Crista you should do your videos the way you want them! I love seeing your projects and WIPS. It doesn’t matter if and/or when you do the tutorial. Keep on keepin on Crista - love your channel and everything you do 💜
I KNOW RIGHT!! Her, videos are the best!! One my favorite UA-camrs!! ❤ ❤ with bad smelling chemical yarn I wash it or light....Bath& BodyWorks candles.
WIPs - I understand how people can be eager for tutorials, but also understand that, well, life happens 😏. Keep doing what your doing Christa, that’s why we watch 😘
No please don’t stop what you do I love to see everything you do all the WIPS! I love to see all your ideas it gives me lots of ideas what to do with my yarn. I love to see your channel and what new ideas you come up with can’t wait for the mile a minute blanket. Just be you and don’t change anything your great!
No one should control when you crochet or not, film or not. You do what you want. You’re right about WIPS giving people ideas. I see an idea I like and incorporate it in another project. No anxiety coming from me. I have yarn storage anxiety. 🤣 where the hell do I put it all?
I love seeing WIPs. I enjoy seeing what you’re up to. It’s fun. Sometimes I see something you’re working on and I want in too! But I’d never hassle someone to hurry up. Crochet is supposed to be fun. Not stressful.
Hi this is Asmaa from Saudi Arabia, I have been watching your podcasts and I finished them all. You are the sweetest person ever, I loved all you projects starting the big box of granny square done by your students, the lion head, your old small yarnery and I am so excited to do your mandala stoop. , I loved your new big roomy yarnery, I loved your party cardi, and the mile a minute blanket. All your projects are so inspiring. I am so excited to see how the cover for your grandmother rocking chair will turn😩💕
Hi Christa please don't change anything about the way you work or do your channel , you keep it real and that's why we love you . Fabulous blanket and border and looking forward to the baby blanket cal , I will definitely be making that one for my grandchild to be , thank you 😊Amanda xx
I enjoy you. I marvel you being you; Mom, Wife, Crochet,...Us. Fun to watch your unboxings, tutorials, podcasts, WIPs and FPs! You're fun, enthusiastic and supportive. Keep being Christa. Enjoy your day!
I don't think we as viewers have a right to tell you how to do you channel, yarnigoodness and family. I love your channel and I am in the process of watching all your vidoes. Keep being yarntasic!!!
You are so sweet, not sure how you get so much done. Family comes 1st, thats why we love you. Summer goals: baby dress, baby blanket, wedding gift, and of course just enjoy the yarn journey
There's a reason why you have so many subscribers. You're authentic; it's like hanging out with a crochet friend. Friends show each other what they're working on, even if it's not finished, even if it's not perfect. Give us what you can; family first!
Please please show us everything!!!!! Don’t you dare hold back! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🧶crochet goals for the summer? Really no different than any other season. Just keep working on all my WIPS! I am “winging” a cotton beach wrap... well see how that turns out😊👍🏼
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Your channel - your decisions - your way. Don't like it? Move on. I guess that's all I have to say about that... were my "two cents" loud enough? HA! 😉 You're amazing! My crochet goals for the summer? Hmmm... good question Christa! I think my goal would be to try something new... like doing a C2C project as I have not done that before.
Dont let anyone change you. We watch you because of who you are and your way of doing things. If some ppl dont like that they dont have to watch. Just be you. Your wips give me ideas. I'm a knitter and a hooker and i too have many wips. When i get tired of knitting i crochet and visa versa. Keep up the great work.
Your channel your way. Its always nice to ask for opinions, likes, dislikes but do what makes you happy! I like the question and answer segments. Like you i like to start at one end and keep on going. Be for i started watching crochet videos, i saw you do an unboxing. Months later i found you again and all the other podcasters. Great job!
Hi Christa! I love seeing WIPs and UFOs and anything else especially because you can see the change in them even if you decide not to finish them or to pull them out. I think it's interesting to see. :)
It's your channel and we watch because of you and your format. Do your WIPs, tutorials etc when it works for you. Keep it fun for you and you know too you will never please everyone!!!! Great channel. Wish I had more time to comment after every show (yes show) but my hands are so busy crocheting. Hugs
Krista doesn’t ‘WIP’ stand for ‘Work in Progress’? Didn’t realise there should be a timeline - who does that? The only rule is it becomes a ‘FO’ (Finished Object). I feel people do Crochet to relax or enjoy as a hobby. If we put strict rules onto everything it becomes a chore. DON’T DO IT! Krista, what you have been doing so far has made your channel the size it is. Why change? Your Channel, your choice/rules.
I agree that crochet is supposed to be relaxing, not a chore. But there are many times when WIPs don't become FOs and there's no crochet police so no rules about that either! Sometimes they become UFOs, or go off to the frogpond. It's all good.
Christa don't let anyone make you feel that you can't show off your wips. I love seeing what you're working on. It inspires me for what I might want to work on next. My goal this summer is to finish some of my wips or decide if they need to be frogged for a new one.
The designer of the turtle is Heidi Bears, you can find her on ravelry and you have to purchase the pattern. She has a lot of cute animals, even the hippo that you see is from Heidi. There are no videos for it, but there are for the african flower hexagons.
Woops! I forgot to answer your question! (Face plant!! I'm still in shock!!) 😆😂 As it's nearly winter for Aussies, my winter crochet goals are crocheting: the Eregeneia shawl for my Mum for late Mother's Day gift🎁; ruana poncho & hug shrug for me👍; lots of baby blankets for my online store 💰 (creates money for more yarn😆) & lots of scarves & fingerless mittens for charity. 💜💛💙 Loved how the last row of orange on the border totally changed the look of it.... I took note of that! 👍😆You crochet sooooo fast Christa!! 💕🐨
Dear Christa! I am so blessed with your tutorials, I have and keep on learning every time I see your videos, so all I can say is a big Thank you, for all that you do for your followers like me. And please do your priorities first, and then your followers when your schedule permits. I understand what a huge job it is to have a Public Channel, and believe me I enjoy whenever you surprise us with your beautiful tutorials. We, the followers, are not paying members, so all we do when we watch your videos is, enjoy what you are showing. Please forgive us if anyone has said anything annoying to you, but the truth is that you are giving us so much, and it should be on your schedule, not ours. God bless you Christa, and hope that you keep on enjoying what you do for all of us, on your time, on your schedule. Thanks again xxx🧶🎈🌷🍃💟
The ambiente shawl is beautiful! Your videos are great. Please continue to share your WIPs. They inspire me to create. Don't change your style, it's great.
WHAAAAT!!?! REALLY? 😮😲 Awwweeee thanks heaps, Christa, for choosing me as your 1st subscriber of the week..... humbling!!😏💕 I was crocheting in bed, as feeling sick today & .... BAM my photo came up, then my name!!! 😲 Disbelief, shock, gratitude & tears ensued! 😮😲😭😆😆 You've made my day & fam all made to watch it!!😆😉 LOVE all your uploads... you're my fave crochet channel. 👍💕Love that you're a Mum 1st!!👏✔ Viewers need to respect that & be grateful for everything you do for us.😉 Thanks a ton!! 💜💛💙💛💜💕🐨
I thoroughly enjoy the fact that you have so many WIPS going at once! I have a kingsized scrappy blanket I am working on, bit by bit, but keep thinking about starting a Party Cardi for the fall. I'm also planning on getting my (very small, but soon to be larger) yarn stash organized. Your "yarny enthusiasm" is rubbing off on me! TY!
Love your videos Christa! Loving all your yarn behind you. What a colorful palette. I enjoy seeing all your finishes and wips. My goals for summer crocheting are to work on some amigurumi’s, make a shawl and a blanket. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Happy to see your WIPs. Some how it makes more sense with a large family that you don't just get to sit down to complete a project or video without a lot of interference. We have a large family also and things do tend to get pretty crazy sometimes! My summer goal is to get at least one blanket for each person in the house and completely fill my ottoman with shawls and wraps by September. Currently there are 8 people: 3 adults 3 teens and 2 toddlers to make blankets for, but I'm making all the blankets large. Currently finishing up my spring goals though of brightening up my living room
This is your channel and anybody that enjoys it will continue to enjoy it the way you choose to do it. I personally find it very informative. Thanks for all your effort to bring it to all .
hi Christa, my daughter would love the shawl. beautiful finished WIPs. love the orange picot border, saw it on IG but really couldn't see the detail. my Crochet goals for the summer like you to finish all 7 WIPs I have, in between home hunting, packing, moving and unpacking!! really enjoyed your podcast again pretty lady. looking forward to Friday live tomorrow!!
Christa- I just love your enthusiasm & spunkiness! Girl, u are a hoot! My crochet goals for the summer is to get as many chemo caps & lapghans made as possible for our local breast cancer center. In between making those I am starting a few afghans for Christmas gifts. If I might add, I like seeing ur wips & so what if it takes u a yr (or even more) to finish them & put out a tutorial! It’s ur channel & ur life, so do u girl! Peace, Love & Blessings! Keep on hooking & I am looking forward to ur next video/podcast/tutorial or whatever u choose to upload! 😊🌻
I love that you show us your wips!! I love that you show us and talk to us about your struggles with color choices. It makes me feel better about my struggles and ABSOLUTELY makes me more inspired to make different things or add things to my future wip list
I have never had more than 1 WIP at a time before....and then I forget cool ideas.... You have inspired me to go with my ideas and then focus on finishing when my mind is quiet... My Winter goal (Australia ) is developing all of my ideas and inspirations and being really productive! Thank you! Xxx
Love that you share your wips and all your projects! Please keep doing that! As for finishing and filming I think you are killing it! A mom of 4, wife and youtube maven....pretty dang great what you accomplish girl!
My goals for the summer are to make as many summer tops as I can. Love all the projects. I think people forget that youtubers lives are not all about UA-cam. We have kids, jobs and so many more things going on. Keep the WIP's coming. Love seeing them.
Crista I just love that you have a lot of WIPS on the go, so do I and I refuse to feel guilty about it lol... I believe it's the sign of a creative artistic mind (not that those who prefer working on one project at a time are not creatively artistic!). I adore the variety that having a lot of WIPS brings, different colours and types of yarn different hook sizes which help to stave off hand fatigue, big wips, small wips, I love it all. I "squirrel" with my crochet all the time, jumping from one wip to another... I'm never bored! Eventually they all get done and sometimes I get bunches of them finished in the same week and people on my crochet groups think I'm a crocheting machine hahaha... nah, I just plug away and enjoy the various croject journey's I'm on. I often watch my fave crochet podcasters (you are definitely one of those) while I'm happily hooking away. Love your work and your unboxings are very very helpful to me. My Ice Yarns cart is overflowing hahaha!
I appreciate your videos whenever they come out! For all of the people who are bothered that there isn't a tutorial on an item, you could warn them before that segment with one of your cute signs that it will be featuring items without tutorials and they can skip it. The rest of us will enjoy the video and can look forward to the tutorial WHENEVER you are ready for it! I want to start a special afghan for my dear sister this summer.
I love seeing your wip and finish project,I like seeing your out and about. Most of all do what make you happy,what make you happy when your doing your video. My summer goal is finish project,do one charity project,start on Christmas gifts sent it going to over 100⁰f in Texas.
Do you Christa, that's why I keep coming back! I like knowing what you're trying, tossing aside, considering, and reconsidering. If someone is stressing over your life and it's not you or your famiily then they are not invested enough in themselves. They need to reevaluate not you. Congratulations to viewer of the week and dinner of the week. My crochet goals to finish 2018 Christmas gifts and start early on 2019. I'm almost finished with the 2 iou and then will have 3 small ones that are Christmas is here when you're back.🙏💜💜💜
Keep doing your WIPS . This summer I would like to get my sewing and crocheting stuff organized . I live in a small 2-storey house and storage is tight . My niece wants me to make her a ripple afghan , but I don't like the up and down the whole way across for a king size afghan . I was thinking of doing 1 set of a ripple and going around like a mile-minute afghan . Have a great week !!!
Yes please continue to show us your Wips, I love seeing them, they help me get ideas for my own projects. You should decide which projects you want to do tutorials on, doesn't matter to me which ones. I enjoy whatever you share with us.🧶😊 I thank you for all the time you put into sharing your love and knowledge of yarn and crochet with us.
One of my goals for the summer is to make a top for myself. And thank you Christa, for answering my question about the scrubby yarn. And with your crocheting and tutorials, do them when you can/want. If someone wants the item they should have patience and understand your situation.
Loved this video. Feels like you are sitting in my living room. You are. Clear and explicit in all your explanations. I love it.!!!! My goal for this summer is to crochet a bedspread in granny squares that I already started slowly and had to hold for a while because of some situationwith breathing and chest pains due to a heart condition. After a surgical procedure in March I have started to feel better and now I can re-start my project. In the meantime I have been crochetting small items and a beautiful dress for my soon to be 2 years old great-granddaughter. Thank you for your wonderful personality. Makes me feel young again.
Love the way you do your Chanel.....you are spontaneous happy and full of sunshine. Every pod cast is like a lucky packet and such a pleasure to watch......stay as you are genuine. 💞
You do you Christa, I love seeing all the WIPs it helps inspire creativity! I have a bunch if gifts to make for special events over the spring/summer & I’m hoping to make myself some wearables too. 🤩🧶🤗
I love seeing your wip's I have so many and this lets me know I'm normal! I love getiing to go finsh what I want when I want and give priority to the things that need it. I just gave my son his 18th birthday blanket so now other things can be picked back up. the blanket for my bed is on hold till fall as I dont need it in the summer, so on so forth.
I love all your projects you working on. I would love to make the chair throw you have behind you on your rocking chair. With all the gorgeous Lambkin and beautiful colours of yarn with the dingle balls. Plus a dog bed made from t-shirt yarn for my wee Chihuahuas. Those are two projects I'd like to do this summer besides finish all the many wips I have going, lol. 😊
You Christa are doing just fine Keep on doing exactly what your doing Be yourself That’s why your subscribers are subscribed For those who don’t like it , well they don’t have to watch Your doing great Thank you for your wips ,tutorials and chats
You make me feel so fortunate that my son and niece and nephew let me do yarny things during the day! This summer I'm hoping to also get some things finished and make some new things. 🙃
C2C in rainbow for your bed sounds like a great idea! I like the colors on your blanket....the different colors on the border are awesome! The shawl is beautiful too.
i love to see your WIPS it inspires me to helps me ass to my list of things i want to make. i will have to live to be 150 years old to get them all done.
Hi love your blanket its beautiful and so is the border. I usually have 4 to 5 wips on the go if I didn't nothing would get done lol I love working on one then I like to change project when I get bored of one I like changing it up.
Enjoyed this podcast! Just keep doing your WIPS and such the way you always do!!! It's why we love your podcasts! My summer goals are small. Want to attempt to make a sweater for the fall and several shawls! Also make a few more C2C blankets! Love doing those! Love your C2C blanket and the trim is awesome!!!!! Gave me some great ideas for my C3Cs!!!! Thanks for all your hard work inspiring us hookers out here!!!!
Hi, Christa. I am a fairly new subscriber, but I love to see all your WIPS & UFOS. I really hope that you don't let the "negative nancy's" try to tell you how to run your channel, just do you the best way you can. For my summer crochet goals, I want to finish my c2c blanket (don't have enough yarn & might have to change to a shawl, lol) and I am working on scarves & hats for the homeless here in Medicine Hat, Alberta. It's really cool to know that you're from Canada & have family still here. Tell your sister "hi" from me. Thank you for spending your time with all of us. Lots of love & positive thoughts and energies
I love seeing your WIPs! Being a mom is more then a full time job - I respect that being a mom is your priority and will look forward to tutorials when you are able to do them!
I like to see what you are working on as it gives me ideas of what I can do. My crochet goals for the summer are to make some blankets from my scrap to donate to care homes
Hi Christa. Do what you choose! I enjoy seeing your WIPs and, of course, FOs. It's interesting to see color combos or stitches I might not have considered. Only do tutorials if and when you choose. I am learning (at my fossil age) that many people seem to feel entitled to demand what they want. Whereas I feel grateful for you generously sharing your time, talent and knowledge. No timetables for anything or it will become a chore rather than pleasure. Only sale I'm aware of in my area, SE Wisconsin, is Hobby Lobby. This week crochet threads and floss are 30% off, next week yarn will be on sale 30% off. They have been running these sales alternating weeks for quite a while now. I'm about 3/4 finished knitting a summer top. And have started and ripped out crocheted top numerous times! Trying to work in #10 thread and keep overestimating size! Those are my only real goals. I always have a pair of socks in the works for when I watch dvds. I thoroughly enjoy your videos, that's why I keep coming back. Thanks for brightening my day and being lovely company. 💖
I’m only 6 minutes into the video but I wanted to tell you (before the kids distract me) that I LOVE the dress you’re wearing! The shawl looks great with it too!
You are a very busy mom and zoo keeper ha ha ha , you are good enough to give up your time to share your knowledge with us. I don't care how long It takes. Why is everyone in such a hurry. Thank you Christa xxx
Hi Crista! I love your shawls, especially the one you're working on! My goal is to finish 4 Afghans before fall. Thank you for sharing for wips because I fell inspired and motivated to finish my wips! Thanks Crista!
Oh Christa your shawls are absolutely beautiful!!! :) I love the dangley ends :) You do your videos when you can. I truly appreciate you for doing them , one because you have taught me so much and your such a pleasure to watch. My crochet goal is to try and get my huge mountain of wips done :)
So, I am watching this POD and whoa, I hear my name, Thank you so very much for answering my question and also showing us how fast you crochet. YES, you are fast!! I don't know anyone that does crochet so it was great seeing that. I'm way way slower than that so I now know why it is taking me so long to finish my projects, haha. Thanks again Christa!! PS Don't change a thing about your WIP's Videos, POD's etc. Children always come first! Hook on!
I love seeing what you are working on, don’t change anything about your videos. People need to learn some patience! Over the summer I hope to do the never ending flower shall and a graphgan but I know I will have a million projects on the go so hard to say what will get finished lol
I love seeing all of your WIP’s, Krista. It gives me so many ideas...and I love to get things started while I am inspired so I don’t forget, lol Goals for the summer are to finish some summer WIP’s I have started. A summer shawl, summer vest, my never ending flower shawl, and to finish a graphghan that I started for my hubby.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with your videos. I love them! You're one of my favorites to watch. My goal this summer is to get at least 2 more Christmas blankets done for my 5 kids and their spouses. ;)
Crista you should do your videos the way you want them! I love seeing your projects and WIPS. It doesn’t matter if and/or when you do the tutorial. Keep on keepin on Crista - love your channel and everything you do 💜

Hello doll! Would love a tutorial on the turtle! My goals are more charity for the cancer institute! Thank you for sharing XXX
The designer of the turtle is Heidi Bears, you can find her on ravelry and you have to purchase the pattern. She has a lot of cute animals, even the hippo that you see is from Heidi. There are no videos for it, but there are for the african flower hexagons.

I thoroughly enjoy the fact that you have so many WIPS going at once! I have a kingsized scrappy blanket I am working on, bit by bit, but keep thinking about starting a Party Cardi for the fall. I'm also planning on getting my (very small, but soon to be larger) yarn stash organized. Your "yarny enthusiasm" is rubbing off on me! TY!
That's awesome, Robin Eason! xx
I love seeing your wips please keep sharing with us
Oh thank you so much, Sandy Goodwinl! xx
I like when u show us your wips it gives me ideas what to crochet and it’s your channel do what u like to do
Thanks so much, Diane Garland! xx
Love your videos Christa! Loving all your yarn behind you. What a colorful palette. I enjoy seeing all your finishes and wips. My goals for summer crocheting are to work on some amigurumi’s, make a shawl and a blanket. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Thanks so much, Sonya!!! HUGS!
Love the colours brings out the colour in the middle x
Thanks so much, Caroline Stewart! xx
Happy to see your WIPs. Some how it makes more sense with a large family that you don't just get to sit down to complete a project or video without a lot of interference. We have a large family also and things do tend to get pretty crazy sometimes!
My summer goal is to get at least one blanket for each person in the house and completely fill my ottoman with shawls and wraps by September. Currently there are 8 people: 3 adults 3 teens and 2 toddlers to make blankets for, but I'm making all the blankets large.
Currently finishing up my spring goals though of brightening up my living room
Oh thank you so much, angie mannl! xx
hoo yah! that bordered blanket worked up FABULOUSLY! can see it much better here than on Instagram. the orange IS everything! 😃👍🏼
Riiiiight, m nieto!?? Totally! I'm still swooning!! ha ha ha! xx
This is your channel and anybody that enjoys it will continue to enjoy it the way you choose to do it. I personally find it very informative. Thanks for all your effort to bring it to all .
Oh thank you so much, Sharon Yarbroughl! xx
hi Christa, my daughter would love the shawl. beautiful finished WIPs. love the orange picot border, saw it on IG but really couldn't see the detail. my Crochet goals for the summer like you to finish all 7 WIPs I have, in between home hunting, packing, moving and unpacking!! really enjoyed your podcast again pretty lady. looking forward to Friday live tomorrow!!
Oh thank you so much, Rio DJeNIROl! xx
Christa- I just love your enthusiasm & spunkiness! Girl, u are a hoot! My crochet goals for the summer is to get as many chemo caps & lapghans made as possible for our local breast cancer center. In between making those I am starting a few afghans for Christmas gifts. If I might add, I like seeing ur wips & so what if it takes u a yr (or even more) to finish them & put out a tutorial! It’s ur channel & ur life, so do u girl! Peace, Love & Blessings! Keep on hooking & I am looking forward to ur next video/podcast/tutorial or whatever u choose to upload! 😊🌻
Awe! Thank you so much, Kimber Linn! xx
I love that you show us your wips!! I love that you show us and talk to us about your struggles with color choices. It makes me feel better about my struggles and ABSOLUTELY makes me more inspired to make different things or add things to my future wip list
Awe! Thank you so much, Kristine Tresler! 🌺🌷🌺
You just keep being you! I love watching .You are awesome and your heart is so good! Thanks for all you do Christa!
Awe! Thank you so much, Happytohook Creations! 🌺🌷🌺
I have never had more than 1 WIP at a time before....and then I forget cool ideas.... You have inspired me to go with my ideas and then focus on finishing when my mind is quiet... My Winter goal (Australia ) is developing all of my ideas and inspirations and being really productive! Thank you! Xxx
You have the most inspiring channel I could find for crochet. You got it goin' on girl! Xx
Nice to see a fellow Aussie here! Blessings from South Australia.💟 🐨
Awe! Thank you so much, Clare Loney! xx
Love that you share your wips and all your projects! Please keep doing that! As for finishing and filming I think you are killing it! A mom of 4, wife and youtube maven....pretty dang great what you accomplish girl!
Awe! Thank you so much, Susan West! xx
My goals for the summer are to make as many summer tops as I can. Love all the projects. I think people forget that youtubers lives are not all about UA-cam. We have kids, jobs and so many more things going on. Keep the WIP's coming. Love seeing them.
Awe! Thank you so much, Jenny's Creations! xx
Crista I just love that you have a lot of WIPS on the go, so do I and I refuse to feel guilty about it lol... I believe it's the sign of a creative artistic mind (not that those who prefer working on one project at a time are not creatively artistic!). I adore the variety that having a lot of WIPS brings, different colours and types of yarn different hook sizes which help to stave off hand fatigue, big wips, small wips, I love it all. I "squirrel" with my crochet all the time, jumping from one wip to another... I'm never bored! Eventually they all get done and sometimes I get bunches of them finished in the same week and people on my crochet groups think I'm a crocheting machine hahaha... nah, I just plug away and enjoy the various croject journey's I'm on. I often watch my fave crochet podcasters (you are definitely one of those) while I'm happily hooking away. Love your work and your unboxings are very very helpful to me. My Ice Yarns cart is overflowing hahaha!
I agree Chickie Magoo! Thank you so much! xx
I appreciate your videos whenever they come out! For all of the people who are bothered that there isn't a tutorial on an item, you could warn them before that segment with one of your cute signs that it will be featuring items without tutorials and they can skip it. The rest of us will enjoy the video and can look forward to the tutorial WHENEVER you are ready for it! I want to start a special afghan for my dear sister this summer.
Awe! Thank you so much, Cindy Dehollander! GENIUS idea! LOL xx
i love how you show your progress of your projects
Thanks so much, Braid95! xx
I love seeing your wips and where you are going with them, I am happy to see you so happy and bouncy it makes my day.
Awe! Thank you so much, kim bamford! xx
I love seeing your wip and finish project,I like seeing your out and about. Most of all do what make you happy,what make you happy when your doing your video. My summer goal is finish project,do one charity project,start on Christmas gifts sent it going to over 100⁰f in Texas.
Awe! Thank you so much, Alechia Neathery! xx
Do you Christa, that's why I keep coming back! I like knowing what you're trying, tossing aside, considering, and reconsidering. If someone is stressing over your life and it's not you or your famiily then they are not invested enough in themselves. They need to reevaluate not you.
Congratulations to viewer of the week and dinner of the week.
My crochet goals to finish 2018 Christmas gifts and start early on 2019. I'm almost finished with the 2 iou and then will have 3 small ones that are Christmas is here when you're back.🙏💜💜💜
Awe! Thank you so much, Karla Bavousett! xx
Keep doing your WIPS . This summer I would like to get my sewing and crocheting stuff organized . I live in a small 2-storey house and storage is tight . My niece wants me to make her a ripple afghan , but I don't like the up and down the whole way across for a king size afghan . I was thinking of doing 1 set of a ripple and going around like a mile-minute afghan . Have a great week !!!
Sounds fabulous, Cindy Jo Moore! Thank you! xx
Love seeing your WIPS, it gives so much inspiration to see someone as organized as you has items waiting to be finished 😊
Thanks, Stitch Itch! xx
Great video.I guess I will have to watch your other videos. Love your positive point of view about where you live. Great.
Oh thank you so much, Luna Hl! xx
Krista, please be who you are, you are amazing! WIPS are great! Love your videos, watching you almost everyday when crocheting. Love it !!!
Awe! Thank you so much, Marianna Kriger! xx
Yes please continue to show us your Wips, I love seeing them, they help me get ideas for my own projects.
You should decide which projects you want to do tutorials on, doesn't matter to me which ones. I enjoy whatever you share with us.🧶😊
I thank you for all the time you put into sharing your love and knowledge of yarn and crochet with us.
Awe! Thank you so much, lyn osborne! xx
One of my goals for the summer is to make a top for myself.
And thank you Christa, for answering my question about the scrubby yarn.
And with your crocheting and tutorials, do them when you can/want.
If someone wants the item they should have patience and understand your situation.
Thanks so much, 2Arcticwolves! xx
Loved this video. Feels like you are sitting in my living room. You are. Clear and explicit in all your explanations. I love it.!!!! My goal for this summer is to crochet a bedspread in granny squares that I already started slowly and had to hold for a while because of some situationwith breathing and chest pains due to a heart condition. After a surgical procedure in March I have started to feel better and now I can re-start my project. In the meantime I have been crochetting small items and a beautiful dress for my soon to be 2 years old great-granddaughter. Thank you for your wonderful personality. Makes me feel young again.
Awe! Thank you so much, Rosa Saez! You are SO sweet! Thanks for inviting me over!! xx

With all the gorgeous Lambkin and beautiful colours of yarn with the dingle balls. Plus a dog bed made from t-shirt yarn for my wee Chihuahuas. Those are two projects I'd like to do this summer besides finish all the many wips I have going, lol. 😊

Hi, Christa. I am a fairly new subscriber, but I love to see all your WIPS & UFOS. I really hope that you don't let the "negative nancy's" try to tell you how to run your channel, just do you the best way you can.
For my summer crochet goals, I want to finish my c2c blanket (don't have enough yarn & might have to change to a shawl, lol) and I am working on scarves & hats for the homeless here in Medicine Hat, Alberta.
It's really cool to know that you're from Canada & have family still here. Tell your sister "hi" from me. Thank you for spending your time with all of us. Lots of love & positive thoughts and energies
Awe! Thank you so much, Crystal Gott! Medicine hat? My grandpa lived there back in the day! (circa 90's) BIG hugs!! xx
I love seeing your WIPs! Being a mom is more then a full time job - I respect that being a mom is your priority and will look forward to tutorials when you are able to do them!
Awe! Thank you so much, Stephanie Karst! xx
I like to see what you are working on as it gives me ideas of what I can do. My crochet goals for the summer are to make some blankets from my scrap to donate to care homes

Oh I am glad you like it, Nancy Diffee! Thank you!! xx
Christa you do what you want when you want how you want where you want! We love you! 😊❤️
Oh thank you so much, Akshatha Kinil! xx
Hi Christa. Do what you choose! I enjoy seeing your WIPs and, of course, FOs. It's interesting to see color combos or stitches I might not have considered. Only do tutorials if and when you choose. I am learning (at my fossil age) that many people seem to feel entitled to demand what they want. Whereas I feel grateful for you generously sharing your time, talent and knowledge. No timetables for anything or it will become a chore rather than pleasure.
Only sale I'm aware of in my area, SE Wisconsin, is Hobby Lobby. This week crochet threads and floss are 30% off, next week yarn will be on sale 30% off. They have been running these sales alternating weeks for quite a while now.
I'm about 3/4 finished knitting a summer top. And have started and ripped out crocheted top numerous times! Trying to work in #10 thread and keep overestimating size! Those are my only real goals. I always have a pair of socks in the works for when I watch dvds.
I thoroughly enjoy your videos, that's why I keep coming back. Thanks for brightening my day and being lovely company. 💖
Awe! Thank you so much, Ann Wilkerson! xx
I’m only 6 minutes into the video but I wanted to tell you (before the kids distract me) that I LOVE the dress you’re wearing! The shawl looks great with it too!
Awe! Thank you so much, Mandy Pomeroy! xx
Krista wips are great it gives me something to look forward to. My summer crochet goals is to get all my Christmas gifts and decorations for the tree
Oh thank you so much, Carol Evansl! xx
You are a very busy mom and zoo keeper ha ha ha , you are good enough to give up your time to share your knowledge with us. I don't care how long It takes. Why is everyone in such a hurry. Thank you Christa xxx
Awe! Thank you so much, linda rymill! 🌺🌷🌺

So, I am watching this POD and whoa, I hear my name, Thank you so very much for answering my question and also showing us how fast you crochet. YES, you are fast!! I don't know anyone that does crochet so it was great seeing that. I'm way way slower than that so I now know why it is taking me so long to finish my projects, haha. Thanks again Christa!! PS Don't change a thing about your WIP's Videos, POD's etc. Children always come first! Hook on!
Awe! Thank you so much, Carla Vehrs! xx
I like seeing the wips regardless of when they will be finished.
Thanks so much, Zur33l! xx
I love seeing what you are working on, don’t change anything about your videos. People need to learn some patience! Over the summer I hope to do the never ending flower shall and a graphgan but I know I will have a million projects on the go so hard to say what will get finished lol
Oh thank you so much, Cec Vl! xx
I love seeing all of your WIP’s, Krista. It gives me so many ideas...and I love to get things started while I am inspired so I don’t forget, lol Goals for the summer are to finish some summer WIP’s I have started. A summer shawl, summer vest, my never ending flower shawl, and to finish a graphghan that I started for my hubby.
