Omg you are so cute! I love watching your videos! I just started crocheting for the first time ever. I’m a 40 year old male flight attendant and was looking to develop a new craft i can practice on my layover hotels. You are not only a GREAT teacher, very detailed which helps lots of us crochet newbies, but you also have this amazing energy that keeps me motivated to learn more. Not sure if you offer online classes, like zoom classes but if you do I would love to take a class with you so I can clarify many of the doubts I have about chains to start a project vs number of stitches, types of stitches and increases and decreases, I don’t care how much, I’d love to have you as a teacher to get started. Thank you again for your videos! Keep up the amazing work. Sincerely, a Yarn 🧶 FAN
Hi Cristian! Thank you so much for watching 💗 If you're getting the hang of crochet, we've probably got a video or a series of them to help you out (8 years of them here actually!) We've got a simple set of basic videos that you might want to check out to start with here: ua-cam.com/play/PLU-tvdaf-FnfFVwIXWpeYDmReTIozN9ZF.html
I've been crocheting since I was nine years old and I had never heard of "blocking" ...I just finished a shawl pattern and it said to finish and block and I had no idea. So I googled...yours is the most fun video I have watched about blocking. I've subscribed.
my mother never blocked she hated how it made her sweaters looked, but because of your video I have learned what she was doing, ironing flat on the sweater. Now I know how to block and I will be doing it thanks!!
I am only just learning to crochet and have finished the squares for my very first blanket. I had to google 'blocking' as I had no clue what that was and found Jayda. Love your energy and that you give out a million fab facts and left me with feeling confident and also with a smile. New subscriber here, can't wait to learn more. thank you xxx
Thank you so much for this! I’ve just started a granny square blanket, and my edges kept curling. This made it so much easier to join them and just made it look more polished.
I don't crochet, I'm a knitter, but I subscribed because your smile is contagious and find your videos fun and helpful for knitting tips, as well. Thank you for making the day better, Jayda!
I just wanted to say thank you soooooo much for your tutorials. As a self taught crocheter your tutorials have been invaluable to me on my journey. I love the way you teach!!! I tend to struggle a little with reading patterns, so seeing them done visually is brilliant. I've done a couple of your baby blankets and they have both turned out beautifully. I even did a couple of your turtles and they were great as well. Looking forward to learning more and more from you. Thanks again
Thank you Victoria! If you're looking to get more comfortable with reading patterns, we have several free patterns over on our website that have companion tutorials, so you can read along with them while you watch :) You can check them out at www.jaydainstitches.com :)
Jayda InStitches hello, i am distracted by that beautiful sweater you are wearing. is there a tutorial om how to make that or a similar sweater? if no, may you PLEASE create 1 and share it with us. PLEASE AND THANKS WITH CHERRIES ON TOP
It has been 2 years ago that I bought an iron with steam option, but never know how the use it, today I blocked some granny squares and when it worked I felt so happy that blocked all my previous crocheted pieces 😃 just thank you 🤩
I have been following you for years now. And your videos are always great for a refresher course or just a quick project. Your long time crochet friend.🧶🧶
Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorial. I have just finished my first knitting project, after being away from it for 25+ years, due to illness & disability. I was originally taught when I was 5, by my grandmother, & she also taught me how to steam block my projects. Now, however, I tend to see most people talking about soaking their projects until completely wet, then letting them sit until dry. I had never done that & wondered if anyone still just used the steam iron. Then I found your video, & it has all come back to me now. The instructions were very thorough, & I even learned a couple new things, as well, such as placing distilled water into the iron. We didn't do that 50 years ago, but it does make sense. Your presentation is fantastic, & it's nice to have such a pleasant person teaching, too. Thanks so much. :)
Thanks so much for posting this video. I've never blocked any of my crocheted items, always thinking it was too much of a bother. However, this is a great way to loosen things up and make the item drape so much nicer. I just finished crocheting your table runner and my next step is to block it before I display it. Your tutorials are always so informative and easy to follow and whenever I want to learn a new stitch or how to complete a project, you are the one I turn to. Love your channel!
Thanks for this video, you are always detailed and I love understanding the why’s. I never heard of a tea towel, lol. I purchased a steamer since I’m lazy and I don’t think I’ve ironed in 20 years! I finally know what everyone is talking about blocking!
Thanks for the primer. I have a blanket to block but I definitely don't have room to get it soaking wet and lay it out for a few days to dry! Steam blocking bit by bit will probably be my road forward!
Lsutube9631 month ago... Wish I saw that then.. Jayda is such a sweetie. Her teachings are spot on. I have been crocheting for over 50 years, and I know talent when I see it.. Will say this to Lsutube9631 , It sure wouldn't hurt you to learn a bit of tenderness and happiness, and the joy of crocheting with this very talented lady. Is very rude of you to come in here and attack our Jayda!!!
Val Kiernan Good wouldn't exist without evil and people like Lsutube9631 exist to remind us of that. It's unfortunate, but this type of behavior usually stems from lack of positive reinforcement during childhood. If you were raised in a predominantly negative environment as a child, then it's befitting to seek negative attention as an adult, i.e. comment made by Lsutube9631 We do what we know... Jaydainstitches love your videos. Keep'em comin! Thank you for taking the time to make them for us.
This was great, I have been researching "best selling knitted items" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Veyillian Noncarlett Eradicator - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my buddy got amazing success with it.
I am just beginning and absolutely love your tutorials. You are easy to watch and understand. Very entertaining and very clear with your videos. I have learned a few things from watching other videos and some are helpful but you have to search to find the ones that are easy to follow with good visuals and explanations. I really love learning from your videos. I am going to attempt the sunburst blanket and now I know I should block my projects. Wish I knew that sooner :) Would've made my projects look a whole lot better! Thank you for sharing!!!
Jayda, Thank you so much. My mother showed me how to knit and crochet 50 years ago but I missed the part about blocking. Hats and scarves haven’t really needed it and the sweaters I did as a teenager mom blocked for me. I’ve discovered sock knitting and blocking is a must. This was very informative and well done on steam iron safety. Most Gratefully, Sue
Hi Jayda, I love your videos! They are so professional, informative, and you are entertaining and upbeat. Thanks for all the work you do to teach us the joy of crocheting. :-)
very cool tutorial. I hate ironing anything, but this was very interesting. I never thought about steam blocking. I might try it. Thanks for the info and safety tips
I am so glad you mentioned not to set the iron right on the yarn because I was thinking of maybe just ironing the squares to relax the curling corners, but ya, the iron probably gets hot enough to melt the yarn, that would have been a disaster!! When I was a teenager, I did melt some fabric instantly when I tried to iron a very wrinkly piece of satiny fabric that was probably plastic based. Oooops!!
Thank you for all the information and essential tips on blocking. I recently finished a scarf with lots of little pieces, All of the curled edges were driving me crazy! Your videos are the best!
Hi Jayda I love steam blocking everything.It took me a while to learn to use distilled water, Im lad you mention it..I have always finger blocked with steam, then only pinned as needed..I prefer quick blocking because it really is effective especially if knitting and sewing lots of pieces together, thank you for tips and keeping your videos bubbly!
Oh if I had just an iota of your energy I could get so much more done. Thanks for this tutorial. I have actually "ironed" my work before and as you said ended up with something flat and lifeless. I have just now completed a crocheted piece and will now block it correctly thanks to you. :-)
My experience with the newer steam irons is the instructions say do not use distilled water-use tap water or it won’t steam. I do let my tap water sit overnight or so before using in my iron so the chlorine etc evaporates. Since I’ve been doing this my current iron is lasting much longer-3 or 4 years and still working fine. Where you live and how much mineral content is in your water probably makes a difference. I do clean my steam iron as often as required. Thank you for the great crochet instructions and beautiful, useful patterns and techniques.
Hi Kay! I have used both distilled and regular tap water in my iron and I find it will steam with both, however it is generally a good idea to follow the instructions that come with a device 😁.
I had a friend once who ironed his face.... He had an iron print on his face for weeks LOL (seriously!!) He was 'checking to see if it was hot yet'....
Thank You, Jayda!!! great tutorial...I shied away from steam blocking because I "killed" the yarn and didn't like the results, following some incorrect advise...finally I can do it correctly.
I'm watching this to learn any necessary tips before I block a shawl. I have tried blocking before but I couldn't tell a difference. So hopefully this time around I'll see if things will go well.
TYFS this information Jayda. I'm working on my first BB and would love to see you do an update showing how to do this on a larger piece like the Fan Baby Blanket. TIA xx
Thanks for your tutorials! :) I've just started to crochet Granny squares and was wondering how to make the sides look better. I had never heard of blocking, but thanks to you I now know. Love your other videos as well! :)
Thanks Jayda :) I tried blocking a few squares with the steam method and they're still not straight. Is there any way I can send you a pic? Thanks Georgette :)
Lol. Jusy tried this before watching your video and flattened the bottom of my Tunisian crochet scarf. Oh well. Live and learn. At least it's only the bottom and not the whole thing lol
Hi Jay, I was looking through your playlists and noticed you don't have one specific to granny squares but I've seen a couple of your granny square videos. Would be awesome if you made a playlist for granny squares and added more designs. BTW love your videos, you're adorable. I love that in each video your always so cheery, makes me smile and sometimes forget about a bad day! Ty stay amazing!
Hi! We have a big playlist called "Granny Square and More" :) It's got all our squares plus lots of granny square related projects in it too! You can check the whole thing out here: ua-cam.com/play/PLU-tvdaf-FnceePlwDTbN7R5CEvblsNRV.html Thank you for watching!
Wow! I liked/loved your wear today... A new sub here, I find your presentation interesting, I haven't found anyone like your personality, giving tutorials with a sincere heart with a big smile, and as I/me watching can smile back 😃😉💓💜😍✌👍👏
I've been crocheting for over ten years and am about to, and very nervous to, block my first ever cardigan! Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorial (my dumbass was like eh I'll iron it it'll be fine I didnt even consider it's made of acrylic stuuuuupid!)
thank-you for this people keep saying to block my work and i didn't know how to do it, my nana never did this so it was all new to me as i have just started crochet/knitting and at my age 58 things confuse me even the patterns lol xx
Hi Barbra, blocking was a nebulous area for me when I first started too! I shied away from it myself because I was really young when I started and hot irons made me nervous, but now I love the results!
Thank you! I'm going to be starting a lapghan sampler knit along. My blocks tend to end up smaller than the swatch. I think this is going to help me quite a bit
Thank you for the tips... Gotta tell you, I just love seeing other crafters craft rooms that look just like mine! I wish I had captured images of all the ones I've seen on UA-cam and Pinterest, so I could say, see? I do NOT have too much yarn! Hahaha! Cheers, Rachel D
Thank you so much for your explanation! But I’m also really in love with your sweater....did you make this?? If so, do you have a tutorial for it?? Ha! 🤗
Thank you so much for this video!! Now I’m going to try steam blocking for the first time! I’m gonna show my finished item on my new podcast, so feel free to come check it out!!😁
ohhh my. sometimes i just look for your videos to watch so that i can hear you laugh and talk. it makes my day especially when am so down
Hi Angela, we're in crazy times...thank you for saying hello and making me smile! Stay crafty :)

Thank you so much for the tips. I didn't know that the type of water you used would make a difference but it completely makes sense now.
Hi Beatriz, if you're using a steam iron, using distilled water is the best bet because it won't clog up your iron :)
Thank you for sharing. I never have done blocking so this video was great and good safety tips.

Thank you! I'm going to be starting a lapghan sampler knit along. My blocks tend to end up smaller than the swatch. I think this is going to help me quite a bit
Love this block video!
Thank you for watching!
Many thanks Jayda, will try blocking with pins.
Thanks for the tip. I love your sweater.
I do too! Its gorgeous! :)
Thats why now i am searching and looking for a tutorial with explanation on how to block the crochet project..
Thank you for the tips... Gotta tell you, I just love seeing other crafters craft rooms that look just like mine! I wish I had captured images of all the ones I've seen on UA-cam and Pinterest, so I could say, see? I do NOT have too much yarn! Hahaha!
Cheers, Rachel D
* giggle * It's definitely my happy place!
