[@walkinginwatercolourswithmicah]

ikr?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@EM-pt7ch]

Yaaasss!

[@fatimadunham395]

as someone who’s in the fiber community…and doesn’t have a relationship with their mom. i practically sobbed through this whole video. absolutely love your content with your mom and seeing moms and kids share interests. its healing

[@TLYarnCrafts]

Awwww darling! Don't worry, I'll share Mama Gwen with you. She everybody mama anyway :-) Sending you love and lots of hugs, sis. xoxo

[@helenejohansson3368]

I like your mom. She still has the child within her heart and a good Humor😂😂😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@leahhorton4818]

I was so happy to hear Mama Gwen mention Handspun Hope! I got to visit their facility in Rwanda and it was incredible! Such talent among those ladies -- carding, spinning, dying, knitting!

[@LilRedHead42]

"Knit, Love, Crochet" - I think we need that on some TLYC merch. ;) Thank you for showing off all your yarns! My stash is a bit overflowing so I'm trying not to buy anything, and I'm loving getting to see all the amazing things you get. Shopping vicariously with you two. :) So many pretties, but wow my eyes popped out at that green that Mama Gwen got. It would be neat to see a follow up someday with any of the finished projects. Thanks for taking us on your trip with you!

[@kimberlyrogers0804]

Your mom is absolutely beautiful! She looks young enough to be your sister. I love how much fun you guys have together. ❤️ Glad you’re feeling better too.

[@karenboreland9508]

I’d be around the same age. My skin on my décolleté is craggy and wrinkly (I’m Australian living in the heat and working outside). Gwen’s décolleté skin is like an incredibly young woman….stunning 🤯🥰😻💞

[@heathergunter3348]

“Say my name say my name” I don’t know what was better the way she chuckled after or the way you were unamused by your mom 😂😂😂 love the two of you together.

[@LoveAndPieces000]

Momma Gwen is a Rockstar! 🧑🏾‍🎤 I love her vibrant personality and humor. ❤️💕❤️💓

[@indiaaa1095]

Mama Gwen really tickled herself 😂😂 so glad y’all had a good time!

[@Ohitskelly]

I always feel so warm and comforted when I see and hear the two of you talk about your fun adventures together.

[@BusyBeadBoutique]

Oh my gosh always love seeing your beautiful fun mama on here! ❤-Sommer

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

This was soooooo much fun!! I watched every minute and love when Mama Gwen makes an appearance! ❤️ I also am a bag checker and had to pay $100 when I came home from H + H! 😂 I've also had the best pistachio tiramisu and it is my favorite dessert I've ever had! 🍮 Thank you so much for sharing all about Flock! I feel like I was there!!! ☀️

[@Christena1601]

Im from WA, im so glad you had a good time doing the tourist thing in Seattle. Your mom is a sweetheart, you can tell you are besties! ❤❤

[@Cat_Rescuer]

Ms Toni, I'm so happy you're feeling well enough to go live! Much love from Southwestern Illinois ❤ Blessings to you & Momma Gwen 🙏🤗😊

[@erinbritain]

Thank you for this!!! I got to live vicariously through you and experience Flock 😊 And I love the high, low, mid recap at the end! Perfect way to look back at a special trip.

[@PaulaJonesy]

No way is that your Mum! She’s so young and beautiful! Wow! ❤ love to you both from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@HannaPritchett]

I just started crocheting and I found your channel right away... you are now my favorite to watch while I crochet or with my coffee. I especially love these videos with you and your mama. It reminds me of my mom and I. ❤

[@marialitsas6502]

Watching you and your Mom recap Flock is giving me life today. Plus all the haul. :) ❤

[@Cat_Rescuer]

Happy Anniversary Mama Gwen!! 🍾🥂

[@Saritafaye86]

It was so nice hearing about your adventures in Seattle. I moved away from WA less than a year ago and miss it terribly. I mean the views are spectacular and I’m glad you and your mom got to experience it.

[@deirdreevans5533]

I absolutely loved this video! Your mom is so fun. I love it when she incorporates her old school songs into the conversation 😅. This was a great experience sharing your trip with the both of you. Thanks for sharing 😊 May you continue to be blessed so that you can continue to bless us with your knowledge, skills and entertainment. 🫂🥰

[@SallysBackyard]

You two are a joy! Thanks for sharing your experience. 🥰

[@kimlarsen4883]

Oh My it was just hot enough and you walked up 1st Avenue. That is a haul even if you are from Seattle. I am glad you went into that Army Surplus store, that one has lots of unique items. The best time to go to Pike place market. I used to shop at 8am and get out by 10_30am. The homeless has been going out of control for at least 10 years. I saw you with your Mom and the Black collective and you all were taking photos in your lovely crochet dress. I get shy but after watching this episode with Mom, I am sad I did not. I love your relationship. Makes me miss my mom who be gone for 22 years.

[@JoanEB]

Seeing you and your mother together makes me feel so happy. My mother passed when I was 14, and I have always felt the loss of that adult relationship. Thank you for letting me experience yours!

[@sandyrinehart5566]

I love your Mom, you guys are great together. I love all your projects. ❤❤

[@sunnystitcher5400]

As for Pike Place crowds, weekdays in winter really is the best time to head down there. Not everything is always open, but there's breathing space and time to shop. So sad i couldn't be there Saturday to see y'all. I couldn't get the time off with though. Had a blast still there on Sunday.

[@KitteeLane]

I love your mom's energy.

[@kristenpeters4434]

Oh man, your mom laughing after “Say My Name” made my morning! 😂

[@beckyboles6605]

I love your interaction with your Momma! ❤❤❤

[@othcrochetnook]

I love that your Mom is with you for these! So much fun! ❤

[@TLYarnCrafts]

She's the best - I'm just gonna have her run the channel now :-)

[@othcrochetnook]

@@TLYarnCrafts 🥰❤️😅

[@kimberlydickinson2333]

I was listening taking a peak at yarns. Now , I need to go back through and take notes of yarn names and stores. Wow. So fun!

[@superduper1329]

This was so cool, Seattle born and raised so i love hearing about how people experience my home town. Every time I see Mt Rainier i'm filled with awww. Thanks for sharing all the goodies and stories :)

[@dorachavez1886]

Please keep me posted on Mom's progress in her use of a pattern. So glad she decided to put that book to good use. I love living vicariously through you and experience all this thanks to you.

[@1preciouswoman]

I am loving watching your yarn adventures! More than that, I am so thankful that you two get to enjoy these times together. They are precious moments! Praying that you enjoy many, many more ❤

[@TLYarnCrafts]

from your comment to God's ears!! I really enjoy that mom and I can spend this time together, loving yarn and also sharing our experiences with others. Can't wait for the next trip!!

[@mindystewart792]

I love your video podcast of you and your Mom and thank you so much and sharing your Flock fiber festival yarn haul

[@phoenix06ke]

Mama Gwen is the sweetest ❤❤ and you both make an awesome pair, luv your duo videos!

[@melodymalone4076]

I am sad I missed seeing y'all as I didnt know Flock Fiber was a thing as I havent done research into festivals in Seattle area. Im glad y'all are feeling better!! Also I recommend for anyone coming to visit Seattle, check out the Sorrento Hotel as its Seattles oldest hotel and worth going to visit by having dinner there or staying over.

[@tracyadams2244]

I love you two. Thank you so much.

[@valeriereed5401]

Happy anniversary. Hope you have many more wonderful years of happiness and love.❤

[@vickishaw374]

I'm so glad KZbin suggested your podcast to me. You two are a HOOT!!! xoxo

[@Cat_Rescuer]

The colors!! My yarn bone is twitching 🧶🧶

[@TillIGetToYou]

The first few minutes i already apprieciate your mum and sense of humour.

[@donnakosik7379]

I love it when you have your mom on.

[@angieanderson6082]

[@Enig_Mata]

What a lovely episode. You two are so precious! 🥰😉

[@Purpleyarnie]

Love your relationship with your mom. You are very fortunate to have that special bond. Love all the yarn😊

[@joyatodd]

Ladies, you put a smile on my face that lasted the entire episode. Thank you for having breakfast with me in NZ.

[@lbmilam]

I want that dark green yarn that your mom got! ❤️ It is beyond gorgeous!!

[@jacquelinerichardson2240]

You two picked out some gorgeous yarn!!! I can’t wait to see what you make!

[@heycathey1593]

Mom is ungovernable and I am here for it. You both bring more joy to my life than I can say. (And beautiful yarn-y crafty ideas -- thank you!)

[@favoritemommy74]

Love your mom! Love when she joins you! ❤

[@rittj.1303]

It's so cool to see an event like this! Everyone looked great in their makes! I was so happy to see so many people masked, especially you!! Thank you for being safe ❤

[@amandafoxton6463]

Loved this video! Thank you for taking me there. I am disabled and live in Wales so not too many yarn shops or festivals sadly. I have never owned a hank before I can’t imagine just how it feels. I thoroughly enjoyed all the bright colours! Thank you Toni and Mama Gwen! 😊

[@siobhanyamada-gu8dr]

Awww 🥰 it was so great to meet you in person!!! 🤗 thank you so much for sharing your experience of Flock week 2024!! It was such an amazing week!! 🤩 Momma Gwen, Heidi is the cashmere queen you met! I met her, too & she was wonderfully sweet!! She was so sweet I actually changed my yarn plans for a sweater to buy her yarn & am knitting with it right now as I’m watching this! 🤗 it is the most luxurious yarn I’ve ever worked with! 🤩

[@austenwithane1673]

I finished the whole rim of my current hat whip using the pattern from your book! It was so nice to relax and crochet while listening to your yarn chat! Can’t wait for the next one! ❤

[@stacyb.222]

I ❤❤❤when U do your video with your Mom 🌹👑 🌹 Enjoy those special moments & watching her, doing her, Joy & Laughter.

[@TLYarnCrafts]

She's a bundle of happiness and lifts my spirits every time she's around. Thanks for watching!!

[@valeriehowden471]

Mama Gwen! Thanks for sharing your yarn adventures, Toni. Can't wait to see the next one. Loving all your souvenirs ❤

[@lisawierzbicki4994]

Oh my, oh my!! Was that fun!?! Toni and Gwen, I just loved watching this! The bouncing off of each other about chicken fingers, dyers' names, and paperbag looking jellyfish! Of course, the best parts were the yarn hauls, the "caught in the wild" photos of cool patterns that people were wearing, and just seeing what a great festival FLOCK seems to be! Looking forward to meeting you both at Cakepalooza! I'll be the one in the colorful wheelchair, with crocheted and knitted flowers all over the back of my "ride"!!🌻💮🥀

[@suzannestaples2844]

I enjoy, so much, when you have your mom on your videos. The two of you are so much fun to watch together! Momma Gwen has that loving, keep-it-real momma vibe. Thank you, Toni, for sharing about Flock. I have a niece who lives not far from Seattle. Like her mom (my twin sister) and me, she is a crochet enthusiast. Keep up the good work! I enjoy the channel!

[@carimccormack9931]

Great video! Love it when you and Mom podcast together ❤️❤️❤️

[@jenniferbatts8665]

So glad you could visit our Seattle and glad you survived our rugged hills. Thanks for helping me get a few Lego blocks knitted for my grandson's blanket this morning. Appreciate you both.

[@yarn_dragon]

So much fun watching you ladies. That’s for sharing your experiences in Seattle and sharing your joy.

[@janritzberg5297]

Happy Anniversary Mama Gwen! Thank you Toni and Mama Gwen for the video and sharing your visit to Seattle.

[@_maxgray]

MAMA GWEN IS BACK!!!

[@keyshaallen-oh2vu]

You guys got me through my beanie. Love listening to you ladies!

[@ghoul4692]

oh my gosh you were in my neighborhood! I live up the road from Whisky West, I'm so happy you had a good time in West Seattle 😊😊😊😊

[@wandering_in_the_woods]

I absolutely love your mama and her energy when she’s in videos ❤ worked on my daisy/flower granny squares

[@PandoraMorrell]

My goodness I just love you both ❤ I was having a really bad day and you both just make it so much better ❤

[@kellyfindshouses]

I live in Juneau, Alaska and people come in from all over the world to see it. And no, we don't get used to it and we are grateful for such a beautiful place every day. Come by and visit 😘 And thank you for Made by Hailey Bailey! Never heard of her and I'm in absolute LOVE!!!

[@rosebrown839]

Ms. Toni, I am so happy to see & to have heard about y'all's travels❣️ You & Mama Gwen are Absolutely Hilarious together & separate.Only 1 of the reasons I absolutely adore y'all.I pray that y'all have MANY more years to come together❣️❤❤❤

[@carriejohnson1228]

Sounds like an epic trip...love you both!

[@shawnkimadopting]

What a fun trip/haul video. I love you two so much. Also, I got 6 baskets of laundry folded while watching! 😂

[@richinakellylemaster8564]

Love it when your m9m joins you. I have the best laughs!!

[@janiealtamirano2585]

I absolutely love your momma! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@canderson5469]

I am "new" to the hobby (crocheted a bit when I was younger, but just began my relearning process), and I have been enjoying your videos. Just wanted to pop in to say that the joy I see in your bond with your mom is so amazing!

[@sarahwenger1284]

This is my first time watching a video of yours that has your mom in it and she’s so lovely! Made me smile every time she talked

[@leeannegunn9295]

I'm only 23 minutes into the video and I have had to hold my tear ducts to keep me from crying. This is the first video I have watched with you and your mother and it is emotionally overwhelming to see the two of you interact with one another. I can't imagine what it would be like to actually meet you guys in person. You are so fortunate to have your mother with you in this way. I hope I get to experience new yarn craft communities in my future travels during my retirement. Your videos are always uplifting every time.

[@sparky4786]

I just love both of y’all! Thanks for chilling with us.

[@averya7443]

Watching y'all together heals my inner child tbh

[@TLYarnCrafts]

ditto xoxo

[@rebeccasimpkins8231]

The way you and your mom interact reminds me of how my mom and I are. I love the videos you do with her. Thank you for sharing your experience at Flock and some of your time with your mom.

[@NammyG834]

[@YarnyDiane]

Your Momma is awesome. So glad I was able to meet you both in Lawrence. Just love your videos!!! Come back to our area again soon!

[@DegrezVersele]

Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations

[@jctrumb]

I smiled through this whole video. You two are adorable and infectious and very inspiring. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@valeriereed5401]

Sounds like you and your mom had a great time. I'm in NJ our fiber festival is in September. Can't wait. But I am anticipating going to Rhinebeck. 😊

[@laquittawidener6943]

😅 I love you doing videos with your mom. Love how well you guys get along. Just the fact that you are close enough to travel together, craft together & share wonderful time together is wonderful. ❤

[@kimberlymiller7310]

My daughter recommended I watch you to learn how to crochet and this popped up first and in the first 10 seconds of this video i know I found my people. You both are adorable 🥰🥰

[@cerwelt]

Great video didn’t fast forward through one second. It was a great “armchair traveler”. Thanks for sharing everything.

[@SoundViolio]

Yessss! More mama! ❤❤❤ what a lovely blessing of an episode to see you both!

[@erikadahlquist7458]

I love getting to see you and your mom and these events, but love even more the love you show my daughter! Wish she had her blanket on Sunday to show you!

[@amiller3064]

Your mom is right on the mark with her colors! Beautiful.

[@cassiettajefferson7558]

Sounds like a fabulous time! Im just now learning about all the festivals and such so I’ll definitely be putting this one on my calendar for next year.

[@jeannettetroise4577]

Toni & Mama Gwen. You both had me enthralled through the entire adventure you had recently at Flock in Seattle. My mind boggled w/ all the yarn colors & handmade clothing that people wore.Thanks for taking me along. Happy 39th wedding anniversary Gwen & enjoy that respite time in September for your Bday. ❤️

[@Susi1406]

I love the idea of you both working together to create a beautiful garment! Can’t wait to see it. ❤
