You probably like the yarn colors because they are the same as yours! I am definitely on 192 stitches every row ( after numerous frogging!!!). As you can see in my pictures, I have really been focusing on looser tension which is why July, August & September rows are so loose. Just wondering if Iā€™ll be able to even the sides when it comes to doing the border?

Fran AĀ the blanket is for me. Iā€™m using Yarn Bee (from Hobby Lobby) Medium 4 (80% Acrylic & 20% Polyamide). Iā€™m almost finished with September stitches

Thank you so much Erin! I had to put down my blanket for about a year (due to my Dadā€™s passing & other personal reasons). Now I want to finish it because I do love learning all these new stitches but I get so frustrated with my tension issues! Iā€™m gonna keep on trying & hopefully itā€™ll get betteršŸ¤žšŸ». Thank you again for your help & encouragement!

Thank you so much for your support & kind words Fran! Iā€™ve never done blocking before but Iā€™m willing to try anything! Do I weave in all the ends first, then block & do border last?

Donā€™t think this 2023 CAL Sampler blanket will ever get finished! I keep trying to loosen my tension or use a different size hook and as you can see I donā€™t think Iā€™m making much progressšŸ˜¢ Iā€™m so tired of frogging and doing over-Iā€™m just SO frustrated!! Iā€™m really trying & really enjoy crocheting (when I have the time) but Iā€™m wondering if this is hopeless???

Thank you so much for responding Michelle. Itā€™s nice to know that someone understands & truly cares. Good luck to you as well!

Any suggestions or should I just scrap it? I could really use some advice please

Donā€™t think Iā€™ll ever finish this 2023 Sampler blanket!! I know I have a tension issue (Tiffany requested I use a larger hook or try to loosen my tension). Iā€™m so tired of frogging & starting over. Iā€™m really trying to learn & have fun crocheting but when it starts looking like this I get so frustrated & donā€™t know what to do!šŸ˜©šŸ˜­
