I'm such a beginner but so eager to learn.

Tiffany & Fellow crochet fanatics.  (Cross posted from the "questions channel since there seems to be more activity here.) I have been working on the 2024 sampler blanket.  I have completed the join and only need to weave my ends before starting the border, but I see this as a challenge.  The join yarn is so light compared to the square borders and most of the squares.  How do I weave in ends in a way that doesn't show when all I have that matches is a bunch of chains?  I am a beginner and I do not want to ruin everything by getting this wrong.

Mimi Pauwels I have good news. All but 3 of my squares have the border on them and I have started to block them. The good news is that most of my smaller squares were pretty stretchy and I have been able to block the to 13 by 13 pretty easily. So far only one is short on one side but only by 1/2 inch. Will be ready to post pics soon.

Temperature blanket. My latest update

This is my temperature blanket as of the beginning of May. I meant to post this sooner but I forgot.   My stitches really pulled in during March,  but no matter how it turns out, I am learning a ton and that is why I took this project on.

Mine looks very similar, and I think that color changing with the slip stitch doesn't help because it makes the edges kind of lumpy and make it look less straight than it would otherwise.  I will post a pick shortly as I just started May.

Tiffany Hansen Thanks for the response.  I have been all over the community chat headers and do not see posts regarding the yarns everyone has chosen.  What am I doing wrong?  I see the post on how to get started, but nothing with specifics about what yarn people are using.

I have the same problem, to a slightly lesser degree.  I am learning a lot, though and for me that's kind of the point.
