I would love for you to share a picture of your baby blanket.  How special!

What a great idea Michaela!  Love this.

That is a great question Dawn!  There are so many different kinds of yarn, this would be something I would break down per skein.

Thank you for asking for one specifically.  The yarn I see would make for a couple different great projects.  

Blankets (of course), A wearable like a top/sweater/cardigan, A home decor item like a pillow.  How about a stuffed animal?  A scarf or beanie.  And then within each category are more options.  

I hope this helps!  🤗❤️🧶

I got it Sandra!  Thanks for the pictures!  🤗🤗❤️🧶

Hi Sandra! Are you looking for a way to join yarn together?

Laura Greathouse Let's give that a try to see if it helps.  Try the J - 6.00mm crochet.  If you come upon the February Bead Stitch and it's still giving you trouble lets go ahead and swap out the Bead Stitch for another stitch.  That way you can continue on with your project and still have a great experience.  Tension is the most complicated part of crocheting.  You'll get it!

Oh my goodness WELCOME Alexandria!!  Wow, you are brand new and looking for crochet guidance.  I'm so excited you are here!  I am currently building my Crochet Club with more and more exclusive

valuable content directed to help crocheters of all levels and interests.  

It's not ready yet but I have already started working behind the scenes on building a STARTING FROM THE GROUND UP crochet short videos that would be helpful for you.

But until that is ready I'll direct you to my Crochet Getting Started Series on YouTube as well as my Crochet Basics Playlist.  That will get you started and help build your foundation.  I also have a video on what tools I would recommend someone who is just wanting to get started to have.

Please feel free to refer to this forum to ask questions and seek guidance throughout your crochet journey.  Also, if you can, join the Live Gatherings and get to know the community on a deeper level.  Meet your crochet friends.  🤗

I'll add links in next post.

Hi Laura!  I actually had another person reach out to me with a similar experience.  What ended up being the problem was the individuals crochet stitch tension with the January Crunch Stitch.  Their stitches were so tight with the crunch stitch that when they started working the Bead Stitch in February the beads needed more room and just pushed each other causing an over flow on both sides.  

When this person re-did their crunch stitch rows with a looser tension their bead stitches laid very nicely.  

You are in a great position right now where we are still early into this project.  If you did need to start over with the crunch stitch and maybe go up a crochet hook size to help with your stitch tension, it would be annoying but not the end of the world to do so.  Many people are just getting started on their temperature/sampler blankets right now.  Having the ability to already know what the weather will be for all that time should help make the project fly.  Let me know if this helps.

I love that you recently picked crochet back up and then took off with it!  Sounds like you have made quite a lot since you started again in 2020.  I'm so happy that many of those projects were inspired from my YouTube Channel.  I can't wait to make even more fun projects with you!

I love how crochet has evolved in your life and how you are inspired to incorporate crochet even more in your life.  Your obsession with crochet would get me to start.  😊❤️🧶
