That my dear is the most beautiful granny square blanket I have ever seen. My grandmother taught me when I was five and I am almost sixty and I have to say you did an awesome job... I love the colors you chose. Just beautiful...
I'm not an expert, but I've seen blankets less well made win prizes at a country fair. Those colors are exquisite together and that is one beautiful blanket.
I have been crocheting now for about 55 years & never was fond of the grannie square pattern even though I have crocheted it once in awhile but sweet lady your work & color palette has inspired this senior lady.😉 Beautiful afghan❤
Fantastic job. It is a show stopper. The sage green border is a perfect choice. I would add another two rows, maybe doing a cross stitch pattern. But, it is beautiful like it is.
Hi, 🤗, There, You have to admit... Through All of your ordeal with sewing this Lovely Granny Square Blanket together....Your Lovely CAT is still by your side. 👍👍👍. He or She made me laugh, when it was running all under the Blanket & then pops up & out. Your expression was sooo funny, too. I wish I still had All my Cats with me. I Started with 10 then it went down to 8. And now it's 0. Cause, they All eventually went up to Heaven & are giving God & Jesus a lot of fun Laughs, now. So, Please, I know you dearly Love your Cat. But, it's just wanting a little attention at that moment. And you were busy at the time. "It's better to have 1 then....NONE". I DO MISS, All My Cats. Blessings to you & your Cat. 🙏. Sincerely, Elsa R. 64 yrs. young/old woman. From out in California. (I Crochet; Hand Knitting; Flatbed Knitting Machine; Embroidery; Sew by Hand; Plus, by Machine; & Needlepoint, too). So, I do my share of Crafts. That I Dearly Love, too. Take it easy when you have to put those square together. I know it's Time Consuming but in the end...Your blanket will be well, Loved & used. 🙄🤔👍👍👍👋. Stay Safe 😷. (Time: 6:13 am)....👋
Thank you so much 💕 your thoughtful comment means a lot! Unfortunately cats don’t get to live as long of lives as we’d hope but that just means we get to love so many different cats in our lifetime! My cats name is little duck and he definitely requires lot of belly pets and attention 😊
Bianca I crochet since I was 7, I am 50 now. I use my hands differently when crocheting, I never get blisters. Anyways, I adore your blanket, it’s gorgeous!!!! Thank you for the great video ❤
12:50 girl, I don’t know if the example you showed us here is the way you crochet 100% of the time, but if it is, that is the reason your hand cramps,every single time you finish a granny square. You can use one or more of your fingers on your working hand to stabilize the yarn that’s on your hook, so you don’t have to move your wrist around nearly as much in order to keep it there.
@Biancamakesit I learned to crochet from my grandma, so it's hard to explain. But from what I remember, Bella Coco had a video on her crochet channel about how to hold the hook and yarn ergonomically
I made a full size sunflower granny square blanket last year and got SO tired of making all the small squares! Next time I make something with granny squares I'm going with much larger squares which equals much less work joining them. I crocheted mine together instead of sewing them together but it wasn't any easier. I don't think there's really an easy way to do it...joining granny squares is a pain either way, especially trying to find a comfy position to do so. Your blanket turned out very pretty though! I'd say the discomfort was worth it 😘😀
Those colors are everything and have me excited for fall. I love watching true crime too. I follow Law and Crime you tube channel and watch live trials. I also enjoy watching Pretty Lies and Alibis. The Lawyer You Know is a great channel too. Happy crocheting. ❤
Thank you! I agree, I’ve also learned that I should readjust my hand position when I’m holding the hook… that’s probably why I kept getting blisters on my fingers 😁
I’m making a baby blanket w 25 granny squares and I literally hate myself now that it’s time to sew them 😝 I can’t imagine the patience this project took but omg it’s incredible !!!! 😍
I'm so glad I found your channel. I've been crocheting for 40 years and all I do is granny squares, usually 1 big granny square baby blankets with a ruffle border. But, your blanket is absolutely gorgeous and looks so beautiful on your bed. Great job!
I would like to thank you for showing me a method which I didn't think of with my laptop. I was always using it as a desktop, but now I will try to incorporate it in my daily activities so it will be fun!!!
Love your kitty. Love your afghan. It came out amazing. I started getting the rolled organic oats at Sprouts in the bulk section and it’s so much cheaper. Really enjoyed this video.
Absolutely beautiful! Kudos to you! Love your colour combination! I've crocheted a few blankets and know what it takes! You'll have lots of pleasure treasuring this!
Beautiful blanket. All that work I know your tired of crocheting that blanket but you should put another row on for border, it will give it a much cleaner and complete finished look:)
I love this color pallet so much!!! Also your content feels very understood and realized! I love your confidence and your editing skills are wonderful! Keep it up!!!
Hello I am new to yoir channel and I have tonsay I LOVE THIS BLANKET 😮❤ The colors go beautifully with each other and keeping the border simple will not take away from squares. I have been wanting to make one for years but haven't. Seeing your finished blanket has made me decide to finally do one. Do you have a pattern for the squares? Thank you for sharing ❤️
What a pretty color combo! Lovely blanket. For uh, youtube true crime I highly recommend The Casual Criminalist. He's got professional writers that do all the research and write the scripts and they cover all manner of crimes and its just very fun and informative.
I’ve just seen this video now. Have you tried ergonomic hooks - something with padding - it definitely helps with hand cramping. I taught myself to hold the hook like a knife rather than a pencil in order to use them. Made a big difference. Clover Amour are my favourites. Susan Bates has ergonomic ones too, or you might be able to buy a foam thingy to slip on the hook you already have. It’s a beautiful blanket!
I make blanket for people with their favorite color and inspired by the next generation on my own style and patterns that are very unique and a great idea for the best of all the way to make it to your own ideas and to be a positive product that is a very appealing gift to be able to make something for the purpose of the enjoyment and to be able to see what I want and to reproduce it as art and the love of the real want is what I am doing and really enjoying it is handmade and will never be reproduce is a important part of what I am doing to help people see what they can do and what is happening with their interests in being able to make something for themselves is something they have not done and they are willing to learn to make something out and thats another opportunity for a great craft fashionable and unique is the best way to show case different ideas for an opportunity unique
I could so relate to one of the first things you said in this video because I said something very similar last night ... "I need 110 hexagons and I need to make 4 more." lol Yep now I get to start putting them all together. Anyway, your blanket is beautiful.
Your channel is new to me but I was so impressed with your gorgeous blanket I just had to subscribe to see what else you have or will create. Great job!
I went back to the craft store so many times while I was making the granny squares so I don’t remember exactly how much it cost me, but I got all my yarn from hobby lobby and there were certain days where the yarn was 50% off so that helped a lot!
It came out really lovely. I love the colors! You should also check out Christina Randall, if you haven't already. Fellow true crime lover here and crocheter of over 36 years. yikes! Am I that old?
Hold your hook like a knife and let you yarn flow through your fingers on your other hand and you won't have cramps or blisters afterward. There are tutorials that show this. Happy crocheting.
I was thinking about the exact thing but hesitated whether to write or not..☺️ She is very young BUT the way she holds the hook and yarn can even cause carpal tunnel syndrome very soon. If she wants to keep crocheting with ease and fun, she needs to change the style. Then everything will be good🤗🥳
@@BiancamakesitI’ve been crocheting using the same hold as you for over fifty years and haven’t yet developed carpal tunnel syndrome. The trick with any hand work is simply to take an occasional break to let your hands rest. Your blanket is absolutely gorgeous!! 😊
the blanlet is gourgous, although you moght want to start holding your yarn a little different. I used to hold my yarn the exact same way and it started hurting soo bad, dont want that to happen to you! try letting the yarn pass over the top of your finger.

Amazing. Do you block the individual squares before joining them all up ? Thanks x
I didn’t, but I will for my next project!
Очень красиво получилось 👍👏💐🌈
Thanks for the video (and the heads up about 10 to life) ❤❤❤
Thank you! And of course 😊
Hello! I found you and i want to congratulate you for that wonderful blanket!❤😊
Hi! I’m glad you found me, thank you!
I love what you made i love your cat great video
Thank you so much 😊
beautiful!!! 🤩
Thank you!!
Hi, love the blanket you made! The colors are beautiful, I was wondering what yarn and colors you used?
Hi! I used the Yarn Bee Pearlspun low pill fiber yarn in the colors: matcha Mondays, moss, citrine dream, rust, pale taupe, and pearl :)
Thank you so much! Really appreciate your help.
Awesome job 😊
Thank you! 😄

Thank you!! And I’ve been watching her channel for awhile! I can quote her intro almost word for word 😂
What yarn did you use? I'm thinking about making my mom a blanket for christmas but idk if my yarn is the right size
I used the pearl spun low pilling fiber from yarn bee
Wow we arw so similar i sew and crochet....and i watch true crime stuff while doing them😮❤We also both love cats
Love thisss!!!! 😊😊 so happy to find like-minded people on here 💕
Make border one rolls of each color ❤
That’s a good idea!!
Hold your hook like a knife and let you yarn flow through your fingers on your other hand and you won't have cramps or blisters afterward. There are tutorials that show this. Happy crocheting.

Did you sew in the ends at the end of each square?
Oh my gosh it’s so beautiful!! Could you tell me what the weight of the yarn is please? You’ve inspired me! 🥰
This is the yarn bee pearlspun low pill fiber and it says the weight is 4 medium :)
@@Biancamakesit thank you! 😊
@@BiancamakesitYou have inspired me! May I ask how many y balls of each color you used approximately! So lovely and you are beautiful!
