I can not manage to get the second row going 😭😭 my brain isn’t comprehending

[@TheFerreiraFam]

Same i always get sooooo stressed with this stuff 😭😭😭😭 im still on the first slip knot thing and its been an hour or 2 😭😭😭😭😭😭 maybe i shouldn’t be doing this as someone with ADHD…

[@bluedoorbarncrochet]

Hi! Sorry for my late response! I have been having some health issues! Anyway let me see if I can help you get past this point! Would you be interested in hoping on a live and see if we can get it figured out?

[@bluedoorbarncrochet]

You can do it! ADHD is challenging, both my sons have been diagnosed! Maybe I could schedule a live for everyone to come and ask questions in real time!

[@K1TSMM]

Hellooo! So today i couldn't really do the blanket bc there wasnt that much light bc it was at the night but I'll try to do it tomorrow. So I'll edit this and tell you how it goes! BYEEE!

thank you, so much!!!

[@bluedoorbarncrochet]

My pleasure!

[@user-ni9dv1dl1o]

I have the same kind of yarn sep for it's pink white purple

[@bluedoorbarncrochet]

You should definitely try a throw!

[@janetcarter548]

are you using the middle or the top loop? Some of them show you use the middle loop that’s why I want to know it’s confusing so let me know which one you are using the top loop middle loop or the bottom everyone needs to know cause everyone show a different. Thank you.

[@bluedoorbarncrochet]

When I start my first row after the initial foundation chain I work into the top of the chain, or top of the loop. I have seen some people start into the back bump/middle loop, and that absolutely works as well, I think it is really just a personal preference. Hope that helps!

[@celesta1982]

Thank you soooo much, I’m making a blanket and this was so helpful ❤

[@yasminestarbuck3213]

How long do you need to make it for a blanket ?

[@bluedoorbarncrochet]

I make my beginning chain about 40" long and make rows until it's about 60" long.

[@calubels]

It’s hard to do the blanket for me dose the blanket take a day to make because I’m a kid so I have no patience!!! But the blanket looks great and I want one for me so.😅

[@bluedoorbarncrochet]

Lol! I can make one in just a couple hours so a day or so is definitely possible!

[@stacypettey736]

How much yarn and how chunky is it supposed to be?

[@stacypettey736]

How many do we need to chain for blanket? Will be my first try at this

[@bluedoorbarncrochet]

I actually uploaded a full tutorial with all the details!

[@bluedoorbarncrochet]

It's a jumbo #7 yarn and I use about 5 skeins of Yarn Bee Eternal Bliss for a throw

[@nicolebarnett3931]

[@traceydaniel8841]

Have you used a lumen to make these blankets?

[@bluedoorbarncrochet]

I'm not quite sure what you mean. These blankets are made with just your hands!

[@margretstrom3357]

how do u wash your blankets can they go in the washer

[@bluedoorbarncrochet]

Your yarn label should have care instructions listed on it, but typically, I wash in cold on gentle cycle and lay flat to dry.

[@jjc4128]

What size and type of yarn do I use?

[@bluedoorbarncrochet]

I use Hobby Lobby's Yarn Bee Eternal Bliss which is a #7 Jumbo yarn :)

I just got one of these but part of the middle came undone. Does anyone know how to fix it so i do not have to take it apart 😞 im not sure how to add a picture

[@bluedoorbarncrochet]

I really need to see what happened in order to give you good advice!

[@daniellerippetoe7464]

@bluedoorbarncrochet I appreciate that you could maybe help. How can I get a picture to you?

[@daniellerippetoe7464]

It won't let me add a photo on here 😞 so just tell me how to get in touch and I can take a better photo after work around 7pm eastern time 😞

You could message me on instagram:)

@@bluedoorbarncrochet sounds good. Is it the same username??

[@RachelTay-dq5mj]

Is it normal that it start curling up?

[@bluedoorbarncrochet]

You will definitely notice curling especially at the beginning but that should work itself out as you progress. Did it flatten out for you as you continued working?

[@Denise-1989]

I dont know what im doing wrong. This will be the 6th half done blanket im going to rip out! Some how it get wider as i go.

[@bluedoorbarncrochet]

Hmmmm...it will definitely get wider than the first foundation row as that row is typically tighter. I wonder if it's more than just that?

[@ivegotthis8301]

I need to do my blanket standing or sitting at my kitchen island so the entire width is flat like the video. If I try and do it on the couch I get mixed up, adding a loop at the end of each row or a loop comes undone and I don’t notice

[@bluedoorbarncrochet]

@@ivegotthis8301 I definitely prefer to sit at my table! I can't imagine what chaos would ensue if i tried to make one on the couch...lol

[@lesliekramer530]

I’ve seen videos where they flip over each row. Have you seen that.

[@bluedoorbarncrochet]

No, I have not! That would definitely change the look...could be cool.

[@sherrymantooth4987]

I need to know how to make this

[@adoculos4521]

? The video has just told you!

[@calubels]

Am I going to have to waist all my yarn to make a blanket for me?😢

I mean I would because they are soooooo cozy! Lol!

Depends on how big of a blanket you’re trying to make!

As soon as she said hey ladies I stooped the video. A little sexist

[@bluedoorbarncrochet]

This video was made specifically as a follow-up to one of my in person classes with only ladies in attendance. I was addressing them directly, and honesty didn't think it would even get other viewers. It was never meant to offend, and perhaps you could dial down your sensitivity a bit.

[@gemdoodle6450]

Ok sorry
