WELCOME TO MY WORLD! All things yarn and crochet

[@tdewtx]

Hi Kulie. I thought about learning to knit..... then I decided naw I like to crochet.

[@JuliesWorldCrochet]

My Grammy tried teaching me to knit every summer and it just never took the same way I enjoy crochet. Maybe one day, but it's not today. :)

Hi Julie 😬 I’ve just watched your excellent video on the hdc corner to corner blanket so came to see your first video. I totally agree about the goddess of Yarn, Crystal at BOD! Mine also since 2015. I like your genuineness and have subscribed 💜🇬🇧

I love all the patterns you've made, but especially that second to last project, the blanket. The color scheme on that was gorgeous! I personally use variegated yarn as accents to projects. For instance, I will use a multicolored pink plush yarn with a white cow to make a cupcake themed cow, or a multicolored blue/pink/purple yarn with all the same solid colors when making a mermaid tail blanket to look like scales, etc. (I've done that last one and it comes out GORGEOUS) I also personally sell my crochet and have my own business doing it right now, but I plan on making a ton of blankets to use up yarn I collected years ago and then donating tubs of them to churches in my area. Those places are always FREEZING. You could also crochet things like cancer hats or newborn hats or newborn burial hats/gowns for hospitals. That's another goal of mine!

That's lovely, there's a number of good places to donate (upcoming I'm doing a child's blanket for Project Linus). On the variegated yarn - I totally agree, I've liked it best as an accent in my pieces. I think it's a me thing, I don't have that extra-creative design eye to make variegated yarn work like I imagine in my head. Maybe as I keep improving I'll get better at that too.

@@JuliesWorldCrochet exactly! I feel like the variegated yarn makes it look too crowded.

Love the shawl and the cowl. Can you share the name of the patterns? Have a nice crafty week.

[@JuliesWorldCrochet]

I wish I could. I've lost my notes for those pieces and made them before I planned a channel. As soon as I find them I'll absolutely be sharing them and put it in the description. thanks!
