Mikey from The Crochet Crowd made this a special episode of the Yarn Thing podcast. 
The Crochet Crowd started in 2008 under just a quick hobby YouTube Channel, for a fun hobby that quickly developed into a go-to resource for Crocheters. Mikey continued to see how far it would go. In October 2010, Diva Dan and Mikey decided to rename the company as The Crochet Crowd®. It was then we realized we were not just a crochet page, we were a true community. Our mission is to dish out inspiration all day, everyday and we do it all on The Crochet Crowd Facebook, Website and YouTube channel. 
The Crochet Crowd can be followed through their website: TheCrochetCrowd.com, also found Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and make sure you subscribe to their YouTube channel.
If you missed getting to hear this visit LIVE on the Yarn Thing podcast, you can listen to the episode, it’s still where it aired originally as an archived episode: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/yarnthing/2016/11/17/mikey-from-the-crochet-crowd or with your favorite podcast catcher like iTunes or Stitcher Radio.

I watched the shoe through Micheal. He and you sound great Marly. Have a great day
Show. Sorry typo
New to your show loved it!
Was wonderful gathering a bunch of happy hookers together!
Great Show! Definitely a lot of “Happy Hookers” watching & listening to the show. I always like to watch both of your shows & videos to see what yall are making. & maybe learn something new rather it be a new technique or another skill like knitting.
This is the first time I have heard of your pod cast but since I am a HAPPY HOOKER it won’t be the last time I listen. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into all the things you do for the industry. It is truly appreciated!!
Another Happy Hooker here! Loved the show today and have now liked your page so I can follow along with your skills also. 🙂 Thanks for doing the show with Mikey. He taught me through his tutorials how to crochet in January of this year. I’ve been “hooked” ever since.
I’m an Older Than Dirt Happy Hooker! Loved the Show, Thank You! <3
I really enjoyed listening to this via your fb live broadcast. So glad I’m not the only happy hooker in the world! Hope the giveaway competition extends to people in the UK?? Lx
I really enjoyed the chat today as I’m sure all the other Happy Hookers did too.
Can we make this a regular thing? I was one happy hooker listening to 2 of my favorotes!!!
One Happy Hooker here today! Day off, working on Christmas presents, and listening to Marly and Mikey talk! It’s like sitting down and getting together with friends!
I’m a Happy Hooker & absolutely love watching your videos!
This was my first for Madly Bird. I really enjoyed it and I recently started following the Crochet Crowd. I lost my daughter is past Feb and found it very difficult to pick up my yarn and do something with it but watching Mickey gave me the courage to start doing my knitting and crocheting again. So I guess I am both a needle pusher and a happy hooker again. Will watch you both again for sure.
I have been a happy hooker for about 42 years….just finally got back into it seriously about a year ago….I learned entrelac from Mikey and made a 8ft x8ft blanket for my 6/3 brother. Then I found Marly and learned to finally knit! I am obsessed with hooking…..you both give me inspiration!!!! Keep those videos coming, because I spend my off hours on youtube watching them…..:P
I’m a happy hooker!
Hope this is just the first of many for me of the conversation between Marly and the Happy Hooker! 🙂
Loved the show today! Happy Hooker over here!
I was definitely one happy hooker! My hubby, Frank, and I went on the Alaska cruise with Mikey and Diva Dan and had the best time ever! What is so funny is that I had asked Mikey if he had ever been on a podcast because I was an avid podcast listener. He said no, not yet. Guess who was my first podcast? MARLY!!! This has been a great show. Thanks so much Marly!!! I love the podcast! 🙂
I so enjoyed today Pod Cast. It was my first time listening and it was a hoot. You two happy hookers just make my day happy. Thank you for all that you do, it is greatly appreciated. Happy hooking and Happy Thanksgiving.
Thank you both! For helping me be one HAPPY HOOKER! Lots of love to you
Happy hookers that was an awesome interview you two should do more podcasts together
Wonderful show. Worked on my son’s blanket while I listened. I’m a happy hooker here in Rock Hill,SC. I’m very happy to know you 2 are friends. When my sister introduced me to Marly, I had already been following Mickey for several months. I felt like I was cheating on him to watch another teacher! Just kidding. You are both fabulous.
I loved the show today. Lots of happy hookers today! Thank you for all you both do!
Kimberly

So many Happy Hookers all listening to two of our leaders. So nice to hear both of you taking different perspective on topics we all love.
Happy Hooker here and Happy hookers everywhere hehehe Love you all and keep it real.
Oh how this podcast makes me smile … and giggle …
When you skip a tuesday or thursday Marly … I can´t concentrate ….
I need my Marly-fix twice a week. 😀
Diva Dan and Mikey are some of my favorite male-hookers
Always new things to learn – always new things to test.
And always with a smile and “glimse” in the eyes.
You make me curious and want to explore even more with all the different things yarn can do.
I am a knit and crochet teacher here in Denmark.
I´m a designer as well….. so my live is full of yarn-things
And I fell very blessed to be a happy hooker
Have a fantastic week
Best wishes
Edith
Happy Hooker! Love you both a bunch, thanks for all you teach us!
Loved the show…you and Marley are dangerous together! I am also a Happy Hooker and have followed you (and Diva Dan) forever. Hope we get to see that shawl win it’s done, got some cakes in need of a project, you got me addicted to cakes…I love that yarn!
I am a long time happy hooker. I love any second I can have a hook or needles in my hands. Love your show Marly and love your videos Mikey. Happy hooking…
I loved the show it was so fun and interesting. I have been a happy hooker the last couple of weeks because it helps with stress.
Hi Marly, it was nice to listen in to both you and Mikey on this week’s podcast. I was lucky enough to meet Mikey here in Toronto at the Creativ Festival. He really is the same in person as he is on Youtube. That is to say that he is AMAZING! I wish Mikey continued success and much happiness.
Here’s to “Happy Hookers”!
Rose
What a fun time. Glad to listen to both of you and to be a Happy Hooker
Loved this podcast. It was a pleasure to listen to 2 open, honest and funny friends talk about their lives and their industry. I am mostly a knitter but plan on watching Mikey and becoming a happy hooker !
Happy hooker here. Enjoyed your stories.
What an awesome podcast yesterday. Happy Hooker from Tampa, Florida
You are both so inspirational! Although I’ve been a Happy Hooker for more than 30 years, you two inspire me to do more and more! Thank you!
Lots of fun on the podcast today. I was a knotty knitter before I became a happy hooker but I love them both.
Loved today’s show! Was my first time listening to both of you on a live event, laughed my butt off! Love your enthusiasm Marley, and it was great watching you crochet so fast Mikey! Oh and most importantly..I am a HAPPY HOOKER 🙂
I’m a happy hooker in training! Great podcast as usual!
I watched some of Marly’s tutorials to learn how to crochet and become a happy hooker.
I enjoyed listening to Marly and Mikey. I’d love to go on one of Mikey’s crochet cruises. That would make me a really happy hooker.
Great interview today! I need to check out the Crochet Crowd! I wanna be a happy Hooker!
Listening to this podcast made me a happy hooker
Thank you for entertaining me on a boring drive through the middle of nowhere for a business trip. Since I was driving I couldn’t be the happy hooker hooking away on a project, so i did the next best thing, caught up on your great podcast =)
I’m always happy when I’m hooking, LOL! Fun and informative podcast. Just call me a happy hooker. Thank you all.
I’m a happy hooker, love the craft.
Really enjoyed listening to two happy hooker friends chatting
I’m a happy hooker, love the podcast!
I would definitely be a Happy Hooker to hook at Disney! I have taken yarn to the parks and on Disney Cruises before. Thanks for another great show!!
I’m more of a knitter but after listening, I’m going to try to be more of a Happy Hooker!
Any time I have my hooks and yarn out I am one Happy Hooker. When I first started crocheting I went to the internet and found Mikey, He taught me how to love my balls and making my stitches loosey goosey.
Happy hooker! Great show!
Happy hooker! Great show! I really enjoyed listening to you two chat.

I’m a longtime happy hooker and a newer knitter, and even newer podcast listener, love listening while I work 🙂
Love hearing how Happy Hookers can help each other.
Sometimes it’s strange to think about myself and others as a “Happy Hooker”, but that is what we are when we love to crotchet.
I really enjoyed hearing the interview with Marly and Mikey. You guys are such a hoot! I am one happy hooker when I crochet. Thanks for another great podcast!
I’m a happy hooker novice. I need to put some more effort into my crochet skills. Thanks for a great interview!
Who doesn’t love being a Happy Hooker??
Proud to say …I am a HAPPY HOOKER!! lol
A great show! Love listening and always get a kick out of Mikey from the Crochet Crowd! Thanks for making me a Happy Hooker and feeding the creative beast!
I’ve been a happy hooker since I was 13! :o)
I was a happy hooker many years ago, but knitting stole me away. Mikey has inspired me to revisit those skills! Thanks for such a happy podcast!
I am a happy hooker wannabe. We are so fortunate to have good people like you two to teach us these techniques. Thanks for sharing your talent!
I am a happy hooker of three years now and also love watching Mikey’s YouTube videos. They’ve definitely helped me work through some problems! Just discovered your podcasts and am enjoying playing catch-up!
Learning about Mikey’s website and videos, has made me a Happy Hooker. I never knew about it before. thanks
It was so great listening to Mikey and Marly today! You both have made me one very happy hooker!!!
