Liefs,
Sarah 🧶
I have just started learning to crochet granny squares for a blanket at the age of 81! 😊
Great Chris! I started crocheting again at 71. Have fun❤
Congratulations. Never is late❤
Bravo! Good for you! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 You are an inspiration! 🥰
That’s a bit on the nose
You are speaking just fine. In English, we say that when our heart jumps , we are joyful or feel joy.
What an amazing blanket. It’s so beautiful, the colours are gorgeous and I love the story behind it. What wonderful memories.
I love your granny squares variety in your beautiful blanket.
Your granny square blanket is definitely ‘heart jumping’ (love your expression) - such beautiful colours! I also love your Ariana cardigan. ✨
Love a good square ❤ I used to always find these blankets in charity shops in the 90's.
Greetings Sarah! I love the earth tones in you granny square blanket. What a beautiful Heirloom. Excellent job❤
Your blanket is beautiful! Excellent color choices,
My first time watching you! Love this is about granny squares, I’m crocheting granny square cardigans for my granddaughters!! Everyone just loves them and I enjoy making! Thank you for your video!!
Hi Sarah, for heart jumping, in English we have a saying 'makes my heart sing', which is kind of similar : ) and that really fine rain we call drizzle. But don't worry about what to say in English because your episodes in Dutchy English are perfect!
Or mizzle ?
Or mist
Sarah, I love your videos. Thank you for sharing ALL your heart jumping thoughts. ❤ from Fort Worth Texas
Absolutely love your hair
Why do people have to make personal comments ? creepy !!!
Hi Sarah! New subscriber here! Your video popped up in my recommended and your blanket is BEAUTIFUL! The colors are definitely heart jumping! 🥰
I enjoyed your video. Beautiful crochet blanket and sweater.🧶
I LOVE MAKING GRANNY squares blankets. But now I just crochet the large granny square blankets. So many options and so easy and fun to do.
You are lovely in your sharing of crochet. I love your excitement over your projects.
I am coming from Liberty, Missouri in the USA.
Keep sharing
Your work is beautiful
This was one of my favorite episodes! I love the interpretation of the building colors in your fireside blanket. It makes me want to make one, so I can have heart jumping moments! Your photos and video at the end was lovely. I will watch it again, I’m sure! The project bags you were given as a thank you gift are truly stunning, and just your colors. The needle case will come in very handy. I use those plastic pouches in a notebook to keep my circular needles as well. Thank you for making this such a “heart jumping” episode for me. ❤❤❤ See you Friday.
Love your blanket, the colours are beautiful 😍
When I learned how to quilt, my first one had a mistake that I was going to pull out and was told by other quilters that a mistake is sign of good luck/blessing. Sarah leave the mistake and be blessed. Loved the Prague Blanket…inspiring!
God’s blessings Sarah: your blanket is a MASTERPIECE, is like a paint. Very warm colors, very comfortable invites you to get cozy a therapeutic experience. Greetings from Long Beach, California and continue crocheting.
You sound delightful speaking “Dutchy English”. I think in English we might say “it makes my heart sing”. The misty, but very effective, rain is “drizzle”. 😁 Love your granny square projects. That blanket is gorgeous! I wouldn’t call your lovely skirt “A-line”, I would describe it as a “full skirt”.
I absolutely think you can say your heart is jumping. When I heard you say it, I thought you meant you were excited. Similar to the saying “heart exploding or bursting” which means you are filled with so much joy and happiness that you cannot contain it. I love the blanket. 😍😍😍
Hi Sarah … I’m so happy I stumbled across you. I love granny squares & this blanket is just fabulous.
I’m watching you from New York, USA & I think “Heart Jumping” is an adorable way of expressing excitement. I relate to it as a saying here “my heart skipped a beat”.
It’s lovely to hear your voice - I am part of a knitting/crocheting group who zoom on Sundays, and one of us is in the Netherlands - she is from Noordeloos. I am in Nevada in the US; and we also have a member in New York, one in Ohio, one in Maryland and one in Maine. Our other members are in Australia and Israel. I love your blanket - it’s beautiful!
What a beautiful blanket! I just found your channel and love your English. I'm a native English speaker but now living in Spain. It's always fun to hear how things are said differently across languages.
Heart jumping in Australia for your blanket and cardigan ….. beautiful beautiful!,
Your Prague Granny Square blanket is gorgeous!!! It’s extremely heart jumping to remember your trip, your birthday and your family purchasing some of the yarn as a gift…so much love intertwined in each stitch!!! To have it in your new camper van is even more heart jumping!!! Thank you for sharing the making and completion of the blanket!!! Stay safe and be blessed ❤
Hi Sarah, Yours is one of my favorite podcasts. You always have delightful energy and I love your sweet, wise, gentle manner. You have made me love brown! I have always know that brown was in my personal color pallet, but I never thought of it as a pretty color until I saw it on you. You make the color sparkle. Thanks to you I am using my autumn colors now in my knitting and sewing, and it is heart jumping. Thank you for sharing your joyful crafty adventures with all of us! Sending best wishes to you from Oregon USA!
Hi Sarah, I was born and live in Prague, so I am very happy that you and your family had a great time here. The blanket is gorgeous and i have to say that you have catched the spirit of the city in it. Sometimes I also buy yarns from Yarn Queen, you were lucky to find it, because we don´t have many good yarn stores in Prague. Thank you for nice podcasts, take care :) Kamila
That blanket is absolutely gorgeous and special because of all the love in it. The mistake that takes you so long to find is not bad at all..
Oh my gosh! I'm the first commentator for your video. So cool! Sarah, I love your podcasts, they make me laugh, and I enjoy that so much! I love granny squares! Have a great day!
Your blanket is soooo beautiful how talented you are.
The blanket looks so nice!! Love the colors
Your Prague blanket is wonderful - wish you many thousands of exciting kilometers with it in your new camper van. Really enjoyed your Prague clip - Thank you.
your blanket is beautiful Sarah. very heart jumping .I love watching your vlogs thank you Hugs Beth
I love that it took you 10 minutes to find your mistake!!! I would leave it and let the “mistake” be a reminder that not all flaws are visible! Your sweet spirit is so inspiring💗I also love your granny square memory blanket! Absolutely beautiful
I have been on the Prague blanket journey with you since the beginning and have loved every snippet of the beautiful blanket. It is truly stunning Sarah.🌼
Hi Sarah, i love your heart jumping granny square Prague memory blanket, i love your podcasts 🎉 thank you ❤
Your granny square blanket is a work of art! Absolutely beautiful!
I love your Prague Granny Square blanket! I totally agree- knitting for garments and crochet for blankets. Happy creating 💚🧶💚
I’ve just found your channel and I love it! So cheerful you make me smile! I will definitely try making this blanket it looks beautiful!
Well done from Australia ❤
Your Prague granny square blanket is amazing, Sarah. It is lovely, truly heart jumping for me❤😃
You’re such a joy! Always looking forward to see you and watching your vlogs.💐👏👏👏
bravo. I like very much your blanket. I am going to start something like this. Thanks for the inspiration.
Your blanket is beautiful! I love all the colors you chose. Congratulations
Your blanket is truly a work of art! Excellent heart jumping for sure.
Oh such a gorgeous project bag. Beautiful collection😊
Your blanket is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing - it is a wonderful version of the pattern!
I just love your blanket. I watched your video with heart jumping! This was my first time seeing you. Just love everything you have made. I can crochet but haven't learned to knit. It's been awhile since I made a granny square but I'm gonna give it a go. You have picked so many beautiful colors. I might be able to crochet a throw, or maybe some granny square fingerless mittens. Thanks so much for sharing. Love Kath in California
Beautiful blanket, beautiful colours. ❤
SUCH a very very HEART JUMPING Granny square memory blanket!!! 😍 What a beautiful memory of your trip you have captured. Thankyou once again for a fun episode, Sarah 🤎 Hi all the way from Australia👋
Your blanket is beautiful and truly a memory of a happy visit with your family to a wonderful city. 🇬🇧
I love your blanket and the colours in it .I love to crochet granny square blankets too .❤️
Thanks for another great episode! I love your granny square blanket! How beautiful and filled with so many wonderful memories and so much love. I hope it continues to bring you heart jumping moments with your family! 💕
I just loved the explanation of the Prague blanket, seeing the pictures of the houses from your trip and seeing the finished blanket! I love the colors!! What a wonderful story to have to go along with the beautiful blanket! Can't wait to see the camper van!
Loving the coffee bean cardigan! ❤
Your Prague blanket is gorgeous, love the color combinations.
Your granny Square blanket is verry verry butiful. Have de nice day.
Your blanket is very heart jumping! thank you for sharing the photos of Prague too. Thank you for your inspiration. 🤎
Hi, I just found your TH-cam channel and love, love your granny square blanket. All the colors do make, how you say it, heart jumping 🥰. I too learned to crochet before knitting. I enjoy both and agree with you on the garment preference to be knitted and blankets crocheted. I’m from the US and absolutely love your accent. God bless, and keep up your beautiful handwork.
Inspiring and beautiful. Loved the story about the colours from Prague.
Beautiful blanket and color combination.
So happy to find your site. Beautiful work and I love your lovely voice too!❤❤❤
I am very happy I found your channel. Your blanket is beautiful! I used to watch attic 24 as well. It was very fun hearing you talk about her channel.
Hi Sarah! I absolutely love this blanket pattern, contrast, and color combinations❤ I have a hard time committing to colors that are so different from eachother, but when put together in a repetitive pattern, it does look amazing. Its reminiscent of something by Gustav Klimt. Simply beautiful ❤
Thank you for another lovely podcast I'm so inspired to learn to crochet and make blankets now ❤
LOVE, Love, Love your blanket!!
Beautiful blanket. You are a special Soul.
I finished my version of your blanket several weeks ago. I did mine in 100% Australian wool DK. I love how it turned out so much that I then went on to crochet the Fireside blanket. I’m now starting my second Fireside blanket! Thank you for the inspiration. I had never crocheted before, and these were my first attempt at granny squares. I’m hooked as they say.
Was it heavy with using DK? Thanks
From another Aussie 🇳🇿
No. I don’t think it is heavy at all. I used cleckheaton and heirloom to get the colours I wanted. I found the cream in heirloom a much better weight than the cleckheaton. In fact, I think I prefer the heirloom overall. For my first fireside blanket I used Fiddlesticks DK and for the second one that I’m still working on I ordered the recommended yarn from Stylecraft which I ordered online. I like how both have turned out. Hope this helps.
@@heather5196 thanks for your reply and this is really helpful 🧶🍄
Loving that blanket.
Now I crave one of my own too 🤩🌈
The Prague Blanket " its so lovely Sarah, the granny square colours and the border 🤎❤️🤎
I know very fine rin as mizzle. We also say my heart skipped a beat. Instead of saying "I'd done quite some kniiting, we would say quite a lot of knitting. Your blanket is gorgeous. Good luck with all your k2p2 planning
I love your blanket😍 so nice colors ❤
Beautiful blanket
A sign of humanity 😊💖
leave it as a 'meant to be there' part of the blanket
I detest Frogging *shudders*
Hi Sarah
Amazing memory blanket! It’s going to have so many good vibes and memories imbedded in the fibers over the years. Very special. I love it! Wow has it been 10 months? Where did the time go? Haha I can’t wait to see how you decorate your new camper! Many blessings
Very beautiful, thanks for sharing 😊
In Newfoundland we also call it mizzle 🌧️ Love your style 🤩
You have a beautiful blanket!!❤❤
A steady drizzle is the expression in English, maybe American English. The Granny Square blanket you made is absolutely beautiful.
WOW , very heart jumping blanket❤
Drizzle 🌧️ makes you so wet when it falls. Your skirt is perfect I wish I could start to wear them again as I have old lady legs now do not want to expose them 😢. Loved watching you make your blanket over the past months 👏👏👏👏
I have always liked the combination of different granny square sizes in a blanket. Red Heart & Lion Brand have some patterns on that theme too. I have yet to make one. I have made a few of Lucy's patterns as they are so fun to do.
I noticed that when you were winding up your leftover yarns to make a magic ball that you were winding the wool tightly. 😞 This is a no-no! Think of the balls of wool that you buy in the yarn shops. They are lovely and squishy. That is how the balls of yarn that you wind should feel - squishy.
Don't worry, You are not alone. A lot of people wind their wool/yarn too tightly and I have done it too. It is easily remedied. Rewind the Magic Ball keeping a finger or two under the new wraps. When you pull your fingers out to go in another direction with your winding, you will find that your ball is nice and squishy as it should be..
The reason for winding the leftovers to be nice and squishy is to keep the wool in good condition and to make the wool last longer.
Love the cardigan on the wall that was a bit too damp to wear.
Love that your blanket is a tribute to your holiday in Prague.
I have been knitting for 63 years and crocheting for 60. So you have a way to go to catch up. 🙂
Love❤your blanket and your socks
Your blanket Sarah is so beautiful ❤❤❤❤
They say eskimos have 50 words for snow, in Shetland we have many words for rain. I would describe the rain you can hardly see as 'drush' noun or 'drushet' adjective in dialect. Those menstrual thinks are called 'tampons ' for the tiny bag the whole set of which was lovely. Thank you for showing us your beautiful Prague blanket. I can feel all the love in it and I hope all who sit on and in it feels the love too. Much love to you and yours❤❤❤
Beautiful blanket Sarah.
I love the term Heart Jumping🎉🎉🎉🎉 do t stop saying it
You can fix the hole with a knot and weave in the ends. This is a beautiful piece!
❤zdravím a přeji krásné tvoření ❤👍❤🙋♀️❤
I think the skirt is absolutely charming! In German that fine rain is called 'nieseln' as in 'es nieselt' or 'drizzle' in English. I'm currently learning Dutch on Duolingo and for someone who speaks English and German its super easy and fun.
I have heard “heart pounding” which means your heart is beating hard, but I love “heart jumping” 😁
I love your blanket Sarah ❤
In America we say my ❤️ is OVERJOYED; but I LOVE 🥰HEART-JUMPING❣️💞💞💞💞
Wunderschöne Decke
Happy birthday. My birthday is 3 Sept and this year I am 72. I started a Birthday Cast On with special Birthday wool in one of my favourite colourways Greens.
I'm also knitting the flower socks from the colorwork cuff club... and also having drama 😄 my colorwork was too tight and I had to frog! Trying the method of doing the colorwork inside out. Fingers crossed 🤞 it fits over my heel this time..
Плед очень красивый.👍👍👍
In the US, we call this kind of rain “drizzle” or “mist.” Nouns or verbs: It’s drizzling outside; it’s misting outside.
you are lovely I love watching you
I've noticed there are so many words in English from the Dutch. That thin rain is 'mizzle' in some parts of the country. I'm certainly going persist with crochet... and to learn how to join them neatly, which is definitely a work in progress!! m
I just ordered the color pack for the Fireside Blanket🧶‼️
@@ruthdennisKnits I did too, and I love the muted, heathered, colours. It’s lovely yarn to work with, even though it is acrylic. It’s described as ‘premier’ acrylic, and I must say it is as nice as the 100% wool I used for the Prague blanket at about half the cost. Was worth the AUD30 postage from the UK to Australia!
