Thank you so much for your teaching abilities. I purchased this sampler afghan pattern. Some of the stitches I am unfamiliar with. You make them so easy to complete. Thanks again for all your help!
My pleasure! Happy Crocheting!!!
Awesome. Love it
@@gardenstatesowandsew thanks! Ours is still going strong... we love it! Thanks for watching 😀
This is a great find.
@@user-ck6uy5ij7e it truly was!
Wunderschön und friedlich
Get a certified copy of your birth certificate. With the seal stamped on it. That's what we did.
We did ... for both of us it was well over $100 ... insane!
@@countrymamamusings7701 Oh wow, here it's $25
Horrible. Very horrible. Happy you are safe. Happy you have a son to help you ❤
Indeed ... on all counts!
Super 👍india
Ohhhh crap. 😢😢
Indeed 😞 😞
It happens to the best of us. Glad you are sharing. The other thing is that our police department has a place you can sell/trade items. You give the person the address and they meet at a specific location. The police department has cameras too. But that’s an issue only if you’re selling locally.
Yes. Meeting at the police/sheriff dept. is a safe place to exchange goods. I usually set up exchanges at such locations, but with larger items, we meet at the farm; not anymore
Unbelievable--so frustrating that there are so many scammers
I honestly never knew it was so prevalent. To be hit twice in just a few mins was crazy. I'll never use marketplace again!
Wow! That's crazy!!!! Thanks so much for sharing! I hope you don't mind but I'm going to share this out!
Not at all... I'm admitting my foolishness so others won't make the same mistake. It needs to be shared
I used to sell Plants starts locally, but had a bad feeling on the last ones I sold to a gentleman, ...decided not to do it anymore...Its hard to sell anything online anymore thru marketplace or any local online yard sales...its scary...Have a Blessed day
Best to go with that gut feeling! Stay safe.
Recipes? Where are they
I provide the recipe, step by step in the video 😀
I wish I would have found you when I was just starting! Your videos would have been so helpful !
I'm happy to read this! Welcome to crochet! You're going to find so many wonderful things to create now! Have fun! Thank you for watching 😀
Just found this project! I am new to crochet (November) and I am completely obsessed! I really enjoy learning new stitches and I am so excited to make this. I had no idea that such a marvelous thing known as a crochet along even existed until recently! One question, you recommend using a 5mm hook, but my yarn suggests a 5.5mm which should I use? Thank yo! Looking forward to each and every block!
Hello there! I'm so glad you've fallen in love with the art of crochet! I'm sure you'll enjoy these squares 😀 As for the question about the hook size, the pattern itself calls for the 5.0 Size H crochet hook. I would stay with the 5.0 if you have one on hand. Of course, the afghan squares will still come out nicely with a 5.5 Size I hook, but will be a bit larger in size 😀 either way, you're good!
just wanted to say how wonderful and truly helpful these videos are! 🌟
@@ethanquinn8316 I'm happy to hear that! I know when I first crocheted this afghan over 25 yrs ago, I had wished I had something to help ... it's why I wanted to put these tutorials together... I knew I wasn't the only one feeling that way 😀 Happy Crocheting!
Did you notice any difference in blood sugar? Great vid!
At the time I was doing this AND getting my steps in every day, yes! On its own, I have nothing to share as I was really involved In walking challenges at that time, so I was on the move, logging over 250 miles last fall. As stated in other comments, though, it’s great for your circulation and stretching out those muscles 😁. Just did several rounds just while replying to your comment….thank you for the motivation 😀
Awesome, thanks! Keep up the great work!@@countrymamamusings7701
I watched the gender reveal party you did for the baby turkeys.. were you correct on the genders..
Hi :) thanks for watching! Pretty much spot on! The only discrepancy was the one poult that Papa Jim said looked like a Tom based on the head shaped, but we misgenedered as female... everyone else was correct! 😀
One off the list. Your looking good.
Thank you! We're so thrilled to have been able to do this together ❤️
Hey Alicia. A note: I’m an adv crocheter & your added comments re: if you’re Lhanded was slightly confusing! Why did you add that &. If one is LH shouldn’t they be watching the LH vid & not this R-handed one? Teaching beginners, I know how easily confused things can get. Maybe I missed the reason you threw that in? Love your vids on the 63! Natural Teacher!
Valid point. I added that extra snippet because I'm left handed and I learned early on that my popcorn were on the wrong side. As I crochet these tutorial s.left handed and THEN edit that footage using special fippity floppity editing magic it makes me look right handed 😉 ... This was just an oddity in which I needed to push that reminder to either / or left/right.. 😊
Warranty doesn't pay. Facts I know cuz I left a dealership for the same reason 💯
Truth! And now, they’re working so straight book time isn’t much better than warranty!
That Tool Vault Elite XL 84” 23-Drawer Roller Cabinet with Hutch and 2 Side Lockers COST $11,000.00
If only …..
On Average the Dealership Labor Rates are $131.00 per Hour. The Grease Monkey has to supply his own Tools 💲and doesn't get paid Enough and his or her take-home pay doesn't get them home anymore IMO.
And, sadly, the tech only sees a small portion of that hourly rate; something customers don’t know or understand. Yet, they bear 100% of the wear and tear on their bodies; the bloody knuckles, the burns, etc …and, yes, have to provide their own tools for the privilege… 😔
The time it pays to work on newer vehicles and how non-repair friendly they are just isn't worth the pay the book time says it takes to do. Getting mechanic level pay for technician level work.
Spot on
Dealers cheat the mechanic out of money.
It’s definitely a situation where the dealers hold all the cards and techs are at the bottom of the totem pole.
Because new vehicles suck to work on. It doesn't pay enough. I wouldn't work for flat Rate.
Flat Rate = feast or famine…and lately, there’s less and less feast
Because dealers don't want to pay what we are worth They feel they should collect the big money
Indeed
That's probably about a 50k toolbox. 😮
The Snap-On driver has his number, doesn’t he? 😜
Hippie
Oh, cute idea!
Is there a Right Hand vid?? Ty!❤️
There sure is :)... here ya go :) kzread.info/dash/bejne/gal8utBmgrLHoag.html

R u ambidextrous I real life too (lol!)? That’s skill, Girl!!!
I'm only ambidextrous when hitting the editing button 😉 ... seriously, though, I'm a lefty that grew up in a righty world, so there are many different tasks that require either / or.
Just curious! Did you crochet ea sq in chronological order or by row or column or alphabetical order or how did you choose which sq to do next??
I suggest going in order as the blocks are numbered as there may be a new skill learned in one block that is used in a subsequent block. Now, when it comes to assembly, there is a pattern…I just haven’t filmed an update…life’s been crazy… we’ll get there 😀
Hey guys, this is an amazing review. One of the best I’ve seen for this product. I love Cirkul and have also purchased their stainless steel bottles as well!
Hey! Thanks so much! We love them and use every day! We haven't purchased the stainless steel ones (yet) but we do have nice insulated sleeves for these 😀 Thanks for watching 😀
Genius
Works like a charm! Thanks for watching
I have an old one just like your real deal. There’s no name on it, so it probably has been restored at some point. Do you know the model & maker of yours?
I don’t know off the top of my head. I’ll have to pull it off the shelf tomorrow and check…I’ll get back to ya! Thanks for watching 😊
Checking back in @bobnolen7611 ... I took my grinder down off her perch, and looked and looked, but could not find any defining marks of identification... she's an old one, though!
Please note: when I say slip stitch, u mean to say slip knot ...
No
No, really…I did!
☺️
@@countrymamamusings7701 that’s great it’s just that it’s a thing in my household that we make fun of my mom because she brings home cow paintings from Hobby lobby a lot it’s just a ongoing joke because we have way too many of them it doesn’t hurt her feelings or anything she just laughs it off
Lol... I completely relate to that! I have a rather large painting of a cow in my living room and my son always says he feels like it's watching him...calls it the "mad cow'...lol
Never frumpy, just outgrew that chapter! Love the new look, you’re glowing and look so happy with it 😇
Thank you so much! I love turning the page to a new chapter! Thanks for watching 😀
Your hair looks great I love that you cut it because sometimes you can’t even see that it’s damaged but it really helps your hair growth! 😊
Thank you! After chemo, my hair came back gray and I just wasn't ready at 48... but now, after years of throwing color on it, I was ready to cut it all off and embrace the gray! We used a purple toner and all of the beautiful tones of silver, lavender, and rose gold came through. Look out gray, here I come! Thanks for watching 😀
