PODCAST: Ep. 16 - Let’s Chat! Happy Mail & Yarn Swap!

[@karenh.]

Im SO happy you love the boxes, it's not crochet, but is IS yarn 💜 Love & Light, always 💕

[@DoubleCrochet-DIANA-]

Those little boxes were awesome, so cool😊

[@JuanTheYarnAddict]

Karen, my mom loved her box! She has it on her nightstand. Thank you for the thoughtful gift. Huge yarnie hugs from me and my mom to you! (((Hugs)))

[@karenh.]

@@JuanTheYarnAddict ... Oh, you're so welcome !! You speak about your mom in such loving tones, and so often, that I could not send you a gift without also including one for her. Give her a big big hug from me as well 💜💕

[@ruthisaac2390]

Beautiful

[@sugardiamond.]

Hi Juan, Sunday Blessings. I am so grateful for you being on KZbin . I love hearing you talking it’s just so calming and brings me so much joy. 🥰💜💜💜 .

[@ThirdStreetCreates]

I’m so proud of you learning to knit. I’m also learning this year. I hung in there and three months into it I’m making a hat (the Ross Hat) and it looks so good! Practice make progress!

[@SkeindalousCreations]

Juan, you crack me up about the pink…I’m that way about orange! I’m loving your modified Alpine stitch and plan on using that stitch in something. I wish I didn’t live in Louisiana so we could get coffee together and talk yarn! - Sandra

[@JaniceCatt-uu3hi]

Going to show my Daughter your Chanel as she is lefthand

[@JuanTheYarnAddict]

Please do! Thank you!! 🙏

[@DiamondsCraftsAndCrochet]

Love the hat and scarf, the yarns mom picked out were pretty cant wait to see what you make with them! thanks for sharing😊

[@kellyfazekas7831]

Juan, your pink yarn from mom can be used for a blanket to donate to Project Linus...just a thought.

[@dorisartman]

Such a great idea!

[@sandrapeel4667]

Really love this set you have created and it looks luxuriously comfy!!!! Enjoy wearing it 😊

[@conniehalloran5066]

I love the hat and scarf !❤❤❤

[@lisaandrus2170]

Love this! You are so polite! Very rare quality these days! Keep that pleasant personality and take care of yourself. Oh, and keep the videos rolling,please! LISA ,WV

[@Crochetjunkie80]

The dryer sheets are helpful in eliminating or masking odors during transit. A smoker taught me this and it really does clear the odors.

[@jm-sv8ub]

Great vid can’t wait to start the beanie tomorrow. Thanx Juan from a fellow male crocheter

[@DoubleCrochet-DIANA-]

Hey Juan 👋, I love the Cambridge Nights hat and scarf set. You got some pretty cool happy mail, especially those little ginger boxes so cool! Ttys 😊

[@YvonneDixon-t3u]

I think the prism yarn your mom picked out is beautiful, I'm sure you will think of a plan for it

[@brendascuccimarri8138]

Wow, what a lot of cool stuff. Those plastic canvas boxes were real pretty. Nice yarn, and in all your favorite colors

[@carolschmidt4949]

Oooooh! Pontefract cakes….they bring back sweet memories of my childhood in England… 😋yummy

[@rockinammacreations-Mary]

I’ve been quietly watching your journey and so happy for you and what you have achieved.

[@sunflowers2838]

It looks peach to me

[@pattypage6723]

Love the Cambridge Nights. Classy. I have a bunch of Warlock that I am debating on a project. Look forward to seeing what you come up with. Gotta live your Mama❤❤❤❤. Hope she shares herself with us one day. Always enjoy your videos❤

[@jennyb975]

Wow those plastic canvas ginger jars are beautiful. Happy mail indeed!

[@rebmedina2835]

Instead of charcoal, I would call it stone

[@leoniemarks4594]

Yes, to me charcoal is a very dark grey - almost black. The colour you lifted up and called charcoal I would call slate (as it's that same colour as freshly-split slate). When you start getting to the very pale greys, then you can start calling them ash or silver grey etc. What I would like to see - but don't know if it's possible - is a shade of grey that isn't slightly marled. If they can do it with all the other colours, why can't they do it with grey? To me it's too much 'school jumper' for me to use it! lol

[@PJAC1]

I found this channel thru Crystal, at BagO Day!! She is a beautiful soul, just like you Juan!! I'm fairly new to crochet, it been about a year now, and I love it!!! Thanks for being brave enough to start your channel!! I really enjoy your personality!!!

[@susanoeltjen]

Those little ginger jar boxes are adorable. Sweet of her to send them. I think of pink as a lighter shade of red. Red being my favorite color it makes it easier to use pink "sometimes". Thanks for sharing your happy mail and swap.

[@CynthiaErcanbrack-kv9qe]

Pink promotes self love and we all need that ❤ *healthy self love

[@cassiecrochetsalot]

Love the hat and scarf set, I will be making that soon. Thank you for all the time you put into us, know that you are appreciated.

[@GreatLakesGal-Diane]

I have a tendency to shy away from the variegated yarns…looking forward to seeing what you do with yours. Fiber Spider has a great tutorial called ‘granny meets virus shawl’…I’ve made a LOT of them!!! And, what fun happy mail!!!❤

[@faithcooper8935]

I found that there is a visible difference in thickness in Loin Brand anti-pilling while working on Sophie Universe.

[@KimsKloset2022]

The hat and scarf are gorgeous. How, about a pair of matching mittens, gloves or fingerless gloves to match? Enjoy your happy mail as your gifts as well as the yarn are delicious. I loved the yarn your mom bought!

[@bethtisdalestaton7250]

L💜VE Your Hat & Scarf Set Juan 💜💜💜! Thanks for sharing Your Awesome Happy Mail with all of us 💜😊!

[@lovetherain1712]

Your aversion to pink is my aversion to yellow - bleccchhh - Mimi -

[@Crochetbykirsten]

Hi friend Great video as always. I’m so pleased you liked the yarns. I will be waiting by the window everyday waiting for the post man now 😆 I can’t wait to see what you make with the yarn. And I hope you like the tea. 😊 I’m so sorry I missed the Christmas cake off the list- it’s another one from knitting network, I bought three last year ( so been in my stash for a year!) I made a gorgeous waffle stitch baby blanket with 2, there’s a pic on my instagram. And my apologies for my atrocious hand writing 😅 Best wishes from the UK Take care xx

[@donnajenkins4918]

That was fun tks

[@amysmith3030]

Thanks!

[@JuanTheYarnAddict]

Thank you! 🙏

[@BRose-nf6ep]

Oh my I absolutely love love love your hat and scarf

[@susanfuchs9092]

Like the hat and scarf you are wearing, good color on you!

[@ruthisaac2390]

Such beautiful gifts. Lovely plastic canvas.

[@loganrutledge3610]

Ooooo Saturday evening knitting with Juan, yes please!💜

[@loganrutledge3610]

Man knitter here, btw!

[@BreannaLovesCrochet]

I feel the same way you do about most shades of pink. My grandma and aunts have been disappointed for years that I *dislike* pink and prefer blues, greens and purples. Despite years of attempts to change my mind 😆

[@nancydiffee4312]

Love the hat and scarf. I'll be making them for sure. Thanks for all the great videos ❤

[@lisawhite457]

I really enjoyed seeing the different yarn thats available in the UK.

[@lauriethomas179]

That is beautiful yarn, and I know you will make great things with it. 😊❤

[@cricket36669]

Hello Juan...i feel the same way about the color pink...Spice is Beautiful!!!

[@nelliehedrick3147]

Look at you 16.6 K subscribers... Love those colors and pattern of your new set...❤❤😊

[@reneeriley6629]

Lovely Happy Mail! Fabulous idea for the yarn swap. Fun

[@carolschmidt4949]

I really LUV the hat and scarf and they are both on my to do list! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😍😍😍❤️❤️

[@manfasmakes-sam]

Hi Juan! Those ginger boxes are stunning! Great yarn swap! ❤

[@jackiebechler8823]

Love the way that stitch looks on scarf/hat set!!!!

[@RuthMitchell-n5t]

Hi Juan Please will you do a tutorial on your Cambridge Nights beany Ann uk

[@JuanTheYarnAddict]

Hi friend!! The tutorials for the beanie are complete and in my channel! Enjoy!

[@Elise788]

Juan you are a breath of fresh air, love you and your channel. Your amazing to work 3 jobs have a KZbin channel, the best thing is that you take are of your Mother. You deserve a great big hug. Love your tutorials I have learned so much. 🧶✌️🌹♥️🙂

[@ninasknotscrochet]

Hi Juan ! I really am enjoying your channel. Please next time you talk to Doris tell her we miss her channel and her sweet personality. Love the bag she sent !

[@kismymailks]

Oooo, Juan I am in love with the hat and scarf, and the name Cambridge Nights. I do not like a lot of the pink tones. About the only pink I do like is hot pink. Call that little amigurumi squishy.

[@awoodall5]

You are over 16K subs. How did that happen? I must not have been looking for day or two. I slept and your channel grew even more. Loving your channel. Can’t wait to do the Cambridge Nights hat and scarf set. Thanks, Juan.

[@sharon2764]

Beautiful stitches on the hat and scarf. So intricate looking.

[@bunnygaffney2765]

Beautiful and I love Thryiss I love Herrschners yarn its my favorite. I have totes full in every color ( the worst 8)

[@carriejcrochet]

What a fun idea to do the yarn swap! Love the way your hat and scarf turned out.

[@adelaidewilliams3764]

Beautiful 💜💜💜

[@margaretsharp2464]

I love your videos! Keep them coming!❤

[@vondastrauser4428]

Great happy mail. Very pretty yarn and nice other items.

[@elizabethvoegtle46]

Seeing this 3 days later. Gotta agree with all the things you said about treble crochet. Gonna add, a treble crochet stitch just has an elegance the double crochet doesn't have.

[@juditharrington3502]

You always receive awesome happy mail..

[@deniseheiser1633]

Omg you crack me up....Green, yep you're your mother's son. Lol. The new scarf set is awesome!

[@CynthiaErcanbrack-kv9qe]

I wanted to quote Doris earlier “all greens match”on a different video and I recognized Ella’s handiwork , reminds me of starry night

[@yvonnefonseca922]

Thanks for sharing your happy mail!!! Everything is so awesome. With the yarn your Mom got you make her a hat or a scarf because she loves green 💚😂😂😂

[@rgmartin1040]

I sent you an email earlier, but just heard on this post you are diabetic. I have been diabetic for 58 years now. So live long and carry-on! And crochet to beat the band.

[@lindaconnaire4488]

Lidl and aldi are budget supermarkets and they both.have a middle isle with varied offers that change twice a week usually sunday and thursday. They dont have yarn for sale everyday but when they do have yarn its excellent value for money and quality. Or they do here in Wales Uk xxx

[@leoniemarks4594]

It's funny - I've never seen yarn in our local Lidl (Bognor and Orpington), but Aldi have yarn several times a year. But not all Aldis sell yarn anyway, so it's very much luck of the draw.

[@cathyfillippi7330]

Juan you are adorable I can't get enough of you,I watch your videos faithfully work with pink it was meant to be love you from Canada I'm a crocheter always 💖 💗 ❤

[@GASophie]

Hi Juan! I'm a Newby sent to you by BOD and all her fur babies (I LOVE Dogs). I loved the way you explained how to know how to tell how long the scarf should be. That's the way I was taught by my Grandmother. Without the 10+ how's ;o) Loved what your Mom has done, too. I'm turning into a KZbin zombie trying to remember what my Grandma taught me, It makes her feel close to me, I LOVE the pinks BOD sent you. It was AWESOME!

[@ccadschang5747]

I love your hat and scarf ❤

[@bonniebunting6415]

I put all of my plastic canvas projects in the dishwasher and take them out before the drying cycle. They look like new. Have been cleaning them this way for years. :)

[@teresahegard3579]

Neat idea to exchange yarns with others! I enjoyed watching the yarns that you shared from your box of goodies!

[@DMBallard]

You're looking great Juan!😃💜

[@pammyers1982]

I love Stylecraft yarns. They have 100 colors in their Special DK.

[@Trish_Mordacq]

Love the new project! Love the happy mail!

[@sandrapalmer5642]

They are so pretty. I love it all.

[@nannettehuddle1314]

Love that bag you got! I love bags!!

[@faithcooper8935]

Fiber Spider has a Virus Shawl on his channel.

[@ckcox]

It's beautiful yarn! You'll make something lovely with it we're sure. 😁

[@carolhulse8465]

Pink..think breast cancer month! Create a special project with a tutorial❤❤❤

[@peggyf152]

The hat and scarf are wonderful ….. I use the Worsted 8 quite a bit and always use a J. 6.00 mm hook and it comes out nice.

[@redcanary2928]

The bag is gorgeous. I have a separate basket for my knitting.

[@jalisak]

I love your laugh ❤

[@traciperdue]

I love seeing the different yarn. That’s cool. The hat and scarf is so pretty. Hope you’re having a good evening.❤🤍💚🎄

[@cherylford8237]

Love the yarn

[@antoinettehenson951]

[@ArtJunkie]

Love the hat and scarf set. Definitely going to be making that hat. I’m a hat person and it’s 🥶 winter here in Canada 🇨🇦 lolol come on juan real men crochet with pink 😂😂😂 I’m a joker.😊 yummy yarn 🧶 I love mandala yarn for afghans. Hope you a great weekend.See you tomorrow for your live 😊 yarn swap across the pond what a great idea

[@melissakeller3628]

That was really a cool idea of doing a yarn swap. Those are some very beautiful yarns. Also it was really sweet of your mom to buy you some yarn. I forgot to tell you, you did AWESOME on the hat and scarf set that you call Cambridge Knights. I really liked the colors you choose as well.😊 Have a wonderful day.

[@aimeeforbes4433]

Beautiful hat and scarf set! The tutorial is definitely going in my crochet playlist. 🧶

[@CarolineMickelsonauthor]

LOVE the new project!

[@LadyDee150]

Oh, I love your hat and scarf set, the colors and the pattern!! Gorgeous🤩🤩

[@YARNBARF]

That hat and scarf set is beautiful, Juan! And yes, Thryss came up with a great name for it, and you look very "Collegian" or "Collegiate" wearing that set! Like Harvard, or Cambridge, very classy!

[@dorisartman]

Hi Juan 🤗great idea about the yarn swap. I miss Doris and think of her and pray for her often. I hope she and her family are doing well.

[@CreationsbyJax]

I made the thing... Whoop Whoop!!!! You got tagged lmho. Great modification on the Alpine. Doris is a total Doll!!!

[@redcanary2928]

Hi Juan. That yarn with the pink would make a beautiful baby blanket.

[@JuanTheYarnAddict]

Very true! Great idea! Thanks 🙏

[@emmacodd7922]

Oh Juan the yarn swap made me so happy as I also live in the uk and we can’t get all the yarn you and Crystal uses. if we do it’s via a 3rd party seller and too expensive! Thank you for all you do 🎉 xx Emma

[@yvonnegraham7882]

I think if you pair the prisium with a brown boarder it will look beautiful! Love the new hat and scarf, it looks great!

[@bevpowell3050]

Love the hat and scarf. Great job! Im excited to try it.

[@denischabriddell986]

Hi Juan 💜 as long as these older videos pop up in my recommendations I'm going to watch them. This video was all the things. The Cambridge nights set is beautiful. Its on the list. The happy mail 📬 was wonderful I'm so happy for you. Those mandala cakes, 🙏🏽💜🫂

[@celeneserpa7074]

Hi Juan, I just finished watching this video, and as usual, well done, my friend The beanie and scarf set is really nice. Between you and Crystal, I have so many projects on my to-do list. Anyway, have a Blessed Day.

[@richardkeep1974]

Hi Juan. You now have another subscriber from the UK!!! I LOVE your videos. You make it all sound so simple! The package from Kirsten is awesome! Some great things there. I'm in my 70's and have been knitting and crocheting for some time but have never got around to following a pattern! Hopefully soon I'll be tackling my first sweater! I just have to get organised! Lovely to " meet " you. I'm looking forward to seeing more videos. Take care 🤩
