WOW! Love your GAME PLAY concept to create a blanket with Premier Puzzle Yarn!!!! Your squares look fantastic! Thank you for such a brilliant idea!!!! Have fun bringing the blanket to fruition!!!
For me this is such an important part of all the things - "My Mom raised me so now it's my turn to raise her; She's living her best life! " Sadly, very few people reason that way. You are truly special, Juan! May God bless you richly❤
Hi Juan my name is Elena I am a crafter to,knitting,crochet ,lace crochet ,needle point and few more .I enjoy your podcast and I founded inspired .And about your mom shes a beautiful lady for her age I am about 10 years younger and I knit for my daughter and my 2 beautiful grand children’s and a little for me not enough time .wishing u and your mom a good and pleasant 2024
Hi Juan, awesome happy mail❤. Before you use your Sophie's Universe book; you might want to consider putting it in a spiral format. Easier to work from as well as the pages won't fall apart. Take care
Hi Juan, I bought the Sophie's Universe and the yarn in a prepackaged box set two years ago as a retirement gift for myself. I intend to start on it later this year. It's so beautiful but I'm really intimidated by the thought of it. All the more reason to make it! Keep us posted on your journey.
When you showed the grey hat you're working on. .you gave me an idea 💡 The idea I'm thinking of is leg warmers!! My mom is 84 years old and her legs get cold. She needs leg warmers. It may work!! 👍👍❤
I love doing the red pad. Been using this pattern for a couple of years now. I’m currently working on one using red heart super saver, favorite stripes and a 10.5 hook. I do like the way your gray hat look. The size 8 hook did a really good job. And I think the idea of doing a single crochet around the top before closing is a really good idea. It looks really nice. This hat is really versatile. I like to use the red hearts stripes for it, because the colors are just so bright. Lisa from Happytohook Creations, has been making the ribs hat with scrap yard. Her heads look great. This is that’s a fun way to make a hat. I like it much better than the traditional beanie.😊
Nice yarn haul, I haven’t seen those colors before on those cinnamon swirls. Your game play projects will be cool when you get it finished. Thanks for sharing everything with us. My daughter and I started Sophie’s last year, mine is still a wip, she is further along than me, I tend to get board with a project when I get frustrated, Good luck my friend, I’m sure you will finish it
Oh my days was strange to here you say Redditch in the UK where your hooks were made ive lived in Redditch for 53 years and the needle industry was a huge part of our town back in the day x
❤❤❤❤❤ I love Crystal's stitch sampler beanie...I am on my third version. I'm using mandala ombre in green, using 2strands together. It looks marled... I love it... You are so good to your mom, it's very sweet. IMy mom, Ms Helen ,has poor health and I have been trying to see her and talk to her more...hugs to both of you, friend...😊😊😊😊😊
I love the idea of turning the hat into a pot holder & I like the colorway.... Yes, I've completed my project and I am ready for Hooker vs Hooker reveal 🫣 See you later😊
Juan, I do apologize for this comment. It was not meant for your podcast. I was watching another UA-cam video and I guess I commented on it when it was about to end & this video was next in line lol. Thank you for liking this comment even though you probably didn't know what it's about.
Hi Juan 👋, awesome yarn as Always, the cinnamon swirl with the brown streaks reminds me of Fudge Swirl ice cream 😋 Cool happy mail, the biggest crochet hook i have is 30mm lol and thats so awesome that Nancy sent you a Sofies Universe Book! I want to attempt the blanket some day when im more comfortable with my crochet😊
Hi Juan ! Love those colors of yarn. I’ve made three of your hats ! I’m about to do another JUST A HAT ! lol ! Love it ! ❤ Ooohhhhh a star stitch beanie !!! Can’t wait ❤
Hi Juan! Congratulations on 26k! Love the beanies. I was the caregiver for my grandmother seven years. I loved the time together and listening to her stories. After she died I had three years to rebuild my life. I spent the last six years as caregiver for my Mother. People have no idea how hard it can be and how emotionally exhausting. Please take care of yourself. Take a few hours to yourself and ask for help when you need it. I’m praying for both of you.
I was caregiver for my mom for years I know it’s physically and emotionally exhausting but so glad I had that time with her miss her so glad you had that time together with your grandma it’s memories we will cherish forever!
Great video!! Awesome content!! Loved the WIPs, the beanies look awesome and look forward to seeing that sweater come to fruition!!! Thank you for sharing your yarn haul, like those swirl cakes and yes that periwinkle is lovely!! Also, I think I actually like your idea of adding in the "wrong blue" in your MM kit. It sure was a great addition when you held them all up together. Oh, and the Game Play Blanket is going to look awesome!! Very nice happy mail!!
I've been wanting to do Sophie's too - last year I got ready to join the CAL but realized I was getting too many projects going and that needs more focus. I WILL make it.
Hi Juan...I did some spying and Mary Maxim currently does not offer Glimmer in baby blue, only light blue. Maybe they discontinued it after they put together the kits? Either way, they should have let you know instead of just sneaking in another color! I think all four colors look really good together.
I had to laugh...I was just sitting here working on my Just A Hat and clicked on this video. My granddaughter went to Walmart and came home with something for me. "Just a skein of yarn". (one, 1, just one) So, I said, "it's going to be Just A Hat". I think she thought I was kidding. Good video, Juan. Thanks :)
Hi Juan how are you doing tonight I'm doing fine tonight your wips are very beautiful colors and very beautiful work thank you for sharing stay safe ❤❤
Oooh wonderful happy mail and your WIPs and squares look great. I have been wanting to make Sophies Universe for a long time and I have been curious about the book. If possible can you let us know a little bit more about that book. It looks way bigger than I imagined it would be, lol. 😅😊
Hello!!! I love your videos so nice to grab coffee, a wip and a project and crochet and watch! I started Sophie's last year and made it a UFO, I need to get it back out!😊
YES!! A fellow Purple-holic!!🙌🏻❤️🤣 What is your favorite purple yarn? I’am LOVING your videos…your personality/energy are refreshing! Congrats on 26K! I’am going to start a Sophie’s Universe soon! I’m currently finishing the Charlotte’s Universe for my Mother-in-Law! Can’t wait to see your progress❤️
Hi Juan. Remember I went down to a 6.5 mm hook. Also I ordered the same yarn as you did. So what I am going to do is put the both colors of blue together in the afghan. The only way we can get the baby blue yarn is to buy another kit, which I am not going to do. Thank you. ♥️ I have some left skeins of the original kit. So I bought 7 skeins of the light blue, 2 more skeins of each of the other colors. I love the afghan. I was a caregiver for my parents for 11 years, before they passed. Love the tutorials and all the things ..... You are inspirational to us all. 😊
Hi Juan, Love your little giggle, it shows exactly how much Joy that is down in your Heart when you are talking about YARN and "All the THINGS" .. Now I am the one giggling, as I get just as excited as you, trust me. Love your Beanies, and the PURPLE of coarse is wonderful. Hope you are having a wonderful Mid week and up coming rest of your week / up coming weekend ahead.
I love all the vintage thimgs as well!! Im a little older than you.. taught myself to crochet during pandemic… my 80 yr old mom told me i could take her crochets hooks that she wasn’t using…. So to this day i adore using her boye hooks!! 5mm is my jam!! So fun to see those vintage omes that you received!! Thank you Juan for all you do!!! Im addicted to your channel!! Its the best!!
We need a tutorial for the star stitch beanie/slouchy. I have made several hats similar to the It's Just a Hat beanie and I always have holes where I transition from my main stitch (hdc) to my smaller stitch (sc/sl) using a 5mm hook. The star stitch beanie appears more solid.
Purple, periwinkle, cornflower all the purples are awesome to me. Sitting here with my Sophie's book. Round 67. Great book it really has all the things!!!
Love you showing your wips and all the things. I'm interested in how the hats turn out. I purchased that blanket book but I'm in the middle of another big project so maybe when I've finished I will start it. Love sophie's universe. I also bought a mosaic crochet book . Hopefully I can collect enough yarn to make a couple more blankets. Thank you for the video Juan say hi to Wilma for me :)
I’m using a 6 on my green blanket I’m making with the new cinnamon swirl cakes in spearmint had to get some more and could only find one in alllll the stores so I got mint in loops and threads soft classic I will end cap my blanket with it . They’re so beautiful I need to get more colors but they make an expensive blanket my daughter bought me mine for Christmas 😊 I have that periwinkle in my CAL blocks. Time to make some baskets with those big a.. hooks 😊

Cost less than $5 @ Office Depot. Well worth it. I was amazed how inexpensive and quick it was to have done.
So now that Nancy's gifted you the Sophie's Universe book, you know what happens now, right?
🧶 Yarn haul(s)!!! 🧶
Have a great day. 🐞
Another engaging fun stuff content, I have the new and old Susan Bates, but I love the vintage ones best, they slide like butter.

I just learned that there was a stitch called extended single crochet!
I loved the hooks and all the things. I want to be a sister too! LOL
Cool idea for just a hat sweater. Excited to see! And the slouchy star beanie!
