Thank you :)

Sandra Palmer you asked if I have a YouTube channel. Thanks for asking.  I am still trying to come up with ideas for content and I've filmed a few tutorials.  I just started the channel last November so it's still very new.  I do, I don't know what happened to my reply to you in YouTube.  My YouTube channel is: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQmgP36CBqXEASBxLUTcsBQ

I was about to ask the same thing. Does the blanket have to be in red, white and blue, or just one of those colors is ok?  thanks

yea I am not sure what to make with this yarn either. I have some too... I was thinking maybe hold 2 or 4 strands together and make a shawl.

Sandra Palmer yes I'm still learning this lesson and I keep reminding myself. I just made a video for YouTube that was an hour long after working the whole day and now I'm exhausted.

This is a great bundle!! I was going through all the books last night. I will be making a video to review some of the books from this bundle and posting it on my YouTube channel. :)

Sandra Palmer yes that is plenty to do. I'm glad you are having a better day today, so am I.  Our best and how much we can accomplish will vary day by day so I've had to reframe my thinking to, just do the best you can for today with how your body is doing.  Your best and what you can do today may not be the same as tomorrow or yesterday but that is okay.  (showing ourselves grace and compassion) :)

Sandra Palmer thanks for the compliment. I still have alot to learn and I also have to keep the pattern I'm working on close by because of my memory... I forget alot but I'm really stubborn so I keep trying things when I don't get them... sometimes I have to put the item in time out and take a break and go see if I can find a tutorial or example of how to make the stitch or technique. I'm usually thinking alot of the time that my work isn't good enough or I find all the errors.  I'm glad that you have learned so much in the last year. :) I think it's nice to see everyone's creativity and how talented they all are.  I learned to crochet really young I can't remember if I was either 6,7 or 8 years old not sure if it was younger.  I stopped for a few years after college and picked it back up more than 7 years ago. I made my first sweaters, ponchos in 2020.

Sandra Palmer Dear we all do what we can and some days are more challenging than others.  I am sure having mini seizures is really intense and takes a big toll on your body.  I don't get as much done as I would like because I get really tired and fatigued so I sometimes fall asleep during crocheting or I'm too tired or in too much pain to crochet and can't really do much else.  Right now the plaquenil medication is helping alot because I can crochet with ergonomic hooks but my hand pain still flares up and then I have to rest and I can't crochet on those days.  Before the medication in 2020 I could barely crochet because of the pain in my hands, it was so bad it would keep me up at night and I couldn't sleep.... because I'm stubborn I taught myself tunisian crochet which uses different muscle groups and I taught myself loom knitting.  Then my hand pain got worse and I bought and learned how to use the circular knitting machine.  I still can't use skinny hooks or very thin yarn.

8 days left for this special bundle. :) I found a url where you can drop the e-book files after you buy the bundle and they are sent to your kindle app / device.  You can also buy this as a gift for someone too, just select that option during checkout.
