      On another note…. So many people go without clothing and warm blankets. There’s no reason any of these items should ever be thrown away. Makes me so sad.

    This is an oldie... I made this exact afghan in 1977 for my mother in law for Christmas. It was in a Leisure Arts pamphlet. I was 20 yrs old. My MIL is now 93 and it is still across the foot of her antique bed ❤

    10 years ago, I used to work at a decent sized thrift store run by a church organization to raise money for charity, literally 50 cents shirts kinda thrift. We had the Scarf Wall, which was 5 enormous heavy wood bookshelves stuffed with any crocheted, knitted or otherwise handmade scarf, hat or accessory, and typically we had a hanging rack next to it filled with any of the other handmade items, blankets, sweaters, whatever. Every so often, a lady would come in for donations and scoop everything off to give to the local homeless shelters. So much handmade stuff went through that store

    Holy Moly! I had to go check my closet!! I made this very one in the 1970s. It's still here. Whew! Thought maybe I had given it to a thrift store. Will have to see if I can do this. Many components to this afghan - Tunisian crochet is that center white section. The roses are embroidery of course. I added my initials and the date on mine.

    It makes me sad when I see something hand made in the thrift or at garage sales. I bought a quilt not in perfect condition from a man in his 70's. I asked him if he knew who made it, it was made by his grandma. His grandma!! I asked if he was sure he wanted to sell it. He said yes for $2.00.

    I’m in a crochet group and there are always many people upset about crochet items ending up in second hand shops, but I always say I’d rather see those items there being sold cheap so others have the chance to buy handmade items they may not have been able to afford before. Now they can be bought, used and appreciated, rather than sat unused in a cupboard somewhere. But this, well this is just a wonderful way to reuse a crochet blanket. Love it.

      You should get a few tags with her name on them and sew them onto the blankets. If you know the year the blanket was made, you could add that to. Etsy sells custom-made tages for people's projects. Then it won't ever be forgotten who made it, after a few generations' information can get lost.

      Crochet and knit items are not that great for animal shelter use. Thier nails can get caught up in them and cause injury, dogs can chew blankets and eat them. Yarn is very bad if eaten. I once saw a liytle dog who got thier leg tangled in a yarn blanket and it cut off circulation because the dog spun and spun and made it tight. It was ok in the end but could have ended badly. Every animal place I have ever worked for never allowed yarn blankets. They were either rejected upon donation and given back or thrown out. But they could never be given to the animals, for safety.

    If no one has told you, crochet is connected to the stitch next to it like a typewriter making a line of text across a page. The first cut of this video was correct to keep it from unraveling. If you don't cut across the row, you won't have an issue. Knitting, on the other hand, has the stitch connected to the one above it. This is why machines can duplicate knitting but not crochet. So if you cut large knits, stitch it quick and lock it down.

    This is the most beautiful upcycle crochet I've seen. Not only because the blanket is beautiful, but because your eye for placing patterns is incredible. I love the dynamics of this, it's so interesting and aesthetic! 🩶🩶

    I don’t understand how anyone could throw a blanket in the trash. There are so many other options available. Homeless, low income, animal shelters. Great dog beds.

      Yeah, dogs love blankets and then if they get ruined to where they need to be trashed, at least they were used and loved first. Hate to see new/newish things go into landfills

      Because thrift stores have become for-profit businesses so they'd rather throw things out and take a tax break.

    Oof. Yeah, I have a massive pile of crocheted and knitted little blankets people gave to my kids over the years, all of them made from acrylic. Which is apparently a forever plastic. Never occurred to me that it was that until some of my kids used it to tie some sticks together in the yard, and discovered that then I was doomed to finding that d@mn yarn out there for years. As a textile crafter, I now no longer purchase any materials which aren't natural fibers. No more acrylics, people!!

      @catsaregreat6314 how odd - where are you? I generally have to buy either cotton or from small local suppliers to get natural fiber (I've found some really good deals on small batch hand-dyed wools now and then at a local liquidation warehouse, but ofc that's not a reliable source) but those are only upsides. Natural fiber is much more expensive, but that means I am also a lot more careful about how often/much I buy, and more mindfulness is also only an upside.
