Where Have I been in the past 18 Months???????????

Hello my loveys...I decided to post this video completely Unedited so you can get an idea of the frame of mind I was while filming this content.
Love you all....Missed you all
ko-fi.com/anno...

[@jeannettebiddle1450]

So glad to have you back. Take care of yourself first. This is your channel and you should not have to worry about keeping up with other people’s demands. You post when you can and what you want. ❤️❤️

[@lisashearin5197]

I am SO HAPPY for you! I was nodding throughout your video. I totally understand what happened, because the same happens to me. You were overworked, overwhelmed, and burnt out. I'm an author, and I'm working on my 21st book. I used to be able to write two books a year. Now, it's one book in a little over a year. The past few years have been so hard on everyone, essentially creatives. Our minds have to be in a good place to create, and that's been extremely difficult, if not impossible. You did exactly the right thing by taking time to rediscover yourself and what makes you truly happy. You needed time to heal, and you took it. It takes strength to step away. I'm so glad you're back, recharged and happy. When you're ready to take online orders at your store, please let us know. I want to support you and the small businesses you discover. I'll absolutely keep watching.

[@kimberlydavis6059]

❤so happy to see . welcome back

[@karenduenas6088]

So happy you took time for yourself. You are setting a great example for all of us ❤

[@utubeAgape]

I think this is the hidden truth behind having a successful KZbin Channel - it requires excessive time commitment and the intermittent ‘dark’ comments can harm our spirit. I am glad you took the needed break away from the frantic social media cycle that is easy to get trapped in! Congrats on changing the ‘model’ to suit your personal need for a sane approach to sharing your creative gifts. I hope your “dream comes true’ - you are awesome!

[@joycecampbell7340]

I am glad that you are back and you are well. May God bless you.

[@jayleengiovengo6421]

I’m thrilled your back and that your ok. Take your time coming back. We here will wait. Take care of yourself first. This is great news!!

[@StitchUponAStarr]

I totally understand how turning crochet into a business can take the fun out of it. I too found myself in the same position. I am wishing you all the best in whatever you are doing. ❤

[@KarenWimberley]

You have been sorely missed. Good to see you. I'm game for wherever your channel takes you. Looking forward to it. ❤

[@silviatancoecheverz7666]

Just be happy! Whatever you want to do is perfect! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 thank you to open your heart with us 💜

[@sabbya.8112]

Only show what brings you joy. Only film what you want , when you want. I think all of us grown in learning. ❤

[@rickyl8359]

Beloved Annoo . . . I know exactly how you felt. I’ve pretty much left most of social media. You have helped this 75 year old woman in immeasurable ways through learning how to crocheting . . . Thank you, Dear One. God Bless you and yours always and in all ways in Jesus’ Holy, Mighty and Victorious in the Highest and to the Uttermost Name. Amen and So Be It!

[@kerryburton9544]

I totally understand. You have to do what you need I too use my fibre arts as my therapy and I cannot imagine how much pressure you had piled on you Don’t worry about us .. always put yourself first You have inspired so many of us and have certainly taught me so much about designing just by sharing your designs So I will always be here watching and waiting for whenever you have time to share Love you 😘

[@sunshinesuzi5324]

Welcome back, we missed you…so glad you took time out to regroup and find your dream come true with your new fiber shoppe… Congratulations! Have a blessed day! ❤

[@bsbshhhahga6647]

ok😘😘👡👠👒💞💝💜💛💚💟❣💌

[@tonisjustknotright]

I have been praying that you were well. You were missed. I am so grateful for your tutorials, as they helped me create beautiful items to donate. Self and family should always come first. Do what ever makes your heart sing. Otherwise, what is life for. I always enjoy listening to people's stories and journals, I think many of us are snoopy that way.

[@stephanienorwicz1366]

Congratulations on your new shop and getting back to your love of fiber arts. Keep yourself the first priority and only do what you can. We appreciate you!!!

[@Cyndi159]

Omg I’m so happy to see you 😍 lets knit, crochet, lets craft all the things 👏👏👏 💕

[@kellyfazekas7831]

Everything you've said makes perfect sense and it's one of the main reasons I've not started a channel. I enjoy crochet as my avocation and don't want to ruin it by making it my vocation. I'm happy to see you back, in whatever aspect you've returned!

[@amywood2998]

Congratulations ❤ I appreciate you sharing your heart, your struggles, and vulnerability with us. I love your tutorials, but I also love learning new things and look forward to whatever it is you share in the future. I am a crocheter and I have been trying to learn to knit and find it so difficult- so I for one would LOVE to hear about your knitting journey and would love some knitting tutorials- no pressure! Congratulations on finding yourself again, and for having the courage to stay true to yourself. I know it is easier said than done, but do not worry about the negative comments/people. Your worth is NOT in them! You are amazing and wonderful and I look forward to any adventures you share! XO ❤

[@barbarajohnson1572]

I learned a while back.. "when the pressures on.... the fun is gone"... I am retired and now 76... living a wonderful life of getting up and doing NOTHING i don't want to in a day... (other than maybe a Dr. appointment)....be well... take care of yourself! My days now consist of making quilts... knitting , crocheting and cooking suppers!

[@ilanahulseyrea2161]

You taught me how to crochet, which is my solace, too. I learned so much, and thank you for this gift. But, I release you from any expectations or need to explain, period. Be true to yourself. Keep your boundaries so that you don't lose yourself. Play, enjoy your life, evolve in joy. We love and support you. ❤

[@paulohlsson27]

Hi llama, how's your day going with you?

[@melaniewillette1153]

So glad you are back!!! Your crochet videos are amazing! Thank you for your time and expertise ❤ I'm sorry you felt so much pressure. We love and appreciate all you do!

[@debbieparcels928]

Thank you Annoo for sharing. I wish I lived closer to visit you and your store! Be blessed, be well and stay balanced 💗

[@emmaperez8679]

Omg! I’m glad you’re back. It’s good to see you are well, congratulations on your new shop🙏

[@CoconutCrochet]

I love that you are going to make your channel be YOU! I follow lots of crochet channels and my favorite ones are those that just are themselves and upload stuff that makes them happy- instead of turning their channel into businesses that are very prim and proper. Have fun, this is your place! If you have fun, we will have fun watching!

[@Jillelen]

So happy to see you back and I’m happy you’ve found balance in your life. ❤

[@lialovesyarn4512]

So true , it is really about finding that balance in life .😊

[@christinaneal6867]

Hi Anoo!!!!!!!!! You were the second channel I came across when I began my new crochet adventure. It was about a year ago, and I’ve made so many of your projects ❤️ thank you for leaving us stuff to do because we need you! Congratulations on your new store! I dream of being a yarn shop owner too one day 🙂🤗🙋🏻‍♀️

[@angelsbear37]

I'm so glad you're back. I missed you and all your beautiful designs. Like you said, this is your channel. You run it the way you see fit. If people like it, they will watch and if they don't, they can move on. I pray that you will find happiness in this again. Don't let the bad comments bring you down. There will always be negative people out there who only spew ugliness. I love your kindness, your creativity and your soft-spoken way. If you decide to leave again, pay us no mind. Your happiness and contentment are what matters. That being said I'm still glad you're back and I can't wait to see what you have in store. God bless.

[@KSOKrafts]

So nice to have you back doing whatever you want.. I am here to watch! congratulations on your new shop!

[@lorturano4413]

Annoo! Wow, it’s amazing to have you back and to know you are okay and taking care of you! You were so very missed. I would be honored to follow you wherever you take us, whenever you take us there. A Yarn Shop! That’s beyond awesome. I wish you great success and much happiness in your new endeavor. WELCOME BACK! 💕

[@Suzanne_Is_Hooked]

OMG congratulations on your new shop, and welcome back! All the beast on your beautiful future endeavors! ❤

[@sharonpyyvaara6731]

So good to have you back. You were a big part in my discovery of crocheting and curing my PTSD. You really are an amazing woman ❤️

[@StephieRoseJadeSkye]

I know you are a very busy woman I don't know if you'll see this or not, but I just have to say I always loved your videos to learn or to just hear your calm voice, as you spoke of your passion for crochet. I think many of your amazing fans would agree with me when I say I will be here no matter how long of a break you need. Self-healing is so important, and you need to be able to have other ventures in life unapologetically. Also, if you want to take a break from crochet to do other things, travel, shopping, talking about favorite books or any other crafts, whatever you want, you can also share those things with us too. If it's a desire of yours to do that too. Or just do them for yourself (and family) and not worry about KZbin and just enjoy your life. You are such a pleasant and kind person, and we are so grateful for what you share with us of your life and passion. Lastly, congratulations on your yarn shop, that's so exciting! I'm glad to see you back and I hope you take it at your own pace from now on worry free (as much as possible lol) and just live your very best life. Thank you for all your beautiful patterns and sharing with us all.

[@The_Mermaid]

So glad that you are back, we have missed you! Now remember your own terms for coming back and do not overdo it again please. You do you. And it goes without saying that those who appreciate you will stick with you on your channel. Happy Crochet or whatever it is you want to create! xoxo

[@erikaespinoza6438]

Thank you for coming back and continuing to share with us your talent, passion and insight. I have learned so much from your tutorials, and while I look forward to new things, you have left a legacy of videos that I consistently go back to. :)

[@janb1472]

My favorite crochet channel for years. I am so happy to see your beautiful face and lovely spirit.

[@triciasage3749]

The very best of luck with your new venture. So glad to see you back. Like you, I love all crafts and learning new ones, so, I will look forward to see your new diverse videos. It really is so nice to see your smiling face and hear your soothing voice again. Please take care of yourself. Xx

[@veronicaallan-murphy4692]

I am so glad you took the time to find YOU - your mental health is more important than anything xx ❤

[@libralove6042]

Yay the audio came back 😊 so nice to hear your voice again! Congratulations on your new store 👏 I agree there should never be pressure to create videos if you're not inspired! Keeping light and fun is the best way 👍

[@ROXY-xw5yd]

Wow ‼️😳😳😳 miracle..!! I’ve missed you too💜🙏💜 Blessings and kisses

[@debbiefox6846]

Annoo I have missed you! 💕💕😘 So happy you have been well & nothing terrible happened to you or family.No shame in taking an " electronic detox" and bringing joy back to your life💕. I am excited to enjoy New Annoo on YT! Personal growth is a good healthy thing. My last 18 months haven't been so good. Found your channel many years ago as I am not able to get out of the house much last few years but have many of the same interests that you expressed so feel your new content will be exciting and I'm looking forward to your new videos. I've suffered "burn out & stress" in the past with supporting a huge group my daughter was involved with and I get it. It does end up taking control of other aspects of your life & personally for me and had to take a break. Glad you are well & took the long deserved break you needed. Excited to look at your new yarn shop! I've always thought you have wonderful taste in yarn & have purchased some of the same yarns in the past you used so Congratulations 🎉 on your new store. Have fun because life is too short! 😘🎊🎉💕

[@creampeonies2417]

OMG ANNOOOOOO IVE MISSED YOU❤❤

[@kbmightmight518]

OMG!!! It is so great to see you and that you are okay! I am ecstatic to see you back😂 You are my favorite designer ever❤ So talented and a great teacher🎉 Now that I've heard your full story, I fully understand! At one point in my life, I was working full time, raising a family, working on my masters degree and doing bodybuilding competitions. Afier 4 years of bodybuilding, I had to give it up and focus on the more important things. You do what you want and need in your life! We are just greatful those rumors were just that! I will keep watching your channel. I will visit your store next time I travel to Massachusetts 😊.

[@DanielWSonntag]

Congratulations on your store! I am 2 hours away in Shelburne Falls! In the past 18 months I learned the basics on how to dye yarn.

[@tiffanyjack6095]

You are so right! We all grow and change as the years go on. I find myself in the middle of a change right now. My oldest son turned 21 on the 22nd of May and then on the 23rd of May he closed on his very own home. He moved out that weekend. So now, I have an empty bedroom that is going to become my new craft room so I can bring my sewing crafts up from the cold basement. Bring the rest of my stashed yarn that is in totes downstairs, up here and into my new craft room and maybe, just maybe, it will stop me from purchasing multiples of yarn I already have. Probably not, let's just be honest here. 😂😂 While I am so excited to be able to finally have a proper craft room, I miss him horribly. It feels so odd to not see him every day after work. I am having a much harder time than I really thought I would have with this. I still have our youngest son at home. He is finishing up 8th grade this week and next week. Then he will start high school in the fall. He has plans to go to college (for now, that could change). If he does go to college, most likely it will be in state so he won't be far and will probably come home on the weekends if he isn't living at home. After all, we have 4 really good, major colleges within a 2 hour drive. I have expanded the crafts that I like to do, I found in addition to yarn and fabric, I like working on simple wood projects. Whether it is making a jewelery hanger from some scrap wood and hooks, or refinishing an old sewing cabinet that was gifted to me. I like them all. Oh, and playing around with my Cricut and vinyl or the ink. My youngest and I want to try our hand at some Tie-dye shirts this summer and then putting sayings on them. Just for us, if they work out, then maybe making some as gifts for Christmas. My point is, taking time to find your passion is never a bad thing. I used to make and sell handmade handbags, wallets (both men and women's) backpacks, duffle bags, overnight backs, crossbody bags, basically if it was a bag of any shape and size, I made it, even diaper bags and briefcases. I made them with cotton fabrics, lace fabric, silks, satins, cork, vegan leather and real leather, suede and lamb skin leather. I made a business out of it. I did it for about 5 years or so, but it got to be where I was taking only custom orders and I wasn't afforded the time to be able to make what I wanted to make. After all, my tag line was Class and Sassy, You Can Have it All! So all of my bags looked classy as hell on the outside, but there was always a fabric, even if it was nothing but a pocket lining, that would have a funny saying. One of my favorites, and I still have plenty of this fabric, it said, "Put Your Big Girl Panties On And Deal With It!" Which also happens to be a favorite saying of mine. Lol It was a fabric Joann's used to sell. Not sure if they still do, but I think I still have at least 5 yards of it left.

[@BlackcatNZ]

Hi Anno, what a wonderful surprise to see you! Congratulations on your new store and so nice to hear what you have been up to in the last 18 months. Looking forward to seeing where things take you next 💖

[@kathywelch8722]

Oh my goodness,I was just thinking of you a few days ago. I wondered what you were doing. I’m so happy that you are back. I completely understand where you are coming from. When a hobby becomes a job there are more demands on you, it’s no longer a fun hobby,it’s become work. If I feel pressured to make an item, I lose interest in the project. Congratulations on your new store, I’m excited for you. You do what’s good for you and post when you can. I’ll be here to support you. 💜🙏🏻

[@reginaroberts7770]

Annoo!!!!! Yes!! I’m soooooooo glad to see your beautiful face, hear your lovely voice!!! So glad you are ok, I was so concerned about you!!!! Please take care of yourself sweetheart, you are such a beautiful person with an awesome spirit!!! Take your time, do what your heart tells you and have NO WORRIES and NO REGRETS!! You are so correct Crafting should be fun, your passion, it should make your heart smile!!! This is what you have done for me and soooooo many others!!! Be blessed and take care, so glad you are back and I’ll always follow you my friend!!! Can’t wait to create this new scrap yarn blanket and if you want to get rid of some yarn feel free to send it my way for my kids and seniors I work with!!! They are learning to crochet and loom knit!!! I’m so proud of them just as I am of you!! Stay well my friend and happy crochet, crafting, chilling, enjoying life!!! Much love, hugs, peace and blessings ❤ You are a phenomenal woman, keep up the amazing work and blessings on your new store!! I hope I can visit and support you one day soon!! 🎉

[@stephaniesavary127]

Hooooo Annoo !!! Quelle joie de te revoir! 🤩 Tu as bien raison de faire ce que bon te semble. La vie nous réserve suffisamment de contraintes; pas la peine de s’en infliger en plus. Quoi que tu proposes sur ta chaîne, je continuerai à te suivre car outre tes designs au crochet que j’adoooooore (oui, moi c’est le crochet mon truc), tes choix de couleurs et de matières (que j’adoooore aussi), ce qui me fait passer un très bon moment c’est TOI tout simplement. Ta personnalité, ta pétillance, ton humour rendent tes vidéos des plus intéressantes. Ne prête pas attention aux mal-embouchés qui prennent plaisir à critiquer plutôt que de passer leur chemin (et estime toi heureuse de ne pas faire partie de leur famille! 😅) Bravo pour ta boutique, c’est fantastique! Je te souhaite de t’épanouir pleinement dans tout ce que tu entreprends. En tout cas, merci de revenir sur KZbin Annoo, c’est une vraie joie pour moi! Et tout ce que tu voudras bien partager, je serai là pour recevoir. Je te souhaite le meilleur ❤👍

[@oddlyn638]

Du français C est chouette On est kk 1 à suivre 😂 Super ....👍🏻

[@karenkelly8530]

So glad to have you back. Found yourself, did what you loved. Missed you, don't let anyone bring you down. You do you ❤❤❤❤

[@rosbenz224]

Congratulations on your new yarn shop and on having the courage to step back and really evaluate yourself and what truly makes you happy! Im extremely excited to follow along on this new journey May the lord bless you and your family and all your endeavors!!!💛

[@mrsyukoncornelius1732]

So happy to see you, so glad you are OK! I did miss you, I totally understand and would be delighted to watch whatever content you do in your videos, I used to crochet for a KZbinr but I didn’t have time to myself so I had to quit because I love crocheting also for my family and friends and making fun things so I do understand to a smaller degree. You are a sweetheart of a person and I’ve always enjoyed watching your videos! God bless and happy crafting!❤

[@Twinkley1981]

Annoo! I thought you were burning out. Bless your heart. I’m glad I didn’t leave your channel because I was actually worried about you. I noticed you were back on instagram so was happy you were safe and well. 😊 I am someone who has always said no to selling my stuff or starting a youtube because I want to keep my hobbies personal to me and enjoy them in my own headspace. Plus in the world of social media you will never please everyone and people will always want more and more from a content creator. Most people just ask without thinking about the impact it can have on said person. We have a few of the same interests, crochet (I lost my crochet interest for a fair bit too) and have really been enjoying knitting again the past year or so. I absolutely love fish keeping too, I have a few aquariums myself a few mini ponds in my yard/garden that I’ve just set up and already they have their own little ecosystems starting up. So I’m totally here to support and watch whatever you want to post and I’m sorry things got too much for you. Btw if you happen to show your fish tanks in any vlogs I can always chat to you in the comments about them, if you wanted…because I could talk fish all day and don’t have people to talk to about them. Sending you lots and lots of love. I’m so happy to see your face on here again ❤xxx

[@paulohlsson27]

Hi Donna, how's your day going with you?

[@cherylpreston2605]

Glad you are well! So glad that you're putting your foot down and not letting others sway you from what you want (because a year and a half has passed, and they've moved on). But you've set an example to stop and reexamine how You need to live You're life. As Tabitha Brown says, 'cause that's Your business!' Thank you for signing up to share your talent because you didn't have to. ❤❤

[@julietait4644]

I would love even a very short video showing your fish and telling how you started. I've kept aquariums for over 25 years (had 5 at one time) and not once come across another woman with thiat hobby! Good to hear you're enjoying life more, I know how easy it can be to get super focused on one thing and get burned out. Looking forward to future videos 📹

[@bettablue2660]

Annoo, we are so alike in that I love crochet, watercolor, ceramics, needle work, and fish husbandry. I have been pleaded with many times to go into business, but I have always known that it would end up taking all of my love of the creative side of me. I am a French Canadian whose family originally moved to Leominster, MA, but I have been transplanted to Georgia now. I am so happy you’re back, and please post all of your creative works. Enjoy!

[@susieinthecountry4434]

I crochet my small amount of scraps for hats and scarves for charity. No worries about explaining your absence. Happy crocheting!

[@vanillaventi]

Wonderful to see you Annoo !!! Missed you, but glad to know you'll be back as you feel fit !!! Congratulations on your new store and that your MOJO is coming back !!! I know all your subscribers really appreciate your channel and the sacrifice and time you made for us but none here would want you to not be happy and burned-out, only to live your life to the fullest and share your tutorials and chats whenever you want , just glad that you and your family is well and good !!! Thanks Annoo !!!!

[@paulavance5096]

Change takes guts. I find it's always worth it. Way to go, Anoo! Life is soo incredibly short and should be enjoyed. Be proud of yourself. I doubt without doing it anyone knows the time and thought involved in creating content for social media. I'd love to visit your yarn shop but I'm in East Tennessee. I love your videos about yarn, especially luxury yarns. As far as KZbin is concerned I'll always be watching! Much love to you. Good luck on the new adventure. Sooo excited for you. Just don't forget to recharge ok? 😘

[@desislavazainska-papalexio9138]

Welcome back Annoo 🤗 I learnt how to crochet from you, from your lovely tutorials and I will always watch your videos. I'm up for whatever you post, change is a good thing 😉 Although I missed you, I am glad that you took this break and got rested. Much love and appreciation for everything you do 😘😘😘 P. S. Lots of success to your store!

[@samanthak5831]

I am so happy to see your smiling face. Congratulations on continuing your dream and opening your store. Fiber arts are therapeutic for most of us. The beauty of creating is joyous. I am thankful you have found your center again. Please do not put pressure on yourself. You are an amazing woman. Blessings

[@montwg79]

Yay! I'm so happy you're back and reclaiming your life! It is wonderful to hear your lovely voice again and I'm totally here for what comes next. I too am multi-crafty and sometimes end up in a rabbit hole of focus on one thing for a while, but always find my way back to my other lives as well. If you're not learning and growing, what are you here for? Sending big welcoming hugs, applause and accolades. And if I ever find myself near Weston, I'll be sure to have your shop on my list! 🎉

[@paulohlsson27]

Hi Wendy, how's your day going with you?

[@desireeschuler1593]

Annoo!!! Oh I’ve missed you ❤ glad to see your well 🤗 oh I understand exactly what you went through… I am a crochet designer thanks to you ❤ (very small only have a Raverly shop) but posting on Social media is so stressful I myself haven’t designed in months because taking a break too.

[@lindahinds8388]

So very happy to see you! I actually check to see if I had been removed as a subscriber because in the last 6 months or so you tube just at random will stop the subscription with no reason why. Then I checked to see when you last posted. It doesn't really matter because you are here now! CONGRATULATIONS on opening your own shop. From what I can see behind you I have no doubt it is stunning. You do what ever makes you the happiest. Once a week, a month, as long as you are being true to what you want. I knit, crochet, counted cross stitch, diamond painting, so I will watch what ever you want to show. Many hugs. Welcome back!

[@frankietune]

I am so happy to see that you are alive and well!! I have thought of you often, and wondered many times if you were ok. Good luck in your new venture!! I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you!

[@jeannakelly4174]

I just want to say how happy I am to see you. I’ve subscribed to your KZbin channel since you started your channel. I have made many of your designs. I love how you talk to people honestly. I think anyone that’s a fiber artist has been in the same place as you, KZbin can be a overly critical world. Congratulations on your own yarn shop ❤.

[@marygallinger648]

❤Hi ANNOO How are you ? So nice to see you again ,I have watched so many of your wonderful videos I picked up all the yarn 🧶 and set it a side . Hopefully I will get a chance to make more of your projects 😊I have made many and i will always visit and re watch your videos I always loved them still do . That’s wonderful you have your own store 🏬 I am happy for you ,its good to take time off to regroup ,every one dose it every now and again . Xoxoxo thank you 🙏 for coming back to us . Mary.

[@meinekids]

Annoo Sweetheart 💖 I am soooo relieved and happy to see you and hear your lovely voice. Have been thinking a lot about you, worried, feared ... 😮‍💨 Good to hear you were ok ☺️ I can imagine and completely do understand your reason to take the time off. Do whatever floats your boat. 🥰 Indeed chrocheting/knitting does help me going through these times. Started with your lovely Cocoon Cardigan back 2019/2020 and still working 😆

[@danam.8709]

Annoo MISSED YOU ... But... There is no audio, no sound !

[@ewesuallyyarning9515]

I can hear her.

[@YARNBARF]

I was having the same problem, but I can hear her now.

[@muisescro-knitdesignswanda615]

HI Annoo, welcome back, unfortunately there is no sound but you look great!

[@luvastandardbred8270]

Welcome back sweetie!! Even if you do one video a month, I would love to meet your fish! Annoo Designs could include your resin work , knitting, telling us about wonderful theater and concerts, whatever you want to share with us. I also listen to audio books while I crochet. Even share your favorite books with us?. So happy to see you back, healthy and happy. Ps...I've been horse crazy since I was a child When I turned 40, I got one of my own. I could have kept saying "I can't afford it." I didn't want to end up 80 years old and saying "I wish I had gotten a horse when I was younger.". I've had him 21 years now and he's a great love of my life. I'm SO HAPPY YOU DID IT! And that you're happy and proud. No reply needed 😉

[@dasalavric8662]

Annoo, dear, I’m so happy that you are back. I just want you to know, that though your beautiful content, you’ve thought me to understand crochet design and you gave me the courage to start working on my own beautiful designs, not just following the instructions all the time. I will always be grateful for your content and as a content creator myself, I completely understand exactly about what you’re talking about- I’m on the break from Instagram and blogging also for 18 months now and you again gave me a courage, this time to get back to my followers.. maybe with some crochet content. sending you love

[@janetmadsen8399]

Happy you are back! I have many projects of yours I have done or have in my to do project bags, my new thing is to watch crochet/ related videos while crocheting other projects, or lately just watching to relax and unwind. Glad your back I will be very interested in this new content, you have helped me develop my passion of crochet and looking forward to more of what you will share. Please take care of yourself first, the rest will come. Good luck with the store. My sister in law and I get together couple times a year to go on yarn crawls, when we plan vacations we look in the area for yarn stores and add it to are itineraries. I hope one day we can make it to your store. Best of Luck🎉

[@paulohlsson27]

Hello Annoo!! I just happened to be up late with the weight of the world on my shoulders and not able to sleep. So I decided to check and see what is going on on KZbin @2:00am and there you were!! At first I thought it was an old video until I noticed the title. I can relate to being burned out by the demands of a hobby that you once enjoyed. I’m kind of experiencing that myself right now. Glad you took the time to regroup and find yourself again. Congratulations on your new store!! I wish you all the best. Most of all, I am so glad that you are back. It’s like getting reacquainted with and old friend. You have truly been missed. ❤

Sooooo happy to see you again Anoo 💝🌹💖 Welcome back to us and to your lovely channel,really we've missed you so much 💕 And now we are so excited 💃 💃 💃 and looking forward to discovering your crochet store. Happy return.

[@marlenesandow369]

First of all welcome back. Missed you. So glad to c you are doing good. Totally get it. My family has been encouraging me to sell my projects. I thumb my nose to it for the reasons u mentioned. Knitting and crocheting is my passion and I don’t want to do anything to lose that. I make things for family and friends as a memory. Things when I’m gone they have those memories of me. It’s something I enjoy. I don’t ever want to lose that feeling with deadlines etc. I don’t ever want my hobby to feel like a job. Knowing me I would lose interest in something I love. I don’t ever want it to be a stress factor. I had marketing ppl approach me and my answer is always no My family doesn’t always understand that but it’s my decision. I want to keep it fun and enjoyable and not a chore or something I would start to dread. U need to be you and true to yourself. If ppl don’t understand that, that’s their problem and not yours. Do you 😊

[@mechellemcdavid1551]

Love you Annoo! So glad you are back💕. Pace yourself and enjoy life! I will watch your videos if it's 1 /wk., 1/ mo., or 1/ yr.! Love your patterns and have numerous of your crochet creations in my wardrobe that I wear all the time. Just so glad to see you back..so exciting!!!!

[@mommamimaashouse9511]

Welcome back Annoo! It’s so wonderful to see you again. 🥰 Congratulations on your new shop! 🎉💕

[@FrisianKnittingtutorials]

Thank you for sharing your experience, I recognize a lot from you and respect your choice. 😘

[@dewittlife802]

My heart was so happy to have your name pop up this morning. ❤ I am glad you are well and happy. 😊

[@bethmussig4371]

Great, to have you❤😊 back! You have been missed but your crocheting tutorials have been marching on, you have been recommended to many of my acquaintances. Your creations have been given gifts and l have bragged about your gift. I continually have been credited with being talanted and all l did was listen and learn. Enough if l keep going on you won't fit through the door into your oasis. Cheers, my dear, from Perth, Australia

[@donnad2934]

I understand why you felt the way you did. I have been crocheting since I am 10 yrs old and like you I love crochet but I have many craft loves. My family always says to me why don’t you open a store because you make such beautiful things and my response is “then it will not be fun anymore”. Glad you are back on your terms and if you have any haters just delete them ❤😊

[@lovelyladyanna3387]

Welcome back Annoo! Nice to see you again and have you back. Best wishes and big hugs sent your way. Thank you for all you do. Take care. 🤗♥️👋😁

[@GGTheCrochetQueen]

Welcome back. I understand. I only do one live a week and tutorials when I have time. I work full time and I am already burned out from work. I still want to enjoy crochet and I don't want to feel like it's work.

[@reneejohnson4361]

😊 Hi Anno! So Very Nice to see you again. Congratulations on your New Yarn Store! You're such a Sweet and Beautiful Person and We are all Very Blessed to have you in our Craft & Fiber World. Thank You so Much for all of your Wonderful Tutorials that helped to Encourage me to make something that I was afraid to try on my own. Please know that you are Loved and Appreciated very much. Always take Good Care of Yourself and your Family! ❤❤❤

[@Rebelhomeland]

Yes, we do gave to step back sometimes & take care of ourselves. I could never do a channel at all. I guess I have became more selfish with my time. And crocheting is my therapy. It's perfect! Except a couple of mths ago I began a crazy quilt journey & its addictive. New things you make are the best therapy of anything.

[@bethhasilo1536]

So glad you took this time for yourself. Putting out YT videos must be a grueling task even if it is your passion plus you then expose yourself to possible negativity which takes a strong person to overcome. I have often thought to start a small business for Crochet & my other passion, Wreath Making now that I am retired. However, I have decided not to do that because I don't want the pressure of deadlines to steal my joy & lose my passion for creating anything at all. Plus life happens & sometimes the Crafts need to be set aside for a bit. So I will Crochet or make Wreaths for Family & Friends (for free) which provides me enough work for an entire year...it just works out somehow. So please post whatever your heart desires because those of us who love to follow you will be here to support & enjoy watching. 💛

[@lpj7589]

Boy, did I miss you! I’m so happy you’re back and looking forward to any of your crochet patterns designs. Welcome home. Hope you are well and rested and are ready to pick up the hook.😊

[@ursulakonstantin8262]

OMG Annoo, I hate to hear all the stress, it should be fun, and about hobby. I modified your Carribean Queen Cardigan just last month for my summer hoodie & I just realized you've been missing 😢 (I was busy knitting too 😂). You know, from how I see it, you just do what you like. No need to design new stuff, like, every month. And I'm already happy to hear you read all the comments, but seriously, I think you don't have to reply every comment, unless the ones with important questions. You could just give a love to other comments. I wish you shop will be a good thing for you & your happiness, please, BE HAPPY! Awaiting our new future in youtube-relationship ❤

[@DanielWSonntag]

Very happy to hear you're well and trying to fully live your life. It's a very good example for us!

[@deannamcfarland3598]

Hello Annoo, I have at times watched your channel, there are so many to watch, I've watched so many men & woman crochet & knit. I'm glad you took a break, we all need it some time or another & like you said if you stop enjoying it, it's time to take a break. So glad you're back, refreshed and blessed with new ideas.

[@jasullivan2580]

I completely understand how you were feeling and why you needed to disconnect. Thrilled that you are doing a variety of craft tutorials! Thank you for sharing your talents. Welcome back!

[@janethighlands8244]

I am so glad you are happy and well! I lose the mojo too. I have to just get away from the crochet. I always come back to it and it is usually better than before. I hope your store does well! I have family near you, so maybe I will get to see it in person! Best wishes for the success you deserve! ❤

[@monikamarsollek3493]

🧶Hi, Annoo, thank you for sharing! I’m multi-interested, too and like to design myself, so I wasn’t really worried, just wondering. I suggested your channel to beginners who were able to follow in English and translated some videos or showed your wonderful art of making things simple. You would be astonished to see the combination of your designs with knitting… I love to combine! I even started to combine fabric with crocheting, starting with an old second hand dress. And every day I take my 'hour of reading', with a cup of tea ☕, at this time in the garden, following some book channels, like Miranda Mills… I admired how you could find time to 'feed' your channel so intensely… and congratulate your taking time for this break and now having a yarn shop!! After retiring I got a lot of suggestions to open a 'yarn café' … because if I sit together with others, it’s already a bit like that and I like to bake, too… But I hate paper work… so I do that in private and for free for people who like that. You’re so welcome back, love, Monika, Germany❣

[@paulohlsson27]

Hi Monika, how's your day going with you?

[@minini5571]

It’s so good to see you again! Your plan sounds wonderful!❤

[@VioletPapillon]

Hello again, dear Annoo! Glad to see you are back, and glad to hear that you took care about yourself. This is your channel, you do what you want to do, what you like to do. I for sure will stay on here. I realized sometime last year that i watch too many videos from crochet creators. It took away so many time and i found out that it stresses me that i can´t do all the awesome tutorials they make, be it because of no time, be it because i could not use whatever it was, and i found myself way too deep in this rabbithole when i looked through my ufo boxes... Turned out that i had over 80 unfinished projects in boxes and bags! Plus the amount of projects i worked on, 25 scattered around my house and each got a bit of time, some more and some less. That was so unhealthy, so overwhelming, so i stepped on the brake. Frogged half of the unfinished projects allready, sorted the 25 wips out in 2 boxes, one for "taking a break" and one for continuing to work on. I stopped trying to watch each and every video of the creators i follow. So now i have 3 days in which i check out my creators channels, depending on how much videos i watch it can be up to weeks until i finished my list. But hey, videos don´t run away and we all need to live and love our lifes! Life is short! We need to enjoy it, not being stressed out. So, welcome back! I will be here, hope you will only have fun with your channel from now on.

[@theastewart6721]

Hi Annoo. It was such a blessing for me to come into your shop and meet you today. Your shop is lovely! And I will be writing a very favorable review over the weekend. I’m so glad I’m close enough to visit and wish you much success. I totally get where your coming from. After I lost my mom in 2019 I’ve struggled to get my desire to knit and crochet back. And the last 2 years have brought continued loss in my family both young and old. 9 family members including my dad and 2 very close friends. It’s just been so hard to get back into it. And of course we had the pandemic. We all go through tough times and understand how different things can effect us. I’m glad you are true to yourself and I see happiness in your future. I’m so excited with my purchases! Your store is beautiful! Hope to visit again soon!❤️🤗🤗❤️

[@kaiduran528]

Annoo, I'm so happy you're ok! And I LOVE this new path! You sound like someone I'd to be friends with! Do your thing, Annoo!
