    I have been crocheting for 4 years. Experienced crocheters have just told me how to figure it all out. That was so discouraging to a beginner.
    Now I have a solid formula that will go into my binder that will be my master copy. A very huge heartfelt Thank you Tiffany 🎉

  • @guiltyhedonist
    @guiltyhedonist Месяц назад +1

    This is great! The one problem with both of these methods is that it means you need to buy at least one "starter skein" before you know how much you will need. Some of us live 50 miles from where we can buy yarn or need to order online. So, either we may over or under-buy initially or will need to make another trip or wait on another order to be delivered to get the rest of the yarn - and run the danger of getting different dye lots. But this is great info! Thanks!

    • @CrochetWithTiffany
      @CrochetWithTiffany  25 дней назад +1

      Totally understand your situation! Honestly the BEST way to figure out exactly how much yarn you will need it to make a swatch. I have a whole Swatch Series where I show you exactly how I figure out how many stitches, rows AND approximately how much yarn I will need for a blanket project just from a swatch. But no matter what, you will have to have some yarn on hand that matches the size of the yarn you will use to figure out how much yarn you will need. With so many yarns having different thicknesses, different amounts of yards in the skein, all the different patterns, different blanket sizes AND the different stitch tension one might have, it is just impossible to provide accurate information without sampling first. 🤷🏼‍♀️💖🧶

  • @lauracora5512

    @suestutzle2779 3 года назад +4

    Thank you Tiffany. I do feel spoilt, you really look after us. This information is invaluable. Now I am in the know. I usually buy a few skeins of yarn, start off and hope for the best. Now I can be more mathematical about the whole process and not be inconvenienced by having too much left over or not enough!! Happy New Year.

    @grammy4255 Год назад +2

    You made a comment about starting your foundation row using a larger size hook (one up). I've noticed that my foundation row tension is a bit tighter than the rest & this should help me immensely. So often I just fly by the seat of my pants with a project.
    I just started crocheting this past December(2021). I've always admired items I've seen & FINALLY said "enough" & started watching RUclips to teach myself the basics. I can't tell you how much I enjoy this art. I also have been working on loom knitting for 4+ years yet lately I've been doing more crochet projects than loom kintting. Every project, though not perfect, has taught me so much to apply toward another project. Thank you!

    So I have to make the blanket in order to find out how many skeins I need to make the blanket, hmmmm. I am not a newbie but by far not a pro but this seems a waste of time and yarn. The 4x4 swatch seems to be easier, less time consuming, & no yarn consumption.
    However, not everybody uses the same methods so I can appreciate how you have presented a different alternative method for all of us.

    Tiffany gracias. This will help me in the future. Sometimes I have to frog a whole blanket because I make it too long and I do not have enough yarn to finish. Now I try to make them smaller and start the border with the same yarn. If it is not big enough I used colors to make them bigger. I order yarn on sale with no specific project in mind. Most of my creations are for donations and at the same time, I learned different patterns. Every time I am ordering yarn my honey tells me "Make sure you buy extra, I do not want to hear, I do not have enough to finish this project". LOL. This video will be very helpful, thank you. Papa Dios te bendiga.

    I used one ball to start my sugarplum blanket (although I'm using grey, not very sugarplum 😄 ), did the width I wanted and then kept going until I'd used up the ball... then I measured and ordered the amount I needed to finish. I think I'll stick to using proper dimensions in future, to make my life easier. Sometimes you don't want 9 million balls of leftover yarn (right? 👀😄 )
