    I love that C2C! 😍I’m a huge fan of the C2C square blanket too. I couldn’t figure out what to make with my Rave yarn, now I know! I did just finish a rectangular C2C so that’s another option. Yay!

    I used to do long distance walking and suffered terrible leg and foot muscle pain. I got a sports message wand with interchangeable heads and a laminated chart of the muscles to hit target areas and that really helped along with stretching. I also picked up a foot roller that has water inside so you can freeze it and message your feet, both wonderful and terrible lol! Also hit up sports/medical physio vids to work out healthy routines for recovery based on your abilities while in pain because that saved me the most. Exciting vid update, thank you for sharing!

    So, I finally organized all my scrap yarn and caked up all the balls I had rolling around and had no idea what to do with some of them.
    I've never done a C2C before, and I have a lot of DK/baby yarn. Maybe I could make a lap blanket.

    Kayla,
    When I do blankets made of squares, I make up all my squares and seam them after double checking that all my ends are woven in. That way I'm not bringing a big piece with me everywhere. Just the yarn I'm working with, hook, snips and a pattern (if I'm using one) are all tucked into a grab n go project bag.
    ✌️💜🧶

    • @AltKnots
      @AltKnots  3 місяці тому +1

      Totally agree having a small square compared to the whole blanket is so much easier to travel with. Makes it seem like the project moves faster too🎃

      @@AltKnots that's for sure.
      I like to put a snipped yarn tail from each color into a piece of cardstock that I've punched holes in and written my yarn colors on so if I find myself in a store and want/or need to add colors to the project I have a little sample to compare to. 😊

      It's actually called a Boppy. It's for nursing moms and dad's having to feed and prop up babies. Got one for myself for after baby was born and my husband ended up taking it over after a couple of months because his arms were so tired of trying to hold our kid upright as she wanted to sit up but couldn't. LOL. I ended up telling him he had to share or we were getting another one, so after that he shared. Also good for anyone needing arm support. I'm shocked no one has invented a tablet/cell Boppy. If they did and included a cup holder, I'd be all over it.
