Attempting to make a star blanket in 6 days 

That depends on how you tie in your ends when you change to your second color. For me I like to tie the joining thread to the center pull of the mr when either after I color change or when it's time to weave in ends. If my second CC color is too high up to directly knot it with the mr pull string, then I'll weave it down until Its close enough to tie them together without bunching the project

You're so sweet, thank you. I'm pretty proud of myself, particularly re the colour palette 😊. Tbh I really love matching colours and colour theory and all that.

I’m a big fan of the magic circle.

I’ve managed to pull the chain 4 completely shut. It works better with cotton blend yarns. And if you give it a firm enough tug it should close :)

@@Sammiwuzhere interesting I’ll have to try that, I typically work with acrylic or wool blends and it just doesn’t seem to close all the way.

@@Sammiwuzhere 100%. If you chain 4, slip stitch together, and do the stitches inside the chain 4 ring OVER the tail of yarn, and then later pull the tail of yarn, it should close beautifully. I've begun using this method cause magic rings used to always open up after a while no matter how securly i weaved the end in.

I'll have to give that a try, I don't think I've tried crocheting over the tail like that.

Haha, true.

a yard is about the same as meter anyway :) 91cm

Thank you 😊, it turned out so good.

Thank you 💖. I’m currently making a superstar one, it’s addicting 😂

Thank you 💖

Thank you 😊, I'm really happy with how the colour combos turned out.

Thank you ☺️

Thank you 😊

Thank you, honestly that means so much to me 💖

Thank you 😊

Thank you! 😊

Thanks 😊

Thank you ☺️

Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊

You should 💖

Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊

Thank you, I feel like you could make this as a relatively beginner crocheter, if you feel comfortable with the basics I think you could do it 💖

thank you 💖

Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊

The never ending list haunts us all 😆

thank you so much

I did manage to get a pretty decent chain 4 one time by crocheting over the tail and then it pulled closed pretty well. But still prefer the magic loop 😊

I love seeing all the amazing colour combos people come up with. Good luck with your blanket, what colours are you using?

@@lilijane.createsI am going for like a forest witch vibe? Haha I have a lot of green and brown and gray and blue, we’ll see how it goes!

Oooh that sounds lovely 💖

I've recently learnt a technique to crochet in the tail, but it only works on one of the ends, and I haven't found a good method for the other one, I worry that just crocheting over it won't be secure enough and it will work it's way back out. At least I'll have half the amount next time I guess 😆

Hi friend, thank you 😊

Thank you 😊

So satisfying 😂

Thank you 💖

100 percent agree, I don't feel like I failed at all. And I would much rather protect my hands so I can crochet for many years to come 😊

thank you 😊

I love Caron cakes, I’m currently making another star blanket out of one of the baby cakes in the dreamy violet colour way

@lilijane.creates That's cool, I want to eventually make all of the 6 day star blankets and the 6 day kid blanket too.

If you're making sure to weave in the end after you've made it wouldn't that keep it secure? I agreed with another person above that I prefer the magic circle as you can pull it closed all the way and you don't see any gap in the centre. 😊

I'm so paranoid I've never been game enough to wash anything I've made in the machine, typically I just hand wash things 😂

​@@alwayslearning9272I normally give a pretty long tail and weave it in a bunch, and fingers crossed, touch wood, I've never had one come undone.

it depends on how you're weaving your ends! if you weave them in one direction only, it's def more likely to slip out, but if you weave the end in different directions then you're fine! i honestly love ML too i've just seen one too many horror stories haha@@alwayslearning9272

It took a little longer than seven days, cause I took a break after day six but yeah, the failure bit is a little joke 😂. You should totally give a go! 😊

I'm pretty sure I had 46 rows including the reverse single crochet row, I have found this to be a good size, however, I am 5 foot on a good day 🤣

Need the cat seal of approval 😂

I think that is Teal for contrast! That is startling!! Now arrange your colors and see. Take colored pencils and map it out! That will show you if you need to change something!

I know what you mean about trying to figure out how to incorporate a single roll or skein into a project. You just control it like you are truly color controlling.

The colors are complimenting each other very well!

Weave those ends as you go!

The ends were a nightmare 😂
