i really enjoyed watching the whole process . has given me a idea on my next project. as always want to make granny squares. and are always only 4-6 rows so inspired to make bigger ones with multi colors to hopefully make a blanket as beautiful as the one you have i know it will take me longer.

[@InmysparetimeCrochet]

Hi, I'm a new subscriber from the U.K. I'm mainly a knitter who was taught by my dear Nana when I was a young girl. She was a beautiful crocheter, but at the time, I wasn't interested in learning. During the pandemic, I finally learnt to crochet. Thank goodness for KZbin!😊 I love your beautiful blanket. Well done. ❤

[@InmysparetimeCrochet]

@@valeriemoorcroft6838 hi Valerie. Thank you so much 😊 my knitting skills are quite basic but my a grandma taught me everything crafts as well ❤️ I picked it up a few years after she passed away with the good old help of KZbin.. it’s fantastic isn’t it! 🥰

[@Anniecrochets365]

Very nice blanket! It looks great with the natural color. The way you joined the squares has got me wanting to try it! Never saw that way before. 💗 I watched while peeling apples & making pie crusts. 🍎 Apple season here!

I often get obsessed when knitting hats in fair isle style or projects that have a pattern. On occasion, I get a varigated yarn that catches my attention and I can't wait to see how it works up. Your blanket is amazing!

Thanks so much Ranee 🙂 I really admire those that do fair isle knitting! x

thank you, I really appreciate that! 🙂🙂

[@zinniazen9923]

Amazing blanket! Beautiful work. I tried granny squares but with dk weight yarn. I never finished it. I may try again another time with thicker yarn.❤. The tail ends. Even though I leave them long enough to weave in they seem to come undone.😮😅. I also hyper focus too. I love it but hate it when I get dragged away from it like appointments or outings. Lol

[@InmysparetimeCrochet]

@@zinniazen9923 haha I hear you… how dare life get in the way of our crochet 😂 😂 I used to make the majority of my squares and blankets in DK but prefer to use Aran or chunky these days. ❤️ I don’t have issues with me ends coming undone but I’m probably over cautious so weave them in about 3 times going in opposite directions each time (if that makes sense). I hope to do some videos on that very soon 😊

Hello can I ask what yarn you used , thank you ❤

[@InmysparetimeCrochet]

@@shannjess5223 hi Shannon, I used all Aran (weight 4) acrylic yarn from my stash. Sorry, I don’t have exact colours but they were a mixture of Stylecraft Special Aran and Paintbox Aran. I used Spotsaver USA style in natural from Spotlight (in Australia) for the border 😊🌸❤️
