Good afternoon Christina, perfect!! The blanket looks so lovely. I think you selected a perfect spot for using it. I think the finger knit/crochet is better, I am sure the thick rochet needle will give me some difficulty in holding it. It is such a pleasure to see you at work, you just have so much patience and perseverance. You are very encouraging as well, just a quiet determination to get the project finished but also to enjoy whilst working away. Hopefully you take a break and enjoy a delicious coffee or a rumble with those energetic hairy babies. The video was most enjoyable, there is always so much to learn from your videos. Do take care, enjoy a peaceful Saturday afternoon and keep cosy. Many blessings, kind regards. Elize.

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Thank you so much Elize!!!! Glad you liked it! Yes the finger crochet method is easier on the hands!! ❤️🙏🎨

[@cristinamckenzie2861]

This is so helpful. This is my third time watching. I started hand crocheting a blanket as a test and have been working on it. I realized today I haven’t done the extra crochet at the end and I think it’s also a little tight. Food to finish this little tester then try again. Thank you so much!!

[@donnabamber7303]

Loved this one. I started finger knitting chunky blankets but have been wanting to learn finger crochet as an alternative, to make looser blankets and experience with some 6 weight yarns. Could you possibly do an additional video on finger crocheting the double and triple stitch? Those may be the wrong terms, I’ve heard there are American terms and British, there is a Half Double as well? Anyway I’d be thrilled if you would. No one else has done it. Thank you!

[@sarahlewis201]

My blanket feels really heavy, almost like it should be a mattress pad. I'm about half way through. Does this sound right?

[@nwillis259]

Would it be possible to get an image that shows all of your chunky blankets side-by-side so that we can compare the patterns and that includes the fingernails too? No I would find that really helpful when deciding which one I would like to do!😊

[@cindyconlisk1062]

Love the look of these throws, but I just can't get it. I made several of your finger knitted ones. They came out beautiful and knitted up fast.

[@olusolabomidelano5011]

Been interested in crocheting was wondering where I can get that chunky needle pls. It makes everything easy.

[@verna0072001]

How many rolls of yarn do you use? How many weights does each one?

[@powellinaALDAY]

Your video has been the most helpful one I’ve ever seen in my three years of crocheting.

[@carieannasecondlife]

So the way you started the blanket looks different than yhe way the blanket ends. I mean the first row and last row of the blanket look different. I know how to do it but is there a way to make the end of the blanket when it’s done this way look the same as yeh first row that was made or a way to bind off the blanket? I made a blanket in thsi way and was just wondering if just letting it nd like that was ok? Thanks for any help anyone can give me. I’m trying to make both the first and last row look the same.

[@cynthiahillian]

Any clue how much this brisket would weigh? I want to make a weighted blanket using a Tunisian stitch.....

[@mon2dan]

Hi again, @TheReclaimedHeirloom, it's Candy in Huntsville, Al, so I started this blanket using my hands and I wish I could send you a picture! It's coming out very nice, but I have a question- is your blanket a bit heavy , I'm 6 skeins in and it does feel heavy- I'm using the Yarn Bee Chunky Knit because it's what I have and figure I would use it up, is this ok? Does the blanket gets heavier being a 5ft x5ft? I'm not complaining, but more just wondering if it's ok with the yarn I'm using? LOL Thank you so much for your wonderful videos!!! I cant wait to do more!!! Thank you Candy

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Hi Candy, So glad you’re making the giant chunky blanket! I have used the “Yarn Bee” from hubby lobby and used 6 skeins for a large size and you are absolutely correct that it’s not as heavy when I compare it to the “Bernat Big Blanket” yarn. The yarn size is about the same size. I think to answer your question, it should get heavier with a more skeins. This XL chunky blanket would feel lighter if I used 6 skeins regardless of yarn brand. So I personally think if you add 3-4 more you definitely feel more weight and heavier with all the softness!! ♥️♥️♥️ I used 10 skeins for the blanket in the video. Let me know if you do go for more skeins and keep me posted on what you think for weight! It already sounds beautiful 🤩 Chunky knits and other large size yarns are so much fun to work with! It’s a great way to learn and very therapeutic 🤗

Hi Ana! It takes time to get used to the loop sizes, next time try a few rows first to get the hang of the loop size if its too tight just unravel and start again. This has happend to me when I first started out! ❤️🙏🎨

Thank you very much for a simplified video for how to crochet with a hook a x chunky yarn. I have been crocheting for 50+ years, often I get people asking me to teach them how, I always suggest going to KZbin for how-to videos. Now I know I can suggest your channel foe ease of understanding how. The biggest challenge for me here is the price of yarns. Because I live on an Island, everything is imported. ❤
