Thank you for sharing.beaiuful Granny squares blankets.enjoying your video ❤ God Bless everyone ❤
Thank you so much!
I like the back and forth granny and the stained glass granny. Good job. You have been busy.
Very busy but happily busy!!
Hand down the wow factor vote, for me, goes to the stain glass with the amazing border.
I'd also love to see a c2c stain glass. The c2c in variegated yarn is gorgeous, I never knew just how pretty it could be until you showed us in a video.
Great suggestion!
Hi Jennie!
Thank you for showing us your granny square blankets!!!
Love them all! I don't think it looks wonky, it adds something to it. Another dimension.
I can't pick a favorite, I love them all !!
You are to cute with your energy!
Yesterday I was supposed to go food shopping, but crocheted patchwork squares instead. Headed to the stores this morning. Came home put everything away, just watched your video and I am working on patchwork squares again!!
Enjoy the rest of today!
And you keep being awesome Jennie!!!❤
All I could think while reading this was "me too!" still haven't done any food shopping yet because I have a flat tire! So I crocheted some more squares!!
@@jennie-grannysquarepeg
I hope your tire gets fixed.
Tomorrow I plan on making more squares!
The laundry can wait till Tuesday!! 😊
@@eileenburke3314 I agree, the laundry can wait!! lol
Hello Jennie
Thanks for another video🧶
I love the stain glass blanket the most!😊
Thank you! 😊
I am also a disorganized perfectionist! It took me so long to even realize it. I thought how can I be a perfectionist when nothing is perfect?! 😂 Thanks for sharing. I love your blankets.
So true!
Beautiful granny squares blankets ❤
Thank you
Yay! You are bad. Now I’m going to need some hot chocolate, and sit back and watch, and I might do a little crocheting too.😊
Hot chocolate sounds good! Enjoy!!
Patch work blanket verigated and black yarn look amazing, Thank you for giving me inspiration.
You're welcome!
I love your blankets. As to leaning, crochet stitches lean, when crocheting we pull toward the dominant hand.
Hi Jenny. Thank you for sharing all the beautiful blankets. I probably have at least 30 myself. I wanted to let you know that the Secret Yarnery has a wonderful tutorial on turning Granny squares and it keeps everything perfectly straight. It is my absolute go to Granny Square I pretty much make them every day.
Thanks for the tip, I will check out her video. I love all the bright colors that she uses. Sounds like your project pile is big too...lol
Loved the granny square and at stripe blankets!
Thank you
Hi Jennie 👋, loved seeing your granny blankets. They are all gorgeous. I'm looking forward to seeing how you will join the patchwork squares together. Take care 🙂
Thanks Carla. I have about 300 squares made, so there will be multiple blankets to put together.
I'm with you! I start crocheting in the morning saying to myself I will do a little and then get onto my jobs before lunch, but all of a sudden it is lunch time and I don't know where the time went!! I love all your blankets ❤
So true!
Thank you for showing us your blankets, I think your black stain glass with the Lenin border was my favorite. Love that border
Thank you so much
I actually like it that way. Very different but good.
I love all your granny square blankets!
Thank you
Hi Jennie, loving the granny vibes today, my favourites are pink, purple and cream, rainbow, stained glass granny blankets. I use dk weight all the time and it could be either too small a hook size or tension, dk weight isnt very forgiving like the thicker yarns, but in all honesty handmade isn't perfect, somebody out there will want it just as it is. That mistake corner i would love it on all four corners it would look awesome. Much love Ann x
I have to remind myself that I made these blankets years ago and I have learned many things since then. I'm always so hard on myself. Thank you for your kind words.
I love makingGrannies, and I love making granny square blankets. My favorite blanket that you showed today was the one with all the beautiful colors and stripes. It caught my eyes right away.
I have been making different kind of Granny blankets for thr Boggy Blanket Brigade. I make the big square ones, some are rectangular (I like to put threeGrannies In the middle, and I do like the back-and-forth stripes.
I think most of us have piles of Grannies in boxes, or bags. I have a bunch of 5 inch squares in bright colors. I plan to make them larger by adding contrasting colors. I just finished a blanket made out of solid colors trend in white. The colors are bright and cheerful, and it will be hard to send it away, but I know some Child is going to love it. I plan to make another one, using different colors.
My apartment feels so empty without my fur babies. I hate to go away and then have to come back. So, I’m going to call my vet and ask her to help me find just the right kitten. I would like to have two, but can only have one animal Where I live. Don’t ask how I had two for me. I plan to get a little female, and name her Millie.
Nearly all of our pets have come from our local shelter, so I might go there. But, I know our vet works with rescue people, and that they always take time to socialize their cats or dogs. We’ll see. I’ll let you know I love seeing Arlo and bandit . They are so doggone cute.
Again, sorry for the typos, or maybe a strange word or two, I am using the speaker function on my iPad. It’s a lot easier than straining to see the letters on the keyboard.
So glad to see you back, don’t stay away so long. We look forward to your videos, and love to see the beautiful blankets you create. And I want to see just how big the pile of the squares have gotten. They are just so cute. but I have to tell you, the thought of putting them all together is a little daunting. I can’t wait to see how you do it.
I would like to make another stripey granny blanket, it was a very relaxing blanket to work on.
I haven't made a rectangle granny yet and I like the idea of doing 3 grannies in the middle to get started.
I'm so sorry Sandy. My heart aches for you. Hopefully you'll get another fur baby soon to keep you company.
I will do my best to make more videos to keep you company.
I'm happy that Arlo and Bandit bring joy to you.
Don't worry about typos or anything else in your comments. I figure out what you're saying with no problem.
I think you're awesome!!
I'm going to try and make it as easy as possible to put the squares together.
Sending hugs to you, my friend
I like the large granny square and also the back and forth.
Really like the stained glass one.
I think it's time to make another one!
I especially love the stained glass blanket. I can see why you're not so pleased with the border, but the plan is brilliant. I want to make a blanket like that.
It was so easy and a lot of fun.
I really love the stain glass with the amazing border..... I'm going to make me one.... Thanks for sharing
You are so welcome!
Hi Jennie ❤ Beautiful blankets 😍 my favorite is the stained glass 😊 I'm working on a continuous granny square blanket with variegated yarn. I want to do one with the granny rows. 🎉 Arlo wants to be the star of the video. ❤ Take care.
I think I should add Granny in Rows to my possible crochet along list
I'd crochet all the time, arthritis won't let me .
Great work btw
Thank you! 😊
Wow, 70 blankets, I love it. You are my new crochet star, lol. I thought I had a lot of projects that were hard to let go of from Ponchos & shawls to hats & purses, and a fair amount of afghans too.
I'd suggest that the 1st wonky one could be, maybe, corrected with a gentle machine wash & medium heat dry, take it out of the dryer while it's still warm & spread on a bed & twist that center to lay square until it cools. From where I sit, overall it didn't look too twisty. Mostly i would have guessed it was because it was hanging, so I say photo it laying flat. Somebody is going to love it. And I agree you definitely matched up that colorway really well.
I was thinking the same thing about washing it, maybe it just needs a little blocking. Oh yeah, I crochet every day and I've made a lot of blankets. I'm about halfway through my project pile.
Oh my, I love pink & grey together or just about any color with a neutral grey. Al your works are gorgeous!
Thank you
Only thing i can think of is your yarn tension is changing. I have only done this stitch for over 40 years. Im about to branch out. I love the birthday candle look on the stained glass border. You must do that again .
Thank you for sharing. I had the same problem with granny squares twisting...
Turning the work every round completely fixed it
That's awesome!
PS……… I love making grannies squares. They are so versatile, and just flame fund to make. I always want to see what the next one is going to look like. I must admit that I have never had a granny Square twist on me or get wonky. I think I’ve just been lucky. I am retired, and live by myself I can crochet or knit, as long as I want to, whenever I want to. I always take a small project to bed with me and usually have my morning coffee while I’ve crochet. And, I always keep something in my bag to take along with me if I go out. You never know. I think adding new colors in different corners is a good idea. I’m pretty sure that’s how I do it. I use a lot of self striping yarn, and finally it makes really nice granny squares.
Have you tried listening to audiobooks? Reading has become almost impossible for me, so I listen to books whenever I can. I have.LIBBY account, and can usually find audiobooks there. I enjoy them, partially, because I can be doing other things while listening. And, UA-cam has Dateline 24; 7_. Keith Morrison is my favorit narrator. He is a gifted storyteller.
I hope your Sunday was a good day. Mindless pretty good. Tomorrow starts another week. Where is April going?
I have tried audiobooks, we don't get along. lol I have no idea where April went!! On the 26th my husband and I will celebrate 26 years together! Where has that time gone!!
I love all the blankets but I love the stained glass one the best. I made a temperature blanket with the moss/linen stitch using a square for each month and the border I used was the same you used for that stained glass blanket.
I am using variegated yarn to make scrap looking squares, granny squares and your C2C squares. The C2C I will be alternating with white. I don't have them all done yet, so there is plenty of time before joining but I would love to see how you are going to join them. I love your ideas when it comes to granny squares!!!!
That stained glass blanket is awesome, I would love to make another one! I made a temperature blanket too with the moss stitch but in rows! Yes, plenty of time. I'm still not sure how I'm going to connect the c2c squares yet.
@@jennie-grannysquarepeg You are so talented. I am patient. I will continue making C2C squares and wait until we see how you are going to join them.
That's the way I do mine.
Pretty sure the biasing is from the structure of the yarn. I know with knitting, the exact same stitch can look very different in a yarn with a single ply (roving style) or 2 plies vs a really round yarn with many plies. Sometimes one leg of the knit stitch will look large and the other side is almost a vertical line. I've noticed crochet biasing more in thinner yarns than thicker. But, it might just appear more obvious when you have more rounds/stitches together. P.S. The black and colorful blocks!!!! I need to make that. Maybe I will use solid black between my 'scrappy' blanket squares.
Yes I am obsessed with crocheting et
My daughter and I were just saying how the cats stop talking as soon as we hit record. 😂 Love the stained glass! Now I need to go buy yarn 😂
Every time!!
I do not have obsessive compulsive disorder when it comes to crochet, I have been there regarding reading! You have a good few days!
Thank you
I'm like this with crochet as well. I can't focus on anything else BUT crochet lol I will crochet and crochet and then talk about crochet and dream about crochet. I can't just crochet for an hour or two 😂 I turn on an audiobook and then crochet for 20hrs straight because my AuDHD brain can't handle reading physical books any longer so I get it!
Love your videos btw! Subscriptioning now! 🤭
Thanks for the sub! And welcome to the channel
It's always nice to know that I'm not alone or crazy with the way my brain thinks.
I don't think it's sideways I think it's just done with the way the colors in the yarn makes it look that way, it's an illusion for others to look at, I love the checkerboard blanket
Thank you
Beautiful
Thank you
When you photo these for sale, no person is going to care it's a bit off. In fact that is going to be the reason it is admired. Like my Artist Sister used to say, "it's hand made, people do not want machine perfection." She also told me that sometimes when she is painting & it comes out too perfect she has to do an "off stroke" or it's not believable that it was individually hand painted.
Your sister is a wise woman. Thank you, I feel encouraged to finally let these blankets go.
You may think it's wonky but it's not....I love it. Can't copy that one for sure😉🥰☺️! Love ya hun going to go lay down now migraine. 🫶❣️👍
Feel better soon!
We get the same ice-cream here in Australia.
The sideways granny is an allusion. It's because of the variegated yarn at the start. That's what I think anyway.
That is what I was going to say. I thought it was an illusion due to the way the variegated yarn worked itself up. We see the brown making it look like it turns. I love it!
My granny square blankets always went wonky until I started turning every row. I really like the granny stripe blanket.
Nope, definitely not an illusion. I've seen the twist with my own eyes.
@@jennie-grannysquarepeg Even if there is a twist it is still a very pretty blanket and will keep someone warm.
I believe Arlo can talk. We have a gray cat named Snoopy. Snoopy would sit on my husband’s shoulder and I swear to you, he would say out. I don’t think he said much of anything else, but he did say out for sure.
Ha ha, too funny!
Hi Davina hope your feeling better soon brillant podcast love too see what everyone making ❤ps covid jab always knocks me about xx
Who is Davina?
Arlo says, “Leave me alone!”
Arlo says a lot of things!! lol
I flip my Granny-Square from row to row. So each row the top V goes in another direction. This works against the wonkyness…
I go up a couple of stiches before/behind the corner…
Audible books will marry the loves again
I will be trying audiobooks. Wish me luck
Good luck I love audible I listen to books, and the Bible using it, keeps me moving and working.
Love the granny in rows, but have not tried doing, I could not figure out the starting chain and got tired of frogging it
I can't remember how many times I frogged it before I got it to work! And I'm frustrated because I didn't think to write it down. Oh well maybe next time.
There is something so soothing about the granny stitch. Really enjoyed ALL the blankets! I am always on the hunt for the perfect pink. Pink aficionado here. Is there any other color? Hope you’re doing well. Looking great!! Hope everything is healing up like it’s supposed to. Best!!
Healing is going well, seeing the dentist next week to start the next step. Thank you.
"me too" always on the hunt for the perfect pink!
Its beautiful, but I think it is the color of the yarn
It could be
Mb was here
So was I...lol
Did you crochet over the tail or sew it in later? It could be the tail was tugged too snuggly & causing it to pull it off square. Or maybe your beginning stitch tension was tighter in the beginning. I know as I get tired, my tension can loosen.
Absolutely the beginning is always tight, I have since learned how to loosen up a little when I start a project. Thank you so much for the feedback, I really appreciate it.
That's such a coincidence! I was just telling Thryss a couple weeks ago that she should dye a hank that's speckled brown, with cream and red and name it SOCK MONKEY!! Great minds think alike I guess!
I have no idea who Thryss is but sock monkey yarn would be awesome
My grandma used to say if th.e iteum is handmade it should have a mistake im it or its not handmade. Most of my crocheted items have a mistake i dont mind mistakes but only small ones.
Yes, mistakes are a part of the process
Hello love the video. Im currently working on a granny square blanket. I have a plan but im not ready to join the squares yet. What is variegated yarn?
Variegated means "multiple colors" in one skein usually in short bursts
I am in awe of all your amazing blankets in this video! I absolutely love the sock monkey one! Curious as to how much you are thinking of selling it for? Also, love the last blanket! The edges are simply to die for! About how much would you sell it for?
❤❤🎉
I don't think I'm comfortable talking about pricing in the comments because people get hot-headed about it. But that sock monkey blanket has been in my project pile for about 10 years, I wouldn't/couldn't ask too much for it.
@@jennie-grannysquarepeg OK. Can I find you on Etsy or something? I really love it so much ❤
Beautiful work 👏🏻.
Is the first one twisted? Might it be the colour change distorting the eye?, regardless each one is lovely.
Could be
How many skeins of each varigated color did you use for the stained glass blanket?
I'm sorry but I really don't remember. The skeins were like 2.5 ounces, they were tiny.
Catch your breath I’m sorry but your not running or walking slow even , you need to eat healthy it’s not a mean thing I’m trying to let you know your too young to say you need a rest from making a video , please do not think I’m saying something mean it’s all about your health
Huh? I'm older than you think and talking to the camera is exhausting! Just talking! I'm all about my mental health and it takes a lot out of me to open myself up and put it on the internet for all to see. It is a mean thing to say when you don't know me. If you have a sentence with the words "I'm sorry but" maybe you should not finish that sentence.
