    Oh, Anja, this is absolutely beautiful! I've got one blanket I am finishing up and two that need to be put together. Should take me about a month but then, I will be ordering this colorpack and starting this lovely blanket! I love the video and pics of the pyramids and your travels. I've always wanted to visit Egypt but due to health problems, I will not be able to go. Thank you for taking me 💗💗🐰🐰💗💗

    Anja I did follow your advice using a 3.5 crochet hook. No rippling and the fabric is resting flat. It’s lovely . I’m on row 3 v stitch in gold. I really love it. Giza 1 and 2 going well.

    So far, so good on this beautiful blanket. I do have a question though. Does the chain one, double crochet into same stitch, at the beginning of the row, count as a stitch. So when we double crochet into the last stitch of the row, you use that one. Hope that makes sense 🥴

    Hi Anja what a beautiful Blanket and the Sort of the different Stitches are fantastic also the colors. I am so amazed that this will my next Project that i make because its to georgous to do it not🙈🙈
    Now i have a little question can i make this also for a double size bed and how many chains must i take about.
    You take Wendy yarn in the Videos, but if i will make it in stylecraft what are here the colors that i must take i am now a little bit confused because some colors in Wendy are different in stylecraft 🙃🙃
    I hope you answer back and thanks for now. You make a great Job, Your channel is like a great family and its so fun to Look the Sunday Live or make Your Blankets. Please Dont stop with All of that and i hope you have many ideas to make it with US here😊

    • @OpheliaTalks
      @OpheliaTalks  4 місяці тому

      Thank you for your lovely words, you will have to do a bit of detective work with the yarn colours if you want to use Stylecraft, I suggest writing down the colours in Wendy from the colour table in my blog and then taking a look at the Stylecraft range on my webshop to compare. Some do have the same names.
      For making a double bed size you will have to use the multiple I give you in week 1, I can not tell you how many chains due to many factors which include your personal tension and what hook size you will be using. But I wish you good luck, I’m sure you will do my pattern proud, Anja x

      Yes i have also the same thoughts like you, that i must be a little Miss Marple about to find the right colors for this fenomenal Project, because i will this so so emidiatly do. So than Miss Marple is on the surch on Your Website and i hope all for this Project will be going well.
      Yes i understand what you mean about a bigger size and the amount of the chains about that. Well i believe i will do a little bit of Experiments an cross my Fingers that all will doing ok.

    Anja, just regarding access to the pattern from UA-cam, when you click the link for the pattern my phone jumps to “Join the In Crowd” and invites subscribing (which I already am). However after many times going down this wormhole and still no pattern I pressed the “Not for Me” option and voila, there was the pattern. Hope this helps.

    Hi there I'm a bit late to the party. Have had my pack for months, but only now do I have a chance to make your beautiful blanket. As instructed I used a smaller hook to stop the wavy edge, however after two sets of 1 and 2 I measured the width and it's only 96 cm. Not sure what to do to rectify this. 14 cm is quite a big difference. Any advice would be much appreciated. X K

    • @OpheliaTalks
