    I don't know how Cody crochets so fast! Which yarn and stitch was your favorite? Where's the bee this time? Like & Subscribe! ♥

      I like the Oatmeal Cross stitch and the Blue Ripple stitch.😊

    Bee this time is behind CG's right ear 😊 Thankful for CG's successful surgery ❤ So far I like the yarn eater stitch with the berry color😊

    I agree with the both of you. I really like all of the colors except the one that you both didn’t like. I wish they would make the skeins larger. It would cost a small fortune to make an adult size blanket.. great job Cody! It’s so nice seeing you two enjoying crochet 🧶😎

    I DID IT. I FOUND YOUR STITCHES. Cody, im right there with you on perfection. My neighbor ripped my project out 3 ties bc the sides were crooked. I vried and said "im not doing this" she said "oh yes you will and your work is going to be perfect". Im 75 yrs old and if i detect a flaw i rip it out and start over...thank you to my blessed teacher mrs. Betts in heaven❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    Glenda, I am so happy that your surgery was a success. I’ve had cataract surgery, as well as a couple other procedures, so I know how it goes. Be sure to use your drops, as they are very important. I think I told you that I have severe glaucoma and I’m now legally blind. my vision keeps getting worse, but I have learned to adapt. I’m not going to let it get me down. As long as I can crochet and listen to books, and walk around my apartment building I’m OK. And I am so fortunate to have a wonderful Church family. The four of the five grandsons who lived near me are always a help. I am only 48 or 49, and my grandsons are all very tall, and they protective of their tiny grandma. I don’t know what I would do without them.
    I think my favorite videos are the ones were you and Cody are together. That’s because I know you understand a wonderful grandson can be.

    Cody for the start chain you can use a hook 1 size bigger then recommended and then in the second row use the hook recommended by the manufactory. Love your videos.

    Another wonderful swatch sampler!!! I really appreciate that you are continuing to do these!!! Love the blue ripple and the last stitch sample color. Cody, I just want to say thank you so much for having a wonderful time with Glenda and for being a beginner Crocheter, you are doing an amazing job!!! Grandma is so happy and you can see how proud she is of you…so are we. Glenda, I’m so glad that all went well with your eye surgery!!! Stay safe and be blessed ❤

    @JoyceN818 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Cody is getting to be so good at crocheting. Being a perfectionist ain’t too bad when it comes to straight edges in crochet. I seem to have similar tastes as you and Cody. Your favorites are mine too.🥰

  • @Ready2golf1
    @Ready2golf1 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    My favorite was the beige speckled. The bee is behind Grandma’s head. Way to go Cody. I’m a little jealous on how nice your crochet is. I’ve been crocheting for years and I don’t think my stitches are that neat and even. Keep up the good work!

  • @bluegrassiscool6405
    @bluegrassiscool6405 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Thank you both for sharing. Great video. Cody explains a lot about yarn and how the stitches makes up different patterns. Stitch tight or loose makes a difference. He is learning from one of the Best, Glenda. Both of you should take a bow! Really like the purple and red yarns. See the Bee behind Glenda.

    @chrissyinpa 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    That is one of my favorite yarns! I use it to make all my baby blankets unless they don't have the color I need. I wish they would make it in more colors. The swatches were beautiful! The violet stripes is my favorite of the ones you did today. It's wonderful that you taught Cody! God Bless!!!

    @CeeceeWhip 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I like to hear Glenda’s and Cody’s analysis on the texture and stitches. I think I’d do that heavy stitch to eat up my DK yarn stash. It would be heavy enough without being too weighty. Glenda, glad your surgery is over and you can SEE. Hope you get to go to another thrift store with Lori soon. ❤❤❤ Love all those colorways with the right stitch pattern. Thanks for doing them.❤❤❤

  • @helenrieck2343

  • @mandyminshull2351
    @mandyminshull2351 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I like the purple and dark pink swatch and then the last one too. I’m from the UK and the very first thing I ever crocheted was from a Hooked by Robin tutorial. She’s a great teacher, but I’ve learnt lots of new things from you guys too and have crocheted lots of the stitches of the week. I love your swatch videos ❤

  • @sandygrogg1203
    @sandygrogg1203 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Cody, use a larger size hook for your starting team. That will help to keep your violin the same as the rest of the blanket. I usually go up a size or even a size and the half it just depends on the yarn. Anyway, I think that will help you.

  • @grannypat99
    @grannypat99 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    My favorite was the first one, the purple, because it worked up so differently from what I initially thought it would from just looking at the skein of yarn. It was stunning! My next favorite was the berry - love those deep, rich colors.

    @lisacain35 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It’s so hard, when you first learn to crochet, for perfectionists. It’s very easy to get frustrated with stitches when you don’t know exactly how the stitches should look. Tension is definitely a big thing that improves your crochet but is so hard to get consistent with. I recommend trying to relax your hands as much as possible. Also, stitch markers are my best friend to keep even sides of my work and to not add or drop stitches. I agree that @hookedbyrobin is great! She’s a great teacher. I also enjoy Toni @TLyarncrafts. She teaches Tunisian crochet in a very easy to understand and follow way.

    @healingsprings11 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Oh Robin is amazing 🌟 The short color change skeins can sometimes look beautiful but when it forms in your work, looks very different like you said. I liked all your swatches Cody . Really well done. 👍 The last 2 colorways perked my interest and the light blue with darker blue one was nice too. Happy your eyes are clearer CG🌞🧶

  • @KellyAnneCalabrese-si6wb

    I liked the yarn used in the cuddle stitch & the alternate V stitch yarn. I am very impressed w/ Cody's crochet skills for being fairly new to crochet. It took me a much longer time as a beginner to have swatches that looked that good. I really like your channel.

    Glad your surgery was successful, Glenda. I agree, I have stayed away from variegated yarns for fear of that drastic colour change. It makes your project look too busy in my opinion. I do love the colourways & stitches you chosen. Good job Glenda & Cody! Wish we had Hobby Lobby here in Ontario. Can you plant a seed for us, please?😂🧶
