Crochet can be a hobby, it can be a passion, it can be a job and it can be a charity. Using our skills to give back to others is such a blessing. Rohn has been a crochet designer and teacher for a while, but he has been a crafter since he was a child. His newest adventure is a partnership with Debbie Macomber and World Vision for a great new program.

I enjoyed the show! It is nice to see creative people just keeping it real! I would like to know how you go from learning to crotchet to crocheting comfortably to having the skill to make patters and knowing how you can blob the stitches together to create whats in your head. I like the idea of blessing both the person who gets what you make and yourself. I have made and given away more than four things at the moment and I am working on more projects for other people. I get the peace of mind due to being able to crotchet and I hope they get the blessings due to having a nice comforting crotchet creation. (alliteration! 😀 ) Blessings to y’all. I would like to win because I am really working hard on my crotchet skills.
Blessings! It was very entertaining listening to today’s podcast, and I love a good shawl book!
Blessings. Loved the show.
Blessings!
Blessings. Loved the show today! You two were a hoot!!

Blessings, Thank-you Marly & Rohn you both had me laughing. So many crafters fantasize of crocheting/knitting as a career. Thank-you for sharing how much time, work, etc. it takes…Best, ^..^ ^..^
So many Blessings come from working with yarn. I was knitting as listening to your “histerial” podcast today—I had to glance up once in a while though to get the full effect. I finished one row of 124 stitches!9
Blessings.
I love to see men involved in the fiber arts so everyone can see that its not just women who knit or crochet.
Counting my Blessings for finding the two of you.
Today’s episode of The Yarn Thing Podcast with Marly Bird and Rohn Strong was inspiring and full of laughter. I love how you both find ways use your talents to give joyful blessings to others. Thank you!
Blessings to all!
Thanks gave me a lot more to learn about
Blessings for everyone in our crafting community.
I really enjoyed the podcast today with Rohn. I want to win…God bless you.
I really liked today’s podcast, Rohn seems like a great guy. We need more male crocheters like Rohn, and my Dad (who taught me to crochet). Blessings to the whole yarn community 🙂

What a blessing to watch this as my introduction to your channel as a new subscriber! Loved it!! Thanks for sharing from your hearts & having a laugh to cheer my day! Blessings from South Australia.
Blessings!
Entertaining podcast today. Would love to try some of Rohn’s Patterns
Wishing you both many blessings! You are both wonderful! Marly you made me love crocheting again and i learned to knit from you just a few months ago. Keep up the great work!
A podcast full of laughter and blessings! Thanks Marly and Rohn.
What a fun show! Blessings to you both!
Marly you and Rohn were both such Blessings today! Your conversation and interaction was a hoot! I enjoyed the fun, excitement between you both and the topics covered.
I live in Australia where yarn crafts are taken up by less of the community, connecting with the informative and fun crafters on YouTube channels like the Marly Bird podcast is such joy. Blessings to Marly, the team, and all the lovely guests. Rhon was a hoot !
Blessings come from sharing with others.
I finally had the opportunity to listen to you and Rohn. What a BLESSING!
Oh darn, BLESSINGS was the word and I used BLESSING. Oh well, I’m propably too late anyway.
Marly see you at Midwest.
Every now and then I really enjoy these casual podcasts where you just chat instead of interview. You two certainly have been blessings in each other’s lives
One of the blessings in my life includes crochet and how I can use it to bless others with handmade items.
I try to count my blessings every day! Marly Bird is one of them!
Blessings to you and Ron for a great giveaway and podcast
Blessings to you both! Thanks for the podcast! It was evident you were having great fun!
“Blessings” for you and Rohn. May God bless you both for all you do for all of us. Love and good health to you and yours. Thank You!!
Crochet is one of the blessings in my live. I started July 2017 and it helps me deal with my illness, now so many things that I did before are not possible anymore. I loved watching your podcast.
Blessings! This podcast and getting back to crafting has been a blessing for me, and also helps me with my illness.
I want to win. I also want to design. I have been inspired by the both of you and your energy and joy!
Blessings! Being able to gift a handmade item is a blessing for the receiver and the giver. Thank you for all the wonderful podcasts Miss Marly!
Blessings!
You two are definitely blessings to many people! I laughed so much during this episode! 🙂
It was a blessing for Rohn to be on your show. I started to follow him on instagram.
Blessings
Blessings! I totally missed today’s Podcast! Too busy at work! Watching it now.
I can’t believe my overgrown blessings were quite long enough for me to listen to it all. And I can’t add to yours or Rohn’s numbers because I already was following you both but hope you both reach your goals soon.
Everyone needs blessings
Loved the show! I don’t get to listen live, but I’m so happy I can tune in later on and meet your guests. I’d love a copy of the shawl book! Thank you for a chance to win. Blessings to you both and have a great day!
