Making a fall wreath your little orange pumpkin would look great in the centre.

[@SecretYarnery]

I agree Tee Cee! Thank you! xx

[@jenpetunia]

That’s it- I’m inspired to make a pumpkin(s) now! When the tutorial comes out, I’ll have my yarn and hook in hand. Thanks, Christa!

[@SecretYarnery]

That's awesome, Jenny Peytavin! xx

[@carmellawright3574]

Thanks, Beth Tatum! xx

[@kathryntienter6944]

Love your channel. I watch you often.

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh thank you so much, Kathryn Tienter! xx

[@katibere1966]

LOVE 💕 the pumpkins...especially the HOT PINK!!! Congratulations Nikki & Penny!!

[@Desaundrea]

Lime green pumpkin with hot pink leaves! Yaaass! I love the pink pumpkins so much.🧶🧶🧶🎃🎃 🎃

[@kerrynwright]

To avoid frogging the collar you could keep going as you are with the increases at the bottom, then fold it up to either make an inside pocket or an outside pocket... outside would look cute & great hand warmers!😜 You could add a button & button hole to it if you don't want it gaping open when not in use... that'd look cute too!👍 I'm not a fan of any of those needles, other than the bent tip clover needle!👌 As I usually crochet with finer yarns, I prefer using a darning needle with a slightly sharp point, as it's finer for going through thinner yarns.... not as easy to thread though.😏 Congrats to Nikki & Penny & welcome to the family!🥳 Blessings from South Australia💕🐨

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Hi Christa💚 I just ordered all 3 of the Clover hooks plus the Clover tapestry needles. I linked from your KZbin page so hopefully you’ll get some credit from my order. Thank you so much for your recommendations and offers. I appreciate you so much. Love & Light from a huge fan of yours in NYC. ☮️💚🌻🙏❤️💚❤️💚❤️🌻🌻☮️❤️💚🙏

Welcome to Nikki and Penny to your community. Love 💘 the pumpkin 🎃. I am looking forward to the panda 🐼 snuggle blanket, just so cute. See 👀 you on your live Friday chat. Take care. Thank you 🤗 Christa.

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh thank you so much, Anita Powell! You're awesome! xx

[@jen_brandon]

I absolutely love the bent tip needles for sewing in ends and sewing seams. I won't use anything else now. They are perfect for amigurumi but also great for everything else as well.

[@SecretYarnery]

Riiiiight, Jen Brandon!?? Totally! xx

[@tammylynn7397]

We have white pumpkins here in the States and the seeds are awesome because they’re real big and ho they’re so good. They still taste like a pumpkin you make pies out of them

[@SecretYarnery]

Sounds marvelous, Tammy Lynn Kovacs! Maybe they are the same ones we have here! xx

[@catrinanerey1596]

I love your channel. Can't wait for the pumpkin tutorial.

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh thank you so much, Diane Sharpe! You're awesome! xx

[@heatherr9201]

Consider doing short rows for the collar and yes decreasing.... also increasing hook size and slip stitches might make a great collar for the width your wanting and still great texture and drape

[@SecretYarnery]

Great idea, Heather Thompson! Loving all that!! Thank you!

[@ThriftingandShoppingwithJoan]

Pumpkins are super cute! Can’t wait for the tutorial!

[@SecretYarnery]

Thank you, Clare Loney! 🌈🌼🌸

[@crochetcreations3232]

I just came from the yarn store with orange and green yarn for pumpkins! Perfect timing.

[@dawnfredlund5810]

Hi Crista, I love the little throw on the back of your chair you are sitting in. The bright colors and the white outline caught my eye. Can you give me a pattern to make that my self. I love watching your videos. Thank you for doing them. Your yarn friend in Vegas.

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi Dawn! Thank you! Here it is: Spiral Granny Blanket: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYiZdotjnLaLma8

[@marlenejooste9011]

Love the pumpkins.☺

[@dianaschut2360]

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, Diana Schut!! xx

[@vegangelist]

I actually like how the collar on the pink sweater comes down to a point. But I also thought it could be cute to add a shell or some lacy detail in that inverted "valley" created where the collar is joined at the side of the sweater. That would fill it in and be decorative, would still keep the point on the collar end AND would save from frogging and redoing. Alternatively, you could try those post stitches again with a larger hook. That could give it some flop and drape. Then you could do decreases at the end as well.

[@knitpurlsquirrelwithgrannydee]

Love, love, love your into - been meaning to tell ya! What a cute pumpkin! Surely I can make some of those, I hope! Wow, hot pink pumpkin! A nice blue pumpkin would be nice! Ooooo, need a sling for my water bottle. Love your Tammy sweater too! Love YOU! I love Clover yarn needles best.

[@SecretYarnery]

Awe! Thank you so much, Knit, Purl, & Squirrel with GrannyDee! Thompson! xx

[@pamelaandrade6930]

Good afternoon Christa, from an Aussie in California. Have a great day.

[@SecretYarnery]

Thanks, Pamela Andrade! You too! xx

[@kathywelch8722]

Thanks for all the tips on yarn needles and hooks on sale. Love your pumpkins.

[@leolindsey1929]

Hi. It’s cold down here in Arizona

[@leolindsey1929]

Lol

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, Leo Lindsey!! xx

[@susan8918]

Make that pumpkin w/ a pink leaf . 🌞

[@SecretYarnery]

Thanks, Susan! xx

[@connieclark2865]

On your pink sweater fold the end to the outside and add a pretty button to hold it. Don’t know what that would look like but it’s worth a try!

[@ChelleShellCrochet]

Sorry the collar is being so difficult but those pumpkins are going to brighten your spirits for sure! I like the trip Tuesday videos on their own 👍🏼👍🏼 Oh & the grocery store reminded me I was out of mustard so thanks 😂🤗

[@mariskacilliers4760]

Oh my gosh! Love the pumpkins! We don't celebrate Halloween in SA, but I sure am temped to make a couple of those!!

[@candygrubisic]

That panda is SO SOFT looking. Love the cream color. I bet a decrease would work for that...kinda like how hat brims are worked. Could do an occasional camel stitch for texture but probably doesn't need it. Crickets for an hour, too funny. I still don't have a favorite needle.

[@sharryhope4724]

I absolutely love your color choices fantastic

[@SecretYarnery]

Oh I am so glad you like them, Sharry Hope! Thanks!🌻🌺🌼

[@anthonydutra1598]

Hi good to see you

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, Anthony Dutra!! xx

[@lynnblackwell6387]

Love the pumpkin

[@dorothyrosa5176]

I use my old shawls as a qrochet pattern that way they come out even.

[@tinasmith9967]

Hiya christa, I love the pumpkins, I can't wait for the tutorial. in the UK we have some online yarn shops that had amazing sales and I've bought yarn I didn't need lol.

[@SecretYarnery]

Thanks so much for sharing, Tina Smith! Sounds fabulous!! xx

[@amberv7159]

Those pumpkins 😍

[@Tabby_Angela]

I've been looking for those Susan Bates needles since I saw someone use one one a video! FYI the link for the Susan Bates goes to the Knitters Pride.

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, angela1830!! BUMMER! Let me fix that right NOW! lol Try this: amzn.to/3bHrxke

[@Tabby_Angela]

@@SecretYarnery thank you! Can't wait to get them!

[@jodifacello-oberry7805]

I don’t even bother with yarn needles anymore for weaving my ends in cause they just never worked well for me and eventually my tails would wiggle out. Now I go with embroidery needles and WOW, what a difference. You can get them with different “eyes” to accommodate your yarn and have a nice sharp point. Never have had a yarn end slip undone since using them. And not pricey either. 🤗

[@samanthamurdock3752]

Hi! From a distance it almost seems like a lace wide triangle would fit in the spot at the bottom of the collar on pink &grey sweater maybe a grey lace motif could be a pocket to tie it together or maybe you could fold the end of collar up on an angle to become a pocket and extend the fold over with motif or more crochet fabric to make pocket deeper. Just some ideas I thought I’d share for you! How cute would a Pom Pom border would be around edge to wiggle as you walk!

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, Samantha Murdock!! That would be SO cute! lol xx

[@romaynecarlin7764]

hiya christa! what abt making the sweater corners something unique like your fab borders? you always make such nice ones.

[@minini5571]

The world needs hot pink pumpkins right now!💗

[@SecretYarnery]

I agree Michelle Durden! Thank you! xx

[@irenew6202]

Christa I had the problem with Knitters Pride yarn needles....the fishing line broke off...

[@SecretYarnery]

Riiiiight, Irene W620!?? Totally! xx

[@mellodym5931]

So it's approx. 62 degree Fahrenheit there? I wish our winter was like that. It gets below zero sometimes here is Arkansas! And when I say zero, I mean Fahrenheit! That would be like -17 C! Talk about COLD! Brrrrrr Have a great day! Stay warm!

[@nancyjones1060]

Yes the 5.98 one is great I have those yes the clover gold one yes have the Susan bates one they are great

[@SecretYarnery]

Thanks, Nancy Jones! xx

[@lindacrochetandmore9470]

No it is good to put a pink leave on a light green pumpkin 🎃 lol

[@SecretYarnery]

Riiiiight, Linda Waddell!?? Totally! xx

[@crochetcreations3232]

I love the Knitters Pride yarn needles for short ends. I use a different needle for sewing in the ends and then switch to the knitters pride when the tail is short. It has not broken on me but thanks for the warning!

[@gable2kf]

I use a latch hook for working in short tails

[@jen_brandon]

HALF PRICE CLOVER SET AMAZON UK Clover Amour set of 2mm to 5mm are nearly half price on Amazon UK (date is 10th sept 2020) also some single hooks... 4mm is £5.77 from £8.89

[@SecretYarnery]

That's awesome, Jen Brandon! THANK YOU! xx

[@doje2810]

To try and make a simple mental illustration- can you just crochet a rectangle on each side, at the bottom of collar/sweater to straighten it out?

[@beatboxmaster8869]

Had you considered making your collar the way you want then doing a gusset at the two triangular joints to even it out instead of frogging it yet again?

[@michellemunn7959]

Hi Krista!!!

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, Michelle Munn!! xx

[@leeallen210]

So did you get the liner in the pond before the rains came or did it fill up on its own and now you have to drain it to put in the liner? So looking forward to seeing its progress.

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, Lee Allen!! It's from all the rain! Imagine. Will have to scoop it out before finishing digging... still need one end to be shaped. :)

[@elainejan]

Hi, what yarn did you use for the Tammy sweater you are wearing? I really like the colors.

[@b.c.2313]

Not to mention that the clover needles or steel needles are more Eco Friendly!

[@amyrowlands7402]

Is there a pattern or tutorial for that sweater (once you figure out what you will do with the bottom.). I love it.

[@samcross8373]

Which yarn did you use for the sweater you are wearing it is beautiful

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, Sam Cross!! It's this one: bit.ly/2Hgd7IU

[@samcross8373]

Thank you

[@mariakristinahawl1640]

I know you're a perfectionist, but if you don't wanna frog the collar again, you should fold up the edge the way you showed us that you would decrease and just sew it into the shape you want. Then, you can add one more final row/edge to that entire colla, maybe with a picot edging to give it some flare. I mostly use the Susan bates flexible needles cuz I don't have long tails. I don't like to waste yarn on long tails!! Lol

[@msjetmech]

I like the clover bent needle too. Oh - all that work - no sound - AAAGGGHHHH

[@maryjanehardy2617]

Hi all, has anyone had trouble getting on to the Ice Yarns website? Thank You

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, Mary Jane Hardy!! Nope - working fine from over here. xx

[@sharryhope4724]

Where can I find the Beautiful and colorful variegated yarn you used to make the baby blanket.

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, Sharry Hope!! It's Picasso from Ice Yarns.. been sold out for months now. Ugh! Thank you! 🌻🌺🌼

[@karimamiranda3418]

Put a triangle in the space

[@SecretYarnery]

Great idea, Karima Miranda! xx

[@KristiesHooked]

I filmed for 35 minutes the other day and for whatever reason it would not upload. Lol

[@SecretYarnery]

Riiiiight, Hook Me Up Crochet with Kristie!?? It's always something. LOL xx

[@pourtoutmaryse3071]

Bonjour ou trouver le lien de votre très belle veste en crochet, merci

[@culinarygurly987]

Om goodness I thought I missed it

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, Culinary Gurly!! xx

[@judyjennings3426]

It will be better to hem up the back part of the sweater.

[@SecretYarnery]

Thanks, Judy Jennings! xx

[@nicolescheffler8063]

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@SecretYarnery]

Hi, Nicole Scheffler!! xx

[@paulyscrochetedcreationsby8065]

Maybe you could stitch bottom of the collar to the back then you would not have to rip it. It would then hug your bum. Just an idea. 😊😊😊💖💖💖

[@Sassy2935]

There is lion brand cupcakes at JoAnns for $2.99 original 7.99. Why not close the windows so the place can be warmer. If you can't then get someone to do it for you. Why u sit there freezing, it's like punishment.🤔🤔🤗☹️

[@SecretYarnery]

Riiiiight, Carol Wallace!?? Totally! I think I need a welder to come and rehang the windows... Ugh. xx
