Thank you for this! I am fixing a blanket for my sister and this is exactly what I need. My mom made this blanket for my sister BEFORE I WAS BORN and when my nephew was little he got ahold of scissors and my sister thought it was ruined but now I can fix it for her 🥰 couple decades late but she’s going to love it.
Thank you so much. My Great Aunt gave me a crocheted afghan 46 years ago as a present. It was unraveled when I got it out of the box after all these years and I didn’t know how to fix it. I only know that I didn’t want to through it away. Many thanks 😃❤️
Have you ever tried to reconnect the stitches by using a small crochet hook and draw the yellow stitches through the pink ones? I think that would make it just like it was.
Do you have any advice on fixing a c2c blanket? I didn't do so well at my attempt :( it's in the center of the project and I have NO clue what to do! I made it for my granddaughter and I guess I didn't weave the ends in as well as I thought I did. Any advice is greatly appreciated! I LOVE your work! It is so amazing!! ❤
How do you know if a blanket is to far gone to be able to fix it? My husband grandmother made it a long time ago and she past 13 years ago. My dog unfortunately had got a hold of it and pretty big holes. My husband won't let me even make a new one close to the colors or have his other grandma make him a new one so this one can be tossed. Please any tips would help. P.S. I'm a knitter but be willing to learn crochet to be able to fix this for him.
Thank you for sharing this. But what do you do when the item to be repaired is a granny motif blanket and one of the motifs has a small section of the granny representing a couple of rows, each a different color, and one of the corners. It's about 35 years old and needless to say, I don't have anything close to the yarn used to make it. And suggestions?
I have a granny square blanket I've been trying to repair also it's one of my mom's in those sixty's colors some of them I found at Michael's mostly redheart acrilic but I just can't find that shade of green so I keep looking and working on the brown border one stitch at a time
Brenda, what do you do though for the granny rounds in the motifs? I was thinking that if enough of the motif itself was ruined (chewed by the dog actually) and I could find enough of comparable yarns, I could just simply stitch up replacement motifs and sew them back into the blanket. I mean, we are talking some devastation from the center ring of the motif to maybe the 2nd or 3rd row of the square but only the width of a cluster to maybe 3 clusters in the motifs in the outer row.
Omgosh that looks terrible. What kind of connection did it have that failed or was it cut or broken? Wow kudos to you for being able to fix that! Wow you did a great job 🙂! Also I'm a new subscriber. I personally am so afraid of something I've made and gifted or sold coming apart 🤯😳😬😩 I would feel so bad, horribly bad! Thanks for sharing I would have been completely lost. Omgoodness you have the patience of a Saint. Luv yah 💕
@@carolynmcmillan7083 Thank you for helping me mend my granddaughters afghan, which her mom made for her. The yarn they are selling now, is not as strong as what I used in the 70's. It is very thin and doesn't stay properly twisted, for added strength and elasticity. What you are calling a blanket is an AFGHAN. Afghans can be knitted or crocheted. They can be small for someone in a wheelchair to cover their lap, larger to go over a recliner or rocker, and huge for a king size bed.
