    Making a blanket seems cool, cuz then you get to have a blanket on your lap while you're working.

    I’m BRAND new to crochet and spent my entire day yesterday making 9 total granny squares so hearing how quickly you worked gives me hope that I may actually get faster at this. You’re brilliant
    Also I LOVE your nail colors. So pretty.

      9 granny squares in a day is insane especially for a beginner. I've been crocheting for a month and can't make a granny square. Ur already very fast

    The different 'weird' colours between the colours (around 6:24 ) might be caused by the way the original drawing was saved. If possible save the drawing as .PNG instead of .jpg. This should make a picture with only your intended 6 colours, and without the weird transition between colours.

    I’ve done the math!
    26hrs 50mins=1610mins=96600sec
    162st*225rows=36450total stitches
    96600/36450= about 2.5 seconds per stitch! And that’s NOT including time needed for color changes! I’d say that’s pretty stinking fast 🤪❤️
