    This is so useful. Thank you. I taught myself to crochet 4 years ago by watching UA-cam videos. I've learned so much from you. I'm grateful. I can't chose a favorite because all your blankets are gorgeous. ❤

    I love your pyramids of yarn. And the flowers are gorgeous along with the lovely blankets.

    Thank you Anja, so many pretty colours in this video from pretty flowers, yarn pyramids in historical locations to your gorgeous blankets. Thanks also to Layla who made a quest appearance modelling her blankets. 😄🧶🌟 I’m saving this video to my Anja videos for future reference.

    They are all so beautiful! I have a granddaughter who is "mommy" to many baby dolls, so the Layla blanket is a fun size!

    The harbor squares blanket was my first ever Ophelia talks blanket and it might be my favorite. I also really enjoyed my feather and fan blanket too

    Thank you for the comprehensive video, it was invaluable to me. So true about the approximate size of a given blanket, as I have tight tension, as I discovered, and a blanket I just finished looks smaller than the blanket of the pattern creator. I should of gone up a hook size and added more chains from the start. Live and learn. 🙂

    Thank you for this video. It is really helpful to me, as I sometimes struggle when deciding how big to make a specific blanket. The fact that you showed each blanket, along with its size in cm and inches, makes my decision making much smoother.

    Hi Anja. I don’t know what is more adorable…Layla blankets or Layla! I will, of course, bow down to the sweet cuteness of Layla. I have been following your channel for a few months now and I just love your style and your projects and stories. Thank you so much for your generous nature in sharing your talent. 😻

    I love all of the blankets. The mini/sampler blankets are a novel concept and they are super cute.
    Thanks for sharing! ❤

    I enjoy all the beautiful blankets, but I really loved the ombre play blanket, with 150 chains to make 1 meter square, in this video you said 170 chains.
    I have made so many blankets thanks to you and the yarn packs!!

    • @OpheliaTalks
      @OpheliaTalks  Рік тому

      It really depends on the yarn you're using, and your tension, plus hook size Debra, Anja x

    Thank you, Anja . This is a very comprehensive reference video, something I’ve been looking for on line, but couldn’t find anything like this. It’s particularly useful for the blankets we do using your patterns. My favourite is Lizzie blanket ( finished but not shown on your Facebook page yet) and the Enralec blanket which is still a WIP.

    I love the luxury throw size. I made my happiness blanket into 2 blankets as too long for me. I also crocheted 194 chains for width and did all the rows as instructed.

    Thank You so much for this video ❤ It is very helpful! My first blanket was Lizzie with yarn from my stash and I really enjoyed making it! I always feel so much love when I look at it🥰 I think because of the way you make the connection between the story and the blanket! You are so talented! I bought a yarn pack for the Vintage Blanket last year and I hope to start making it soon🙏

    • @OpheliaTalks

    Hi Anja, thats a great video at the perfect time. In the moment i'm starting to support a charity that crochets blankets for early born babys or little stars. They send packages to hospitals. For that I wanna crochet blankets and they have to have a special sizes (50x50cm, 60x60cm and so on). Now i can look at the different videos THANKS!
    A last question - the size includes always the border, right? Greats from germany! 🙋🏼‍♀️

    • @OpheliaTalks
      @OpheliaTalks  Рік тому

      Hello Jana, that's a wonderful way to use your crochet time. And yes, the blanket sizes do include the borders each time. Thank you for watching, Anja x

      Once you have the stitch multiple it's easy to work out how many you will need to make a blanket the size you require, I hope this will help you, thank you, Anja x

    Love your channel and designs but can you please speak a little quicker. As you speaking so slowly is not needed your speaking English and you live in England. That's the only thing that aggravates me .

      Seriously girl? Do you think by telling her, in the next video she is going to change her way of being and speak faster just for you? Your comment is superfluous seen that you can speed up the video and the talking, to your liking.

      Who the hell do you think you are. Grow up. I did not ask just for me and if you had a tiny amount of intelligence you'd know that, but you are just a bully and I will not tolerate bullying DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME QUIT BULLYING IMMEDIATELY OR I WILL CONSIDER FURTHER ACTION.

    • @OpheliaTalks

      Making videos/editing videos is very much not easy to do! Have you tried making a video? I want to exude a calmness through my videos… giving you the feeling of not being rushed…. Also not everyone watching this video is native in English… so speaking quicker would really not improve on the overall video nor on the experience of people watching…. I hope you understand!!
