Hope you enjoy this joining technique as much as I do. I love how it takes a heavier yarn weight blanket and turns it into something light and airy. Plus it's just really pretty. Let me know if you give it a try! xx

I've been looking for a different way of joining granny squares when I saw your video. Yours is perfect! I love it! A new subscriber here.

[@indyunknown3544]

I have 3 blankets behind me! Roz, I subbed last week after getting frustrated with paper patterns. I am quitting smoking. I have an anxiety disorder. I didn't think I liked this until I followed your tutorials. Yesterday was a horrid day. My uncle was killed in a horrific car accident and I was a mess... Nothing to do with my hands... Until I grab my fave bundles and sit down. It kept me calm to make squares all night. And I'll use the squares to make a blanket for his wife, my aunt. Bless you.

[@PlayHookywithMe]

Oh, Indy 💔 I’m so utterly sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family. Thank you for your message, what you are doing to help get through it is beautiful and I’m SO glad you have found something to help you through your anxiety. Congratulations to you on quitting smoking. Not easy but you’re doing it and that is something to be very proud of. 🙏🏻💕

[@KCCAT5]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have been trying to do this on some granny squares and I have. This is the reason I don't like granny squares because I have to spend so much time joining them and I don't like the the old fashioned join with the Black Ridge in the middle I wanted something different and I found instructions for this braid but the written instructions had me confused and while I did manage to get a couple of them joined I put it away because I couldn't follow the pattern I was getting lost and when I saw a previous video of yours and I saw that flat braid I know I had to go find you a tutorial. This makes it look so much easier than what I was reading so thank you very much.💖

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I’m so glad that you found the video helpful. 😀Yes, sometimes it takes a visual to go with the written for it to 🫰 click🧶💕

[@janedc5ch319]

I had ask about blocking earlier. I answered my own question. I joined 4, and it looks great. Thank you so much for your easy instructions. Sometimes my brain goes one way ,when it should have gone the other way. You made it easy for me❤❤

It's me again. One of the easiest instructions l have seen, this lady is wonderful. Speaks legibly, thorough, reassuring, repeats of optional methods. Would you please start to do videos where you only show joining methods. Especially the lacey ones. They are so FRIGHTENING to figure out by myself. You seem to get this all across to us, without feeling intimate by the complexity of the pattern. Please consider!

Thank you so much! I've been putting a cardigan together and so far I've tried 2 different joins and I don't like either. I've put the project aside for that reason but THIS looks more like what I'd like! I'm new to crochet and this looks easier for me since I'm having trouble counting and starting in the right place. Also the look it gives is fabulous!!!

[@hairdebi]

I just love your videos , you know how to hold your hook the right way. That’s the way all of the old ladies held Thor hooks 60 years ago when I learned to crochet. It’s hard sometimes to follow the people who hole their hooks like a butter knife. Guess I’m just getting oldLOL

[@PlayHookywithMe]

I get so happy when I hear from someone that holds their hook like me. I’ve tried the knife hold but it’s very difficult for me. I’ve heard it’s better on the joints but I’m very comfortable this way. 👏🏻👏🏻💕
