every time you said "idk it's not THAT good for x amount of hours" I was like what!!! this is so good for such a short amount of time and it looks soooooooo beautiful amazing job
People who do not crochet(knit)(sew)(???) have no idea how much work goes into a project, so I just want to say: WELL DONE - for this and all your other projects!
Thank you Jenna, for showing every one how much work and time goes into crochet something. People really underestimate the time a crochet or knit project takes. I hope you get well soon!
Depends on ur posture. I notice if im tryin to reach a stich then I'll notice but if I bring it to me the I won't feel anything. I used to do 12 hours a day
Hi Jenna - I hope you're feeling better. I used to live in Alaska and encourage your visit with this warning - the majority of the people I knew there decided to move to AK after visiting on vacation. That was my story as well. My recommendations depend on where you want to go and how you plan to get there. If you fly into Anchorage, you will have more thrift stores, but other than the views of Denali and whales from downtown, it's pretty much like any similar-sized city you'd find elsewhere. You could also fly into one of the smaller cities/towns (Sitka, Ketchikan, Juneau) or take a cruise ship or the Alaska Ferry to get there. If you go to only one place, I suggest Juneau. It rains a LOT (I suspect even more than where you live) but is gorgeous. If you have rain gear, bring it. Great hiking, fishing, biking. The downtown is fun to walk around and you can easily get to a glacier if that appeals to you.
A hexagon granny square cardigan would be good project to try. You just crochet two big six sided granny squares and they magically fold into a cardigan. You don't have to think and there are a few videos on it. I'm currently making a black one with baby alpaca yarn. Give it a go! This vid just showed me I probably should concentrate more to get it finished. The blanket looks great! Hope you feel better soon.🖤
Watching the twilight series whilst crocheting is very relatable. Might have been there a couple weeks ago. Also the hunger games movies have been a "pleasure "
I love it! My first crocheted blanket was a massive granny square and it’s still one of my favorite blankets ever! Definitely keep adding to it and maybe consider adding a fun border! Borders have become my favorite part of the blanket making process!
You did SO well to do that much in 24hrs! My favourite pattern for blankets is the corner to corner crochet! It is GREAT for scrap yarn and so easy! You can tweak the pattern to make it rectangle, otherwise it comes out as a perfect square. Highly recommend! I sincerely hope you are feeling better soon!!!
I think you got a lot done in 24hrs! As you said, it gets deceptively less rewarding over time since as the square grows it takes longer and longer and longer (and longer...) to do an outside edge. I'm really impressed! Feel better soon, I'm also on the antibiotics/mystery infection train right now and .... well, I'm getting a lot of knitting done, so that's a silver lining?
I want to try this challenge too! I love the way you broke the time up and didn't go a straight 24hrs. So much fun and I'm glad you didn't push yourself too hard with being sick! Great job. I love it :) About the Alaska trip, my cousin and his wife did a Alaskan cruise and then a Alaskan train tour to the Denali National Park where they stayed in a lodge and explored the park.
There are a lot of alaskan cruises which is helpful because then you can not worry about where you're gonna sleep/eat and everything is included. Then when they stop at ports they let you explore the places. Most cruises are super affordable too. Just remember to bring dramamine if you do that though so you're not seasick.
Jenna: I need to rest Also Jenna: I'm not going to rest for 24 hours Very relatable. The granny square blanket looks adorable, lovely colour combinations.
Granny square stitch doesn't feel that satisfying tho, because the bigger your blanket gets the longer you have to crochet to get to the end of the row. I'm so glad you decided to split up the 24 hrs BTW, losing sleep can wreak havoc on your immune system, so the 12 hr "shifts" is a much better idea. I think you did phenomenal on this blanket, 24 hours really isn't that long in the grand scheme of things. It takes so much time to craft things from yarn, that's why they are so satisfying and special.
Highly recommend going snorkeling in Alaska! I went for my honeymoon and honestly it was the most memorable thing we did in Alaska. Also people's faces when you say you went snorkeling in Alaska is hilarious 😂
love how it turned out!! and yay alaska! if you can, a cruise is honestly theeee BEST way to see it. the cruises are usually packed with older folks, but honestly, that's part of the fun. you usually start off in Anchorage, make tons of fun stops along the coast and then end up in Vancouver. you'll see glaciers and lots of animals - but the views are just amazing. however you end up exploring, have fun!!
Maybe you'd like making a temperature/climate blanket. It's where you choose a colour for every celsius/degree number and every day you crochet one row according to the temperature that day. Like a journal. In the end you probably have a very colourful blanky :)
I've always wanted to do a temperature blanket since discovering them through UA-cam, but living in tropical Queensland Australia, it would be 99% red, and you'd have to squint to see a thread or 2 of blue or green 😂
Your blanket is turning out nicely. Kudos to you for acknowledging your tiredness and paused for the night. It's no fun to finish something and then have to frog it back to the halfway point. Been there, done that. While watching you crochet, I crocheted 4 rows (the outer 4) on a 9" center medallion for the back of a vest I'm making. I hope this round of antibiotics does the trick for you 🌞
I love your video...yes it does go slower on the big projects made at Christmas 4 afghans.. One was super heavy.. Get well soon and take care of yourself.
I hope you feel better soon! Alaska is incredible. I did 1400 miles in 12 days staying at hostels...by myself. Visited Anchorage, wasilla, talkeetna, Denali national Park, Nanana and did the whole kenai peninsula. Ate lunch on the exit glacier, went in a whale watching tour, hiked Denali national Park, met tons of cool people, saw incredible wildlife and ate great food. It's larger than life. You'll love it.
Jack is so cute in his cloud sweater! I had cloud PJs that I wore until they were threadbare. Nice job on the blanket! Time to give your wrists a break. ❤
you are so brave to even try to do this for 24 hours straight. im a huge fan and love your videos and in fact your the reason i tried to even crochet and now i can make bookmarks since i only started. keep it up!
Honestly loved watching this because I feel like it takes me so long to crochet something because some of these people crochet so fast. I feel like 1. You did get a lot done.. and 2. It’s actually more realistic of how much you can get done.
I honestly don't expect it to be bigger than that at the 19th hour mark because I know how long it takes to crochet granny squares. If I ever did this challenge mine at the 19th hour mark would be way smaller than yours. You do such an amazing job at all of your work. You are my favourite youtuber of all time! Love you!❤😊
Not impressive for 24 hours?! As someone who has made a couple of blankets that are knit/crochet in the round: this size ist impressive! I always felt like the time you need for one round grew exponentially with the diameter of the blanket 😵💫 The yarn looks lovely. Is it all cotton? Enjoy your new blanket ❤
Alaska, you have to go on some sort of sled dog thing. We did an activity at a summer training place for the dogs and 12 dogs pull a 6 person golf cart around a mountain path. You get to see the puppies they've had during the summer and it was so fun! We ended up going back to see the start of the Iditarod race the following year and got to go on sleds with the dogs pulling at one of the homes of one of the racers. So fun!!!
I love the idea that you are coming here to Alaska. I live in Palmer, Alaska. My suggestion is to check out the Muskox farm. It would be a unique experience to knit or crochet with Muskox hair.
When you go to Alaska, definitely visit Whittier and Portage Glacier!! There are also a lot of beautiful waterfalls and trails just outside of Anchorage, along the Seward highway, and in the Girdwood area
Ps. I rots recommended your channel to a friend of mine!!! We were t thrifting yesterday, and she loves knits, and wants to get interested in knitting or crocheting!!!! I said, this lady... you... totgot me into appreciation of a good knit!! (She found the dream sweater dress) 😄 👗
Alaska is awesome! In Palmer during August the State Fair opens up and theres lots of great people, shops and delicious food- omggg. Sometimes they got crochet/ art set ups by local artists’ too! Theres also another thing in Palmer called “Friday Fling” and its basically a lil festival you can find a lot art and crochet crafts there aswell. I recommend visiting Palmer if you come up here :)!
Heyyy I’ll be in Alaska in august too ! Doing a cruise but flying in a few days early to hang out in anchorage for a bit. Went there for the first time 5 years ago and fell in love. I truly believe I will move there at some point in my life !
I'm originally from Alaska! A popular thing people do is a cruise, Kenai Fjords is a cool cruise that takes you to some glaciers and an island for dinner. If you go to Valdez, theres a cruise that will take you out also to some glaciers and you would most likely see some porpoises, sea otters, sea lions, and probably some bears around the outskirts of Valdez. More inland, there is Denali National Park! I think August would be around the end of tourist season so I think the shops might still be open - if not, it's still a fun drive to go into the park and see moose and possibly bears. On top of that, just about anywhere in AK is beautiful and cool to see, there is a hot spring outside of Fairbanks called Chena Hot Springs, ive never been to the resort or anything beyond walking around the trails and admiring the ducks, but it's a fun little drive. :) I hope you have fun with whatever you end up doing, I'd love to see/hear about your experience in a video after the trip!
Dude this blanket is HUGE for 24 hours, imo. I think blankets are so deceiving on how long we expect them to take. I just finished a blanket (besides weaving in ends) that I started in JUNE while watching this video. And it's only big enough to cover like a twin sized bed.
I lived in anchorage for a few months and I am now going back to Alaska for a contract in Soldotna. Alaska is a beautiful outdoor wonderland. You will be tempted to stay forever. Great knitting and arts culture if you know where to go. I highly recommend the Wooly Mammoth in Anchorage. Though I will say when I last visited there were talks of relocation due to some downtown development.
I made a granny square blanket roughly queen size and it took give or take 3 3 months including the time in between when I stopped working altogether. So king would take about 4-6 months depending how fast you crochet.
Cool video! Girl I'm also on my second round of antibiotics because of tooth pain so I'm in bed, knitting for hours and binging on videos and this is my way to recover my health :) happy 24h crocheting!
It’s beautiful!! You could just turn it into a wearable blanket (I think they’re called cocoons or shrugs?) if you don’t feel like continuing it as a blanket. I personally think giant granny squares are a slog… absolutely beautiful, but they take ages!!
Thanks for keeping me company. I’m trying to finish 3 Christmas afghans for my grandchildren to mail in November.♥️ And welcome to my world 💦🐕🦺🦮🐩🙄 Regarding Alaska -I went on a cruise and every single town we stopped at had a yarn store 😊
I want to try this challenge. I crochet way more than you do, so I wonder how much I would get done in that time? I love these videos you make because it truly shows others how long it takes. No matter what, you made something useful, creative, and it's the only one like it! Well done!
Yay! Love from Fairbanks! Alaska is huge and there's so much to see. So my main piece of advice is don't try to do it all in one trip. If you're headed to the interior though, I've got lots of recs. Also the Kenai Peninsula is a must.
Jenna! I had the absolute best time of my life in Alaska, its so beautiful and big and wild up there! I did a small group tour with G Adventures which I recommend if you don't want to go alone, but the route we took was amazing and would suggest lifting ideas from their two week trip there if you want to go fully solo!
Alaska is my favorite place I’ve ever gone. Beautiful, and so calming. At least when I went. Go to Juneau! Idk if you like fishing either, but there’s some killer fly fishing up there
hello my younger sister really likes watching your channel she was so excited about the news that you where going to Alaska and really wanted to comment some suggestions but she doesn’t have an account so I’m letting her use mine. Hope you enjoy your vacation. Hi I live in Alaska and I’m happy that you decided to come here for the summer here are some of the things that you might like to try 1. The Friday fling Palmer 2. colony days Palmer 3. The Alaska State fair Palmer 4. The three barons renaissance fair Anchorage 5. The Seward Sealife Center 6. The reptile expo at the Menard center 7. Salmon 8. Fruitland wasilla 9. when at the Alaska State fair you should definitely try Denali cream puffs 10. Garcias Eagle River 11. fireside books Palmer Hope you have a fun time in Alaska
Hey Jenna! I love your videos! I live in Alaska and I would highly recommend visiting Denali and hiking while you're here in the summer! Twin peaks is a beautiful hike! If you enjoy fishing and camping there's great places to do both up here to, you kind of can't go wrong where you go because everywhere will be pretty! I hope you enjoy your trip!
I love to crochet, since I retired I have more time to do more projects, I"m going to work on my first curtain with the granny square style, hope you are feeling better!
I live in Alaska and there is so much fun things you can do! If you are going to Wasilla Alaska you should go to the bute it’s a huge hill that you can climb and I have climbed it 3 times and it’s the prettiest of view!
Ok so this is my second time watching this the first it was just for time but this time I got inspired and started crocheting a granny square blanket like yours so thank you a lot for this idea
I’m not sure if it’s a thing everywhere (please let me know) but where I live everyone takes a blanket into the movie theater. This would be the perfect blanket for that. Big enough for you but not your neighbors.
Honestly, every time u mentioned feeling bad about not doing so much progress in a time period I had to think of my own blanket. I am crocheting this thing since three years. THREEE Years and it is only a 1m by 1m square with the same pattern but only squares with 5 rows and then a joining row. So you made more than the same progress that I made in three years in 24 hrs. I make the yarn myself too so that needs some time but I just want to tell everybody that we should only share progress for ourselves and not compare to one and another. Love the vid tho
@@jozelynnnitz4504 I just use the raw wool (either sheep or the dog hair, since I live in a city now and do not come by sheep that regularly), wash it with some shampoo and then I have a spinning wheel. I needed some practice to get the yarn how I wanted it to. There are many videos tho on how to make yarn by yourself. Sometimes I need to use large brushes if the wool is not so ice and fluffy. It makes the process easier too.
Omg, I went to alaska a few summers ago and it was a great experince. I would recommend going on a glacier rafting experence and a train ride if you can.
Oh my goodness! Your coming to Alaska!!! Cool my advice as I live in Alaska is to got out of Anchorage. Ride the train to Seward and take a fjord cruise. Got to Denali catch the bus into the park. Sadly you can’t go back mile 20 ish as the road is to unsafe. If you need anything let me know.

my exact thoughts ☠️ especially as it got bigger - all of these stitches and she did that within 24hours! that's actually incredible,
nobody said crochet was fast but it is pretty .Be proud of what you made.Size isn't everything lol
People who do not crochet(knit)(sew)(???) have no idea how much work goes into a project, so I just want to say: WELL DONE - for this and all your other projects!

Thank you Jenna, for showing every one how much work and time goes into crochet something. People really underestimate the time a crochet or knit project takes. I hope you get well soon!
Crocheting for 24h is hard, your wrist must hurt so much!
My tendons as well. Hella inflamed 3h in
forreal like my hands, back and wrists hurts after 3/4 hours
Depends on ur posture. I notice if im tryin to reach a stich then I'll notice but if I bring it to me the I won't feel anything. I used to do 12 hours a day

maybe the most helpful comment I've ever read on youtube
I wanna go now
Im from Ketchikan! it rains about 14 feet a year on the island, so i definitely agree- rain gear is MOST definitely a must in southeast!
I lived in Alaska for 40 years. As I got older, the long dark winters wore me out and I moved south.
Juneau has a fudge store, too. I'm partial to the one with pecans.
This is so impressive, you really did heaps. Forty hours of crochet only got me an itty bitty tube top, so I'd count this blanket a huge success.
I still can't get over it how good your Lego table looks 😍
A hexagon granny square cardigan would be good project to try. You just crochet two big six sided granny squares and they magically fold into a cardigan.

alpaca is the best! so expensive though
I also thought of the hexagon cardigan 😂also it’s probably going to be my next project after finishing a blanket
Oh wow, I'm so going to make one after I'm done crocheting a basket 😊
I’m currently crocheting a hexagon cardigan too! I do have to say that it’s taking longer than I expected to work up but its been fun!!
@@lizw5587 Yes it is! But I really wanted to make it out of something luxurious that I'd cherish. It feels lovely but the skeins are adding up.🙈
Watching the twilight series whilst crocheting is very relatable. Might have been there a couple weeks ago. Also the hunger games movies have been a "pleasure "
@The Flexiloquent Frog I seriously kinda forgot how sad and deeply unsettling the movies are
I LOVE the Hunger Games but it’s so traumatizing :(

Yay! Love from Fairbanks! Alaska is huge and there's so much to see. So my main piece of advice is don't try to do it all in one trip. If you're headed to the interior though, I've got lots of recs. Also the Kenai Peninsula is a must.
Jenna! I had the absolute best time of my life in Alaska, its so beautiful and big and wild up there! I did a small group tour with G Adventures which I recommend if you don't want to go alone, but the route we took was amazing and would suggest lifting ideas from their two week trip there if you want to go fully solo!
I live in Alaska....since you're going in August I HIGHLY recommend the Alaska state fair in palmer. You'll love it
Alaska is my favorite place I’ve ever gone. Beautiful, and so calming. At least when I went. Go to Juneau! Idk if you like fishing either, but there’s some killer fly fishing up there
hello my younger sister really likes watching your channel she was so excited about the news that you where going to Alaska and really wanted to comment some suggestions but she doesn’t have an account so I’m letting her use mine. Hope you enjoy your vacation.

3. The Alaska State fair Palmer
4. The three barons renaissance fair Anchorage
5. The Seward Sealife Center

10. Garcias Eagle River

Most useful sponsor pitch. Usually it’s some lame app or supplements. But waterproof shoes - legend
Hey Jenna! I love your videos! I live in Alaska and I would highly recommend visiting Denali and hiking while you're here in the summer! Twin peaks is a beautiful hike! If you enjoy fishing and camping there's great places to do both up here to, you kind of can't go wrong where you go because everywhere will be pretty! I hope you enjoy your trip!
I love to crochet, since I retired I have more time to do more projects, I"m going to work on my first curtain with the granny square style, hope you are feeling better!
I live in Alaska and there is so much fun things you can do! If you are going to Wasilla Alaska you should go to the bute it’s a huge hill that you can climb and I have climbed it 3 times and it’s the prettiest of view!
I’m so glad you rested. You have to take care of yourself!!
Yes! I like how go your blanket with all your duties and still creative. God job!👍
Ok so this is my second time watching this the first it was just for time but this time I got inspired and started crocheting a granny square blanket like yours so thank you a lot for this idea
You are so funny...without even trying....thanks for the uplift...😊❤
You inspire me to crochet, you are sooooo funny/kind AND you make the most amazing videos ❤
I put twilight on when I craft too because I've seen it so many times so I'm glad to sew I'm not the only one haha
Your blanket is absolutely beautiful. Love the colors and how great they look altogether. Expert work. You are very talented.
YES ANOTHER TWILIGHT CROCHET GIRLY I LOVE TWILIGHT I LOVE WATCHING IT WHEN I CROCHET!!!!
I’m not sure if it’s a thing everywhere (please let me know) but where I live everyone takes a blanket into the movie theater. This would be the perfect blanket for that. Big enough for you but not your neighbors.
Honestly, every time u mentioned feeling bad about not doing so much progress in a time period I had to think of my own blanket. I am crocheting this thing since three years. THREEE Years and it is only a 1m by 1m square with the same pattern but only squares with 5 rows and then a joining row. So you made more than the same progress that I made in three years in 24 hrs. I make the yarn myself too so that needs some time but I just want to tell everybody that we should only share progress for ourselves and not compare to one and another. Love the vid tho
You make your own yarn? That’s so cool! What kind of products do you use when creating yarn?
@@jozelynnnitz4504 I just use the raw wool (either sheep or the dog hair, since I live in a city now and do not come by sheep that regularly), wash it with some shampoo and then I have a spinning wheel. I needed some practice to get the yarn how I wanted it to. There are many videos tho on how to make yarn by yourself. Sometimes I need to use large brushes if the wool is not so ice and fluffy. It makes the process easier too.
I really hope you feel better soon, Jenna. *Virtual hugs* I know nothing about Alaska other than the Cullens used to live there.
Ur doing so great!! Still recovering from ur illness but here u are making content! Proud of u❤️❤️❤️
Your blanket looks really pretty! How do you figure out how much yarn you need for the rows?
Feel better soon!!
I feel so cozy every time I watch your videos. Thank you!
Make it big enough. Don’t stop if it’s not big enough💜
Omg I watched this video so many times and I alway laugh at the part we’re jack did his thing😂
i love the twilight series commentary. i too have watched that while i've worked recently :P
Amazing blanket ❤️
I hope you are feeling better now and taking care of yourself
Omg, I went to alaska a few summers ago and it was a great experince. I would recommend going on a glacier rafting experence and a train ride if you can.
Oh my goodness! Your coming to Alaska!!! Cool my advice as I live in Alaska is to got out of Anchorage. Ride the train to Seward and take a fjord cruise. Got to Denali catch the bus into the park. Sadly you can’t go back mile 20 ish as the road is to unsafe. If you need anything let me know.
I’ve fallen in love with lil Jack bless him he’s so sad how dare you betray lil Jack by putting clothes on him 😂😂
That’s impressive ❤ sometimes your hands get tired and things happen be proud of what you accomplished! Looks beautiful! 🎉
Thanks for keeping it real and looking after yourself on this one by taking breaks and actually sleeping!!
I think Vessi needs to add a Waterproof Comforter to their line! 😅
Well done in your project! Looks great!
This video makes me excited to move out of my dorm! So I can actually have space the space to put my sewing machine and all my art stuff!
Work definitely slows down once you hit a certain mark. If you make it as wide as you like, continue on on just one side of the blanket.
I NEED to know where you got your couch. This is my first time seeing one of your videos and i INSTANTLY fell in love with it.
Ok I flipping love eclipse it is so good in my opinion
this was so pretty! I'm inspired and want to make a similar blanket now lol You did a great job!
