FULL TUTORIAL Crochet Scraptastic Granny tutorial Part 1 of 2

[@stacyfletcher7767]

Some people Are so ungrateful and have alot of nerve to criticize your nail color.. they should be thankful you take the time to teach & assist so well. Rock that polish!! Love them

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you Stacy !

[@teresamartin6975]

It's good to know that even those who have been crocheting for a long time have problems with that first row. I've torn out that first row so many times on so many projects. I'm so thankful though that there are tutorials on youtube. Definitely didn't have these when I first learned from my grandmother.

[@csrichardson7973]

Love the nail polish. It's very subtle and not at all distracting. Love your humor in the tutorials, too. Very real and down-to-earth. Thank you!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you for watching, happy crochet !

[@StitchesnScraps]

Clare I hardly ever comment, but I just love your videos. Your voice is so friendly and soothing to listen to, the pacing is great, and the way you explain things makes them so easy to understand

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and thank you for watching my videos

[@bushbosh]

bobwilson123 I agree you are a wonderful instructor

[@Moonpiedeb]

I love your videos. Your nail polish has never been an issue. You have beautiful hands and nails. No one should dictate what you choose to wear.

[@aslihazer]

Wow thank you! I'm so glad I stumbled upon your video and caught your tip. I waste so much time counting and recounting and over and over. What a lifesaver.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Asli, not sure what the tip was, but glad you like it, thank you for watcing

[@lizallcote7808]

I think your nail varnish looks gorgeous, it's really light and sparkly, and anything that sparkles is good in my book x

[@cathymarshall9007]

Wow, Ive never tried this before-the way you end a row with threading new yarn thru with a needle. I have heard of it,but now I see how you did it. (and Ive been crocheting for 30 yrs!Thank you very much.

[@Kimmcdougalcrafter]

I actually love nail polish and it never interferes in my opinion. Keep up the great work!

[@mckaylagarza2305]

Hi Clare wanted to mention your nail polish looks awesome and is not distracting. Thanks again for your great videos.

[@lizjaramillo4313]

Nail polish is made in many different colors for a reason. Everyone's dislikes and likes are to each his own. You should wear whatever color you like. Be you and don't listen to all the negativity.

[@CrochetwithClare]

thank you very much

[@mecfstraveler]

YAY! I believe I finally understand HOW to a Russian Join properly AND how to get the new color to begin right where I need it to! All thanks to your easily understood, detailed instructions!! Thank you so much, Claire!! 😄

[@lindapowel3163]

I like glittery nail polish. I like your nails today. I finally have enough scraps to begin this blanket. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@alicebair1811]

Love your polish!! It’s your choice to wear polish! It has nothing to do with crocheting!! Enjoy it girl!! I love your videos!! You’ve helped me so much!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Alice Bair thank you so much for watching my video, happy crochet!

[@teaandcrochet]

Nail polish wasn't distracting at all! I did notice it was there but just thought it was pretty and then I was too busy listening to your instructions for it to matter :) Great tutorial

[@victoriagreyh1463]

I say nail polish adds glammour and is very pretty! You should wear what ever you like; I wouldn't let someone tell me no on that; it's part of being a women! You go girl!

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Victoria Greyh thank you for your comment, thank you for watching!

[@victoriagreyh1463]

@@CrochetwithClare Hello, You are welcome; I have actually been watching for a few years; and I have been involved in the art of crochet for about 20 or so years... I love you videos and you just do a marvelous job... nail polish included!

[@GeeBee111]

I love using the Russian join for a project that has lots of color changes... I always kind of estimated where to make the join, but you have solved this problem by using the needle at the exact place of the join... Thanks so much, Claire and I love that polish on your pretty hands... no distraction at all!

[@CrochetwithClare]

thank you so much. yes the join is great.

[@kerreetwombly3785]

Love it!! Nice job. The nail polish is beautiful and NOT distracting at all!!

[@barbaraward9601]

Don’t worry about your nails. This isn’t a video about how to paint your nails or the polish color you like! It’s a crochet video and you are doing just fine. Can’t believe what some people complain about. LOL

[@NoGrinchHere]

Love the nail polish! Its not distracting at all. Thanks for the great tutorial.

[@mariakristinahawl1640]

I didn't notice your nails until you mentioned the polish... I was too busy drooling over the colors of your hand dyed wools, as I am here for yarny inspiration!

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Maria Kristina Hawl thank you so much for your wonderful feedback

[@jerrine7677]

I learn so much from you and keep wearing your nail polishes! Thank you so much!

[@CrochetwithClare]

You are so welcome!

[@ms.joannab5705]

As always, another great video. I've been watching your videos since 2012 or 2013, I have basically learned to crochet because of your tutorials so thank you and god bless.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello !! Thank you so much your great feedback !Have a fantastic weekend

[@christieallen2272]

Just found this video, I love that nail polish. You can wear whatever you want. It shouldn't matter what other people tell you.

[@willowciarrochi4981]

Your polish looks awesome and so does your scraptastic granny blanket. Merry Christmas...

[@mecfstraveler]

Your Scraps are the perfect colors! I ARE they scraps or chosen yarns..oh, wait, you're showing supplies as I type this! lol!

[@rebornnowami2013]

Love the polish! You have really beautiful hands.

[@sandygrogg1203]

Swhat a great tip... undoing the end chain... I never would have thought of doing that...

[@mariarodriquez5622]

What I like about you is you laugh at your mistakes and yourself. I laugh with you. Good therapy I'd say.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you Maria! I always laugh at myself, I used to be so worried what others would think. Now I couldn't care less haha. So Glad you get some therapy as well as a crochet lesson :)

[@trishbresolin8212]

Best granny blanket tutorial ever.

[@bellavoyager55]

Didn't get to starting Christmas Eve since I was finishing up a Christmas vest for myself (finished 45 minutes before midnight) but am starting today. I am using all the worsted weights I had left over from all of my differe presents I made this year and am going to make a blanket. Kinda a reminder of what I did this year.

[@crazybooklady2104]

I've done the Russian join to make a ball of scrap yarn so I don't have to keep changing colors.

[@keilafallon9809]

Your polish is lovely, not distracting at all.

[@CrochetwithClare]

thank you so much Keila.

[@lynngal8819]

I really enjoy your tutorials and the nail polish does not distract. Thanks and have a great vacation with your family. God Bless.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you for you wonderful feedback. Thank you for watching, happy crochet :)

[@cindyharmon9059]

I love your nail polish! Simple and sweet!

[@strawberryrhubarbpie]

that pulling out the chains so you dont have to count them: brilliant!

[@Mrsjaydee777]

Jennifer V My mom does that when crocheting shells.

[@rsoubiea]

love your nail polish its very soft and neutral, not distracting in the least.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you for your feedback Rhonna

[@manjulaparameshwar6427]

Lovely tip....for us beginners who always struggle.

[@melodied4314]

The Russian Join of a new yarn was the best part of this video!!!! Wow.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you :)

[@skbounds5837]

Wear whatever nail polish you like. If someone is worried about the polish, they are really not interested in the tutorial anyway.

[@mistycline9211]

SKBounds well said

[@BlondieSaidWhat]

I have never seen that technique with threading the yarn into itself, that is too cool. I wished I has seen this video in 2016. Love your work

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day tammy thank you so much for your wonderful feedback

[@jenniferhiatt7615]

[@mariamasini7211]

Your nail polish is gorgeous

[@lauriwood8757]

I can not wait either I love the new way to change colors of yarn... the nail polish looks great ... see you Dec 24

[@darkb4light06]

I love that afgahn in the opening!! So cheerful!

[@paulette8610]

Your polish looks really nice continue to wear it.

[@suziwainwright848]

Love your counting trick. Screw up my count all the time , so it will definitely help me . Thx for this great tutorial.Your nail polish is lovely ,BTW.

[@CrochetwithClare]

thank you so much. good luck with your counting. takes some practice to just make it second nature

[@wendyvandenbergh1134]

Thanks heaps Clare! I’m a beginner and I love how you do your tutorials

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you Wendy and you are very welcome!

[@tracysterio6611]

I love the colour it’s clear with a bit of glitter in it ...it’s very pretty I like it .. I also like the colours that you are working with the pink and the green I’m going to be making a poncho in different colours each row and different stitches each row getting ready for the winter after Christmas with a nice big snuggly color in cream 10 ply yarn I’m using ...Aran ..Yarn ..I’m in Australia Melbourne..Victoria.. I so love your videos you’re a lovely person and you teach very well and a very good pace keep all your great work up thank you Bob Wilson ...

[@CrochetwithClare]

Hello Tracy, thank you so much for your wonderful comment and I love the sound of your poncho. Its a bit hard to think of cooler weather with our summer so far. You will need something snuggly down in Victoria

[@melodylee6687]

Claire this is an amazing tutorial & due to the volume of projects I've got going on at the mo I'm actually able to resist & start on Xmas Eve!! Can't wait 😊😊 In regards to your nail varnish, well I am suitably stunned that some folk feel they have the right to tell you not to wear it in your tutorials!! I can assure you as I'm a nail tech of some 20 years that the Nail varnish you have worn, either now or in the past is 100% NOT distracting (I can show them distracting nails 😂😂 )& surely folk should be listening to the instructions, watching the project & hook rather than judging YOUR CHOICE of nailwear!! Hahaha! If they don't like it, don't watch it! Simple! Also Claire can I just say thank you so, so much for your awesome tutorials through the year & I cannot wait to see what you have planned for 2017!! Merry Xmas & a Happy New Year from Dundee in Scotland 💙💙💙💅💅💅💅🎄🎄🎄

[@laurieengels2914]

Polish is not distracting at all. I like this pattern, and going to make it for our bed. OMG it's a California King. May take a while!!! Happy Holidays, and thank you for another great video.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you and I agree, :) WOW it will look epic when its done !

[@annasullivan4946]

Love...love this pattern and appreciate greatly the tutorial and written pattern for referral. Don't know what comment was made about your nails....but for what it is worth I am a nail tech by profession and love your nails in this video! :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

thank you so much for your kind words and for watching my videos

[@ZZmsz]

Thank You Claire for your talent, and generosity !

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day Z Zmsz thank you so much for your wonderful feedback !

[@ednajohnson9783]

I think that is a brilliant way to join the next row never I always weaved it in or tied it 👍🏾👍🏾

[@bushbosh]

As a new student here I think I should start with this. Thanks for the well done video

[@CrochetwithClare]

Go for it!

[@shutupandcrochet]

wear any nail polish you want girl! I am here for the tutorial, not to judge your nails.

[@sheilastone9521]

your tutorials are so good ... you wear what colour you like...it doesn't distract

[@CrochetwithClare]

thank you so much

[@lauramay9717]

Amazing hint at 7:25 time stamp thank you! How not to have to count your chain.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Glad it was helpful! I love doing it that way

[@SomewhereInIndiana1816]

great idea, and it looks beautiful! I'm saving my scraps and eager to make a scrap blanket! 👍

[@CrochetwithClare]

Oh you will love it.

[@TheInaa9]

people should not be bothered with your nail polish color, you are doing a great job on the tutorial. and you got nice nails.

[@Mary-zj9jz]

agree I wear that color my self

[@CrochetwithClare]

thank you! unfortunately not everyone feels the same

[@jenns3512]

I think you are just wonderful! You make following along so easy, especially for the beginner! I enjoy watching your tutorials :)

[@poodlegirl55]

I do the Russian join on my scraps whenever I have a basket full and use my yarn winder to make them into cakes. When I have about 4 or 5 cakes I make a blanket. They look so cute in my craft room sometime I hate to use them.

[@CrochetwithClare]

G'day poodlegirl55 thank you for your comment, what a great idea !

[@alicebair1811]

I love this pattern and I LOVE your nail polish!! Your nails are lovely!!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you :)

[@LadyDonnaCrochet]

Hi Clare. Thanks for the tutorial. I'm using this pattern for my temperature afghan, and I'm doing a row reflecting the daytime temp and nighttime temp. Of course I'm in catch-up mode. I didn't have a minute to sit and stitch over the holidays, as I had a houseful. I'll post a pic when I am caught up to today's date.

[@CrochetwithClare]

How exciting ! I bet this is going to look beautiful and I can not wait to see it

[@jessicag1714]

Starting this project with Red Heart Super Saver yarn. Can't wait to see how this turns out!

[@barbarawhittall2311]

I saw that neet way to join a different color but always looked so daunting but you made it look simple may give it a whirl thank you!

[@lahirko1961]

Wear any nail polish you like! If you feel pretty, than you are!! I'm, just finishing up my scraptastic granny afghan, I had so much fun (and a lot more scrapes than I thought) that it's turned out to be a lap afghan. I think I'm going to do the edging all in white.

[@handanmoroney8395]

Thank you for this,may I add that you have beautiful,elegant hands always nicely manicured. I am a big fan, with kindest regards.

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you so much :)

[@sandrapolichino8806]

I just subscribed and your vids are great. It's funny that you mention your nail polish because I have watched so many and people are wearing every color in the world. I even watched a toe up sock tutorial and by the time it was finished, the nail polish had been changed at least five times !!!

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you so much Sandra for your subscription :) WOW at least 5 time, they must of made their video or a long period of time :)

[@tandaperry7675]

I also like that you don't have annoying music in the background.

[@CrochetwithClare]

i agree !! I hate it I just need to listen to the person :)

[@roxeyserckie5414]

I have just found you. How exciting. I am definitely going to make your beautiful blanket. I am a beginner so your tutorial is really good. I have been in isolation for one whole long year. Can’t wait to be able to visit the wool shop and get started on this project. Woohoo!Thanks so much. Best regards from South Africa 🇿🇦💫🧶 and I love your nail polish x

[@CrochetwithClare]

I am so happy you love my videos. Welcome to the channel

[@pinkskitchen]

Nice color combination my friend. TFS. Stay connected 😊

[@CrochetwithClare]

Thank you! They are just scraps of past projects.

[@mecfstraveler]

It would make a fantastic triangle granny shawl! Also have a yarn idea! if you have two yarns that are a lighter weight, but you REALLY want to use them, try two strands held together! I like to do that with Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable scraps! I use them paired with a size 3, light yarn. since the Unforgettable is color changing, I pick a light yarn that works with the colors of the Unforgettable yarn! So much fun! If you can imagine it, you can at least try it and see! Awesome Project Claire!

[@deborahm4484]

Hi Clare love this so easy will make for the charity l work for love the colours,happy crocheting from Ireland ,😊😊your nails are fab!

:) nail polish looks pretty.. and not distracting :)

[@CrochetwithClare]

thank you so much!

[@kskc1234]

I love that color change, I've never seen it before. What i can't understand is how you figure out the length of the two ends so that first new color stitch is in the correct color and not the old color. Yours came out perfect, can't understand how it works.

[@CrochetwithClare]

if you watch the beginning where i change the first color you see i actually do the entire stitch and then i thread the needle through where the yarn comes out of the end. this marks where the new yarn needs to start and then you do the join to add the new color

[@stephanienunez4462]

those nails are goals!!!!!!!!

[@janetstrange2693]

I'm watching your scrappy blanket tutorial. I think you should wear nail polish. I love to watch the brightly coloured nails. Love your tutorials, I'm a newbie. Leighhan Behrns told me about you.

[@barbaraexume]

just did a scrap afghan in oct/nov so low on scrap but have enough for size of lapagan. can always add on latter. b4 i put border on. thank u.

[@susanrichards7698]

It looks so beautiful

[@riskkerroo724]

What is the name of your polish?? I love it! ❤️

[@CrochetwithClare]

I had it done at a nail shop, it was a clear glitter

[@teresafromcanada3431]

Nail polish is really pretty. ☺️

[@aclark30121]

Thanks so much for this granny scraptastic--I love it--

[@mscamille3139]

I love your nail polish colors. I have no idea why anyone would not like it, or how pretty nail polish is distracting??? Why people complain about beautifully done, free video tutorials is beyond me, and in my opinion just rude. I don't think you should pay any attention to that, Clare. If you enjoy wearing pretty nail polish and it makes you feel good, then that's what you should do.

[@CrochetwithClare]

I agree, free tutorial, free advice and yes rude for sure ! Thank you for your support
