I saw the words "crochet" and "cat" so I clicked! ❤

Yesssss😻😻😻😻😻

I love watching your videos while I work on a project. It’s like stitching with a friend, and being that I live by myself and have been throughout Covid and quarantine, I could always use a friend to stitch with. 💖💖💖

That's exactly how I feel! Toni is like a friend and makes crocheting with her really nice :) Thanks Toni for being a great crochet friend ....

I’ve spent many hours crocheting with my cat, Nala. She was a stray that had been abused before we rescued her. Nala had been abused, so even after 5 years she is skittish. But she lives to sit with me while I crochet snd she looks at cat tv (the window in front of the porch). I’d say it’s our favorite thing to do!!

This is a motivational tip I heard in the context of getting into the habit of drawing practice, but I think it could work for crochet as well: decide before you start how long you're going to work for but choose a really short amount of time, 10 minutes or less. Set a timer and once it's over put away your project for the rest of the day regardless of whether you want to keep going with it. Then the next day, or in a couple of days, or even a week, plan to do it again. Limiting the amount of time you spend makes it easy to work on your project when you have a free few minutes even if you don't really want to because it's so low commitment, and once you start getting into the project and putting it away even if you want to keep going you'll want to spend more time doing it. Once you get to a point you wish you were spending more time on your project, start setting your timer for longer and longer, and eventually you'll find you're spending the amount of time you always thought you "should" be working on your project and also enjoying it 😊 Also, podcasts, audiobooks, and live streams are your friends; I always have something on in the background while I'm crocheting or knitting 👌😉👍

This is the best suggestion ever. Thank you.

I love the way you teach, and your voice is so calming.

I was inspired to start working on a temperature blanket to commemorate the years my two teens will be in high school (one blanket for each year) because of the temperature blanket videos you posted. What you said, "You can start a temperature blanket at any time," was the specific point of inspiration. I decided to start each of the blankets on the girls' birthdays instead of in the traditional Jan-Dec timeframe. My suggestion for the early 2000s playlist? Oasis' Champagne Supernova, They Might Be Giants' You're Not the Boss of Me Now or Particle Man

Saw the title never saw a cat crochet, but i thought "why not ill watch" It was great. :)

This was so relaxing. Grabbed the blanket I'm making and curled up with a pup and a kitty. 🧡

Toni, I have a black cat too. They’re amazing!!

Awww Sheba was being so polite about asking for some scritches. I wish I could even knit that fast, let alone crochet, but I ate while you crocheted, and we both finished up at the same time. And the cat tax was an added bonus.

Great tips for finishing projects. I have a couple more tips. 1) I keep a notebook with all my projects and their details written down (hook size, pattern source, etc). Seeing my wips in writing helps motivate me, and 2) I crochet while I watch TV to make better use of the time.

Loved this, so meditative! And I absolutely adore Sheba - reminds me of my own little black cat.

I love your cat!! She's seems to be decently bonded to you, when she looks up at you and how she looks at you makes my heart melt; you see the love for you in her eyes!

Crochet + audiobooks is a great combination; I get to relax *and* look/feel like I'm accomplishing something at the same time.

Ok this may sound odd, but it made me feel better that you take off the sleeve of the yarn... I've been crocheting for 3-4 years, but I still feel like a beginner and still feel like there are taboos that I just didn't know about and have always been scared that removing the label was one of them... So yes, I still fight around it lol it may seem like an odd thing to seasoned crocheters, but I've taught myself everything since I don't know anyone else who does it... Finding your videos has been a lot of help and has helped me branch out and not be afraid to mess up! Edit: OK again, sorry for the book! But I needed to thank you again for showing a casual video. Watching someone like you still need to pull out stitches, or recount, or readjust is such a relief. You are definitely much faster at this, but it's such a relief to see that perfection isn't expected. It seems a lot of hobbies get tainted with that expectation from the pros and makes it much more intimidating

I just recently found your channel a couple of months ago and am currently sitting here watching and listening to you as I am working on my 2nd Kima Cardi. I love your videos. Thank you for so much inspiration and motivation. You have one of the most calming and soothing voices for teaching I have ever heard. The first video I ever watched of yours renewed my love for crochet once again. Keep being you and again thanks for everything you do. 💖

Hello there. I found your videos just today and have watched several on tunesian crochet. You explain it all very well. I especially like how carefully you show the beginning and ends of the rows. I've done a bunch of basic T crochet squares to then do cross stitch embroidery on. It only hit me today about the first stitch in return rows. The patterns always just said to do one loop and then 2-2-2-2 across. Only today when you called it a chain stitch did I have a DOH! moment! I've made a million chains in my life but it just never occurred to me that the familiar V pattern on the edge was a chain! You are a remarkable teacher.

I can’t believe how enjoyable it was to yarn along with you tonight. I really loved to knit and look up to see you crocheting away with your gorgeous cat. What a great idea to just hang out with you guys. Thank you

I don't know how you can crochet sitting like that! Back super straight good job! I also recently got some cotton kings twirls and oh my I love working with it!

This was the perfect mid-workday break.

I loved this! The perfect way to wind down on a Friday night! Would love more “crochet with me” videos

Yes please, more crochet with me!

This was great! Especially loved the sections with the calmer music, but great music choices in general and it was great to learn some more about you!

I just love your videos. I love the information, your tone/manner/personality, and authenticity. Love love love!

I am so here for that power ballad playlist!!

This was a great idea, just to chill out and kick back with a little crochet. You have a lovely teaching style, a lot of tutorials are a bit clinical and soulless but with you it's like having a friend in the room going through it with you. I'm going to set aside a little time next week to watch your basic stitches in the Tunisian style, I've only been crocheting about 6 weeks but going to give it a go as you never know until you try.

I enjoyed this while I was cross stitching tonight---I did a ton of crochet and knitting yesterday. Happy spring!

You talked about your favorite songs from your teenage years and yes those are certified bops. I was born in 2000 but those songs stayed on the radio and were on my sister's ipod so I love them to this day.

I love watching your videos. You are such a gentle soul. Thank you for your tutorials and for sharing your knowledge with us! 🌸🥰

I absolutely loved this!! Please keep doing this, I love your energy and it was so cozy crocheting with you.

Thank you for answering my question! I absolutely love your videos and get so excited every time there’s a new one ❤️

I so respect your ability to be self motivated and keep everything moving forward. It’s hard! I’ve done my own business and it is so much work. Love watching you crochet! It’s been a long while for me. You are inspiring me back to it.

crocheting vicariously thru u because i hurt my wrist yesterday 💕

Cook by day and I love hearing people talk about dishes they enjoy, will definitely be trying that salmon recipe. And thank you for your crochet content, I love putting on your videos and banging out washcloths and cotton rounds. It helps me feel like I'm working with friends and makes it a nice experience

I too watch Anna & Artisan Geek!! And you, of course! As a mostly knitter, I get ideas and inspiration from crocheters

I just found you the other day... and I can't put into words how much I'm in love.😻😻😻 You are like a cream cake with coffee and extra cream on Sunday with friends. Thank you for being here!🙏

I’m really happy to see this pattern in a lighter weight yarn! I made the original shawl in the worsted weight yarn and don’t wear it as much as I’d like to because it’s a little heavy for my climate. 😊. Loved this format for a video. It was fun!

Just discovered your crochet break! This was just what l needed to listen to when l sit and crochet to relax in the evening. Love hearing you answer the questions and the music in between. Thank you for this.

It was so fun to crochet with you during this video! I loved the format. I hope you have a beautiful day! ❤🧶❤️

I LOVED this! So nice and relaxing, and fun getting to know you better. Love the Sheba pets too. :) I worked on knitting a second sock, and made lots of progress.

Such a lovely personal video! Thanks for sharing some quiet crochet time with me. I'd love to see part 2!

This was awesome. I just happen to be working on a shawl and I’m using Cotton Kings Twirls also 😊 It was so relaxing to crochet along with you and hear the questions and answers. Thank you 😊 Blessings 💜💜

What else do you need? A hot beverage, a warm cat and a hook with some yarn! Perfect! My question is...how come I just found you? Love your little tarbaby girl! Mine is called One Toke!

So relaxing 😌 Enjoyed this with a cup of coffee, a lap cat, and my knitting. Your videos always make me happy

Please make more videos like this! Relaxing and I love to hear more about you!

What a great way to start my morning. I just love listening to you while I crochet 🧶. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. 💚😊💚😊

LOVED this video idea - it was so fun to take a break and crochet with you. Hoping to see more like this :)

I throughly enjoyed this video thanks what a great way to get questions answered especially the time setting thanks. I watch you on knit and crochet today also.

I loved this crochet time with you! But I didn't see anymore like this on your channel! I hope you will do this more often, because I really loved it and it was a perfect break from my day! Thank you!

Very nice concept for a video. The music was perfect. Looking forward to seeing how how this project looks when completed. Enjoy your weekend.

Toni, first off I love your channel!! Second, so look forward to your Q/A, yarn reviews and those wonderful Hacks. Oh, and I love how personable you are 💜

Thank you for this chill crafty Q&A!

A wonderful relaxing video. I love listening to you talk (and my boyfriend mentioned he thinks you're one of the nicest sounding people, he'll often peek to see what's going on). Have a wonderful day, and thank you for the video!

Girl, you are a fast crocheter! Go girl go!

Hobbii twirls and twisters are some of my favorites as well as scheepjes whirls. I live for that color change and watching how the gradient works up in each color way. So exciting that I often stay up way too late working on something.

I watched you video on the hooks and tried the long arthritis hooks, I realize now why you need good hooks. What a difference thank you for your videos they are awesome

Thank you for sharing this video! By the way... I'm impressed with how chill your cat is around yarn! I just got my first cat, and she will not leave my yarn alone... I'm hoping she'll get used to me knitting and crocheting eventually and will calm down a little... As it is, I have to retreat to a separate room to do my yarn crafts.

I really enjoyed this! I was busy unloading the dishwasher while listening and thought I should be knitting on my project! A basic shawl as I am a beginner. I’m anxious to get this done so I can start a new project with hand dyed yarn my first time!

I loved the video and have been waiting for it all week.

Thanks for answering my question!!! It made my day! 💜💜💜 I'm starting the Sedona sweater today!!!

This was fun. Thank you for sharing your answers. Coldplay's Yellow was the song we played at our wedding after we said our "I do's". Have a great day Toni. ❤

Your yarn colors 😍 it makes me think of mangos and sunsets and hibiscus flowers

Thank you for this! Super relaxing

You’re terrific. And I can breathe a sigh of relief that someone as talented as you can’t get a grip on C2C crochet. I have tried hard because I love the way it looks, but nope, can’t get it. I love your videos and thank you for taking the time to share your creativity, enthusiasm, and Frank opinions. Stay well.

I loved this! It was like sitting and crocheting with a friend. I don't have any crafty friends so this was a treat.

Watching and listening to you is always relaxing, entertaining and informative. I love the idea of this video and hope you do it again. I also love the paint nite paintings in the background, I have painted a similar one myself.

i have an annoying cold and after watching this i feel better allready thankyou your amazing xx

I’m so looking forward to your book coming out. I have put it on my “book depository” wishlist. 🌹❣️

Totally enjoyed this! Would love more of these!

You are so good at explaining I would totally subscribe to an online course! And you have a mini panther too! I love your personality!

Okay I didn't think I'd like the "talk, music, talk, music" format but this was SUPER easy to crochet too and felt more "normal" because when two folk crochet together there ARE gaps where I focus on my work. So I got to focus on my work during the music bits but listen to chat during the talking bits. I really enjoyed this format.

This was a fun idea. Hope you make it a thing! I need to get that shawl pattern asap :)

Heeeey there! I'm from Mexico City. I discovered your yt channel about three weeks ago and let me tell you I'm in loved. You're great at crocheting, I have learned a lot from your tutorials!!! You are lovely!

baby, I know we cantaloupe, but honeydew be mine! I couldn't resist after that opening joke haha!!

✨🧶✨Hey Toni. This was awesome!!! You are an extremely hard worker & I’m so thrilled that you are part of the folks putting CROCHET on the map. I get so irritated with knit snobbery. Hugs & much love.✨🧶✨

I loved this video. Thank you for sharing.

I enjoyed this video and can't wait to see your shawl. I'm would love you to do another such video. Thank you.

How fun was this? Thank you!! : )

Literally watched this video in the hopes you would tell us how you keep your hands looking so good! I work in a yarn mill and crochet regularly so my hands are in dire need of some tlc! Thanks for the tips 😊

That was very interesting. The yarn you are working with is beautiful.

That was fun. I really love watching your videos. I love the way you teach and I'm learning Tunisian Crochet from your tutorials. It's easier than I thought. I'm sorry you don't like to crochet corner to corner. That is my "go to" when I have left over yarn and don't know what to do with it. I wip up another blanket in c2c. Look forward to your next video. Take care.

Hi! Love your cat and you're about the only crochet youtuber I follow; your style and calming voice are awesome. my question is, have you seen anyone else's patterns lately that you saw and just HAD to try, either for new techniques, new yarns or just something you fell in love with?

I love crochet too. I mainly crochet Amigurumi because I like making them. At the moment though I am busy crocheting a curtain for a window. We have four cats. So we are catlovers. Our youngest cat Aminda, loves to steal my balls of cotton yarn to take them to our eldest cat.

OMGS! i love anna too! she's so so talented at crochet and funny

Thank you for sharing! I'm always amazed at designers abilities to come up with patterns. It's pretty magical to me! And I'm a Gen Xer, so my choice of favorite playlist songs is much older! 🤣

Dear Toni, I absolutely love your KZread channel! You are the best! I am legally blind and crochet with an adaptive crochet method. I have been crocheting since 1982.

Just got caught up on my "weather wall-hanging" while hanging out with you, Terry! (This is going to be way too big to be wearable; so I'm going to have to make it into wall art at the end of the year, I think!) I've been being so good since January, keeping up diligently, but just for the first time didn't touch it for a week - UH OH. Hope that's not a trend of the future - it's only May, after all! I enjoy all your vids and seeing your pretty face, too.Thanks!

As i crochet along with you...a corner to corner scarf LOL

New subscriber here. You also crochet with your cat so i love you already! 🙌

Yaaaas! I completed my basket weave Tunisian scarf with you! I really hate the yarn I picked but I learned a new thing and completed a project. Good work team. Also if you’re going to wear your wearables be sure to include the link to the pattern bc you know we are all going to be asking for them.

Perfect for Sunday morning coffee and crochet. Goal for the day is finish this baby Afghan, Rainbow Ripple great pattern easy to do without looking at pattern or is that cause I have made several. Worried about your back sitting like that, mine would kill me. Happy stitches 🧶🧶🧶

Hi Toni. You will enjoy the "Huntress" It is excellent. Also check out the other books that the author has. Take care and keep on stitching!!!!

Yes love this.

Thank you so much for this...

This was really nice. I just stated video grab a project and just listened

Looking forward to seeing the end result and how far 1 cake goes. My Twirls order arrived 2 days ago and I was quite surprised at how small the cakes are for 200g, I don't normally go for such a thin yarn as I have arthritis in my hands, but I love the colours of these and decided to give it a go while they were on sale.

I'm 9 and love crochet! and love your videos even more!!!🥰🥰🥰

Sheba??? Where’s your yarn 🧶😘💕🤗. Absolutely loved the Q&A crochet with me time TL Yarns. Stay FAB!!! The Handmaiden

Looking forward to the follow-up video "Weave in ends with me." It's a pain but we're going to do it together.

Ohio in the house. So nice watching you create!
