[@judikins]

Omgosh you just made my evening. I don’t even crochet but I watch all your videos religiously. You are a ray of sunshine for so, so many people. Love ya Gal!

[@lindamitchell-fox1926]

Girlfriend…go get yourself some hooks and cheap acrylic yarn and have a go. You’ll not regret it.

[@kd-yd5pk]

@@lindamitchell-fox1926 you took the words outta my mouth! I second that GO FOR IT!

[@bbsamazon]

I third it! Crochet is fabulous!

[@cutiesbenny5847]

Crocheting is the best therapy ever! 👍

[@raqial7604]

Riiight! ❣I don't crochet either, but I'm glued to the screen smiling. I did buy some hooks and yarn... we'll see what happens. 🤞🏽

[@livc1981]

The noise from the yarn winder!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂👍 My kids said it sounds like a steam train. Your winder is SOOOOO beautiful 😍

[@Nanapwc]

I love watching / listening to your videos. You are so down to earth with your opinions of yarns, tools & projects. Your voice is very soothing. Tell your Mom hello !

[@aliciawilliams2996]

I love seeing all the things you share! Your honesty and non-judgmental, outlooks are❤

[@donnasullivan9192]

Typically, I lose interest in long winded videos, however you are so well spoken and so lovely that I watched to the end. I enjoyed your array of information. I’m 73 now and have been knitting & crocheting most of my life as well as almost every other craft you can imagine! I retired as an interior designer for an international company but years before I managed a natural cosmetic store for 10 years. I am a fan now and I’ll buy you a cup of coffee….have a lovely day.❤

[@hopelam4425]

I love listening to your voice in the background while I'm crocheting or doing my actual daytime job.

[@malujan]

"If I have to create my sunshine, I will". You are very amazing.

[@Mythical4227]

Toni’s presence is just amazing. I feel like she’s the person who lightens the mood of any room she just exists in.

[@mels-bells14]

So glad to see I'm not the only one who loves to make a blanket! I have 4 going now, and am valiantly resisting another until i finish at least one, lol.

[@preciousbeautyj1043]

You’re just a wonderful designer n teacher but most of all a beautiful person. Thx for all you do. Crystal from Bag O Day is always referring you to any n everyone who wants to learn Tunisian crochet, she says you’re the best. I agree 💯💯

[@ginnyc]

She mentioned you a couple of times last night on her live. ❤️💜 You are the best.

[@paulinekaplin6039]

I enjoy your talks as I crochet Granny Squares. If I lived in USA, I would like to kive near your shop? But I live in Israel, and have been trying to find a crochet club or group, but so far nobody has answered my queries. One of these days I will try Tunisian crochet!!

[@paulinekaplin6039]

Not kive, but live

[@Honeybee-Hedgehog-Designs]

I love that scarf you are wearing - rewatching some of your old videos ❤

[@dinam8934]

Omg Toni my OG Garden Party shawl is one of my favorite projects!!

[@nurayakguven9909]

Ben Türkiye’den Nuray 58 yaşındayım ördüğünüz örgülere bayıldım elinize sağlık iplerin kalitesi çok güzel ben de kendimce tığ işleri yapıyorum boş oturmayı sevmiyorum üreten insanlara hayranım tekrardan elinize sağlık😊❤

[@annmariesabol9435]

You are so sweet and lovely. You're such a radiant happy person who loves to crochet. I am a 50 year old woman who will be 51 on the 26th, and I have been crocheting since I was 10. My mother taught me to crochet. She had passed away in 2014 but every single day when I crochet, I always feel her presence. I have been trying to watch all of your KZbin videos to learn something new or to spark something in my brain that I had been doing a stitch wrong. Thank you so much

[@tammyne]

I want to thank you for your love of Tunisian crochet. Because of your brilliant tutorials I'm finding my way and loving the process. You have a wonderful online personality and I think it's great that you've have such great success. Job well done 👍

[@aneelab8476]

I just love your sense of fashion. your scarf and headband are just gorgeous. And your smile just lights up the room!

[@denisebarker9288]

It is your wonderful personality. I love listening to you as you have so much knowledge. Thank you.

[@donnahenderson3995]

Omg.. I love your crochet mind..I'm a blanket person also..I thought I was the only one who have several different projects at one time..I'm now crocheting for women who are in prison with there babies..I crochet as much blankets as I can and donate them..I think I found my purpose to crochet. But in between I'll make a blanket for new babies as gifts to friends and family. Thank you Donna Marie..

[@dorothyquarles1982]

You are just awesome I love all you do and teach. You would be a awesome teacher. I just love you. Everything you you make is beautiful

[@Westcoastknitting_podcast]

How fun was that 41:11 seconds! I didn't want it to end. Loved all the gloriously beautiful yarn and projects. At 57 years old, I've recently returned to crocheting after learning from my great Grandmother in the 70s. I've re-learned with a new appreciation the crocheting is its own vibe. I just adore it. Then there's the beautiful Tunisian crochets options. I'm like a girl in a candle (yarn) store. Look forward to the next podcast. Also, congratulations on choosing You...we're all better for it. T

[@CaraDayhoff]

Love your brightness. It makes me smile

[@annettebrown829]

Hi.Happy Tuesday to you! Wow I love your work. You are an amazing teacher. I have been crocheting since the age of 8years old. I can only make really basic things. I want to sharpen my skills and open a business. Is it to late to join the academy.

[@lindasharp3056]

Thankyou for being such a ray of sunshine in this long Idaho winter.

[@monami4291]

I love your videos and look forward to them. You are highly esteemed in crochet community, especially for tunesian crochet. I am 53 and I began crochet at about the age of 7. It was the best gift anyone could have given me. A neighbor taught me how to make a chain. From that time much of what I learned was self taught. Crochet is my saving grace. I learn a lot from your videos. Please continue to spread your kindness through your art. Best wishes always.

[@debvif3342]

So happy to get to listen to your podcast. Thanks.

[@Hap674]

What a fabulous teacher you are - I love your lessons xx

[@sheryl7837]

You are blessed, sweet lady, and so are we bc of who you are and how you love yarn and teaching us about yarn crafts! Hugs!

[@angeliquemcniff3076]

I did it! I was totally inspired by you all December so yesterday I went into your Video collections list and brought up the first Tunisian Stitch Basics video and made a sample square and then started the video#2 and am making the Tunisian Stitch Headband. I also began my temperature blanket 2023 in Lazy Days in Linen Stitch rows, inspired by your 2022 blanket. Thank you for my return to crochet and to new practices.

[@maidendragonfly]

The edging on your Garden Party Shawl refresh is reminiscent of a Tiara. It is gorgeous! I love your esthetic.

[@chantaleouimette842]

I love the wonderfull shawl You are wearing. Great color.

[@claudettemccartney3552]

I abso-love it too!! Where xan I purchase thd bundle? The yarn and pattern? Please?? I'm in Canada

[@TheKellyHaggerty]

I love blankets too. In fact my nephew died a couple of years ago and I decided to make a blanket for everyone I love in my family.

[@sandyjackson4661]

Love your videos. It is nice to see your smiling face and soothing voice with my morning coffee. Plus I actually find your reviews extremely helpful.

[@Momma_J]

Thank you for your transparency. My sons have seasonal depression. It is so exciting to see them bloom out of their season of funk.

[@heatherhinds138]

I'm so in love with your Landscapes Breeze blanket! YUMMY!

[@bonitathomas8837]

Another ABSOLUTELY Informative and excellent gathering in your crafting world. Thank you Toni. I have turned so many of my friends on to your website and KZbin page on Ravelry that I feel like your agent. Thanks again for the crocheting help and for infusing my world with soft cushiony goodness.

[@margaretswann6805]

Love you Toni. Thank you.

[@lasharonfulmer8194]

Awesome, I learned tunisian crochet from you, and my husband encourages me to perfect my craft.

[@empain_]

You don’t know how much I needed this video. Been having a rough time lately and I’ve been waiting to listen to this Monday morning for a little boost. I’m finding it hard to find motivation to do anything but your video has given me joy and made me want to crochet again 🥰 keep up the good work and God bless !

[@elfrog98]

Toni, you are blessed, and you are a blessing. I am so grateful for you and for what you do.

[@ilahjarvis]

Love the version of the Garden Party Shawl you are wearing! Your patterns are brilliant and inspiring!

[@rosebenton1126]

My husband calls me and old lady for crocheting but is willing to fill a saddle bag on the motorcycle when we go on a ride and find a yarn shop. So it’s fun And mixes both of my favorite things to do. I have a project every time we go on the motorcycle.

[@snowhitedrifted6384]

I love, love, love the updated edging on the Garden Party Shawl! I am a bit late to the party and the pattern bundle is no longer available on Madeline Tosh. Is this available some other way?

[@reannehancock2609]

I'm so glad to see you in this video! You're husband sounds awesome! I can't wait to see what comes up on your next video. Keep up the wonderful work that you do!🐈🌼🌻🌺🌹🏵💮🌸🌷💐, A little kitty and beautiful flowers for an absolutely beautiful, amazing woman! You're the best!

[@sy2.083]

High impact, low effort-perfect description, ty!

[@Frostedminifirecracker]

When I can’t figure something out, I go look for you-sort of What Would Toni Do? You’re tutorials are beautifully done and easy to follow. You make it fun. Thank you.

[@johannambolton]

There you are!!! I thought I lost you! I love your videos. Thank you!!

[@elanasigrist5185]

I love what you said about getting paid for your work. I understand doing colab work to build your name. But if they are coming to you its because you are bringing them the benefit of customers and visibility. You should ABSOLUTELY be paid for your skill and creativity. I learned to crochet when I was a little girl from my grandma, the typical granny square blankets. I have since taught myself to knit and when I found you I hopped into Tunisian. I'm actually getting brave enough to start making my own sweaters. I love your videos and you are so upbeat I think I could listen to you talk about anything.❤️

[@ItsTimeforYarn]

Yarn as a souvenir?! That is genius. I absolutely love that idea.

[@laurenbrender3671]

It's great! I bought some yarn (granted not local yarn but was a lys) from a trip to Cornwall and it'll forever be the yarn I bought on that trip (I also had the perfect knit pattern for it already which made it 100x better)

[@ItsTimeforYarn]

@@laurenbrender3671 It’s the best feeling when a yarn and pattern just naturally go together. I’ve never thought about getting yarn on trips but I love the idea of making something that reminds me of a vacation. I know my husband doesn’t want anymore coffee mugs. 😂

[@susankelsey-brewton1023]

"We Are Family"... THAT says it all!!

[@doloresg2141]

thank you for your honest response to the questions. can't wait for the tutorials.

[@cyndysmith4011]

I'm so sorry that I missed you in 2022..I was barely in Oregon but I would love to share with you and give you a hug..I'm working on a Mish mash trench length sweater for my 6"6 son ..I have been making squares of every color and a few different stitches...I enjoy your tutorials 🎉thank -you😂😂

[@sagarcia202]

Your face says it all. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[@nancystender8041]

You are an absolute delight!! I learn so much from you.

[@carolmccarrick5477]

Sooo good to see you and happy to see a new video. Love all your chats and instructions.

[@ZenJoJo369]

Absolutely love your channel. I've been an avid crafter for quite a while and love watching others who enjoy their crafts as much. I've always joked that if there was a zombie apocalypse while other people are going to the stores to get weapons, I'll be the one going to the craft stores. hahahaa... Look forward to your next video. Love, Light, and Happiness to you.

[@xlena60]

Toni, I just love your videos. You have such a beautiful glow that makes it a pleasure to watch. The projects you shared today are gorgeous! I was hoping to see a project you displayed on one of your Instagram posts. It was in shades of blue with granny squares. I can't wait for you to present. For now this will hold me over.🥰❤

[@HJKelley47]

I am a flatbed machine knitter, and a California King blanket I made required $150 worth of yarn. Took me 5 weeks to complete that project. Love the looks of your blankets.

[@EasternElder]

I just want to thank you for all the info you share. If I improve my finances (I’m 75) and can afford to buy yarn and will promise to help. Right now I’ll be a follower and thumb up your videos. You are full of knowledge and generous with info…..and you always boost my days!! Thanks again! Love your posts! 🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼

[@ItsTimeforYarn]

Join as you go is the best. I love feeling like I’m making progress as I make individual squares instead of building them up and joining them at the end.

[@blueeyes1084]

This is an older video but I am watching it months later... RELATEABLE - I am moving soon and was like "Im gonna work through my current stash yarn" AND I'll get fun throws to put around the new house! :)

[@jeannettelee2806]

I’m so happy I’m not the only one with beautiful bags filled with yarn projects. This year my intentions is too finish all my projects and to use use up scrapes of yarns.

[@EasternElder]

Forgot. I also went back to school at 25,32, 50 yrs old three different times with promise for jobs. After many mailed resumes ( before we could apply online) and I only got sub work and a few part time jobs. Kudos to you for this site which I think can be a huge success. Your bright and have a great personality. So glad you’re on here. !! 🎉

[@christinemanlulu3301]

Love the DW home candles from TJ Maxx, especially the sandalwood myrrh scent

[@mayolson2]

You are the best!!! A peek into your life was so special. You are such a dear soul.

[@nancyfrancis8950]

How do I double thumbs up this post? I love all of your videos but I think I enjoy these where you’re just updating us on your life & sharing a bit of your history with us the most. On this blustery gray day in Kentucky where I’m in bed recovering from surgery you were just the ray of sunshine I needed! Thank you!

[@mattsadventureswithart5764]

I'm an engineer by trade, but am exploring fibre arts. Currently I'm thoroughly enjoying learning to crochet and machine knit. Your videos are SO positive that its difficult to feel down when you're on screen.

[@M1Yarns]

Your temperature blanket is sooo gorgeous. Can’t wait to see how it progresses thru summer. And that tee?! 😍 #need !!!!!! 🎉

[@bargeiger50]

I’m watching you at 5 AM. You are my go to watch lately. I had been wanting to learn Tunisian crochet and found you, and so glad I did. I think I finally get it. Have bought some hooks and I got your book on Tunisian crochet. I’m on a roll, thank you.

[@LilRedHead42]

Yay! A Toni podcast! I love your casual chats with us. It's not a substitute for the in person gatherings but being at a distance, I really value the opportunity to sit down with a cup and have a chat with you. I also love how conversational you are when explaining things. Thank you for sharing what you're working on; your projects always look so good! Those Landscapes Breeze yarn colors and your Bahama Blanket pattern are a fabulous combo. Delish! And that blanket #3, omg those colors! You have me hooked and excited to work with hand dyed yarn. I hope we get to see that one again in the future. I could stare at that palate all day. Thank you for always keeping it real and super congratulations on 5 years of videos!

[@TLYarnCrafts]

You're so kind, Nikki. You're right - video podcasts will never take the place of in person meetups, but they're nice to have in between :-)

[@suzanneknepp849]

I truly like your business model. But the quality of your work in addition to the beautiful patterns you create are what draws me to your channel. You are an entrepreneurial genius as well as an artistic genius! Blessings to you!

[@jenharris1021]

"Aesthetics are important to meeeeeee". Oh, you make me smile ❤ Thank you for your fabulous videos and crochet vision. Lots of love from the UK xxx

[@valerieclark5695]

Thank you so much for mentioning the yarn winder company by name. Often the "in" products don't seem to deliver. I just treated myself to a Dyson vacuum for Christmas. It died less than a month later. Waaaa! I love your crocheted blanket designs and hope to get back to blanket making in a couple of years - my dog destroyed the last one I made. Your bubbly personality is a pleasure to watch.

[@beckybugh6515]

I just recently found you. I follow a few other crochet channels but you instantly shot to the top as my number one favorite. You are so talented. So many of your tips and tricks to make my work look better have been so helpful. I would never spend 40 minutes watching any of the others. They are talented but just not as interesting. I love your presentation, your bright personality and your passion for all you do with your channel. Keep up the fabulous work. I wish you all the best and much success with your channel. I'll be watching. ❤️👍

[@MrsLeguyader]

That Bahama blanket is a stunner!

[@crochetology12]

I’m sorry the Ohio gloom has got you down. As a native Ohioan myself (Toledo), I remember thinking by March that we might never see the sun again. Hopefully you’ll have endlessly sunny days soon, but in the meantime sun-kissed hugs from California.💖

[@deborahb2lil2latemashburn]

What a pleasure you are to watch and listen to.♥🧶God bless, be safe and stay well.

[@elmo1999elmo]

Wonderful….you are Number 1 …. Along with Bella Coco’s Jayne …..

[@pskettypsketty2443]

I love all of your videos and podcasts! You have taught me so much about how to crochet. I started a temperature blanket for a special year in my life. 6 months of the squares are done, six more to go. I am enjoying the entire process. I hear you re: gloomy days = lower personal energy. Me, too. Take the time you need to get to springtime and brighter days. Your sparkle and your creative work touch peoples' lives all around the world.

[@liliajgodfrey6612]

Hello from Albuquerque, New Mexico. I was tought to crochet as a child and picked up and put down. I tought myself to knit about 4 years ago and became a snob about crochet. Your videos have helped me fall back in love with Crochet. Thank you for having an amazing channel!!!

[@donnaduran5022]

I love your temperature blanket the colors are so pretty.I love making blankets also I have 3 I'm working on now they are great stress relievers I also love making shawls a girl can never have to many. I love your Podcast you are a great designer and teacher. Have a blessed day! 💗😊🧶

[@valeriehicks9543]

Glad to see you doing your pod cast again I really enjoy your videos. I purchase my candles from Bath and body works and i love there clean linen, fresh and clean love it. Keep doing what you do Toni you are amazing.

[@lillielicklider4013]

YAY Toni! I know you've been super busy the past months and I'm so glad to see you looking sassy and beautiful in that scarf you've made. Thank you for the joy you bring!

[@maryshockley1904]

I LOVE making BLANKETS! ESPECIALLY MANDALA /CAL types. More texture the happier I am. I also deal with seasonal disorder with other mental and physical health issues. I love your positive attitude 🧶🔥🧶

[@micheleprice4292]

That blanket was my first Tunisian project and you were so easy to follow and it is beautiful. Ty

[@lovemyalaskalife9478]

Absolutely love the tunisian blanket!!!

[@Mini_Mal_1]

The swift on the Fiber Artist Supply Co. is my favorite so far. I love my ball winder from there, too, and even splurged on the motor. It was a lot of money, but it was absolutely worth it if you have the money.

[@TheHappyCamperStamper]

I cant begin to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. I subscribed to your channel a few months ago because I was interested in Tunisian crochet. I mostly knit but have crocheted since childhood taught by my two great aunts. You have the most wonderful energy I have ever seen/heard. You speak energetically which usually annoys me, but you do it in such a way that I am still calm and enjoy everything that you say. I have watched your crochet hook comparisons, your yarn reviews, and and many many of your tutorials. Each time I just want to curl up with a cup of tea or coffee and watch a video and work on one of my many yarn projects, and lol... I am a paper crafter. LOL.... but seriously, I have experience multiple losses in the last year and have just been nurturing a broken heart and your videos have just been soul warming. You have the most lovely smile and everything you say is kind. I intend to watch your channel forever. Thank you so much for enjoying what you do and sharing it with all of us. Love Ya!!!

[@annabelleavila6593]

I am so glad I found you!! This podcast was amazing! You are an absolute joy to listen to, I think I had a smile on my face the entire video. I am a knitter but have crocheted a few items. I am very interested in Tunisian crochet and am looking forward to your video next Friday. Thanks so very much for sharing…your work is stunning and you are a ray of sunshine 🌞 🥰

[@karentzn]

You make my day. Such a beautiful podcast. Just love listening and looking at your happy face. Can understand the mood with dark weather. I’m just the same. Hugs

[@baileyk1989]

Toni, your palette is all summer candies, like marshmallows/saltwater taffy hues! 🍬

[@anzaforbes8819]

Yass new video and my signed copy of the tunisian crochet handbook arrived 😊. I’m so excited to dive in and learn about tunisian crochet! Thanks Toni 💜
