Thank you so much for sharing your finished blanket. I’ve told you before it’s the prettiest blanket I’ve ever seen in 55 years of crocheting. I can see why you love it.
Beautiful afghan and I love the border.
Oh my I love 💕 it it’s so beautiful and colorful
Beautiful Anja! ❤️🧶
So glad I'm not the only one with unfinished projects....love the colours in this blanket!
Drool! Gorgeosity!
Just found you and am so happy I did. I’m a new crocheter and am so excited to start my scrappy blanket, easy peasy with your directions. Thank you so much🥳

I love it very much! Thankyou I can’t wait to start me one
Ophelia,
Hurrah!!! Hope you are doing the dance of joy. The blanket is finished and ready for use.
Absolutely beautiful.
It’s called an Amish mistake i.e. The Amish always make a purposeful error in their work as they believe only God is perfect. I made a mistake in the very center of my granddaughter’s knitted tunic dress. Doesn’t fix the mistake but made me feel so much better 😁. Love your blogs - greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦👍
Beautiful!
Love the blanket 😊
Gorgeous!
Oh, Anja, it is just absolutely gorgeous! I am so glad to see that you moved forward and finished it without ripping it back. Seriously, when it was in the park on the bench and fence, it just looked exquisite without any flaws what so ever. Such a good job of color coordination as well, my dear.
Love your afghan! The simplicity of the border is a good too! Thank you for sharing!! ❤️👏🌺
So beautiful! Lots of work! Thank you for sharing and take care

I love this blanket. Well done for carrying on xx
It’s so pretty 😍
09-16-21.. I actually ordered a set of HH Hooks, and I love them. They are so smooth, and the colors are lovely. I use my pretty HH hooks as often as I use my beloved Clover Amours.. They feel so comfortable in my hands. I might order a second set.. I seldom use my three Furls Odyssy hooks..
This is my Favorite Blanket!!!!! Love it!!
I love this scrap blanket so much that I can not wait to start mine with all my yarn that I have. Thank you for showing us on how to do this blanket.

I really, really like it, beautiful work!!
Its beautiful! You have inspired me and I have started one! It's 190 stitches and I'm only at 10 rows and have used 3 different yarns so far. I am loving it and can't wait to use it!
The colors in your blanket look great!
Absolutely beautiful!!!
You have inspired me to make my own scrap blanket. Thankyou for the great idea.

Thanks for watching! I am glad you are liking my videos! xxx
I think it is gorgeous Ophelia!!
that looks awesome!! great idea! I'm glad I've been saving my leftovers. I wasn't sure what to do with them, but it just felt so wasteful to throw them out. now I have another project! thanks!
I love your blanket
Thank you Melody, Anja x
Beautiful blanket.
I knew you would figure it out
The blanket is beautiful
Your Blanket is Beautiful.👍💕
I made a blanket with this pattern and used up the extra yarn from a set of blankets I made for family members...it's like I have my family with me now. I just came across this video about the border and end project...looks great!! I love the border!
Wonderful! Thank you for watching Trista Polo ! Anja xxx 💕🌈
Love it!
Beautiful job .. the joy that comes from your videos and ideas are just heavenly.. thank you .. I will be doing the same .. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Anja, I am so happy that you finished your gorgeous blanket! You sound very happy with it! I looked closely at it hangong on "your" fence and I don't see a narrower area! It looks humanly perfect!
I made a stash buster a couple of years ago in a one row per color Jacob's Ladder pattern. It is beautiful and my son loved it so much that he had to have it! Didn't make a dent in my yarn stash! 😂 Mostly, I use a lot of my left over yarn to make stuffed toys, beanies & mittens that I donate at Christmas. But I'll definitely be making your gorgeous stash buster blanket soon. Hmmm...maybe I'll use the pattern for some lap blankets to donate too.
Thank you fir your excellent tutorials!
BTW - I've been putting your love lock on shawls since I saw that tutorial and my girlfriends love the freedom it gives them!
Thank you Rosemary, you do a grand job, Anja x
Just Beautiful....
Thanks for watching! I am glad you are liking my videos! xxx
BEAUTIFUL
Wonderful!
I commented on the diaster of this blanket but see you got over being upset. I'm glad you just did a border on it. Ilove this blanket. Yes I can tell you like it.
yes, i had to come to terms with it!! LOL , all good now!! Thanks for watching! xxx
Love this🎉🎉
Thank you Megan, glad you enjoyed it, Anja x
Thanks.
I'll give them a try.
By the way. I love stylecraft yarn too.
beautiful 💐
Sehr schön thank you from Germany!!!
so pleased you finished it and loved it. It looks beautiful. enjoyed all your podcasts.
Your blanket is beautiful Anja. I am forever making blankets. Might do that one with all of my bits of wool too. I'm still on doing preemie hats for the lighthouse babies and chemo hats and also started a shawl for myself that I've fallen in love with by Sewrella ....i cudnt resist lol x
Lynn Winter I hope you don't mind my interrupting, but I'd like to know more about making preemie hats, and I thought you might be able to steer me toward instructional videos. My daughter had a preemie last month, and I'd like to make some simple preemie hats to donate to her NICU. I'm hoping to use up a lot of my stash of scrap yarn in the process as well. Do you find that the places you donate to still want hats in the warmer months? Thanks for any advice you can offer me.
@Linda Beckman Hi Linda, this has just popped up now. Do u still need to know cos I noticed it was 4yrs at the top.
It is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! I love the colors. How did you fix your boo-boo? Just wondering for future reference. I am so pleased that it turned out so well for you. ❤
You are an expert with color. Could you please speak a bit to choosing colors in this blanket. Do you think light then dark or complementary shades together or anything?? Thank you!
nice 💕💕
Super ♥️
BeauTiFUL
LOL .. A couple of weeks in the naughty corner .... Oh I literally cracked up! It really is beautiful... ! I mean completely and utterly STUNNING ! I have a question tho.. How would you launder such a large crocheted blanket.. ? Again... .. Exquisite !!!
I just wash it in the washing machine on a short cycle and I use eucalan ...and i dry it on a drying rack.... I have never had any problems washing blankets!! Thanks for your comment!
Love your tutorials Anja! I have a question for you ...you said that after the SC border in purple, you made (I'm assuming...) four rows of HDC. So in the corners, are you placing three HDC or HDC, CH 1, HDC or something completely different? Would like to know. You inspired me to create my own scrap blanket! :)
pretty
I want to win the Hiya Hiya hooks!
Absolutely beautiful, i will be saving all my scraps and making my own. Did you use stylecraft special dk for the whole thing?
Frances Trainor yes .... all the same yarn... all special stylecraft DK
Awesome colours I love it so much how easy is it to do though
Karen, this is about one of the easiest crochet blankets to make, being a scrap blanket you don't have to worry about colour order, or numbers of rows, there's just the one row to repeat, I'm sure you will enjoy it, thank you, Anja x
It Turned abosolty=ly Beatiful Dear.....Aleta Sneed
Thanks for watching! I am glad you are liking my videos! xxx
It turned out beautifully. How many rows for the granny rows? I know you mention 125 x 180. Please advise. Thank you!
I have no idea how many I did, I did try it on the bed a few times, so you just have to see how long you want it! Thanks for watching! xxx
Turned out beautiful! Did you measure? Just wondering how wide 198 stitches ended up
Question: I’ve just finished the first row of the border in single crochets. Are the next few border rows in half double crochet?
Joanie Johnson yes I generally use HDC!
Your blanket is totally gorgeous and I'm so glad you took it out of the naughty corner and finished it ! 😍 This is probably a stupid question, but was the yarn you used all the same thickness/ply? I'm thinking it must be, but hoping it's not because I have scraps of all different sorts.
Hi Liz, yes unfortunately this is all the same brand of yarn I used for this blanket, I purposely always buy the same brand, so I can add it to my leftover box knowing that it is all the same and it will all go together for the scrap blanket! If you do mix up brands, at least try to have the same thickness, because that will make a big difference in your stitches, if you use thin and chunky together it is going to look odd, unless you don't mind... go for it!! xxx
Thanks so much, Anja - I thought that must be the case. ❤
I love the idea of a scrap blanket but I hate ends to sew in
I sew them in on a weekly basis! so there are not too many to do in one go! Thanks for your comment Selene! Keep watching xxx
hiya quick question, my scrap yarns are all different types,,( like aran,baby yarn, double knit, chunky, super chuky) do u think it it's best to double thinner ones to match my chunky ones? x
I always stick to one kind, otherwise you will end up with thicker and thinner patches in your blanket.... Thanks for watching! I am glad you are liking my videos! xxx
How long time do you work on this blanket .?
Hello
Thanks.
I'll give them a try.
By the way. How did you change colours on this? Mid rows i mean.
I just tied it on and kept crocheting!
@@OpheliaTalks
Thanks.
Hello
Top class blanket.
Don't know if I've asked you before but where did you get the yarn bag please?
Do you mean the muslin bag? That is from wool warehouse, they send the wool in it when you purchase from them...
Can you teach this stitch? What size hook is this please?
Lovely blanket
There is another video which tells you all about the stitch, hook, wool etc! just scroll to find it! Thanks! xxx
do you sew in every end or could i use a boarder that hides the ends ?
love your work anja
Hello Anne, you could sew in the ends, or alternatively you could do an enclosed border, there's several videos on blankets with the double/enclosed border, enjoy, Anja x
I think your blanket is gorgeous. Can you please tell me if you used yarn with different weights or did you use just the one weight?
Lydia Bekker all the same yarn I have a video on it too ..... I will post the link
Lydia Bekker th-cam.com/video/eidHJYz5HhA/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much. I don't have enough of the same yarn for a scrap blanket but I will start saving. I love your channel. Thank you for replying xx
Hi I need your help please. I want to make a blanket like yours only I have lots of chunky wool and a 6mm hook can you tell me how many stitches to do for it to be the same size as yours, hope you can help me...Sue UK xxx
I REALLY like your Scrap Blanket!!! It is sooo beautiful!!! I hope that someday I will have the time to make one that is almost as pretty as yours. :) ... .... Just wondering, though, doesn't it concern you that the blanket was put on a possibly, dirty bench and was touching the dirty concrete ground when you took photos of it at the park?
Jennifer Brummitt hi Jennifer! Thank you so much for your wonderful comments and I am sure that any blanket you attempt will look as nice if not nicer than mine! I don’t worry about wet or dirty... i also take them to the beach sometimes.... I want to use and enjoy my blankets and if dirty they go in the wash!!! (I mean I am not going to put it down if really muddy but I have never had a dirty blanket from a photoshoot) keep watchingxxx
Where would I find out how to do multiples? I m not very good at math. I would need a very good explanation. Thank you.
you would have to add multiples of three and then add your turning chain, .. does this help?
