I've tried to copy your video to a cd and not successful but I want to so that if my internet goes off line that I could still watch and play video. I like watching you and sometimes need to rewatch cause things don't look correct. Help &
I'd like to join, but with a smaller blanket at the end. I did that with last years calender blanket too. Mine got the size of a tablerunner/pet blanket. Is there a specific amount of stitches I need for this one? Can I do half of the stitches? And how many rows do I have to do then?
This is crazy. My mom has been talking the entire time I've been visiting her about how much she wants to learn tunisian crochet. She already ordered a set of hooks so we can begin on Monday. Thank you!!!
Rather than making a blanket, I’d like to make a “stitch sample” scarf/wrap. I’m wondering what the stitch count should be… 🤔 (Greetings from Morro Bay, California.)
So excited to be learning this! I did go up to a 6.0 and seemed easier for me with the yarn I have. Thanks Jayda💙 This is my 4th calendar blanket with you since you are the one that taught me how to crochet!
You taught me how to crochet, now five blankets later your teaching me Tunisian crochet. As also your tutorial is easy to follow, clear and basically blooming brilliant
I learned Tunisia stitch 3 years ago and it happens to be my favorite crochet stitch. I got excited that you're doing this stitch with the very colors I like very much. The universe answered my request/prayer.
I have put down my crocheting for 5 years to raise a child that needs undivided attention and work a full time job! Now I’ve retired from work and my child isn’t so demanding of my time for he has discovered friends exist outside of just mom and dad! So i went to you tube to learn to make “something” to crotchet. I found the mile a minute 2021 calendar afghan by this Jayda lady! It looked like alot of fun to learn so many stitches! So i watched the tutorials by this Jayda lady and was completely wowed by what a great teacher she is! So i had to see some more of her tutorials and was completely hooked on Jayda! Jayda you are a spectacular teacher! So wonderful with the camera use, so that i can see your work very close and you speak very clearly with only enough repeatidness so that i can understand the point of the stitch. Really Jayda your the Greatest teacher. I’m hooked on you! Thank you so much for your time and attention to teach me and others. You are very appreciated by me!
This is so exciting! A new calendar blanket, a new crochet hook, and a new crochet stitch! Who could ask for anything more? I’ve never done the Tunisian stitch, so this is a whole new line up for me! Can’t wait to get the supplies so I can begin. Thanks, Jayda and Mr. InStitches! Weeee!
This project makes me so happy. I tried to learn this style before and could never understand the written pattern or videos of others. Jayda is the real deal best teacher out there! Your tutorials are golden ❤️🥰❤️
And it’s amazingly simple. She is a good teacher; I think because she has fun doing three things: knitting and crocheting 🧶, having a project while teaching others how to make something with her.👩🌾🧵🪡
I bought a full set of hooks about a year ago, had a bit of a go but decided I was rubbish and gave up. Thanks to you I'm now finding a renewed enthusiasm. I've just finished the January square and cant wait for the next. Thank you so much Jayda
I just tried a sample piece of this Tunisian simple stitch! So much fun! I'm impressed! Even though it's 2024 and I'm eager to hear about this year's blanket, I think I want to do the 2022 Tunisian Calender Blanket also! The last Calender blanket I did was the Mile-A-Minute and thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks so much!
Using an online company, I made a crocheted Sampler Afghan last year using a monthly kit program. I really enjoyed that and love the afghan. During last year I ordered another afghan kit from the same company, this time I received 10 skeins of yarn (each a different color) all at the same time. However, the separately ordered pattern for the Tunisian Sampler never arrived. When I saw your 2022 Totally Tunisian Calendar Blanket I began immediately. I have so much yarn on these huge skeins that I have made 4 blocks for January. Each in a different color. I plan to do the same for each month. Hopefully I will have completed 4 different blankets by the end of the year. I am also hoping to learn the stitches well enough for my old brain to remember them, too! Thank you for all the wonderful videos and patterns you provide. You are an excellent teacher and designer. Such a talented young woman. I thank you from the bottom of my heart, Peggy
I watched this video about 2 weeks ago and was determined to have a try at Tunisian crochet. A friend of mine does it and I was very impressed. I sent for long Tunisian crochet hooks from Amazon (a whole set and very reasonable price) They came yesterday and I put on this video again and started. I am thrilled with the result. I love to try new skills and apart from wanting to tuck the long hook under my arm ( my Grandma taught me to knit and always had the right hand needle under her arm, so I knit this way too) I got on well. I have developed carpal tunnel syndrome in both hands and this I have found is easier on my hands than knitting. I am trying to keep my hands supple and working. So thanks for the inspiration and the super clear instructions. Best wishes from the Lancashire in the North west of England.
This is beautiful Jayda, I have watched other Tunisian tutorials before, but I really enjoyed how you explained it, you sure have a knack for teaching 😉 natural talent. Thank you 🌹
When I saw Tunisian I was excited as that is something I have not done. Then as I was digging through my older knitting needles I found a 6mm and a 5.5mm Tunisian hook that had been gifted to me. I'm happy to join in and start this years blanket! Thank you
Jayda, You are the best!!! I have followed you for at least 6 yrs now. The excitement is certainly contagious for learning to make this Tunisian blanket! I only wish I had the opportunity to sit with someone else to" double the fun and the adventure" as I follow along as a Tunisian crochet beginner. I am working up a reference notebook for myself online, of special tips provided by you as well as by some of your viewers' comments, as well as questions I will want to put to you later on in the year. It really is a special community effort and you put your heart and soul into everything you do.! As soon as my supplies arrive, I will start to enjoy every single moment of your wonderful Tunisian craft teaching. Thank you!!
U make it look so easy, this is really the only stitch I know how to do. Thanks for being such a great teacher. That means I shouldn’t have any trouble doing the rest of the squares. Thanks again!!! Have a great day!!!
Jada, it took me quite awhile to get the hang of this new way of crocheting, but now I have gotten into the groove! I just take my time and have relaxed more while doing it. This is going to be a fun blanket to make. Thank you!
Just got my hooks today, love the bamboo set you recommended, have started and loving this technique, I learnt to knit when I was four, learnt to crochet at 50 with your help Jayda , now this feels like combination of both and I love it, can't wait to learn other stitches . Thank you
Looking forward to working on Tunisian stitching again. Made a Christmas afghan many years ago for my mother and found it fun. It will be fun to make a new afghan with this stitch and learning new designs of it this year. Thank you Jayda for taking the dust off this Tunisian hook in my hook stash. Can’t wait for each new month’s stitch. 🧶🧶
Omg I am so excited I have been wanting to learn how to do Tunisian this is so perfect. Jayda you explained how to do this so well. Thank you so much. I love learning new things.🙂
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for doing this particular calendar blanket. I have played around with Tunisian but definitely want to learn more so thank you very much Jayda for doing this for all of us..its so much appreciated!
I wasn’t sure about this but I am sure glad I gave it a try. I’m so glad you expand our skills and encourage us. I love you and mr in stitches you make a great team. I can’t wait to see where you both take us this year on this new adventure!
@@JaydaInStitches oh shoot i made my square 38 rows instead of 32....will that matter...should i frog it? Or maintain 38 rows for all other blocks going forward...thank you
Another new stitch to learn. Can't wait. Thank you for being a teacher as well as current occupation name. I appreciate all the little extra hints/help thrown in.
I love this idea for an afghan. I got new tunisian hooks for Christmas from my daughter who is an experienced tunisian crocheter. Have a great weekend Jayda & Mr. Institches.
Now I understand why people have unfinished projects laying around! I have a pair of fingerless gloves to finish, but I really want to start on this project, like yesterday! I have my hooks and yarns ready. You are singularly the best teacher that I have searched for! Thank you Jayda!
Ah, but since I was excited about using my new wool needles, I did indeed finish the gloves. I used to seriously dread weaving in the ends, but the new needle made it a breeze to finish. I can't wait to rate them on Amazon! 5 stars! On your recommendation! Thanks again!
OMG! I am so thrilled with this year’s blanket! I have a set of Tunisian crochet hooks that I have not used. I have watched Toni on TL Yarns do Tunisian crochet but have not attempted it myself. Your instruction is so clear that I will definitely be giving it a try! I’m anxious to learn the different stitches and complete another blanket this year with you. Thank you for your time! ~Janette ~
Have some questions. I have an afghan hook but a different size so am going to give this a try with different dimensions. I plan to measure the starting chain, then add rows until roughly a square. Will that work as long as I start with the same number of chains and same number of rows usong the same weight yarn and same hook in each month's block? Or should I wait to order your size hook and go directly by your pattern? I'm really excited about learning different Tunisian stitches. I've done the simple stitch before but it was a long time ago and from your directions, I'm not sure I was doing it right! That was before RUclips so a really long time ago! Love your channel, and you and Mr. Institches' live videos as well as your great tutorials. I am always anxious for the next one. 💝
Great idea Jayda! I love Tunisian crochet! Looking forward to seeing which stitches you choose. I have to agree about blocking it. I’d do it immediately so there will be less to do at the end. Have a wonderful weekend! Thanks!
My sister has been admiring all the work I did with last year's calendar blanket and wants to learn. We are doing this one together. I'm so happy. Thank you Jayda for making your instructions to easy.
Hello... To both of you 😊 I've only learnt to crochet in 2017 so, I'm still learning.😳 I'm watching how you do this tunisian simple stitch & I'm willing to learn 😱 I hope that you've both had a lovely Christmas. Sending my best wishes from Lancashire in England 🤗
I taught myself how to Tunisian crochet a few months ago after wanting to learn for years. I have to say I didn’t really love it . I only made a few coasters and never made anything else. I had no desire to make a blanket or anything. I watched this video this morning. I was so excited to see the new calendar blanket. Kinda disappointed that it was Tunisian crochet. I made the 2021 calendar blanket and it was so much fun. I thought about it all day and I’m making this one!!!
Hi Tracy! Sometimes working these sorts of stitches in smaller samples (like blanket squares) is more fun! It's easier on our hands, and finishing off a square takes less time than a whole blanket. 😊
Hey Jayda, I'm really excited about this year's calendar blanket! I've always wanted to learn Tunisian crochet. I've had these Tunisian crochet hooks forever and never used them but I'm going to make the time to learn how to use them this year. I'm really interested in seeing everyone's projects. I think it would be great if you had a gallery video at the end of the year so we could see what everyone did.
I just got the hooks yesterday and started my first square was able to do 28 rows last night. I'm super impressed bc I've never done Tunisian crochet b4 but with your super easy to follow tutorial it was very easy to do. 😀
Yesss!!! I bought Tunisian hooks last year, and bought rainbow yarn recently... Can't wait to start this blanket!! Also, been thinking of doing something with Tunisian... You read my mind!
I have never done much Tunisian crochet - bits and snippets, but this looks like it will be so much fun! I found an old blanket crochet hook that I had from the 80's! Here we go! 💜
Hi Jayden, you must have been reading our minds. I've been wanting to learn more of the Tunisian stitches for a long time. I'm familiar with this one. This is exciting!
I've only dabbled in Tunisian, so this calendar blanket will get me more proficient. Your photography is so excellent, showing exactly where to put the hook, which I find hard with some Tunisian stitches. My first square could only be stretched to 11 inches but I'll just make them all that size.
I absolutely love you Jayda and your videos! My mom as crochet for the longest, but she didn’t know how to teach me and she only knew the granny stitch. So, I set out to search RUclips and I found your page back in 2016. You have taught me to crochet. Your videos are so easy to follow and understand. Now my mom and I have a a beautiful thing in common and crochet together and share yarn and I even teach her what i learn from you. And when people ask me how I learn I recommend your page. So THANK YOU so much! Just wanted you to know what you do is more than just teaching a beautiful craft!
This is going to be so much fun! I've always wanted to learn Tunisian Crochet, but was intimidated by it. Your video makes it look easy. I can't wait to learn this and other stitches this year. Thank you so much !
Jayda, I am so excited! Always wanted to learn this stitch!!! Can’t wait to get started! Thank you so much for you simple explanation of the stitches! You are the BEST!!! Yeah!!!!
Thank you Jayda. As ever, your tutorials are really easy to follow. It's fun to learn a new style of crochet. I found the curling up irritating so while I was working on the square, I put a few quilt clips along the bottom row to keep the "burrito" out of the way as a temporary measure (it seems to work). After finishing the 2021 CAL, I started the Folk Art Calendar Blanket but just had to try the Tunisian crochet as soon as I saw it. I now have two crochet WIPs to add to my sewing WIPs!!
Jada, I am doing the Knit Stitch with a heavier yarn, for the fun of it. I went back to the size 4 yarn, which Now is so much easier to crochet, and I have learned to keep my tension much looser. I am already using a larger hook but was still too tight with my tension. By Jove! I think I've got it! You are a marvelous teacher, but experience is the best! Thank you for the tutorials that I constantly go back to! I made my own little pattern cards, but seeing you make them is tons better than my own written patterns. Hoorah for you!
Great idea @JaydaInStitches 👏 I’ve got the hook and tons of yarn already 🧶 and have wanted to dedicate some time to Tunisian but you’re the best teacher on RUclips and would only do it with you 😍 I think my color pallet twill be neutral grays and maybe mushroom or sage border like yours 🤔 I’d love recommendations from whoever reads this comment. I can’t wait to start this evening once I get home from work. 🚗 💨💨💨
I am so freaking excited. I have been wanting to do Tunisian crochet and I was so waiting eagerly for this calendar Cal to start to see what you were going to do and I told myself I was going to do it no matter what but this makes it especially exciting. Thank you thank you thank you
Oh I love the chance to learn something new. Hook ordered. Can’t wait to start. Thank you for your tutorials. Last year was a first for me and I loved making the blanket. Hurry up Mr Postman I have work to do lol
I bought an afghan hook by mistake over 27 years ago and never used it because I was needing the double ended hook instead. It’s a Boye size J. Its been in a box ever since. I’m so happy I’m finally able to put it to use! I can’t wait to learn something other than the simple stitch. This is going to be fun!
I'm so So excited to start this. I JUST learned about this style from you a couple weeks ago and I'm ready to go!! Thanks Jayda. Looking forward to working on this throughout the year with you and your other subscribers. It's my first calendar blanket!
I LOVE learning to do something new like this. I can't wait to get my supplies and get started. Somewhere in my craft room I think I have the right kind of hook but I don't remember what size it is, so I'm going on a search mission in a few minutes. If it won't work then I guess I will do some quick online shopping!
Woo hoo! Finally my Tunisian hook arrived this morning. I ordered a 6.5m from furls. Oh my word, trying to crochet with hook & I'm all fingers & thumbs. Though once I'm used to using a tunisian crochet hook it'll get easier, as now I can follow your patterns each month 🤗
Yesss! So excited for this! I've been looking for something to do to get started with to learn more about tunisian crochet and here you are with a wonderful project for us. I'm super excited! Thank you so much for this. It's perfect! 😃💖
I have watched this first tutorial of the year umpteen times already.. not because I don't get it, but because I already had this project in cotton on the hook I want to use this year. I'm thrilled to know we are expanding our Tunisian repertoire... I only know this first one. And before I can start the blanket, I must finish another WIP! Not the worse thing in the world, now is it!!
WOW!! I haven't even watched yet and wow! I really don't know what I was expecting, because how could I, but I definitely wasn't expecting this! 👏💜 That green! I *LOVE* sage green! Husband and I bought a sage green living room set a couple years after we were married, we had also just recently got our second pomeranian, Snickers, who was teething.. you can imagine how that went! lol Yarn sausage LOL That is how I think of Tunisian crochet 🤣
I'm SO EXCITED! I have been wanting to learn how to tunisian crochet! I loved the 2021 calander blanket and I know I will love the 2022 calendar blanket! Thank you so much! Did I tell you that I'm EXCITED!!! ;)
If you start your first crochet row in the back bump, and pick up your last bar with the stitch behind it, then every single side of your square will have perfectly formed regular V stitches perfect for seaming or adding crochet onto!! :)
I was waiting for this video! So excited you're doing a Tunisian crochet blanket! I may even join you guys on your calendar blanket journey this year! I think I wanna do 12 different colors to get rid of some of my stash. How much yarn do we need for the border color?
OMG, you must know how to do every type of crochet ever made. I'm late but I'm gonna start now. Thank you so much for this tutorial. Oh wait I have to buy a hook. I will start as soon as I get a long hook.

Hi Robin! Nothing like a good excuse to hit up the craft store 😁
I've watched this video twice and I just caught the "little burrito" remark🤣. Totally cracked me up.❤

And it’s amazingly simple. She is a good teacher; I think because she has fun doing three things: knitting and crocheting 🧶, having a project while teaching others how to make something with her.👩🌾🧵🪡

Fantastic! Coming this Friday 😁

Thank you! I love to Tunisian crochet. This is going to be a fun project!!
Welcome to our New Calendar Blanket Project Kim!
I can't wait to start! This will be my first calendar blanket!
Wonderful!! Welcome to the project Becky!
Another new stitch to learn. Can't wait. Thank you for being a teacher as well as current occupation name. I appreciate all the little extra hints/help thrown in.
Thank you so much!
I love this idea for an afghan. I got new tunisian hooks for Christmas from my daughter who is an experienced tunisian crocheter. Have a great weekend Jayda & Mr. Institches.
Wonderful! What great timing 😁
Now I understand why people have unfinished projects laying around! I have a pair of fingerless gloves to finish, but I really want to start on this project, like yesterday! I have my hooks and yarns ready. You are singularly the best teacher that I have searched for! Thank you Jayda!
* giggle * YUP! WIPs have a way of piling up with so much fun inspiration around!
Ah, but since I was excited about using my new wool needles, I did indeed finish the gloves. I used to seriously dread weaving in the ends, but the new needle made it a breeze to finish. I can't wait to rate them on Amazon! 5 stars! On your recommendation! Thanks again!
OMG! I am so thrilled with this year’s blanket! I have a set of Tunisian crochet hooks that I have not used. I have watched Toni on TL Yarns do Tunisian crochet but have not attempted it myself. Your instruction is so clear that I will definitely be giving it a try! I’m anxious to learn the different stitches and complete another blanket this year with you. Thank you for your time! ~Janette ~
I have a set I’ll be “ breaking in “ as well and am so excited!
Wonderful! Welcome to our New Calendar Blanket Project!
I love the fact that all this info is so clear & I'm anticipating starting this blanket. Thank you.
Have some questions. I have an afghan hook but a different size so am going to give this a try with different dimensions. I plan to measure the starting chain, then add rows until roughly a square. Will that work as long as I start with the same number of chains and same number of rows usong the same weight yarn and same hook in each month's block? Or should I wait to order your size hook and go directly by your pattern? I'm really excited about learning different Tunisian stitches. I've done the simple stitch before but it was a long time ago and from your directions, I'm not sure I was doing it right! That was before RUclips so a really long time ago! Love your channel, and you and Mr. Institches' live videos as well as your great tutorials. I am always anxious for the next one. 💝
I've always wanted to learn Tunisian crochet. Yay!! 🧶❤
Wonderful!
I’m excited! Santa brought me Tunisian hooks for Christmas so I could learn these stitches. I’m thrilled you are teaching it!! Thank you Jayda!!!
Oooh Santa is on his game this year! Welcome to our New Calendar Blanket Project!
Great idea Jayda! I love Tunisian crochet! Looking forward to seeing which stitches you choose. I have to agree about blocking it. I’d do it immediately so there will be less to do at the end. Have a wonderful weekend! Thanks!
Hi Thea! I like looking at it all flat too 😁
I’m with you!🤗
I love cleared confident demos like this and seeing how differently some bits are done.
This is amazing, perfect timing! My crochet goal this year is to learn tunisian, I can't wait to follow along!!
Fantastic! Thank you for joining 😊
My sister has been admiring all the work I did with last year's calendar blanket and wants to learn. We are doing this one together. I'm so happy. Thank you Jayda for making your instructions to easy.
Wonderful! Welcome both of you, to our New Calendar Blanket Project!
Hello... To both of you 😊
I've only learnt to crochet in 2017 so, I'm still learning.😳
I'm watching how you do this tunisian simple stitch & I'm willing to learn 😱
I hope that you've both had a lovely Christmas. Sending my best wishes from Lancashire in England 🤗
Happy New Year Victoria!
@@JaydaInStitches Thank you!🤗
Decided I am going to complete my blanket in various shades of purple to celebrate HM The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
That's a "royally " inspired colour palette 😊
Love this, can't wait to learn other stitches
Wonderful!!
I taught myself how to Tunisian crochet a few months ago after wanting to learn for years. I have to say I didn’t really love it . I only made a few coasters and never made anything else. I had no desire to make a blanket or anything. I watched this video this morning. I was so excited to see the new calendar blanket. Kinda disappointed that it was Tunisian crochet. I made the 2021 calendar blanket and it was so much fun. I thought about it all day and I’m making this one!!!
Hi Tracy! Sometimes working these sorts of stitches in smaller samples (like blanket squares) is more fun! It's easier on our hands, and finishing off a square takes less time than a whole blanket. 😊
Hey Jayda, I'm really excited about this year's calendar blanket! I've always wanted to learn Tunisian crochet. I've had these Tunisian crochet hooks forever and never used them but I'm going to make the time to learn how to use them this year. I'm really interested in seeing everyone's projects. I think it would be great if you had a gallery video at the end of the year so we could see what everyone did.
Hi Vicki, thank you for the suggestion!
I just got the hooks yesterday and started my first square was able to do 28 rows last night. I'm super impressed bc I've never done Tunisian crochet b4 but with your super easy to follow tutorial it was very easy to do. 😀
Hi Nathalie, that's wonderful! Welcome to our New Calendar Blanket Project!
Yesss!!! I bought Tunisian hooks last year, and bought rainbow yarn recently... Can't wait to start this blanket!!
Also, been thinking of doing something with Tunisian... You read my mind!
Fantastic!!
I have never done much Tunisian crochet - bits and snippets, but this looks like it will be so much fun! I found an old blanket crochet hook that I had from the 80's! Here we go! 💜
Wonderful! Welcome to the project Denise!
Hi Jayden, you must have been reading our minds. I've been wanting to learn more of the Tunisian stitches for a long time. I'm familiar with this one. This is exciting!
Fantastic!
I've only dabbled in Tunisian, so this calendar blanket will get me more proficient. Your photography is so excellent, showing exactly where to put the hook, which I find hard with some Tunisian stitches. My first square could only be stretched to 11 inches but I'll just make them all that size.
Thank you so much Jolene 💗 Yes, 11 inches is just fine - consistency is the important part, we can always add more border rows to the blanket!
Tunisian is so much fun!! Yay! I just took some lessons at my favorite yarn shop recently! Thanks Jayda 😘
Great timing!
I absolutely love you Jayda and your videos! My mom as crochet for the longest, but she didn’t know how to teach me and she only knew the granny stitch. So, I set out to search RUclips and I found your page back in 2016. You have taught me to crochet. Your videos are so easy to follow and understand. Now my mom and I have a a beautiful thing in common and crochet together and share yarn and I even teach her what i learn from you. And when people ask me how I learn I recommend your page. So THANK YOU so much! Just wanted you to know what you do is more than just teaching a beautiful craft!
Hi Candice! Thank you so much! We're so happy to hear that 💗
This is going to be so much fun! I've always wanted to learn Tunisian Crochet, but was intimidated by it. Your video makes it look easy. I can't wait to learn this and other stitches this year. Thank you so much !
You're so welcome! Welcome to our New Calendar Blanket Project Debie!
I'm an absolute beginner at crochet, but I absolutely LOVE Tunisian crochet. I'm oddly better at it than other forms of crochet.
Wonderful tutorial as always! Inspired me to learn tunisian crochet 🧶 thank you!!
Wonderful! Welcome to our New Calendar Blanket Project Semira!
Just finished January! Can't wait to see what February will look like!!
Hi Amy! We'll see you there 😊
Jayda, I am so excited! Always wanted to learn this stitch!!! Can’t wait to get started! Thank you so much for you simple explanation of the stitches! You are the BEST!!! Yeah!!!!
That's wonderful!! Welcome aboard Lillian!
You explain this so easy now I have to get my stuff and come back and start this Tunisian project. Thank you
Wonderful! Welcome to the project Trish!
Thank you Jayda. As ever, your tutorials are really easy to follow. It's fun to learn a new style of crochet. I found the curling up irritating so while I was working on the square, I put a few quilt clips along the bottom row to keep the "burrito" out of the way as a temporary measure (it seems to work). After finishing the 2021 CAL, I started the Folk Art Calendar Blanket but just had to try the Tunisian crochet as soon as I saw it. I now have two crochet WIPs to add to my sewing WIPs!!
Wonderful! Great tip about the clips too, thank you for sharing 😊
Jada, I am doing the Knit Stitch with a heavier yarn, for the fun of it. I went back to the size 4 yarn, which Now is so much easier to crochet, and I have learned to keep my tension much looser. I am already using a larger hook but was still too tight with my tension. By Jove! I think I've got it! You are a marvelous teacher, but experience is the best! Thank you for the tutorials that I constantly go back to! I made my own little pattern cards, but seeing you make them is tons better than my own written patterns. Hoorah for you!
Hi Tonya! I agree, experience IS the best teacher 😊
Great idea @JaydaInStitches 👏 I’ve got the hook and tons of yarn already 🧶 and have wanted to dedicate some time to Tunisian but you’re the best teacher on RUclips and would only do it with you 😍 I think my color pallet twill be neutral grays and maybe mushroom or sage border like yours 🤔 I’d love recommendations from whoever reads this comment. I can’t wait to start this evening once I get home from work. 🚗 💨💨💨
That sounds beautiful Vicki!
I am over the moon about a Tunisian project with extra help from Jayda ! Happy happy happy!
Wooohooo!!! Welcome to our Blanket Melody 💗!
I am so freaking excited. I have been wanting to do Tunisian crochet and I was so waiting eagerly for this calendar Cal to start to see what you were going to do and I told myself I was going to do it no matter what but this makes it especially exciting. Thank you thank you thank you
That's wonderful! Welcome aboard Kareb!
I have been wanting to learn Tunisian crochet for years now. I am finally going to do it!!
Wonderful!
Oh I love the chance to learn something new. Hook ordered. Can’t wait to start. Thank you for your tutorials. Last year was a first for me and I loved making the blanket. Hurry up Mr Postman I have work to do lol
Woohoo!! 💗
I bought an afghan hook by mistake over 27 years ago and never used it because I was needing the double ended hook instead. It’s a Boye size J. Its been in a box ever since. I’m so happy I’m finally able to put it to use! I can’t wait to learn something other than the simple stitch. This is going to be fun!
Fantastic!
I'm so So excited to start this. I JUST learned about this style from you a couple weeks ago and I'm ready to go!! Thanks Jayda. Looking forward to working on this throughout the year with you and your other subscribers. It's my first calendar blanket!
How fun! I love Tunisian crochet. I'm excited to see which fancy stitches you have planned.
Wonderful! Welcome to our New Calendar Blanket Project Kelley!
I LOVE learning to do something new like this. I can't wait to get my supplies and get started. Somewhere in my craft room I think I have the right kind of hook but I don't remember what size it is, so I'm going on a search mission in a few minutes. If it won't work then I guess I will do some quick online shopping!
Hi Carole! Mine were hiding in with my knitting needles 😁
Woo hoo! Finally my Tunisian hook arrived this morning. I ordered a 6.5m from furls. Oh my word, trying to crochet with hook & I'm all fingers & thumbs. Though once I'm used to using a tunisian crochet hook it'll get easier, as now I can follow your patterns each month 🤗
Hi Victoria! New Tools, YAY! It's as good as getting a new toy 😉
Yesss! So excited for this! I've been looking for something to do to get started with to learn more about tunisian crochet and here you are with a wonderful project for us. I'm super excited! Thank you so much for this. It's perfect! 😃💖
Me too🤗 and I totally agree with you, you couldn't have said it better🥰
I have watched this first tutorial of the year umpteen times already.. not because I don't get it, but because I already had this project in cotton on the hook I want to use this year. I'm thrilled to know we are expanding our Tunisian repertoire... I only know this first one. And before I can start the blanket, I must finish another WIP! Not the worse thing in the world, now is it!!
Hi Robin! Having a WIP choice is a good thing...right?! 😁
WOW!! I haven't even watched yet and wow! I really don't know what I was expecting, because how could I, but I definitely wasn't expecting this! 👏💜
That green! I *LOVE* sage green! Husband and I bought a sage green living room set a couple years after we were married, we had also just recently got our second pomeranian, Snickers, who was teething.. you can imagine how that went! lol
Yarn sausage LOL That is how I think of Tunisian crochet 🤣
Snickers! * so adorable * Tunisian definitely turns itself into a sausage LOL
Makes adding an edging so much easier!
Wow wow wow can’t wait to start this years blanket thank you for something so different Jayda hope I can pick it up not done much before 😊Amanda xx💕
Hi Amanda! You'll love it, it's not nearly as complicated as it looks and it's SO fun once you get the hang of it!
@@JaydaInStitches I did it Jayda and yes I loved it can’t wait for the next square 💕xx
I am excited to learn Tunisian crochet
Welcome to our New Calendar Blanket Project Debbie!
I'm SO EXCITED! I have been wanting to learn how to tunisian crochet! I loved the 2021 calander blanket and I know I will love the 2022 calendar blanket! Thank you so much! Did I tell you that I'm EXCITED!!! ;)
Wonderful! Welcome aboard Diana 😊
I was not expecting tunisian but I'm totally in!
Woohoo! Welcome aboard Marie 😊
If you start your first crochet row in the back bump, and pick up your last bar with the stitch behind it, then every single side of your square will have perfectly formed regular V stitches perfect for seaming or adding crochet onto!! :)
That sounds interesting but I’m not sure what you mean by back bump?
@@debbiehannah4817 if you flip over your starting chain youll see the bump. It's not v shaped like the front, it's just a parallel line
@@Mm-hs8xq thank you! I’ll do that. I hate being a newbie lol
@@debbiehannah4817 everyone was a newbie at one point! No worries
Neat tip, thank you for sharing!
Looking forward to trying this out.
Thank you and your husband for the time you put in to make this videos
Thank you so much Nikki 💗
I was waiting for this video! So excited you're doing a Tunisian crochet blanket! I may even join you guys on your calendar blanket journey this year! I think I wanna do 12 different colors to get rid of some of my stash. How much yarn do we need for the border color?
She said that 200 yards would be enough for the individual borders and the overall border in December.
That's a great idea to use up stash. Think in ways I might keep using up stash even for border. This is going to be an interesting year/ blanket(s).
I'm new to crochet and have never done the Tunisian stitch before! So here goes! Can't wait to get started on this years blanket :) Thank you Jayda!
Hi Angela! Welcome to our New Calendar Blanket Project!
I am excited to do this as I love Tunisian crochet.
Hi Bella! Welcome to our New Calendar Blanket Project!
OMG, you must know how to do every type of crochet ever made. I'm late but I'm gonna start now. Thank you so much for this tutorial. Oh wait I have to buy a hook. I will start as soon as I get a long hook.
Welcome to our Totally Tunisian Blanket project!!
