    I sadly just had a friend pass. Her family gave me a few bins of yarn. This is perfect for what I have. Now we can all have a piece of “her”. She knit , I crochet; we were going to teach each other but we always got side tracked. This project touches my heart. I have followed almost all your videos. Thank you jadya you help more then you know. ❤️

    I made the second blanket using all my stash, leftover yarns. I made a twin sized blanket. Used 2 strands worsted weight yarn and a single crochet stitch throughout. Plus added a decent border. When my precious 13 yr old Brown Labrador Retriever Noah passed away, he was cremated with it. He was my buddy. And the blanket was a big part of me too. Thanks for your video.

    I'm a knitter, and always wanted to learn to crochet. I have oodles of old white and off-white skeins from my husband's aunt's stash that she gave me since her fingers don't really work anymore. Your tutorial is so easy to follow, and I think this blanket would look nice with the whites as the lights and all of my scrap colors as the darks! You've inspired me to give it a go! Thank you!!

      @@JaydaInStitches I did it! It took me just 10 days to stitch while watching TV, and it came out beautiful! A small issue with getting my tension right... I made the chain with a 10mm and then switched to a 9mm, but it's still slightly wider at the end than it was at the beginning. I made it pretty large, too, for the hubby and me to snuggle under on cold nights, 58×70". Now EVERYONE wants one! I have to buy more yarn since I busted my stash! LOL

    I saw this project a few months ago and just knew I had to make one once I finished with Christmas presents. Then just before Christmas my father had a heart attack and I had to pack on the fly for I didn't know how long. I am soooooo happy I filled my backpack with most of my yarn stash as I have been out of state with him during his rehab for 6 weeks! He has made a full recovery and instead on bringing home a bunch of odds and ends of yarn, I have the most amazingly beautiful blanket to return with!!! I am completely enamored with how it turned out. I want to ask all of my friends for all of their scrap yarn and make more of them!
    Thank you for your tutorials and your whimsical nature! I have only been crocheting for a bit over two years and am self taught from RUclips videos like yours. You inspire me to have fun with my projects and to take a basic idea and change it up to make it my own. I look forward to many more videos from you!!!

I'll have to pull out my whole stash and go through them all, and see what I can whip together! Feeling very excited now! And I'm headed to JoAnns/Hobby Lobby tomorrow to get the final touches for my third blanket, so even more additions to come for my scrappy blanket project. If it's big enough, I'll leave it at a family house my relatives go to for short vacations. I think they'd really enjoy it!

    Those granny stitches.. I only saw those squares at about 4x4 inches. I am SO going to make that blanket.
    And that other one.. well... I just started crocheting three weeks ago, so I don't have any scraps yet, but oh boy, I definitely will be making that one too... one day. And that day will be soon. Yesterday, my sisters took me to this absolutely fabulous yarn shop, which is run by three of the sweetest old ladies (in their 80s, mind you) and I bought some 15 balls of yarn. It felt like being a kid in a candy store.
    BTW, two days ago I started on your big beautiful basket of variegated yarn. It's going to be an awesome basket to store my yarns and projects (yes, I am already working on three different projects after finishing my very first amigurumi). I think I'm "hooked".

    I have to say that I was fascinated by how you hold the yarn in your left hand. It looks like a better way than how I do it and maybe my fingers won't cramp up so much. I'm going to give this a try although I know it will take a bit of practice. Thanks for the great video and ideas.

    I recently bought a 10 mm hook just for this. I wanted to do a scrappy blanket anyways so I clicked this video more out of principle than interest, because I already have a plan. BUT I do love your style and there‘s always something of worth to take away from your instructions, such as the color sorting.
    Edit: I mentioned the color sorting specifically because I went and bought a big ball of white yarn as my base, but your sorting into light and dark makes so much sense! Oh well. I‘ll keep that in mind for next time. =)

I then just did the number of chains for a 4x4 square... and it came out PERFECT.... thank you thank you! See your inspiring OTHER projects with your original hehe.... You rock! Have a wonderful Weekend!!!!

  • @Mrs.Silversmith
    @Mrs.Silversmith 5 лет назад +2

    You got my attention with that pokeball blanket in the background! Very cute!* If you need to check the fiber for wool vs. acrylic yarn, just crochet a loop of chain stitches (like the size of a wristband) and put it through the washer/dryer with your next load of laundry. You'll be able to see that wool shrinkage right away and avoid a headache of using the wool for something you want to be dryer friendly.

    I just love this blanket and I have watched this video at least a dozen times admiring it!! But it is just too warm for here in Hawaii!! I have solved the problem. I am going to make this blanket for Comfort For Critters. They make small blankets (about 20 x 20 inches square) for sick or injured animals in the hospital. Our local humane society participates so no need mail them to Illinois!!! I am so happy I have finally figured this out!! All the sick animals will love you!!!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Thank you!!!😀😀‼️

    • @JaydaInStitches
      @JaydaInStitches  6 лет назад +5

    I checked with my local Walmart as well as Michael's. Unfortunately the large eye needles were not being sold in either store. However, I did find them on Amazon. They are called "Pony Aluminum wool needles" and they are sold in a 3 pack. Thanks again for your great videos.

      Hello W. Valdez. My name is Ava and I tried to purchase the wool needles when Jayda mentioned them several months ago. I found them online from Canada. In order to purchase a package of 3 I would have to spend $200.00 first. I have fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis which makes it difficult at times. I saw last week you commented you had found them online from Amazon. I went to the sight and needless to say they will delivered tomorrow! Thank you, thank you for sharing! Happy crocheting!!

    I have almost finished mine. I'm using 2 strands of recycled ( reclaimed) yarn and a N hook. Since this yarn is some of that horrible nasty scratchy '70's acrylic, It will be a wonderful, durable rug. I needed a new rag rug in the kitchen and as soon a s I saw this pattern I knew it would be perfect! 2 problems solved, a new rug for the kitchen and what to do with my mother's stash!

    • @JaydaInStitches

      Thank you Becky! My hubby really liked this one, he said it reminds him of these beautiful woven blankets he'd seen in Mexico :) I absolutely adore this kind of scrapghan. I've made many of the granny square type (including one out of nothing but pastels which was just gorgeous) and it's just awesome how it eats up all those odd lengths, discontinued skeins, unmatched colours...whatever! Then all that yarn isn't taking up storage space, it's on display!!

    This turned out great, I was a little skeptical at first with the color combinations, but because they are only done for short runs it turned out to be a stunning blanket. I also incorporated eyelash yarn but only carried it for short blocks with three yarns (light, dark, and eyelash) then would drop the eyelash yarn and then pick it back up going the other direction. All in all a smashing success and I already have family requests for more.
