Loving the blankets and the colors are very cool. I am just like you when reading a pattern, always struggle with that. You are correct about the memories, you can never get this time back. Have fun
Love the color of your blankets. I used to set our tent up in the house and left the lights off at night so the kids could turn on their little lantern lights or flashlights. We cooked hotdogs and smores and other camping treats. The kids loved it. Hope you all enjoy no matter what you decide.
SUMMER: Where to place that first stitch; if the ch 3 Counts as a stitch, you skip the first stitch at the base of the ch 3 and stitch in the next. If it does not count as a stitch, you you do use the base of the chain 3. You usually DO NOT count a chain 1 as a stitch.
The blankets are beautiful. Thank you for sharing the pattern. Camp inside with blankets or sheets draped over chairs to make tents. I did that on rainy days with my boys 35 years ago and they loved it. Hope you can still enjoy your vaca crocheting. 🧶
Hi Summer, I love your beautiful blankets!!! So pretty 💖🎶🦋 I'm so sorry you have bad luck with your plans for the kids!! Maybe some fun day trips? Hope you guys have fun doing something!! Please take care and stay safe and healthy 💕💗💖🎶🦋
I have to chuckle when you talk about your binders. I had two and outgrew them. I now have a plastic file box that picked up from dollar general. Works so much better
Love the colors of both of your Hugs & Kisses blankets. That pattern is a yarn eater, I made one a few years ago. But! It's such a pretty pattern, it's worth it. Ha! I always have the same problem with skipping the stitch after a chain or whatever! I copy and paste patterns the same way you do. Spreading it out really helps me, too.
I laughed, I heard my inner self when you said, " I'm not gonna lie, I'd rather stay home and crochet". 🤣🤣🤣🤣 It IS what we do, things the kids love but we could do without. 😍 BOTH versions of your blanket look beautiful! I have been looking for a blanket pattern like this. Thanks for sharing. The stacked single crochet is a stitch I just recently came across. It replaces the chain 2 or 3 at the beginning of a dc row. Drives me nuts too! PS, I always underestimate the amount of yarn I need for blankets. Then I get told my blanket is too short! 🤣🤣🤣
Hi summer you make me smile so much 💞😊 I love both of your blankets 💞 I’m going to see if I can make it 🤞and about going camping 🏕 you should still go camping the kids will love it even in the rains most tents have a protective coating on them to stop them from getting mould no matter what you do have fun 😊💞🧶
beautiful blanket. I ch1 then go back and enter whatever stitch is noted in pattern. Even when patterns don’t say go back in to that first stitch I usually do otherwise there is a huge gap.
Oh my goodness the colors are beautiful!! You have done amazing ! Love it!!! Wow I love you rainbow blanket. It really did work out perfect.when I turn my row I always chain 1 instead of chaining 3 turn my work then double crochet into the same chain. It seems for me to keep a straight edge and fills that first space if you know what I mean. That's just what I do. Not sure if it's right but always works for me. Love your spirit and channel.
I that with my baby sweater's (chain one and then dc) I helps there not be a gap! It is wonderful to have such a great fiber community to share these types of ideas with. Thank you
Great idea fir a rainbow blanket - it’s so pretty! Re: starting row chains: Try using a standing dc or sc at the beginning of the row instead of chains - I started doing this a few years ago after watching Tamara of Moogly crochet tutorial video. I slip st into that first st then make the standing st - this keeps the st count accurate and alleviates the space. Have fun with those kiddos - they may just want to spend time with ‘the folks’!
Hey, Summer.. I sort my yarn the same way... mostly by brand... Love your new blanket...too much counting for me, though... But it looks great... Sorry about the camping trip.. I know you hated to disappoint the kids.. BUT.... Rainy days are great for crocheting.... 😊. I have a big purple 31 bag that I love. It holds lots... I can put several,projects in it... it was a gift from my daughter...who knows I love pretty bags.. I just finished two baby blankets.. Going a baby shower for my niece Saturday...She is expecting her sixth baby! Thus little girl was a complete surprise...She had given ALL of her baby things away... HA! God had other plan!
Check out stacked SC and standing DC for that first stitch. It doesn't take long for the tent to dry out, so if there's not continuous rain it's possible to get it dry.
I love his patterns too. I do usually watch a few rows, then I use the written pattern and that seems to work best for me. Love the colours of your blankets 😊
Hello Summer, Both your blankets are beautiful. It is just amazing how just changing the colors makes it look like two different blankets. Sorry about the disappointment on the camping trip for the kids. I know how that makes us adults feel. No fun! I need to get the written pattern for your blanket so I can do what you do with your written patterns. A yarny friend.
Loving the pastel rainbow 🌈 colourway blanket. Got to check out the pattern on Yarnspirations and watch Mike on the Crochetcrowd. He has great tutorials that I have followed previously. Yay! Be great to see both as FOs 🌈🌈🌈
Hello dear one what a beautiful pattern you have made it is absolutely beautiful your work is amazingly flawless Please teach us how you made this pattern the colors you used is absolutely gorgeous good job 👍👏 I am from Chicago but the last five years I have been living in Europe (Sweden,and Denmark)I hate living here I miss my kids and my grandchildren do enjoy your family as the time goes by so fast god bless you and your family as well Dr”.B Craig
Regarding the chain 3 at the beginning of a row: I don't do a ch3...but rather a chain 1, and then go into that same 1st space and do a regular DC. It's a wee bit bulky but it's really just the one thicker looking stitch, in my eyes anyway. It eliminates that "hole" on the ends.
Usually when deciding whether to use the first stitch it depends if the chain counts as a stitch . If the chain counts as a stitch you skip the first stitch, if the chain doesn’t count as a stitch you go into the first stitch .
I have to use a ruler too, or something to help me have a focus on that row or round. Ty for the link to blanket. The yarn is beautiful 😍 blessings to you and yours.
I've always liked that hugs and kisses pattern but I think the bobbles really eat the yarn up. Rainbow is pretty. I think their patterns use the universal standards if that's what you call them so that's why they are easy to read. I think anyway. Leaving the white space leaves room for notes too. Camping in rainy weather isn't fun though.
Love the blanket! Bobbles eat a lot of yarn, might be why the first one wasn't as large as you thought, also in the rainbow one you might run out of the bobble colors first.
Oh Summer those blankets are turning out beautiful. Love the colors!!!
The hugs and kisses blanket is lovely! When it comes to patterns I need white space too. It makes all the difference in the world.
Very pretty colors and blanket pattern. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
I’m making the same blanket in shades of purple for my niece. Almost done. Yeah me!!!
Beautiful job on the blankets! I especially love the rainbow one.
I love the colors in the rainbow hugs n kisses blanket. Good job.
I really like your idea for your yarn organization. Really cute colors on your blanket. Thank you for sharing.

Summer...you are so cute. Thank you for sharing the baby blanket with us. It is so pretty. I love the bobbles too. A must make!
I love your comments about taking pictures and laughing 20 years later because it is so true!

Very pretty!
Beautiful baby blanket
Very cute blanket! I will have to check it out! Hope you find something fun to do with the kids!
Love your blanket you started.
I hate that chain space too. So for years I’ve done a chain 1 and the required stitch instead. It just looks so much better. Love this video !
I love that pattern. Just printed it out myself.
Qhere you get the pattern?

Yes. I love Mikey's Tutorials. I've watched him for years. I coordinate my yarn by brand as well. Your blanket is looking great.
Pretty blanket! I love Mikeys patterns too! 🐰🐰
I liked your blanket. Like both color ways. 🤗
Love the blankets!!!

Thankyou so agree what your saying about the chain 3 such a beautiful blanket pattern God bless

Both blankets are beautiful.
If you end up going camping and the tent gets wet, set it up in the garage to dry. Just a thought.
just beautiful

I love your blankets. Going to print that pattern.
Hi Summer! That's a beautiful pattern. I do the exact thing with patterns I find online. Separate binders for knit and crochet patterns.
Absolutely beautiful and fantastic
I can’t wait to start doing the blanket
Love your videos Summer ,you are amazing
Summer. This is a sweet blanket
I put yarn weights together, #6, #5, etc. #4 has the most bins.
Oh my goodness. You make me laugh! : ).

I love the hugs and kisses blanket. I have made several. It took 5 cakes of Caron big cakes for a blanket I made. It is a yarn eater lol
If it calls to ch3 skip do a standing dc instead
I have to use a ruler too, or something to help me have a focus on that row or round. Ty for the link to blanket. The yarn is beautiful 😍 blessings to you and yours.

Beautiful baby blanket thank you I couldn't find mike website can you help
Beautiful blankets. Always have extra yarn when bobbles are part of your design. Yarn eaters lol 😳
I just went to Michael's and all the sale yarn was empty 😐. Hobby Lobby was the same the other day. I guess I was too late. But my DGY came. Yay!
I just found your website. I love your bobble ripple Afghan.
