I judged at the county fair one year. One of my neighbors brought an embroidered tablecloth and 12 napkins to exhibit. She had started the project with her grandmother over 50 years ago. Her grandmother used it to teach her how to do embroidery. She finished that last napkin 50 years later. It was a gorgeous set and I will never feel bad about how long a WIP is hanging around my house.

"What I do is not frivolous, it's not silly." Thank you! I needed to hear that! I started crocheting after my dad passed unexpectedly and was recently told this hobby was childish by a person I cared about. Hearing something like that really takes the wind out of your sails. This craft is important and it heals!

@montanalilac Ай бұрын

Clearly that person understands neither the artistry, fine motor coordination, pattern reading intelligence, nor endorphin releasing qualities of crochet. It is sheer ignorance to call an age old form of functional art “childish”. Besides that, even if it could be qualified as childish, so freaking what?!? If it helps you work through your grief, what difference does it make? Tell that person to take a long walk off a short dock, pick up your hook, and create your heart out! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

@lesta.artist Ай бұрын

Wow… that person must be wanting to control what you do with your time and attention. CONTROL. Just reply that you enjoy it and it releases stress. If they care about you, they shouldn’t want to belittle what you enjoy.

I started crocheting when I was struggling to quit smoking cigarettes as a way to help the behavioral aspect of needing to do something with my hands, and as a way to help quell the social anxiety of being in social groups as an adult. I can thankfully say that I'm on my 5th year of being cigarette free and I still crochet because I enjoy it! It brings me joy and helps me think things through as well as pushes me out of my comfort zone at times. Crochet, as an art form, certainly has helped me grow in ways I didn't think about when initially picking it up, and I wouldn't change a thing. You do you. Take your journey as you can and do what you can when you can. Healing takes as long as it takes, and sometimes, it's a lifelong endeavor.

@montanalilac Ай бұрын

@@Yarnofthewild Brilliant idea, crocheting to do something with your hands other than pick up a cigarette. Did you ever feel that you were becoming obsessed with crochet as well? I mean, other than the level of obsession most crocheters have 😉. Congrats on five years!!! 👏🏻👍🏼👏🏻👍🏼

A few months ago I fell into the worst depression of my 67 years. They wanted to hospitalize me but I said no. Why? What was keeping me sane was that I was crocheting a log cabin afghan. I had to say no to being hospitalized because they wouldn’t allow me to bring my yarn and hook. I’m much better now. I’ve completed all my squares but now I’m on to my least favorite part, sewing it together. It’s made of fall colors so I want it done by fall. I’ve crocheted for 58 years now. I can honestly say that it served me well this year.

"Let me break this down for you." Yes, girl!! More granny square ideas, please. I have a mountain of them and I don't want to make bags or hats with them. My granny squares have been hibernating for several years, so now I'm inspired to throw them together. No More Stack.

@kop-uv2dx Ай бұрын

I turn all my leftover yarn into squares and, after blocking them, store them in a bin... anytime anyone wants to order a custom granny square blanket, I invite them over and show them the bin... we'll discuss joining yarn and how big they'll want it (how many squares they'll need) and then I'll let them dig through the bin picking out enough squares to fit their blanket... often they lay them out themselves, so all I need to do is connect them and add a cute border... ppl love creating their own blankets like that... and for me it's a great stash-buster...

Her page will explode now that you've mentioned her and I'm sure she'll be happy! I also have tons of granny squares from *all* of the Pallette tiny balls of yarn - I have all three boxes....not all made but you inspire me to dig it out again. I love small projects (squares) like this for summer time- so much better than having a hot wool blanket on while you bring it all together. Thank you Toni! You are the best! xo

I rewatch this video every time I need a little mental health boost - it’s so easy for us to harshly judge ourselves when we feel things are taking too long or aren’t up to the expectations we set for ourselves, but that’s a very human experience and feeling. We aren’t failures because we have WIPs that are years old - WE ARE HUMAN!! 💖

My cousin sent me this video. She said you remind her of me. How you speak and how fast you crochet. I said ok let me see? Girl you had me at coffee and your many mugs,lol. But yes I saw me in you. Love your vibes and the blankets lovely. You are so right no one likes to put those squares together. I will make a heavy blanket over putting squares together. I started a granny blanket maybe 6-7 years ago but it’s tiny squares. After watching your video maybe I’ll go back to it? I’ve been crocheting for over 37 years and it’s true that once I’m done with something big or small I feel so proud because I made it! I truly enjoyed this video. Your furry babies are too adorable. Thank you 😊

I have a WIP that is about ten years old, but I inherited it from my grandmother when she passed away. It is an afghan with a bunch of triangles that get joined together. I’ve been trying to work on it a little at a time, but my grandfather was a super heavy smoker and the smell from the yarn gets to me. Would love to finish it as a tribute to her as she taught me to crochet as a child.

I have been crocheting and knitting for the past 41 years now and Just this year I learned to tunisian crochet from you. I feel like there is always something new to learn no matter how long you have been crocheting or knitting. My grandmother taught me when I was 9 years old. No one else in my family crochets or knits. I am teaching my granddaughters. Granny Squares are what I am teaching them first.

Former crocheter turned knitter here. I still crochet cat toys here and there. My oldest WIP is a granny square blanket I was making for a former work colleague. I finished most if not all of the squares around 2010. Then life happened and the intended recipient is no longer in my life. I dreaded sewing squares together, so I put this project in major timeout. I just found my WIP yesterday, and this video popped up in my feed today. I’m now inspired to finish my granny square blanket using the method you showed!!! I’m planning to take little breaks from knitting to finally finish my blanket. I really enjoy watching you crochet while I knit. Thanks again for the inspiration. ❤

When you said you just needed to win… I felt that deeply. I’m going through dialysis and had a fistula put in my right arm, which causes my hand to lose a lot of blood flow plus the nerve damage in my arm makes it so heavy that it’s been a couple of months since I’ve crocheted. I have a client who is willing to take a chance and wait as long as it takes for me to get a blanket out for him, I’m so glad he’s patient enough to wait so that I can take the time to crochet a special blanket for his special someone. Your videos usually inspire me, but this one is completely one of my favorites.

Oh my goodness, it’s so beautiful. I have to admit that grannies are my favorite thing to make. I made so many that they are really a muscle memory thing. I have severe glaucoma, so my vision is pretty bad, but I can still make my granny squares. Grannies are so soothing to the soul. They are definitely my go to crochet. I just love them. Your blanket is absolutely beautiful, and I am so glad that you finally decided to put them together. I love watching your videos because you are so inspiring. Your enthusiasm and love for your craft is definitely catching. And I love that you love my favorite thing, which is the granny Square. I have always put a chain one between clusters, but have started bleeding that chain one, and I like the look . In fact, I love how the square looks when I dropped that chain one. The fabric is denser, and I love that the holes are smaller. Robin is, indeed, a wonderful teacher. I had saved several of her tutorials and referred to them every now and then. I live near Cincinnati, and I’m wondering where you moved to when you left Columbus. I feel as if I already know, but just can’t remember. I will be 81. In September, and crochet is a part of my daily life. I never go a day without crocheting, something, usually a granny square, or a few granny squares. I always have a project in my bag, and on my bed. Coffee and crochet in the morning is my favorite thing. Your cat is beautiful and pepper is just adorable. I recently lost my two precious babies, and always enjoy seeing the little guys in the videos I watch. Blessings and hugs, Sandy from Cincinnati❤

I have learned so much and gained so much inspiration from you, Toni. The thing I value most is the Process. In the past, I rushed through projects. Watching you take the time to arrange and rearrange your squares, learn or relearn a new process, has taught me what it takes to make a project I can be proud of. I am more intentional and precise with my crochet. Crochet and gardening have helped me as my husband and I deal with his illness. Crochet allows me to be in control of something and gardening allows me to create beauty in my world. Crochet is important, and you are important to crochet.

It was a beautiful queen size crochet blanket that was done completely in pinwheel squares, but I ended up having my first of five babies and when I tried to go back to it I couldn't remember my plan. That's why I think it's important to keep a project diary so you have all that information in one place. You have really inspired me today to go ahead and try to get it back out again. It really was beautiful! Thank you! ❤️🧶❤️🧶❤️

I started back crocheting after my mom got diagnosed as Alzheimer's related dementia. I took care of her as best I could then I had to put her in a home because I was asked to go back to the office. I used it to deal with my anxiety and depression because of her illness. Thank you again.

I do have a WIP that is older, a very heavily cabled sweater that I knit in 2010, wow, 14 years ago! I didn't realize so much time had passed! All the pieces are complete, but I still need to join them and knit the border, which includes the button holes and the shawl collar. I can so easily relate to your your elation and the divine satisfaction you felt completing your scrappy granny square afghan, and I am now feeling more inspired to finish my WIP. I really cannot explain why I haven't done so, but as an artist, you know that if you are not feeling the muse, then you are always hesitant to touch it.

Such a fantastic video! About midway through the video when you were talking about your thoughts about finishing a project, I just had to pause and reflect because you explained perfectly how I felt about my first blanket project. I started my first blanket after picking up crochet in the middle of my PhD during a really bad mental health rut/burnout period. It was my first big project, a blanket with many sample squares of different types of stitches. It was something I picked up and put down, and for awhile I didn’t touch it because it was so overwhelming to just finish it! But when I finally did (with the encouragement from my husband), I saw the beauty in that project again and how it got me through such a huge milestone. Took me 4 years to finish that blanket but it’s one of the most fulfilling things I’ve made. Much love to you Toni!

Joining granny squares doesn't have to be boring if your always learning something new. Can't wait to see it with the boarder and ends all wove in.

“She’s made friends with the birds,” 😂😂😂 not me being called out for trying to befriend the wild rabbits in our yard by planting them their own garden. 😂😂😂

I may be contemplating getting my visiting rabbits a little shelter to hide out in. They like to lounge on my driveway and eat the clover.

Hi Toni you are such a pleasure to watch. You say “the ultimate South Africa” girl I don’t even know that and I’m here in South Africa! Will make a point to watch it, while I crochet😻I’m also a granny square lover. Made numerous blankets and jackets, but there’s always granny’s left😂you are such an inspiration to get a fellow crocheter going again. I love your stories and you really have a way with words🤗Its a rainy, windy day here in Cape Town, South Africa, the last couple of autumn days, before our winter season starts from June🌧☔️I was snuggling up in bed with my Utube channel…now I’m off to my crochet!!!Have a blessed day😘

As you were laying out the granny squares on the second arrangement option, I was actually saying, “please choose the second option!” And you did! It was beautiful and perfect!

I love your channel! I learned to crochet as a child from my mother but never really stuck with it. Fast forward to around 2007, and I picked up the craft again. I have been crocheting ever since. This craft had gotten me through the death of both of my parents, stresses in day to day life, and kept my hands busy while my mind relaxed. My oldest WIP is a "Friends" tv show themed afghan that I've been working on since 2017!! I made the most progress on the afghan during covid, but unfortunately, it's still not completed. I've been working on it on and off since 2017. One of these days I will finish it! 😊

I love the colour blocking granny squares better than the multicolour granny squares. Love it!

I have a 13 year old WIP which was a turtle blankie for my now 12 year old nephew. It is still in squares and you have inspired me to dig it out and complete it.......I'm sure there is another baby I can gift it to.

Beautiful!!!! I love it!!! Great job!! Love your puppy, he/she is so cute. Loved it when you put that precious furbaby down on the floor and he/she jumped back up on the bed and layed down right in the middle of the squares. Way too cute!!!!!

I absolutely love how it looks and now feel I need to learn how to join granny squares. I am more of a continuous granny square girl.

The Granny Stitch used to be called the Van Dyke Stitch in the 1800, so I started calling it the Van Dyke, as I love this pattern, shawls and blankets even bags, so easy and satisfying to make. Your blanket came out gorgeous.

It is such a joy to me to gift blankets to friends and family that I have crocheted from my heart for them. This year I am stash busting and making many blankets.

Seeing Pepper get on and off the squares is my favorite part 😂

@meghquinn Ай бұрын

I love that Pepper looked at you in judgement until you paid the pay tax. He's so cute. My oldest WIP is approaching 4 years. Maybe I should buckle down and finish the Tunisian sampler blanket.
