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.
@@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.
Me too! In fact I am a very newbie to crocheting and I have done a couple blankets but as soon as the sweet honey hexi pattern and tutorial is available, I’m dropping everything and starting this blanket. I have learned to crochet thanks to you!
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! ❤
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! ❤🤗🎉
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
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!
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
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.💖💖
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 😊
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! 😊
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
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!!!
Omg I love love all this blankets you made and your stories. I would love the sampler and the hexagon on your next tutorial I’ll be waiting lol. I also love your color scheme so beautiful. God Bless🙏
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.
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
I made a continuous Granny square blanket out of two strands of fingering weight yarn. It has a tweed appearance because I always used two different colors. I just kept adding yarn as I had it so it slowly grew over two years. I love it so much. So don't be afraid to use yours, just double up.
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👌👏👏👏👏😘
Premium RU-vid put your channel on my face . Those are very beautiful blankets . I have done the number 8 blanket. The granny squares continues the easiest blanklet to make no need to connect just continue crocheting till you reach the desired size . I finished one and gave it to my grandson . I am doing another one for myself . 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 .
Thankyou for your comment and welcome to the channel. I'm so happy you like my blanket and I agree that number 8 blanket is very easy and one of my favourites!
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!!!!
New subscriber here! So inspired by this video, wow! Someone else who loves blanket making, hooray!❤ Really love your autumnal and soft colour palettes, so cosy and soothing to look at. I know what you mean about bright/busy designs. They're fun to make but subdued colours are much more comforting to have around.😊 Thanks for inspiring me! xxx
wow you so talented. I've made some baby blankets for charity .I made in 1 pattern throughout the blankets. I really like your ideas.lots of love from South Africa.
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 ❤❤
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. 😊
I watched this video at least three time to try to figure out which blanket was my favorite. I have it narrowed down to the Hexagon daisy and the Honeysweet hexagon. I loved the borders on all of them. Can’t wait to see the tutorial on the Honey Sweet blanket. Awesome video. Subscribed!
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.
Somehow your channel came across my youtube feed :) I have to tell you, you are such a joyful, happy, positive person that I suddenly realized almost everyone I watch and everyone I am around in person is quite negative! It is nice to have you share your crocheted blankets with such joy. I've been crocheting for 50 years...made lots of blankets and shawls in that time. I can't seem to not have something working up in my hands. I feel guilty to just sit and not be 'doing something'... Your blankets are beautiful - and TWO hexagon blankets! Good for you! I just subscribed, hope you keep up the beautiful work, and keep your smile going because you made ME smile today...and probably many other people too.
I love all your blankets. I am a knitter but started crocheting many years ago and just a couple of years ago I picked up again. I will definitely be watching your videos. Thanks again.
Your channel came up in my feed. I’m so glad it did. You create beautiful things. I’m relatively new to crochet (age 66). I’ve done a few baby blankets . But I’d love to make one in the hexagon pattern. I really like the solid hexagon blanket, so yes please I’d love a tutorial in this pattern. Thank you for sharing your work. Just subscribed.
Welcome and Thankyou for subscribing ❤️ I’m hoping to get the hexagon tutorial up in the next few weeks with a written pattern to follow later in the year
Oh my gosh!! I‘m a quilter and cross stitcher and once a year I think about crochet something. After this gorgeous video I want to start a blanket! Wonderful trunk show! This you so much and happy new year! 🥳🌷🍀🎈
Happy new year 🎉 and definitely recommend a crochet blanket. I really want to finish a quilt this year. I have a dream of my bed with a patchwork quilt and a crochet blanket 🥰
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
Hello Em🤗💕!! Within 2 minutes of watching you for the 1st time, I instantly felt so thankful to have had your channel show up in my RU-vid feed!! **It’s like winning a lottery for crafters/artisans!! So far, I was blown away with just the first 2 blankets you are sharing!! I’m excited to continue watching the rest of this video. Then, I will proceed to watch your other videos!! Ultimately with the desire to pick the simplest pattern for a beginner - you have inspired me to make a blanket for each of my young grandkids!! Thank you for creating your channel with such beautiful crocheted blankets - and most of all - for being a kind & brave young woman by taking on the challenges of being on RU-vid!! Have a lovely New Year!! Best Wishes for an awesome 2024!!!
Thankyou so so so much for your beautiful comment - it’s made me cry happy tears ❤️ I’m so happy you’re excited about my content, I just love sharing it with like minded people. Your grandchildren are very lucky and I’m sure each blanket will be like a cuddle from their grandma. I’d recommend a giant granny square blanket as it’s beginner friendly and I have tutorials for it on my channel. Thankyou again for taking the time to leave this comment ❤️
Very pretty, I only make blankets/afghans. I don't usually make anything I have to put together, but I'm thinking about giving it a try. I have been crocheting since 1972. I was 15 and got a ripple afghan kit for Christmas. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 12,19, 2023.
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.
Your blankets are all Beautiful. I am a knitter, although I went down the crochet rabbit hole in 2023 and made 3 blankets for my Grandkids for Christmas. Your blankets have inspired me to make many more. I look forward to some of your tutorials. Thank you for sharing. Happy New Year. 😄
❤ 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 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 .
I fell in love with the Hexadaisy blanket and ordered the pattern. I have made blankets for each family member but this one is for me! I’m using Caron Simply Soft as I found a fantastic sale on it and the colours are very similar. The pattern is very easy to follow with great instructions and paired with the online tutorials, learning the pattern was a snap. I’m about halfway through and can’t wait to see the finished result. I love making blankets and your creations really strike a chord with me. Thank you for sharing your patterns with us. You are very talented and inspirational!
Loving the hexagon daisy blanket definitely going to make this, I love the stylevraft special yarn so easy to work with and gorgeous colours. All your blankets are stunning xx
@meemamakes thank you I'm going to get the yarn tomorrow. I was going to do the cosy daisy blanket and then your video popped up and loved it. Thank you for your videos please keep doing them you're an inspiration xx
I defiantly would like to see a video of the making of the Honeysweet Hexagon, it looks beautiful. In my opinion, your first blanket is very nice, the colors work well together.
