I feel like this would honestly be such a good opportunity to give some extra left over projects to the homeless especially since it’s currently winter
yess i second this
Yes, I agree. Or find a local prison who teaches knitting and crochet; those programs and what they do for inmates is amazing. Along with the people who teach those classes. You may want to consider WHY you have so much yarn, because methinks, it's not just about the crocheting.
My husband teases me about my yarn collection. He clearly has no idea how bad it could be. Thankfully this amount of yarn would actually be my worst, most overwhelming nightmare. I have no idea how you can handle all that, honestly.
I thought my yarn hoard was bad. 😮 thanks for making me feel better about myself. lol
You should feel good about yourself you’re a creator
@@lothrop53so much yarn in only one house makes me feel sad. I don’t know why but it doesn’t look right.
You have the biggest BIGGEST yarn collection I have ever seen😮. How many skiens, balls etc do you think you have? Curious.
I would like to know too just out of interest
Never ask a woman her age, her weight, or the number of skeins in her stash. 😂 😂
My question is why does she have so much yarn? That looks like yarn store inventory type stash. I would be totally overwhelmed thinking I needed to use all that yarn.
My daughter thought I had a lot
You should look at the Smells like Yarn guy 😅...
Holy cow!!! I cant even understand that volume of yarn! 😮
This is by far the most interesting crochet video I’ve ever seen! I LOVE seeing all your WIPs, stacks of grannies, half-finished blankets, etc. Your colors and combinations of colors are all so beautiful and inspiring!
(… also, it’s wonderful to know that I’m not alone in having so many unfinished projects! 😆)
Anyway, thank you, Ginger. Please keep showing us your crochet WIPs and the progress you make. It’s so much fun!! ❤❤❤
I agree with you 😉🙌🙌😉 I seriously thought I may have more yarn than most 😂 but don’t get me wrong👆 I love her channel!! And I just found her channel this morning 😉👆👆😉
I've been crocheting for over 50 years now, and I, in no way have as much yarn as you, lol! I make pet blankets out of my scraps(they work up fast, and animals don't care what colors go with what, lol). We have plenty for our own cats. They're very welcome at cat and dog foster homes. Some vets like them, and so do pet rescue organizations. I've got far too many afghans to make them for myself, or my family anymore. I've made queen sized bedspreads out of crochet cotton, curtains, etc.(tedious, but beautiful). Enough crap about me. Anyway, I've enjoyed this video, and you have a new sub!
You have 2 jobs 7 kids and all that crocheting done. You’re amazing!
You have such sweet energy, I love how you radiate when you talk about your crocheting ❤️
At the beginning I was so overwhelmed by all your WIPs but when you started showing your scrap blanket I realized you are a genius!!
You have been busy for sure. So many granny stitch patterns. They are all so pretty. Could you do a tutorial on how to use your favorite stitch (lemon peel?) to make the granny squares?
Lol yes thats me i dont wanna cook I dont wanna clean sometimes I go on strike and just crochet all day LOL 😄
My jaw dropped in the first 10 seconds of the video seeing that massive stockpile. Might I suggest simply rolling around in it? I’m only kidding. 😉 It’s so beautiful!
Great suggestion, Elizabeth! I have actually done that! 🤣🤣🤣🥰
I just have to say I appreciate your energy 😂❤
Wow, every time I stumble across one of your videos, I'm get jealous of all that yarn 😊 I look forward to seeing you destash throughout the year!
I see a lot of comments saying you should donate, and while it's a worthy thing to do, have you ever thought about selling any finished items? You make gorgeous things, and it would be a way to earn back some of the money you spent on the stash! I could definitely see a successful shop in the future if you have the energy and the will to sell items
😊Anyway, just popped in to say that I love what you do!
I can completely relate...I want to just crochet ALL day everyday! ❤
Ginger, this has got to be one of the most cheerful, happiest Crochet show and tell I’ve ever seen!❤ I am going to save this in my favorites and when I feel sad this I definitely am going to watch, I hated to see it end! I grew up in Hutchison Kansas, my daughters name is Ginger and I love to Crochet!
My name is Gloria Buck by the way and I live near St. Louis now but I miss Kansas so much because its home. I will be 80 years old in a few months and have been crocheting since I was 18 years old❤
Hi Ginger,
Have you ever thought of donating the finished blankets to a women’s shelter? She’s got yarn 2 collects blankets for Boggy Creek which is a camp for disabled kids.
Just a couple of suggestions to help you clear out some of your stash.
Great idea! When I learned how to crochet, I gifted 1 baby blanket to a family member, and have donated every item I've made since then (2015) to hospitals or missions. I have graciously accepted almost all of my yarn from those who have stopped their crafting, but wanted to donate to the same. It's a win-win for me, and also for the individual who chose to donate the yarn. I also ask if they would like a photo of the items prior to going to the recipients. The smiles I see, warms my heart. They feel so good that their yarn turned into these creations being donated. Thanks for leaving your suggestion!! 💕
Love your plants! You have areal green thumb😊
You literally have more yarn than my local yarn store oh my god.
I am jealous
I woke today thinking it’s time to give away a few boxes of yarn that I will never make up.
I bought a bunch of novelty yarn years ago for $1 per skein when it was popular and my church group was selling and donating scarves. From time to time, I go thru my yarn and donate. I’ve donated to women’s prisons, and Goodwill of course. I used to never make items for myself. Now I do, and I also use yarn I no longer love to make hats for the homeless. (I’ve made hundreds). There are ways to destash. Someone is really going to appreciate the yarn you donate 👍🏽.
❤ the bag lol at first I thought it was a pillow with a small strap thinking it's a new pillow that kids can have a pillow fight with
They'd just have swing the pillow like a ninja would
Omg. 😳 That is GENIUS!!! Thank-you for bringing that to my attention!!! My grandkids will have so much fun with my bags now! 🤣🤣🤣
Maybe I’m easily impressed but you’re very good at combining colours. Every time you picked up a new project I was in awe. 😊
Same! I would buy some of these at a craft fair. She has such a great eye for color combos 😍
I feel that way about knitting, but not crochet.
📣WOW‼ You have soooooooooooooooooo much yarn‼😍😍😍LUV IT‼i am in the same situation. So I've decided to make beanies, blankets, scarfs and ponchos for the homeless. That was last spring and had them ready for the Christmas Season. It started with Autumn colors and handed those out right before the Thanksgiving Season and continued throughout the Fall making all kinds of colored for men and some colors for ladies, and some matching beanies and scarfs. I must share that people were SO GRATEFUL since the winter was so brutal this winter. 🥶🥶🥶 THAT has made me feel so good 🙂
Yikes! That is a lot. I am not judging- you go girl! If this brings joy, I am supportive. I knit and I have a closet full of yarn - posh, expensive stuff - and I am completely overwhelmed by it. What will you do with it all? And what do you do with all of the things you make?
Let me know when i can go shopping,at your yarn Stash i just would like one of any color you don't want.😂 You do have so much you can fill a store of maybe 5 ailes.
I love everything you made.
I love your cardigan! So pretty!
Holy stash balls Batman !
I dug through some piles of WIP bags I had in my room and and yarn boxes in my room and was shocked by what I found. So much stuff…
Finish the all the WIPs and then go onto a big project
You have one great yarn stash! Your projects are beautiful! I'd love you see a tutorial on creating a Granny Square with your favorite Lemon Peel) stitch
WOW!i opened the video, saw your stash, and immediately went "wow im so jealous" 😆 also congrats on your grandbaby-to-be!!
That Red Heart Granny Square yarn was infuriating! I got it to work out, but crocheted each round and either changed hook size or adjusted tension to have it work out correctly for that round. It is so nice because there are so many fewer ends to work in. But one skein was enough and I gave the finished squares to a friend who was also using that yarn. I’m assuming that in 2 years, this yarn will disappear.
And I thought I had a lot of yarn. Ha! What an excellent pallet to work with. As for the "crazy granny" blanket: could call it the Thrifty Granny! That's what the granny square was first about, I think - using up scraps to be smart n thrifty! Anyway it's a unique piece of art. Love it!
nothing could of prepared me for the size of your stash!! I’m excited to see what you end up making out of it!!
I’ve taken several screenshots to save as color inspiration. I love the blue/purple/green rainbow fish blanket
I thought I had too much yarn 😅 now I don't feel so bad!
That crazy granny would look great as a rug
That’s a lot of yarn! I loved seeing your projects. Would you consider doing tutorials for the two granny square bags you showed? They are so cute.
Cap yarn blankets are perfect for donations to animal rescues and your older towels you don’t use anymore!
this style of video is so lovely to watch when im crocheting, thank you so much! i absolutely loved seeing what you have made and are making, keep it up!!!! :D
Your colorful blankets are sooo beautiful!!! 😍 I can’t believe how gorgeous they are
love this! your yarn room is so amazing, i just want to live in there !!!! love all your plants aswell!
Colorful blankets ❤
You've been busy and making beautiful things. Good to see that smiling face 😊
Yes! Thank you, Christena 🥰
Oh My goodness, that's more yarn than My Joann's & Michaels put together!!
lol…. Same 😂
This was my first one of your videos and I thought you were in a yarn store at first!!
WOW!! That's ALOT of yarn!! ❤❤
lol…yeah😂😂😂
I love all your projects!
They are beautiful.
I’m very slow & constantly checking my work. I have arm issues too from crochet. Have to rest & not push it too much.
Ooo that purple one is pretty
😮 so, so much yarn.
You have a bigger yarn selection than my local Joann’s. I also get caught up with using scraps
You are so so me!! I will challenge you to see who’s worse!!!
Get ready GO
I feel like i just hit the jackpot of destashing UA-cam
Yay!!! 🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🥳🥰
I’ve never seen a granny square baby blanket. How adorable is that?? I always get inspired by your videos. ❤
Bag O Day helped me relearn crochet after a huge brain tumor removed!
I just found your channel and I love all of your blankets! I believe you have more yarn than anyone else I’ve seen. Happy crocheting 🧶
Beautiful work, Ginger!
The yarn de-stash begins with offloading it to your favorite daughter! (no bias, pinky promise 🤞🤞)
Heck yeah!! 🤫🫢Just don’t tell Brandy and Veronica!! 🤣🤣🤣
OMG! This is me and my love sofa! Lol!
My Mom calls my crochet area my nest also🤣
Inspiring! Now I want to make squares out of those fuzzy cakes I have.
You are a busy beaver, wish I could crochet fast🥰
What do you do with all your finished works? I canr imagine family members continually taking them or you using everything in your own home but maybe you have a room in your house stacked with beautiful finished things that just bring you joy?!
Wow!! I thought I had a lot! And I am addicted to buying yarn!! But I don’t have any thing close to that! You have it well organized!
I have made those large granny square blankets several times and they are fun!! All of yours are beautiful! I’m more of a knitter and I would like to sit and knit ( or crochet) all day!
Oh my gosh!! What a huge yarn stash you have. ❤
Your absolute smashing it using that yarn, will you keep track of how much you use up each month. Would be amazing to know how many balls u actually have. It would inspire us all to stash bust . I am trying but the yarn deals just get the better of me hahah
Great idea! I will start keeping track of all the yarn today!😄😄😄
I recently come across a pattern making large baskets using 7 stands of mixed weight yarns but all from the same color family. The finished item has a tweedy look.
You could try something similar, make several in a variety of colors to collect and sort your yarn scraps. They would be pretty and practical in your yarn studio. I think you would be able to hang them on the wall even with a sturdy hook. When a basket gets full you will have collected enough to start a new project.
You are simply amazing. The plum pudding is beautiful, but, so are all of your projects. You and hubby will have to buy a larger home to accommodate your hobby. Thank you for taking us along on your yarn trip.
Take the pink off the ones you don't want and transfer it to the ones u want to keep 🥰
I say Im working as an excuse LOL
I was like oh wow that’s a lot of yarn, and then you panned over to the wall with stacked yarn and I was like holy cow that’s a lot of yarn, then you brought us to your downstairs stash and I was like THATS A LOT OF YARN!!! 😂😂😂
Also I totally love everything you do with the yarn you have! Even when you have scraps you still utilize them and I love that
Wow, you sure are dynamic
Hi ginger I love all of the stash busting ideas and I love your channel and your videos and if you keep making videos I will keep watching them and what is your favorite crochet project to work on right now and favorite types of yarn to used when crocheting and keep up the great work on your UA-cam channel and keep up the great work on your crochet projects and right now I am working on my cottage core mosaic blanket and granny squares blanket and butterfly mosaic blanket and my somebunny
Juan I want to take the time to say thank you for all your hard work.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
So nice of you! Thank-you! 🥰
HOLY SHIT you have a better selection of yarn then my local Micheal’s! Lol amazing! Lol I have what I call my craft couch. I literally crawl out of hole on the couch cuz I’m surrounded by craft shit lol
Amazing work!!!!
All I can say is WOW❤
I can’t believe you are going to buy more yarn colors after seeing your stash!!! I love how the Red Heart Granny Square yarn turned out in the lemon peel stitch. Love it! So interesting!!! I really like the cake yarn squares. So pretty! I save every piece of yarn. Saw an idea on Pinterest to make a bowl using yarn snips and white glue. Sort of a decoupage idea. So I have collected a couple baggies of those. 😅❤
❤️ the border on your granny square blanket
😮😮very lot of yards.have good da
The pattern you're calling lemon peel is what I've heard called houndstooth. If you do an entire row in one color and the next in a contrasting color, like black and white and proceed like that, I think it's the houndstooth pattern.
Wow!!!🤩
But red heart, when you wash it it gets softer so I think they hav some king of protection layer on it.❤
I just happened by your video. Oli have a much smaller yarn stash - 6-7 large packers. I’ve been working myself down - my goal is 3-4 packers. My projects are mainly donated to animal shelters and nursing homes. I just started knitting after rotator cuff surgery. Hopefully I will crochet again soon.
I have three places I crochet. The main one is called my COMMAND Center! My library is where I store my yarn. My main challenge is knowing what I have so I can use it! Great video. Thanks.
Ginger, I have missed your videos!!!
I love your crazy granny stripe blanket!
I so wanna come shopping in your yarn room! LOL!!!!! I too have a nest, mines a little small spot in the living room. 😁
Yep it’s the lemon peel stitch! Also I just found you today and I love your personality and loved this video ❤
The double border is great!!!
i think you should frog the valentine day granny square trials and errors to add to your lemon stitch blanket.
Beautiful makes 😊😊 and so understand wanting to sit and crochet and do nothing else 😊😊
I call it the lemon peel and I love that stitch so much!! Love all your makes ! ❤🎉
Thank-you, Meagan!! Btw… I’m still in love with the Dots hooks you sent me! 💕🌸🥰
@@theYarnGeek yay!! They are my favorite hooks now. I hope they will come out with larger sizes.
I love all of your blankets! I really like the idea of planned color granny row blankets for scraps! Brilliant!!! I think my yarn stash is greater than yours, but it's nice to see a fellow XXXL stasher!
Your fancy squares are so pretty!
You are really good at color combining. I love all of the blankets :)
The blanket you held up with reds,blues, white and grays reminds me of patriotism might want to consider a name like crazy nation😅
