Oh no, please don’t quit. I’ve only just discovered you and you are DELIGHTFUL. I am absolute beginner so I need your brand of inspiration, desperately. Being right brain, I am driven by the colors. Your choices are divine. Thank you for sharing such incredibly lovely creations!❤

[@emmacmakes]

Ah thank you so so much! I really appreciate your lovely comment and thank you so much for watching! 🥰

[@ladyd54]

Hi Emma, I just found you just a few days ago and please don’t stop doing PODCASTS, for I thoroughly enjoyed seeing what you are working on. I found you when watching another crochet channel and you were recommended. I’m most definitely going to do the mini granny square blanket and I love the moss stitch C2C blanket as well. The moss stitch gives it such a different look.

[@emmacmakes]

Thank you so much for watching 🥰🥰

[@TracyKNixon]

❤ Enma, i think you put yourself down too much, as both a creator and podcaster. You really are inspirational so please continue to create podcasts and share you beautiful projects and tutorials. Take that thought of deleting your past podcasts out of your head and think positive about the future! You have many followers so that must tell you how lovely we all think you are. I look forward to seeing progress on your projects and new cast-ons!

[@emmacmakes]

Tracy thank you so much for your very kind comment! That really means a lot to me to hear; I know I definitely need to work on my confidence but will continue to podcast 🥰💕💕

[@TracyKNixon]

@@emmacmakes 🥰 Emma! Just don't stop podcasting! You are a great podcaster and your podcasts are so inspirational! I dont mind whether you podcast irregularly or with gaps inbetween. I think all crafters have times when they are on a high and can churn out lots of creative products, but then have times when they are at a low and don't seem to want to craft as much. So we are all in the same boat, as they say, so we understand eachother x

[@emmacmakes]

@TracyKNixon Yes, that’s a really good point! Plus I find sometimes that deadlines and schedules are the worst things for when you want to be creative 🙈

[@patvalenzuela5105]

New here, I love the pale yellow. All your projects touched me. Especially the small granny square blanket, darling. I’m retired , 73. I better hurry up or someone else will have to finish my WHIPS.😊 Thank you for all your cool ideas!

[@emmacmakes]

Thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comment! 🥰

[@Kate-oi6yt]

Have not crocheted/knitted in years. Watching your video short that popped up, led me to subscribe and I ‘ve just begun going through your videos. Much appreciation for your scrap blankets. They are simply beautiful. I will be digging out my hooks and needles and bags of wooly bits. I hope you continue at your pace of course. Your channel is a breath of fresh air compared to so much nonsense on you tube. I’m excited to curl up with a cup of coffee and my wool now. Cheers from Toronto, Canada.

[@emmacmakes]

Thank you so much for watching!! 🥰🥰

[@Chaashni]

Omg, I'm going to need to go adopt a lot of sock yarn bits'n bobbins or twiddlings(?) to make this blanket!! I hope mine turns out half as beautiful as yours. ❤

[@emmacmakes]

I’m sure it will! You will have to treat yourself to lots of mini skeins 🥰

[@laurac86]

I haven’t stopped thinking about your c2c scrap yarn blanket since I saw it last week! The colors are just so beautiful together and I love how it looks in a lightweight yarn 😍

[@emmacmakes]

Thank you!! 🥰

[@Kristinonlinetoo]

Hello! I am one of those who found your podcast due to the IG posts and subsequent tutorials! I plan to watch your other videos too! So excited to find wonderful uses for my scraps that hold such memories, so I want to include the yarn in another project as well. Especially the sock tidbits I have since I give away all the socks I knit as gifts!

[@emmacmakes]

Thank you so much! That’s one of the reasons I love scrap yarn projects so much, just being able to remember all of the different projects from the past ☺️ Perhaps I should do more socks as gifts, it sounds like a very good idea 🥰

[@cottagekeeper1044]

Hi Emma, this was an absolute delight to watch! Thank you so much for podcasting! I have really enjoyed your scrappy blanket projects and tutorials! I love cascade heritage yarn. To answer your question about a daffodil yellow that I like in Heritage it is butter 5611. I will say that I like drops Marino baby yarn Color 03 light yellow, better. The yellow in the drops is to me the perfect daffodil yellow it’s bright and cheery with a softness to the color. Drops light yellow is the perfect pastel yellow. The cascade heritage yellow leans more towards cream to me but still beautiful. I hope you have a wonderful week🌸

[@emmacmakes]

Thank you so much! I really love drops baby merino so I will check out their light yellow, it sounds like it could be perfect! 🥰 Thank you for watching and have a lovely week 💕

[@tracycharalambous5223]

Emma your blanket is beautiful. You've inspired me to start one with all my sock yarn scraps & advent minis. An estimate for knowing how much yarn is needed would be to weigh the finished blanket & knowing the yarn weight could give an approximately yardage/metetage needed. I've just started mine this weekend but I'm already loving playing with colour. Don't doubt yourself. You're creating beautiful things 😁

[@emmacmakes]

Thank you so much! 🥰🥰

[@carolinedodsworth6481]

I new to your video love them..just knitting triangular shawl. I have been knitting vintage cotton yarn dishcloths

[@emmacmakes]

Thank you so much! The vintage dishcloths sound lovely 🥰

[@tinakercher8768]

Your blanket makes my heart sing. I sure hope mine turns out half as good.

[@emmacmakes]

Thank you so much! ☺️

I am a new subscriber because you popped up in my feed. I am so glad you did! I love everything, including your jumper. You have a great colour sense. Love your blanket palettes. 😊

[@emmacmakes]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watching and subscribing 🥰🥰

[@sylviamaxwell504]

New sub here...seems your members really appreciate you by reading their comments. And I think I will too..keep your chin up and a firm upper lip 💋....from across the pond.oxox❤😊 don't usually go on Instagram...looking at your C2C project, so beautiful and amazed your palette is you...looked against the top you are wearing so gorgeous 😍

[@emmacmakes]

Thank you so much, and thank you for subscribing 🥰 I think I need to channel my inner Britishness and Keep Calm and Carry On 😄

[@Lynnefromlyn]

Love the shawl! And you know, I can see what you mean about the yarn for the Attic 24 blanket not being as bright as it looks on the pattern photo, but actually, I really like it! I love bright colours but every now and then I feel like channeling my inner sophisticate! 😂Ot looks beautiful, I do hope you come to love it. x

[@emmacmakes]

Thank you! It’s definitely a lot more muted but still very beautiful - it will be a perfect autumn blanket I think (which also gives me plenty of time to finish it 😄)

[@victoriacutler3612]

Hi Emma. So happy you decided to continue podcasting. Would very much miss you if you decided to stop. 😊

[@emmacmakes]

Thank you Victoria! 🥰🥰

[@Penelope_and_the_Squish]

Oh!! It’s that shawl! 😍 how exciting! I’ll be getting my yarn order in next week (just need to pick a 2nd colour) and just let me know when you want to start! I absolutely love all the blankets that you are making, they are all so beautiful

[@emmacmakes]

Thank you! I’m excited to start ☺️ I’ll do a swatch of my yarn this week and then get mine ordered too 🙌🏻

[@racheloakton4501]

So lovely to see you back and all your lovely projects. I really like the butter colour and think it would lovely in your brioche shawl 😊.

[@emmacmakes]

Thank you so much Rachel ☺️ I’m going to be good and make a swatch with the butter colour before I commit 😬☺️

[@racheloakton4501]

@@emmacmakes I should probably do this, as I often regret colour choices.

[@emmacmakes]

Me too, so I’ve learned the hard way! 😄

What a wonderful podcast and I love all the scrappy blankets you do 😊 Laura from Penrose Knits mention you in her latest video.

[@emmacmakes]

Thank you so much for watching! 🥰

[@caroline.seasidegirlknits]

Lovely to see you back ~ I'm so pleased you decided to podcast again 😊 Your scrap yarn blankets are so pretty 💖 I love your Everyday sweater and the Netherton cardi ~ they both have a bit of a 50s vibe with the fitted style and nipped in waist. I think they will both look perfect on you! Did you make a decision about the yellow yarn? I wonder if the butter is just a little too pale to contrast enough? Heritage have a lemon colour which might work.

[@emmacmakes]

Thank you so much for watching Caroline 🥰 I still haven’t decided on the yellow yarn (can’t make a decision to save my life 😄). I want low contrast but not TOO low contrast. Will check out the lemon colour 🥰

[@OllieandMay]

Hello Emma, your thumbnail grabbed my attention on KZbin recommendations. It’s hard to find easy to watch and listen to videos with both crochet and knitting . I love to crochet blankets also, your Linen stitch blanket is lovely and that’s a stitch I’ve been wanting to try so Thank You for showing yours and for the inspiration. Looking forward to watching you again from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤

[@emmacmakes]

Thank you so much for watching! 🥰🥰

[@22tessybear]

I’ve only just found you and I’m sure others will too. I’m hoping to make some blankets for my local children’s hospital and will follow your pattern xx

[@emmacmakes]

Hope you enjoy making them ☺️

Yes! That describes it perfectly 😄

Your work is lovely. Found you by scrolling all the wonderful crocheters in here. That HAS to be a Hudds accent, am I right?
