My yarn arrived last week and I started this blanket yesterday! The colorways are stunning! In 49 yrs of crocheting, I have made many blankets, scarves, totes, etc....with the granny pattern. I never tire of it. I have only 2 blankets in the pattern because I have always given everything away! Not this one! Thank you, Anja! I have been fighting a horrible diagnosis this past year and so far, I am winning the fight. I don't know what I would have done with Anja and other excellent and professional knitters and crocheters on UA-cam. My heart aches for Melanie Hamm. I do not know what I would've done without my crocheting and knitting and my favorite UA-camrs. God Bless you, Anja 😇😇💗💗😇😇
Hi Anja I absolutely will always love the granny square. This is gorgeous Anja. You always do a magnificent job choosing gorgeous colors. The border is beautiful!!! Thank you so very much. You are such a wonderful teacher and it's a delight listening to you. Thank you!! 😊❤
i liked the way you had two baskets and moved them when you were done with a round, the simplicity of it and joining as you go is a better way than waiting til all squares are finished. I certainly do not need to crochet another blanket but grannies are so beautiful. Thanks Anya for sharing yours. It's beautuful♥
I really love this! I have made some large granny squares a few years ago. I didn’t know how to join them..I do now! and how to put a cool border on. So beautiful. Thank you 🧶😎
Yes. The one I am finishing is similar in size but I gravitate to bright colors. I loved how you rotated a palette of more subdued colors. Also, I never have done the join as you go and want to try that for my next one.
I can't wait to do mine! Thank you for showing us how to join this way! It makes so much sense and saves time and yarn! The border is so wonderfully done! Thank you!
This is great for making in the summer as you are only working with small pieces at a time until the end - I love it in the vintage colours but I have plans to make other colours too! xx
Hello Tania, yes we can deliver to Australia, we post all over the world now, just to let you know Dirk and I are going on holiday today, so we won't be available to dispatch yarn for a week, please be patient, you can order, but these orders will not be processed until we come home, thank you, Anja x
@@OpheliaTalks I'm currently working on a granny square baby blanket, and I joined the squares just the way you did. Your border has inspired me to do the same with it. Thanks for the inspiration. ❣️
Hi Anja, sorry for been a nuisance but i have so much whole balls of yarn 🧶 and was wondering if you could please let me know what colours the vintage yarn pack consists of that i can check first in my stock before ordering the pack for this particular blanket, I do not want to keep on ordering when i might have all the colours that have been used in the vintage blanket . Thanks so much for your kind attention. I do want to crochet the vintage blanket a lot as i love it 😍 it’s so stunning 🤩 👍👍💕🤗🙏🏻
Hi Anja what a beautiful blanket and loveley colors👍. Just a little question, in this Video you dont showe explizit the making of the the square. I think there are many users they will Start to crochet with this blanket, BUT there are Not realy know howe to make a grannysquare so that it will be rightangled, do you know what i mean🙈. Can you please please Show is in a Video how you make espacialy this square. Thank you so much for Your great ideas and way to introducing Your Videos. Nice greetings from germany sends you lally🥰

You See two flys with one clap😊😊😉😉 LG lally ❤️
Having seen your Jan 30 Sunday Live, I think I picked up a hint... Am I correct that one needs to use the three border colors on the lower-numbered granny rounds? If true, what is the suggested 'highest number", to have the best shot at having enough yarn for the border???? I am IN LOVE with that border!!!
@@OpheliaTalks thanks for that update...can't wait to start. BTW, received my recent order from you...pass thanks on to Dirk for the careful, thoughtful, and so very special way of packing the yarns. I've never had an issue with damaged/wet yarn (From Ohio USA)
In the description you will see the webshop address, go to the shop section and the SSDK packs section, oh hang on, I'll get you the link.....Anja x www.opheliatalkscrochet.com/stylecraft-special-dk-yarn-packs
Are you in the Facebook group? facebook.com/groups/389613388330327 perhaps you could ask in there? I’m sure one of our members has this or a similar blanket to hand that you could ask to see the back of. Or perhaps post a photo of the back of yours so the moderators or myself can see your work and advise, it’s a great group. Anja x
Yay I’ve just bought the jewel of the Nile pack and the vintage pack to make the beautiful creations you are showing. Can’t wait for the yarn to arrive. I have a question do you turn /flip your work every round so the squares stay in shape.
Hello again Rhonda, yes, we do send to the US, you just need to choose the States in the drop down box when you get through to the shipping section of the order, I hope this helps, or email Dirk on the website and he'll be able to help you, Anja x
Hello Eileen, firstly welcome to my channel and videos, thank you for joining me xx And secondly, yes, you just need to keep going round by round until your project is as big as you desire, whether it be one great big square, or lots of smaller squares joined together, it's a classic design that never goes out of fashion, enjoy, Anja x We have a Facebook group also, if you haven't already, please consider joining us there too, lots of inspiration not only from me, but other members, and there's always someone on hand to answer questions and give advice.....Anja x facebook.com/opheliatalks/
I would love to make this! If I made a twin size, how many yards of yarn do you think I would need? This is so beautiful and I absolutely love the border!
@@OpheliaTalks Thank you! I guess I will have to order a pack. I was trying to avoid it because I live in the US. I will figure out how much yardage is in 15 balls of they yarn you are using. It’s absolutely lovely!
This is so beautiful! I definitely need to make this! is one pack of your yarn enough to make the entire blanket if you do it in the manner that you explain?
This is a beautiful blanket, I will definitely purchase your vintage yarn pack to make this. May I ask what are the dimensions of your blanket including border? Thank you xx
In the yarn pack is there a colour recipe for the squares? I know that you say that they're random but some colors just don't look good together 🤣😂 and if I'm being absolutely honest I'm rubbish at picking out colors.
I think the beauty of these wonderful colours is that they will all look good next to each other, sometimes planning the colour order can be difficult and take time and fun out of a project, I’ve made granny squares with my scraps and just doing a random dip has produced some lovely colour combination.

Hi Anja when you do your granny squares do you turn your work when you change colours?
Hello Nicky, if you usually need to turn your squares to keep them straight, then I would continue to do so, I personally don't, Anja x
Mine go slightly wonky so I flipped mine each row.
I would love to make this! If I made a twin size, how many yards of yarn do you think I would need? This is so beautiful and I absolutely love the border!
1 pack of 15 balls should be enough, I have yarn left, so you could easily make another 3 squares to make it bigger. Anja x

Thank you!! I am having so much fun with all the colors!!❤
Pueden traducir en español porfavor se ve hermoso
Feel very confused. do i a complete square first or just 2 or 3 sides
The first square is a complete one, then each of the others you crochet on after that as you go, hope this helps, Anja x
