My granddaughter is 10 years old. 2 days ago one of her friends passed away. Everyone is so sad. But what we're doing in her memory is hanging beautiful pink items on our trees in front porches. I've been crocheting little pink hearts and stars and pink bows all day. I just came across this lovely tutorial! Perfect. I just finished the most beautiful pink wind spinner. So tomorrow my granddaughter and I will be hanging these in her front yard and memory of her beautiful friend Reganâ€
Oh Iâm so sorry to hear about your granddaughterâs friend, so sad. What a wonderful thing for everyone to do and Iâm touched that one of my projects will be a part of this wonderful tribute, hugs to everyone affected by this angels passing, Anja x
I love these spinners. Made three for my front porch. Made one for a spin mobile for a new babies crib, now I am making two for some gifts. They are so relaxing that I donât know when I will stop. I am 83 years old and these so relaxing. They keep my blood pressure down.
How do they hold up to weather? Rain and such
crocheting does that for me too! I've read somewhere that designers will put 3 of their design or planters or tiles together for ascetics . NOW i get to go male 2 more for my patio! Thanks
@@maryannwinchester5038Iâd recommend bringing in when raining or snowing outside in the summer time mainly
I am 80 and I just found this site while looking for leftover yard ideas and found her. That episode was the most informative and fun episode of any I have run across. Quickly Subscribed and I donât after do that
I want to thank you. This was terrible easy to follow. Was in accident and lost part of my memory but following you I've relearned to crochet.đđ
Thank you once again. Texas
Oh Gina, your words have warmed my heart, I love to hear stories like this, it makes everything worthwhile, thank you Anja x
What a fabulous tutorial, but I think it should come with a warning! These are seriously addictive đ I have made 8 in a matter of days I love them. I have 3 hanging from a tree in my garden that I can see from my armchair they are quite mesmerising. I have hung the rest on a pergola at the front of my house, hopefully passerbyâs will enjoy seeing them. Thank you for sharing your awesome talent.
They are addictive. They will def. bring a smile on the faces of the passers by.
Yes I've made loads.
How amazing I get addicted too I canât ever sit down with out crocheting now ,going to make this right now x
I love this idea and canât wait to try them. I have a question though, what happens if it rains and they get wet. Do they still spin nicely when they dry?
@@cheriarmstrong5256 Hi. Considering I live in England there hasnât been much rain at all since I hung them out! But what little rain weâve had hasnât affected them too much, I use acrylic yarn which seems to dry ok. Iâve also started crocheting over some strimmer wire on the last row, which really helps them hold their shape. Hope this helps âșïž
If you start with 50 ch, each row would be as follows:
1) 50 ch
2) 50 sc
3) 100 dc
4) 300 dc
5) 300 sc
Please understand that I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE PATTERN.
I only provided the stitch total in each row, as she commented on not knowing the stitch count.
IT IS NOT THE PATTERN!
WATCH THE VIDEO FOR THE PATTERN!
Life is too short for all this counting! Enjoy making your spinner!! Anja xxx
The only counting I did was when I was chaining. 100 chains đ
Thank you for doing this ,great idea .
Thank you
If I started with 50 chains, about how long would my spinner end up being?
All the people that had phone cords growing up will have no problem curling it at the end lol. I love this project so much! Thank you
Haha đ thatâs also what I was thinking about while watching!! How many of you had one of those Super Long phone cords to walk around the house?
(klm
Ty for Sharing đ
@@conniestone6251 thanks for reminding me of the great memories of stretching that cord from dining rm, to my bedroom for privacy to talk to my bf,
40+ yrs ago.
@@francesmartinez1576 Haha đ yes, oh all of the secrets those cords held!
Fun memories for me, as well. đ
I made this đ and it is quick, easy and very beautiful and I will be making a whole bunch more using my scrap yarn for Christmas gifts this year. Last year I made 100 of your crochet tissue boxes (best pattern on CZcams) ordered plastic cellophane bags with ribbon, wrapped each one individually and donated them to our local hospital cancer wing for new patients starting chemotherapy. I purchased all the tissue boxes at the Dollar Tree. The patients sit in a large room together, were so Happy and really enjoyed the gifts !!! đđđ Thank you for sharing your talents with all of us. Lots of Love from California !
I have more ideas coming up on Friday and Saturday this week!
I wish I could add a picture!!! I've made two!!! Starting back up after shoulder surgery. I'm SO happy to be able to crochet again!!!
Great news, take it steady though, Anja x
@Ophelia Talks most definitely. Shoulder won't let me do much lol.
A project without a tassel is like a day without sunshine :)
These are so pretty and whimsical, i love them. I think these would make perfect Random Acts of. Crochet Kindness items to leave around for people to find.
Great idea !!!â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Iâm going to do some of these to hang in the tree outside my local preschool.
Thank you for this tutorial, I am going to make one for my mum who has Alzheimerâs, she will love it. I will make lots of them so the other residence at the care home can all have one. đđ§¶
Such a fun project Anja, I want to make these in red, green & white for Christmas. đđ§¶c
That's an excellent idea â„ïž
Yes, just what I was thinking too. Also perhaps using some novelty gold yarn to make even more festive.
Bloody good idea for chrimbo!đđŒ
I did the same
I made a couple of these Christmas spinners last year and added sparkly gold to reds, greens, white. My daughter loves them! Oh and I ended each with a big round bell (instead of a tassel). They ring when brushed against, or opening the door if placed instead of a wreath decoration.
Thank you so very much Anja xx I made one with 100 chains for my friends. I snuck down to her house last night & hung it on her arbour for a wonderful morning surprise :) I used confetti yarn (off-white with brightly colored bits in it) along with a rainbow color-changing yarn. So bright & cheerful! Now to make mine but not as long, lol!
Whoa! Can you show me that yarn or do you have links to it?
@@gerlinderosensteiner8250 of course :) The rainbow confetti yarn is Bernat Premium Tweeds in the colorway 'Rainbow - www.walmart.ca/en/ip/bernat-premium-tweeds-yarn-198g7oz-rainbow-tweed/6000202652010?skuId=6000199841654&cmpid=SEM_CA_79_7X4FYVDXJZ_71700000053641836_58700005127848074&SEM_CA_79_7X4FYVDXJZ_71700000053641836_58700005127848074&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=CjwKCAjwgviIBhBkEiwA10D2j_lAJw04ssoTQn5hcaY_RqSRoXzElJ5kHzei0UYje07ISyx6GEmPphoCL2wQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
The Rainbow color changing yarn is Redd Heart Super Saver Color Block in the colorway 'Rainbow'. I strangely couldn't find it, but here is one similar, mine is much brighter tho - www.walmart.com/ip/Red-Heart-Super-Saver-Color-Block-Yarn-Party-Time-10oz-283g-Acrylic/763472647
I hope that I helped you out :) Have a wonderful safe day!
Me too! I just kept chaining!! Iâm sure itâs a least 6â long. It will work outside for. Hope the cats donât find it.
@@ann-brittbjurhult4997 My Friends Daughter loved it so much she hung it up in her room. Wayyyyyy high bc her cats *were* attacking the tassel, lol!
@@gerlinderosensteiner8250 I found the other rainbow one!!! - www.yarnspirations.com/ca-en/red-heart-super-saver-color-block--rainbow/E308-9268.html
Every year, I do Halloween for my grandkids, this year to add to my collection ,wind spinners.Purple orange, ect Thank you for my this years project, I was stumped
Hi Ophelia, the post I left on Facebook about your spinner is going crazy! Over 90 likes and so many more people posting photos of there spinners! It is such a cool design! Thank you.
Thank you Anya, I live in a caravan so this will be a lightweight decoration. A very simple gift for anyone.
What a fun bow on a baby gift these would make or holiday colored bowsâŠa d layer. Baby could giggle at it over the bed hanging.
This is a great idea.,...I teach crochet at the local Senior citizen's.center.. My girls have forgotten everything I taught them after the center closed for 18 months.. It's been driving me nuts to figure how to get them to go back and practice their stitches. This is OUR next project!!!!!!!! LGB. YEah!!!
Thank you Anya for the great idea. I was going to hang one in my flower bed, where hummingbird & all sort of bird & butterfly visit my garden but in doing a little research, I find out wind spinner are scary for birds so I will have to find the spinner another location so the birds can continue to visit my garden to feed on the many flowers.
I'm addicted.
6 made so far.
Great Christmas gift idea. I've added some trinkety angel things to some for the granddaughters and old necklace pendants (stone type) to others
I love this! I shared this with Random Acts of Crochet Kindness on Facebook and people are loving it! Thank you
Thanks for sharing!!
So many are making them in that Facebook group. You should find the group and join it and have a look at all the posts!

Wow, thank you Anja! You've rekindled done great memories đ my grandmama ( great grandma) used to make these when I was a really small girl. I wild dance and play with them. She loved to hang them from the window valence in the very large bay window in her kitchen. As well as from the porch in the lil house out back where my Great Great Grandmama lived. I got my love of baking from her as well. Well always be a pie and cobbler girl over cakes any day !đ„°
Have a delightful day AnjaâŁ
Ps. I can't wait to share this with my youngest granddaughter who loves to Chet ( learning) at 6 years old. đ€
Thank you. Something different for me to make and leave out for my Random Acts of Crochet Kindness

Iâm going to make for all seasons and as many holidays I can think of. Above comment mentioned Bells for Christmas and I might do any kind of decor instead of tassel for variety.
We need to learn how to make it in the shape of a christmas tree.
This is so lovely! My sis gave me many small balls of yarn that I had no idea what to do with, thank you so much for sharing this!

Youâre welcome đ I do try and make my designs easy to understand, glad you like it, Anja x
I once bought some acrylic yarn and made a sweater with it . I hated it and threw it away . Now I know what to do with the skeins I have left over :)
Perfect!!
Thank you Anja for this wonderful tutorial. It was the most relaxing project Iâve ever done. I'm definitely going to make many more! As you warned, I did have a problem of curling on the last row but I believe I overcame that by switching to a hook one size higher. Immensely addicting!
Just finished my wind spinner! Did not like my color combo when starting itâŠ.but it turned out amazing!!! Thank you for this awesome little eye catching project!
How fun! I can't wait to try this. I'm stuck in a 300 st count temperature blanket that is all consuming. Nightmarish lol
What a fun project to make and gift!! Thank you for this pattern. I just made one for my Grandson. :)
