i love listening to that wind chime so relaxing
I’m one of those who made granny square crochet in the late 1950 and sixteenths… we just asked anybody to give us leftovers of any yarn, couleur and texture, so I would not pay this price, I don’t mind couleurs change in the middle of a row, what I do is not professional, just fun and gifted to people who like or need it . I offer bunnies and scarves to people who freeze 🥶 in the street, it’s my joy to make these things. Thanks for sharing ❤ from us
From France ❤
I agree, I probably will not purchase this yarn because for me, granny squares are meant to be made from scraps. I love that you donate your crocheted items to people in need.❤❤❤
Jen, I noticed you beginning your squares with a short tail. Red Heart recommends a 4" tail at beginning and end. I watched another Podcaster use a ruler and his colors matched up pretty good. That said, I enjoy your yarn reviews very much, especially because you work up the yarn. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your channel.
Yes! It makes so much sense that it caused her to have to drop down a hook size or tighten up the tension, which of course, would make the square pucker. I found myself trying to tell her what to do as I watched it. 😅
I came here to say the same thing.
The yarn is beautiful, I never wanted this for squares but to make a cute quirky funky blanket. Will get it on sale for maybe a granny stripe blanket
I like that you showed this in a different way then a granny square as well, because I feel like I would use it for something other than granny squares if I got it.
I'm glad you did the corner to corner so that you could see that there is other things you could use with that with the yarn! Thanks Jennifer!
17:12 Same for me! Connecting lots of granny squares is _never_ an option. I rather make a continous granny rectangle, and would love to try these yarns to see the result.
If you're liking the color hang with doing a granny square, then you're going to love it when you knit a beanie with it! Beautiful!
Jen , I always watch your videos. I don't always comment on them , but I do enjoy watching and I learn so much from you. I am a 6 month crocheting. So I a newbie. 😊😊❤
I'm so glad someone finally went outside the granny square box! I snagged a few of these on sale and was thinking of crocheting funky stripey hats! 💚
I think these would make nice granny square hats! I’m gonna try to get a few colors ordered from Joanna cuz it’s about $6-7 a skein on their website/app. Hopefully not much for delivery lol. I do t wanna have to go pick it up cuz it’s halfway across town from me
I’m glad you showed this yarn in c2c. I can’t wait to see it knitted up. Have a great day.
I love the afghan they showed on their email. Absolutely beautiful blue and orange colors.
I haven’t seen anyone that truly likes it. But the corner to corner looks cute
The colors are beautiful
I had to go up to a 6 mm hook, no stitch between the granny clusters, and used up extra yarn by slip stitching. It’s been great and have made up one and a half skeins-worth of granny squares in two days. Totally worth it! Loving this yarn…and I DON’T like granny squares! 😂
Love all your honesty in yarn reviews ❤❤
Good afternoon Jennifer, I love the sound of your wind chimes, very relaxing to listen to. Thanks for sharing this, I’m sure I may try this as of the cost factor, I could get more for the money! Have a wonderful day! ❤️🤗
Good morning Jenn. Thanks for the review. I went back and watched Mikeys tutorial. It's worth watching. He does the granny a bit differently to make it work. He uses a chain 6 at the first, instead of chaining 3. Once this yarn hits Canada I'm sure it will be $14.99 per skein. Gotta wait for the Michael's coupons! The yarn in my scrap bin is free!! Lol. Have a great day😊
I love the stary night shawl but even more important, I love your channel!
Thank you for sharing your opinion on this yarn. The price is crazy!! I like watching you crochet 🧶. Have a good day 🤗
Hi Jen! How refreshing to see a more positive review of this new yarn! Pleased it worked better for you than it has for others! I agree the colours are pretty and yes the reduced ends are a massive plus point! Have fun playing in the future ❤
Yay! I just bought this yarn for $6.99 from Joann’s! Thanks for your demo ❤
Yes the crochet crowd has a tutorial for the granny squares out of the granny square yarn. I personally have not tried it yet but it looks like it should work. It also looked like you figured it out. The corner to corner sample looks pretty also.👍🤗
This reminds me of trying to keep tension to make the argyle design with the neon stripes. I made to afghans and had to change tension and hooks quite a bit. Thank you for the review. I've been eyeing this yarn and might give it a try. The c2c idea and hats might be neat too
The instructions say to leave a 4 inch tail. Maybe that’s why you had extra yarn in row 1 and 2? I bought my yarn from Herrshners in soft white-amethyst for 9.99.
I like the corner 2 corner sampler.
Jennifer my hands are like the way you describe yours to be. Years ago they were so bad I had to keep bandages on them because the little bumps would bleed and burn. I tried many lotions to no avail then I tried the O’Keeffe’s working hands. It healed my hands and stopped the flare I was having.
I still have issues and start using the working hands when I start noticing the issue starting to flare up again. My daughter has the same issue and recently told me the Aveeno baby eczema therapy nighttime balm works really well also. She recently had her 1st baby so found it because she uses it for the baby and noticed how it helped her hands.
My hands are like sandpaper and the nail sides are like yours and I have trouble with certain yarn too, and red heart is top of that no go list. I can not use it. I can use most wool though. And microfiber is like Velcro to my hands.
Don’t know if those lotions would help you or not but they work for me so wanted to mention it. 💕🌞
There are directions on the yarn sleeve on how to make these squares, but hard to locate because the writing is so small. It answers some of the questions you were asking.
To me it is a different pattern of granny square than what I've made myself.
Lots of people have reviews out on this yarn. I'm watching lots of them and people have also found other ways to end up with squares without running out of yarn.
I really appreciate your review and your channel. TYSM
I've not purchased this yarn yet. But i will be purchasing it when the price comes down or goes on sale
Thank you Jennifer ❤
I just bought this today for 7. A ball at Joann’s I’m very happy 😃
Our dog Dori does barks at all deliveries. Makes it nice because we live in the middle of nowhere. Lol😂
Some patterns say chain 4, join, chain 6 2 fouble crochet ssme stitch, chain 3 for corner 3 double crochet, chain 3, 3 double crochets, chain 3, 3 double crochets, chain3, join in 3rd with boye H for most i watched this worked
Also girl. Go to Sally beuty store and buy the cuticle oil is pink. It works so great my son and my self had the same problem. We went to ask for help and she told us it was great and it was. We finish half of the bottle and we never had them back.
Thanks for your comments about the blisters on your hands from yarn. I agree that RHSS is not smooth and maybe it causes my blisters. I have an auto-immune disease, too. About this yarn- it seems like too much time to worry about the colors. It is quicker to use my own colors and make squares in my choice of yarn.
I have seen other reviews but I don't remember anyone changing hooks to make it work.🤔 You did a great job with the review of this yarn. I do like the idea of granny squares and a corner to corner. It's too bad it is so expensive.
Wishing you a beautiful blessed day 🙏🏻🥰💖
Thank you for sharing your experience and video. ❤
You're so thorough you could be a scientist!
You have the patience of a saint, i wondered about gauge, now I know. Thank you so much.
❤️❤️llama momma Kayla has a good tutorial on sewing the granny squares together….very fast method
Thank you. I did go and look at her videos and that is a good, quick method.
Omg I loved in corner to corner I’m gonna make
I never realized that the yarn was causing problems on my hands until I started watching your videos. Now I have quite a few using RHSS altogether. Just another thing I have learned from watching your channel. I wonder if it’s something they put in or on the yarn that causes it, but end up with sores on my hands. Thanks Jen🦋
For me it is the roughness of that yarn.
I love the corner to corner square! I think it would be cool to do these squares and arrange them to create a chevron-ish look. 🤩💕❤️💕💖
I made a c2c and it turned out really nice 👍🏻Joann’s just had a nice sale on this yarn too ❤
Try your corners with only 1 chain instead of 2,,I would try that . and instead of the magic loop try chain 4 for the loop. Thanks for taking time to give us your opinion, Here Many Crafts are mastered by Trails and Errors . Like you. I have been there and at my old age I think its always a learning process. Ninette Bird - The Caribbean Wife.
I would just crochet as a big granny square. The c2c is adorable. 🤗🙌❣️
Thanks for trying it. Like that you tried it in a corner to corner. For me the granny square would be as much work as individual yarns. Great idea but not exactly on mark for me yet and not the greatest price yet. One huge granny would be better but not at that price and a softer yarn. Thanks so much for doing these. Huhs
Love your approach to reviews, Jen. You're always thinking 'outside the box' because that is truly the majority! 😁 Real review for real people! 😊👍🧶
Hope you're enjoying The Mouse with your family and that your ankle and hip are behaving! 🤗
Thank you so much for doing this for us. I have been wondering about this yarn. I am really surprised at the price. I guess I wasn't expecting it to be that much.
Wind chime sounds beautiful. So far your video is#3 review on this yarn. Everybody has had problems with it. Good luck.
The yarn is very pretty. I don’t make granny squares but I like the way it looks in the corner to corner. I would try the granny stripes to see how it looks. Thank you for your review. 💜🙏🏻
Thank you for doing this I have been seeing this yarn everywhere! Can you imagine this yarn making knit mitered squares? How stinking cute
LOVE the colors and how it changes in the skein.... I would love to work up scarves etc to see just how the colors would play out in different stitches/hooks- FUN yarn indeed!♥️🤗
Loved this review video. One of the things I most appreciate about your videos is that you are thorough and try different things other than what a yarn is"indeed" for. I agree the colors are very pretty and fun and yes that price point is high. I'll wait until a sale and definitely pick up a few balls because I also don't mind frogging just a small amount. Thanks for another great video. I'm currently working on another spring fling tee. That is my favorite style to and it's so easy to adjust up it down for sizing. 😊
After watching several videos where someone is struggling with that granny square yarn I said that yarn is not for me. Don't have the time or patience to watch my tension so closely on every row or be willing to frog and start over for every square.
So I'm so happy that you a stepping outside the box on this one. Knew I could depend on you for that. Thanks so much!!
Loved this video!
Thank you for sharing your experience with the RedHart yarn. I think I like the c2c best.
You're wonderful at your artistry. Thank you for sharing.
I really like it with the C2C idea, I wish I knew how to do it. Lol
Well you have answered all my questions that I had
I thought it was funny because I am crocheting granny squares with Red Heart Super Saver Stripes and Gorgeous. I am just going with the flow lol These are all left overs from projects. I was thinking I might make a funky market bag or two (I have a few balls to use lol) . Would I buy the yarn? Probably if like you said it was under 7 dollars. Those are pretty combinations. Thank you though hon on showing us how tension and hook size matters. And I really liked your corner to corner square as well. Very cool idea. Hope this finds you all well and happy
Looks like it might work well for mitered squares in knit or crochet! Because it's a matter of figuring out guage and stitch corner out and gives some flexibility in texture and design. Just put in a bit of a yarn eater for one row or the opposite.
Jen, Thank you for your honesty and for making up a C2C square.
I would buy the yarn if it was cheaper. I think it olwpuld be fun to make a blanket.
I too have issues with getting itches but from mohair and angora. Also my hands crack in winter. So I use one part Dr. Bronner mixed with three ish parts water for liquid hand soap. Seems to help.
Thanks for the review Jen. I will definitely be buying some ❤
I think i would make a rectangle granny blanket as I do love the colors
I think the yarn is beautiful, so beautiful that I bought all the colors on sale from Joann's for $5:70 a skein. I crochet tight, so I may not have a problem with having to frog it back. I will see. I like the C2C pattern. Thanks for the review. 😊
How did it go??
According to regular people😆 and Mikey the tension and following directions is of utmost importance. Some were successful after working out what hook produce proper gauge.
Regular people?
Looks like a great pooling yarn
I got mine on sale at Joanne's. I gave 7.12 for some and a little over 5 for some. I would not buy it full price but I love the colors already picked out for me. It is a challenge to work with. Mine did have the exact pattern on the label but I do not like that pattern so I used a J hook and did my normal pattern. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thanks for the video Jennifer. Have you ever thought of using paper medical tape? It will probably be a pain but the way you hold your yarn it might work. It's a lot just too be able to use this yarn. If you really like it though it could help or maybe some crafting fingerless gloves. Hope you and the family had a great New Year.
First time viewer here and I honestly don't recall how I found you or youtube just snuck you in my watch queue lol either way I'm HAPPY I found your channel and I'm looking forward to checking out your other videos!! (Also never apologize for that lovely windchime - it totally made my night more peaceful / calming) 💜
Like the C2C with it 😊. Catch it on a good sale yes. I’d buy it
I make retangles for Warm up America, using C2C & my leftovers . This granny square yarn has the same color effect that I get with a lot less ends to put in.
Thanks for doing C2C and I like it!I may make one of my grandkids would like it as a blanket extra on top of their bed as a throw.
I will be passing on this yarn. Its to frustrating! Thank you for your video!
Great with your talking us thru this! Fun video. It was fun that you tried something new! I am subscribing to your channel to see what you come up with! I went out to Joannes and bought some!❤ The Catt Lady Channel did an African flower! Cute!
I love that sound 🥰🥰🥰👏🏽 I’m sorry about the link I posted in the FB group before about this yarn. But I’m not sorry that I started the buzz in the group! 🤣🤣🤣
No worries!
Hi Jen. Of the two color ways, I prefer the pinks. Now you gave me the itch to try it 🧶🧶😉
Great yarn review, Jennifer❣️
Good morning Jen. Beautiful yarn and pricey.
I love the wind chimes.
I love it in the C2C blanket ❤ thank you for sharing 😊
I also work with the hook size recommended.
I could definitely see that working well inna scrappy corner to corner. With some complementary colors.
Really great video! Solves it for me. I’m not going to run out and purchase it but it does look cute in corner to corner. I’m not so good with tension so I’d have problems, and I don’t mind weaving in ends. However it is way cheaper than buying 5 different coloured yarns to get the same result.
They have an at Joann fabrics for 999 It's new, I'll just wait for it to go down. No hurry, thank you for sharing.
I ordered one scan of that yarn because I only liked one color but the box that they put it in 0MG! It was HUGE . And I mean huge you might have been able to get 16 or 18 skins in the box. I ordered one.
This granny square yarn is on sale atJoanns for 7.12 with coupon not sure how long sale is for today is 1/10/24. Glad you did the review
How is this yarn different from the regular red heart variegated yarn?
Thank you for making this video. You worked out all of the kinks for me.
I don’t think I would make granny squares with this yarn. The colors look pretty so I could make other projects with this yarn.❤
I love the blue and pink!! My skin does that as well around my fingernails and tips of my fingers caused by me having ocd and washing my hands so much, and I also have eczema.
Pretty colors I really think its more interesting when it's not perfect
Interesting concept if you want all your granny's the same. I prefer a stripe or variegated and every square is a suprise.surprise. I don't mind connecting as there are so many techniques to try and learn. It reminds me some what of pooling.
You are so cool . Thank you for sharing about this yarn.
I bought it at Joanna for 7.99 so I'm happy. I will make a bag with the two skeins I bought
I love the square.
Thank you Jennifer for your review.
I saw that yarn at Joann's , just a few days ago. Also, you could try wearing the thin white cotton gloves that are worn to handle things like antiques. That would be a barrier for your hands. I enjoy your videos, and all the things you share with us. Have a good day.
Also one of the directions I saw was to start by leaving a 4 inch tail, I think that might’ve made it come out even. I made one square and it did work out more or less, but it ends up not being very nice because of the quality of the synthetic yarn. And it was not very relaxing trying to make the color change in the right place. I’ll go back to the regular way of doing granny squares and just have a session of weaving in the ends in a meditative fashion.
Definately a good idea for Boggy Creek afghans.
The yarn is beautiful. Most people have a longer beginning tail to weave in. Not just one inch.
Thanks for another honest review and giving another idea of the use for this yarn. I do LOVE the C2C use on it.
Thank You Jenn for your Review. I like the colors of this yarn a lot after trying the granny square pattern out ( I did get it to work ) I decided that pattern was not for me with this yarn I am finishing up a simple V stitch afghan I will post a picture on the group page when I finish. I am looking forward to trying other patterns as well with this yarn. I like the idea of making scrap yarn items w/o all of the ends to weave in
I purchased 3 skeins from Joann’s…..it was on sale and used a 20% off coupon for order online / pick up…..paid $5.12 each. The 3 colors I chose end with black as the last round
