I haven't watched your whole vlog yet, but I had the EXACT same problem with the reds. I tried to match based on the photos, but those photos have been edited or were taken with different settings which resulted in the ladybird and tomato yarn looking darker than the video tutorials! I also decided to use what was originally my tomato sub for ladybird and purchased a lighter more orange coral for the tomato sub. I don't know that I'm totally satisfied with my tomato sub pick, but I'm trying not to stress about it even though I tend to WAY overthink these things lol.
Omg same! I always overthink it so much but I think once you have the finished blanket, one color choice won't stand out as much ☺️ And yep those photos are definitely edited, I feel like my pale pink color is also off because of that 🥲
Thanks for the informative video, I was going to pass on this project but now I might give it a go! I can't get that yarn in my country either so would end up mixing and matching between brands to find the right colours. Did you make the previous CAL from Lindsay/Sirdar, the Blossom & Buds blanket? I started it and it seems pretty good, I need to pull it out and get back to it now we have spring here in New Zealand.
Thank you so much for watching! Yesss it's so fun to make, let me know if you end up joining 😊 I've seen the Blossom & Buds blanket in the Facebook group and wish I took part in that too, alas I found out about these crochet alongs only last month 🥲 Hope you can finish it this spring, I'm sure it will turn out beautiful 🙌
Thank you for making this video. 😍 Do you know if I can get the pattern only or have to buy the pack with the yarn? I would prefer using my own yarn as I have so much that’s just sitting in my stash anyways.
Thank you so much for watching 😊 Yes, you can get the pattern for free without purchasing the yarn kit! sirdar.com/gingerbread-blanket-crochet-along There's a form on this page where you can input your email to receive the weekly patterns (so far weeks 1-4 have been released).
@@nikabranttoh that’s brilliant, thank you so much. ☺️ I was wondering if you know, if I just signed up now, will I receive the previous weeks’ patterns too? 🤞🏻

Oh I haven't tried that but I'm sure you would be able to get all the parts! 😊
