a different pattern. They are so versatile.

[@Kylie4Queen]

Looking forward to seeing your projects. My goals this year is to finish or frog my 2024 WIPs, use up at least 50% of my yarn stash, and to continue challenging myself by making different categories of items. Good luck in your last semester of school…finish strong!

[@SusanRBruce6]

The secret yarnery has a video of 10 easy blankets , they are all different takes on granny stitches, totally made me think of you! I hadn't heard of most of them, so very cool! I love the first FO you showed, great colors❤️

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

I watched that video too! Lots of fun ideas!

[@rrebelo928]

Beautiful blankets,and i really like your plastic baskets,thank you 😊

[@deborahwallace1754]

Absolutely beautiful! Love the colors

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Thanks!!

[@nerfatari4289]

Hi Nick, I love the way you have a plan for your makes this year, i sort of have a plan. I'm going to knit myself a jumper, make a few baby blankets for friends, i want to try the open block stitch, your blanket looks lovely. I have a big blanket to finish but i hate joining all the squares together lol. In between I'm going to make a lot of small things, coasters, hats, bags, shawls etc and December 2025 in going to have a stall at a market and sell them all cheapish to make money for Xmas and birthdays. That's my plan, we'll see if it happens. I'm happy to watch whatever you want to make or show i get ideas from everything. Hope this year is a great year for you and Andrew.

[@barbarajohnson1572]

YES to the Granny Ripple!

[@StefTX]

I’m excited to see you finish some of these projects as I think they will turn out fantastic. My recommendation for the wicker basket would be to just make a fabric lining to protect your crochet. You might not even really have to sew it just kind of arrange it in there andmaybe glue it around the top or something.

[@kathywelch8722]

You have some amazing ideas for blankets this year. I like the different colors for each blanket that you are making. The granny ripple stitch looks good. I’m putting that on my to do list this year. Thank you for sharing all of your ideas for this year and giving us inspiration for are own projects. 🧶💜🙏🏻

[@Jammn126]

Hi Nick, you have lots of projects on your list. All pretty cool! I’m working on the Granny Goes Random stitch along with Mikey from the Crochet crowd with the redheart bitty stripes yarn. I have several blankets started and my resolution was to finish all my WIPS and I’ve already started 2 more…..sheesh. Sooo….hear I go again. I’m trying not to buy yarn, but I keep seeing new yarns I want to try. I love how you have put your colors together with your projects. Thanks for all you do! ❤🧶. Oh, I forgot…I started a Balaclava for my neighbor as well.😅

[@susanh2610]

I love all of your ideas for the coming year! I especially like the granny ripple and the waffle stitch. I love the rainbow yarn too. For the IKEA wicker basket you might want to sew a fabric liner for it. The fabric would be smooth and not catch on the yarn. I’m still catching up on everything I didn’t get done from this past year. I have new ideas but I kind of feel guilty buying more yarn when I have so much yarn waiting in my stash. Enjoy the rest of your time off before school starts back up.

[@Jammn126]

Same here!

[@dianawinton1330]

I love the Caron “fruity pebbles “ yarn! Very beautiful! ❤

[@deborahsteele4349]

THATS WHAT I STARTED ON 62 years ago and although I've done millions of other crochet projects it's still my favorite stitch. YOU have fun plea se keep your love and fun videos coming . Thanks always .

[@lyndasadlier3274]

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Oh thanks so much! You're very welcome here!

[@bridgetloosen1188]

Gorgeous, gorgeous crochet blankets. Love Andrew’s blanket Love the rainbow granny squares to. Your temperature blanket is also beautiful. I bought a cool basket like yours at Hobby Lobby. I love it.❤ I love these open block and cover to cover blankets. You do beautiful work. I love the birch one to. Those Caron cakes are so gorgeous. ❤Love the ripple blanket. That is going to be gorgeous. ❤😊 I love that Caron cake. I saw a girl on utube make a gorgeous cardigan out of that yarn. It was so beautiful. Love your videos love your chatting love all of it. Hope all goes well going back to school. I love granny squares. Love your channel.❤️❤️😀😀

[@deborahnorwood6950]

Hi…I’m new to your channel. I’ve subscribed…and so far, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE everything I’ve seen! I found you on Jan 1 when you revealed your Temperature Blanket, for last year. I’m just starting my very first one for this year, in Loops and Threads Heathered Tweeds. I’m doing a row a day. I’m a big follower of Juan the Yarn Addict, but I think I’ll be a big follower here, too. I also have that box of granny square patterns…and I might make those along with you…what a great idea. Your afghans are gorgeous. Oh…my name is Debby…I’ve been crocheting for 63 years, since my grandmother taught me when I was 5… but I had to take a big, many years long break after I had 13 surgeries on my hands. I recently started up again and have been happily learning new stitches. I just have to take it slower…and rest my hands often. Anyway…I love your work and I look forward to seeing more!

[@suzibaker1749]

Wow, you sure have a lot of projects for the year. Love the granny squares and the granny ripple. Like you, I have two temperature blankets for 2025. I always make one for me with temps for Liverpool and one for my daughter with temps for St. Louis. This year I am using the same colours for both blankets so I think it will be interesting to see how different the colours will fall.

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

That sounds so fun! Good luck on the projects Suzi - I want to see the progress!

[@Ryan-Hexx-RN]

I’m glad you. Loved the yarn ☺️. And the blanket came out perfect 👍❤️❤️

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Thank you friend!

[@chubbybatcrochet]

Your blankets are gorgeous! Just found your channel and I’m already hooked❤

[@deborahm4484]

Hi nick my goodness your very talented I love your enthusiasm.i love all the colours especially the granny ripple.looks fantastic.i am an older viewer 76 this year crocheted all my life and love to see young people doing the craft.thank you so much for sharing.i love the socks too.good luck with everything.💙💙

[@altheavictorine6531]

Good luck through your last semester. I taught my self to crochet about 38 years ago using these graphs. They are super easy to read

[@joyceoakes4084]

Your open block blanket is gorgeous ❤

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Thank you!

[@DylanJCat]

When you make the corner to corner with five ,when you get to the end do you still do three stitches in the five chains or three. Do you start in the second or third chain when ending the row. Five sounds better to make it tighter.hate that I still can’t get the anniversary yarn. Haven’t been able to get any colors here, even changing colors and stores, no one has had them, even checking early in the a.m., so frustrating.

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Where do you live? It sells out quickly, but if I can help you acquire some next year, I'll do what I can! For my open block stitch, I chain five, skip two, and double crochet into each of the next three chains. Rinse and repeat!

[@teresarichardson601]

Love your blankets! One of my favorite patterns for blankets is doing the granny cluster stitch in C2C style.

[@sparklesandmeow7239]

Super excited to see your new temperature blankets! Caron simply soft is my favorite for my knit hats. Looking forward to all the fun crochet project’s. This may be the year I learn to crochet!! ❤😂❤

[@destinpate3137]

Happy new year!! I love watching your hauls and your vlogs. I also love when you check in with what you've reccently made! I can't wait for them to restock the Caron anniversary cakes because I need to make that C2C blanket...

[@melhalliday]

I really like the crochet socks. They look so cozy. The Caron Anniversary Cakes are a wonder to see, and I think it would be great as a blanket.

[@Fenger53]

Hi Nick I think your plans for 2025 are great and will certainly be watching you ! Kind regards Ilona from the UK

[@jevery2498]

I love the ideas you have for your temp blanket the year. And I really love that you're doing a granny ripple! Looks good. Measure that swatch... looks wider than 2 feet to me? Oh and I dig your crochet house socks. I may need to give those a go... I'm a knitter AND a crocheter. Haven't picked up a hook in a while tho. Have you ever thought about knitting?

[@BMad-we6qf]

I completed my 2024 temperature blanket yesterday and am 14 blocks into my 2025. I was also looking for another project and decided to memorize my 2020 reading list with a book log granny square blanket. I am doing 4 rounds and pulling the colors from the book covers. These whip up pretty quickly and because I have the entire list I can go as quickly or as slowly as I want. I love the 'fruity pebbles' blocks. They will look stunning with black.

[@barbarajohnson1572]

Never saw this before... LOVE it and your Colorway!

[@theyarnpharm-JillFountain]

Great job on your projects and some good planning for the year ahead. I love to listen to audiobooks as I crochet as well. Maybe we need a book club LOL. I also understand about projects getting "stale" after a while. I tend to get bored with the same yarn/stitches. Have a great 2025!

[@DOMINIKPAULSEN]

That's my problem I would love to make big projects but I get bored and put them aside and never return to it, then when I find them I just frogged and do something else with the yarn. I wish I could find A PROJECT that would keep me motivated to finish one. For now I'll keep doing smaller stuff. Hope you have a great day!

[@janetdalby6076]

I love the chat and chill video!

[@beverleyhalfpenny8388]

Hi Nick, greetings to you and Andrew from the UK. Great video once again. Love your choice of colourful yarns for your makes this year. It will be a good contrast from the yarns you used last year. Some great ideas you have chosen to do, and will be looking forward to seeing them come to life. Wish you the very best in your final term to be a NP, am sure you will smash it and get to where you want to be. Such dedication to a profession the world is crying out for right now, you are much admired for it. Love and best wishes to you both ❤

[@kellyadamson8083]

Your open block blanket looks good. The granny ripple looks good too. I watch Creative Gandra also. I like when they do the swatches. You can see what the yarn looks like. Good luck with your last semester of school. I have been thinking about trying a c2c blanket but I only use variegated yarns. Not sure how it would look. Thanks for the video.

[@ericacarattini1916]

Hi Nick, I just want to say, bring it all to us, I'll be waiting😊!!! While you talk, I crochet ,it gives me motivation and inspiration! Lots of love going your way 🩷🦋🩷!!!

[@joannezednik2445]

I love the Caron anniversary cake. I love the color you cchose.❤

[@barbie62bj]

Hi Nick, love that corner to corner blanket, never heard of an open stitch, love the colours. You are so talented. ❤️🇨🇦

[@WeeGrannieNZ]

You’ve got me hooked on the C2C Open Block stitch! Hooked by Robin was my go to for the tuition 👍. I’m making mats for under my plants, cushion covers and a blanket for myself. Greeting from NZ 😎

[@georgiecelli6462]

Beautiful blanket

[@debbieward-crochet]

I love the array of projects on your desk! 😊

[@sunnystitcher5400]

I'd almost do a lemon peel blanket with 2 of the rainbow cakes, and then border it with the 3rd in like a DC border. But I am addicted to the texture the lemon peel stitch gives.

[@debbiecarroll5672]

Nick, have you seen the Red Heart Bittsy Stripe yarn? It's a fun yarn..shorter stripes..I grabbed the Crayon Box color and a few of the others..Joann's has a yarn sale till 1/15..I grabbed re-spun for $6.00!

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Looking into it this week!!!

[@rociovila3971]

Wau, que lindo, siempre adelante 👏👍💐🍀🍀🍀

[@rachelfreed7496]

I keep projects in baskets and that's what I did. I made a crocheted liner in them

[@WendyHAROLD-h6n]

Thanks

[@Wild.Bunny.Galaxy]

My current project baskets, because there are two of them, are one of those cotton rope baskets and one of those mesh foldable clothes hampers in white. There’s a certain set of rope baskets on Amazon that have tops and I’m currently using a pastel purple one for my crochet projects, but I have a black one, a pastel pink one and a pastel cyan one that are used for other things around the house. Sea Team Round Cotton Rope Storage Basket with Lid, i’ve had quite a few of these kind of baskets over the years and these are the best quality ones I’ve ever gotten.

[@kaymastclinic2171]

Types of videos I enjoy re crocheting definitely vlogs, chatty, project updates (2025 projects) tutorials sometimes. Not a big fan of yarn hauls, instead similar to what you did in this video where you showed the yarn you were using and reviewing as you go your opinion Hope this helps 🎉

[@sydneyholcomb8210]

I love watching hing you . I am like you everything I make usually is LARGE.. BUT THATS OK Enjoy you new year . Keep it upwithe the great videos

[@CACreativeLoops]

Michael’s has a similar yarn that has more jewel toned rainbow colors with the same short bursts of color. It’s their Loops & Threads Soft and Shiny Ombré in the color Party. I love using it to add rainbow colors to amigurumi patterns.

[@debbiecarroll5672]

Hi Nick good to see you..

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Hi Debbie!

[@janecornell4890]

That's the yarn I'm using for my daughter's blanket, birch wood. Why is mine taking forever? I like yours. I did double v stitch. I didn't want it too open. She's not the lacy type! I am hoping I can get by with three skeins. I made it too big I'm afraid! Beautiful choices of yarn for your temperature blanket! Oooo I got that box of cards too! Nice! Black border for the fruity pebbles....yes!!! That waffle stitch looks awesome! Don't pull it out. It will be warm like that! You must like the anniversary cake. Personally I don't like it. I found it splitty. Oooo I like the granny ripple! Where is the pattern or are you making it up? I like your plans but I bet you don't need the whole year for it except the temperature blankets! I like when you share your finds....you know how much I love the "bubble board" I use it to count rows! I like to see your blanket ideas.....I'm a little over five foot so when I see how big your blankets are I'm "wowed"! Love ya!

[@carolkamaile1967]

Would like to see the V stitch in the big Caron cake.

[@nikki-b]

I got the same anniversary cake! Made a huge tote bag and I’m kind of terrified by how much is left from the single cake. I plan to make a bucket hat and maybe a pillow. You could probably make a blanket and a full outfit from three 😂

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Trust me I know! I purchased eight of those massive cakes this year! They're a a beast, every one of them!

[@donnaritchie6186]

You should check out the happily stained blanket

[@Mikeyvakz]

You’re welcome, and I’m not sorry about it 🤣🤣

[@JeanMartin-lw5ft]

Hi Nick, I do like the granny ripple and think you should 6 ft if you can because then you won't have any left over. I don't know why but I don't like the ripple afghans...I think because I'm old and have seen them forever. But saying that I do like the effect of the yarn you are using for this. Have a great rest of your week!

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Thanks for the feedback! I think I'm probably going to do it just to use up this yarn, but I'm VERY worried I'll make a plan and then run out of yarn without being able to buy more. Having said that, I think I have enough! Get it done and move on to the next!!

[@aidakhatibi7141]

Is nice colors to do all projects are cool to❤

[@andreasoriginals]

Love those plastic rectangle baskets! Where are they from?

[@bxgal347]

lol yup I’m making my sister who lives in haw, well one of my sisters a shrug in light rose and the C2c strut h and omgoodness!!! Yes solid colors are boring!! I’m almost finished with her shrug I did 56 sts across!! I’ll b excited when it’s out of my hands lmao😊

[@jenbrandt705]

I noticed the pink solid Granny looks a little “swirl”. Like it pulls. Did you turn your work for each round? A friend helped me with the same problem. 😉

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

I ALWAYS turn with each round, but for these squares I'm following the pattern exactly, which does not tell me to turn each round. I'm not happy about it but I'm trying to be a purist and follow direction (I'm not very good at that!!)!

[@bxgal347]

Georgia, now haw😂😂😂😂

[@lindablack4572]

Please tell me where you got your plant stands with the lights. I need them. Thank you.

[@JD-zt3nr]

I'm using the Caron simply soft ombre in "saturday blue jeans" color, which i love love love, but i HATE the yarn itself as it constantly splits!! It's so impossible to work with! I'd just throw the whole project in the trash, if I wasn't so far along. Once i finish this, the rest of the yarn is going in the trash and i will never buy the yarn again. Am very interested to hear if you had the same results with the paints version. Thanks!

[@MountainKnitter]

Very nice work. Turn your work around so we can see the front please.

[@Janis342]

What do you do with all your finished projects.

[@marilynking621]

With the Granny square cards, don’t you have the booklet, which has the written patterns in the box?

[@AmieDeLalla]

My only critique is only my left ear heard this. Otherwise great video and nice work!

[@AnaNicole1225]

Where did you ordered that Caron Simply Soft Yarn from❓️❓️❓️ Crystal at #bagodaycrochet has a new #crochetscarf that has multiple #crochetstitches that I would L♥️VE to use that specific yarn. Thanks...✨️♥️ ❣️ ♥️✨️

[@SusanRBruce6]

Also, switch out the wicker basket! It'll ruin all your hard work ( speaking from experience 😢)

[@URBANFARMBOYS]

Yeahhhhh I love that I was like "look at my pretty basket, y'all" and then it turned into "Well this is a problem."

[@danielleoppen1992]

Try a Crochet Star Blanket. 🎉❤ I've been working on on for about a week and it's not boring. Bag-o-Day has a great tutorial on it.😊

[@magbeth90]

by the way, the audio is only in the left ear on this video - when you're editing, you should be able to duplicate the audio source for left and right so that its not uneven :)

[@kaymastclinic2171]

This video was suggested by YT. 😂 I clicked to watch *Farm Boys *Crochet. I love crochet and I lived and worked on farms when I was a child. Many hours spent crocheting as a teen and adult at the farm. Anyways I watched your video. To answer your questions first really love the open C2C you just completed the colourway is gorgeous. I just bought the granny square deck after following Tami@craftymompreneur. Highly recommend you check out her videos for the card deck. ‘Granny square Sunday’ yes there are several squares that end up being different squares and a tip if you are going to use them in same project at the end to keep the colours similar. I’m doing my first temperature blanket this year but with a completely different twist. Great ideas to make smaller squares for your new one this year. I love the socks you made. A tip for your wicker basket a small table to put in the basket should stop any snares. I agree with your project for Andrew being a challenge. I listen to Podcasts and/or KZbin channels while I crochet. Lastly blocking the different square sizes you mentioned stretching the smaller ones, I agree and I would definitely also block the larger ones to the same size. Blocked squares are so much neater and give wow. Lastly you are taking on a lot of projects which is going to take time and discipline…I’m sure you have a good action plan 😅 I’m going to stick around and subscribe ❤

[@kaymastclinic2171]

Wicker basket comment should of said small tablecloth not table 😂

[@Fenger53]

Hi Nick I think your plans for 2025 are great and will certainly be watching you ! Kind regards Ilona from the UK
