Don't fix it. It is a chapter in your crochet journey. Love it!!! Keep your blanket from 15 years ago. Clean up the ends and throw on a border. I love it!!! Show us when you're done.❤❤
Celebrate the back of the blanket for what it is. Just finish it up and enjoy it as part of your crochet heritage. P.S., your hair is SO gorgeous! Best regards, -Paul from Orlando.
Don't try to fix it. The colors are awesome. Maybe just add a border, and use it as a throw in your home. I love it! We all improve over the years. Nothing wrong with treasuring something you put your heart into. ❤️
OMG, You are very talented. I'm really loving your channel. That afghan is beautiful. I would suggest keeping it as is and possibly adding a short napped tattered fringe to the whole inseam, with a mixed blend of all colors. Give it a kinda distressed seam on the backside and probably a twisted fringe border too. I absolutely love the colors you've done that in. The hooded sweater is gorgeous. It would be a shame to not enjoy. I would add length to it and make it a bathrobe. Forget the buttons add pockets, a belt and loops. It would be great to lounge around in during those cold winter days. Looks so comfortable. Congrats on your channel. Your very pleasant to listen to while I'm crocheting. Best of luck and thanks for sharing.
Consider yourself a new part of my inspiration team!!! Your video came up as a suggestion… so happy it did…new sub!!! Love your aesthetics!!! Love the blanket…would leave as it is and add a black border. Love you makes…this is the 2nd video I watch…now binge watching!!! Currently making lapghans of in batches of 10 for seniors along with hats for the homeless. GOD gave us a talent to use for his glory!!! Keep up the great work that your doing!!!! Stay safe and be blessed ❤
I say leave the 15 year old blanket the way it is. You love it, it is a beautiful piece. It shows your progression as a fiber artist. Keep it like it is.... PLEASE ❤
The Afghan is beautiful! Not just the design but also in the fact that it is an evolution of your talent. Don't take it apart. I would also put a border on it. Add fleece or flannel back to the Afghan. All your choice. Would definitely still finish it off and add that border. Remember to be proud as to how far you have come in your art!😊
Just love your oversized cardigan. I think it looks fabulous on you even though you have lost a lot of weight. I personally would keep it, it doesn’t need buttons . Cheers 👏😊😘
Love your project that you didn't finish. I would not change it. It is part of your history. Finish the edge and display it proudly. I love the colors.
Your 15yr old blanket. Tie off your ends and put a border on and use it. Put it on your couch, your chair, your shoulders. Bring back the good memories that it has brought when you made it. Enjoy!!!😊😊😊
Just leave it...be proud and show how far you've come...I'm a quilter of 42 years. I have my first quilt. It's absolutely horrible, but I keep it to show my progress...love you and your videos...
Your blanket pattern is so unique. Keep it just the way it is. The join is a reflection of your skills 15 years ago. Be proud of it. Look where you are now
That blanket is absolutely beautiful, don't you dare frog it, it's your first project and I'm sure there are some memories attached to it. Finish it the way you would like and cherish it. 😊 Oh by the way, this is my first time ever seeing your Channel and I love your honesty, I will definitely subscribe. OK, bye-bye 😊
Please leave as is, it’s part of your journey! It looks nice, it still looks nice. Love the colors! The sweater I’d use the Hazelnut Buttons, very nice, someone will really appreciate it! ❤Love your Bean stitch blanket! Nice hat and beanie for the holiday season. Omg! I love the puzzle yarn, right now I’m working on a granny square blanket , color way Jigsaw! ❤️ it! Love your beanie and scarf, it’s also Jigsaw like my blanket! Thanks for sharing!
Omg keep the blanket from 15 yrs ago the way it is. It’s beautiful and it’s a wonderful memory of how far you’ve come. ❤️ just a border and it’s be perfect!
I would leave the afghan as it is. Just weave in the ends and be proud of it. The medium buttons look great with the sweater - LOVE the patten! But with the black stripe in the scarf, maybe the black buttons would be better. Can't wait to see what's coming next!
Wow first afghan is beautiful. The colors go so well together. Yes add the boarder and cleanup the ends. Then every time you look at it you can remind yourself how much you’ve grown. Regarding the buttons…Ebony 💯. Finally, love the blue puzzle beanie! All your projects were great to see. Thanks for sharing.
Keep going with the blanket the way it is! You stumbled on a design feature! Also the cardigan looks good on you as an oversized sweater, or over layers as a coat.
My advice: find matching fleece fabric and crochet attach it to the back of the afghan. It makes it twice as cuddly and warm. I’ve done this technique many times after seeing it on Mikey’s channel. Love love LOVE your afghan by the way. I may have to screenshot it and copy it. Chef’s kiss!
Love the blanket! Keep it as it is , it shows how far you have come! And the cardigan is beautiful, someone will treasure it forever! Dark buttons would match the scarf perhaps! Love the wall of yarn too!😊
I would continue with the blanket. It's beautiful!! Make it the size you really want. Then add a fleece lining! The sweater is awesome - yes someone will definitely love and appreciate it!! I love your beanie and triangle scarf sets!! That is very nice of you to make hats, etc to giveaway! I give to my community center and they pass them out.
Keep that blanket just as it is. When you display it on a chair, the back won't be visible. It shows how far you have come in your craft. I shared this video on Facebook so, hopefully, you'll reach 1,000 subscribers by the end of the weekend.
Finish the blanket and let it ahow your progression in one project. The buttons-- bark is beautiful. Oversized cardigans are perfect. It looks good on you.
If I were you I’d put a border on it clean up the ends👌keep as a Momento! Honor the time when you created it! Glad you’ve learned more and can honestly appreciate your journey through life! That’s what it’s all about! You are an amazing person and appreciate all your hard work and dedication to us your Yarn Family!✨🤙❤️🔥
Juan that blanket it amazing! I think you could put a border on it and love it as it is. It's a reminder of how much you have learned and grown in your crochet journey. It needs a place in the heart of your home. Also, I agree! That sweater looks so good on you. I know it's big, and I applaud you for your weight loss (I'm working on that, too) but it really does look great on you. Someone will love it, that' for sure.
Hi Juan, I love the colors of that blanket and the design. My opinion is that you should keep it the way it is and add to it. Then you can always have it to look at to see how far you have come. Have a great day 💜 🌻 🤗 I have my first afghan, and it's 50 years old.
I think your blanket is beautiful. I would add a border to it and clean up your ends and display it in a room of your choice. It will always be something special to you. And also it will always remind you of how far you have come.
I wouldn't take the blanket apart. I think it shows how far you've come. I like the ebony button. The sweater is beautiful. The puzzle yarn scarf worked up so nicely.
Your sweater is beautiful. I’d go with the med or lt buttons. Whomever receives it will be very lucky. I love the color of your blue speckle blanket! 💙 Huh. I never thought to make wearables with Mistletoe yarn. Very inspiring. 😊
I am officially a Yan Addict addict. Beautiful piece. Keep the blanket jus the way it is. It shows your progression from 15 yrs ago. All crochet has a right side and wrong side.
Leave it as is. No one is going to see the back anyway, so just leave it as it is. Its a sign of how much you have progressed. You could keep it just to show how much you have progressed and improved. Love your channel. Welcome to" you tube".
I love the Mistletoe beanie and triangle scarf! I LOVE Puzzle yarn too! The beanie and scarf from the Puzzle yarn is gorgeous! You do such beautiful work Juan! I live in Iowa. I know about cold weather! I have to have my winter accessories almost more than the coats, lol! Although believe me I have several dozen coats. I'm a clothing person, lol! And boots....although I try to donate excess as I stay in so much more as I'm aging. I like being home and crocheting and/or diamond painting, lol! Thanks Juan. P.S. I really, really like the triangle scarves. They would hug my neck and keep it warm!. I told you I'm from Iowa. I also live in an old farmhouse on my dad's farm....out where the winds really blow! You're such a compassionate, giving person. Bless your heart!
Hi!! Welcome to this online community, I've enjoyed each of your videos. Re: Gorgeous Brown/gray/black blanket. In my opinion, you should edge it in black, weave in the ends, and display it proudly!! It's absolutely beautiful and I would love that pattern, so please do a Tutorial, I'm great with following along. I'll follow a pattern, but my visual skills are 1,000x better. Note: I twin constantly!! You're the first one who's said you do it all the time. I've been mixing wild styles with soft matching colors, or using a dark background to highlight the colouration, I've made a lot of one of a kind because of mixes. I've been crocheting ( & knitting) since I was about 6 years old, watching my East German Mom and South Philly Aunt, I'm 67 now and, you're right, boy did the internet change my whole yarn world!! Even the projects I make up with these fabulous new yarns, everything is inspiring. Anyway, that's my insight or 2 cents; it's gorgeous, put it where everyone can see it. Laura
I love it!! Just maybe . Border it or just sew in your ends and display it!! It's such a beautiful display of art! I wish I still had my very first afghan!! Love, love. Love your colors I love it all! Definitely keep it!!
Now , your sweater is beautiful! I like the ebony button as best as I can see online. I like my sweaters baggy. That said, anyone would be crazy not yo like getting such a great sweater.
Yes, take it back down to its parts, Juan, and fix those joins !! Your crochet is beautiful - admirable, even - and deserves to be seen without uneven joins. The colours are terrific, too. Please please make it better: it really needs to be an FO of which you can be unreservedly proud, not just partly proud.
I would take it apart and rejoin it the right way. Then add a border. I love the design ! You have a great sense of how to balance the colors and values. Light, middle and darks.
I love your piece from 15 years ago! I think the little imperfections make it perfectly handmade. Keep it, add a border and display/use it. It’s beautiful. Love all your FO’s. They’re so pretty. I also hand out hats, scarves and throws in my area in the winter. I like to make cotton scrap blankets for my local animal shelters, as well. You’re truly inspiring. So glad I subscribed.🥰🧶🖤
It's a beautiful blanket! Nobody is going to judge you on the underside. Nobody looks at the underside when they have it on them. Weaving in the ends will make the back look much better. If it drives your perfectionism into overdrive, then take it apart and re-sew it properly. Just don't let it sit there. It will be a good project to work on while watching TH-cam. I am as much a process crocheter as a product crocheter. I will rip and redo without a thought, since I'm enjoying the act of crochet. Do I have to start over? Ok. More to crochet!
I also made a hat and scarf set with Puzzle. That colorway is Jigsaw. I crocheted my scarf lengthwise so that I could have vertical stripes. I love how it came out!
I love your blanket as it is. The colors are gorgeous. We all started somewhere. I would keep it and just curl up in it. And don't cringe at your joins. You've learned differently since but that was your knowledge base 15 years ago. Just my opinion! I love it! Thanks Juan. Congrats on your dramatic weight loss. I'm just sorry your health isn't the best. I come from a family of diabetics and the men almost all have heart issues. I'm lucky at 67 to have neither yet. Please continue your obviously healthy lifestyle!
I love the younger Juan blanket. I would Not take it apart. It is sentimental. Possibly add a white border and its good to go! You have so many nice blankets. Sell them for alot for all of your hard work. Plenty of people will pay for Handmade!
Omg keep it!!!!! Who cares what the back looks like? Only you!!! It's too beautiful to lose. The sweater and scarf are amazing ❤❤ congratulations on your health journey. I hope your heart is better. Maybe someone at your Dr's office ?? Is there someone that you have seen there that might love it?
Hi 👋🏼 what a great combo on your heirloom blanket! With your acquired seaming knowledge I’d say take it apart and redo!!! OR get some fleece and attach it to the back and it will be super warm 😊
I would keep it and treasure it as a beautiful memory. It’s gorgeous. I would either continue on with the knowledge u have now or add a border and call it a day. I won’t redo it. Love it❤
Your 15 yr old blanket is so cool!! Love the design and colors. Don’t fix it, it’s great to remember and appreciate how much we’ve learned. Great lap blanket! Congratulations on your health journey. I am also type two diabetes and am on my weight loss journey. It’s a daily challenge but we’re not alone in it. Crochet has turned into my relaxing happy place, it’s therapy. Even more when we get to bless others with what we do. You’re awesome, Juan 🎉
I think it is awesome don't rip it apart I would buy that from you I think it looks great you should be proud of the project from 15 years ago display or sell it awesome job awesome colorway❤
As a Virgo, I was going to suggest re-doing the seams on your 15 yr old blanket but reading the other comments, you should just finish it with a border and appreciate your growth.
To me it seems your heart doesnt want to disturb your earlier workings, where your brains are seeing it as it is and wants to make modifications that will improve the throw. If it were me, I'd take it lovingly apart and know that my younger self would appreciate the efforts made. The sweater is super sweet!! If youre truly giving it away, add pockets. Theyll give a bit of intrest and make a snuggly place to put chilled hands. As far as button color, the dark button brings out the flecks in the yarn. The medium works just as well. The light buttons ??. Different strokes, different folks 😉 Im looking forward to your stitch lessons! I love the way you crochet! Soooo dang fast!!! Please show us more!!!
Don't fix it. It is a chapter in your crochet journey. Love it!!! Keep your blanket from 15 years ago. Clean up the ends and throw on a border. I love it!!! Show us when you're done.❤❤
Juan, you have a beautiful 15 year old momento. Clean up the ends and put a border on it and display with pride!! It is truly beautiful.
Juan the blanket is beautiful. Secure the ends. Maybe a border. The importance of it is the sentimental value. And… it’s for the house ❗️😉
If you love it, keep it the way it is. 😊 it’s a great way to see where you started and how far you’ve come!
Don’t fix it! Just finish it off and enjoy it. Use it as a reminder of how far you’ve come. Great color combo! Love it
Celebrate the back of the blanket for what it is. Just finish it up and enjoy it as part of your crochet heritage. P.S., your hair is SO gorgeous! Best regards, -Paul from Orlando.
How wonderful you have something you made 15 years ago. Display it with pride.
I completely agree! 😍
Don't try to fix it. The colors are awesome. Maybe just add a border, and use it as a throw in your home. I love it! We all improve over the years. Nothing wrong with treasuring something you put your heart into. ❤️
Thank you!! I just might do that!!
I would finish it, add more and call the blanket my " then and now" afghan
Yes, I'd add a border and treasure the memory, it's lovely by the way!😊
Great design.
Add a simple border.
Then create another as the now version. Then treasure both!
I agree. It's beautiful! Just add a border and use it as a throw. It's really lovely.
I would keep the Sweater! It’s Awesome! It’s your first sweater! I love it! It looks great on you! Cozy and squishy with a hood too! Love it!✨🎯
Love the blanket, keep as is, and just put a border on it. Colors are great. The blanket is a nice size.
Beautiful sweater and scarf. What a special gift for someone in need.
OMG, You are very talented. I'm really loving your channel. That afghan is beautiful. I would suggest keeping it as is and possibly adding a short napped tattered fringe to the whole inseam, with a mixed blend of all colors. Give it a kinda distressed seam on the backside and probably a twisted fringe border too. I absolutely love the colors you've done that in. The hooded sweater is gorgeous. It would be a shame to not enjoy. I would add length to it and make it a bathrobe. Forget the buttons add pockets, a belt and loops. It would be great to lounge around in during those cold winter days. Looks so comfortable. Congrats on your channel. Your very pleasant to listen to while I'm crocheting. Best of luck and thanks for sharing.

Thank you!!! I’ll definitely consider that!
You look wonderful now and you are loved.
My advice: find matching fleece fabric and crochet attach it to the back of the afghan. It makes it twice as cuddly and warm. I’ve done this technique many times after seeing it on Mikey’s channel. Love love LOVE your afghan by the way. I may have to screenshot it and copy it. Chef’s kiss!
You should keep it! It shows how far you have come in your crochet journey. Happy you kept it after all these years. I think it looks great! 🙂
Love the blanket! Keep it as it is , it shows how far you have come!

Your 15yr old blanket is lovely, id say finish the ends and definitely use it 🎉❤
Lola!!! Great Job!!! Have a good night!!!❤
Yes, keep it to remind yourself of the beautiful journey and the progressions that you have made.
Definitely keep it. It’s beautiful. If you have the drive and extra yarn redo you joins. It also looks great the way it is.
Very beautiful blanket. You learn as you grow. Display it with pride!
Keep going as you did then. What a wonderful keepsake of your beginnings. A truly beautiful piece. Love it as is.
I love it!! Just maybe . Border it or just sew in your ends and display it!! It's such a beautiful display of art! I wish I still had my very first afghan!! Love, love. Love your colors I love it all! Definitely keep it!!
Now , your sweater is beautiful! I like the ebony button as best as I can see online. I like my sweaters baggy. That said, anyone would be crazy not yo like getting such a great sweater.

Leave the blanket love it. Memories. The sweater ebony buttons to match the scarf. 🩷🧶
Don't worry, it's for the house still a beautiful blanket, I would put a trim and be proud of your work beautiful design with nice colors
The blanket is a part of your journey. Tuck in the ends and keep it moving. Blessings. 🧶🤓
I would keep it and add on..because it shows you how far you have come..it's beautiful to me
I would finish the blanket and maybe put a backing on it. It's a beautiful design.
The sweater looks like a boyfriend sweater. Big and comfy. 😍
Keep it. It's beautiful so just display it. It is a part of your progress, enjoy it. 😊
It's a beautiful blanket! Nobody is going to judge you on the underside. Nobody looks at the underside when they have it on them. Weaving in the ends will make the back look much better.
If it drives your perfectionism into overdrive, then take it apart and re-sew it properly. Just don't let it sit there. It will be a good project to work on while watching TH-cam.
I am as much a process crocheter as a product crocheter. I will rip and redo without a thought, since I'm enjoying the act of crochet. Do I have to start over? Ok. More to crochet!
I also made a hat and scarf set with Puzzle. That colorway is Jigsaw. I crocheted my scarf lengthwise so that I could have vertical stripes. I love how it came out!
I love your blanket as it is. The colors are gorgeous. We all started somewhere. I would keep it and just curl up in it. And don't cringe at your joins. You've learned differently since but that was your knowledge base 15 years ago. Just my opinion! I love it! Thanks Juan.
Congrats on your dramatic weight loss. I'm just sorry your health isn't the best. I come from a family of diabetics and the men almost all have heart issues. I'm lucky at 67 to have neither yet. Please continue your obviously healthy lifestyle!
I love the younger Juan blanket. I would Not take it apart. It is sentimental. Possibly add a white border and its good to go!
You have so many nice blankets. Sell them for alot for all of your hard work. Plenty of people will pay for Handmade!
Omg keep it!!!!! Who cares what the back looks like? Only you!!! It's too beautiful to lose.
The sweater and scarf are amazing ❤❤ congratulations on your health journey. I hope your heart is better. Maybe someone at your Dr's office ?? Is there someone that you have seen there that might love it?
The oversized look of your cardi is actually SUPER cute! I think you should rock it
Hi 👋🏼 what a great combo on your heirloom blanket!
With your acquired seaming knowledge I’d say take it apart and redo!!!
OR get some fleece and attach it to the back and it will be super warm 😊
I would keep it and treasure it as a beautiful memory. It’s gorgeous. I would either continue on with the knowledge u have now or add a border and call it a day. I won’t redo it. Love it❤
I love it....me, personally, i would leave it...but thats just me...i think it gives it personality....☺️
I love that blanket the way it is. I would leave it alone, weave in your ends, and either display it or donate it.
Leave the blanket alone hide your tails and use it. Great pattern and love the colors. Awesome that you crochet for the needy hats to keep them warm.
Your 15 yr old blanket is so cool!! Love the design and colors. Don’t fix it, it’s great to remember and appreciate how much we’ve learned. Great lap blanket!
Congratulations on your health journey. I am also type two diabetes and am on my weight loss journey. It’s a daily challenge but we’re not alone in it. Crochet has turned into my relaxing happy place, it’s therapy. Even more when we get to bless others with what we do. You’re awesome, Juan 🎉
You are a good person for making those beanies for people less fortunate 🥰
I think it is awesome don't rip it apart I would buy that from you I think it looks great you should be proud of the project from 15 years ago display or sell it awesome job awesome colorway❤
As a Virgo, I was going to suggest re-doing the seams on your 15 yr old blanket but reading the other comments, you should just finish it with a border and appreciate your growth.
I love the blanket! Just do the boarder! And hang it over the sofa back or on the wall! ❤❤❤
To me it seems your heart doesnt want to disturb your earlier workings, where your brains are seeing it as it is and wants to make modifications that will improve the throw. If it were me, I'd take it lovingly apart and know that my younger self would appreciate the efforts made.
The sweater is super sweet!! If youre truly giving it away, add pockets. Theyll give a bit of intrest and make a snuggly place to put chilled hands. As far as button color, the dark button brings out the flecks in the yarn. The medium works just as well. The light buttons ??.
Different strokes, different folks 😉
Im looking forward to your stitch lessons! I love the way you crochet! Soooo dang fast!!! Please show us more!!!
Keep it Wall hanging "put your past behind you"❤❤❤❤
