Totally agree about pattern prices!!! While it's a 'cost' for the buyer, it is worth supporting the artist and them making a wage 👏
Nice pink hair 🩷🫰

[@AsiaFromBrooklyn]

Love the pink hair 💗 I’m going to make this. It’s so cute!

[@kanjifaith6619]

The chaos of this video is fantastic and I really enjoyed working on granny squares with you!

[@lauren2971]

The way you did your magic circle version on your first two digits makes so much sense to my brain! It made me realize I have been secretly struggling this whole time 🤣

[@mrsmoonheaven]

omg i’m so happy to have helped!!!

[@WanderingWools]

Nice pink hair. Also love granny squares but always hate connecting them anything that shows how to connect as you go is worth it!!! 💙💜💚

[@mrsmoonheaven]

AGREED!!!

[@PassioKnitKelsie]

You are so funny, I love your editing style so much

[@mrsmoonheaven]

tysm kelsie. you know this is extremely high praise for me.

[@AliPop97]

I love your videos. I love all your crochet work and you give us much hope for granny squares. Thank you.💕

[@mrsmoonheaven]

thank you!!!!! 💖💖

[@ASquareGranny]

Love your pink hair!!!
Your videos make my heart so happy! Maybe I should have adopted a daughter? Four sons, two grandsons with a third on the way…. I digress!
Your videos make me happy and your patterns are on my list; even though I have children older than you (not kidding).
I ramble, can you tell?! Love you mean it. Happy.

I like how you combine the colors❤️❤️❤️

[@Molly_muffers]

Nice pink hair 😉💕 you’re so fun to watch 😂

[@mrsmoonheaven]

thank you so much 🥹💖

[@miles3295]

I have watched like three of ur videos and as a gemini as well I instantly knew, so glad I was right LMAO

[@airnjac8716]

Nice pink hair! Totally agree that patterns should cost more....I just bought a dress pattern for $7.....it was 50 pages long. 🤯

[@mrsmoonheaven]

OMG. Yeah see at least $11 right there!!!

[@bertmobile]

as a relative crochet noob i refuse to do anything that is not a granny square these days because i refuse to count to any number higher than 10 and even that's pushing it

[@natalieng5508]

I love this!! Question- how many skeins did you end up using?

[@mrsmoonheaven]

i think like 9-10 for gray? and one per each other color but it was all scraps :)

[@daniellerodgers6493]

I see Ethan 🥹

[@kallihofhines5978]

Im the exact same- I love granny square projects but hate all the ends to weave in and sewing them. I made a top for my cousin and it took me months😅
Also I love the Not Being Racist shirt if anyone knows where it’s from?

[@mrsmoonheaven]

you should try this method!! the second sweater, once i knew what to do, was a BREEZE!
also, I can't remember :( It was a really small shop that donated the proceeds, but it was back in like june of 2020 so.. its all a blur :(

[@TheOddExcursionsofBreezy]

We’re you doing the scouts salute from attack on titan at 3:30

[@carmenks6974]

[@mrsmoonheaven]

You're the best! 💖💖
