    Making a blanket seems cool, cuz then you get to have a blanket on your lap while you're working.

    I’m BRAND new to crochet and spent my entire day yesterday making 9 total granny squares so hearing how quickly you worked gives me hope that I may actually get faster at this. You’re brilliant
    Also I LOVE your nail colors. So pretty.

    The best of it was, when you told your dog not to sit on the blanket.
    His look was priceless

    I’ve done the math!
    26hrs 50mins=1610mins=96600sec
    162st*225rows=36450total stitches
    96600/36450= about 2.5 seconds per stitch! And that’s NOT including time needed for color changes! I’d say that’s pretty stinking fast 🤪❤️

    The different 'weird' colours between the colours (around 6:24 ) might be caused by the way the original drawing was saved. If possible save the drawing as .PNG instead of .jpg. This should make a picture with only your intended 6 colours, and without the weird transition between colours.
