Shelley, can you explain why #4 yarns are different weights? I am making this blanket and am using Mae Maxim Mega Ball and it seems so much thinner than what you've used. Since I get all of my yarn on line (living in the boondocks), how do I know what's heavy and not. Thank you for your answer and PLEASE keep up the good work. I'd be lost without you😅.
@@patriciacurrie7613 it just all depends on the brand and how fibrous it is really. Example - Caron Latte Cakes are a 5 bulky! They seem more like a 3 weight. The reason they are considered 5 bulky is because of the little fibers that poke out of the main strand. Other than that I am not sure why the manufacturers choose what they do.
@@patriciacurrie7613 I’m not a yarn expert. Sorry! Lol Not many bulky yarns work in the machine. It is not a weight of yarn I choose so no, I don’t have a list. That’s a tough question. Depending on where you live the yarn choices are different. My advice…. Don’t order bulky yarn. Unless it is Caron Latte Cakes. 😊
How many balls of each color would i need to make this size? Im having trouble finding it. I just purchased an addi and want to make sure i have everything for my first project.
Hi Shelley from UK, i love watching you videos and I've mad a few hats and a snowman using my 48 sentro, how much yarn do you use in your blankets as i want to make this square 1 in a child size, that would be a great video going through sizes and yarn usage on all your makes
Hi Shelley. I was wondering - what is your opinion- if I did panels rather than tubes??? For a light weight throw. Here in Florida. Of course, I know the sizes will be different. So have to figure out. And I know there would be a wrong side as well. Just a thought. Yours is gorgeous. Oh my, I'm loosing it! You made a tutorial on flat panel throw. Sorry Shelley, I forgot.
I think it would be beautiful. I think for this particular pattern you would need to use flat panels with the 22 needle machine. When they are flat they are double the width so it will be just a bit narrower than a 46 needle tube. I bet you could follow the pattern the same. Not 100% sure but I “think” so. 🥰🥰
Hi Shelley. Beautiful blanket. I'm to try to make it and I have a question. I only have a 48 machine so I was wondering if I should lengthen the blanket to make up for the additional width. If so, maybe an additional row per color? Thank you so much, you're so inspirational to watch.
Thank you so much for sharing. I love the blanket! Love to make this but not sure of the exact supplies quantity. How many balls ( size of ball) of yarn in each color did you use?
Good day Shelley. Could I make this in panels rather than tubes? Just Realized it would be "double width" and would probably destroy the pattern 🤨. So probably just make stripes in panels rather than trying this. Pattern. I would be using Caron Simply Soft. Thanks GF, for your advice or suggestions on this. I’ll be viewing tutorial on your panel blanket as well. Enjoy your day my yarny daughter❤
@@Helens.crochet.389 Hiiii! You absolutely could. You would just do a flat panel over half the needles. So do it over 23 needles and it should work out. 🥰 How are you doing? Is the weather enjoyable where you are from ? We have been getting so much rain, it’s unbelievable! And it’s been very hot.
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet thank you so much for your advice. I live in Florida USA. It’s been over 90 for the past week. We have a lot of humidity down here. I am doing OK, staying inside, like you would do in the winter time! Personally, not doing so well, at 80, still learning from your videos on how to work these little machines. My Addi still doesn’t work right!😡 no matter what yarn I use or what tension. It especially hates panels. Oh well. How are you doing? I didn’t think Canada got so hot, but the weather over the whole world has been changing. Hang in there, it’ll get cool in a couple months! Stay safe and know that you are appreciated❤️
@@Helens.crochet.389 It does not get as hot as what you get. Thats for sure! But with all the rain we have had there is a lot of humidity. That mixed with heat is not something we are used to. It’s all good though. Have you tried Bernat “Premium” yarn, Heartland Yarn or Caron Simply Soft ? Those all work well.
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet I have tried most yarn you have suggested plus Herrschners Afghan yarn, which is 2 ply and works great on sentro. But it continually drops the yarn and stitches. I’ve even put a thin piece of paper under the feeder. Nothing is working.
I keep trying and trying for literally 3 weeks, every day and cannot figure out the joining method. You say the second stitch but it looks like 2 and 3 stitches and I end up somehow skipping stitches for doubling up on same stitch all together. I'm so confused.😢
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet Thanks Shelley :) it looks worth it! I have about a week before my sentro gets delivered so I have no idea how long things take. I can't wait to try this though 😀

Thanks for the inspiration and helpful instructions, another project to add to my list of potentials.
Your welcome! I really want to make another one of these blankets but this time for myself! Haha
I am currently working on this blanket. I choose dark grey, redwood heather and soft grey it is coming along beautifully! Love your work ❤
Thank you so much! Please do show
me in my FB group. I’d love to see. 🥰
This was absolutely beautiful❤. Thanks for this video!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you so much. I learned so much from you, I just started making blankets for hospice patients.
God bless you for doing that. 🥰
Very nicely done great job thank you for sharing
Thank you very much! Your very welcome!
Muy bien hecho y hermoso, muchas gracias!!! :)
Amazing!
❤
Thank you 😊
I just learned using a small piece of swiffer duster to run the yarn through dramatically cuts down the slipped and tucked stitches.
That’s a great idea!
Greetings from Germany 😁👋 I did it! It took me around 12 hours, 21 Balls of Jarn and I love it. I would love to show it here, but it´s not possible. 🤔
@@Date-Profiling was it you that showed it in my group ? I think it was. It is beautiful! 😍

Please go to my channel and click on a baby blanket tutorial. I tell you in each video how much yarn you will need.
Very nice!! Thanks for your tutorials are great. Coul you tell us the yarn brand you are using? Regards from Costa Rica!!

Hey Shelley what yarn are you using..? Thanks
@@victurner9499 please watch the video. It’s all detailed there.
Hii can you link the yarn you used? I'd love to make this blanket, just got my addi 🤗
@@miichyma this yarn is no longer available. Use your favourite yarn that works well in your machine. 😍

I actually think I would just do it the exact same way. In my mind I’m thinking two stitches won’t make a noticeable difference.
Thank you. I'm sure you're right about that!
Thank you so much for sharing. I love the blanket! Love to make this but not sure of the exact supplies quantity. How many balls ( size of ball) of yarn in each color did you use?
I mention how many balls at the beginning of the video.
Each ball was 354 yards/7 oz/198grams
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet
I must have missed it. Will watch it again. Thank you so much for the quick response.
It’s right at the beginning.
Do I have to knit a tube? I want a single square.
You can make it in flat panel. Use half the needles. Sorry, I don’t have particulars.

You can make it on one color but it won’t be a blanket with squares.
All details are in the video. 🥰

Sorry. I don’t understand.
@@koalaknitsandknacksaddicrochet I'm sorry.
I try again:
Hi, what needles should the yarn be worked with? Thank you
This is done on a circular knitting machine.
How many rows are total from top to bottom?
It’s all in the video.
How long did this take you to crank out?
I never kept time but it takes a while. So worth it though!🥰
