Juan, Love that you can't say no to your mother!!!! You have the patience of a saint frogging all that yarn!!! Can't wait to see the hat you make for your mother. Your holiday circles are gorgeous! Thank you for your support for the Premier Puzzle Yarn Collection! Your generosity is inspiring! Thank you.
Hi Juan, I’m sorry, I think it’s incredibly rude for people to ask you to give them yarn. You should never be made to feel obligated to give anything! You provide a service for us all to enjoy as we listen and learn to your yarny content. I’m sure it would be weird if we were to reach out and ask them to send us things of theirs. Just because you have it doesn’t mean you should give it away. Anyway, thanks for all you do. ❤ don’t get exhausted by all those ridiculous requests! 😩
I was going to type that yesterday when I saw his video abt the lady asking for yarn, I hate when ppl do that. Same thing they did to Crystal (BOD) then thought she was mean when she said no. Some ppl🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ ridiculous!! Well said.
You aren’t the first to be asked for yarn. There are some who get down right nasty if they don’t get the yarn. Don’t give into them. You worked hard to obtain what you have.
I knew as soon as I saw your last video that you would be BOMBARDED with yarn requests. It just shows your newness to the masses. Your heart is too big, I love your kindness and generosity. I don’t want your yarn, I want the content you provide. You feel like a friend. 💕
I was worried if you said yes to one person the requests would flood in. Its a hard NO. You provide content for those who wish to watch. Period. Don’t feel guilty. We are all responsible adults. Keep on carrying on with joy! Your channel is fun and helpful- thats way enough to give!
Ask yourself this please. What in the world would those self-same 100 people who expect YOU to freely give them your yarn do without you ? They would keep on doing what they have done all along which is buy their yarn from any number of stores and be happy w it. Please don't let people guilt you into giving away your yarn. You can always do it on the QT so no one knows which I fully believe is the answer, but that's me and my thoughts on this. Take care Kiddo, sit back and breathe. You've got this🎉🎉🎉🎉
Give the yarn to who you want privately. Crystal spoke about unscrupulous people. People don't mean to be awful but will take and take and take. You have heard her speak about how certain folks only show up for yarn give aways.
Yes sadly that's true, and look at what they did to her, they made her feel so guilty about having her yarn wall, to the point of her getting rid of it all. When I heard her talking about that it broke my heart, and I hope the same thing doesn't happen here. Some people are just terrible or greedy, they should be embarrassed!
You do want you want to do with your yarn. Don't feel sad that you can't help everyone. Personally, I watch creators for their ideas and personalities, not for what they can give me. If you never did another giveaway, I would still watch your channel.
Glad to see you set some boundaries around the yarn requests. Anyone getting mad at you for not sending them free yarn can just do some soul searching. As your channel grows you’ll attract all sorts I guess! I love that you get to try more high end yarns and see what you think! Use the good yarn, life’s short! ❤❤❤
Juan is like the new kid on the block, so he becomes an easy target. Hope he puts his foot down saying no. I don’t know why ppl think they can manipulate others into sending them stuff bcuz they watch a channel. The audacity!!!
Juan you are such a kindhearted person, who puts a lot of joy out into the world. I have red a lot of the comments about you being asked for yarn. I agree to an extent with some of the comments, there are people who will try to take advantage of you and it isn’t always easy to figure that out, but with that being said my mom taught me this growing up. You should never give of yourself or things if you are going to harbor any bad feelings after you have done it. I want you to know as well that I will tune into you with or without out give aways. You and your content give me so much joy and I look forward to whatever you want to share. You being you is enough and I love your ramblings and enthusiasm for all the things😊❤😊
Hi Juan! When I heard you say on your last video that you would send that viewer some yarn I thought “oh no”. Unfortunately, so many people will try to take advantage of you. No subscriber worth having would expect you to send them free yarn. So don’t feel bad for having to tell people no. When mandala yarn first came out Warlock was the color way that I instantly fell in love with. I promptly made a blanket with it and was like “blah”. I put it in the closet and it has been there for years. I recently came across a ripple blanket pattern from make do crew. It uses 1 strand mandala warlock and 1 strand Ferris Wheel in buttercup. I frogged that blanket bought some Ferris Wheel and I absolutely love the way this is crocheting up. The amount of color is amazing! Looking forward to your next video!
I always enjoy spending time with you 😊 I’m getting sick so thank you for making me smile while I feel crummy ❤ Never apologise or feel pressured to keep giving people yarn, sadly there are many who take advantage of kind hearted people like yourself and are only out for the freebies, sad but true (first hand experience) just be you, do you and stay true to you and those that genuinely care will be around forever ❤
Hi Sam!! I’m so sorry you’re not well!! Thank you so much for your kind words…means more than you know. As a content creator yourself I know exactly the position I’m in. Thank you 🙏 for the advice! xx
Juan, I agree with your Mom, store that mistletoe yarn if you don’t have inspiration now to make something with it. Also, make something nice with those purple hanks of yarn for yourself you deserve it. Your subscribers obviously appreciate you.
I love the title "yarn, crochet and all the things" and think that would be the perfect name for a you tube channel (if you ever decide to start a 2nd channel 😀). The things I love are when you say "all the things" and when you "go on a field trip" so you can show us the yarn from your stash that you are talking about. I look forward to each of your videos and could listen to you "yak about yarn" all day, every day. I too am a yarn addict but am fast becoming a Juan addict also!
Oh my, Juan you are too kind, but people will overwhelm you with requesting yarn. People who are capable of buying their own yarn. Do not worry yourself with that. Give it away as you like to whomever you like. Lovely happy mail! I am enjoying your channel! 💗👍😁
Hey Juan, your generous spirit is amazing. Please, don’t ever apologize for not giving away enough not giving away things often enough and not doing enough for others. Simply what you’re doing here takes enough of your time and energy that no one should be complaining. And as for those hanks of yarn, please man make something. They may look beautiful as hanks, but with the workmanship of your hands, you will make something magnificent!
Juan👋🏼👋🏼 I love to hear your comments about your momma. As a mom it’s so great to hear an adult child speak so kind and respectful 🧡🧡. Love that you’re being spoiled. Just be grateful (and you are) enjoy the blessings ✝️🙏🧡🧶🧶🧶🧶 Your videos are something I look forward to ✅👏🏻👏🏻
Please don't let people bother you. People should work 3 jobs like you and buy their yarn! You are so unselfish, caring and sensitive! Keep being you and keep the videos coming! Hug your Mom for me! Lisa in West Virginia.
I am obsessed with "hanks", and I order from Beautiful Knitters in London. When the package arrives, I close the blinds, lock the doors, put my phone on DND, and then just go into a yarn coma. LoveCrafts has a web site. Beautiful yarn. 😊
Juan, what a beautiful son you are!!! To say yes to your mama for something you do not care for without protest, my heart pounds with joy!!!!! Happy Holidays and thank you for bringing joy to me with every video of yours I watch. Victoria
Nope, nope DON'T start giving FREE yarn Juan!! Please DONT!! Be KIND & Say "NO"!! Honestly, Can't believe ppl putting u in that situation. Love yur content & energy! 😊😊💜💜🩶✌️
That is so funny about your mom’s hat. I just watched a bag-o-day video where she teased that you love pink hairy yarn. 😊 So sweet of you. I wish I had anyone who knits/crochets because I want to actually receive a hand made gift. That’s so meaningful.
I was concerned after your last video, that people will take advantage of you and your kind nature! I think your mum is right about shelving the Christmas yarn. Take care, love your videos.
Yahoo! Joy strikes again! It's so lovely to see you receiving love from your fans in the form of beautiful Malabrigo yarns. Both colors are truly spectacular (purple is my color, too). Don't hide them away - fondle them and look at them and let them tell you what they want to become. Store animal fibers in bags where they can breathe. If you are concerned about bugs (moths, silverfish, etc.), you can add sprigs of dried lavender or blocks/balls of cedar wood to the bags. ENJOY IT ALL!
You are so kind, giving and just AMAZING!! In MY personal opinion NO ONE should ever request anything from anyone…entering giveaways are one thing but to send a message to request yarn? Uh, no. You WORK for what you have and you do this and show yarn cause you’re a yarn channel!! I watch obviously tons of yarn channels and it’s the same with all of them. Does a mechanic get shamed for how many tools they have? I’m just saying!! I have enough yarn and I don’t even enter giveaways to always give others the chance to win! You’ll find the best way to do it! Thank you for your kindness as always!!
@RickSpringfield-zb6lz Hi Rick! I couldn't help but notice that your sending most of the ladies that comment a message asking how their doing or whatever. Whether or not you realize this but people are noticing that your doing this! This content creator doesn't deserve that there is some creepy guy in the comments harassing almost every woman (or who you assume are women) in his videos, I think it's time to move on, people see you!!
Hey Juan , Love your content. I get super happy when i get notification that you have uploaded . I enjoy watching while crochet or knit Sometimes i rewatch the old ones while i wait for the next . You’re awesome and relaxing to watch . Thank you for being here
Hi Juan, I love your content I enjoy watching somebody just like me. I sometimes think I bore my daughters, I really appreciate you taking the time to be here with us.
Juan, I wasn’t watching Crystal with BOD when this happened but people shamed her (or something) about having so much yarn to the point she got rid of it all. I watched a video of hers right after that I believe where she briefly speaks about it. PLEASE don’t let that happen to you. You absolutely 100% CANNOT give everyone yarn. Period. People who beg or ask are rude. There are going to be people who will send you nasty-grams because of it. I wouldn’t get in the habit of doing that or giveaways. Talk to Crystal. You’re a great person and don’t want you to go through what she did. 😊 As far as the “Christmas” yarn, I’m with your mom-shelf it. Thank you for your content and I enjoy seeing you. I learn something new every time I watch. ❤
I can't believe people ask you for yarn. I could possibly see it if it was for a charity, but that's still pushing it. 😮 FYI, Thanks for showing that puzzle yarn. That's the exact color I need, now to hunt it down. I love puzzle yarn. Great show today! Love you happy mail 😊❤
Postage is outrageous recently. I sent via UPS, 2 baby blankets this fall and it cost me more than $19. Yarn is available all over. Much of it is not expensive, let people buy their own. People will take advantage of you. Working more than one job, buying this yarn and then shipping it to people who want free yarn sounds financially non viable.
I think you are here to share your joy and our joy of yarn that all we need from you Juan all the things Juan is already fabulous ❤️🇨🇦🌈you are so worth it a sweater or a scarf you deserve it
I love that you want to help so many people by giving yarn away. However that’s exactly what you do for all the people who receive your blankets, hats etc. please don’t feel badly because you speak the truth. Your one person with a whole life & family outside UA-cam 💜
Hi Juan! So glad you posted today. I love that your mom is acting as your Creative Director.🥰 Crystal has a few hats that I’ve made and I think the cloche hat tutorial on her channel would look amazing in that hairy yarn. ( I no longer call it fuzzy, it will forever be hairy. 🤣) Much love you and your mom. 🥰🧶 Thanks for sharing.
Juan, I thought about sun rise and sunset when you described your possible project. I love your practice square with the purples. My heart melts when you talk about your mom and grandmother.
I love how budget conscious you are with yarn. I feel the same way. I keep thinking how much more yarn I could get with all that money. Thank you for all you do. 🧶💝
Juan, not too long ago I was a quilt fabric collector. I bought an expensive sewing machine with all the bells and whistles (never used many of them) and made lots of quilts for my family. I did not keep even one. Then covid hit and I lost interest in a short time in everything. I gave away my fabric stash, thousands of dollars worth literally. Last year I took up my hook again after many years and now find myself TRYING to not become a yarn addict. ❤
Juan, there are some beautiful people in our World. Enjoy your lovely colours of yar. which nice to see it brings smile on your lovely face. I seriously jealous with the beautiful, compassionate friendship you have with your dear Mum. My passes away 43 yrs ago. How wish for chat or coffee with her. Take care looking forward next session. from Tasmania Australia xxxxxxx
Hi Juan! The majority of us watch you for what we can learn from you NOT what we can get from you. 💜 I would use the Mistletoe yarn in combination with your holiday motifs and shelf the leftovers for next year. 😋 You are very generous with your time and those folks will crochet withOUT your free yarn! Just saying! By the way, anyone know who this Rick Springfield is that keeps messaging us??? 🙁
Better yarns are like petty your favorite fur pet, I love how yarn glide through my hands it’s just so relaxing to me….enjoy those better yarns Juan you are deserving of them to glide in your hands❤
Juan, shame on the rude people asking for yarn! It has always shocked me that people think that others owe them! It makes me mad! They need to get off their butts and buy their own yarn. If they are watching you then they have enough money to buy their own! Sorry I will quit rambling! Love the happy mail yarn , it's beautiful. Can't wait to see what you make with it. So enjoy your time on here with you, I feel the best friendship! Keep it safe through the holidays. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃! Sincerely Janey from NC
I'm sorry you have to explain your yarn and what you do with it. You donate a lot of what you make, please don't feel bad about not giving to people that ask. You are so kind. I love your videos.
Hi Juan, I’m new to your channel and have already binge watched your videos. I love your color choices, and am a yarn addict also….😅Please never give yarn to people who have the audacity to ask someone who is as sweet as you to give them what you have worked for.
I believe I just love your mom. I wish we could meet her. You are such a great son for working with the hairy yarn and the color 🩷. It just so wonderful for all you do.
You have a generous heart.I just want to mention that for a guy with three jobs postage is not cheap .I have mailed friends crochet gifts and got amazed at the cost. Just saying.
We want you to have mom on more please, she makes my day, not that you don't because you do, I just love your mom... ok? Thanks Juan, give mom a big for me, thanks Crochenlady
Juan, you are so worth the purple yarn!!!! You are worth once a year or twice a year buying yourself some extra special yarn and making yourself a special project. If you watch Crystals last live broadcast, there may be a clue who sent that purple yarn to you. LOL! As for your Mom, you should listen to her and put away that Christmas yarn for next year as your already working on your Xmas squares. I think Crystal also has a hat like your mom requested called the cloche hat and I think that hat is adorable and would be a great gift for your mom. Love to both you and your mom.
Oh man Juan! I would be very careful on who you send yarn. There are a lot of scammers out there and you work to buy your yarn. Anyway, u are a sweet hearted guy. So, you make the decision and the giveaway might be a better option. Love the purple yarn and you have to use the hanks. Maybe a wave blanket will be nice for the Christmas yarn.
I love frogging afghans for the yarn from thrift stores. It is a great way to get wonderful yarn. I also like to gift the beautiful blankets that look like new. Thanks for your channel and your generosity.
Hello Juan, you are a good son making your mom the hat she wants and putting aside your feelings for (hairy) fuzzy yarn! Lol. Suggestion for mistletoe yarn, tree skirt, something candy cane, or the granny squares you have in mind. PS-love your channel.😊
I don't think you should feel guilty about having yarn. No one should expect FREE YARN from you. Let them go out and buy their yarn just like the rest of us. Also if you decide to do some mystery boxes i know that there is a cost to get those boxes. And shipping. Please never feel like you don’t do enough. Believe me you do plenty. ❤
That’s beyond rude, it’s manipulative, what were they using before Juan started his channel. You can get yarn for any price…but what you can afford. He’s working three jobs to feed his yarn addiction not for ppl asking for free yarn. If that’s why they’re here then take a walk.
Hi Juan, You you ask bod, cinnamon stitches or any one that has a yarn channel. They would all tell you that someone asked them for yarn. That why they do giveaway once in awhile.
Juan I loved this video. Way to go with frogging all those blankets. I look forward to seeing the hat you'll make your mom. The malibrigo is gorgeous. I'm not even going to touch on about people asking you for your yarn 🧶 🤫.
Shelf the Christmas until inspiration strikes. If you try to force it, you probably won’t be satisfied with the final project. I have some beautiful yarn from Arcane Fibre Works just sitting on my shelf awaiting inspiration. One skein made an adorable amigurimi ogre ❤ and another has made a wonderful beanie (one of Crystal’s patterns). And lastly, after listening to others experiences I would make it a policy to not do “giveaways” (except quietly on the side as suggested by an another viewer). Okay, one more thing - I so enjoy your channel ❤
I had a bunch of the pink camo (ick!) so I used solids to stripped it in a C2C chevron by Mikey- The Crochet Crowd. Made it not so busy. That stuff you have will pool if you let it.
I think a C2C with the the green, red, white and the verigated would look nice. I would never ask another person to give me yarn, I buy when I can save the money and a good sale,
Hi Juan!! I wanted to thank you for making that video showing us how to join grannies squares using your moms white blankets. I had to watch it 3 times to realize that I needed to border it with black or white to join it and it not look stupid. So I'm good now. Thanks to you!!
Juan, Love that you can't say no to your mother!!!! You have the patience of a saint frogging all that yarn!!! Can't wait to see the hat you make for your mother. Your holiday circles are gorgeous! Thank you for your support for the Premier Puzzle Yarn Collection! Your generosity is inspiring! Thank you.

I wholeheartedly agree. Well said.

Juan, the best way to thank the person who gifted you this lovely yarn is to find and make projects and to share the pics with all of us.❤
Ask yourself this please. What in the world would those self-same 100 people who expect YOU to freely give them your yarn do without you ? They would keep on doing what they have done all along which is buy their yarn from any number of stores and be happy w it.
Please don't let people guilt you into giving away your yarn. You can always do it on the QT so no one knows which I fully believe is the answer, but that's me and my thoughts on this. Take care Kiddo, sit back and breathe. You've got this🎉🎉🎉🎉
Couldn’t have said this better if I tried…the audacity of ppl is sooo ridiculous. What were they doing b4 Juan came to YT. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Give the yarn to who you want privately. Crystal spoke about unscrupulous people. People don't mean to be awful but will take and take and take. You have heard her speak about how certain folks only show up for yarn give aways.
Yes sadly that's true, and look at what they did to her, they made her feel so guilty about having her yarn wall, to the point of her getting rid of it all. When I heard her talking about that it broke my heart, and I hope the same thing doesn't happen here. Some people are just terrible or greedy, they should be embarrassed!
You do want you want to do with your yarn. Don't feel sad that you can't help everyone. Personally, I watch creators for their ideas and personalities, not for what they can give me. If you never did another giveaway, I would still watch your channel.
Glad to see you set some boundaries around the yarn requests. Anyone getting mad at you for not sending them free yarn can just do some soul searching. As your channel grows you’ll attract all sorts I guess! I love that you get to try more high end yarns and see what you think! Use the good yarn, life’s short! ❤❤❤

Hi Sam!! I’m so sorry you’re not well!! Thank you so much for your kind words…means more than you know. As a content creator yourself I know exactly the position I’m in. Thank you 🙏 for the advice! xx
Yes NEVER say no to a mother ! 😂🤣👏🏼😉❤❤❤
Your mom has taken on the role as Creative Director of your channel. That's cool.
Juan, I agree with your Mom, store that mistletoe yarn if you don’t have inspiration now to make something with it. Also, make something nice with those purple hanks of yarn for yourself you deserve it. Your subscribers obviously appreciate you.
Your mom sounds like a sweetheart. I can tell she did a fine job raising you. Blessings and hugs to you both.
I love the title "yarn, crochet and all the things" and think that would be the perfect name for a you tube channel (if you ever decide to start a 2nd channel 😀).

This comment made me smile from ear to ear!! 😁 Thank you for your kind words!!
Oh my, Juan you are too kind, but people will overwhelm you with requesting yarn. People who are capable of buying their own yarn. Do not worry yourself with that. Give it away as you like to whomever you like. Lovely happy mail! I am enjoying your channel! 💗👍😁
Hey Juan, your generous spirit is amazing. Please, don’t ever apologize for not giving away enough not giving away things often enough and not doing enough for others. Simply what you’re doing here takes enough of your time and energy that no one should be complaining. And as for those hanks of yarn, please man make something. They may look beautiful as hanks, but with the workmanship of your hands, you will make something magnificent!

Your videos are something I look forward to ✅👏🏻👏🏻
Hi Juan, I would use the mistletoe yarn to make Christmas Stockings and donate them to a homeless shelter. 😁
Please don't let people bother you. People should work 3 jobs like you and buy their yarn! You are so unselfish, caring and sensitive! Keep being you and keep the videos coming! Hug your Mom for me! Lisa in West Virginia.
I am obsessed with "hanks", and I order from Beautiful Knitters in London. When the package arrives, I close the blinds, lock the doors, put my phone on DND, and then just go into a yarn coma. LoveCrafts has a web site. Beautiful yarn. 😊
I think Crystal's cloche hat is the one your mom is asking for.
If you did it in white is would look similar to Lily of The Valley flowers
Juan, what a beautiful son you are!!! To say yes to your mama for something you do not care for without protest, my heart pounds with joy!!!!!
Happy Holidays and thank you for bringing joy to me with every video of yours I watch. Victoria
Nope, nope DON'T start giving FREE yarn Juan!! Please DONT!! Be KIND & Say "NO"!! Honestly, Can't believe ppl putting u in that situation. Love yur content & energy! 😊😊💜💜🩶✌️

As far as the “Christmas” yarn, I’m with your mom-shelf it.
Thank you for your content and I enjoy seeing you. I learn something new every time I watch. ❤
starwarsgirl, you are 💯 💯correct, they used to ask for her yarn often and always w/sob stories. Rude ppl.
I can't believe people ask you for yarn. I could possibly see it if it was for a charity, but that's still pushing it. 😮 FYI, Thanks for showing that puzzle yarn. That's the exact color I need, now to hunt it down. I love puzzle yarn. Great show today! Love you happy mail 😊❤
I do agree that is so rude.
It's more than rude, it was very manipulative
People can be so rude!
Postage is outrageous recently. I sent via UPS, 2 baby blankets this fall and it cost me more than $19. Yarn is available all over. Much of it is not expensive, let people buy their own. People will take advantage of you. Working more than one job, buying this yarn and then shipping it to people who want free yarn sounds financially non viable.
Yes! In the 70’s I crocheted afghans for my bridesmaids using a granny square ripple pattern!!! So fun!❤️
Your mom sounds like a great person!!!!!! Can’t wait to see the hat finished 😊
I think you are here to share your joy and our joy of yarn that all we need from you Juan all the things Juan is already fabulous ❤️🇨🇦🌈you are so worth it a sweater or a scarf you deserve it
I love that you want to help so many people by giving yarn away. However that’s exactly what you do for all the people who receive your blankets, hats etc. please don’t feel badly because you speak the truth. Your one person with a whole life & family outside UA-cam 💜
Amen to that.
Hi Juan! So glad you posted today. I love that your mom is acting as your Creative Director.🥰 Crystal has a few hats that I’ve made and I think the cloche hat tutorial on her channel would look amazing in that hairy yarn. ( I no longer call it fuzzy, it will forever be hairy. 🤣) Much love you and your mom. 🥰🧶 Thanks for sharing.
Juan, I thought about sun rise and sunset when you described your possible project. I love your practice square with the purples. My heart melts when you talk about your mom and grandmother.
Juan i love the square in the color purple, mauve, teal and white. It's so beautiful. I love the color combinations together.
I love how budget conscious you are with yarn. I feel the same way. I keep thinking how much more yarn I could get with all that money. Thank you for all you do. 🧶💝
If I keep watching, I might need the AA for yarnaholics!
Juan, not too long ago I was a quilt fabric collector. I bought an expensive sewing machine with all the bells and whistles (never used many of them) and made lots of quilts for my family. I did not keep even one. Then covid hit and I lost interest in a short time in everything. I gave away my fabric stash, thousands of dollars worth literally. Last year I took up my hook again after many years and now find myself TRYING to not become a yarn addict. ❤
I know You will love it because it is a work of love for your mom! Every second you are working on it, your mom will be in your art..🥰🥰😍😍😍❤️❤️
That is so pretty. That is very kind of whoever sent it.
Great thriving ideas for getting yarn! You just never know what gems you’ll find. Great seeing you Juan.
A hat or cowl in the Malabrigo would be heavenly. You deserve something beautiful
I agree w Mamma....shelf it for now! ❤❤❤
Juan, there are some beautiful people in our World. Enjoy your lovely colours of yar. which nice to see it brings smile on your lovely face.
I seriously jealous with the beautiful, compassionate friendship you have with your dear Mum. My passes away 43 yrs ago. How wish for chat or coffee with her. Take care looking forward next session. from Tasmania Australia xxxxxxx
Hi Juan! The majority of us watch you for what we can learn from you NOT what we can get from you. 💜 I would use the Mistletoe yarn in combination with your holiday motifs and shelf the leftovers for next year. 😋 You are very generous with your time and those folks will crochet withOUT your free yarn! Just saying! By the way, anyone know who this Rick Springfield is that keeps messaging us??? 🙁
I think he’s a troll.
Definitely not the 80s rock star!😂
Better yarns are like petty your favorite fur pet, I love how yarn glide through my hands it’s just so relaxing to me….enjoy those better yarns Juan you are deserving of them to glide in your hands❤
Juan! You have beautiful hair! So used to seeing you in a hat!
Thank you!! 🙏
Juan, shame on the rude people asking for yarn! It has always shocked me that people think that others owe them! It makes me mad! They need to get off their butts and buy their own yarn. If they are watching you then they have enough money to buy their own! Sorry I will quit rambling! Love the happy mail yarn , it's beautiful. Can't wait to see what you make with it. So enjoy your time on here with you, I feel the best friendship! Keep it safe through the holidays. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃! Sincerely Janey from NC
I'm sorry you have to explain your yarn and what you do with it. You donate a lot of what you make, please don't feel bad about not giving to people that ask. You are so kind. I love your videos.
! You and Crystal are great together! I enjoy you both so much!! Thank you forr heelpig us newbies!!
I just love how you always talk of your family so fondly family is so very important god bless xx
Your energy is contagious!!!!! Love your contents and so glad to have found you!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love the relationship you have with your mum
Hi Juan, I’m new to your channel and have already binge watched your videos. I love your color choices, and am a yarn addict also….😅Please never give yarn to people who have the audacity to ask someone who is as sweet as you to give them what you have worked for.
I believe I just love your mom. I wish we could meet her. You are such a great son for working with the hairy yarn and the color 🩷. It just so wonderful for all you do.
With mistletoe yarn make Christmas bobble ornaments. Give as gifts
Love how your Mom is your shoulder and can't wait to see what you gonna make her hat
It’s a cloche…and Crystal does have the tutorial. Cute as a bug!
People shouldnt ask you for your yarn thats wrong ❤❤❤you ate a good hearted person
I think a chevron blanket with the variegated Christmas yarn, white and red and green solids would look really nice.
You have a generous heart.I just want to mention that for a guy with three jobs postage is not cheap .I have mailed friends crochet gifts and got amazed at the cost. Just saying.
Take your time!!! You are a great person to even WANTto do these giveaways and i thank you for your time
We want you to have mom on more please, she makes my day, not that you don't because you do, I just love
your mom... ok? Thanks Juan, give mom a big for me, thanks
Crochenlady
Juan, you are so worth the purple yarn!!!! You are worth once a year or twice a year buying yourself some extra special yarn and making yourself a special project. If you watch Crystals last live broadcast, there may be a clue who sent that purple yarn to you. LOL! As for your Mom, you should listen to her and put away that Christmas yarn for next year as your already working on your Xmas squares. I think Crystal also has a hat like your mom requested called the cloche hat and I think that hat is adorable and would be a great gift for your mom. Love to both you and your mom.
You are an amazing person Juan. I love your tutorials. Keep you head up and stay possitive ❤❤❤❤
Oh man Juan! I would be very careful on who you send yarn. There are a lot of scammers out there and you work to buy your yarn. Anyway, u are a sweet hearted guy. So, you make the decision and the giveaway might be a better option.
Love the purple yarn and you have to use the hanks.
Maybe a wave blanket will be nice for the Christmas yarn.
Im the same way with my parents!
Malabrigo is such a joy to work with you will love it. Do not lock up the Malabrigo crochet it and wear it it with joy.😊
Juan, you can get a pilling shaver. Also when I frog things I use my winder.
Yes exactly what I was thinking. A fabric shaver would go faster but you'd just have to be careful.
I love frogging afghans for the yarn from thrift stores. It is a great way to get wonderful yarn. I also like to gift the beautiful blankets that look like new. Thanks for your channel and your generosity.
Blue in your face LMAO
Juan you are so funny I just love you for that.😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
Mosaic squares and granny squares would be a creative challenge
Very much enjoy your tangents, bits and bobbles! Puzzle yarn is next on my list!!
If you begin getting hanks, a yarn swift will become a good friend!!
Hi Juan, my favorite yarn enabler 💜. Hope all is well with you and mom😊😊😊
Juan~~They sell "fabric shavers" which are battery-run. I used to have one and I really liked it. It's fun to get rid of the fuzz and pills!
Hello Juan, you are a good son making your mom the hat she wants and putting aside your feelings for (hairy) fuzzy yarn! Lol. Suggestion for mistletoe yarn, tree skirt, something candy cane, or the granny squares you have in mind. PS-love your channel.😊
Thank you for your kind words!! Great ideas for the mistletoe yarn as well!
I don't think you should feel guilty about having yarn. No one should expect FREE YARN from you. Let them go out and buy their yarn just like the rest of us. Also if you decide to do some mystery boxes i know that there is a cost to get those boxes. And shipping. Please never feel like you don’t do enough.
Believe me you do plenty. ❤
I don't think people should ask you for yarn. To me that's rude. You are are a kind & generous person. Love your channel. ❤️🤗
That’s beyond rude, it’s manipulative, what were they using before Juan started his channel. You can get yarn for any price…but what you can afford. He’s working three jobs to feed his yarn addiction not for ppl asking for free yarn. If that’s why they’re here then take a walk.
Oh Juan you got taught a quite a lesson lol lol 🎉😊all is good Juan
I would love get the granny squares to finish. I belong to a group that make blankets and hats for children that have cancer.
Juan I love to hear you talk about the conversations you have with your mom about crochet. In my mind she is a short sassy lady. Just like my mom.😂
Hi Juan, You you ask bod, cinnamon stitches or any one that has a yarn channel. They would all tell you that someone asked them for yarn. That why they do giveaway once in awhile.
Juan I loved this video. Way to go with frogging all those blankets. I look forward to seeing the hat you'll make your mom. The malibrigo is gorgeous. I'm not even going to touch on about people asking you for your yarn 🧶 🤫.
The purple yummy ness you received is stunning. I have to say I just love your laugh. Shhh no one can ever have to many hanks 😂😂
As always I enjoyed all the things 😊. Keep being you! It is so wonderful to see how much confidence you have gained. ❤ One for you!
That purple yarn is gorgeous. That's a lot of yarn your getting out of those blankets. Thanks for the video.
Love your granny squares especially the one in purple, brown, green and white💕💕
Shelf the Christmas until inspiration strikes. If you try to force it, you probably won’t be satisfied with the final project. I have some beautiful yarn from Arcane Fibre Works just sitting on my shelf awaiting inspiration. One skein made an adorable amigurimi ogre ❤ and another has made a wonderful beanie (one of Crystal’s patterns). And lastly, after listening to others experiences I would make it a policy to not do “giveaways” (except quietly on the side as suggested by an another viewer). Okay, one more thing - I so enjoy your channel ❤
I had a bunch of the pink camo (ick!) so I used solids to stripped it in a C2C chevron by Mikey- The Crochet Crowd. Made it not so busy. That stuff you have will pool if you let it.
I think a C2C with the the green, red, white and the verigated would look nice. I would never ask another person to give me yarn, I buy when I can save the money and a good sale,
Hi Juan!! I wanted to thank you for making that video showing us how to join grannies squares using your moms white blankets. I had to watch it 3 times to realize that I needed to border it with black or white to join it and it not look stupid. So I'm good now. Thanks to you!!
Juan, Crystal has a tutorial on what that your mom would like. It’s a 1920’s flapper hat
Thank you!!
