I have a hexagon blanket that my grandmother crocheted for me in wool 💖 my grandmother died 60 years ago, I treasure it
That sounds like a wonderful treasured heirloom. I hope one day my family will treasure mine too ❤️
How special x
I was doing a big declutter finally decided to donate two crochet blankets I made in the seventies as the colours were so dated. Months later I found them behind the seat of the truck. My husband and son couldn’t bear to part with them. They were made from 99 cent acrylic from Sears just to fill time during a winter of unemployment. You just don’t know which handmade items are going to become sentimental favourites.
This is so true! Thankyou for sharing your story ❤️
That's really sweet❤
I was telling my hubs about one from my childhood. He suggested I recreate it. I'm seriously thinking about it.
@@decgal81 Yes! That’s a good idea. It would be so satisfying.
@@missmayflower I think so. It would be simple. It's a granny stripe, rainbow blanket made by my great grandma. I have no idea what happened to it, but I have so many memories curled under it.
I can’t believe you are a grandma. So young looking. You have beautiful skin. Have enjoyed your blankets. Glad I found your podcast.
Very interested in the hexagon blanket tutorial coming up!♥️ All of the blankets are just beautiful!
Thankyou q
Mercy me, this is wayyyyy too much inspiration!! 😍 Your blankets are all so very beautiful; thanks for showing each one and explaining how each was made.
I’d absolutely love a tutorial on your solid hexagon blanket, including joining and border. I’ve been wanting to make a blanket like that for ages. Can’t wait to see your video on it.
Also: tutorials on your borders would be excellent! Each of them is so perfect for the blanket. I always struggle with finding the right borders.
Anyway: Thanks for such an inspiring video! ❤
Yay, I can’t wait to share the tutorials. Thankyou so much for leaving such a great comment, it is so motivating ❤️
The title popped up in my feed and I was intrigued. Such talent you have been given! The next step on your journey could be to make and give your blankets to charity so others can feel the love. You’d be surprised at the stories that will come back to you about the blankets you’ve given out. My little group of 5 ladies make blankets for elementary school sick rooms, children in hospitals, adults that are ill, some in nursing homes. And these blankets have even found their way overseas even though we are in the Midwest US. I’ve even seen one at a funeral! So think about sharing your gift with others. You’ll be glad you did! ❤🤗🎉
Yes would love the hexagon blanket video tutorial
12 colors in a blanket !!!! Guuurrrrrrrrllllll we are kindred spirits!!!!! i am going to follow you and i look forward to making several of your blankets in january!! love the hexies!! you have a wonderful color sense!!!-- its a gift and thanks for sharing
Thankyou and welcome! I love colour in blankets so so much 🥰
This video is my crochet heaven!! I am blanket obsessed, especially using squares or hexagons. Loving all the designs and colour choices. Hard to pick a favourite 🤔 but I'm going for the honeycomb one, the colours are sensational 😊 I've avoided quality wool rich yarns simply because acrylic washes without giving it any thought! 😅 Ooh but that drape 🧡🤎💚💛
I used to agree with you but superwash wool is pretty resilient! I wash on a gentle cycle and then air dry. They seem to need less washing than the acrylic ones as well as I find acrylic holds smells more
@@meemamakes hmmm....sounds like I'll be off to the wool shop soon then!! 😄
Hi I just found you and subscribed my goodness the blankets are all so beautiful.i loved watching them all you are very talented.thanks so much for sharing.great to see a young person doing the craft.i am 74 years young.crocheting over 50 years found your video so inspiring .thank you so much.💖💖
Wow Thankyou so much and welcome to the channel. Glad you love my blankets ❤️
Your blankets are stunning. And I appreciate the fact that you do videos for lefties. When I started crocheting over 20 years ago, there was practically nothing geared for lefties anywhere, so we had to do brain contortions - and we cursed and swore a lot along the way, lol. Thanks for sharing your wooly treasures with us. Subscribed!
Thankyou and I’m so glad the left handed tutorials are appreciated. I’m surprised other channels don’t do it too as it usually doesn’t take too long!
Yes please! I’d love to see a tutorial on your hexagon blanket!!
They are all beautiful and you should be proud of your work! ❤
Thankyou, I am ❤ looking at them makes me happy and proud 😊
I've never seen such a beautiful mandala-blanket
She is such a talented designer for sure!
your granny blankets are soooo lovely! and that stitch sampler blanket has lived rent-free in my mind for weeks now
I love these!!! I’m looking forward to the honeycomb hexagon tutorial. These are all so inspiring. I love to crochet! Thank you for sharing!!!
I'm so glad you like them. Thankyou for commenting 😊
How beautiful are all the blankets you have made i love the colors.
Thanks so much 😊
Wow to Sophies Universe blanket ❤
So so so beautiful 😍
Juste MAGNIFIQUE ❤❤❤❤, bravo, surtout MERCI pour les tutos !!!
Very interested in the hexagon blanket tutorial. Beautiful
I love the design of the Sampler Blanket and crochet a own blanket for me with also different squares and colors ❤ and wow, the disign of Sofies univers is also beautiful 😊
Thank you! 😊
Yes please. Show us how to crochet the hexagon blanket. And what alternative yarn can we use please?💚
Any you like! I’ll be doing the maths for any sport or DK yarn but it’s easy to substitute bulkier yarns if you want to
The Sophie is everything. Keep it for now, youmight feel differently about it as you get older, and if not, then its a perfect heirloom for your grandchildren.
I’d rather it be loved and used than sit under my bed for another 5 years 🤷♀️ my nan really loves it and we are very close so it feels right to gift it.
Thank you for sharing, love all your blankets but especially the hexagon ones, very pretty.
Georgeous work.
Oh , SOPHIE'S UNIVERSE is my dream, it' s just like a wonderful paint ❤❤❤❤ but all Your creations are so perfect , with perfect colur and technic👌👏👏👏👏😘
Beautiful work very talented. Thank you for sharing your videos, God bless you and good luck .From USA 😊
It’s so hard for me to choose a favourite as all your blankets are beautiful 😍. I’m currently attempting my first Christmas colour granny square blanket - green shades, red and cream. I thought if I start early enough, I will hopefully finish by this Christmas 😂. You are such an inspiration and such a good teacher. Thank you
This is such a good idea - starting so early. I always leave it too late!
Just brilliant 🎉
Thank you so much for this video of all your blankets - so very inspiring!!! Thank you so much!!! Your blankets are so beautiful; I loved them. I'm 64 - but when I grow up I hope to have some crochet projects I can show off too. I loved all of them! Thank you!!!

Beautiful works and very beautiful color combinations .i love the hexagon design.I subscribe to your channel.the number 6 blanket is truly one of a kind work of art .

Beautiful blankets.
Thank you! 😊
All your blankets are beautiful. Thanks for the non curling tip. I’m making blankets ever so often but am thinking of doing more. I need to rotate my items as I want to crochet and knit everything I see. TFS
Yes rotating is the way to go!
They are all beautiful. They you for sharing.
You’re welcome, Thankyou for commenting 🥰

Obsessed with the honeysweet hexi!
Yes. I'm interested
These are so beautiful! You are very talented! I hope that you will continue to offer more patterns in the future.
Thankyou so much! And I definitely will be, got a few in the works 😊
That granny Sq blanket 11:56 is exquisite!❤ 😮😮😮all are beautifully done
Enjoyed them all! I think the big single granny square blanket is my next project. I find the mindless repetition very soothing!
It is very soothing and grows quickly. Enjoy 😊
They are all beautiful, I like the hexagon one in the autumn shades. You are so talented.
Thanks for the ideas.
Thank you so much!
Exquisite shawls! Your work is inspiring.
Thankyou!
I made a afghan for my niece in purple and greens. Each square is different. I am quite proud of it.
Sounds lovely!
Beautiful
Thank you
What an inspiration you are!! The hexagon blankets and starburst are my favourites, so they are now on my list of projects to ‘one day’ attempt! Thank you! 😊
Thanks so much 😊 I definitely recommend both those patterns!
Beautiful designs ❤
Thankyou
What a great roundup!. I also have cupboards full of stylecraft in a million colours. I think the hexi daisy is my favourite but it’s a hard choice!
Me encantan! Gran trabajo!❤❤
Thankyou ❤️
Восторг!!! ❤❤❤ Очень красивые работы! Вы молодец!
Blankets are beautiful looking forward to tutorials
Thankyou - glad you like them!
😍 the honeysweet one 😍
Youre so clever, thank you for sharing your skills with us x
You’re welcome, I love sharing crochet joy ❤️🌈
Oh wow! You’re so clever! I’m totally in love with your sampler blanket, the scalloped edge is stunning!
Your Daisy blanket is my absolute favourite. I picked up the nickname Daisy while living in Australia. I’d love to make it v
I love the colors of your first project! It is beautiful. I am gifting my first giant granny square blanket to my son for Christmas this year. I love it. It alternates rows of deep amethyst with rows of Red Heart Parrot Stripe. I am now making a patchwork of solid shades of purple and blue grannies bordered with medium gray rows and edging which he will love. I am drawn to your large, drapey hex blanket. It is beautiful as are the rest. All of them folded together just look comforting to me. The very intricate one is so amazing and must have cost a fortune in yarn. Wow!! Very fun video. Thanks.
Thankyou so much! The intricate one wasn’t too costly as it’s cheap acrylic yarn. Your blankets sound beautiful!
So glad I came across your videos , I love making crochet blankets your blankets are Beautiful . Thank you for the patterns and videos I am eager to check them out .
Thankyou, so happy you like my blankets and hope you like my other videos too 😊
I would love to learn!
Brilliant
Have just discovered your channel and I’m tickled at how much our taste in colors, patterns, and techniques overlap. ❤ Looking forward to exploring your other videos. 😊
Oooo yay! Welcome 😊 I love connecting with other crocheters online. This community is the best ✨
Holy cow!!!! Every single one is beautiful!!!! I love every single one!!!! The first two you showed would be a major step up for me to even focus and TRY because I’d want it to come together overnight!!!! I’ve never made squares that intricate. You’ve encouraged me to set a goal for 2024!!!!
Yay, I’m happy to have inspired you! I need to actually write down my 2024 crochet goals 💫
The Mandala blanket Is stunning!!!
She is such a talented designer
Your work is next level. This is beautiful 😍
Thank you so much!
I love all your blankets and your color choices. I have made three Sophies Universes and three Mandala Madness. I enjoy making them out of cotton DK, it really gives you good stitch definition. I made a couple out of Scheepjes but now I use Paintbox cotton dk which is a reasonable price and comes in a lot of colors. I like to not plan out my colors before I start and just choose them for each part as I go along. My friend made a Sophie out of all cream colored yarn and it was gorgeous.
Oh wow, a one colour Sophie. I bet that really highlighted the gorgeous texture! Maybe I should have done that 🤔
Oooo…Debbie Bliss Cashmerino is so lush. That would be the coziest blanket!
It really really is 😍
❤ Very lovely all of them! I'm just doing a multicolor one and enjoy so much to do crochet! I think U R a nice Lady and I follow U from Lima Perú, S.A.
So glad you liked them! Hi from England to Peru 👋
I love your blankets they're so beautiful and your color choices are absolutely perfect ❤
Thankyou ❤️
I love your color combinations! I have such a hard time choosing colors. Thank you for all the tip!
You are so welcome! Colour combinations have taken me a lot of practice and trial and error
I love all your blankets and my favourite is Sophie’s Universe
Good choice! It is a beauty 🥰
Hi Meema, I just found your channel this morning. I'm thrilled!! Your blankets are just stunning. It's not possible to pick a favorite. They are all unique and beautiful. I'm now subscribed and looking forward to new videos!! Love from The Jersey Shore of New Jersey, USA ❤❤
