I've really enjoyed getting more comfortable with Tunisian this year. Thank you, Jayda!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Jolene! We're so happy to hear that!

[@barbarapraytor4162]

I found this one more challenging! But I had a lot of interruptions...care and feeding of one husband, three cats, and four dogs...plus everything else. I had to do a lot of frogging, BUT I finally finished it today!!! It looks beautiful, but mine will need blocking. I can't wait to see this blanket when it is done!!!❣😊

Hi Linda, thank you for the suggestion!

I'm so excited to get started. This month has been nuts getting the college kid off. I always look forward the the calendar square Thank you!!!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Michelle! Oooh what an exciting time in life 😁

[@charlottesikes8423]

Hi, I knit as well as crochet. Learning Tunisian is something I have wanted to learn so, i am so excited to find your tutorials for 2022 calendar blanket or afghan. I am doing the sample to get comfortable with these stitches. They are like purl and knitted stitches. Now to start this new square. Thank you so much Jada for your tutorials and all that you as well as Mr InStitches do for us. You both inspire me so much. Thanks again. Have a great day. Happy crocheting.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Charlotte! Thank you for watching and welcome to our Calendar Blanket project 😊

[@tonyaregan6473]

Jada, I thought you'd enjoy this story. I'm working on this square and it's slow going, so I started a Double Stitch one. At the beginning of any project I speak out loud as if I am doing a tutorial. Well the plastic part at the end of my hook fell off and boy oh boy do I have some editing to do! Thank goodness for Super Glue! I don't know any one else that crochet's, so your the only person who would get this story! Ha! I bet you have lots of funny editing stories. The Glue should be dry, back to work! A most enjoyable job I will add!

🤪 OMG! Did I have fun with the July Tunisian stitch, lol. I tackled that one every week trying to get it to work for me & finally on the last three days of July I accomplished it 🤩. I’m thrilled to say August Tunisian stitch feels like a breeze, loving it 😍. Thank you Jayda & Mr Institches for my knew growing skills with crocheting. With out you both I would be lost.....😘😘

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Kim! It's nice to alternate between the challenging and the more simple...it's better for our brains...and patience🤣 😊

@@JaydaInStitches oh your absolutely right about that Jayda, couldn’t agree with you more. I’m enjoying the brain 🧠 exercise, love challenging myself to learn new skills. once I’ve completed your 2022 calendar blanket, I’m going to be using my new skills & put them into practice by attempting a temperature blanket for 2023. 💟

Hi Karen! Welcome to August (WOW it's hot!!)

[@lindaboren6007]

I hate to tell you this but it took me the month to get the stitches right. I kept dropping the first pearl for a bit then ended getting 40 stitch count at end of rows but after starting over Four or five time I got it.

[@msbryant459]

Could this be made into an afghan? How many cast on stitches for a nice size throw? Love your tutorials.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Absolutely! Cast on would depend on the yarn/hook size and how wide you wanted it. If you're not using cables on your Tunisian hooks then making it modularly (like this square) might be a good option, plus it wouldn't be so heavy. This square is approx 11.5" wide over 32 sts.

Thanks for sharing

[@monicap65]

I am very new to Tunisian crochet and I am loving your tutorials on the subject. I have done the January square but have to redo it because my stitches were too tight. It made a great practice piece. I have had to restart February's square 7 times trying to figure out the correct hook for me (6.5mm/K/US 10.5), but it is worth it. These work up so quickly. I have a lot of siblings (5) and their spouses (4) and several nephews (3) so this will make blanket making so much faster. I noticed in some of the comments that some people had a bit of trouble keeping track of their rows and I would like to share my solution. I connected a stitch counter to the starting tail using a slip knot. When I finish the reverse pass I changed the number and because it is attached to the project I don't lose it. I hope someone finds that helpful. I took a picture, but I don't know how to share it here.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Monica, Thank you for sharing your tip! 😊

[@20oxford]

I find Tunisia crochet very confusing but keep giving it a go. It did not help when I got the giggles half way through the first row wondering how many mouths were wide open or clenching a tongue , drooling whilst trying to get the stitches right. LOL I am determined to succeed. i can manage 10 stitches at a time on a crochet hook but I hold the hook English style, I think that is why I find it so difficult.And boy are these tunisian needles long lol.

[@JaydaInStitches]

It definitely takes practice! I'm still fiddling with how to hold the hook myself 😁

[@judygraham9007]

I love it ❤️

Hi Judy!🤗

Judy G is a sweetheart! 💞

[@janeweller]

I'm really late to start a new square this month because I was finishing another blanket for my Grandma. The more I look on this pattern the more I feel tempted to switch around purls and knits every two rows to create a checkboard look. Should I dare do it? 🤔

[@JaydaInStitches]

Try it! 😁

[@leonapayne2855]

Is Jayda OK. I have not seen Sept calendar stitch.

[@christinahutchison3967]

Loving the Tunisian crochet crochet along. Question do you prefer the long Tunisian hooks or the shorter hooks with the attached cable?

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Christina! I like the solid hook the best so far, because I feel like I have better control over it. Having said that, I haven't yet made really big Tunisian projects in which case I might be grateful for the cable version...Time will tell!

[@roxannaweaver2155]

It's 4:20 am here. I was just thinking - how do I make these squares into a winter ""keep me warm and the heat down" sweater to wear around the house? Will 12 squares be enough? I think so, but I've never done anything like that before so am not sure. I've got afghans/blankets coming out my ears so I have plenty to cover up with.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Roxana! Hmmm, that depends on the size of the squares overall - if you use them this size (let's say they work out to be 12") then 4 on the front (is 24 x 24) and the same on the back...that's 8, then 2 for each arm, that's 12. You can add extra stitching to the sleeves once you have it all put together!

[@roxannaweaver2155]

@@JaydaInStitches Thank you. I think I am going to do this for sure.

[@georgiclifton6670]

August one done now waiting for September. Thinking December will be here soon. Then the new year and another calendar afghan/blanket? I know you're a busy lady. Which Tunisian stitch would you make a blanket out of for a twin(single) bed?

[@JaydaInStitches]

oooh, wow, nearly any of them so far...but I like the Ribbed Stitch the best for a larger flat project since it's got pretty lines!

[@brendascuccimarri8138]

Hi Brenda! The videos aren't going anywhere, so don't feel rushed 💗

[@eleanorferrier807]

❤I find steel hooks hurt thumb is there plastic ones pattern looks nice

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Eleanor, I haven't found a plastic Tunisian hook yet, but if they make really large ones (8 mm or higher) the may make them in plastic in order for them to feel lighter. But the length of the hook usually requires that the hook have strength, more so than an average crochet hook. Have you googled it by any chance?

[@eleanorferrier807]

@@JaydaInStitches well thanks thought I ask you I just cant use steel hooks

[@Karen822]

Jayda, I this one! It also seems to go very fast because we're basically counting by 2 going purl purrl, knit knit. I have a question. I'm sure I could just Google this, but how wide of a piece can you make with a Tunisian hook? I'm thinking about making a blanket out of this stitch! But you know me. I'll probably just start with a gift bag 1st. 😄 Since I've never gone wider than the 38 stitches, but there's always space left on the hook if you just push them down, I wonder how many more you fit on the hook? I guess I should just try it and see!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Karen! If you want to go REALLY wide, you might want to consider getting one of those Tunisian Hooks with a wire attached. You can make blankets and sweaters on those 😁 On a regular Tunisian hook (they also come in different lengths) I guess you can use as many stitches as you feel you can handle on it. If you're ok controlling a lot (with some bunching up under your hands) you can get quite a wide piece going!

[@Karen822]

@@JaydaInStitches Thanks! I'll definitely let you know if I try it!

[@mascot426]

Love it 😀 😍 ❤️

[@shondachestnut2533]

So I've been doing 44 stitches every month because my yarn was smaller. I didn't realize there would be a stitch multiple requirement. Should I go down to 42 or up to 46 stitches? Want to make sure I'm still able to connect them all in the end. Thanks!

[@BS-ig7mj]

Hi, I had the same (with 52 stitches) and it comes out really nice. You'll just end with two purl stitches instead of two knit stitches. Greetings from germany ;-)

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Shonda! Since these squares are mainly for practice, don't sweat it 😊 Your pattern will work out beautifully, it will just have an extra column of purl (which is still the ribbed stitch!). Stick to the same stitch count 💗

[@georgiclifton6670]

woohoo August

[@anneramirez9577]

Well, I’m not thrilled by Tunisian stitches in general. They are complicated and not always pretty, in my opinion. I’d rather knit. But I’d really rather just crochet. Plus, it’s already too thick and static to wear any of this in Texas. We have summer for about six months of the year, lol. So, Jayda, I’ll watch a bit of it, but for the most part, I’ve been looking at your baby blankets and accessories from previous years.

[@dawnbaker9274]

Fellow Texan. I'm getting ready for another Snowmageddon. 🤣

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Anne! We have winter here in Canada for about 8 months...maybe we should consider visiting Texas for about 4 months and we'll break even 🤣
