Thanks! We decided to get together as a family to crochet. So my two daughters and 4 granddaughters will meet (probably weekly)to watch and work together on the blocks. 🎉
I am so excited for this series. I love how you create your own shit. I've been watching you for YEARS. I learned how to make quilts from you. I am 63 so I think we are close in age. Best tip I ever got from you was the Elmer's glue on my nails. Lol.
OMG Darlene! I can’t tell you how excited I am for this crochet series!! I never comment but I couldn’t contain my excitement! 😂
WOW Darlene you have motivated me to pick up my yarn and hook. I said, “shoot I can do this” I love simple. Beginner here. First block done. Now, I wait for block #2. Thank you
Girl, you got this. 😉
Darlene has motivated me, too!! Just got my new hooks and yarn!!! Thanks, Darlene!!!
Yay !!! Thank you Darlene. Love that we are doing solids. Also the teamwork element is super fun and makes a person feel a little less lonely ♥️
Thanks Darlene
For sharing how to crochet this pattern. This is my first time doing this. You are a very good teacher😊
So happy I found your channel
Hi Darlene. LOVE your colors. This is going to be fun!!!
I love your Videos Darlene. And I can very easyly understand your englisch.
I just had to reach out and tell you how much I've enjoyed your TH-cam channel over the past 7 years. I'm absolutely hooked on all of your videos, from your heartfelt chats and vulnerable moments to your hair-cutting tutorials (I'm Joking haha), engaging car vlogs, and sewing videos.
This video has quickly become one of my favourites. The way you teach is a true gift - you're incredibly resourceful, informative, and such a joy to watch. You're creating a legacy that will undoubtedly help and inspire so many people for years to come.
I could listen to you for hours on end. Your honesty is so refreshing and relatable. Watching your tutorials reminds me of being at my grandmother's house, learning skills from her - there's a warmth and familiarity in your approach that's just so comforting.
Love, love, love everything you're doing, Darlene. Please, keep being you. The world needs more genuine, kind-hearted people like yourself. Sending you respect and blessings all the way from the North East of the UK. 💕
Thank you so much for this instruction video. You’re the best one I’ve ever tried to follow. I’m so excited for this crochet of the month!!!!!!😊❤
That made a beautiful block!
Loving this. Haven’t crocheted for decades. It took me several tries to get it right. Finally finished a block. But now I’m starting the “real” block. Bought a K hook and Big Twist yarn. I love the way you teach. So excited to spend the year doing this project. Thank you!
Thank you this sounds like a great project to do.❤ Love ❤.God Bless everyone Love and prayers ❤😊.
I'm excited for this series. already have January's done and can't wait for next months block. My first moss stitch...lol
Thanks so much Darlene. I just watched and did a swatch of your July Block. I find your style of teaching very comfortable, so will very much enjoy crocheting along with your Afghan. Already I've learned so much (especially the no-chain turn. .fab!). In the past I've mainly just done double treble Granny Rugs, with each row a different colour, but am ready to learn more stitches. I'm also altering a beautiful crocheted vest, (not made by me) which was too high at the back of my neck, so I am "bodging" my way through evening out the new edges to reattach to the band .... I laughed out loud as I was doing your Trinity swatch... as before my very eyes was appearing the pattern from my vest... this will make my alteration both SO much easier, but also look much smarter. Cheers! 💜💙💚💫
Hi Darlene,
I saw something in a magazine that I thought you might like. It's a clear plastic storage box that holds 6 skeins of yarn. Drill 6 holes in the top for yarn to pull through!
I would be happy to share photo with you 😉
TB from SD Ca.
Love the stitch and the edge. You explained so well. I am excited to get started. Thank you 🎉
Thanks sooo much! I love your idea of once a month blanket/throw. Can’t wait till next month.
I like this stitch. Nice and tight! It would make a great dishcloth, too! I have a lot of skeins of different layer cakes. I'm thinking of using those. Thanks, Darlene :)
Very very pretty !
I'm excited for the Crocheting series, I need to get yarn and a hook!
Pretty block.
Darlene, I'm so excited with this new, and exciting crochet square update. Over the years I've crouched different things but you've already shown us new and different ways of doing things and I like that! I love the way you did that border,looks great already! Looking forward to the next one.
You rock, Darlene!! Thank you for sharing and your time!❤
❤ love it Darlene....
Very nice job. Enjoyed watching and your camera shots were great. Cute stitch and so pretty. Thank you. This will be fun!!!
Excellent & saved to my Darlene folder. My daughter does crochet so also shared this with her.
Thank you Darlene, have been following you for some time. Am very happy for this crochet block of the month..
I love this. I don't know how because I have 2 jobs and taking college classes but I am making this! I was wondering about the torture you will have trying to make another matching block using a different stitch! But I know you will figure that out and I can't wait! Glad you are back. Sorry life threw you a punch but you can't keep a good woman down ! Ask me how I know 🤔
I'm more excited for this than most other things this year. 🎉
Sure is a beautiful stitch I’ve never tried this one before. I’ll pick out my yarn tomorrow and get started. Thanks Darlene looks like fun crocheting with friends is always the best!♥️🥰
Great instructions Darlene. I will be joining you on this adventure.
So proud of you for what you have accomplished in your new life with your new move. I really get a kick out of you! 😁 Wishing you the best.
Debra💐
My mom taught me to crochet years ago. I'm left handed so I watched her in a mirror lol. I haven't crocheted in years and am excited that I found your podcast.
Another lefty here! I do embroidery and I watch it upside down on videos. 😂
It’s beautiful.
I love your edges. I’m going to do it your way from now on. Thanks ❤ your block looks so soft and cuddly!
Hi from Texas very cold here.Have not crocheting in years but will try ❤
Hello Darlene, my mom sent me your link from pinterest, you may recognise her as Kitchbaby Lesley from the UK. I do more crochet than knit and she does knit but may try crochet again one day. I love your colours in the first section, i've never tried big twist yarns, i only have bernat premiere, which looks about the same size skein. I will watch each months blocks but i'm not doing a blanket as i have enough blanket wips as it is. Thanks for sharing!
Absolutely easy❤ Love how you explained every stitch. I crocheted years ago and now you've got me "hooked " again ❤❤❤
Thank you you made it easy to follow ❤
I love this idea! I'll be watching and trying this myself to follow along. So excited!!
you explain so well so I think I will start trying this again cause I always had trouble at the ends when I turned always uneven
I love it and I love the colours you have chosen. I have no patience for crochet and knitting but i sure appreciate the work that goes into it. I will still enjoy watching what you come up with Darlene
Moss stitch isn't one I've tried before. :-) Thanks!
Oooh this is gonna be fun!
Oh so beautiful and looks so soft. Going to be a beautiful soft afghan. Thank you 😊
I just recently picked my crochet up again and am trying my hand at granny squares. I love this and learned so much! Thank you! Excited to see what you do next!
Hi! This looks fun! I’ve never crocheted but I would like to learn. I will go back and look at your Intro to Crochet videos👍🏼 I need another crafty hobby!!😂
Really enjoying doing this stitch. Thanks Darlene. It feels good to crochet. It's been a while. 🎉
😊hi Darlene. I usually use the moss stitch for borders as i love the look especially if you do 2 rounds in different colours. Makes such a neat border.I am following your crochet block of the month cant wait to see the next one. Great tip on just turning with no chain 1. 😊
Love this Darlene, I learned to knit & crochet from my Mom. I always have trouble with sides being uneven. I'm excited to try this without the chain 1etc & just turning.. love this stitch as well .
Io like the way you don't do the chain one when you turn. It seems like it's a lot nicer
You are so talented! Really enjoyed this video. You took the stress away.
This is so exciting 🤩
So happy to start this with you. Just watching this has helped me. Thank you. Awesome lady
Thank you for the tip on ending rows without chaining!!! Really does make a difference!
Explanation, check!🙌🏻🙏
Love it❤
Compliments on holding your hook correctly, under not over.
There is no correct way. Everyone gets to hold it any way they want.
Really like the safety pin idea. Looking forward to doing the block of the month.
Oh my goodness Darlene thank you for this video you are absolutely amazing I enjoy watching you make things so simple❤❤❤
Beautiful
This is beautiful ❤
Beautiful consistency......great tip about not adding that single on the end.....I always had wonky rows!😊
You are so fun😊
NICE!!!
Fabulous!! 😊
Now I want to do this! I haven’t crocheted in years!
I’m going to love this series!!! I havent followed a CAL in so long! I just joined a 3 part mosaic CAL and I was up to date until today. Still working on the last few rows of week 2. I’m Sooooooo glad this is a large block and a simple, relaxing stitch! This is exactly what I needed! I’ll pick my colors tomorrow and start my first block. Think I’ll use various colors of brown and cream and maybe a maroon stashing??? Will have to see what next months block is like.
I think it’s so interesting to see how others make their slip knot and how they hold their working yarn. No right/wrong way, just whatever works best for you. I , like you , do not Ch 1 at the end of the round.
Can’t wait to get started! ❤️
Oh, I almost forgot to say…..it’s so nice to see you crocheting again!!! I watch all your videos regardless of their content. I enjoy whatever you decide to do or talk about. I’d even try making paper beads or knitting square if you ever do that, although that scares the daylights out of me. Knitting is tough, for me, but I love learning new things and challenging myself. Thanks for all you do. And say hi to Rocket! (I wish we had that “doggie nip” in Illinois!!! Lol my dog Cheyenne would love it!)
I like this idea, it's less pressure than a daily or weekly temperature blanket. I can manage 1 block a month easily. I'll be using same color for each square to use up yarn from a previous failed blanket!
Nice job Darlene. Simple but pretty.
Woohoo! I'm excited to see all the crochet and knitting stuff! Thank you so much! 💓
Thank you for this . Now I can use up all my left over yarn.
Hi Darlene 💖
Like your camera set up and dark background!
I love all those colors. Looks like I’m going to Joanne fabric.
Way back in the day you used to do "pet montage" videos. Would you consiser doing montages of people's BOM blocks/quilts/afhgans?
It’s funny that I was just thinking about those pet montage the other day. Rocket made me think of them. I can’t believe anyone else even remembers them! I think a montage of the things people make would be cool. Just not sure I’d end up doing it because they are very time-consuming. But I’ll keep it on the back burner!
I was happy to see you don’t crochet with your finger wrapped with yarn and sticking up in the air!! That irks me to no end!!! This is going to be fun, thank you!
That's is so funny because it bugs me too because I don't know how they can crochet that way. I tried it several times just to see if I'd ever get the hang of it, but nope! I can crochet incredibly fast the way I hold it. My finger is my guide to crocheting simple stiches while watching TV. I can crochet without looking at the yard just like I type without looking at the keys. I could never crochet while watching TV if my finger is up in the air and out of control, lol.
Hi Darlene i love your channel, are all of the kitty block of the month measurements going to be the same measurements just thought I would cut ahead or should I wait on you. Thanks
It’s not a kitty block of the month. It’s just a block of the month. I have no clue yet what the specialty block will be. But no, the measurements will not be the same. I’ll be mixing it up each time.
Okay and thank you for replying back, it's a beautiful block to, have a good evening.
❤😊❤
I missed what size hook you said you were using.
size 10 1/2 or K
She is using a" K "hook or 10 1/2
K hook
10 1/2;or K
I just bought a new full set of hooks in preparation of this. But, all my hooks are stated in sizes such as 5.0mm. Maybe from China? Anyway, how do I convert your 10 1/2 (K) to mine. Also, after chaining the 45, does this measure 12 Inches.?
Try Google to find out about the hook size. As for chaining 45 equaling 12 inches, that’s pretty much going to vary for everyone because of different tension. Crochet a few rows, and then measure and see what you get. Your block should come out somewhere around 12 inches.
All the world uses metric sizing except US. Maybe from China, but could be from anywhere. 😊
I love the moss stitch! So so pretty. I’m sorta new to crocheting 🧶 do you think I could keep up with y’all?
Excellent tutorial! Thank you!
