      I'd like to join, but with a smaller blanket at the end. I did that with last years calender blanket too. Mine got the size of a tablerunner/pet blanket.
      Is there a specific amount of stitches I need for this one? Can I do half of the stitches? And how many rows do I have to do then?

    I have put down my crocheting for 5 years to raise a child that needs undivided attention and work a full time job! Now I’ve retired from work and my child isn’t so demanding of my time for he has discovered friends exist outside of just mom and dad!
    So i went to you tube to learn to make “something” to crotchet. I found the mile a minute 2021 calendar afghan by this Jayda lady! It looked like alot of fun to learn so many stitches!
    So i watched the tutorials by this Jayda lady and was completely wowed by what a great teacher she is!
    So i had to see some more of her tutorials and was completely hooked on Jayda!
    Jayda you are a spectacular teacher! So wonderful with the camera use, so that i can see your work very close and you speak very clearly with only enough repeatidness so that i can understand the point of the stitch.
    Really Jayda your the Greatest teacher. I’m hooked on you!
    Thank you so much for your time and attention to teach me and others.
    You are very appreciated by me!

    Using an online company, I made a crocheted Sampler Afghan last year using a monthly kit program. I really enjoyed that and love the afghan. During last year I ordered another afghan kit from the same company, this time I received 10 skeins of yarn (each a different color) all at the same time. However, the separately ordered pattern for the Tunisian Sampler never arrived. When I saw your 2022 Totally Tunisian Calendar Blanket I began immediately. I have so much yarn on these huge skeins that I have made 4 blocks for January. Each in a different color. I plan to do the same for each month. Hopefully I will have completed 4 different blankets by the end of the year. I am also hoping to learn the stitches well enough for my old brain to remember them, too!
    Thank you for all the wonderful videos and patterns you provide. You are an excellent teacher and designer. Such a talented young woman. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, Peggy

    I taught myself how to Tunisian crochet a few months ago after wanting to learn for years. I have to say I didn’t really love it . I only made a few coasters and never made anything else. I had no desire to make a blanket or anything. I watched this video this morning. I was so excited to see the new calendar blanket. Kinda disappointed that it was Tunisian crochet. I made the 2021 calendar blanket and it was so much fun. I thought about it all day and I’m making this one!!!

    I watched this video about 2 weeks ago and was determined to have a try at Tunisian crochet. A friend of mine does it and I was very impressed. I sent for long Tunisian crochet hooks from Amazon (a whole set and very reasonable price) They came yesterday and I put on this video again and started. I am thrilled with the result. I love to try new skills and apart from wanting to tuck the long hook under my arm ( my Grandma taught me to knit and always had the right hand needle under her arm, so I knit this way too) I got on well. I have developed carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands and this I have found is easier on my hands than knitting. I am trying to keep my hands supple and working. So thanks for the inspiration and the super clear instructions. Best wishes from the Lancashire in the North west of England.

I am already using a larger hook but was still too tight with my tension. By Jove! I think I've got it! You are a marvelous teacher, but experience is the best! Thank you for the tutorials that I constantly go back to! I made my own little pattern cards, but seeing you make them is tons better than my own written patterns. Hoorah for you!

    Tunisian crochet! Whoo hoo! It's been simply ages since I have pulled out my afghan hook. Thank you Jayda and Mr. In Stitches.

    Thank you Jayda. As ever, your tutorials are really easy to follow. It's fun to learn a new style of crochet. I found the curling up irritating so while I was working on the square, I put a few quilt clips along the bottom row to keep the "burrito" out of the way as a temporary measure (it seems to work). After finishing the 2021 CAL, I started the Folk Art Calendar Blanket but just had to try the Tunisian crochet as soon as I saw it. I now have two crochet WIPs to add to my sewing WIPs!!

    Hey Jayda, I'm really excited about this year's calendar blanket! I've always wanted to learn Tunisian crochet. I've had these Tunisian crochet hooks forever and never used them but I'm going to make the time to learn how to use them this year. I'm really interested in seeing everyone's projects. I think it would be great if you had a gallery video at the end of the year so we could see what everyone did.

    Jayda, You are the best!!! I have followed you for at least 6 yrs now. The excitement is certainly contagious for learning to make this Tunisian blanket! I only wish I had the opportunity to sit with someone else to" double the fun and the adventure" as I follow along as a Tunisian crochet beginner. I am working up a reference notebook for myself online, of special tips provided by you as well as by some of your viewers' comments, as well as questions I will want to put to you later on in the year. It really is a special community effort and you put your heart and soul into everything you do.! As soon as my supplies arrive, I will start to enjoy every single moment of your wonderful Tunisian craft teaching. Thank you!!

Somewhere in my craft room I think I have the right kind of hook but I don't remember what size it is, so I'm going on a search mission in a few minutes. If it won't work then I guess I will do some quick online shopping!

      Have some questions. I have an afghan hook but a different size so am going to give this a try with different dimensions. I plan to measure the starting chain, then add rows until roughly a square. Will that work as long as I start with the same number of chains and same number of rows usong the same weight yarn and same hook in each month's block? Or should I wait to order your size hook and go directly by your pattern? I'm really excited about learning different Tunisian stitches. I've done the simple stitch before but it was a long time ago and from your directions, I'm not sure I was doing it right! That was before UA-cam so a really long time ago! Love your channel, and you and Mr. Institches' live videos as well as your great tutorials. I am always anxious for the next one. 💝

    @marywasser2497 2 роки тому +2

    Love Tunisian crochet, learned how to do it about 45 years ago, made my first blanket with this stitch. If you pick up your first row in the back bump of the chain you will have a bottom edge that matches the top and sides and is easier to add a border to. Also, don't worry about it curling, when you add the border and join the squares you won't see the curling. A great join is to use a puff stitch. Nice contrast to the Tunisian stitch and 3 rows between squares/rows and around gives a great finish.
