My favorite ways to use scrap yarn is making a scrap yarn blanket. Literally just make one gigantic granny square. Sometimes I change the color every round and sometimes I make what I call a chaotic blanket. When I do a chaotic blanket I literally just use my yarn until it runs out, then I tie in another color, or sometimes even type of yarn, and keep going. They turn out so colorful and wonderful.
I also started crocheting in 2023. I bought an amigurumi kit from Joann’s on a complete whim. And I ended up becoming obsessed with crochet! I used to feel the same way about it. I never had any interest in it and I thought a lot of the stuff was ugly. But now it’s a huge part of my life and I can’t imagine not crocheting. 🖤 Great video! You did a lot for your first year!!
You are amazing and brave! I've been crocheting since I took a class in 2000 and I JUST started making cardigans! Crochet is the best hobby/skill ever, next to sewing. So weewaxing!! Good job! I predict you will go far in life.
We actually started around the same time which I think is really cool! I technically started sooner like 3 years ago, but I was younger and lacked patience. The only thing I crocheted was a butterfly and a heart and some chains lol. Now I can concur that it is now my full-blown addiction, and I will be doing it for the rest of my life.
So glad UA-cam recommended your channel to me. I once tried crocheting and didn't like it and got frustrated. Your video was very inspiring. Take care!
I knit and I learned to crochet just so I can make a snake with all my scrap yarn and now I have a snake scarf that I can easily enough add to in the future
GREAT PIECES! I just started crocheting and my first gift is going to be a blanket in a week! 😂❤❤❤Also would LOVE TO SEE A TUTORIAL OF THE BEADED HEAD BAND!
How cute! I didn’t get it well I guess… did you start in January 2023??? Because if u did! U are a wonder! Everything very beautiful! I’ve learned it when I was about 4or 5 with Grandma! Never did a thing again! But I guess as they say once u learn it u. Ever forget it! True!!! I started again over the pandemic with amigurumi!( It was hard) but that was the jump for me! Learned a lot since than and I thank everyone in UA-cam for all the tutorials! And now??? I’m addicted! 😂
If you first make a gauge swatch, which is a small rectangle with the respective stitches (in the case of the blanket, this would be a mini version of the blanket ;) ), then you can measure it and calculate how many chain stitches you need to make for the first row of your project to have the desired size. This will help you avoid the problem of your project suddenly becoming much larger or smaller than you thought. :)
I went straight in with a hat 2 months ago never crotched before, mine isn't straight either 😂 but my little boy loves it and uses it when he works with horses so it's getting some wear 😂
I love your videos 💚 I just found you but I’m hooked *drum noises*🤣 , I’m also having the same problem with gauge!!! I have been crocheting consistently about 11 months or so and I can make any stuffie but a beanie or top? Nope 😭 I’m trying so hard and I can’t figure it out. I have watched so many videos. Would also love love!! A tutorial on the granny square bag!! It’s so cute 💚
Maybe take two pictures, one for closeup details of the pattern and the other the whole thing draped on a couch or something. And take them under direct sun like how those bougie ~aesthetic~ instagramers do it
highly recommend looking into the history and ethics of hobby lobby! edit: also next time can you please just clip the mic to your shirt? the audio on this video was irritating to listen to because you kept hitting the mic.
I have no where else to buy yarn that isn’t walmart, do you have any suggestions on where has a large selection of yarn this isn’t in the wrong ethically.
I don’t know how you had the patience to finish one blanket let alone 4 Omg
Tbh its rough I just love blankets 😭

Yes it was earlier this year! I never learned as a kid and just watched UA-cam videos!
I too am obsessed with buttons
girl your editing made this so enjoyable 😌😌😌
Thank you so much!
have you been crocheting full-time? i can’t believe you cranked out so many humongous projects in 9 months!!! i could never 🫣
No I just got addicted lol
@@OliveCrochet beyond impressive!
Blue star crochet may help you with getting wearables the right size..... she currently has a cardigan CAL
I started a temperature blanket and gave up on Feb 19 🤣🤣🤣 I kept telling myself I'd pick it up again but omg
I feel that! I wanted to do a mood blanket but didn't want to plan it out
This video was so cute ! I really loved the lined bag you showed at 9:10 , how did you learn how to do it ? :)
Would love a tutorial on the beaded bandana!!

Yes, I resisted making gauge swatches and it's mandatory for success. Especially for wearables. I always end up going down a hook size or two.
Ah yes the ol gauge swatch. I really need to start making those
Love this vid, and your monstera earrings!
thank you!! They're from Marshalls I believe
Technically you can use the scraps to make anything, you just have to sort the weights of the yarn and try to put colors that look decent together
I went straight in with a hat 2 months ago never crotched before, mine isn't straight either 😂 but my little boy loves it and uses it when he works with horses so it's getting some wear 😂
Aww thats super sweet
I'd like to see a tutorial for the mushroom cardigan! Super cute!
The video is out now!
