Ophelia Talks about a CONTINUOUS JOIN OF GRANNY SQUARES

[@terryriley7490]

I do so love this continuous GS join...thank you so very much for sharing!!!!!!!

[@OpheliaTalks]

You are so welcome! Anja x

[@heleng5785]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I love granny squares but I'll do a blanket or cardigan, hate the joining process, and then not do another for a few years. After burying the thread 3 or 4 times on each square and then having to join as well they are a lot of work. I had tried the more traditional join as you go and always ripped it out and slip stitch or SC joined because I didn't like the look of the other join as you go separating and looking messy. This method was easy to pick up, no more ends to weave in and most importantly to me looks amazing!!! I'm a 40 year crocheter, I can't believe I didn't think of this myself. Hands down the most important crochet video I've seen on KZbin.

wow, thank you so much and I am so happy it was helpful for you. Thank you for watching helen g ! Anja xxx 💕🌈

[@Islandflower66]

This is a beautiful join. I hated sewing ends which kept me from doing squares or any motif projects but with this I definitely want to do some motif projects. I loved doing the motifs and have baskets full of motifs and now I have a join I can use with less weaving in ends. Thank you for this video! 💕 😊

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching Mary Jackson ! Anja xxx 💕🌈

Hi Anja! This makes your finished project so pretty. I love your manicure. It's so pretty. Have a wonderful weekend, my dear.

[@crittermama]

I believed you when you said this was worth it because I loathe seeing in my ends. I fought with this and my lack of coordination for about an hour before it clicked (I'm a little slow sometimes). As much as I hated this for that hour, I want to say thank you for teaching it to us. I'm making a larger version of the play blanket for each of my cousins youngest 2 children for their birthday and even though I measured, his turned out much smaller and I didn't want to do it apart and start over so I got creative and decided to add an addition border made of is a few rows of granny clusters and made some simple granny squares to attach to that and decided to make myself learn this to do that. I kept losing the lip I pulled up no matter how long it was, so I finally started putting it over my left index finger to hold it and that did the trick for me. I'm still working it out, but I think it will look nice on the end. If nothing else, it will be unique.

[@lyndalhancock518]

Thankyou! Thankyou! Thankyou! I really don't like sewing granny squares together, but, I love this method of joining the squares. It's a sanity saver!

[@747cindy]

I've had a bag of granny squares for years, but was afraid to join them. I've taught myself how to Crochet. Now, I'm going to attempt to put it together. Thank you!!!

[@donnahutchinson5392]

I love, love, love this. How smart is that joining method. I will definitely make this joint stitch my go to stitch. Thank you for sharing your discovery with the world.

[@camyflorea9401]

This continuous join is so amazing. I have started the Cat Kidson inspired blanket and I have tried this method with a few granny squares and I am so happy! Thank you so much, Anya! 💕 I hope I will have the courage to post…

[@OpheliaTalks]

Please do post a picture, I would love to see your project, Anja x

[@ChiarettaCroce]

This is an amazing way to join grannies, thank so much ... ! 🙏👍

[@pearlwalker552]

Thank you for this video. I was looking for a way to Join As You Go and after much searching and trying I found your video and it is the clearest one I have found and am now happily joining my Granny squares.

[@julies5515]

I find making the squares the easiest to do. I'm working on an Afghan now settling on which method I want to use to join them is the hardest part. I do think I will try this method first. I do like the way it looks.

[@OpheliaTalks]

That's a great idea, yes do try it, it's quite simple! Anja x

[@thoughtsofjoyk]

“Two ends!! HA-HA!!” Love it! 💕 I’m going to give this method a go today! Thank you! 😊

[@lesleyoliver5582]

I love the finish. Time wise, I would imagine it's 6 of one and half a dozen of the other.

[@moniquecarcel5500]

I have just joined some daisy squares to make a cushion.I have joined the squares the same as this video and I love it.Thank you.I for showing us how to join this way it's so neat.x

[@lisbee23]

I learn so much each video. Thank you.

[@camillefoote5678]

Genius! Brilliant! Thank you for sharing this joining technique. I used to be so against anything requiring removing the hook. But I completely agree with you, much easier than weaving all those ends! Besides the pain of weaving all the ends, you have the bulk it creates and the potential of ends coming loose over time.

[@AngelOfU2]

I love this so much! Wish I'd known about it before I started my current project but it's ok, I'll just have to use it on the next one 😆 Thanks for sharing!

[@crittermama]

Thank you for this tutorial. I'm looking granny squares now and more lately. The ends are off-putting though. This may very well be my answer. I think so the on and off the hook looping would become routine and not even matter in a large project connotation to the alternative. I also love the skirt. I've been thinking about making sunbathing wearable other than a scarf. Granny squares are such a good way to use scrap yarn and no more than it would take for a skirt, the possibilities are endless. If you had several little girls, oh my,the matching or coordinating options. My cousin has a 13 year old daughter, 4 year old daughter & a 4 yesr old son they try to dress similarly color wise for group holiday pictures. I have so many ideas now.

[@josephbaumann292]

This is wonderful! Can’t wait to try it.

[@robynw6307]

I love the look of this compared to just slst joining between the clusters, as I've seen on other videos. Great job, and thank you.

[@juliemurray4719]

I love the way this looks! I used your joining method on your cath kidson inspired blanket and thought that was fab but this is awesome, and of course as you say less ends....bonus. Going to use this method on my rainbow granny square blanket, now just my other WIPs to finish first. Thank you

[@julieenslow5915]

This is pure genius! Thank you very much!! I love the accent edge even more than I love the limitation to sewing in ends, both great reasons to do this!

[@MsDorothy1963]

This is so amazing! Thank you so much for this video. It will save me time in hiding those ends.

[@joycesmith8088]

I agree with saving time and less ends.

[@taranoel7990]

I love this idea- it’s beautiful 😍 Thank you so much 😊

[@geetawalia5525]

Thank you so much for sharing your video.

[@OpheliaTalks]

My pleasure. Thank you for watching Geeta Walia ! Anja xxx 💕🌈

[@naseemkermalli1298]

Lovely indeed.... however, what if I have a straight line of double crochets instead of clusters...I love your instructions 💕 Thanks from Canada.

[@catier1195]

Love your videos and love your nails in this video!

[@OpheliaTalks]

Thank you so much!!

[@theaverstijlen181]

Thank you for this nice and clear tutorial. I just started to join my squares by this method and i like it.

[@Loubur52]

Love it!

[@sandraschwientek4962]

Hey lovely, this is a game changer !!!!. I love scrap projects even if i have to make scraps,lol. I do avoid sometimes to save the trouble of weaving in ends.or other times i dont and call it a design feature.thanks so much for this idea.sandra in oz

[@blondiefernandes4365]

Love this but could you go a bit slower when doing it. I love your tutorials

[@paloma3001]

I love it! Thank you so much!

[@patriciaa3462]

Have you ever tried to add a chain between the treble clusters to prevent the terrible culring of your squares? I can only do one chain between on the side and two at each corner. Have seen some folk do three chain for the corner with no chain on the side and otherrs do only one chain between clusters everywhere and yet others do one chain between the clusters on the side and three in the corner. It all depends on your personal tension while crocheting. There is no hard and fast rule that you have to do it one way or the other.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Hi Patricia, I have found my way works for me, but of course if your tension requires you do more then please do, Anja x

[@crochetcrafts129]

I love this!

[@kloostertuintje]

Iedere keer leer ik weer van je. Schitterend♥️

[@OpheliaTalks]

daar ben ik heel blij om Jacqueline! Elke dag leer je iets nieuw! Vele groetjes, Anja x

[@catiacabral9333]

I love it! Wonderful!

[@helenoreillylong9497]

Can this join be adapted to join your solid granny squares? If so is it possible you might do a video on it? Thanks in advance.

[@karenkoutsoumbaris6308]

That is amazing, Thankyou

[@onThisJourney]

Love this technique!! I despise sewing in all the ends 😂😭😭

[@anonymous20.]

Really beautiful

[@RuthBlanding12052015]

I love your tutorial and nails

[@chronicstitcher7933]

I like it. Subscribed!

[@heathersdiamondpaintingand447]

I really like this method, I just wish you had shown attaching more than just the two on the second row. I can't get mine to look anything like yours.

[@OpheliaTalks]

after the 2 on the second row you do the same as on the first row. Hope this helps

[@debraeaton5184]

You have made so many amazing blankets!! I want to make a granny stripes, with the yarn you use, how many skeins do I need?

[@kathleenchamp3764]

Hello, I'm very curious is you can use this method with a different "stitch"? Meaning rather than the grannie (3dbl's & so on) can it be used on..umm say for example; hdc's across in each stitch? In my head It would make sense that you could use any stitch as long as you drop the loop and go through a stitch to come back and pick up the loop and finish whatever style stitch your using. I'm just not sure that theory is actually applicable. lol Ugh , I sure hope this makes sense. It's very late & I'm exhausted . Thank you Ophelia X's

[@lyndalhancock518]

I have used this method to join squares made with dc (American) together, and because I didn't want to make the squares a lot bigger, I used sc instead of dc and it has worked beautifully.

[@CarosLines]

Masterly - thank you!

[@sarahjcheek1]

Can you do this on solid granny squares?

[@monalek206]

Is it convenient to block all squares first and then do the joining?

[@OpheliaTalks]

You can block if you feel the need, if they're not all the same size, l never feel the need to block really, Anja x

[@ritadixon3107]

ifnyou have more squares,20 or more how do you join/

[@beverlywood4856]

Where do you get your crochet hooks from?

[@OpheliaTalks]

Beverly, I sell them on my website, details are below the video in the description box, hope this helps. Anja x

[@faridehfazaeli5692]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@lallyladyoflallybroch]

Cool idea but how can i make this technique if i have squares with a other Design or a border, i think than it doesnt work this technique. 🤷‍♀️

[@OpheliaTalks]

lally ladyoflallybroch yes it’s does add another row so that is how this works!

[@lukeshepherd9529]

What does the backside look like you never showed it on either bit.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Pretty much the same as the front really, Anja x

[@carolynwilliams7666]

the join seem confusing but I love crochet granny square
