    I remember the first time I checked you out thanks to Crystal! Where would we be without Crystal!? I remember my first attempt to make a beanie! Total disaster! I am happy to say I have watched your tutorials as well, so off we go again!

    I was always told to be a gracious receiver as well as giver because otherwise you rob them of the Blessing of giving. To give is to be blessed.

    36:22 There once was a girl with a little curl right in the middle of her forehead. And when she was good, she was very very good, but when she was bad, she was horrid.
    Very old nursery rhyme. The card reminded me of that.
    Love the nostalgia and all the things ❤️

    Hi Juan, I loved this video because you hit the nail on the head about giving and receiving, and I think it's a special thing, especially amongst friends! I love that you are getting all the vintage yarns and can't wait to see the finished product, I think you had a good idea about making a wall hanging of all the vintage yarns ball bands, I have been saving all of my bands to add to a resin desk table I'm planning on making in the future. OH and that Nelsonwood Hook was GORGEOUS!! You totally DO DESERVE IT!!! You are a Great Podcaster and a Great Friend also.

  • @cathymickelson2727

    These vintage yarns were a trip down memory lane. I used Caron Dazzle Aire for many sweaters for my daughter way back. I know I still have some somewhere. Enjoyed the video. The Nelsonwood hook... what an amazing gift!

    • @stephanienorris364
      @stephanienorris364 10 місяців тому

      I loved the dazzle. Made lots of Afghan and sweaters. It was cozy and soft. I still use an afghan I made with dazzle in the 80s, early 90s.

    You should totally do a blanket with the poppin yarn(I love that name!). You can call it the Poppin blanket. Love the hook you got from anonymous. You are very deserving of all the gifts you receive. You are a wonderful person and podcaster and have touched and brightened so many with all the things you do. Thank you and may god continue you bless you and your mom.

    What wonderful happy mail - you definitely deserve what you're given. And you are so right - being able to give to other people is such a blessing and not everyone is able to do that so when you're given the opportunity to show your appreciation and it is recieved in such a kind way it has a very special meaning. You made someone out there very happy when he or she saw you open your Nelson wood hook. THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO!

  • @colorpagan
    @colorpagan 10 місяців тому +1

    Hey there I want to tell that when I was in school in the 80s I used a lot of the yarn colors. If I remember that color is mint tulip. ❤😊 I love watching ya'll in this video it brings back😢the time I helped mom in the 70s.😊

  • @TinyLittleBlessings
    @TinyLittleBlessings 10 місяців тому +1

    Fantastic vintage yarns and hooks! My aunt passed down a box of my grandmother's crochet hooks to me last year. Seeing that Kmart label took me down memory lane! Thank you for this channel and just being you!

  • @wandataylor6266
    @wandataylor6266 10 місяців тому

    Love all the things. The hook is absolutely beautiful. Nelson does a fabulous job. Your favorite color with a little extra. Very special. I’d love to see a peachy/ coral in one of his hooks. I know it may not be as popular but that’s my favorite color. I love all colors 😊 I love to see the joy in your heart and yes you do deserve it ❤❤❤

As I previously said, I subscribed in sept of last year. then traveled to Qatar for 3 mon. I started to watch after I settled down from my trip in Feb 2024. I never waivered. I look forward to watch your videos daily, weather on time or hours later, Especially we're 3h behind you here in Canada BC. Much love to you & your mom.

    WYSIWYG - Yes! That's why I love watching your videos while I crochet!
    The vintage card is so beautiful and reminds me of a poem I was taught as a child:
    There was a little girl
    Who had a little curl
    Right in the middle of her forehead
    And when she was good
    She was very, very good
    But when she was bad she was horrid!

    Thanks for sharing the Vintage yarn. Going to Woolworths was a must on Saturday's back in the 60s in NY. I was young but remember the yarn.
    TG&Y was the store in the 70s in Calif. It had yarn, material, accessories and everything in between. I do have a selected few of those yarns.
    Beautiful hook. Enjoy!

    @janecornell4890 10 місяців тому

    You have a lot of vintage friends!!! Tee hee hee 😝 I feel like I am at a yarn museum! I must have been a sneak. I don't remember buying a ticket! Some of that yarn is familiar. My mom back in that very early era would not waste her money on those yarns. Her feeling was if you are going to take your time and love, buy the best. Based on her circumstances, it was Red Heart. I laugh now. She should, and I wish she could, see my yarns.....they "ain't " Red Heart! I've come a long way baby!!! Is your fancy hook a combination of wood and resin? It is quite a showpiece!
