    Beautiful blanket, you can't think about the cost it's about knowing that you made that, it's your art and it belongs only to you. I've been there I've thought about the cost of something etc. and what I could have bought it for at a big box store but there is nothing like a homemade craft. I've been crocheting for 40 years and stopped for 7 years and I just picked it back up about 2 years ago and I was surprised on how much yarn cost, years ago it was a way to make things on a budget but not anymore but it is nice seeing your generation picking up the craft and the yarns you have available today is amazing we pretty much had budget yarn. Btw, we all get burned out a time a two (or 7 years), sometimes picking up a smaller project for a while helps especially on the big blanket projects that takes a while to make that's where I struggle keeping focused on the same stitch over and over.

      Aw thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful reminder! My grandma would always tell me that when I just started crocheting- that the price of yarn has increased so much! But you are absolutely right :) nothing beats the creativity and joy that comes with creating something one of a kind! Crocheting for 40 years is incredible by the way

    I'm crocheting a blanket while watching this. Watching videos of other people crocheting blankets while working on crocheting your own blanket is perfect. For me it gives this feeling of "I'm not the only crazy one!" because I always feel crazy for doing this to myself every single time I'm working on yet another blanket. But it is addictive.

    • @melanielocke
      @melanielocke  2 месяца назад +1

      it is so so addictive!! I don't even want/need another blanket but it was SO rewarding to finish😅 and I LOVE that we can crochet together through a screen :,,)

    I love your blanket! I haven’t bought that pattern yet, but plan to start it after Christmas. Don’t worry about your white/ivory colors not matching. No one will even notice; they will just notice how gorgeous it is! I am working on finishing my reading journal afghan now. I crochet a row for every book I’ve read based on the star rating. I will be so glad when it’s finished because I’ve literally been working on it since January! 😂

  • @bnamarie5528

    You could be using the same colored yarn but they are from a different "dye lot" making it have a slightly different shade

    • @melanielocke
      @melanielocke  3 месяца назад +2

      oh shoot... like each batch is slightly different?? I had no clue that happens! But I unfortunately think that in this case it was two different colors bc they had different names😅

    Currently crocheting a little hammock to put all my yarn in so it's out of my way in the very limited space of the camper I live in. I can't have multiple project going and bounce back and forth between them, its just too much for my brain. But my next projects I plan on doing are Christmas gifts. A granny square bag for my aunt, dishcloths for my aunt and grandma, and a skate leash for my friend.
    Watching this video is making me want to make my own blanket. I have a crocheted blanket that my great great grandma made that we found in some of her belongings after she passed and it makes me feel good that I'm going something that my great great grandma, whom I honestly don't remember much of, used to do. And having both that inspiration of her doing the same thing and seeing you doing it, now I feel so motivated to make a blanket.

    • @melanielocke
      @melanielocke  Месяц назад +1

      waiiitttt i've seen those hammocks and they're awesome!! such a smart use of space and i actually LOVE the look of them (even for stuffed animals too hehe) I totally get the bouncing back and forth between projects thing- i feel like i always end up forgetting certain ones, so the way you're doing it is probably smarter... the story about your great grandma is so touching :,) I just know that she would have so much love and appreciation for you carrying on the same hobbies that she once cherished. Crochet is something that I share with my grandma as well and I just love how it can connect different generations. Best of luck with the blanket and the lovely gifts you are working on

    Some insight on yarn colors! So there's a thing called lot dying, where they dye a bunch of yarn one color all at once. Ideally you want to match the lot dye as well as the color, or it will look a little bit off. Honestly, I think it only looks off once you mention it and it's something only you will notice but welcome to the lot dye problem haha!

    My mum tells me to keep a hold of the yarn label with a small piece of the colour yarn in question attached to the label with sello-tape or a staple when I would need more of that yarn with the brand, weight, and how many grams in the ball of yarn that I have used for my crochet projects. I also learnt to keep a hold of scrap yarns to fill amigurumi projects as well. Well done for sharing your project with us fellow crocheters.

      thats so funny because I feel like sweaters are so much harder for me than blankets! or maybe I should say complex? Like even though the blanket took manyyy months it was super mindless, so it was pretty easy to pause and start whenever! I bet your sweater is going to be lovely :)

And I just use a single crochet stitch to join my square! It's the first one explained in this video ruclips.net/video/QN-O_Q1Z5Us/видео.htmlsi=ddknVwi_AQNn63fr :) I hope this helps!!

    Hey, I am currently trying to make a blanket similar to this one with the same color/brand of yarn you used. Could you please tell me the dimensions of the blanket and how many granny squares it took to make so I can get a rough estimate?

    @readknitwithcheryl Месяц назад

    The color probably isn't different. You just got a different dye lot number. Each color is dyed and sometimes comes out a bit different so look at the dye lot number when you buy yarn and make sure they are made in the same lot.

    I'm currently working on an amigurumi of Penelope from bridgerton. It's a little tedious because it's a smaller hook than I typically use, but your video helped keep me company for a couple rounds! Your blanket came out so gorgeous. The colors look so good together and match your apartments aesthetic so well!
