I have found that after washing and drying my finished crochet projects if I put them in a space saver bag, when it's opened it still smells like the fabric softner I used to dry it.
Could you video you starting the blanket? I would like to see how you find the chains to start your first row. I've heard that if you use a thinner piece of wool, so you have a thicker blanket still, that the thinner piece of wool is easier to find, then just feeling for the stitch. Is this true?
Sure. I will try to make that soon as I have a new webcam now. I've never heard of the thinner yarn part, but I'm sure that would work just fine too as usually you will border that first chain row and hardly notice it. That's something I might try now!
I'm not sure what the costs or measurements would be. I think I tried selling the baby blanket like 2 years ago, but it never sold. I guess I could try to if you guys needed me to, but I wouldn't know what to charge or anything.
Oh totally! It is a trick I do suggest for everyone; it's just one I have always chose not to do as I crochet weird and don't use correct tension, if I skip the knots it gets all funky the wrong shape. I do suggest everyone at least learn how to do it; it's just something I don't do.
this is beautiful. I've tried working with the stuff, but the first row I can hardly see where to put the first stitch in. Did you have any difficulty when you started your first row. I know to use a large hook, but still didn't help me.
Ty yes, it is a bit difficult, with the chain you have to count, and with every stitch a lot of it is counting and feeling, which is so hard, but so worth it, it's beautiful.
i sort of made it up as i went, hence it's not even on all sides, mostly its just 2 rows double crochet of all the regular colors, then 1 row popcorn stich of the multy, hope that kinda helps.
That is a beautiful blanket. what wools did you use, well done.

what size crochet hook did you use? Thanks.
Chrismoch1 1 year ago
I believe I used an "I" hook, as everytime I use this yarn I seem to use that hook. It's a perfect size for how thick the yarn is.
