@@alicefoster5341 I'll definitely keep this in mind. I too (especially being a music major in college) can be distracted by music behind instruction. My brain doesn't know which to focus on.
Bonnie, I’m so in love with your work! I’m left handed and not many videos are easy for me to follow and of course I’m seventy and I’ve been crocheting about two years. I bought a couple of your books. I’m also dyslexic, found this out later in life. You are just so precious to me. My husband found out he has cancer, stage 3-4 in February and I tag along with my big crochet bag and portable oxygen for myself while he gets a treatment. 52 years of doing hair and smelling hairspray took a toll on my lungs. I’m so blessed to follow your videos on TH-cam with my smartphone. I hope you know you have a ministry. Thank you! thank you! thank you, and God bless you!
Dear Christy, I'm so very sorry to hear of your situation, especially with your dear husband's cancer. I will add you to my prayer list. Having helped my mom with oxygen, I have a vague idea of your struggle and limitations that can bring. May God bless all you do as you seek to serve your husband and others you meet at the hospital and along the way. I do have this design in a left-handed format, and I hope this helps you in a small way. If you ever need help finding a left-handed version, just contact me directly at bonniebay@me.com.

Many thanks for uploading such beautiful afghans. Your tutorials have been the only ones I have really been able to follow and really are the reason I even got back into crocheting.
oh my goodness. thank you so so much for this tutorial! it’s such a beautiful and impressive blanket that i can NOT wait to get started on. you’re gonna make me look like a real pro after i finish this one lol. i appreciate all the hard work and time that you put into to sharing your craft for others to enjoy. so thankful i stumbled across your channel.❤
You are an amazing teacher. I am new to crochet and this is the 2nd blanket I have done. It actually came out beautifully. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.
This is gorgeous!! Love how you explained with a dark background and white yarn. You don’t skip anything. I can wait to make this!! Even though is January, I’ll make it as Christmas gifts for my daughters.
I hadn't done any crochet for over 30 years and then I found you!!😊 I'm making the throw in a lovely buttery cream chunky wool, and your video is so good.... clear and easy to understand, that it feels as though it was only yesterday when I last made something crocheted. The throw is making up beautifully, and I'm really excited to watch it grow and finally see it finished. Many thanks to you. May the Lord bless and keep you always in His peace. 😊😊❤❤
I’ve just finished one of these in white and it’s absolutely beautiful. I’ve posted it off to NZ to my sister for her 75th birthday I hope she appreciates it. I just love it so much I’ve started one in dusty pink. Thank you for being an amazing teacher. ❤
@@BonnieBayCrochet I’ve just completed another one in dusty pink and I think I will keep it for myself I just love it. What other textured ones do you have?
@@saleightindal8233 I would LOVE a photo of that color to share on social media. Could you send a photo to me at bonniebay@me.com? If not, no problem. Here's a playlist that will keep you busy for some time Saleigh: th-cam.com/play/PLoIugZBYOS0Udr7tGiPfi-17m6DSeUI02.html
This is absolutely amazing, I cannot even put in words to tell you how thankful I am for this, this is so beautiful, I love how it is a nice calming pattern to create! Thank you so much for your time and effort put into making this for us! ❤❤❤
Word! I am new to knitting, can't wrap my head around crocheting yet, and I did not realize it was going to be so complex until I started watching the video. It is gorgeous! so one day I hope I will be able to make it.
So far I am with you Bonnie. I have never been abke to follow your instruction for some reason but with your babysitting this project, I am doing it!!!! Thank you
Gorgeous blanket. And I love how your nails change with each segment of the tutorial. That would be a great guide as to where your at in the pattern. Would love to make this someday so I’ll keep it on my waitlist ❤
Thank you Jeanna! You can tell that it took me some time between segments on this one. I was also crocheting this during the Thanksgiving & Christmas holidays.
🙋♀️ciao Bonny.. Guess what I did todag.. I got myself.. a bunch of Purple colored Skeins.. da Girl from da Shop asked "what Youre crochetin this time Ma'am?" She knows Me well😉.. I gonna start in a while (9.19 pm) this awesome Throw... Yup.. this is my new Project... thank You so much for Your inspiration 🌹.. 💕Dru🙃...
Just started this in a beautiful cream coloured wool for my mum. So far it's turning out to be really lovely. Absolutely fantastic instructions, clear and easy to follow, stitch counts at exactly the right times, well paced and no awful jingly music in the background. It's truly a wonder we can watch this for free
Using a binder to cut tassel strands is genius! I My tip is to take your tassels/fringe from the outside of a new skein.... You can usually avoid having to steam it.
Not watched this yet, but I am looking forward to it! It looks lovely and it's so relaxing listening to you speak and watching you crochet... while I do nothing!😂
I’m so excited for this! I ordered all the supplies for both me and my daughter to each make one of these over Thanksgiving vacation together. Thank you thank you thank you for this video!!!
Bonnie, you have the most awesome tutorials, I'm making this one for my step-Dad in Australia, I'm from NZ, he's 94 soon and feels the cold even though he's in Cairns so i can't wait to make it for him. I'm using Lion Brand landscape and it's starting to look awesome, I'm definitely going to put up on my channel plus tag you to it. Thanks so much for the tutorial ❤
This is beautiful. I just got done your basket weave blanket. I absolutely love it. I did it in Bernat Blanket Tye Dyish in Green Moss. It turned out so heavy but I love it. It's my favorite. You need a heavy blanket to sit and watch tv in these days of more expense, and turning down the thermastat. Thank You for bringing this to us. I will have to give this one a try too. Stay Safe and God Bless.
Thank you so much for this lovely tutorial Bonnie. The design involves a lot of intricate stitches but you made it all look so simple ! Thank you so much❤. I have been brave enough to take on this project and currently working on the same. I m quite enjoying the learning of new stitches. I hope to complete this project and when I do this is indeed going to be my "most special" make😁! My heartfelt thanks to you.❤
This is such a beautiful throw. Your design is awesome. Going to add this to my list. Have so many WIPS. Like your tutorials, they are so explanatory and viewing is great. Looking forward to seeing your ideas for tbe year. May this be your best year yet!!! Blessings🙏🏼🙅🏽♀️
My ancestors came from Scotland and Ireland. I love all your blankets and today I’m trying really hard to work this one I would like to just have one blanket that would remind me of them. Thank you so much Bonnie’s for your patience and your time. God bless.
@@tennysoneffie6943 you may be able to find a maker of these on Etsy or other platform. I'm keeping my version for our home or special gift. I've found that folks aren't eager to pay what these are really worth when considering the time invested. I hope you can find a crafter who does these!
Ok…I have a habit of challenging myself past my level of expertise & boy oh boy! This is a challenge but…I’m happy to say I’m on row 66 & it’s coming out beautifully! 😊 Yes, I’ve definitely made mistakes but I’m really proud of myself! You are an amazing teacher! Thank you! ❤
I've never ever seen such a beautiful throw in my life. I will make this as a birthday gift for my mom. Hopefully I can make it by her birthday!! Thank you for sharing this video!!
I am amazed.i am so excited to try making this for my newborn grandson.cause i cant imagine making this big...😂 so i will do a smaller version..thank you so much for sharing your video❤
Thank you for this! Its been so fun learning new stitches, making mistakes and just letting that be ok because its so beautiful anyway. Also your nails are on point.
I’m in the process of making this. I’m halfway through…. After MANY tries……. I’m getting there. lol You’re instructions are fantastic. Your work is beautiful. I’m a novice and am tackling this project. It’s not as smooth and neat as yours…. I’ll get there. I’ll leave a comment at the finish. Thank you for sharing this with us. 🤗
@@BonnieBayCrochet - I’m struggling with perfection NOT being a concern. Hahaha This is great for me to practice ‘letting go’… after many times ripping out sections and starting over- I now allow myself to rip out 2 rows max. lol Thank you again. This is truly a fun throw to make.
You are so awesome. I’m just learning crochet. I’m still trying to get use to not making everything so tight. Thank you so much for your very detail instructions and wonderfully calming voice ❤❤❤
Thank you thank you thank you so much for your patience and going step by step with us , it’s so much appreciated! ❤ You encouraged and inspired me to start on this project !
That is a beautiful throw. I love it and I love the way you help us through it. I have ordered the pattern ( my first to order) so I can make this afghan for a dear friend. I am 75 years old and this may be my last one. I have made The Fisherman Afghan . I made about 7 of them to give away. I also love that one. It would have been so much easier on me if I would if had you to help me. I taught myself to crochet and it hasn’t been easy. Thank you again for being so gracious as to help us crochet 1:53:08 this afghan.
My pleasure Carolyn! You are still young my friend! I care for my mother-in-law, who is almost 94 and still going strong! It sometimes takes a couple of us to keep up with her.
Bonnie, thank you so much for your videos! I went from years of single and double stitches for years until I saw your Celtic Crochet blanket. With many start overs and much pulling out, I finally finished. Your instruction is amazing! Im so looking forward to making more creations with you! Thank you!
10/14/2023: Aloha from Hawaii. This is absolutely GORGEOUS. Thinking about making this one as a Christmas gift for my sister. Okay, let me watch the complete video. BEAUTIFUL AFGHAN. Thank you for sharing.✝️👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🌺
Wishing you all the best! Love your channel name. If you don't mind, I have a song for you and specifically for Lahaina. I had the honor of being asked to play the Native American flute not this song my friend wrote as an attempt to encourage this town and the people of Hawaii: th-cam.com/video/X5cU4U4Uxeg/w-d-xo.html
@@BonnieBayCrochet 😱😱😱😱😱The book is $8.93 but to ship/hand to Hawaii is $18.91. No, I do not want her book that bad. I was SHOCKED to say the least, Sister Bonnie. WOWOWOWOWOW.
Where are you ordering this from? I honestly have no control over how much other companies or individuals charge if they are charging this much. Shipping is FREE from my Etsy store for this leaflet.@@JESUSISLORDFOREVERMORE888
Dank je wel voor deze schitterende tutorial. Ik heb deze deken met heel veel plezier gemaakt. Ik hou van jouw dekens, je gebruikt zulke mooie steken bij elkaar en de ze keer de verrassende franje... Super!! Ik ga mijn dochter er blij mee maken. Ik heb hem in een mooie kleur gemaakt die bij haar interieur past. Ze is net getrouwd..... Nogmaals bedankt Bonnie❤

I have been hunting for a really long time for help to get me beyond just basic crocheting, WOW lady, you are an amazing instructor!! I’m so ecstatic to have found you and have already shared you with friends. I can’t wait to start this project!!! Thank you so very much!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this demo, it is so thorough from start to finish. Even though I have only been doing g crochet for a couple of weeks you have made me feel that even I can tackle so.ething like this. Massive thank you again
I am doing this beautiful blanket for my BBF. It is challenging have at times felt like tearing my hair out, but I am absolutely loving doing this and the challenge of doing this and seeing the results of it.Doing it in the white
I can't wait to get started. I have to finish a project first. I'm not allowed to start another until I do. Too many WIPs going. It was beautiful work.
I absolutely love this blanket! I really enjoyed the Celtic music☘🇮🇪 I do want to make this just not sure when but, it is on my list. Thank you so much for this tutorial. Wishing you a beautiful blessed day 🙏🏻🤗💖☘
Wow your in instructions are amazing. I am a new crocheter and I never would have thought I could attempt this blanket. But after watching I think I could maybe! I will start with some of your beginner ones first. Thanks!
As long as you can confidently crochet evenly in rows Julia, and know the basic crochet stitches (sc,dc, hdc, tr, etc,), you should give it a go! Maybe trying small samples of the stitches would helpful before making that 200+ starting chain.
I've just started making this , it's absolutely gorgeous 😍. Thank you for sharing 😊 ❤️. This is the first of your tutorials I've ever attempted , but it won't be the last . Thanks again x
Hi Bonnie, thank you so much for this gorgeous blanket pattern! I'm making it now and it's turning out beautifully. This will be my first attempt at making one of your blankets and many of the stitches I've never done before but you make them so easy to follow. I'm having so much fun with this one....thanks again!
That is a masterpiece! It's stunning!!! I would love to make this some day. I have so many things on my list...I wish I could crochet and knit really fast!!! Thank you for sharing! Take care!!!
Absolutely beautiful and what a phenomenal tutorial. Thank you so much. I will do this however I fear there will not be any housework done for sometime and the adults in the house can fend for themselves as I will be way too busy. I am in Scotland so will try and source similar yarn. Thank you once again, so glad I found your name whilst searching through Amazon for a book 🙂. Kindest regards. ❤️
I LOVE your comment Helen! You made me smile today, especially about fearing that the housework won't get done for a while. As I often tell my friends, if you come to see me, come on in! If you come to see my house, please make an appointment! Wishing you all the best.
Wonderful demo. And no annoying music. I am going to start this now. Thankyou.
I hope you enjoy it Christine!

My tip is to take your tassels/fringe from the outside of a new skein.... You can usually avoid having to steam it.
Great tip Victoria! I have also done that in the past when using larger skeins.

10/14/2023: Aloha from Hawaii. This is absolutely GORGEOUS. Thinking about making this one as a Christmas gift for my sister. Okay, let me watch the complete video. BEAUTIFUL AFGHAN. Thank you for sharing.✝️👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🌺
Wishing you all the best! Love your channel name. If you don't mind, I have a song for you and specifically for Lahaina. I had the honor of being asked to play the Native American flute not this song my friend wrote as an attempt to encourage this town and the people of Hawaii: th-cam.com/video/X5cU4U4Uxeg/w-d-xo.html
@@BonnieBayCrochet Do you have this particular afghan in a WRITTEN PATTERN? Mahalo ( thank you ).
Yes, this is available from Leisure Arts at this link: shrsl.com/3vgwo@@JESUSISLORDFOREVERMORE888
@@BonnieBayCrochet 😱😱😱😱😱The book is $8.93 but to ship/hand to Hawaii is $18.91. No, I do not want her book that bad. I was SHOCKED to say the least, Sister Bonnie. WOWOWOWOWOW.
Where are you ordering this from? I honestly have no control over how much other companies or individuals charge if they are charging this much. Shipping is FREE from my Etsy store for this leaflet.@@JESUSISLORDFOREVERMORE888
Dank je wel voor deze schitterende tutorial. Ik heb deze deken met heel veel plezier gemaakt.
Ik hou van jouw dekens, je gebruikt zulke mooie steken bij elkaar en de ze keer de verrassende franje... Super!!

I am doing this beautiful blanket for my BBF. It is challenging have at times felt like tearing my hair out, but I am absolutely loving doing this and the challenge of doing this and seeing the results of it.Doing it in the white
I can't wait to get started. I have to finish a project first. I'm not allowed to start another until I do. Too many WIPs going. It was beautiful work.
I absolutely love this blanket! I really enjoyed the Celtic music☘🇮🇪 I do want to make this just not sure when but, it is on my list. Thank you so much for this tutorial.
Wishing you a beautiful blessed day 🙏🏻🤗💖☘
Thanks again for your sweet encouragement Denise! I so appreciate you!
@@BonnieBayCrochet you are so very welcome 🤗🙏🏻
Wow your in instructions are amazing. I am a new crocheter and I never would have thought I could attempt this blanket. But after watching I think I could maybe! I will start with some of your beginner ones first. Thanks!
As long as you can confidently crochet evenly in rows Julia, and know the basic crochet stitches (sc,dc, hdc, tr, etc,), you should give it a go! Maybe trying small samples of the stitches would helpful before making that 200+ starting chain.
Bonnie, you are an amazing crocheter. This is such a beautiful pattern. Thank You. Love from Ontario, Canada
My pleasure Mary!
Beautiful! Your demo is so clear and easy to follow, thankyou
This is a very beautiful work.Just awesome

Absolutely beautiful and what a phenomenal tutorial. Thank you so much. I will do this however I fear there will not be any housework done for sometime and the adults in the house can fend for themselves as I will be way too busy.
I am in Scotland so will try and source similar yarn.
Thank you once again, so glad I found your name whilst searching through Amazon for a book 🙂.
Kindest regards. ❤️
I LOVE your comment Helen! You made me smile today, especially about fearing that the housework won't get done for a while. As I often tell my friends, if you come to see me, come on in! If you come to see my house, please make an appointment! Wishing you all the best.
