Crochet Podcast Ep 1 | What I’m Working On | Full of Grace Stitches

[@ruthm4749]

Very soft spoken, easy to listen too. I was never afforded the luxury to be able to work on my crochet while my littles were little, it is nice that you can. Now I'm retired, and I can do what I want. Lately I've been working on scrapghans and using up all my odds and ends.

[@fullofgracestitches]

Wonderful! Enjoy those crafty moments!

Daisy farm is awesome. My first subscribe on KZbin. All my great grandchildren have blankets made from her site. The designs with matching books are great shower gifts.

[@fullofgracestitches]

That is nice! Thank you!

Hi! I loved all your projects…can’t wait to see the granny square projects completed, bunnies are so adorable!!! The border on you blanket was really nice and fun. My favorite item was your juniper cowl…the color way that the yarn made is beautiful. I’ll have to check Toni’s pattern and add it to my list of projects. Your WIPS and FO’S are all really nice. Welcome as a new channel to the crochet community!!! I’m a new sub and loved how cozy and inviting your videos are. Looking forward to catching up on your other videos and watching for future ones. Stay safe and be blessed❤

[@fullofgracestitches]

Thank you for your lovely comments! It means so much to me. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! You should definitely check out the Juniper Cowl pattern. It wasn't too time consuming and I felt like I finished it up in good time. Thank you again for subscribing and watching my video.

Pleasant video. I hope it helps u in all the ways u want it to. I crochet, knit, latch hook, cross-stitch & embroider. In crochet i am working on 3 small rugs & a mile a minute lapghan, a sampler throw & a driver seat top & bottom cover for my truck.

[@fullofgracestitches]

Thanks for sharing what you're working on. They will keep you busy! I have seen some really cute cross stitch and embroidery kits out there that seem like a lot of fun. I wish I had time to try other types of crafts, maybe someday! I just looked up a mile a minute lapghan, because I wasn't familiar with it, but it looks really neat! Enjoy your projects!

[@laurelgirard8475]

Congratulations on your first video! I’ve been a die hard crocheter for 40 years. I always say 50 years, but I stopped for 10 years because I have severe arthritis. I’ve been disabled for 16 years and picking up crocheting again has done wonders for me. I’ve been making sweaters for about 3 years now, the learning top down method 2years ago. Just goes to show you you can teach an old dog new tricks!

[@fullofgracestitches]

That is amazing, Laurel! I'm so glad you've picked up crocheting again. Its such a wonderful hobby. Have a great day!

The granny squares are so beautiful 💗 Oohhh wow! The Juniper Cowl is FABULOUS!! I met Toni at Stitches West, she's awesome. You have reminded me to pull my bag out, and finish my Juniper Cowl. I'm using minis from my advent calendar.. beautiful view thru the window. Love your temp blanket. I'm making one too. Highs and Lows, Sunday only. Just 1 day a week. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, and my hands hurt a lot. I'm using The Speedy Granny Ruth, by the Secret Yarnery.

[@fullofgracestitches]

That is so neat you met Toni in person! Yes, you must finish your Juniper Cowl! Please keep me updated on your progress. It is such a lovely pattern. I also watch the Secret Yarnery! Thank you so much for your nice comments on my projects and thanks for watching my channel!

Hi just found your channel , I am also working on granny squares

[@fullofgracestitches]

[@kalenreichert]

👋 Hi! I’m so glad the algorithm suggested your podcast! I have several WIPs but my main projects are my #the100dayproject which is an @opheliatalks sampler blanket, a Harlequin Blanket (2022 Ophelia Talks Spring CAL) for my husband, a millstone stitch blanket for my sister, and several crochet tops and cardigans which I take with me in the car to work and appointments. Your granny squares and temperature blanket are beautiful! I love your colors! ❤

[@fullofgracestitches]

I love all of this!! Thank you for sharing all the wonderful things you're working on. I also follow Ophelia Talks, she is great. I also take some of my smaller projects with me on the go. What crochet top patterns are you working on? I'd love to know. I've been getting excited about the idea of crocheting a top but don't have anything specific planned. Thanks again for watching this video!

[@kalenreichert]

@@fullofgracestitches My all-time favorite crochet top pattern is Sandra Paul’s (aka Cherry Heart) Florence Tee because it’s made up of several (usually 60 for me) small squares which are joined in a way that resembles a lacy trellis and are perfect to wear over dresses or a tank top in the summer. 🌞

[@fullofgracestitches]

Oh my goodness! The Florence Tee sounds amazing. I love Sandra Paul's (@CherryHeart) patterns! I'm actually crocheting the Anemone potholders right now. I must check out her Florence Tee. Thank you for sharing!

[@bonneswartzfager4190]

This was your first episode? You seem like a seasoned pro. I enjoyed seeing everything you made. I only buy acrylic yarn because I want the ability to machine wash and dry. I realize I am missing out on some beautifully dyed yarn by limiting my fiber content. I love the colors you have chosen. Lately I've been making ponchos and shawls. Over the winter I made hats and scarves. I don't know what will catch my fancy next.

[@fullofgracestitches]

Thank you! Keep enjoying your projects! Have a great day!

Hello! Enjoyed your video very much and all of the fun projects you have going on. Am looking forward to checking them all out. That bobble stitch on your super blanket and the crab stitch on your lovely cowl! Awesome! What stitch is used in the temperature blanket, please. Looking forward to your next podcast.

[@fullofgracestitches]

Thanks so much for your lovely comments! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I used the Linen/Moss stitch for the temperature blanket. It makes a nice tight fabric. The temperature blanket can get really big so I chose a more condensed stitch. Have a great day!

[@marshagoolsbee389]

Great video! I love HL sugar wheel and didn't buy nearly enough during the clearance sale! I crochet and getting ready for Fair season. So I have piles of WIPS of quick and easy to sell.

[@fullofgracestitches]

Thank you for watching my video! Good luck with your WIPs and things for your upcoming fairs. What is your favorite item to make and sell at craft fairs? Would love to hear more!

[@marshagoolsbee389]

@@fullofgracestitches I usually have jewelry I've made but last show I did I took a bunch of hats and fingerless gloves. I sold equally between the jewelry and crochet. This summer I'm adding simple anagarumi- mostly Gnomes- and kitchen stuff - mug rugs - bowl cozies etc. I'm going to do a big sale on the jewelry because I dont plan on making new stock. We'll see what the season brings ! Luckily the booth space is cheap because its definitely a game if chance! But if I sell stuff I can buy more yarn! That's how I try to make my hobby free ❤

[@fullofgracestitches]

That all sounds like a great plan! Good luck with all those creations and I hope it brings everything you wish for!

Hi enjoyed your first podcast. I am learning to crochet garments now and am making a summer top (crochetcakes fallalery top), hope it comes out ok.

[@fullofgracestitches]

I love this! Crochet garments are in the back of my mind to do someday! I just looked up the Fallalery top from Crochetcakes and it looks so nice! You can do it! When I’m working on a big or new project, I break the pattern down in parts and think of it in smaller bits. Good for you for trying something outside your comfort zone! Keep me posted on your progress! Thank you for visiting my channel.

I enjoyed your podcast, look forward to next one. I have been crocheting for 70 plus years and still enjoy learning new things.

I loved the podcast!!! I was thinking of starting a temperature blanket AND I use a happy planner/Discbound planner! So I loved the way you organized the colors for the blank! I will be copying. I just started crocheting after knitting for a few years. I do both, but prefer crochet. Current WIPs: triangle shawl, pocket shawl/scarve, and knitting socks-toe up! I will always knit a few pair of socks every year, and might try crocheting a pair. Thanks for a great vid!!🙂

[@fullofgracestitches]

Thank you so much for watching my podcast! I love that you are making a temperature blanket and you also use a Happy Planner! I record the forecasts in my Happy Planner each day and mark off the rows that I've completed on my blanket in my HP too so I can keep track. I love hearing what you're working on. I bet they will turn out lovely! Please stay tuned for more upcoming videos!

[@debbiestuckey6599]

I enjoyed your podcast! It came up in my YT feed. I really like your temperature blanket. It looks like a Moss stitch. I'm crocheting a square Moss stitch blanket with Advent minis, going from corner to corner. Do you know how to knit too? I do both so just wondered. How did you learn to crochet?

[@fullofgracestitches]

Hi Debbie! Thank you so much for watching my video! You are correct, the temperature blanket is crocheted using the Moss Stitch. The Moss Stitch blanket you are crocheting sounds really great! I've never done corner to corner crochet blankets before but they look really lovely. Someday, I would like to get an advent. I've seen so many great patterns out that are designed around using Advent minis! Great question about knitting. I do knit also but haven't in a while. Maybe I'll break out my knitting needles in the future. I learned to crochet by watching KZbin videos, reading books and patterns. I felt comfortable when I first picked up my crochet hook b/c I already knew how to knit. What things do you like to knit? Thank you for your wonderful comments!

[@alannahawkins]

Hello, may I ask, your blanket yarn afghan, do you know how many skeins of yarn you used??? Keep crocheting yarny friend 💜💜💜

Hi there wonderful video. May I ask on your temperature blanket what was your starting chain and what stitch did you choose. It’s lovely. I’d like to start one.

No offense here but I'm not sure some people understand what a podcast is. A podcast is strictly an audio file to be heard and not seen. People listen to podcasts through music streaming sites. Another way of looking at it is an interview, story, or discussion that used to only be listenable via radio except now is accessed via satellite or Internet. What you're doing is visually recording your crocheting project to share as a video.
