WIPn IT WITH JUAN #8! Let’s Crochet and Chat!

[@Haunted_Ham365]

You're officially my new WIPpin' buddy! I had to look up what the hell a WIP is. I truly feel like I'm crocheting with a friend 😸 right now I'm WIPpin' granny squares with hearts in orange and blue Bronco colors for my husband's Oma (grandma 👵) Thanks for sharing your kindness and hilariousness with the world! 👽👻😺🫶🏻

[@MaryWalker6460]

I appreciate your comment that you want to be, “your yarn buddy “ . You know, all I do is work and come home and crochet and listen to KZbin. I’ve been following you since you started and I love your content because it’s like visiting a friend or going to a LYS to stitch and visit. Thank you for keeping me company and making me feel like I am not a lone. It means so much to me! God Bless!

[@Beeknottycrochet]

I couldn't have said it any better.

[@favouritemusic8959]

Hi Mary And l am Mary too. I love watching Juan too and he does keep me company. I have family problems at the moment and l feel so lonely and worried about things. Sending you blessings from Mary in Ireland 💚

[@donnajenkins4918]

Juan two years ago I became wheelchair bound - I was so depressed - layed around feeling sorry for myself - then I found you, Shannon at another yarn and bod - it was life changing - I cannot thank you guys enough - you made a great difference in my life - I can't thank you enough - love you guys so much

[@LindaWright-w8k]

Juan. I’m retired and I have no one around the house all day after my son goes to work and then he comes home will possibly eat or leaves 40:32 to go to his girlfriends. So I don’t talk to hardly anyone all day. I started watching you cause you have become company for me. 😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@Jammn126]

Join the retired life…😊

[@SusanRBruce6]

Juan, I'm sitting here listening to you & working on my corner 2 corner. A sweet lady I met thru an online crochet group gave me a bunch of yarn as she was losing her eyesight. I am continuing the c2c blanket she started with this beautiful caron cake. She became a friend, but sadly Ruby died very unexpectedly a bit ago. I love working on this blanket, now it's in honor of Ruby. I definitely consider you my yarn buddy, I only have 1 person who crochets . Thanks for everything❤️🥰

[@Beeknottycrochet]

I just love wipn it with Juan. It's so personable. You do make my day when I get to see your videos. Unfortunately, I can barely make your Sunday lives. thats our family weekly get together for dinner. So now I'm trying to catch up on replays, but I'm having extreme FOMO 😂😂 Thank you for being our yarn buddy❤

[@ElenaKrane-pe1gp]

Dear Friend, you are the Bob Ross of the crochet world. I am new in the crochet community and I am so glad I found your channel. I really enjoy all your videos, thank you so much for all the things!!!

[@lizfletcher5484]

I love listening to you while I work on WIPs. Every time you say " all the things" I have to smile, that is what I have on my craft room door. I love trying new things. I also take projects with me everywhere. Glad you're here with me.

[@pennyshrum4395]

I love having you as a crochet buddy 💜💜💜 Being a positive light! Self care too!

[@simonebannan3622]

I really love your videos Juan. The wip’n it with Juan feel like I’m sitting and knitting/crocheting with an old fiend. Thank you for being so authentic and genuine ❤️

[@penboltonvt]

I love that you've started crocheting in other places, Juan. I take mine to the park in the summer on a nice day, and I also crochet during our monthly staff meetings at work. It makes the time go by faster. You're the best crochet buddy ever! Hugs!

[@jenniferruckel3954]

Hi Juan, ive been gone for awhile and trying my best to catch up. You are so easy and relatable and i love watching. I wish my mom was still here😢. She had been in and out of the hospital for the last year and passed away this January. She lived with me for the past 7yrs full time and at times was hard as she had dementia. My home hasnt been the same since. But you are so wonderful to watch. Thank you so much.

[@mindymcintosh1]

I love your yarn videos I am a new subscriber and I love yarn I have been crocheting for 35 years my aunt showed me when I was ten she died last November 8th of 2023 and even though I am sad crocheting still helps me . And your videos make my day. Thanks and I love the corner to corner best.

[@ruthieshields189]

Hi Juan! I’m trying to catch up on the videos I’ve missed due to work. I love sitting, crocheting, drinking coffee and talking about all the things with you. It’s the absolute best part of my day. When you said you sounded like an anchorman in your podcasts, I immediately thought Juan Burgundy. 😂🤣 Thanks for spending time with us. Hugs to you and Momma Wilma! 🥰💜🧶

[@jacquelinerichardson2240]

You don’t have to give anything away…. I just enjoy seeing you!!!

[@pattischoenbein5618]

Yes Juan, I very much appreciate you being my yarn buddy. I’ve been crocheting for 55 years and I’ve never had a crochet buddy, especially a left-handed one like me ! No one was into crocheting. Tonight, I was sitting here working on a triangle scarf and had to frog some of it five times. I was so frustrated and upset, and then you came on with your calming voice and calm me down somehow all the stitches worked out with the right count and I moved on from that point. And then you mentioned the part about being our yarn, buddy. I don’t know how to tell you how much that touched my heart and I just wanted to thank you for being here 😊 💚🧶💚🧶💚

[@QueensCurlsCreative]

Good morning and happy friday! I´m crocheting, having coffee and hanging out with you. I so appreciate these videos when you are just crocheting with me. Big hug🤗

[@edwinafranitti1851]

[@nixz8012]

No veggies you crack me up. I stopped my WIP to drop you a comment. Oh my socks hilarious. Thank you for bringing the giggles to my night. Cancer survivor, we not all about just hats, positive mini pillows are great too as something to hold when you go through a lot of pain and need to hug.

[@buttetpigentruntets5801]

I lov your giggle, too many people forget to laugh. Bless you ❤ Greetings from Denmark, Susan 🇩🇰

[@jeffkathywhitaker]

Hi Juan! I bought your Genesis pattern on Ravelry, and in my humble opinion, you didn't charge enough! Your pattern is worth at least $5-7. Don't sell yourself short! You are an amazing designer/creator, and you mean so much to so many people. I can't wait to make Genesis. 🤗

[@Bellemouse2001]

Thanks Juan! Working on wip while watching. 😊

[@conniewagner4234]

[@SandyDandyAdams]

Hi Juan 😊 thank you for sharing! ❤❤❤ When you first wash your cotton shawl, give it a soak in cold water with a small hand of Epsom salt and splish (little more than splash) of vinegar. It will set the colors and make them pop! 😁😁😁

[@donnaknox400]

Hi Juan!! As a fellow leftie, I really enjoy watching you crochet. Keep doing all the things.

[@Kwavma]

Hi Juan! 💜 That quarter panel is so pretty! Good job 👍🏽 AKA Kathy

[@sandygrogg1203]

Juan, this is my favorite type of podcast. I can either listen while doing something else or I can sit down with a project and enjoy the company. This morning your voice accompanied me as I got ready for church., You were with me when I found my earrings in The kitchen garbage can. I live alone, so don’t get to talk very much. So, I totally identify with you loving to just sit and talk with us. I’m the same way. Period. I am 8.5 years old, and I am legally blind due to glaucoma. However, just like your mom, I still crochet. I am finishing up a beautiful, granny blanket to put into my big. Boggy Brigade container. A rectangular or grain blanket is already in there. The one I am finishing has big blocks of turquoise, purple, yellow, shocking, pink and spring green squares. Where was boarded in white, and I used white to join them. I used your method of joining for the first time, and I have to tell you that I really like it. I only got one square backwards, and that was green. I am planning another big block, granny blanket, but this two solid colors. As you might have guess, color is my thing. I love bright colors, and was surprised to see so many otherwise beautiful blankets done in cars more suited to adults. Kids love color, so that’s what I’m getting them. I have to admit, though that I’m very tempted to keep this one. I just love it.

[@premieryarns]

Very enjoyable video! Thank you! Have a wonderful weekend! Keep bringing more love and joy into our world through your wonderful works of art created with yarn!

[@originalstitches6125]

I love this channel, and I don’t even even crochet but when you were doing your crochet work, I pick up my latest knitting project and I do love all the yarn. Keep it up. I live alone and I do enjoy your company.

[@DanetteSWhite]

Hello Juan. Love the colors in the C2C panels. It's going to look great when completed. I do crochet any and everywhere. Have project bag, will travel.😊 Warm wishes to Ms. Wilma

[@roserenik6375]

I understand about your Mom, my mother is 82 years old and tries to tell me at 62 what I should be doing in all aspects of my life and gets mad if I don't follow her advice. I am an Registered Nurse of 40 years and she tries to tell me what medicine to take for all ailments. Frustrating. But we gotta love them and be grateful that they care enough to try and"HELP US"

[@sarahjones9686]

Juan I Really Love The Way You Work Your Crochet Needle It’s All The Things I Have Learned A Lot From Your Video Thank You For Sharing All The Things I Am A New Subscriber About Four Months Now I Get All The Notifications So I Guess Means That I Am A Subscriber I Will Be Eighty Years Young May 28th I Didn’t Know About Crochet’s Channel Until About Seven Months Ago So I Am Very Excited About This I Just Love This Way You Do All The Things And The Way You Take Care Of Your Mom If This Makes Sense 👍🏽👏🏽👀♥️🌺💜🌸💙🦋

[@oursoulsjourney5123]

Hi Juan, In the past, when I was working with an over saturated yarn, I added 1/2 cup of white vinegar & 1/2 cup of salt into a sinkful of very warm water. I soaked my FO for 2 hours. I wrung the FO and rinsed it in cool water. This helped set the color and stopped the bleeding. Then I hand washed the FO in cool water with detergent, rinsed, and soaked in water & fabric softener. It worked for me. I hope this will help you.

[@oldmomma56]

I am counting on you to teach those stitches and “all the things”! I have my son and his wife to pick up hooks and a bunch of yarn I gifted them! They want to start crocheting, but all they can do right now are wonky granny squares! I gave the yours, Crystals, and Naztazia’s names and a couple of others to catch on the KZbin Streets!

[@suewaye720]

Thank you Juan I just found your channel today. I watched an episode and liked what I saw. I haven't crochet for over 30 years so I'm very rusty. So I am seeking to learn new stitches and to make all sorts of different projects. Loves from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️

[@denisedavis4691]

I love to listen to you talk about what ever you want. I enjoy all types of yarn and to see the older yarn.

[@PaigeIrene15]

Juan I’m glad you’ve carved yourself a home here in the community. I find your cake videos so relaxing for some reason. I just love the process and it’s helped me to want to cake up all my yarn and make scrap cakes. Which with my yarn winder can be very annoying… idk if it’s me or the winder but it’s not like yours and yarn will get stuck in the gears it’s so annoying!

[@reiki11]

Thank you Juan for visiting with ME! I live alone and having a smart tv, I can have you and other yarny peeps pop in and visit. Being an introvert, it's great I don't have to talk back 😂

[@bluerosecrystalsoul]

Thanks for keeping me company, while I also continued with one of my WIPs💜🧶💜

[@DawnEllison]

I'll happily be a "yarn buddy"! I love to crochet and yarn and, as,you say, all the things. I have an idea for your Spin the Wheel: Water Bottle Holders! Spin the wheel, let it pick the stitches you use! Only an idea but it might work😊

[@lindahammond6674]

Thank you for being my crochet buddy.

I just received two Ice Yarn orders today the second order is picso purples & blues plus I got picaso in shades of green. Brightened my day. Now I'm enjoying my time with you.

[@matty4042]

Hi Juan, so glad to watch you as our yarn friend. I don't have anyone to talk to about yarn and watching you fills that need. Thanks for coming on and keeping us company. I'm usually a lurker but talking with you is easy. Thanks Juan.😊

Whenever I am feeling sad or overwhelmed with my daily life I will sit down and watch one of your videos and just like that I am in a much better place. I am always happy after watching you. Thank you Juan for giving me joy and peace.

I have used salt when washing yarn which may run or bleed into other lighter colors in my kitchen sink or tub. Works every time. Just a little suggestion for all. ❤

[@roserenik6375]

I am suprised that you can crochet at work. Love the corner to corner you are making, I did that on a corner to corner but on the decreasing side, I did not notice until I was nearly finished, YIKES!!! Do love the Mainstay yarn over Red heart superSaver yarns. They are softer, and do always carry the basic colors so you can get white, black and red and mix them with other brands to get what I need in colors.

[@CreationsbyJax]

[@Shannon_SammysTreatShop]

I got some work done on amigurumi while watching. On the Spin The Wheel ideas going into spring and summer is bottle bags. I got the idea a couple years ago when my best friend was dog walking in 100+ degrees. Another thought was mug coasters and matching cup cozies. I did those as teacher gifts last year, and they were a big hit.

[@oldmomma56]

Very colorful corner to corner project!

[@sherriscrochetcorner5286]

I am a Leo too. I love how you explained the need for reinforcement. And I would so love to have you as a crochet buddy. I am in Virginia. I am so happy I have found your channel. I would live to be a member but most of my free money goes to helping with my grandkids. I am a single mother just trying to get by and crochet is my haven. I would also love advice on how to get motivated to do more content on my channel to grow it.

[@LoreneReed1]

I’m really liking this blanket. Love all the small talk I think I crochet faster when I’m listening to you talk about as you say All the things lol.

[@lois659]

Hi Juan. I remembered some avocado colored yarn that was left over from a throw my mom made in the 1970's. I recently looked online to see if that yarn still existed and discovered that it was pulled from the market because the 'mothball' coating was found to cause cancer. I hope that when you discover vintage yarns that you realize that some of these yarns could have chemicals that may have been harmful from years past. We want to see you healthy and present!

[@kathyashley7199]

I love listening to you and I crochet/knit with you. I also talk to you. I am from south Louisiana, about 1.5 hrs North of New Orleans.

[@Ryan-Hexx-RN]

You sneaky crocheter 😜. I love these little chats, and I saw the last vid with your mom, I think that was great. I lost my mom a couple of months ago, and your channel is one of three, that made me smile and helped me pick up my crochet hooks again. Thank you for everything you do and your corny humour is wonderful. Thank you for becoming one of my crochet or yarn buddy 😅. What do you do for work? As my name says, I have been an RN for over 23 years.

[@tammyholt1855]

I love your giggle!

[@dianesass9901]

Hi Juan. I would like to suggest that you either give that piece a soak in a mild vinegar water bath before washing. Vinegar will help set the colors. I imagine you could add some to the wash water. I also thought about suggesting color grabber sheets during the wash. I hope these are helpful ideas 💡 Continued success friend. 😊

[@favouritemusic8959]

[@therealnancycarol]

Juan, I loved this so much! I thought I loved the ball-winding most of all, but these are tied for first place. Sitting here, crocheting and listening to you is a calming, soothing experience, for which I am very thankful. I wonder if you have ever heard of a crocheted, C2C blanket called Felix? It's a striking blanket, in my opinion, and I believe you could manage it quite well. There are free patterns out there if you or anyone else might be interested. Maybe you've already done it! I don't know. It's just stunning and not a fussy one at all. Please check it out and see if you'd be interested. I've enjoyed our time together. See you soon. Peace and happiness. 💕💕💕
