like you i do not sleep very much so i have been trying to teach myself crochet as i have always been a knitter i am in my 70s and, , was never taught to crochet found your Kaleidoscope granny blanket on you tube and as you do it stitch by stitch i have found it easy to follow.and i love your chatting as in the wee small hours i do not feel like i am the only person in the world ,other sites seem to just show you a few repeats then go to the end of the work so i have to keep stopping and starting my lap top frustrating so again thank you keep doing it this way as there must be more like me that can not sleep and want to learn new projects
Love this helpful video.....sure hope that you are gonna continue with more rounds...I love spending my time here with you, the up close as to where to stitch is fantastic.....by far this is the BEST CAL I have taken part in..am in love with it that much that I am working on a total of 3 !!!!
Hi I just found your videos and really enjoy you calming voice. I have just recently gotten back into crocheting and other handwork and am looking forward to trying some of your projects. They are so exciting and wonderful. Thank you for for sharing your talent.
Thank You so much for spending time with me to teach me this stitch. I have lung cancer and will not be here for my granddaughter's wedding, so I wanted to make this for her as a wedding gift. Thank You so much.
Velma, you are so incredibly welcome. I'm so sorry about your health, and my warmest thoughts will be with you. Your blanket will truly be an heirloom to treasure! 😊
I love the crochet along. So much better then step by step by step. I almost fall to sleep. I think they are called teaching courses. I understand thou that some need these. I was thinking maybe they should say on the titles they are teaching ones. Thank you for all your time you put into each and every one of these videos. . You are awesome
You are not boring at all I like hearing your stories also I like when people take the time to teach me and others something new ....who knew that a plain granny square could turn into something groovy lol
Thank you for sharing your crochet along. Very easy to follow along. Keep doing what your doing. Enjoy listianing to you talk while learning the pattern. I am a fan.
Please continue the cal, i love seeing it grow and develope. I myself did get very inspired and i made a star for my baby girl... i do have to say i did it ' my way' hihihihi but that is my way so will not bother anyone with that. Thank you for inspiering us all and doing this so devotedly... you simply are a total inspiration!!
Awww, gawsh, lol. Well, thank you very much! I would love to continue seeing as how so many are interested. Also, if you haven't done so already, please share a pic of what you are working on on my Facebook page. Want to do a bit of a slideshow on the next video to showcase all the beautiful work everyone is doing. 😉
I have the vhs of Return to Oz that was my girls favorite movie! I do love the books though, first and foremost....i love books, movies, and crocheting!
I love doing this. My grandson picked the colors and I'm learning as I go. I thought that maybe it would be helpful to know how many rows are going to be in the corners only for calculating how many rows of each color I can design the corners. Since this is my first one it would help but if I was on a second one I would have the first one to look back at. Thank you.
as for the two rounds, i went ahead and did that already, but for the purpose of the cal maybe still do them as a reminder. you can always do the first round as a reminder of what to do when you get those center points, them have them complete the rest of that part on their own, then cut to the triangles.
The part I still don't understand is: How do I know which side to start. I laid my work down in between triangles. Which side should be facing me when I start so that I end in the right spot?
Can I suggest for an audio book The Wind in the Willows the enchanting story of wood creatures. I watched many years ago the pantamine of the story . Like you to read it.
you make it so easy to understand. I'm waiting for the next step. I do have a question.. if I want to add another set of squares after the final square that is in this pattern how do I figure out how many sets of each color? I don't know if this makes any sense, I hope that it does. thank you for your help.
If you mean the final rounds around the perimeter of the whole square after the 4 triangles are added, you need to have an even number of rounds around the perimeter in order to have a space available in the center of each square side.
Fiber Spider no I guess that I'm talking about the triangle part of it. if I want to make 7 triangle sets. if on the seventh layer would I start the first triangle with 4 or 5 toes of the first color?
You can have as many as you want, the only thing to concern yourself with is the last row where you have to slip stitch to the other triangles - the number of rows per color is arbitrary
how many squares are you doing and at the end you know how big the blanket will because I do not want it to be small but I don't know how many row I need to of each colon as it grow .i hope u understand what i am trying to say
ok my problem is, after , lets say, I finish my first triangle side , cut off the yard, do I turn my work and start the second one, will it match up to the end of the second to slip stitch into the first triangle. I keep getting messed up here and having to take a piece of yard and stitching both together . Same thing with starting the third one too. Hope I said this right so you can understand
I love, listening to you in background, and reassurance that I’m doing it right,

Thank you for the input. I want to be true and to be fair. Besides, this is so much fun! Lol 😄
So far my blanket worked up to 28" square , so I hope you will do a tutorial for the next corner.
The part I still don't understand is: How do I know which side to start. I laid my work down in between triangles. Which side should be facing me when I start so that I end in the right spot?

HELLO Fiber Spider ready to finish the last triangle with you lets crocheting.
i can wait till u do the next video
Can I suggest for an audio book The Wind in the Willows the enchanting story of wood creatures. I watched many years ago
the pantamine of the story . Like you to read it.

oops 4-5 rows
You can have as many as you want, the only thing to concern yourself with is the last row where you have to slip stitch to the other triangles - the number of rows per color is arbitrary
Fiber Spider thank you for your help. I have learned a lot by watching and working with you on this tutorial. can't wait to see more
how many squares are you doing and at the end you know how big the blanket will because I do not want it to be small but I don't know how many row I need to of each colon as it grow .i hope u understand what i am trying to say

I keep getting messed up here and having to take a piece of yard and stitching both together . Same thing with starting the third one too. Hope I said this right so you can understand
I would suggest crocheting all four triangles and then connect them with the slip stitches after they are finished, I find this easier 😉
I don't think you need to keep doing the borders as you have shown how to pick up row beforehand
Continue with triangles...lol
I will say that I am patiently waiting (not demanding) the next chapter of Dorian Gray's story...lol
Your patience will be rewarded in time, lol.
I know you are such a sweetie..Just had to hassel you.
