Mighty Mile-A-Minute Crochet Calendar Blanket - February 2021 - V-Stitch

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Everyone! Check out our official Calendar Blanket Website Page : jaydainstitches.com/calendar-blankets.php February may not look as long as January...UNTIL you add the border and start joining, then it all works out. Having said that, if you have some seriously crazy tension issues (for example, you're mixing yarn weights), here are some Fixes 1. Blocking. Lightly steam block the tighter strips before adding borders for ease of joining. 2. Adding more rows. This is an option, but it requires more work when it comes to the border. We want the number of stitches in each border row to be the same along the sides so that we can join them without any trouble. In this case, if you are adding more rows to make something size up, you'll have to evenly space out the dc stitches along the side, making sure they match the number along the first strip. 3. Changing up the hook size. This is the easiest option! If you find that your gauge is off from the first strip, then you can adjust your hook size. If your gauge is tighter (smaller stitches) go up a hook size or 2 until your stitches match. If your gauge is looser (bigger stitches) go down a hook size or 2 until your stitches are smaller and match. When you get to adding the border on this strip, you will want to return to the original hook size so it matches the other strip. REMEMBER adding the border will stretch out OR shrink your pattern stitch to match the other strips, so don't fret if your gauge is off by a little Stitch Guides for this Pattern are available in our Etsy Shop - www.etsy.com/ca/shop/JaydaInStitches

Hi Jayda, In the January one you said do 77 and now in this one you're saying to do 78. Why is it different from what you said for January's video? I'm confused now? I really don't want to mess this up considering I'm making 6 of these blankets all at the same time. Can you please clarify this for me before I begin this because I really don't want to mess this up please and thank you so very much for your help.

[@MelanieCravens]

Good point. I was wondering that also. Ok, I went back and looked at my notes for the first strip. It DOES have 78 rows.

[@alicehathaway1377]

Row 78 is where you square off the end of the strip. Feb strip does not need to be squared off. The pattern is square. Hope this helps.

[@valackerman7519]

@@MelanieCravens 77 in first video when she says do this for 77 rows

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi! The Split Shell stitch is 77 rows plus 1 finishing row #78

[@katievioletthedivadog8662]

I am so excited! Made my January strip right after I watched last month, and will make this one tonight. I have a log created of the colors I’m going to use for each month. January blue strip and white border. February red with pink border, March dark green with light green border, etc. Am making little appliqués for each one too. January snowflakes, February hearts, March shamrocks, etc. This will make it so easy to have a blanket done at the end of the year. I have other CALs that I haven’t even started yet because it seems a bit overwhelming. Thank you so much for this.😃❤️

[@helenedgar2003]

Loving the appliqué idea

[@bucklebunny6661]

Awesome idea 💡, thanks

[@JaydaInStitches]

What a fabulous idea!

[@robinhawk1288]

I was nervous about "join as you go" before I saw how you were doing it, but now I'm not. I believe I can do this!!! Thanks, Jayda!

[@masuganut2082]

I’ve been watching Jayda since nearly the start of her channel almost 6 years ago. Trust in her. What I learned when I’m crocheting or just crafting in general is to be patient with myself but to remind myself it’s supposed to be enjoyable. Don’t take things too seriously. Go with the flow of things. Yes you want a nicely finished project but you want to enjoy the process! Stick with Jayda and I bet by the time your done with this blanket you will be 100 times more confident in yourself ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jsapcakrrow]

I tried the join as you go multiple times before finally giving up on it so I just stitched mine together. :) I hope it worked for you. :)

[@gailburd9750]

I learned the join-as-you-go method a couple of years ago when I made my first granny square afghan. Best way to join. Can be tweaked a little if pieces don't fit perfectly together.

[@jonijoboutwell4045]

This is so fun. Not looking forward to getting a year older but can’t wait to see the finished project. Lol

[@JaydaInStitches]

Agreed! Thank you for watching Mary 😊

[@gracenesbitt3172]

I have a suggestion for those who are trying to decide colors for the mile a minute blanket we are doing here. I have some yarn that I am using that changes color as it is worked, it is kind of live variegated but in one color. It starts off with one shade like a dark color and then goes into lighter shades and then back to dark. For example I used Blue Tiful for Jan and I am using Fiusha for Feb. the color changes it does reminds me of how the weather changes through out the month. They are both Red Heart, Super Savor, Ombre. I love the mile a minute that you are doing. I hope you have a wonderful day and thank you

[@trishaturner2078]

This is taking shape Jayda and join as you go is a great way of seeing how the colors come together. I wonder what you have in mind for the border at the end. Have a great weekend both of you.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Trisha! You Too :)

[@suesmith2572]

I’m a newer crocheter and made the first strip easily. This second one was easy as well but I did the required number of stitches and it seemed too short - shorter than January’s strip. But when you go to put the edge on and attach it to January’s strip the new one does stretch! So even though it seems too short, when you do February’s strip mind the stitch count!!

[@margaretfay7470]

tysm that helps :)

[@dianemyers4657]

Me too! Mine was short I thought until I matched shell to shell and it came out perfectly!😉

[@lalimon5817]

Mine was short as well ... sadly as I laid the strips side by side (excluding the boarder in January), it’s obviously a good 5+” or so off. I’ve counted numerous times and have 78 rows. Was the vast differences your experience too?

[@suesmith2572]

@@lalimon5817 definitely! There is a lot of stretch involved but it looks good once done! The border makes everything ok in the end.

[@karenstangel9558]

Thank you all for your comments! My February strip was so much shorter - trust the stitch count - it works!

[@patdancer985]

I just ran across this tutorial and even though I have made a regular mile-a-minute blanket before yours is so unique....one strip a month with a different Stitch in each strip and the join as you go is so easy. WOW. Even though I am working on 2 other CALS I have to make this !!! Thanks and take care 😯🤗💞

[@heidi6202x]

I am making this in honor of my sister who passed from Covid last December. I have had the yarn for awhile, but could not decide on a perfect blanket idea for it. I saw this and said that's the one! I know this will help me get through, especially by only having a little to do each month. Thank you so much, Jayda! I have plans to give it to her oldest child for Christmas this year, since I can't give it directly to her. 🌞

I have had a couple of bright ideas and I’m happy this is a simple patterns set for a complicated year - - or two. I am taking the last week pattern and making bookmarks with just Cotton brand yarn from dollar tree. It has 85% cotton 15% poly so doesn’t make a good pot holder. It does, however make a great bookmark with a small E or F hook. Thank you for helping us learn something simple that looks quite complicated. Thanks for teaching is the Join as you go and helping me stay out of stores. My bins will become the store this year. Love you two and the comical interactions.

Jayda - It has been less than a year since I began learning crochet with you. There are two surprises (for me.) One is when you think what you are doing is going to work -- but it doesn't. The other one is when you think it is not going to work, but it does!! I have an extra February strip because on a whim I decided to border and try the first one I cast away....surprise! It matched when I joined it! Expect a picture in Etsy.

This is a super fun project and I am looking forward to the whole year. One comment, I found I had to go up a hook size for the v stitch to match the first strip. I checked my tension and yarn, I even grabbed some yarn from the first color strip to see if it was the yarn. They are all 4 worsted weight and from the same company. For whatever reason, this stitch works up tight for me. The shell stitch to join them was fine on the I Hook. Just had to use a J hook for the V stitch. Someone may have the same issue I did with the v stitch and just wanted to put it out there.

@@JaydaInStitches I may be crazy but I have started 10 of them, 3 for my kids and 7 for my grandchildren. I thought this afghan would be the perfect one to make for Christmas presents. Thank you again Jayda, your amazing and a wonderful teacher. God Bless

Oh so do love this CAL, I wanted to make this blanket with all of the dollar store yarn, I have January and February's completed, now I'm bummed 😓, I enjoyed these two strips so much I just wanted to keep going lol. So January and February strip have been completed I have three blankets started, keeping track of how many skeins it will take to make these. So far I have three empty ball bands. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this awesome CAL. Can hardly wait for March, chomping at the bit.😂😂😂😂💞💞💞💞

Thank you for watching Mary😊

I am not a very patient person, the waiting has been killing me. So, because I couldn't wait, I ended up making enough strips for 6 blankets, so at the end of a year I'll have 6 complete blankets, each one a different color scheme. It's been a lot of fun. But I still can't wait for March's. 😁❤️

[@JaydaInStitches]

Fantastic! We'll see you Friday Terrie :)

[@sagittarian1955]

This is my first CAL. Waiting eagerly for March! Should go much smoother, now that I finally got the hang of the join as you go! Not going to tell you why I had to frog it ....twice!

[@JaydaInStitches]

It definitely gets easier :) See you Friday!
