I love your videos. You explain everything so clearly and precisely. Your beautiful accent takes me back 50 years to when I worked with 2 Scottish ladies who helped me refine my knitting skills. Now another Scottish lady is helping me refine my crocheting skills. Thank you Allison for taking me back to a happy time in my life.
Beautiful! And as always, you break down the pattern to show how simple it is to create your beautiful projects! Such an excellent teacher! Thank you for your tutorials! Love the color changing cake! I made one a while back as a stash buster, but used one color per row (LOTS of tails to sew in!). Because no one told me otherwise, I looped the loops together as I went, using stitch markers to keep them in place. I was able to just pick up the last loop of each chain and carry on with the border. I wasn't faced with a sea of loose loops at the end. Whew!🥰
The way you teach is just wonderful. I appreciate that you don’t demonstrate the stitches too fast and that you explain things so well. I also love listening to your accent...so charming.
YOUR CHANNEL IS AMAZING OH MY GOSH.... I LOVE THOSE THINGS YOU MAKE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE MADE FROM BUT THE FROGS ARE AMAZING. th-cam.com/channels/rqXwXQFM8RT9SWBdx0h2NQ.htmlvideos
Good morning! who needs sleep when you have crochet.. I didn't seep much myself. I'm back to getting up early again. Colder weather I need an electric blanket. Maybe some crochet sheets hahahaha
@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel Now that sounds like a good idea but which pattern and wool would you choose to keep you all snuggly? 🤔😉 Have a nice day Alison & not forgetting Mutly of course 🐶🥰🌺
Thanks so much 😊 I thought the loops might catch dont want to be carrying a baby and a loop gets caught in a door handle or something, you could do smaller loops and do them closer together say 6 chain every 2nd or 3rd stitch
Your channel is my go to for projects. You’re an amazing teacher, I count my blessings every time I’m here exploring possibilities. You bring hope and inspiration into my heart as I use to struggle for years trying to get the hang of it. I’m so glad you’re apart of my crochet experience. I look forward to all of your content. Happy Crocheting 🧶
@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel oh I definitely browse everything 💜 I am grateful that I am able to create and give to the ones I love something lovely and it’s a little piece of me all at the same time. 💜
I made this blanket for senior citizens and that's all everybody's talking about. It's so easy I don't know how to curse a rip pattern but this one is beautiful and I made it myself. I love your patterns I love your tutorials keep up the good work
Another lovely blanket. I've heard of this stitch before but never watch a video of how to do it until now. I always felt intimidated when I'd see a picture of it. I'm so happy I've watched your video. It's so much easier than I feared. Thank you so much Alison xxoo
Allison I really like this one .... you explained it so beautifully I will definitely be making it. I so much appreciate you and your tutorials and your time.
I just finished this one today! It’s the first blanket I’ve made and I’m so happy. Can’t wait to give it to my friend who is about to have a baby. Thank you for the easy to follow video!
Crochet is new to me and I did a couple of babies blankets already but the one you are showing is so beautiful without being hard for a learner. This will be my next blanket. You gave a great tutorial. I had to adjust my ears to your accent as English is not my first language but after a few minutes I was ok.
Thank you. I just love all your tutorials the blankets are georgous and stunning ... beautiful beautiful. Please don't stop sharing with us you are excellent at what you do and I can manage to learn exactly what you're doing because of your patience and clarity. Thank you thank you so much. 👍🏾🤗
I loved learning this design. Its beautiful. I had seen a similar display before but they never showed how to finish and the directions were confusing. Thank you for being careful to show the details of the loop also. I live in Vernal, Utah USA it is also known as Dinosaurland. Come see us some summer.😍
Love it! I live in the USA (Phoenix, AZ), but wish I lived next door to you! I would love to crochet with you, I always pick up the best tips and ideas!
Oh Alison, I've been wanting to do this for ages. I know it's possible now because you explain everything so well. Thank you so much. 🤗 It's now on my list of to do but will jump the queue. 😊
You are a great teacher! I can follow you so we’ll. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Hopefully making this blanket for my nieces baby coming in May. Wish me luck, I will probably need it.
Oh, I really like this one! I look forward to seeing each new project you have! I also really appreciate you saying the difference between the UK stitch and the USA. I learned to crochet when I lived in Scotland but I learned from an American so it wasn't confusing for me!
Thank you so much! I to have had a big American influence my friend Cassandra is American and she was crocheting a big blanket that's what started me doing it again
Wonderful! what yarn did you make it in? I was going to make a wide wide shawl pocket type scarf but put sleeves on each end to turn it into a stole type shawl almost like a bat wing cardigan for my daughter with this loop lines running through it.
@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel at the time i did that blanket i used redheart super saver that was when my first daughter was born 33 years ago i did hers in different purples xx
Alison this is so very stunning, I was trying to decide what pattern of yours to make for a new family baby coming in January and here go again another pattern for me to do. You have so many beautiful blankets and so far I have done about seven, when you say easy they are.. I've only been crocheting maybe close to three years and you make it so easy.. Many thanks for your fabulous patterns.. 🐦
Great video. The instructions were slow and clear so I could follow you. You explained every step and why you were doing it very well. I am definitely going to make this beauty now that I know how. Thank you. 👍💙
I love the look of this beautiful stitch, I am certainly going to try making a scarf for myself and a special friend of mine, it looks amazing. Thank you so much for the way you explain everything so clearly and go over the stitches so many times, you are certainly such a great tutor. Keep up the good work xx
My late mother in law made blankets like this but she put 2 and 3 maybe more ladders next to each other and then criss crossed the rungs like cables. I've never seen another jacob's ladder blanket quite like how she made hers. I may or may not have pictures of what they looked like. I believe my sister in law has at least 1 of the original blankets.
Hi Allison! I just love love love your channel! After watching this video, I am half finished my own blanket! Thank you for being so clear in your instructions! P.s., I could listen to you talk all day! I was born in Edinburgh but I have no accent, lol!❤️❤️
Beautiful blanket which I’m very tempted to try, what size hook are you using? I’m a knitter usually so brand new to crochet. Is this a bit adventurous for a 1st timer?
use the hook size your yarn label says. I change my hooks sometimes as I crochet slack so my tension needs tightening and a smaller hook does that. Any time you need help just ask
@@AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel thank you for replying, still trying to get my head around holding the yarn for proper tension 🤦♀️ worried it’s too slack
OMG!!! Soooo beautiful!!! This is the next one I want to try!! Thank you so much Alison ❣️ I would not have the courage to try if you wouldn’t explain it so well!! Honestly, that’s so important! I gave up on others because they lost me fast, just didn’t explain it well. I’m a beginner and crochet 4 of your work in the last month. I absolutely love it!! Can’t go one day without crocheting a couple of hours, at least! Keep going, don’t change a bit!!! Greetings from Canada ❤️
Gorgeous, making this for a boy. Others were a bit girly but this suits both sexes. Thank you, love following you! Love from Auckland New Zealand 🇳🇿❤️☀️
Hi! Ms.Allison, this blanket is so gorgeous. Thank you so much for your patience in sharing and teaching us/me this precious skill. Ms. Allison, you have given me an outlet to always reach out to in helping me cope and survive this ‘new normal’ we all are facing. Your voice is so inspiring and soothing as it makes me want to continue learning this new skill especially from you. Thanks again, continue to be safe, remain blessed. Continue to teach us/me because I’ll continue to 👀👀. 🌹🌹💕💯
I am in the U.S. and really enjoyed watching this! You are a very good teacher. 😊👍 I was hoping to see exactly how you added the ribbon and tied your bow. Maybe next time? I’m also going to subscribe. 😉
Thank you! 😃 Pat the ribbon just goes under one stitch and over the other all the way around. I cheat with the bows as my bow maker broke. I buy handmade hairbows that just clip on I get them from amazon 4 inch hair bows.
PLEASE NOTE.. ONLY CHAIN 2 EXTRA NOT 3 THEN BEGIN YOUR CROCHET IN THE 4TH STITCH IN THE CHAIN. I must have miscounted my chain
It works now!!! Thank u
What a lively idea! Thanks. Have to try this 👍❤️
Which part of the GB are you from? Scottish?
I should have written lovely 😄 Do you use lively in Scottish? I'm from Finland. No polar bears here 😄 Your accent is adorable 👍 ☀️ Happy New Year!
Now it adds up. Thanks for the correction.
