TL YARN CRAFTS PODCAST: Bullied By A Border + My 2025 Yarny Bingo Card [January 2025]

me also but it was my birthday 😢

Same, 20th was not a good day

[@amaripeart5417]

I have an idea Toni ☝🏾 It works for me. Maybe it will for you too. How about adding WIP tags to your unfinished items? I use a small square of drawing paper which I punch a hole into, write what needle I was working with, what I was making and why I paused the item. I then attach it with a stitch marker/pin through the punched hole. Then when I take it back up, it’s easier to restart said item.

[@devlandiablo]

This idea has saved me repeatedly, I use index cards and a bit of ribbon

[@TLYarnCrafts]

I love this idea! Very practical. I’ve taken to documenting my WIPs in my phone - including what the bag looks like - so I can always look back on my notes once I pick the project back up.

[@mcd5478]

Great idea! Especially putting hook size on project! 1 year later I can’t remember what hook I used! 😆🤪

[@cindaadams9545]

I soooo need to do this!!! 🤩

[@Varyewshouse]

This is my first year doing the year long blanket. Ive decided to take the 1-10 pain scale my doctor has me use for my chromic pain to keep track of it every day.😂 So its my pain blanket but my kids picked which skeins went to which numbers when they dont know what the numbers mean. So the higher my pain day they picked prettier yarn so now i have at least one thing to make me happy on my bad days. Plus i can keep travk of it for my doc. Thank you for making videos and things im about to start on my first sweater thanks to you and elise rose crochet talking me into it .

[@UndertheNeedle282]

This is actually pretty fantastic ❤️❤️

[@LisaFrazer-i6w]

Your temperature blanket is beautiful. Congratulations on finishing it.

[@TLYarnCrafts]

Thank you thank youuuuu! I am super happy with how it turned out, and even happier that it’s done 😂

[@cheriastrahan8453]

We are supposed to get rain today in SoCal. Clouds coming in now! It was been so dry and windy my nose, lips and skin are so dry. Our home was snug out spot for relatives if the needed it. It wasn’t but they were grateful for our offer. I have stayed indoors and crocheted and knitted! Somebody did a good rain dance!🌈

[@sapphirejul3942]

I am praying for that rain....I am in the SD east county area. Stay Safe!!❤

[@TLYarnCrafts]

Sending so much love your way, and I hope you get that good, restorative rain. Lord knows yall have earned it.

[@BarefootCrochet]

I’m praying for no mudslides

[@epena2805]

@cherisastrahan Hope the rain doesn’t come in torrents. The last thing you need there are mud slides. Have been living in NO. CA for a long time and we’ve had our fire disasters here too. But the canyons & beach communities in SO. CA were my stomping grounds as a teen & young adult. I’m completely heartbroken 💔 over the devastation with every photo I see of the area. I pray that Federal funds soon will be forthcoming to begin the recovery and to start the rebuilding process. Lynn, No. California

[@cheriastrahan8453]

@@epena2805 Thank you so far so good. But it's just a "drop" in the drought bucket. I don't know how NoCal fared. HOAs need to stop insisting on green lawns. Don't belong to one but...At least my allergies stopped. We were south of the fires and had family living near them. We said our house was open for any evacuees. My heiphew's wife was a teacher at the Palisades Charter School and it was 90% destroyed. Otherwide everyone else is okay, Just hope the rain comes in small amounts for many occasions. Crochet and knitting were my go to therapy during all of this. I have so many WIPS

I need emotional support. I panic-purchased 152 skeins of various Big Twist yarns. Someone tell me Joann isn’t going to close up entirely 😢

[@EgL31Fx2]

What!? Is this for real life?

[@chantalewis3091]

I think it's only a couple of them. In my area, we had 2 now is only 1 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@Ace_AloneWolf]

From what I’ve heard, the parent company of Joann has filed for bankruptcy twice in the past 12 months. The first time was when the shut down the smaller stores. The second is why so much is sold out or just plain not being stocked. There’s stores that never got any Valentine’s stuff and many other stores are just in disarray

[@walkinginwatercolourswithmicah]

Our Joann's closed up. Sad. It was a super nice one, too. Excellent sewing section! They had an enormous selection of yarns.

[@Ace_AloneWolf]

@ mine too. A little piece of my soul died when I walked in to see six women stand around the cutting counter and laughing as they tore up hundreds of sewing patterns. I still want to cry over that

[@susanrussell8195]

Do you have a pattern for that? I should do that for my 14 month old granddaughter.

Oh my goooosh this sounds so cute!! There’s nothing like being an Auntie 😁

[@RB-mg1jc]

@@susanrussell8195 I followed this video on KZbin, which I just used to make my first sweater. Very beginner friendly in my opinion, you’ll just want to modify it to the size of the child. I used one of my nieces pre-existing sweaters as a size template. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZa5iJ-up8pmppYsi=WiEmR4B15PD60c2g To clarify, the pattern doesn’t include a heart. I am going to crochet one separately and whip stitch it to the body of the sweater. Never done one before but there are plenty of tutorials online.

Cackling loudly about your mood, Toni, on January 20th. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Might try the Mood Blanket for 2025. Didn't finish my temperature blanket for 2024. Sigh.😢

It’s a great idea! I foster kittens and I have a bingo card in my head for different kittens I want to foster. I haven’t had an orange female yet, or a buff colored kitty.

@@TLYarnCrafts HAS to be SUPER DEE DUPER SPESHULL! For sure! There may have been “Pattycake Bakery” and some “Jeni’s” involved. 👀 totally ate my feelings. It was a BIG one, too. Like a half dollar sized one. 🤦🏼‍♀️ lol.

Lest you think all I do is knit (been knitting since I was 9 yrs old - I'm 67 now), but I've recently learned a little crochet. My favorite crochet technique so far is Tunisian. LOVE the look of the Tunisian simple stitch.

😁😁😁 thanks babe! I’m pretty smitten with it myself

[@lorrainekrahn4498]

I looked at your temperature chart and laughed. I live in northern British Columbia, Canada. -10c (17F) is a pretty warm winter day here. It’s not unusual to have -30c (-22F) You’ve got me inspired to start a blanket though; time to start using up some of my stash. January 20….well I am Canadian so enough said. BUT, my new granddaughter arrived at 12:31, so a delightful surprise a week early

I’m making the Monti Wrap :) I’m going to crochet some loops at the top to make the shawl a curtain! I have this little side window that doesn’t need a ton of privacy coverage because it faces trees and it’s in the living room but I needs some yarny love! I thought the Monti wrap would bring in the light so well. Using a soft blue and a crisp white to match all seasons!

My goals for this year are to do 2 things: 1) declutter by getting rid of 1 item per day (no matter how large or small) by tossing, recycling, giving away, or repurposing them. I'm keeping a spreadsheet to track them to keep me accountable. 2) Use my stash yarns to knit up a bunch of small items (hats, gloves, scarfs, socks, pot holders, hand towels, etc.) to use as gifts around the winter holiday season 2025. Oh, and Jan 20th - perfectly understandable.

[@TLYarnCrafts]

Ooooo love your de-cluttering method! Hubs and I have committed to something similar - our shared closet is getting out of control 🫣

Toni you have helped me re-discover my love of crochet! I bought some yarn at christmas for another project and had so much left over I thought I could for sure remember how to crochet 25 years later.... I could! But only with your KZbin help! I am finishing up a christmas blanket and instead of a temp blanket or mood blanket for 2025, I discovered a BOOK BLANKET!! Granny squares based on the cover of the book. I am so stinkin excited to get going. I just finished The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown and if you love some magic I simply adored this story. Thank you so much for all you do for the community! That starlight basket is also on my to-do list!

I finished my very first Hexa cardigan sweater but I used a heavy weight yarn and it’s just a little bit too heavy. It’s nice for winter but I’m now looking for a lighter weight yarn. I stopped half way through my 2024 temp blanket because I received a very nice flatbed knitting machine and have really gone down that rabbit hole! I LOVE the bingo card idea for crochet projects!!

What I'm working on right now is the Azami Sweater (you can find it on Ravelry) using a light fingering/heavy lace weight yarn (sort of marled emerald green/royal blue with a shine to it). It combines cables with lace for a round yoke (with an option to add beads - I'm skipping the beads because my yarn is so beautiful I think the beads would take away rather than adding to it.) Behind that I plan to do a pair of Thrummed Mittens (also on Ravelry) which use a special technique to create a super warm lining.

[@deborahpasha9727]

So far this year I have started and finished a blanket big enough for a full size bed and a 4 piece layette (blanket, sweater, bonnet, and booties). Also learned 3 new motifs. Just stared a new full size blanket and planning 2 more layettes.

Your procedure & journaling habit for the mood blanket makes me think about maybe doing one of my own! I‘ve been keeping a five-year daily journal since 2022, and I use different colored pens to write each entry depending on my mood. It’s in no way the introspection and analysis you are clearly putting into yours, and is mostly based on vibes, but it would be an easy enough to just translate the colors of the entries to yarn.

Hope you feel better soon Toni. Love the Yarny bingo idea. It seems more fun than the Google Keep list I have that says "Ideas I can work...no pressure". If it makes you feel any better in 2023, my husband and I had two weeks in the US. We both had COVID for the first week then I had a sinus infection for the second week. I did not feel anywhere near better until we got to my husband's home in Trinidad. It was hell though we look back and laugh since we did have a lot of fun. But definitely agree on wearing a mask on the plane from now on. Those things are germ factories

Gday from Victoria Australia. Hope your head clears real quick. I'm currently working on handspinning a blend of alpacca and 21 micron wool fibre into a 3 weight yarn in several shades of dark brown, taupe and cream. I'm using this to crochet a "freeform granny spiral" jacket. The best bit (for me) ... to make spirals in opposite directions I've taught my right-handed self to crochet left-handed 😮. The tension isn't identical yet, but it really increases the fun of the challenge. Hope everyone enjoys their making as much as I do. 😊

Wishing the best for your health, Toni 🥰 Where I live, I don't have access to most yarns I see used in your or Elise Rose Crochet's videos. I try to utilize my stash - sometimes making amigurumi, now working on baskets and bags. As of this video, I'm working on my first piece of the Tobago Bag in nonbinary pride colors. I'm excited at how the parts will work up! I crochet while not helping out at my parents' farm. I tend to watch video game playthroughs, currently Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney with an Actual Lawyer. I'm happy to hear about your collabs and upcoming goals. Take care

I have a ton of wips too haha. My currently working one is a birthday gift for one of my nieces. She's VERY into dragons, and she loves the color orange. So I am making a crocodile/dragonscale scarf in orange, orange mix (impeccable hot sunshine), neon orange, and a vintage rust yarn. It looks SO COOL and I'm only a short way through. I'm hoping that I can make time to make the Maple Sweater. I love it, and I want one so badly! ♥ Even if i don't win, I'd be learning something new, which is enough for me!

Oh my word how I LAUGHED at 1:25!! I have been refusing to kiss my husband on the mouth for the past 2 weeks for this reason! He has been so sad lmao. But I'm like, honey we have 2 kids/germ factories in grammar school, we are in our 40s and a simple cold knocks us flat for a week! My husband gets bronchitis almost every time he gets a respiratory bug these days, and then he is out of commission for an extra 2 weeks. I can't deal with it anymore lol. So no mouth kisses until cold season is over!! As for projects, I have been stress crocheting sunburst squares since MLK day. It keeps me from doom scrolling the news and bursting into tears at random times through the day. 😭 I am still a newbie crocheter, having just begun learning in November, so I am slow lol. But I am making a doll blanket for my daughter. Now my other daughter wants one as well. After that I need to get to work on a memorial quilt for my MIL using FIL's old shirts. I want to crochet a chicken and poncho for my husband, a cowl and sweater for myself, and start making blankets for Project Linus. So thankfully I have plenty of projects lined up to keep me busy. It is really so therapeutic in these worrying times. Thank you for being here to help us find community!

I have liked the idea of a temperature blanket but find tracking temperatures terribly boring. But then I came across the idea of making a 2025 book blanket! I will be making a granny square for every book I read/listen to this year. Each square is designed with colours to match the book cover!

I feel you about January 29th but I refuse to go down without a fight. Thank you for being a bright light in the darkness.

Whenever I fly I try to go to the hotel immediately and take a shower and change clothes. I've never caught a cold from a plane so I swear by it.
