    FAQs??
    -How many squares do I need for a baby blanket?
    This can vary, it really can be however big or small you like, but i generally do 4x4 or 5x5.
    This blog post might be useful: bit.ly/1UIobie
    -How many chains shall I do for a *single/double/etc' blanket?
    Again, this can vary. I would suggest that you do your chain and lay it down agains the bed you are wanting it for. It should be the same width. You should then ad a few more to make it a little wider.
    This blog post might be useful: bit.ly/1UIobie
    -How much yarn do I need?
    Unfortunately, I will not be able to answer individuals questions about how much yarn you would used do to multiple factors affecting it. Such as, your tension, the size of hook and the yarn being used.
    -What equipment do you use?
    Camera: amzn.to/2jkNDl2
    Tripod: amzn.to/2w4ReK8
    Ring Light: amzn.to/2w4vrC7

    The first time I followed this tutorial earlier this week, it took me 3 hours and 5 unravels to complete my first ever granny square. I just followed this tutorial again and it took me 1 hour and 0 unravels! I'm so proud of myself (which is a rare occurrence) and so grateful to you. 💜 I'm someone who benefits greatly from very thorough, visual instructions and this is perfect. Thank you so much! 🥰
    The last time I did any crocheting was in elementary school, so 25 years ago, give or take 😉 back then my teacher held up my project for everyone to see, only to say "this is precisely how NOT to do it - the stitches are too tight". It's haunted me ever since and hasn't helped my issues with anxiety 😅😢 it might have taken me a few decades but I'm back at it, and so excited to watch my progress 😊

I look forward to getting better, and faster, with more practise, now that I know what I am doing!

You made this tutorial so easy for an absolute beginner like me. Till today I never even picked up a ball of yarn or crochet needle so I can't believe i have actually made a granny square and have been able to do this! I have to admit, it's taken me a good couple of hours to get used to the feel of what I'm doing but you explained it so thoroughly and simply I was able to figure out what I am looking for and I have nailed it! My mum is so amazed at the work I've done lol. You are the absolute best! Thank you once again x x

    I just wanted to say a massive thank you. I learned to crochet watching your channel and my first project was your starburst blanket. Fast forward two years, and many projects later, thanks to a minor stroke, I'm medically retired from work. Due to balance issues, I spend most of my time on my ever widening derriere! I'm relearning to crochet watching your channel, as well as following your journey as a mum on your other channel. You really are an inspiration. I'm hoping the 'birthday fairy' brings me a video camera on Tuesday, as my next recovery goals are to learn to 'RUclips' and blog. Can't think where that idea came from 😉😉 Thanks again, from another 'Midlander', Dotty xxx
