    You are so brave. I would never have the guts to take apart a granny square blanket. But you did, and the sweater looks great!

      I feel this so hard. I recently got two Addi machines so I made a sweater cardigan. I was literally holding the pieces on me & standing in front if my husband with such a happy little kid look on my face. He tries to sound enthusiastic, but mostly he's just confused. I appreciate the effort though

    In Czechia we usually take down the chrismas tree on the 6th January, which is known as "The holiday of the three wise men", you know, those guys who went to give presents to baby jesus? At that day there are usually people working for a charity walking outside dressed like the three wise men and raising money for good causes.

    So cool! If you buy more afghans for future projects, keep in mind that sometimes granny squares are joined ‘as you go’, which is fast and easy for construction, but makes for a more complicated deconstruction. My late mom made a granny square afghan that is beautiful. It’s blue, but I don’t use it because it doesn’t go with our decor. But it *is* a color I would wear, so you’ve got me thinking!

    I get why you thought this video wouldn't be relevant but it totally is. I hardly crochet but I'm mostly a sewist. I got a thrifted granny square blanket that I want to turn into a sweater and it led me here, even though I was looking for more of a sewing tutorial, so I'm Def gonna take some ideas from here and some from other videos. No one will have the exact blanket so no one will do the exact sweater, but we get ideas from each other. I absolutely love how yours came out. I wanted more of a cardigan but now I'm debating because the collar is so so cute on yours. Great job and thank you for sharing

  • @tamaramonster9027
    @tamaramonster9027 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Christmastree advice (also goes for wishing others happy new year): You can leave it up until Three Kings Day (6th of january). That's the official last day of appropriately giving new years resolutions as well as having your christmas tree out, it marks the end of that celebratory period. But it's 2022, nothing's conventional so do whatever you please!

I saw this video of yours & liked it very much. Then I thought of 2 suggestions for you. How about using some of the Granny Square Blanket & make a Skirt into it. To have with your sweater. And How about making a little sweater just like your's for Benson & using the Granny Squares, too. But, using just a little bit of them. You probably have more of the blanket, too. Humm. Just a suggestion for you. I knit & crochet, too. OK, I'll talk to you another time. Have a Great Day. Give Benson a Hug, too. Sincerely, Elsa R. (Before the movie, "Frozen" came out). Ha, Ha. Bye.
