[@CodyFromCreativeGrandma]

@@cindyterry347 Thank you Cindy!!!! 😘

[@mommamimaashouse]

Your samples look great Cody. I prefer half double over the double as well. 😊 I still can’t pick a favourite colour, lol. They’re all so pretty. 😍

[@CodyFromCreativeGrandma]

@@mommamimaashouse Thank You!!!!! :)

[@lindaarchinal9008]

Thank you!

[@WhatCassRead]

I know this is an older video, but I have to leave a comment and and say how much I love your channel. My grandma has been placed in hospice and I’m grateful for the 38 years I got with her. I love that you two are creating together. Hug your grandmas everyone!

[@TamraAdkins]

I like how you snuck in your bee!!!

[@kathykupanoff6023]

You help us sooo much with all the swatches!! I hope you know that. Thank you both so very much! ❤️❤️ 🧶

[@JoyceN818]

I liked all the colors of the Impression yarn. After Cody made the swatches, I like them more. Thank you, Cody!🥰

[@roxiblair8861]

Hi Glenda and Cody. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing, I know it takes alot of time. Geez, almost like working a full time job. 😮 Thanks Cody for doing the swatches, how do you fit it all in with work, school or both..yikes! I'm sure your Grandma appreciates your help. Glenda, no apologies for taking care of family..should always be first 😉 do any of your children crochet or knit? Humm, tough decision, but my favorites are the Woodstock and Tye Dye 😊

[@marydomingue9902]

Beautiful Cody. You're doing such a great job and I know your grandmother appreciate you. Being a grandmother myself, grandchildren bring such joy to your life. Keep up the great work. ❤

[@jeannettetroise4577]

Cody you did an amazing job w/ the swatches. I especially loved the tie dye & rainbow swatches the best. Thanks for the wash & dry testing showing no change in measurements. ❤️

[@dawnlatorre8194]

Cody is doing a great job for a beginner. He has a good teacher. Love your color picks too.

[@AlrakWeaver]

Loved the brown one. I agree about the half double crochet. It’s also faster to use and it doesn’t take up much time or yarn. 🧶 Good job, Cody. I think C.G. is a great influencer 😊 🧶

[@DebraJohnsondone]

Prayers for your Mom, you and Cody!! Love you guys ❤❤❤

[@robertacortez8677]

I just want to say. You are doing a fantastic job with these samples. Love seeing you and your grandma have a beautiful day

[@laureenquist]

Hi!!! Thank you so much for working so hard on the samples Cody! They look great! All the colorways are nice, but my favorite is the Sandalwood. I enjoy Cody being on the channel. He has learned a lot from Grandma! ❤

[@LizKull]

Hi, Glenda & Cody. Thank you for the swatches. It's true about how different the yarn looks worked up. Cody did a great job, as usual :) I see the bee hovering around today, too. I hope your Mom will be okay, Glenda. Thanks again Cody ❤

[@ellenrichardson7129]

Hoping your mom gets better soon. ❤ I love seeing these yarns worked up. Cody you are doing a great job. Glad to see you helping out. You are a wonderful grandson 😊

[@paulalatham1266]

Cody you did a fantastic job on the swatches they all are beautiful work up

[@angelinewilson5851]

Glenda you are so blessed to have Cody helping you. I think he's doing an awesome job with helping, yarn swatches and his crochet blankets. Way to go guys! Love your channel! I just watched your baby booties tutorial so I could make a pair. Thanks again!.

[@laurasmith2223]

Good job Cody! Woodstock is my favorite then Tye Dye. I also like the idea of a video showing yarns worked up in different ways.

[@CodyFromCreativeGrandma]

Good picks! :)

[@kathyadams3366]

I agree, I love the Woodstock the best. Thank you so much for doing the swatch tests, it’s so very helpful!

[@pattiroyse]

All of those samples were beautiful!!! Cody you did an amazing job with all of them!!! I see that cute bee behind you Glenda!!

[@sherylb9670]

Thank you Cody and Glenda. Seeing the yarn worked up is sooo helpful. You never know what it will look like just looking at the cake/skein

[@SharonBlessedGrama]

I like the tie dyed worked up❤ I think my youngest daughter would really like this! Thank you for sharing this! 🙏🏻❤️🌹

[@DebbbieK1970]

Thank you Cody for the swatches! So helpful to see a crocheted sample as the yarn always looks so different than the knit samples on the labels. By the way, I love that the bee keeps moving 🙂.

[@eileenb7558]

HDC stitch is my fav 😂 i find it soothing to work almost meditative.

[@WendyLovesYarn]

Thanks so much for your videos...I look forward to your videos every day 😊 Keep up the great work and thanks for all your hard work Cody...can't wait to see the peppermint blanket!

[@CodyFromCreativeGrandma]

HOLY CRAP WHAT IS HAPPENING 😮 I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!! WOW! I'm shocked and don't know what to say! This means a lot thank you so much! So many hours of work goes into these videos we appreciate it VERY much! ❤❤❤❤

[@CreativeGrandma]

@wendys662 Thank You so much I am as speechless as Cody, your support of my channel is greatly appreciated. Thank You so much.

[@giniferdeming]

I love it that Cody is getting involved.

[@kimberlyperkins2469]

I love the no fuss swatch color. Thanks for sharing. Cody, you did a wonderful job on all those swatches.

[@chelenapavlova1562]

Hi Glenda and Cody, I Just want to say I have always loved your show, and I really love the ones with Cody. You Two make a perfect duo!

[@CreativeGrandma]

Thank You for welcoming Cody to my channel

[@Kendall.pkmerritt]

Thank you Cody for spending the time to make the swatches. I am making a granny hexagon cardigan for my sister in rainforest. I really enjoy watching you both.

[@elenaw6616]

Watch all your videos. Prayers to your mother, Glenda. I enjoy watching the two of you work together.

[@beverlypatzke236]

I would definitely buy and work up the yarn in the last sample. Never would have thought this until today. You two together are a real treat!

[@paulavance5096]

Way to go, Cody!! I think he deserves a raise. The last sample was my favorite and like Glenda I wouldn't have chose that color but seeing it worked up was eye opening! Thank you both! Blessings to your family.

[@rosemarielewis2518]

Love seeing a grand mom and grandson working together

[@lorrainebowden2683]

My favorite color Woodstock. I loved it when I saw it in yesterdays video and now that I’ve seen it worked up…I love it even more. It eminds me of the 1960’s boho hippie style …faded jeans and faded American flags. Love it! Nice job Cody on your samples. ❤

[@francesalexander1076]

Don't worry about us, your Mom comes first. Take care of her, and we will be patient. You, your Mom and your family are in my prayers.❤❤❤❤❤

[@debbienewton909]

Bee about to fly out and sting CG's ear 😊 Tie-dye beautiful! Rainbow beautiful too! Woodstock beautiful too! That last stitch is very nice!

[@ummmjen]

I love how the little bee cohost always moves around (:

[@cheryl-lylbaldr4560]

I just love love watching you two such a beautiful team opinions always vary very nice, love it.

[@KimberlyAtkins-r7f]

Beautiful colors! I love them all. I love that you two work together. Nothing more precious than a grandchild and a grandma! ❤

[@CodyFromCreativeGrandma]

Shes like a mom to me we spend a lot of time together!

[@LisaT_]

Cody is the man! Awesome. 👏

[@ceramicdiva]

Your channel has inspired me so many times and still inspires to try new yarn and new stitches thank you so much

[@terrywallace7882]

Lovely samples…made me like the yarn more. Really liked the stitches you used Cody! Like the idea of narrow and wider samples but hours and hours of work for you two.

[@cindyterry347]

Cody, try the moss stitch. It is one of my favs. If I want my piece to be a little more lacey I use a large hook.😊

[@deborahhinnenkamp2226]

Thank you Glenda and Cody….I’m happy to see other people now hitting that super thanks button. Happy shopping Cody! 🧶 Wow, you both are such hard workers for this channel!

[@CodyFromCreativeGrandma]

Enjoyed all of Cody's swatches . I especially liked the tie dye and the rainbow colors and I'm a fan of the no fuss sbitch & V stitch.

[@beckywilcoxson2294]

[@charlottebarnes6761]

Cody a sweet heart. Great young man and do talented.

[@judyinmichigan3418]

Cody, you did a great job. I find these very helpful. I liked the last one, I think that the color way was much prettier after it was worked up. Thank you for taking the time to do these for us.

[@lydiaberg5392]

Good evening Glenda and Cody I cannot wait to see the Mandela impression crochet swatches tha you and Cody made! Wood stockThe was my favorite at First Sight also I can't wait to see if my mind has changed? I think the colorway rainbow turned out really beautiful! I really think the sunset colorway looks beautiful in the plain Jane half double crochet! The sunset is my second favorite colorway! Woodstock was my favorite cake cake and it is still my favorite color!

[@diana4353]

Thank you for showing us and the icecream yarn is one of my favorites thanks for doing it too!

[@jackiebechler8823]

Thank you for the swatches. Very hard to pick a favorite!! Tie Dye is pretty vibrant and probably leaning towards that one!! Great video!!

[@dianabulaga5599]

I think the last one is my favorite. ❤️ You guys are the best with doing swatches! Hands down. What I like about this yarn is that it seems like it looks good whether you crochet or knit with it. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@sandylawler6104]

Last one is my favorite too Glenda...I made a noggin with this yarn just love it

[@jeannestout8770]

I love the last one and the stitch too!

[@KellyAnneCalabrese-si6wb]

👋 Glenda and Cody! Okay, so I change my mind. My new favorite is the Woodstock. ✌️ 🌞

[@judybs1]

Cody is the best❤

[@mailonez1]

Love that you have Cody in your videos! I love that Mandala Impressions yarn and I plan on getting them and making 5 round of granny squares and making a huge granny squares blanket for my bed. Thanks for the samples, they are all beautiful. Happy New Year!

[@wyomingwips7540]

Beautiful job Cody!! Lion Brand has such pretty yarns, I really like the Woodstock Color, but they all are so pretty. Thanks for sharing, Blessings Always 💕

[@tinasanders6955]

After you generously made and showed us the samples, I ended up liking the woodstock color the best!

[@wendyschmidt4339]

[@beverlynickerson2544]

Thank you Cody for working up the samples. Thanks to both of you for the video!

[@nancyraymond3381]

Hi Cody and Glenna, I'm really loving that Woodstock. Better see if I can get on Lion Brand before it's all gone. It takes me so long to make anything, I am such a perfectionist. Thank you guys! Dye tie is beautiful too.

[@marciagross4985]

Thanks for working up the swatches. I think I will use the brown for a winter blanket for my grandson.

[@PatriciaGreenberg-ry5uy]

Great job on the swatches Cody.I like the tie dye.

[@annwickham4332]

My favorite was the Woodstock before it was worked up and more so after it was worked. Thank you for sharing

[@judicovey9835]

Love the idea of long & short samples of a yarn!

[@Steven-vo8tk]

Great job Cody on the swatch's,

[@amandafoxton6463]

Well done Cody, you are very dedicated to your crochet and your Grandma. I liked the tye die one the best and I would make a children’s blanket😊

[@cathymickelson2727]

Thanks! All the colors look great worked up. Great, concise presentation. I do enjoy the shorter videos , getting to the point. You are both achieving that for me. Another yarn for me to ponder.

[@cindyterry347]

I see the bee, it is ready to fly

[@EmilioThumbgusset]

We knitters call that 'fuzz' 'bloom', and we quite like it!

[@bethtisdalestaton7250]

I L💖VE All of them but the Woodstock was & still is my Favorite & like Cody, I love the Tye Dye also 💖🌞. Thank Y'all so much for the Swatches and the Wash & Dry Simple also. You Guy's Rock 💖💖💖🌞!

[@kayefudge9469]

Thanks Cody for making the samples! I really tie dye colour Kaye 😊

[@cynthiawicklow5942]

Your bee keeps moving🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kathy794]

I always check for the bee!

[@debrahypes2130]

Cody you did a great job 👍

[@DawnEllison]

Four hours? Gosh Cody! That tye dye color is absolutely beautiful! You're doing an amazing job 👍

[@CodyFromCreativeGrandma]

yeah id say about 3-4 hours per sample

[@DawnEllison]

@@CodyFromCreativeGrandma wow! I'll spend months on just one blanket though. Took me about a year and a half to make one for my bed

[@cherylshepherd5602]

We greatly appreciate the time Cody invests in creating his swatches so that we may get a truer idea of the various yarns & stitches, BUT also being a new crocheter myself, I realize & so does everyone else, how much time is involved with crochet & it just seems he feels the constant need to remind of us that in every video. It almost puts a person off. Other than that, I think you guys are great!! ❤

[@CreativeGrandma]

I just think because he is new to crocheting he is over whelmed sometimes by how long it takes him to do the samples.

[@sdmcdaniel2255]

They are all beautiful! As for my favorite, I can't decide between the first one, tie dye, and the sunset. I've been wanting to make a big bulky sweater for a long time, I might give one of these yarns a try!

[@OurTreasuredHome]

WOOOHOO!! Cody what a beautiful job on all the those blankets. I really like the rainbow but they are all adorable. I would make blankets or scarfs out of them Thank you for shairng God bless

[@NikkiAronson-h2z]

Thank you for the swatch videos. I am homebound and must shop online so thesr videos help tremendously when I am inspired to work on something new.

[@bethtisdalestaton7250]

Hello Glenda and Cody 🌻🌻💖💖🌞🌞

[@jeanninehoover4878]

[@RaynaCammack]

Great job Cody! I love the tie-dye, rainbow and Woodstock! Take care of your Mom Glenda we can wait on the tutorial! Thanks for all the time you put in making the swatches! Appreciate your videos so much!
