Watched fir the second time 02-15-19
You know, I always take a project to bed with me... And.. I love to dip coffee or tea early in the morning and crochet..sometimes I knit..but crochet relaxes me...
I have a Granny Stitch scrap blanket started, but often forget it s there🙃. You have inspired me to put that blanket by my bed..along with some yarn, of course, and use it as my bed project... it will always be handy, and I won’t have to gather anything much up....
Thanks..
Sandy from Cincinnati

Keep having creative ideas.
Friday nights for "your crochet" nights is fabulous idea! Happy stitching!❣
Can’t wait to see finished granny square blanket
Hello Anja, I have been a subscriber for awhile now. I learned how to do the virus shawl from your tutorial. I love the chat videos you do. I also make continuous granny blankets with my leftover scraps. I enjoy putting a bright color and a dark color together and just doing hdc's for blankets as well. I watch a lot of PBS shows (I love British television). I watch Endeavor, Coronation Street, Agatha Cristie's Ms. Marple, Father Brown,. I could go on forever, lol. I crochet sitting on my side of the bed, I enjoy watching the birds and squirrels through my window. I live in Texas, USA. I've only been here 5 years and just started liking it. I came from a large city, Southern Los Angeles and the town we retired in is my husband's birthplace. One thing I have always liked about here is the many different trees and wild animals, it's fascinating. Just a little about me. Thanks again for teaching me how to make the virus shawl.
Thanks for wanting to know us better. I am in a small town in Pennsylvania, USA. Love to crochet. Left-handed. Learned on my own, harder at first but I perservered.
You are really a delight, your laughter is infectious and your work is impeccable! Thankyou
Yes i make alot of blankets. With my left over yarn. Your blanket will be beautiful. I watch my soaps on friday night. I also work on my knitted blanket. Started in january earlier in the year. Only do on friday night its going to ve a full size bed blanket for my cousin. I crochet during the week. Have many projects going on. Its so relaxing really enjoy crochet and knitting. Nice talking with you. Love your you tube channel.
Thanks Sharon! I like the way you have organised your knitting and crochet days!! xxx
I listen to audiobooks while I crochet and or knit. I love your enthusiasm! Oh, and I watch your videos for encouragement!
Lovely lady, I like watching your videos and learning from them🌺🌷🌸💐🌼
Thanks! HOpefully you will have a good look around my channel, I have lots of projects for you to do!! xxx
Ophelia, I am glad I watched you tonight because I have a big bunch of yarn and this is such a great idea! I am going to start in the morning! Love, Carolyn
Good luck! Thanks for watching! xxx
I have now started a group on Facebook called Ophelia Talks Crochet, come and check it out, it is only small but we are all like-minded and very friendly!! Can't wait for you to join! In the mean time, keep watching! Lots of love Anja x
Love your channel, especially the scenic, such as the Autumn blanket walk in the woods…so beautiful…
I crochet ALL the time!…at 78, Kim burned out on housework and cooking,…my husband of 58 years is very indulgent, and cooks a lot..lol…I have a whole room lined with cubbies stuffed with yarn…the closet has shelves that he built for me and has bins of UFOS!…I just reorganized, so looks nice, and am working to whittle away at my unfinished…I am making a small Granny now in black and flame colors…but I do have gobs of leftovers….and you’re right,..a bed project would be nice,..but not sure if hubby would like it…think I’ll try it…thanks so much!
I am new to leraning how to make blanket, i love your videos i am working on my first blanket for my new grandson coming in July. thank you for your tutorials they are very easy to follow.
I just love to watch you work you make me smile and give me a reason to crochet thank you xxxx
You're so much fun to watch! Your blanket will be beautiful xx
Thanks, it will be slow progress, but we'll get there!! xxx
After watching the video the dilima blanket, i started making ft. Note cards out of food packaging cardboard, i.e. crackers boxes, soda can boxes, cereal boxes. I might even use cookie cutters for fun shapes of foot notes.
Anja, thanks for your video where you started your round blanket. I keep some of my spare yarn in a big pretty vase for decoration in my yarn area. I cant wait to see another video. Please take care and be safe.
You make me so happy!!!
Thank you so much. ❤
I stay up late too. Two times this week I was sleepy, so I went to bed when my husband did. The first night I then didn't wake up until 8...I do not like getting up that late. The second night I couldn't sleep past 3:30. Tossed and turned! The cat loved it because she saw it as an opportunity to receive attention in the middle of the night 😺 Last night I crawled into bed at 1:45 and all is well 🙃 I would love to say that I'll be up with you, but I live in the upper Midwest of the US.
Can't wait to see
How would you do this if you wanted it for a twin bed?
Can't wait to watch your blanket grow 😘
Love this idea of large granny. I have so many scraps. I'm starting one today . Thanks.
I love that it takes so little to make you happy... Me, too... Just give me a comfy couch...or chair...some pretty yarn, my knitting needles...or my crochet hooks, and I am set for the foreseeable future...and very happy...
Great loved it. Thank you so much
A never ending granny square is always my go to blanket. I don't know why but I love making them. So I will enjoy watching you on your journey of making yours.
Yes, I have never really done one, so this is great for me to try!! progress will be slow but it will be worth it!! Thanks for your comment Trisha! xxx
You are welcome! Actually I find that the never ending granny square is pretty quick moving. Non the less its a fun stitch that is a no brainer and u can watch tv or whatever while doing it. Have fun!
Just love all of your blankets
Thanks!! I am going to take photographs of them all!! xxx Thanks for watching! xxx
Oh My God!!! I'm laughing while watching you ...you're so ilarious, cheery and sweet, like you and your projects so much. I'm going me too to make one of you great blankets ... tks for sharing! ( forgive my english ... ;-) )
I am glad you had a good time watching my video, that is what I do it for! Thank you for your comment, i really appreciate it, and don't worry about your english, I understand what you are saying, it's perfect!! Enjoy making your blanket!! xxx Keep watching!!
I shared your "happiness" as you started this blanket. Doesn't take much to make me happy either starting a new project! I love "yarning ".. 😊🤗👍
Love your sense of humour
Love your good work😍
I love your creations! I crochet ever night. You are so talented! I have subscribed to your channel.
Thank you love the time with you I'm going to start a granny blanket
Good luck with it Kathie!! xxx
So glad I was viewing crochet videos this evening. I saw your video where you were so sad about you blanket that you used more than 1 hook and so I looked for more of your videos :-) I love this idea of the continuos granny square blanket. Especially enjoyed the choosing colors by just digging in the basket an d whatever you chose you used. I can't wait to see the progression :-)
I love scrappy blankets...and quilts.... They are so much fun... I keep my hooks in a similar little bag... a Vera Bradley pencil case shaped bag given to me by a yarn friend.. I love it so much...
This video was the next in line after the Feathers and Fan tutorial and looking at the date it dawned on me : it was you who taught me how to make a granny square! At that time I was confined to my house/ chair with severe vertebrae problems and crochet kept me sane! Love to watch your videos in the afternoon when crocheting 🧶 ♥️
I am so happy I was able to help you at a time you needed something to uplift you! Thanks for watching and joining in on my live videos Christiane! xxx
Ophelia Talks 🙏♥️
Loving the channel. I love anything crochet related (I have been crocheting for fifteen years) and every day I make time to crochet without fail. it's just such a relaxing craft. I am really enjoying listening to you talk about crochet as I crochet...You have to concentrate on a tutorial so this is just perfect! Thankyou xx
Ya I like d idea very much dear👍
Thanks a lot. Glad it was useful.
I love your colors!
Lovely videos.
I had a huge amount of leftovers. I did not fancy the stripy blanket, saw this and thought I don't have to do that. I am doing a scrap C2C and I am LOVING it.
Thanks for inspiring me.
i've just recently found your channel, and i'm LOVING it! very inspiring :)
Thank you so much!! Thank you for watching Megan Lucky ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
@@OpheliaTalks it's my pleasure! ❤
Hi
I think the blanket will be amazing so excited to See it coming on ! 😍 it's a great scrap project to make I am sorting all my scrap stylecraft yarns out right now !😄😄 your a wonderful teacher thankyou love your video s so much 😍😍xx
😄 that’s what I’m doing deferent granny square but I continue until I used all my wool and then I change colour.❤
I like to crochet while watching a movie or re-run of shows I've seen before so that it doesn't distract me from my project. I can just listen and already know whats going on. Now that is football season here in the states, that's my time to crochet. And I love to watch football, all day on Sunday, Monday night, and Thursday night games. Lol. I'd love to watch you do live videos. Can't wait. Hope you enjoy the rest of your week. Hugs from Richmond, Texas. It's 11:27 am and it's hot 91°F and getting hotter.
Angie, wow, that is hot!! and thanks for your information, I like to get to know my subscribers better!! Texas!! Fab! Yes looking into how to do live videos atm! Thanks for your comment! xxx
I love your videos!
Please do tutorials on different types of borders.......please :)
You’re so much fun!
Thank you Maria!! xxx
Can’t watch tv and crochet...🤔. So I listen to TV.during the day...and crochet...love your chats..
Hi. I made the scrap blanket on your lap. loved it so much. thank you for sharing your great blanket idea. especially now during lockdown it was great
Thank you for sharing. I actually do not have "huge" stash - it feels too much like hoarding. So when I've got too much leftovers I definitely make a blanket. And I absolutely love love love granny square patterns. It just makes me happy. I've done very advanced crocheting, but still, the simple granny, to me, is pure joy and a happy place to be. I feel I can then just crochet while watching a movie or binge watching. I work 3 wks per month and then 1wk off. So I always crochet (and read and watch movies) during my "down time". I think you are great. Because of my schedule I can't belong to a crochet club and I do not have a single friend who crochets! Unbelievable as it really is a passion of mine. Yes, I have friends who do art and crafs - all kinds - but not crochet. So watching youtube clips like yours makes me feel "closer" to a community of like-minded people!! So I love it. Thanks again. I love the stuff you make.
I have now started a group on Facebook called Ophelia Talks Crochet, come and check it out, it is only small but we are all like-minded and very friendly!! Can't wait for you to join! In the mean time, keep watching! Lots of love Anja x
i actually decided to make a neverending granny square blanket just a week ago and i started on it yesterday before i even watched this video, so i'm happy that you're making it too :D
You are absolutely adorable! I loved watching 👀 you dig into your leftovers blindly. I do that too, lol! Since you did this way back in 2018, I am definitely going to hut your videos to see if I can find your finished blanket.
Love this!!!!!! ty
Geweldig ,goed idee om te maken
Thank you you made me feel better xxx
Glad to be of service!! xxx
I love it when you talk to us while you crochet. I pick up my crochet and do it with you. :) I'd love a live video.
That is exactly what I want to do, let's get a chain going of crocheting together! I am investigating on how to do this live video atm! so keep an eye out!! xxx
I think that your new blanket is going to be beautiful! I do pretty much the same as you are doing. I crochet almost everyday. I’m working on 2 different blankets at this time. Plus dish clothes. A cowl. I enjoy your videos so much. Happy crocheting! ❤️☕️🍰
Oh thank you! Thank you for watching all the time, Sharon Arrendale ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
Me too I love no waste thank you God bless you.
Thank you for watching Penny Moran ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
You are the cutest thing and I love watching you! I want to make everything you make! I live in Washington state and my name is Deborah. My best friend is from London and she sounds exactly like you even with the mannerisms. Favorite thing to do when I crochet is Netflix and a mind to this project. I have too many things in progress. Sometimes that’s nerve-racking so I try to have no more than three. right now it’s 91° here so my wave blanket has been sitting in a basket waiting for things to cool down. I have been crochet more than 40 years and there is still so much to do. Keep up the good work! You are charming.
Thanks so much Deborah, I truly appreciate your comment, Washington state!! interesting! Even when I have nearly finished all my WIPs i don't feel comfortable not having any either!! soo more is good!! LOL xxx
Your blanket is going to be very colourful. I always have to turn after each round when doing grannies, because I get a tilted square if I don't. I am a tight crocheter. It would be lovely to join you live. Keep your videos coming, they are lovely to watch. Have a great Friday evening crocheting:)
Yes, that is what I am going for, colour!! I don't need to turn, but if you know you have to best do it!! Thanks for your comment!! xxx
I love the way you are doing, picking the colors for this blanket. Leaving it up to chance. I have a blanket just like that I'm going to start as soon as the weather cools off. But I'm going to us my High Way Yarn. One day my husband and I were taking a drive in the Mountains, and we stoped at a cross road. My husband said look there is some yarn do you want it. It looked as though there was an accident and this big ball of Blanket yarn was sitting on the ground. It only had a few stickers but was in good condition. So bought another ball of Blanket yarn, I guess I can get another one iff I need it.
But I am going to remember the way you pick your yarn colors with this blanket.
Thanks so much for your teaching which is very easy to follow. I have just started learning crochet and I find your videos the best. I crochet small things like coasters and cup warmers . So satisfying! Thanks again! 😻Btw, I have two ragdoll cats so I hope to see your cat more often in the videos. 😊
Thank you so much! Thanks for watching my video Ellen Chiang and keep crocheting. Anja x
Great idea! I’ve made lots of Granny baby blankets, and several adult ones.. They are fun.
The baby ones were s closed Granny,to prevent tiny fingers and toes from getting caught in the fabric.
A live video.. on uTube... would be fun!
💜
Hi, Anya, thank u for a lovely chat, actually I am making a blanket just like that !!!!! I am on my 21 st round, I do it at the side of the canal with my husband when he is fishing
Oh, wow that is great!! Enjoy your days out with your husband! xxx
I love your projects. I've also been working on going through my left over yarn bits because I had so many they needed their own room hahahaha ^_^
Sometimes, I like to watch you tube videos while I crochet. Most of the time I turn off the tv, radio, and computer then just enjoy the quiet.
You know that can be very soothing too! Just you your hook and project and the swishing of the hook! Bliss!! xxx
Omg a live video would be FABULOUS!!!
I was just scrolling through TH-cam admiring your brilliant work and thought you could make a mile a minute blanket scrap or not
good idea! will add it to my list! Thanks for watching my video Heidi C and keep crocheting. Anja xxx💕🌈💕
I used my odd balls to make a rainbow blanket last year. I used 3 threads at a time a d an 8mm hook and blended the colours. Worked out beautifully! And took less than a week to make that and a little rug and a big toy basket x
I never sew in ends, I use the Magic Knot technique. I used to crochet over ends, but this looks way better. Love granny blankets :-)
I always try and crochet over them, but mainly sew them in! Thank you for your comment Julie!! xxx
2days ago i was looking for some inspiration for my leftovers and i ended up here, Your such a fun to see en hear you talk and chrochet that i couldn't get away from here :P so i decided te crochet along with you on this blanket i'm doing the blind dip too and it give me fun to do watching your video's and chrochet on my leftover blind dip blanket thank you for your inspiration en fun to watch you i'm on row 22 now and you ?
thank you Ria, I am pleased you found me, let's keep eachother going with this blanket shall we? I have worked on it quite a bit, but have put it aside, as we are going away for a few days, so no time to crochet! but I will get to it again! I am at round 36!
Looks great .... Can't wait to see it finished. I crochet watching TV also but when ever I can. No set time for me. I think you should do a live feed. Most TH-camrs do it on TH-cam.
Investigating about a live video, phew, nervewracking!! xxx
Like to watch your show. Right now making your scrap blanket.
This gives me the idea of doing the same ! I've made a giant granny before and think making another larger one for the guest bed would be a wonderful use of the scraps.
Indeed, and you will not feel guilty about making it as it is a 'free' blanket made of leftovers!! xxx
Ophelia Talks ..... oh yes, it would be free except that I may not have enough yarn in my stash to make the size I want. So there may be a yarn purchase after all!
Thank you for the chatting. I'm working on a 12 point afghan,on the 12 skien,4 more to go. 4 different shades of homespun lion brand. I had to take a break from it,and made my grand daughter,7 yrs old,a ring a round the rosie circular vest,and a matching earwarmer. So,I've picked up the 12 point,again,have to finish it. It's lovely. But I'm looking at the 12 skiens of yarn I got on sale the other day. It's an ombre yarn. I'm wanting to make the straight granny stitch. Yours is so lovely. I have wool yarns,too. They're the best,most beautiful. I'm usually listening to music,but the lively chatting is nice. Thank you. You have beautiful crocheted items.
I love your blanket and your basket. Thank you. I am not very much into live sessions. Difficult for my schedule
I crochet every night. Blankets, doggie blankets, bible covers, bags, jumpers. I just love wool. In the main it's DK and all colours.....
Fun I like you. I am going to do the straight across one like you did. I think I will leave long ends on the sides in order to braid
At the end. Like on the magnus blanket which I was going to do but after seeing yours. Mindless effortless sigh no ends to work end. I just finish a bunch of granny square projects and want a rest. Love your spirit subscribing too enjoyable
Hello Wendy, thank you so much for subscribing, welcome to the family!
I do hope you enjoy your crochet, there's a whole plethora of projects on my channel to keep you busy!
Have fun, Anja x
This is nice i does mine ends every 5 or or so rows so it went take long to do i am working on my c2c blanket while watching you
yes, sew in those pesky ends at regular intervals!! we were crocheting together!! xxx
