LET'S TALK ABOUT THE CROCHET BLANKETS THAT I STOLE | Ophelia Talks

[@OpheliaTalks]

Oh my I just hope my ex doesn’t watch this!! Rachel don’t show him!! LOL 😂

[@caryulmer7063]

Ophelia Talks The poncho looks to me like it might be motifs joined together. The doillie would be started in the middle with the circle. Should be easy to count the stitches to follow from there.

[@carolking5755]

They are to precious to be stored in a shed . Shame on who ever put them there. You should be thankful those olden times . She was very talented and did all that with out tutorials and patterns she probably didn’t have . Very talented . Your very blessed to have the treasures.

[@nancygirl2323]

Your grandma was a talented woman!! She created different borders and really put some time into her blankets 😊 How cool that you have those from her.

[@marionmathews9852]

Your grandma’s blankets are a proper treat to look at. I loved all the love that went into them and how cherished they are today. TFS

[@sandaramoore9660]

What a very gorgeous selection of treasures that you have from your grandmother!!! I’m sitting here crying watching you as you show them...they are simply lovely!!!

[@donnabecreates]

You need a bookcase to display the beautiful blankets so you can see them every day. Thank you for sharing!

[@tuberfying]

Yeeessss, one with glass doors so you can but keep them dust free. 😀

[@tuberfying]

*can see

[@themtnbiker]

What beautiful blankets and what talent your grandmother had! Thank you for honoring us with a glimpse of her work and also for your sentiments for her by keeping all her hard work. Too many times, now a days, folks don't seem to want to keep family heirlooms and you see all that talent in Goodwill stores! Sad.

[@sparkle4051]

You are very lucky to have your Grandmother's crocheted blankets. It is apparent that you cherish them. Your children are lucky to have blankets as reminders of her as well. The ones with the stars are so pretty. Your pram blanket, it is so pretty! So is your doll blanket! Wow. More. One treasure after another. The green blanket and the different colors border. I have not seen anything like that. Now, you can keep that tradition going with some of your crocheted blankets. What a fun video. Thank you for sharing your Grandmother's blankets and extra special pieces with us.

[@adonzworld5308]

you are the keeper of the blankets....history thru crochet. such an honor!!!!

[@suzanne2726]

Thank you for sharing your Grandma's beautiful blankets and memories with us Anja. She was obviously very talented, intelligent and creative. (Guess it runs in the family). Can't wait to start on our CAL and begin creating some new memories, for all of us and our families. PS am doing your enclosed border on my Scrap/Orla Kiely inspired blanket for my daughter... Queen bed size. It's really challenging, but also very enjoyable. All your efforts are making this difficult time more enjoyable! A hardy thank you for all your work!

[@cherylkapell8782]

I love how happy you get when showing us your blankets! You are a glowing soul! Beautiful blankets!! Great memories for you!

[@OpheliaTalks]

[@CoolCraftyCreations]

This was an absolute beautiful sentiment and homage to your Grandmother's work! The Art of Crochet lives on through our children, and our children's children. Look how you took up crocheting, now maybe your children will pick up a hook, and the legacy will continue. So beautiful of you to share her wonderful creativity with the world! Thank you

[@kelliryan464]

Every blanket a hug, a memory and a blessing from your grandma. This made me remember my grandma's. So heartwarming in a worrisome time. Thank you for all the smiles. 1000 blessings and hugs dear crochet friend.:':.

[@lyndacrossland8982]

I think it’s wonderful that you have kept your granny’s blankets and even better that you keep the skill going 😍

[@deborahm4484]

Hi Anya what gorgeous treasures from your grandma thanks so much for sharing ,I was feeling very low and didn't feel like crocheting and when I watched you it inspired me,so thanks so very much for sharing,sending lots of hugs from Ireland xx

[@pd9414]

Washing blanket in gentle detergent made for wools is necessary,as the dirt and grime will eat the fibre. My aunt had a box full of crochet work which was left alone for 2-3yrs after her death and it was ultimately eaten by worms and moths!! Cleaning the fibre increases its life and strengthens it.Excellent work by your grandmother,lovingly crocheted for you all.Lucky you! Plz handwash though!!

[@lidiamacedo5061]

What beautiful memories! So sweet of you to keep them all as a reminder. She was one busy lady! I love how you continue crocheting thru her!

[@rebeccadunning2649]

Anja, i just love your Grandma's blankets! what a treasure they are! my Grandma crocheted also, and she taught me when i was about 13. i dont have any crocheted blankets from her, but i gave some quilts that she made and some that my great-grandma made! i have made so many crocheted blankets...i just gifted one to one of my grandsons for his birthday. i have lost count of how many ive made! i taught my daughter-in-law and one of my daughters and a couple of friends to crochet, as well. my best friend (of almost 40 years) and i crochet many blankets and teach eachother patterns all the time! it is such a wonderful fellowship and sharing, isnt it? i hope my children and grandchildren will treasure the blankets i made them with the love i put into every stitch! sorry for such a long post! God bless you! and thank you for all you do!

[@janetlepre7555]

I love it! What wonderful memories and beautiful blankets. Your grandmother was prolific!! It's clear that you've inherited her gift. You will be warm for a lifetime! Thank you for sharing this - it is heart-soothing! Stay well and healthy! I am looking forward to the up coming CAL! I'm ready!! 😘🥰

thank you for this blanket pageant! I really enjoyed it. I started crocheting when I was in my 20s and 40 years later I'm still crocheting but a lot less. My current project: a granny-square cardigan. It may be a jacket by the time I’m finished with it. I love listening to your videos Your bubbly energy is contagious! I’m always smiling when listening to them. L.

[@julbea738]

So many beautiful memorie

[@cynthiametcalfe6624]

Hi Anya, I just wanted to tell you I enjoyed seeing your blankets so much. The one with your Mum's blanket was wonderful too. I want to try one of the baby blocks! They are all lovely, and such treasures. I'm looking forward to your CAL. I've never done a CAL before, but your video on CALs made me want to try one! Thanks for all the inspiration.

[@shellybacon934]

I love the star blanket so much. I'm going to make one for my son and his husband for christmas this year

[@meaganegerton2805]

Your so lucky to have such wonderful treasures, I love looking at your grandma’s blankets.

What a treasure trove! You are very lucky Anja ❤️❤️

[@joycelynmatsimella792]

Thnks for sharing,even those "older" ones,hv such a lot of stories around each project.Looking forward to your nxt session.🤗

[@susankraklio8863]

Love them all! And like that she started labeling them. So many precious memories. Was hoping the lavender one that was hanging on the line in the video with your mom would reappear. It was my favorite.

[@julesiou12]

I love the green and cream blankets, especially the baby block one. So pretty. How lovely that all her work is cherished by her granddaughter. I love the star blocks too, such great pops of colour. As for the two stranded, funnily enough I'm just getting into doing that, maybe because my eyes aren't so great, let alone my age lol. Great cheery video in these times it's good to appreciate our elders. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful treasures x x x

[@sharakirkby2744]

You can wash them in woolite which is very gentle and great for wool. Use cool water and let them soak. It’s an excellent product. Beautiful blankets and memories of your grandmother 💖

[@carolyngrant2192]

I love seeing all the blankets your grandmother made! My grandmother also made so many, a blanket, sweater, cap and bootie set for each of my 5 children and very sadly with all my moving I only have been able to keep several of her table scarves. They are indeed Treasurs to keep.

[@sharring7]

I love your spirit. You always make me smile. Ty

[@appeltje40]

Hi Anja, What a treasure you have and what an inspiration your grandmother was. She must have been a very sweet woman. This was a very nice video. Thank you for sharing your storie. Warm greetings from the Netherlands. xx

Your grandmother was an amazing artist.

[@ruthdennisKnits]

So lovely all those blanket memories ‼️ In 2019 I started making afghans to use up stash. I've had hand and wrist issues and finger surgery,,but now I'm raring to "GET MY CROCHET ON" 😎

[@AnonymousAmyMakes]

You're grandmum was a very special lady!! She was VERY talented and obviously always busy making blankets for everyone!! I absolutely LOVE the pattern of the "baby block" blankets . Thomas's is blue and white. Rachel's is pink and white I believe. I just adore that pattern!! Your grandmum did as well it seems! 😁 Do you have tutorial for that stitch, or plans to make one??? I'd be honored!! Thank you for sharing her gorgeous work! Very much appreciated!

[@AnonymousAmyMakes]

And also...that ponch is STUNNING!! I'd love to know how she did that! I'm sure you would too 😊😊

[@rosem6604]

I love love love all the blankets! Especially adore the baby squares. I'd like to try this sometime. I live in Israel. It's anywhere from warm to hot-as-heck 8 months out of the year.. we do have cold(ish) winters but in general we just don't use yarny blankets too much. I have made some for family and friends, especially baby blankets, and a couple for us but there isn't much of a demand other than that. It's so sad for me. Thanks for showing us all that wonderful work your grandma did with love.

[@marney68papua]

What beautiful blankets your nana made and her work has gone world wide because I will be using her ideas the v-stitch and the open cushion cover with ties I shall make thanks for sharing just lovely

[@vegangelist]

Ok, those window pane filet blankets, with the fringe, are SO FABULOUS! I'd love to recreate those! You might need to look at those and make a video recreating that design. Either that or film it closely and slowly so we can all copy it. LOL

[@OpheliaTalks]

look out for the CAL! that's all I am saying!

[@vegangelist]

Ophelia Talks I sure hope it includes the fringed triangles on the side, that's all I'm saying. ;)
