When I saw the title, I immediately thought - no frickin way. But wayyyyyy! Massive congrats. That is a huge blanket with so much time, effort, and talent in every little square. You should be so proud.
OMG TLYarnCrafts watched my video!!!!! Im such a huge fan of yours! Thank you for being my yarn muse
I agree with you 100 percent.
Hiiii I’m a big fan of both of y’all!
Congrats on THEE TLYarnCrafts commenting on your video. ❤❤ you Defintley earned it with all this work you put into this haha. So beautiful btw!
@@iheartdorks you need to answer my comments now! Or I won't believe you.
I stand up and applause you a hundred times! You are a patient, persevering young woman. This crocheted piece of art is an astronomic masterpiece and i hope it is appreciated by anyone who recognizes what an absolute treasure and heirloom this really is!!!
I bow to you for keeping on until the last square was sewn into place.
I dont know you, but i just want to tell you how proud i am of you!!!!! 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
As a crocheter for the past 50 plus years, I am impressed by you, to take on such a project can be overwhelming, it's a beautiful piece of artwork! New subscriber here! ( Kay ) Toronto, Canada.
Thank you so much!
I have been making squares just to relax and putting them in a bag with no plan ..just relaxing ]. BUT HONEY... you have inpired me and I want to thank you. after hundreds of hours of YT I can see where my daily squares is going! This is amazing... applause!
I always throw my hands up in the air like a calf roper when I finish a big project. Yours of Biblical proportions. You will be a legend for many generations. Good job!!
Wow that is Huge and gorgeous 😍 props to you for the dedication & patience 👏 I keep my scraps for filling too ❤ Your a crochet Queen 👸 ❤
900! I’m so impressed. I want to crochet a GS blanket, however I thought that the one that I want to crochet will take me a year to finish. Job well done. You should feel so proud.
I love the Join As You Go (JAYG) method. It's fast, and easy to do. Once you get the hang of it, you won't sew another granny square again.
This is impressive!! I've been working on a blanket with 99 squares for *months* (to be fair, several weeks of that was lost to waiting for more yarn and I have to do it again now lol because I'm autistic / dyslexic and math just isn't my strong suit lol), and I still have about 30 squares to go.
I've also been working on other gift projects simultaneously, so that didn't help any lol. I've been crocheting for over 20 years now (my grandmother started teaching me when I was four), but I have carpal tunnel and I can't work super quickly unfortunately.
Also, I'm not sure if anyone wants or needs the following advice about weaving in ends, but I do want to explain a misconception I noticed in the video that would help a lot of people understand why their projects don't seem as strong or why their ends start poking out pretty quickly:
Based on how you were demonstrating sewing in your ends with your squares, you are NOT weaving in your ends - you are tucking them. The main difference is the number of passes of the yarn, and how you're catching the stitches when you make each pass.
Weaving in your ends is quite literally weaving yarn back and forth through the fabric of your project so the end will not get tugged out over time. You want to weave your ends through the back of the fabric by splitting the yarn so the woven ends don't show through in the front. Make your first pass in one direction, then make your second pass in an opposing direction (you can go in a perpendicular direction, or back the way you came - if you chose the later, make sure you are catching different parts of the split threads so you don't accidentally undo your first pass). Make your third pass following the same instructions as that for your second pass. This will give you an end that is fully hidden and won't come loose over time. You can also follow a circle / triangle pattern to weave in your ends, but make sure you overlap the final pass slightly with your first.
Tucking in your ends is a method of hiding your ends that is completely valid, but you do run the risk of those ends coming loose over time (and potentially squares getting frogged in the middle of the blanket, if you don't secure the end very well).
Tucking in ends is the simple act of hiding them. You aren't splitting the yarn or weaving the yarn through your project - you're encasing your ends in a tube. This means the yarn enclosed in that tube can be easily pulled out or torn off by accident. This is not a good method of hiding ends if you are gifting or selling the piece, but otherwise there isn't a reason not to tuck your ends.
Either method you use, you should leave a tail the length of a standard crochet hook (literally just hold your yarn against your crochet hook as a measuring tool and snip). If you don't leave a long enough end, you risk breaking the yarn / needle, the project coming partially undone and not having the length of yarn to fix it (since it's hard to hold when it's too short), etc.
If you want to tuck your ends for a personal project, I'd suggest holding the yarn against your w.i.p. and crocheting around it (that way you don't have add in the extra step of tucking in your ends separately). Alternatively, with thinner yarns like it looks like you used here, you can crochet your ends into the project invisibly in a way that will *hold*. To do so, you'll want to:
Gather all of your end threads together (hypothetically, let's say you have 6).
Separate two threads, and hold those with your working yarn. The other four threads should be held against the w.i.p. - you'll crochet over them for 1 or 2 stitches.
Every ( / every other) stitch, pick up two more threads and hold them with your working yarn to crochet together until all ends are gone.
I've been doing this with my current blanket (I'm using weight 0 and weight 1 yarns only, so I'm holding quite a few together at a time and I have to switch colors semi-frequently), and this method has been a genuine life saver.
I am more than happy to clarify anything as necessary, as I know this was a bit long-winded, but I've already spent well over and hour trying to making this clearer and shorter, so at this point I'm just going to post it lol.
“if i took a photo it would be all over pinterest” i’d have a whole board dedicated to it in every angle tbh. it’s amazing!!!
You made a wonderful blanket. Next time you feel like crocheting, check out the videos on hexagon cardigans. i'm not much of a crocheter. I knit some. But 😅😅😅I started a waffle stitch hexagon cardigan. I can't even say how many times I've frogged it. But I am determined to finish it Your feat of completing your blanket has inspired me
This is incredible! So impressive that it only took you 4 months as well. :) Can't wait to see more of your crochet magic!
Omg what a patience, I couldn't do so many. Congratulations on your lovely and super pretty blanket!!!
Such a Beautiful job. I love love love the colors! I like to weave the ends as I go.
Nice work on sewing the squares together. I love all the pretty colors
I absolutely love it. Well done. You are right, your blanket should be on display. I look forward to many more videos.
My mind is blown! Bravo to you for your incredible perseverance in making this enormous and beautiful blanket. I am making my first granny square blanket, with sunburst granny squares in random colors. I have about 60 of them finished....probably about halfway. Not sure how big my blanket will be just yet. I hope I can stick with it like you did.
You can do it!! Sunburst granny squares are beautiful I'm so jealous!
🤩 What an absolute masterpiece! Stunning! Hold on to it until your last day on earth because it’s priceless. I am working on my first granny square blanket now and you’ve inspired me to do my best. Thank you ☺️
Congrats! You truly made a masterpiece! You are a champion!
I never would have survived it. I've done one granny square project and have sworn off them. I bow to you!
Bravo!! Je suis impressionnée !!
This blanket will be one of a kind, it 's just amazing and beautiful
I just started to do granny's, so I realize the work done
Bisous from France
I love this so much! I went back and watched part 1 and 2. And then I showed my husband and he watched this whole video too. 😍 you did such a good job and I really admire how you wound your own yarn together! Sustainable girly indeed. 😊
The blanket is awesome!!!! You did a great job!!!!😊
I know I'm late to this video, but for the future, especially if you're going to ply together thinner yarn the way you did in this project, get yourself some finishing needles! I discovered them through a random TikTok and they have been an absolute game changer. The eye takes up the entire needle so you can catch those shorter, slippery ends and pull them through/weave them in without wrestling a regular yarn needle.
900 squares 😳❤️👏🌟 Wonderful job! Such a beautiful blanket filled with love! It's huge, and the colors look great together 🤗
Thank you! 😊
I love everything about this. You should be impressed, this was a huge accomplishment. It's beautiful and I bet it's so nice and cozy.
I’m in love with your blanket. Good job, I’m so proud of you.
Gorgeous blanket! Well done!
Congratulations to You on your Beautiful Creation! It's Gorgeous and I know it's Warm! ❤❤❤
This is a beautiful blanket!! The patience you have is amazing 😮
You did such a great job!!! I am considering making a smaller version. ❤
Kudos to you young lady it should be in a museum loverly
I love this so much! It looks amazing and the feeling of getting to get cozy under a giant blanket you made yourself is the absolute best. 🖤
What an awesome job you've accomplished and it's beautiful. I made three which were less than a hundred each as I want a queen size for my bed but lose my drive before a hundred so it ends up as throws. You blanket is beautiful and very inspirational ❤️. Great job!
you're amazing I would never, I hate blankets to much and I have never done any blanket, I just kept thinking of all the jackets, scarfs, pullovers, bags, and pillows you could've done with these squares, I have never been so impressed.
I know me too!! The entire time i was debating just using the granny squares for other smaller projects lol!
The finished result looks AMAZING. And only 4 months?! That’s so fast omg! Congrats! ❤❤
That blanket is amazing!!! Great job!!!
Wonderful job!!
First time me watching your videos and absolutely love it !!!
Someone get this lady an award lol your so dope❤ very inspiring!
Thank you lovely!!
Omg I just found you on UA-cam and I’m already subscribed. I loved this video and I can’t wait to see what you make next!!
Thank you so much!!
it's so beautiful!! great work
This popped up in my feed and I clicked instantly! I’m going to watch the other parts because I HAVE to watch this come together. Awesome work, you should be proud not just of your skill but also your perseverance. :)
For the scraps, I saw someone use a clear, plastic-type fabric and put the scraps between that and another fabric and sew a tote bag I think. So you would be able to see all the confetti looking scraps through the clear fabric. I tried to find it so i can describe it better but I’m sure if you search around enough you could find some ideas like that.
That blanket is amazing though!
OMGGG I get what you mean and I'm now obsessed with the idea!! Im 100% gonna look for some transparent material to make a project with :O
@@iheartdorks I hope you do a video on it! I would love to see what you come up with.
Absolutely beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful!!!!
Really beautiful well done 😊 also well done with sticking with it should be a family heirloom ❤
Hey how many yarn did you use and the size of yarn? I'm starting mine in a week
Wow I commend you, I'm a beginner and I was feeling impatient with doing 80 granny squares.
You can do it! Just take your sweet time :)
Just beautiful!
This is so amazing! ❤
Omg. Great job 🎉🎉
Amazing work!
Great job 👏 ❤
Wow, you have some dedication. i could never 🤯
I am so proud of you!!! I am new crocheter and I can't get granny squares. But I so want to make a blankwt like that.
Wow. What kinda of yarn is it wool or acrylic
you did an incredible job!! did you use an app or website to generate your granny squares? i'm doing the sam concept with a purse but I can't figure put where to generate the square colors at!
Omg no! I had no idea that was even a thing!! I gotta look into it now :)
@@iheartdorks HOW DID YOU GET ALL DIFFERENT ONES?? That’s so impressive girl! Did you just write down possible color combos? I must be overthinking this 😂
Maybe pickup a box of color catchers to throw in your washing machine when your going to wash your beautiful blanket.
Just made it to 36 granny squares and I am struggling to finish the last 20!! I salute you on your accomplishment!!!! 🤩🥰😭💗
👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 ❤WOW 😃 this is AMAZING 🤩 I can’t believe how many ends you wove in 🧶 ✂️ 🪡!!!
Omg I know!! It was a struggle!
Wow so gorgeous love it ❤️
OMG! You are a bad ass! Love, love, love❤👍
what are the dimensions of the squares and the finished blanket? i’d like to make one but trying to figure out the math always ends with it being unreasonably massive
Amazing, good on you. 😊
I’m working on my first hoodie and I’m getting close but I’m on my short break now, that’s insane you did sooo many granny squares!
Amazing!!!
I weave in on my granny square ends as I make them or I would NEVER get it done🧶

Absolutely beautiful....give your self a big pat on the back. It really did not take you very long at all.

Wow!!!!!!
How many chains and rows she do for the granny squares. Answer my comment now. what's taking you so long to answer my comment.
How much chain she do for the granny squares. Your taking too long to answer my comment. Answer my comment now!
What's the girl name and where did she live. Did you answer my comment yet what is taking you so long.
Your very pretty, are you a vegan
This is incredibile
I've been crocheting simce I was 9 (now 30) and I've always loved these blankets, but have absolutely no patience. This is SO beautiful. I'm now highly considering starting one and just going slow at it like you did 🥰
Yess i absolutely recommend making a granny square blanket to any crocheter that wants one! It takes forever but its worth it! :)
just watched all 3 parts! this should have so many more views because as someone who crochets a lot, i could not imagine making 900 granny squares and sewing them all together, you have such amazing patience and this project is truly amazing!
Thank you!! Im so glad you enjoyed my mini series! It took me forever to complete :)
Your dedication to this project is astounding! Good job on finishing the blanket, it looks absolutely lovely, looking forward to seeing more projects from you ☺️🧶
Thank you! 😊
oh my lord this is gonna be a family heirloom ! this is so amazing girl you deserve so much more attention!!
Theres a wonderful sense of accomplishment that you can only get when you finish a big project like this! Congrats on achieving your goal!😊 About three winters back i adapted a quilters grannys garden pattern to crochet and made 551 six sided motifs to use up my scrap. The finished afghan fits my 3/4 bed and the motifs range from spring flowers at the top to the darkest fall flowers at the bottom with all the green leaves represented around them. Every night i get that same feeling of accomplishment as i cozy up for sleep with my "garden" 😊 you deserve a blue ribbon for yours, its beautiful. Heres a hint: stack your colors by last round then work all horizontals first, placing the first two then contnuing with the next two directly to the left and so on, whipstiching continuously so you have one seam across. Continue the next row across and so on until all horizontal seams are complete then go back and finish all the vertical seams. It seems to work up quicker and tidier this way, at least ive found it to be so. I love granny squares, they're so versatile. You can use up scraps or plan special colors, use varied stiches or all the same, whipstitch or crochet together in several different ways, so much variety😀 happy crocheting🧓!!!!!
All that work and positive attitude. Liked the video!
Let’s get this girl some more views! She deserves it!
You are truly inspiring honey! Great job!
I'm almost done with a granny square project and have around 100 granny squares. 900 granny squares is crazy, but also amazing. The blanket looks great! Slay
I made a 900 3 round granny square blanket, crocheting over the ends as I went. It covered a cal-king with lots of overlap.
It was humongous, heavy and went for $1500 at the volunteer fire benefit auction.
The blanket is so amazing. Congratulations!!!!!! :)
So very beautiful ❤ I like it.!
Dont make it to big, becaus he dont fit in your washing machine 😉
I do a continuous join that i saw on youtube. It joins then in a wavy pattern one at a time and so i know i wont accidentally join matching ones.
I especially love the fact that you joined them at random and there is no pattern forming with the colors! 🥰😍
Can you show how you sewed them together ? Please ❤😊
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING 😮❤🎉
You should make a granny square sweater
i have put a cat beanie on hold for the past 3 months because i got so burnt out... i cant imagine doing this. props to you! it looks so amazing!
