New Crochet Along Launch Live // Sunday Live Crochet Talk

[@carolyngrant2192]

Yes, I’m almost 80 yo and I raised 5 children, and each Easter they got another of Beatrix Potter’s little books in their Easter baskets. I have several copies of the little books of her entire writings. I have Peter Rabbit plates and figurines and stuffed Peter Rabbit and Jamima Puddle Duck that I put out at Easter with a miniature tea set. I watched several times the movie of her life because I love her so much. I’m looking forward to seeing how you translate her books to a crochet blanket.

Oh how lovely, I hope you will enjoy the new CAL, Anja x

Oh this is so perfect! Beatrix potter is a family favorite! Mrs. Tiggywinkle has always been my mother’s favorite! I got the entire little book set with decorative box when my eldest was tiny, she read through all of them a few years back! So exciting! We have a Peter Rabbit cookbook and a big tea tin with the characters all over it. And yes you MUST dress the part! I love that you do that! I always loved doing that. You’re bringing part of history and literature alive through crochet and I love that! It was so nice seeing your kitty as well and I loved hearing the seagulls outside your window. I’ve been stressed lately so this video really helped me to calm . Thank you for your creativity and kindness ❤❤❤

[@OpheliaTalks]

Hello and thank you so much for watching, Anja x

[@deweygraham2432]

Will you be having a pattern for the Beatrix Potter cardigan? What level of crochet would it be? I am a beginner but I did make Agatha's Reading Shawl for my 99 year old mother. She loved it. Dewey from the Texas Hil Country.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Yes there will be a pattern once it’s released, and with the tutorial I’m sure you will be able to make it, Anja x

[@kellybryson7754]

I would love an Alice in Wonderland theme

[@cherryjones5962]

What yarn do we need for the cardigan and how much?

[@OpheliaTalks]

I used 6 balls of Stylecraft Highland heathers. Here’s the link to purchase from my webshop www.opheliatalkscrochet.com/highland-heathers-dk-all-colours, Anja x

[@barbaramarch6880]

What’s the difference in the Windermere yarn packs?

[@OpheliaTalks]

They are the same yarn weight, fibre, shades, just the cost is the difference, Anja x

[@barbaramarch6880]

@@OpheliaTalks are they both anti-pilling? Thank you!

[@OpheliaTalks]

Yes

[@trudznz]

Disney-bounding is 'a thing' so going to the house dressed up could be considered Potter- bounding maybe. I am sure you won't be the only one to do it.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Thanks! Anja x
