Cats, lighting, microphones, errors, and exhaustion...I did it all today!
Day 1 of The Spider Stitch Blanket Crochet Along
4-Medium weight yarn
I / 5.5 mm hook
Chain 151 + 2

Row 2: Single crochet in the first stitch, skip a stitch, work a spider stitch in the next stitch, skip next stitch, REPEAT, single crochet in the last stitch of the row. (74 spider stitches) Chain 2 and turn.
Repeat Row 2 for the rest of the blanket.

I like the quiet too

Came for the spider stitch, stayed for Bandit 😻
You and me both!
Love your cat the helper.❤❤❤😊
Thank you! 😊
no background music, it's distracting to me, love the quiet , especially when learning a new stitch. Also just found your channel and I love it. Have been catching up on all your videos.
Awesome! Thank you!
I just found your channel. You are real and honest, and I appreciate it. Please don't feel bad, I crocheted an entire double crochet blanket and screwed up the sides, 😊lol
Thank you for being here!!
Girl… don’t beat your self up😂 it totally worked out in the end! I haven’t started yet, because I have to finished 2 wips 😜🤣 but so can not wait🙌🏻🧶 thank you doing this!!!!
Thank you so much!
I love you You are not like the other videos you are real and not afraid of showing your mistakes or how to correct them the other videos I have watched are all perky and come across is just perfect people who crochet I’m a lot like you. I hate ripping out my blankets, but when a mistake is made, I have to do that. Thank you so much again I will be following you.❤
Thank you so much. I think perfection is highly over-rated!
I like quiet and I like your realistic style...thanks
I appreciate that! Thank you
I have frogged many many times until I find the right stitch that goes with the yarn that suits me. I feel for you. That's for showing the spider stitch. Love it!
Thank you
Thank you for this crochet along. Your error and fix was instructive. We are here for tips on troubleshooting too. I also liked the tips including first sc row before you start the pattern
You're welcome!
Good day great video ❤
It’s a beautiful Stitvh… The texture is so nice. I’m going to fo a swatch… to -racticr. I have serioys vision issues, so will use a larger hook.. Thanks for teachung us this simple, beautufuk stitvh.
I applaud your determination to stick to the project. I admit that I gave up on the spider stitch after a few tries. I find it annoying to do. I even tried a larger hook size so I could see the spaces better but it didn’t look as nice. Your blankets are beautiful.
I'm so sorry that the spider stitch didn't work out for you! It can be a bit tricky.
This was fun to watch. I do the same thing, I’ve been trying to do this stitch in a 10 inch square and have ripped it out 4 times so far, I start out with 10 inches and by the time I get to the middle I’m at 11 or so, I’ve dropped down 2 hook sizes so far and I think I’ve found it. I saw your finished blanket and it was amazing, that’s why I’m watching your series.
I hope my videos can help.
I like the quiet relaxing
You did good job don't be stressing out. Crochet is very forgiving I find it easy to fix mistakes .
It all worked out in the end!
Quiet is good, thanks
Hey Mom, is that your way of saying that I talked too much?? lol
This is gonna be fun! I’m on Instagram and Facebook. I’m 32 years old. :)
You’re doing great! Don’t be so hard on yourself. ❤
Thank you so much!!
Hi, I learned to crochet chains using my fingers, watching my grandma, when I was 5. That was 60 years ago. Please don’t beat yourself up over this mistake! I know you want it to be perfect for everybody watching, but we all make mistakes no matter how long we’ve been doing it. You ask what social media we are on? I’m on Facebook and Twitter a little, also Rumble but I don’t think that would work for communicating with each other that well. Anyway just found you today, I enjoy your channel, you are a very good teacher!
Thank you and welcome to my channel
New sub here. Late to the cal but I’m going to pick my colors.
Welcome!!
Hello Bandit, thank you for helping Jennie with the CAL! I use stitch markers every 10 stitches to help me keep track of starting chains too. My mind wanders too much (wonder if I have ADD or ADHD, because I should not have difficulty losing track with simple counting so often). I enjoyed seeing how you hold your tension - probably a weird thing for me to say, but I struggled with how to hold my yarn with good tension when first learning so now it fascinates me how many different ways folks hold their working yarns. I think it is important to 'celebrate the little twins' with TA DA!s - so don't be afraid to give yourself a little 'TA DA!' when your chain count is correct. 😉 So, PLEASE don't beat yourself up, I find starting blankets are the trickiest part. If you chain 2 at the end of each row for the next row - aren't you supposed to put the FIRST sc in the FIRST row in the THIRD stitch from the hook? Is that right? I mean, if your count is right, and you didn't miss any stitches in row 2? I WAS going to make mine in candy corn colors but since I have to begin late and wait until my hands heal I am probably switching mine up (told you I was indecisive, right? 😉) I like patterns that don't have any dc stitches in them - for some reason, dc stitches tend to make my hands hurt faster than other stitches (and I was doing a project that was primarily dc stitches before I hurt my hands). Dystopias are my favorite kind of read, followed by scifi. Right now I started A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore, but it has been so long I probably have to start over. I don't enjoy reading as much since I needed readers (though they don't interfere with my love of crochet... 😉). I want to be better soon so I am crochet along with you guys... ☹ I only am Facebook (not Instagram or Twitter or TikTok, FB is enough of a time s-ck away from crocheting as it is 😉) Glad you are taking breaks and stretching and resting - you don't wanna end up like me! ❤ Meredith
Stitch markers are very handy!! No, not weird...I find it fascinating how other people hold their hooks and yarn. We are all so different! I'm still loving the idea of candy corn colors! Just rest and heal, we will still be here crocheting when you're ready!!
I started with navy blue , which I’m second guessing . Then I have fall colors from my stash. I change my mind often with color placement. Thanks for doing this.
I like navy blue, it should look nice with some fall colors. Mustard yellow, burnt orange, deep red...wow, now I want to make a second blanket...lol
I just found your channel today and I think your videos would be absolutely perfect for a left hand person but I'm used to people having their camera behind them and just showing the stitching up close.so I'm having a hard time seeing the stitch. I love your blanket and stitch and I love peace and quiet.I'm only on Facebook. You seem like a very nice person too and I'm happy that you have closed captioning because I have very limited hearing. Never beat yourself up for mistakes. Those who seem like they never make a mistake are only hiding that fact.We are all human and the only person that was ever perfect was Jesus. Just a half hour ago I had to rip out 6 rows of a very wide blanket because of a mistake that I couldn't hide in any was. :It's frustrating for sure
I’m a true Virgo. I rip my mistakes out & start over.
It’s ok! Don’t stress. I’m lucky if my sc count is right more than 2 times.
Me too!
My large granny square blanket has a multi pinks then white followed by a little grey.
Nice!
I love how all your blankets look !!! If there were any missing stitches, you really can't notice it. I did the chain of 153, but put the first spider stitch in the very first stitch (being that the ch 2 does not count as a stitch)however I came up with 76 spider stitches???????? If I'm wrong please let me know. Keep up the awesome work!!!!!!! Looking forward to your next project.
Sorry it has taken so long to answer, I didn't do a spider stitch in the first stitch, I started the row with a single crochet and ended the row with single crochet, the spider stitch started is in between the singles
Hi Bandit!❤
Bandit says "Hey, you got any treats?" lol
@@jennie-grannysquarepeg you tell Bandit "Always!"
I’m using fall colors I just started mine today 11/16
Quiet is good...
Ah, yes. Thank you.
I prefer the quiet so I can concentrate.
I agree, the music is too much!
You are a charming lady.
I am pretty sure most of us crochet the same way yiu do… and we keep on stitching anyway… Crochet really is forgiving…in a way knitting is not… ‘
U;M 80yo, with severe Glaucima, and crochet every single day. I, too, prefer blsnketd…althiugh I knit snd crichet hsts for charity, snd gifts… I love yiur chsnnel;… Been here sunce the beginning…althiugh was absent forvAndy little whike…I thiught yiu had stopped doing yiur podcasts. Glad I was wrung❤❤ 46:59

WE all make mistakes, and we all fudge a luttke… it’s the nature if our craft,,, 👍💜
oh and another thing..I'm laughing because I put stitch markers in my mouth too I keep thinking that one of these days I'm going to accidentally swollow one... :)
Me too, lol
you can also do fsc foundation single crochet :))
Yeah but most people struggle with the foundation sc, so it's just easier this way.
Oops I mean light grey.
I fudge at times. Depends if it gets the whole alignment off or not.
Yeah, I fudge a lot!! But for the sake of the crochet along - no fudging allowed!! lol
I do Twitter, there are other crochet channels there.
Can I do a chain 2 instead of a chain 1 ? Jw
Yes, absolutely!
I only do FB
I do Facebook and Instagram. I'm 45 and from Australia.
I just created grannysquarepeg at instagram...
I only use RUclips.
Typically how long is baby blanket
As long and tall as the baby?! lol
Spider stitch
Hello people! I'm super new to crochet. Ive attempted to learn several times earlier in life but it just seemed like a foreign language!! But, RUclips helped so much seeing from a birds eye view and slowly taking one baby step at a time. Here's my issue.... And i know practice is what's going to ultimately help, but my chaining... Getting it not too loose but not so tight that i can't get him through it??? It's it better to use thicker yarn or thinner for beginners? Should i use a hook size bigger than recommended?? I just need some pointers... And all my colors i pick are on the dark side, would a lighter color be easier for me to get correct placement?? Because i tend to do extra stitches or skip at times cuz it's hard to see?!
Lighter color yarn for sure, like white, yellow, pink, it'll be much easier to see the stitches. Also, lighting. Keep a lamp close to where you're sitting, have it positioned so you can see your hands. For me good lighting/lamps have been the ultimate tool to help with crocheting. Don't forget about your tension, the way you hold the hook, to the way you hold the yarn, they also contribute to tightness or looseness with the stitches. Hope this helps!! I will be doing tutorial videos as soon as I'm done with my project pile. This is a good idea for a video.
Do everything except TicToc
I haven't joined tik tok either
If you chain 152 single crochet in second chain from hook that should be 151
I really don't know, I seem to do things a little different than everybody else. Check out today's video, I explain the way I handle the questions of second or third chain from the hook.
I find music on crochet videos very distracting
especially if the music is loud, I don't mind too much if it's quiet music
Oh I forgot, I do fb, instagram,ticktock 😂
