[@rhondamorton]

Anja, watching your IKEA blanket video. Look book was very entertaining and educational. It showed people multiple ways the blanket can blend into a persons home or office decor, and was an excellent idea! This video gave me the extra inspiration I needed to use this stitch pattern again, and I have been enjoying “stash busting “using the V stitch as well as corner to corner patterns and moving on now to new patterns to enjoy quality crochet time! Have a fantastic day, everyone! I’ll post pics once the unique and close the border that I select to put on my design is complete😀🇨🇦🌷

Really pretty. I have a lot of worsted weight yarn in my stash. From my research, aran is similar but a bit thicker. So I'll have to do a swatch and see how it looks and feels.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Yes, a swatch is the best idea, always, thank you. Anja x

V-stitch is so versatile. Recently I made a scarf using merino-cashmere 2-ply and before that I made a doggie blanket with 10-ply acrylic, and they both looked lovely.

Hi Ophelia. So happy to see you today. I really love the Aztec JCB yarns. The color you chose is beautiful. The stitch is simple yet perfect for the yarn you chose. It drapes so pretty and looks so comfortable. Love it. Thanks for sharing this wonderful tutorial. Hope you have a great week ahead.
