Thanks, and to calculate the amount of strings , we have to weigh the square ex. If the square is 10 gr. And we need 130 squares , so 130*10=1300gr. So we need 13 woollen balls of 100gr.🌸🌸

[@gretan4439]

Your comment literally just saved me, I was about to order 20 balls of 100gr, because I never realised that you could actually calculate the amount you need, even though it’s so easy to do. I don’t know why I never thought of that hahaha Thank you

[@annasullivan4946]

You have the best tutorials not just with crocheting projects but with explaining blanket sizes, how to block our projects and so many other useful helpful hints in finishing our projects and showing us "how to". Thanks for all the great tips Jayda!!

[@suebelitski745]

Hi Jayda, great tutorial! thank you for the quick reply on how many squares make a blanket, and this tutuorial really helps.
Since I am a beginner crochett (two months ha!) I started making granny squares from your tutorial and after making quit a few squares and gaining confidence, I started wondering on the what I was making and how to put it together. With this new confidence I started a pattern of squares and placed them on a table to see how I wanted the pattern to look. I know it will take a few weeks to complete or more but once done I will share!
thanks again! I love your tutorials!

[@JaydaInStitches]

sue belitski Great progression Sue :) Making my first blanket was an exciting experience...and I was planning the next one before I finished the first LOL Enjoy!

Thank you Jayda instiches! Today I have got some “Red Heart Jumbo” skeins. I have got Aran and Burgundy. When I got them I could not believe how big it was so I when I went to see it was 744 YARDS! I was star struck it was meant to only for a couple of granny squares for my blanket. I am actually happy so I can make a some more projects. I just don’t know what to do. I might make two granny square blankets but I am happy that you can help!

Hello from Saskatchewan. Came across your channel late last night when you popped up into my "recommended" videos and can't believe I haven't seen you sooner! Literally spent all afternoon (which kids peacefully napping. Score!) while it's been raining drinking tea, making granny squares for a pixel afghan and binging on your playlists. I love your enthusiasm and personality. Keep up the awesome job.

[@JaydaInStitches]

[@josieojeda7235]

Jayda I absolutely looooove your tutorials. I love that you explain everything so clearly & concise to easy understanding & of course I enjoy your bubbly personality. I'm currently working on a star stitch crochet baby blanket for my granddaughter. Now, my daughter and I would like to add a lovely soft minky back lining and binding to the blanket as a finishing touch. Now my question is....."What would be the best approach to do this?" We want a clean finished stitch, but we are skeptical of it gathering if I sew it with my sewing machine. Would it be better if I just hand sew it?? Could you please please please do a helpful tutorial on how to do this? Please???? I've searched TH-cam, and couldn't find a single tutorial for this yet.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi Josie! I'll certainly consider it! Thank you for the suggestion :)

[@josieojeda7235]

Thank you so much. I will continue looking forward to your future videos as always. Thanks again for sharing your talent with everyone on TH-cam. I've really learned lots from your tips. ☺
