[marnao122]

You did an awesome job on the purple blanket! So very pretty!

@marnao122 Thank you! My daughter sleeps with it nightly. She loves it. Can't wait to show my new Disney inspired blanket. :o) Thanks for commenting.

It is beautiful! Do you knit as well? What's the main difference between crochet and knitting?

[freedomplease]

@ibyl Thank you! No, I don't knit. I want to learn. The funny thing is I learned using a CD and taught my son. However, I need to refresh my memory. It seems harder but when I look at patterns they read easier. Weird huh? LOL! Thanks for commenting.

freedomplease, Can you explain me what stichs you used in the crochet blanket, and how can start with how much stich, then the increases and dicreases and the join from the circle to the square and finally the border and the join???, Thanks

[freedomplease]

@mavlemail I made the blanket with granny squares. You should check out the tutorial by @tjw1963. The link is within the description section. She explains and shows how to crochet the granny square. I connected the squares with single crochet and the border is done with a round of single crochet, round of double crochet, and ending with two rounds of single crochet.

beautiful! I once knew how to crochet -- I can't do it anymore. Wish I could learn again. I love this blanket! Lovely

[freedomplease]

@TheMadambition You can!!! I learned as a child and stopped for a while. I've been back at it again and I love it.

[freedomplease]

@Elvis66 Thank you. I now run to YouTube to catch her videos. I started crocheting over 20 years ago but I wanted to try new things. I now watch her tutorials and find old pattern books. 

[CrochetingNanya]

Very nice work. I know you daughter must really love it.

[freedomplease]

@CrochetingNanya She does. Thank you.

[rjhanson07]

nice job, I think Ill try the way you connected your squares

[freedomplease]

@rjhanson07 Thank you. I had doubts, but my daughter can kill a crochet blanket like no other. LOL! I wanted to connect the squares and strengthen the blanket as well.

[Songbirde01]

Great work, beautiful outcome! I bet your daughter LOVES it!!! :-) ♥

[freedomplease]

@Songbirde01 She loves it. I actually started the project for a fundraiser and she started begging for it early. LOL! I made the video so that she could take ownership of it. (smile)

love the color combination.. <3 and the edging is just simply beautiful. Thank you for sharing..

[freedomplease]

@myaukat Thank you! I wanted to keep the edging basic and leave the focus on the color combination.

[tjw1963]
