Crochet Podcast Episode 24

[@cottagekeeper1044]

I’m so excited to see the Lionhead finished! You’re doing a great job! I think it’s wonderful that you support local women. You are so right about driving I teach my children to be safe never trust a driver.❤️ I look forward to your show every week and so appreciate you🌸

[@robertapearson3507]

Goooood morning - it is 4am in my part of the world 😀 Nice to see you . The lion is looking wonderful. Can’t wait to see the finished work. 👵🏻💕🐾

[@crystalfelts6682]

Oh goodness, I absolutely love the May giveaway bag and colors. I really want every giveaway that you do, but there is something about the May that I really love!!!!! 😘💜 I am going to have to say an extra prayer everyday between now and when the May giveaway ends..🙏 I love to watch all of your videos, I was watching the opening of your Amazon order and showing my mom how excited your kids was getting over watching you go through everything, and she fell in love the boho cardi that you were wearing, so now that is what I am trying to make for her. I would love to visit Kenya and crochet with you, The crochet holiday or safari sounds wonderful... I am crossing my fingers!!🙋

[@KazAussieYarnaholic]

Hi Christa. Am loving your Kenyan travels, so thank you for sharing with us! I'm learning so much about Kenya, I didn't realise that it is so green. Love your lion's head and boho cardi. Keep up the great work!☺🇦🇺❤❤

[@suzannemcelwee206]

Love that bracelet! Will finish my Boho cardi tonight and my Erigeneia shawl tomorrow. So excited to start something new on Friday. I am married for 40 years, have 4 children, 3 girls and a boy, 5 grandchildren, 2 great grandsons. I have 2 dogs, a Chiweenie, she is 7. My other is a Pomeranian/Rat Terrier mix, he is 12 now. We live in Joelton Tennessee with our son and daughter-in-law.

[@masuganut2082]

Anything to do with Kenya would be lovely. Can’t do a trip but I love it when you show us around and explain things and I love the bracelets and how you coordinated it with the yarn!!! Thank you again Christa

[@MiMi-ox8nz]

Love your podcasts, and I love going shopping with you. Sooo much fun. Thank You Christa, for all that you share with us.🤗

[@gillianroberts4501]

You are the best. Love 💕 your videos. You live in a beautiful place. X

[@brendacraig9043]

Really love going shopping with you LoL it's like a little tour of the country bless you and yours

[@denisecontreras6531]

Yes a vacation. I have been so busy this week I have not crocheted much. Hopefully I will be able to make up for it next week and finish the cal. Love all that you do.

[@lindacrochetandmore9470]

Thank you for filming so we can see Kenya it s a pretty place

[@ginkobels4087]

Hello Christa, My name is Izabel, I am Brazilian lived in France for one year and moved to Belgium almost 10 years ago. I learned crochet when I was 7 or 8 years old, with a granny neighbour. I learned only the basics and tried a few things over the years, but never really achieved much in terms of good results or products. A couple of months ago I re-discovered crochet as some sort of coping strategy/therapy to find some work-life balance and I am totally addicted to it :) I was looking for information around crochet hooks, there are so many different prices and materials nowadays! That's how I came across your review and discovered the secret yarnery. It is a great initiative, plus very helpful and insightful. Thanks for sharing your experience and ideas. I actually love the crochet/safari week idea!

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh HI Izabel! Thank you so much for introducing yourself! And how fabulous you found us from a crochet hook review! That is amazing. :D Big hugs to you! xx!

[@ilovespyro1]

I am loving that sweet pup's snores. He's cracking me up

[@doriskipp3736]

You are so awesome...your giveaways and your videos are amazing thank you for all you do.

[@cosettalaws7812]

Yes! Would love Crochet holiday!😁

[@kimwheeler8414]

Those row counters are genious, do you know how many times I've counted and recounted rows making amigurumis grrrrr, that lion head is going to be impressive, I'm sorry your house man is retiring leaving you sad, wish I could cheer u up. Those kazuri beads are so pretty the ones with the deep blue beads were so gorgeous. Hope you have a better week and can't wait to see your lion head done. The crjo must be in the air I don't think I crocheted 3 days this week. Love from Ohio xx!

[@spare_room_studio]

Hi Christa! That bracelet is so pretty, it reminds me of skittles! You put together some lovely gifts that co-ordinate fabulously 😊 best wishes from Australia!

[@robinzipp1306]

Yarn holiday sounds amazing it’d be fun.

[@rosereedplans2521]

I would love a crochet holiday... that would be amazing

[@christinnascreations9072]

Hi Christa great video and the restocked yarn behind you fabulous! Luv yah 💕

[@lanajantz2240]

Woohoo! Awesome, I want visit Kena!

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh - you should! it's wonderful here! xx!

[@bconsilio3764]

I recently moved to a house with quite a lot of yard. So I am also going to try my hand at gardening. I have 4 siblings and lots of nieces and nephews and great niece and nephews. I’m a good auntie. We go lots of places, play many games and do all kinds of art projects! So for my thoughts/projects on/in crochet- I’ve made some hats, dishcloths and am teaching a friend. I have mad purses, rugs, etc. in the past. I think I told you what I wanted to do, but here it is again- a scrap blanket like yours, temperature blanket, mandalas, granny squares, baskets, lacey summer sweater, amigurimi (sp?) and some pearl cotton motifs, flowers butterflies and doilies. Plus I have a crate of wips! Last ly I wasn’t to share that I learned to knit from a neighbor, mrs Greenberg, who was a holocaust survivor when I was 10. The desire to crochet came from my great aunt Mary who I adored. Her hair was pure white, she was always crocheting doilies and she hugged you and kissed and always had good homemade Italian cookies and she would say ‘Mange! Mange!” She only spoke Italian so I only understood the one word she said. I loved and admired her so, I tracked down some of her doilies and rolled them into clay and made bowls, calling them ‘Aunt Mary’s Pots’. I’ve been a potter for over 25 years. Well Christa that’s probably more than you wanted to know. I love your podcasts and would love to come to Kenya for a crochet retreat!! Hugs and kisses, bernadette

[@SecretYarnery]

FABULOUS! I'm a "retired" potter as well! xx xx xx!!

[@juliejredmart]

Hi friend, that May giveaway looks amazing! Loved the snoring in the background! :) A stitch counter - so cool. Didn't know there was such a thing! Thanks for making me smile :) , julie

[@redgingerbreadpam]

I just LOVE your videos. Kenya is such a beautiful place. Love learning all about it along with the crochet goodness. Your lion head is coming along beautifully. Hope you have a great day from the state of Arkansas(USA) today.

[@bconsilio3764]

Hi Christa! This is bernadette! I am going to do my intro now. I live in Des Moines Iowa. I grew up in Cleveland Ohio. After college I moved many times- Dayton Ohio, Chicago (my happy place), San Antonio Texas, Houston Texas (great because I got to get to know my aunt Martha who I only met 3x before moving there) Albuquerque NM (best weather place and most beautiful!) and now Des Moines (ok for now; rather be in Texas or Chicago). I moved looking for the better job. I am a certified orientation and mobility specialist with a teaching license. I taught visually impaired /blind students to get from place to place in school, home neighborhood, residential, business areas and downtown area. Very fun and taught one on one! Unfortunately I retired early because with all the regulations and requirements that had nothing to do with teaching students was all too stressful and I felt I was not teaching what my students needed but so I would have documented progress reports and data. So I am free to pick up crochet and other endevors! I live with my 2 puppy dogs! Max, miniature schnauzer, and Cutie Pie, rat terrier. I rescued both. Max from a shelter when he was11/2-2 years old in November 2012. Cutie from where she lived in a rural area. She had been hit by a car. I saw poor Cutie stand up on her front paws walk to grass with her buttocks high in the air and her back legs dangling to try to relieve herself. After sometime of negotiationgot her in the car and whisked her off to the vet!! She was very sick and would have died in days if I hadn’t rescued her! After 2 month s of recuperation from surgery and mega doses of meds she took off like a rocket when I let her off lease! She’s my clown, devious one, smarty pants, and girly!

[@JuliaStefansdotter]

A little hello from Sweden. Thak you for your tutorials and podcast. I'm new to your channel and had seen all podcast and some of the tutorials. I love everything I've seen so far, thank you!

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi Julia! So glad you found us! Thank you so much! xx!

[@lisaroo6103]

Oh the Kazuri shop is amazing 😍

[@katibere1966]

Your sweater looks great!!!🧶🧶🧶😊

[@RaquelLopeztagsbytika]

Yay!!! Loving the lion. I ordered the book yesterday!!! I am so excited!! My poor cardi hasn't been touched on days...trying to finish a commissioned afghan. Mays color scheme is awesome. So happy and bright!!! What is the crime rate like? I would assume with all that security it would be very low. I would be first in line for a crochet holiday to Kenya!!! Not only for Kenya but to meet and crochet with you. I would go broke in Kazuri beads lol I was drooling the whole time.

[@HicketyPicketySonjaSandell]

Thank you for sharing...you are always a joy to watch!

[@kellic22]

I’m the same way Christa when it comes to my two languages. I know Portuguese and understand it more than I speak it. I can get by with speaking it if I need to when I go visit family in Portugal.

[@tinabrenning7233]

I would love a crochet holiday in Kenya! That would be so much fun!

[@SecretYarnery]

Cool Tina! Me too!! xx!

[@connieholden5786]

Hi Christa!! Great podcast!! I cannot wait for the finished Lion head - it is going to be spectacular!! I love using my stitch counter. I thought that it would get in the way but I put it on my index finger (right hand) and it works great! I think my bank account would be in trouble in the Kazuri store - such beautiful items!! Have a great day!!

[@EvieBear236]

Fun Q & A. Kenya sounds like a great place to live. A crochet get-away would be great but not sure I could afford it. I can't even get to the yarn shop 65 miles away more than once a year (sigh). Thanks for the shopping tour.

[@chrisdarry-roseelrod4481]

A trip to Kenya would be so much fun.

[@1tbaccus]

I as always love your video's. I do wish i could visit your Kenya, but for me not possible. But i can dream. LOL. I love the jewelry store. I love the pinks and turquoise in the bracelet you choose. My favorite colors I also love purple. Maybe i just like brite colors. I'm sorry your feeling down today with your friend and house man retiring. Maybe whomever takes his place will be just as wonderful as he was. I'm also glad your son is getting better. Well i have to go before Well just have to go see you next time

[@osoredful]

Wow what a beautiful store! Thank you for sharing

[@rachelbencsics7297]

Oh my...A holiday there would be great. Love your podcasts. I look forward to all your videos and I am always on edge waiting for more. Lol Love it!!

[@SecretYarnery]

Awe! Thanks Rachel! xx!

[@dawnkunar2994]

Hi Christa! Dawn here, from Ohio. Love your podcasts & tutorials. 💖 By the way i have a English Mastiff 175 lbs..he snores too! Its like a freight train running through. Lol! 😆

[@nightowlnight]

I love this video. I am ready to move to Kenya. it sounds fabulous. The idea of a safari crochet is great. There is a crochet cruise but going to Kenya sounds way more fun. That would be great to do every year. I am going to do some price checking.

[@sweetpeasouthernhome]

Oh I love those giraffe mugs at the jewelry shop! Just want to thank you again for showing us all about Kenya. It's so beautiful. I finished the Ergenia shawl and wore it the other day. Got so many compliments on it! I guess I should say my name is Christy and i live in Louisiana lol. Looking forward to the next video :)

[@sayyadahmariamfatemah1134]

Nice

[@jabariulises3404]

instablaster.

[@1crochet]

Another wonderful podcast, so interesting and unique, you are a lucky girl to live in such a lovely country. Looking forward to more of the same:)

[@robinmorales6274]

i like the bag you made to carry stuff in

[@lisabradley4331]

Hello Christa, so sorry to hear about your houseman retiring and best of luck finding a new one. I'm sure it must be difficult after all these years of having him around. Loving the lion head so far , can't wait to see the finished object. Hopefully your little one is all better now and back to his normal self. It would be amazing to come to Kenya and have a crochet getaway... Sounds wonderful. And so loving the May giveaway beautiful bright colors and that basket is fantastic. Take care and thank you for being so inspiring.

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi Lisa! Late reply, but hope you are well! xx!

[@lgassin]

Thanks for sharing your interesting life! Your cardigan looks great :)

[@pennymiles1039]

It's so exciting when I wake up and see you have a new podcast. The dog snoring was hilarious. Forgive me if I have the title wrong, but I believe you said your houseman is retiring. Curious what kind of help he provides for you? Will you find someone else? If so, how difficult is that? I would love to go there for holiday, but not in my budget. I will look forward to the videos of the lucky folks and you when it happens. Luved the bracelet shopping. Thanks again for the fun video.

[@kavitashah2924]

Macmillan Library in town was pretty great 💗💗💗

[@kavitashah2924]

And yes for the library 😁

[@lisapena8602]

I enjoy hearing about Kenya , it is so beautiful there. I am also excited to see your lion head. Take care and thank you for sharing.

[@kelilee9629]

Oooo yes, that would be so fun to visit, crochet and vacation all in one in Kenya! I would love to know what that would cost once you know please; I'm very interested!

[@Cuckoo4DiamondPainting]

I'd be in for a crochet safari 😀

[@stitchitch7010]

Love learning about kenya❣

[@eilenetubbs7030]

Helllo Krista, Been watching for sometime now. Love, love your videos. I would love to have my own yarnery. Wishing. you were so much closer. Would love that braclet in purple tones. God bless.

[@SecretYarnery]

Thank Eilene! I'll keep my eye out for a purple bracelet. 😘😘

[@mousy3873]

I love seeing your projects and all of the different places in Kenya. It's great being able to see the nice daily life of someone living in a different country instead of impersonal stories in textbooks or encyclopedias. You mentioned in the end clip that you were planning on going to the butcher afterwards, is that still a common business there? I wish we had them more here in the US. It was neat to learn that pedestrians don't have the right of way because it makes a LOT more sense to me. I grew up in the country and like most people who were I was taught to be cautious of cars on the road by never getting near them. After going to college in the city I'm still flabbergasted by the amount of people who do not care about cars and just jump right out in front of them. I think Kenya is doing something right by having that motor law.

[@cherylclark8019]

Oh my! It crochet Safari sounds fabulous! :-) Crystal you're just the best. Can't wait for May's giveaway and the CAL!

[@janellecruz5417]

Oh my gosh, your dog!! ROFLMBO 😂😂😂 😴😴😴 I honestly really look forward to your podcasts! 💜💜💜 I can't even think of a question for you!

[@GreatLakesGal-Diane]

If you plan any future crochet holidays, I’d certainly be interested!!!🌞

[@SecretYarnery]

That's awesome, Diane Conley! Thank you!! 🌸👍🌺

[@deborahhamsho4799]

A trip to Kenya........yes!

[@EvieO1950]

Yay!! I'm all caught up all your podcasts and have really enjoyed them all - the crochet part and the Kenya info both. But you are a terrible influence...................I put the YarnIt you talked about in one of your podcasts in my Amazon cart and I bought it!! (Using your link). I spend a lot of time in the truck when we go on long trips pulling our 5th wheel trailer around the country seeing the USA and it seemed like it would be perfect for keeping my yarn safe and easy to use! Love Ya!!

[@TheZencha]

Hi Christa :) That new Boho square cardi picks up nicely your eye color :) Q&A is very interesting, as you live in a place most of us find exotic and strange... Crochet holidays sounds good :) Hugs, Ada :)

[@sandraschwientek4962]

This is Sandra from Tassie again, we have security in our shopping centres and hospitals etc.thats why we dont have school shootings plus we have strict gun laws.in Australia.

[@aprilmcarthur4250]

In my dreams. Could never imagine a trip to Africa.

[@mellodym5931]

I would be very interested in the Kenya trip package information! :)

[@kimwheeler8414]

Oh I'd love nothing more than to come to Kenya for a crochet vacation but having 4 grandkids idk if I could escape or not it would be heaven on earth tho could sure use the break

[@melodyramirez8350]

That sounds fun

[@deetmartin9985]

I love your visits!! What does your hubby do?

[@karenforte5674]

Have you ever read the Alexander McCall Smith series The Ladies No 1 Detective Agency? It takes place in Botswana. HBO ran the series. The author talks about the country and the wonderful people. It's fun to read.

[@laurafall7846]

I love your videos! I have a question about the food there...do you eat/buy/cook local/country foods? Do you eat and or make American food? Talk to us about the foods! Blessings my friend!

[@maried4069]

I had a teacher whose son and wife moved to Kenya many years ago, they loved it there. I have since lost contact with them, so I am unsure if they still live there. That was over 30 years ago, maybe 40. It looks like a beautiful place to live or even visit. I live in the USA and get excited when I see a red fox in the wild, as I did this early morning. They are rare to see but I live in the country, not in a town so my chances are better. What are some of the unique kinds of animals that live there? Love your videos! Thank you.

[@kimwheeler8414]

Hay christa just saw this on youtube, knowing your doing your lion head just incase you could use it.....boy & bunting here on youtube pattern help shaping the animal heads. It's the same animal heads your doing. Made me think of you xx!

[@SecretYarnery]

Don't JOKE! I have watched it twice! God send.

[@skogbergcreations3731]

Love your videos you are the best

[@kellycarter2497]

Hi Christa. Working on the border of the baby blanket while catching up on your videos. Did you ever organize the Kenyan holidays/get togethers? Sounds like a lot of fun!

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, Kelly Carter!! I doubt it. LOL ssshhh.... Thank you! 🌻🌺🌼

[@kerrynwright]

Great to hear plastic bags are banned in Kenya! South Australia banned them a few years ago..... sooooo much healthier for our environment. Glad to hear no shootings where you are. Phew! We're relatively safe here too, especially as there are lots of gun laws here..... thankfully. Love the beac bracelets!! Blessings. Kerryn

[@kerrynwright]

BEAD not beac!!

[@SecretYarnery]

That's awesome, Kerryn Wright! Thanks for sharing!! xx

[@lynnwinter94]

Omg that lion head is huge lol. Oh I wud be bankrupt if that bracelet shop was near me 🤣🤣🤣 . Great podcast Christa x

[@lynnwinter94]

Amanda H Hi Amanda, oh I sure have, hasn't it been lovely. Have u had a good day x

[@eileenricker1140]

Hi Christa love your podcast;) Your frenchy sounds like my daughters when he sleeps too😊

[@aletasneed3832]

Love the boho Cardi,.........I Just love the giveaway May could be my lucky month to win ....Hope you Are able to replace Your Man....Have a great day

[@hayley1026]

Your story about the driving in Canada with that lady was actually hilarious. I love all of the things that you mentioned about Nairobi like no guns and no plastic bags, just casually waiting for Indiana to outlaw plastic bags. My degree is in conservation so all that plastic going into the ocean is like anxiety inducing yuck. I am interested in the crochet cruise that The Crochet Crowd does big because it’s like all based around crochet and yarn and community, not because it’s traveling and visiting new destinations but that’s just me

[@hayley1026]

But* not big. Typo

[@sandratanner8138]

The May giveaway is already awesome. I love the bag. Do you sell them? What is the average diet in Kenya? Oh and are the grocery prices comparable to the states?

[@ladonnamcghee1269]

Good Morning, wonderful crochet bag love it, WOW! I can use those pretty yarns, Thanks for sharing this video, Now my question is do knitt too, or have ever knitt before, I would like to learn, My next question is do you take time for yourself, you are so busy,

[@SecretYarnery]

Ha ha ha! Time for MYSELF? I sure do. At least twice a year. Both the times I get sick. ;) I lay in bed and watch Netflix or Showmax all day. ;)

[@sound4daWeb]

HelIo Christa!! I love that you are making a lion head! It looks so hard. Is it that hard? Your brave! XX♥

[@kimwheeler8414]

Hahahahahaha just had to laugh at that one sorry! Both times you get sick.

[@kathleenchamp3764]

Mornin Christa! DID I miss a podcast? You received your shipment of 600?s of yarn? Oh I hope you videoed unveiling it he he he. The colors of yarn are phenomenal! Not into Orange so much but I'm loving in both! I think it's the contrasting colors great collection. Curious if you find out anything on the bird eggs, googled it? LOLOL remember when everything was looked up in encyclopedias as much as I miss using them( their buried in the garage but they certainly have more information than I can find online sometimes... Kathleen YOU'RE NOT digging out the encyclopedias HAHAHA I digress) hope you hatch! The issues with the Cardi? If we follow the revised video will we avoid those issues? Personally I'd want the fit of the original. SO SRY SIS! I can't imagine losing someone to retirement out anything else for that matter that you trust SO deeply and has become such an intricate party of the family. I pray you are blessed with someone knew that grows into the family in their own sweet trustworthy way ;-)

[@marywanamaker2700]

Love your pod casts! You wall of yarn behind you is amazing! Is that your yarn stash or do you have a business that sells yarn? I have so many wips I have not had a chance to start any of your pieces. I love that basket? Did you make it? Do you feel like you are on a permanent vacation living in such a beautiful place?

[@ailsaalmond5355]

Wow your lion is going to be amazing!! What happened to your flower shawl? It would be lovely to make for summer 😊

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi Ailsa! Still sitting around... waiting for me to be not emotionally attached so I can cut at those flowers that I used to join. Almost there. lol! ;) xx!

[@ailsaalmond5355]

The Secret Yarnery Thanks Christa, I saw the mention on Yesterday's podcast (still want to call it a Vlog!!) I feel bad now for asking haha. It looks gorgeous though x

[@pamelaandrade6930]

LOL, HAD TO LAUGH AT YOUR EXPERIENCES WITH SPEAKING ENGLISH IN A NEW COUNTRY, I EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING ON MOVING HERE TO NORTH AMERICA. EVERYONE HERE SPEAKS ENGLISH TOO, BUT STILL HAD A GREAT DEAL OF TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING MY ACCENT, THE OTHER MAIN LANGUAGE HERE IS SPANISH.

[@marionb6154]

It’s a good thing I wasn’t with you at the bead shop - you would have had to drag me out - I love beads 💕💕

[@SecretYarnery]

Me too!! lol!

[@dusandonkin9989]

Ive come across your video of 24 .I can see you have started the lion head how long did it take you so far to crochet it . I Like stags heads my bedroom is full of them I would like to to do one in crochet for my bedroom wall and I've just come across the animal head book that I'm waiting for .it looks some great projects to do .

[@smurfmummy3106]

Hiya Christa, this is my third attempt to watch your podcast!! My kids kept interrupting me. You drive on the same side as the road as me!! I'm laughing as I can hear your Frenchie snoring in the background 😂🐶 I see you restocked your fab wall. Yeah we have the plastic bag ban here too with years and I always forget my bags too. I end up packing my groceries at the boot of my car, normally in the rain here 😂 I love, love, love the colours of all the beads. My inner magpie perked up seeing them. My question for the next podcast is; did you find it hard to settle in when you came to Kenya originally? Were you homesick?

[@masuganut2082]

Oh and I have a question for next weeks podcast hopefully, coming from Canada and then moving to Kenya, do you ever miss the snow? Is there a season you miss?

[@sherylperry7829]

Hi Christa! I love your pod cast and all of your other videos. Where do you get your yarn we see on your shelves? Is it locally sourced?

[@60x2andgood]

That shop of beads would kill me !!How could you just buy one!! They are so beautiful!!! And what a trip that would be !!Kenya and crochet!!! About how much would that cost ?

[@StephBe]

My best friend at elementary school was named Crista (without the h). She was such a sweet heart :-)

[@SecretYarnery]

Awe! So sweet, Stéphanie B.! xx

[@athenascraftingworld970]

i was wondering if you had an easy mandala pattern that i can try all the others i have found are not so easy

[@SecretYarnery]

I do so! Will be uploading it to the website, but a bit of a struggle at the moment! Send me an email, and I will zip it back to you. secretyarnery @gmail.com

[@shawncrafty]

Hi from Texas. Do you have a yarn store there? Love the yarn behind you!

[@evechenier4408]

Pedestrians no longer have the right of way in Ontario, Canada either. Started just recently.

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh wow! I had no idea. SO sad to hear about Toronto too. Yikes.

[@evechenier4408]

Very sad. I was just 15 min away from that intersection that day. Had to take my son to a specialist appointment all the way from Sudbury! (4-5hr drive)

[@sandraschwientek4962]

Hi Christa from Australia, i was wondering what work does your husband do and is he Nigerian?also whats the deal with the orphanage you've mentioned.do you run it etc?.oh and most countries drive on the left hand side, its only silly cou tires like the U.S. that dont know how to do it.lol sandra in Tassie

[@kimwheeler8414]

In the states it's bad we had a school shooting I wanna say a couple, few months back in Florida and since then it's like we had one everyday in some state or another for weeks it seemed that way anyways. If there wasn't a shooting and kids getting killed they were arresting kids for having a gun or making threats of shooting a school up and found the means on the child. It's bad I mean bad, some days your afraid to send your child to school and in alot of schools almost all of them there is NO security or metal detectors to make sure their no carrying weapons into the schools. And the drug pandemic in the United states, in every single state people over dosing on drugs EVERYDAY is so bad they ran out of room at the morgue for bodies. So I know you were saying at some point you thought about moving to chicago. No if it were me I'd move my entire family there with you just to get them out of this mess.

[@SecretYarnery]

I'm with you Kim!! Also why I don't want to raise my kids in Canada - impossible to avoid drugs! Yuck. Didn't want to sound too negative, though... but absolutely not! lol

[@lindacrochetandmore9470]

Is the stuff there expensive

[@SecretYarnery]

Linda Waddell $10 - $80

[@lindacrochetandmore9470]

Do you have meat there in the gro

[@SecretYarnery]

[@faithtopper8501]

wow that hospital is better then the ones we have here

[@lisaroo6103]

I have an off topic question about how your affiliate link works for amazon. I had found stuff I wanted and added it to my cart. Then jumped on here and used your link to bring up my amazon to finish my order. Will you get credit for the stuff already in my cart? Not sure how it works, and every bit of help I can do matters to me.

[@SecretYarnery]

Lisa Heilman thanks Lisa! So sweet of you! Yes, I think that's all you have to do: click on one of my links and then do your shopping/check out! It dosen't have to be the things I link to. Just that you click on my link before checking out. Thank you so so much!!

[@lisaroo6103]

The Secret Yarnery ok thanks! Wanted to make sure before I checked out 😊

[@lindacrochetandmore9470]

I like those bracelet would you sell one I would buy it just to have something from africa
