Ophelia! I just found your channel last week. You are such an inspiration! Because of you, I am working on my 1st Granny Square blanket. Your channel is now my very favorite. Thank you from America!
Beautiful blanket and I will be making it from my own stash of yarn.. I always learn so much from you, Anja. Your blankets are all so impressive. Thanks for sharing your talent with the crochet world. Love, from Texas, USA.
Hi Ophelia, found your channel this morning as I was looking for answers to a wonky blanket I made, and saw your very helpful tutorial about turning a granny square so it keeps its shape. I find that a lot of my blankets that I do row by row (as you have done in this one) end up dipping in the middle, I dont know why! I watched this video this afternoon and found it so restful and calming, the music is a wonderful addition. And you explain is a very calm and even manner, just lovely to watch and listen to. Thank you. Will be watching more - very inspiring. x
Anja, I wonder if sometime you might discuss how you decided which colors to put next to each other in the blanket, what goes into making decisions related to colors and crocheting, etc...maybe that could be a Sunday night topic? I'd love to hear about it and I'm sure other crocheters would also. I thought your Harlequin blanket choice of colors were particularly pretty. Thank you!
Finally a granny “row” pattern I understand 😮 I have tried several other patterns but the beginning and end of rows differ so much on each row. I’m working on this right now but with a variegated yarn. Love it!❤
Ma'am, I have been crocheting since I was 10 years old(am now 58) learned how to do this craft at 5 years old by watching my grama for hours at a stretch. You're the first person to explain-with visual aids-how to do a "granny cluster" stitch, AND, it made perfect sense to me! I'm a guy, left handed, I crochet left handedly (backwards left to right)! You lost me at the turning of the stitch. I'm not as advanced as I should be due to "the look" I always get from instructors. Like I'm an alien from planet Zorg! I've not been able to get beyond the standard of single stitch because of the way I got looked at for being backwards. I hesitate to ask you where can I go in contacting someplace to get print-out instructions, with pictures for visual aids in learning some 9 other stitches, so I can advance my skill level finally, after 53 years. Might you be able to direct me to the place to contact for assistance? Doug🥺💔
Hmmmm that's a tricky one Doug, l have several patterns that are available as PDFs on my site, but no specific stitch patterns, most of my tutorials are in video format, have you tried Pinterest? Good luck in your quest, Anja x
I love all of your blankets Anja. I have l enjoyed your channel so much I just placed a large order of Stylecraft Special DK so I will use that for this and the wonderful blanket coming up on Wednesday. Your patterns are so beautiful and I love your tutorials. Thank you so much. Iowa, USA 🥰❤
Anna - adore this blanket. What is the difference between Stylecraft Special DK yarn and the Wendy Supreme DK? I love the Special DK except it splits a bit and the skeins most of the time are one big knot trying to find the beginning. But it’s very soft and huge color variety.
Anja, is this basically the same as the "easy scrap blanket" you did a while back? Maybe just a bit different with the borders and such? Trying not to get confused. 😆
I thought I was the only one that made blankets for my cat. Unfortunately, she doesn’t like them. She gets caught up in blankets that aren’t really fine. Oh well. One of these days I’ll find one she likes.
I love your channel. Awesome designs. Love the blanket but I think this blanket would be so much more beautiful in a natural yarn. Acrylic is plastic and doesn't breath so the blanket would be so hot.
Hi Anja, TY for an easy to understand granny stitch in rows tutorial. The blanket is really pretty and so colorful. 🧶🫂
You are so welcome! Anja x
The blanket on a whole is very nice with all the color's, the border tops it off perfectly...
Love the Layla size for my Selina. Love the colors , have too order more .
Very nice blanket.. wherever you live, it’s beautiful!
That border really did turn out really nice,,, I love the way it looks...
Ophelia! I just found your channel last week. You are such an inspiration! Because of you, I am working on my 1st Granny Square blanket. Your channel is now my very favorite. Thank you from America!
I know the feeling, I am working one now. I started with 198 stitches, using #4 hook🤗
I just started a bigger blanket with your vintage color pack and I love how it’s looking so far! Thank you for your tutorials!

Hi, I think she is picking a yarn that has a high contrast between the two surrounding colors. Hope that helps.

Hi anya to make this for a baby how many chains would you use thank you
I love your channel. Awesome designs. Love the blanket but I think this blanket would be so much more beautiful in a natural yarn. Acrylic is plastic and doesn't breath so the blanket would be so hot.
Gracias 😍👌🇦🇷
Thank you Mirta, Anja x
Is this using the UK terms or the USA terms? Just checking to be sure.
USA terms
I love your videos, but your music at the beginning is so loud 😅 scares me every time
Ummmmm, maybe turn the volume down before you click on the video Kolthoffkrafts! Thank you, Anja x
