Mighty Mile-A-Minute Crochet Calendar Blanket - January 2021 - Split Shell Stitch

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Everyone! Stitch Guides for this Pattern are available in our Etsy Shop - www.etsy.com/ca/shop/JaydaInStitches

[@stevemalan7264]

Hi there, I bought 85% cotton 15% polyester yarns in 3 colours to crochet a mile a minute bedspread for my queen size bed. My problem is each one of my first three strips vary in length. However each FIRST finished length of "1st pat of pattern" has 144 rows. How on earth are they all in different lengths. I am so disappointed. I hope someone can assist me. Tx Sue

[@grandmalovesmebest]

Why do you act like that? It is really goofy. We would all appreciate it if you video instructors cultivated a professional manner and kept your instructional video intros to Hi, I'm so&so and I'll teach you x,y,z. Then do it. Thanks. Hope to see improvement next time I tune in.

[@grandmalovesmebest]

@@stevemalan7264 it's been awhile but nobody seems to be answering you. Perhaps your tension is changing as you crochet? Mine sometimes changes a bit if I keep working after I'm tired. Also, it could be the yarn. Yarns sometimes relax as we work, esp as the skein gets smaller and looser. Have you tried crocheting on a table top? It keeps the yarn from stretching due to the weight of the project as it grows. Hope this helps. Happy hooking.🙋

I’m thinking of doing this in the birthstone colors of each month. Will be for my nephew and his wife.

I love mile a minute blankets. You don't see those much any more they were popular back in the 70's and 80's. Very excited for this.

[@angelb3252]

I never saw a mile a minute blanket in person and only learned about them 3 yrs ago. Now I think I will finally make one! Granny squares are common in my area.

[@angelb3252]

I don't even like granny squares. They scare me.

[@rosesperfumelace]

@@angelb3252 scare as intimidated? Once you do a basic granny square then the more complex ones seem more intriguing 😊

[@matildarei]

Years ago I made a mile-a-minute blanket for a new nephew (he’s 18 now and still loves it). My dad remarked at how lovely it was, so I made him one in his size. He had to move town for a job while the rest of us packed up to join him later, and he took that mile-a-minute blanket over the dozens of my mom’s gorgeous quilts. Now that my dad has passed on, this is one of my sweetest memories of him. He always appreciated and encouraged my crochet work. 💕

Ya know what’s so nice about calendar Blankets? It forces me to slow down and enjoy it. Idk if other crafters are like this but as soon as I start a project I rush to finish it because I want the “finished product” here already. And by the time I’m done I have cramping hands and I’m in pain. This forces me to go slow because no matter how fast I stitch, I’m not gonna see the finished product till December. So between anxiety and other things, I’m truly thankful for a project like this. Thank you so much. (I also need to cheer myself up because my favorite show “Anne with an E” won’t be having another season so I’m bummed) Thank you Jayda and Mr. InStitches God bless ❤️

Hi Su! They're not quite as famous as granny squares, but they're about as old ;) And they're super stash busters!

[@JaydaInStitches]

I love this pattern. I have made several blankets using your video and always come back because it’s so easy and fast. ❤

I hope the other stitches are easy as this one.. will try to do this. It seems like fun.

Fast, fun and easy, that's the idea this year :D

[@debidiaz6569]

This will be awesome Jayda!! I need to get into this. I don't make a lot of blankets. I tend to loose interest.. But I love all of your patterns... And your smile is contagious...

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Debi, thank you! :)

[@lauragile4572]

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you for watching Vicky!

[@joanc.6828]

I wish I had seen this back in January. It looks like a really fun crochet project to do while I'm in-between projects. I really love the shell stitch and have already made a few things using this pattern so it'll be an easy one to work on!

[@mimimartin]

You can still start now and catch up. These pieces go so quick!

[@vickiflack5045]

So, looking forward to this Mighty Mile CAL! Love the intro, too...!

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you Vicki!

[@carolyndennis4312]

Jayda you taught me how to crochet during the pandemic. Now we are doing 7X9 inch swatches for Warm Up America. Would you believe I had to do a refresher tutorial for my neighbor. she knows about you and I told her I was going to tell you. You are so wonderful. Carolyn Dennis daytona Beach

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you so much for sharing us with your friends Carolyn :)

[@Sweet_Treat_]

I'm so new to crochet that when she was talking about the yarn weights and hook sizes all I heard were the adults from the Charlie Brown movies.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi! Your yarn label will have the weight category information on it and your hooks will have their size written on them (usually near the end) Welcome to the woolly world of crochet * waaaa waaa wa wa waaaa* 😁

[@karlareyes4688]

Same here!!😅😅

[@lbraley]

What a great idea. My January strip is done; it went so fast! Turquoise blue and light blue.

[@dawncarlton2251]

The Intro was soooo cute....great job, of course I missed it live, but watching now. Have a good weekend 🌈

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Dawn, it wasn't live, so don't worry, you didn't miss anything 😁

[@deediekloncz4703]

Well decided I'd join in this years blanket I did the country scene one( my grandson loves it and he's 14). Last year I did a temperature one, it's very very long lol but it's 2020 fitting lol. This looks fun and I have lots of scraps.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Perfect! :)

[@virginiamorris7079]

Oh my goodness, it’s beautiful! Like magic! Thank you!

[@JaydaInStitches]

We're so glad you like it! 😁
