I did it! My square is complete! I used cotton yarn so I can use it as a dishcloth. Unfortunately no new grandbabies coming along. We lost one a year ago this month but we are blessed! We have nine. Our youngest grandchild is recovering from his third open heart surgery. He is 2 years old and this should be his last surgery! He’s a real trooper along with his parents. And his doctors are amazing! Huge shout out to Boston Children’s Hospital; the best in the world!💕

Well, we are all stronger and grateful for our blessings! I tried to be truthful in saying why I wouldn’t be doing a c2c blanket anytime soon. But I’ve always wanted to learn how. I’m not sure there will be a new baby any time soon. I guess I planned on making it as a blanket for our grandson who went to heaven. I think they are perfect or they look perfect for newborns. I find I am using thick chenille yarn for my younger grandchildren’s blankets because they work up so fast and are soft and squishy! Heck, my older ones love them too! Thanks for your kind words! Our grandson may come home tomorrow! I will try and post my pictures of my c2c washcloth. It was a lot of fun and came out pretty good for a first try! Thanks for your great instruction! I can’t wait to see what’s next!

Thank you so much you are the only one that made me succeed my square! Some only decrease one side and chain 6 etc etc...your method is easier and makes perfect squares and it's quicker. I was going to start knitting them but that takes longer and I prefer the corner to corner pattern which plain knitting does not do plus it gets boring and the finished knitted one stretches more. Thanks again I was getting discouraged.

@SecretYarnery6 жыл бұрын
Good ideas, Beveryly! I have written them down, and hope to be able to film them this week. As for judging the size, you have to stop when one side (from where you started to where you are working), is the width of a twin size bed. ;) xx!

I have a request! :) Will you please do one on changing colors on a decrease? All of the tutorials I have found demonstrate only one color change at the end of a row Before decreasing, and then only finish up on one single remaining color. However, on my current blanket I am working on, I am using three different colors and I am so stumped as to where, and how to end/begin a new color while on decrease. As well, they will have a tri-color in their thumbnail, yet in their tutorial will be using self-striping yarn. So frustrating. I hope this all makes sense! Thank you. :)
@SecretYarnery6 жыл бұрын
Oh what a bummer! Yes of course! I would change color after the slip stitches. So my first chain of the chain 3 would be in the new color. Hope that helps? If you are on FB, post a pic. We can comment better to help you (these comments will get lost - they don't show up as new on my PC). BIG hugs! xx
@ellafaith87606 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much for your reply! Yes, that does help actually. So, I am to do the color change directly after the slip stitches on the new row ... got it! :) Unfortunately, I don't have a FB.

I started my first C2C a month ago. I am halfway through it right now. I started it by watching Mikey. I can't remember his youtube handle. Like I said I am halfway through it which means I am now at the point of the decreasing. To learn how to do the decreasing I didn't finish the video I started watching on lol. I watched this video instead to learn how to decrease. Probably because I would have to re watch and fastforward Mikey's video to get to the decreasing portion because the whole square is on his video for the swatch.
