I've done a number of dc C2C baby blankets. I had never considered a hdc C2C. It seemed to be the perfect stitch for a laghan I wanted to make. I am beginning to decrease one side of that lapghan and am most happy with the fabric it is creating. The 3d stitch pattern is wonderful. The resulting fabric is soft and cushy. I don’t know if I will do another C2C in dc again. Thanks for sharing this version of C2C.

M..Julie?..do you realize you have created the PERFECT TUTORIAL? U have wished dor years that people would draw a quickie little pattern chart and keep it on display during the tute…for those of us that don’t need the details of a DC, it’s WONDERFUL, not only that, your instruction is great as you explain the logic behind thepattern…and weirdly, I LOVE FPDC,…but I HATE BPDC…this beautiful pattern has just the one….wow!…this video is a home run…awesome?..?love love the diagram….this could wind up being the trademark of your channel!…♥️♥️♥️

@@JuliesWorldCrochetThe pictures of the finished blanket is showing but no pattern is shown on how to make it. I saved the page to my favorites and put in the notes to go to your KZbin channel for how to make it. I like the way you just do two chains when you start decreasing instead of slip stitching up the side of the block to start the row. I love the colors of that yarn. Thanks for sharing.

Another great video ❤. The Alpine stitch combined with the basket Weave stitch is brilliant as well as beautiful. The Corner to Corner blanket is lovely and handsome, a blanket certainly befitting a gentleman 😊. I love your idea 💡 of doubling up the yarns for one blanket, which provides extra squishy softness. Also, it must be said that your Waffle stitch blanket is simply gorgeous. I ❤️ love your beautiful blankets and i am sure they will make the receiver's heart smile with great joy. Keep up the great work 👍

I do not have aphantasia, but neurological things fascinate me too. I've never heard about people in dreams being only people you've seen before, but I do dream a lot with people I know and celebrities sometimes, so I guess they fill out the "cast" so to speak. My mind's eye is usually 3D and color, depending on what I'm thinking about, and can include my other senses as well, such as smell or taste or touch. I've done arts and crafts my entire life, starting with latch hook (taught by my grandma). I did a ton of counted cross stitch as a teen/young adult, and then spent another decade or two on scrapbooking/card making. I picked up loom knitting several years ago, but it was hard on my hands/wrists and I wanted to make garments more easily, so I learned crochet via the Woobles with my husband in Feb 2023 and haven't looked back since! I crochet nearly every day. My next favorite artistic expression is painting (I painted my logo).
@JuliesWorldCrochet7 ай бұрын
That's so interesting to me, I can't imagine what the experience is like to 'see' in your head, thanks for telling me. you know I didn't even consider the color/no color thing but now I know why - it's neither. I KNOW what the dream is and what color things are, but not because I see them in my head. We have a bunch in common - I did cross-stitch when I was young, too, and spent a number of years with scrapbookng. I've never really tried knitting though. Your logo looks great, I love the sky. I love painting but I struggle so hard to do it, especially perspective, and I'd never be able to create what I want for my own logo.

Perhaps another subject 🤔 you could chat about might be songs 🎵. I have so many favourite songs . Great work on your wonderful channel ❤ It's most enjoyable spending time with you. 😊

Thank you 💜This is the nicest comment. And I'm so glad because I've never seen Fiddler on the Roof and other than knowing it's successful, I've never known anyone who's seen it (I don't think). But I really love trying new things and the whole point was if it's a movie that strikes you, reaches you, stays with you - then you're recommending a worthwhile experience so of course I'll try it, a little bit of life enrichment. I hope you do try the blanket, it was so much easier/faster than I expected. As soon as the rest of my yarn comes in I can finish the border and I'll have a tutorial out asap for this design. Thanks much for watching!

@StirringUpString8 ай бұрын
You're a fantastic teacher! You explain things super well, it's very easy to understand! I did notice one thing however, you crocheted into the back loop instead of both of the loops. This isn't a problem if you're wanting the look that it gives (that line at the bottom of every other row), however it could make things look a little funky depending on the pattern you're doing. (mainly plushies) It's a really common mistake, so I thought I'd let you know! I do love doing BLO (back loop only) with sc stitches to make ribbings for shirts. It makes a really nice stretchy, almost knit-like fabric.
@JuliesWorldCrochet8 ай бұрын
Thank you! I really wanted to put all the bits that helped me learn into one video, even if it's a little longer than typical videos. And I can see how it might look like I did BLO but I promise I didn't, I think it looks like it because I kind of squeeze the yarn when I'm working - I'll have to mention it for the next one so no one's confused, glad you pointed it out. Thanks for joining me!

I love all the patterns you've made, but especially that second to last project, the blanket. The color scheme on that was gorgeous! I personally use variegated yarn as accents to projects. For instance, I will use a multicolored pink plush yarn with a white cow to make a cupcake themed cow, or a multicolored blue/pink/purple yarn with all the same solid colors when making a mermaid tail blanket to look like scales, etc. (I've done that last one and it comes out GORGEOUS) I also personally sell my crochet and have my own business doing it right now, but I plan on making a ton of blankets to use up yarn I collected years ago and then donating tubs of them to churches in my area. Those places are always FREEZING. You could also crochet things like cancer hats or newborn hats or newborn burial hats/gowns for hospitals. That's another goal of mine!
@JuliesWorldCrochet8 ай бұрын
That's lovely, there's a number of good places to donate (upcoming I'm doing a child's blanket for Project Linus). On the variegated yarn - I totally agree, I've liked it best as an accent in my pieces. I think it's a me thing, I don't have that extra-creative design eye to make variegated yarn work like I imagine in my head. Maybe as I keep improving I'll get better at that too.
