I get bored also, very enthusiastic in the beginning and when it's not going quick enough, I start sth else, my granny quare blanket still waits to be finished, started 2 yrs ago🙈🙈🙈
I went through stage 4 cancer treatment 2 years ago. I've decided to crochet an Afghan for all 8 of my family members. Something I'd like to give them to remember me by if my cancer comes back. I'm using this pattern for the one for my sister. Thank you. Update: started this with red heart boutique in meadow and it is coming out beautifully. It's very simple, but I can never remember how to end or begin the rows, so I refer back to the time stamp links in the description box. Thank you very much for including that.
That's a Awsome idea. And a beautiful stitch as well. Wish you all the best with your projects. And Remember to Stay Strong in case it comes back. Hope it doesn't. God Bless you & your family🙂
FINALLY a person who crochets that I can follow!🎉 You explain the instructions so well and your time stamps help tremendously!! Thank you for all your hard work in making your videos!! ❤❤
Because you're a genius once it passes being a challenge you require a new project for stimulation. No worries. Youre still teaching and we are all grateful
I am relieved by knowing Im not the only person who easily gets bored and jumps to another project and eventually ends ups having 3 projects at a time! 😂💕 Love this pattern 😍
I have startitis too!!!! LOL I have so many unfinished projects sitting around, I get bored and change my mind all the time!!! We seem to have a lot in common lol thank you for all you do to help everyone learn this craft 🥰😍😘
I get bored fast too. What I do is work on a few things at the same time and rotate them. It helps and I actually finish a project. I love your channel and this stitch is very pretty. Thank you for sharing and for being such a great teacher.
I am the same i am glade i am not the only one,i have Five going at the moment,your crochet is beautiful i like to watch all tutorials i have learnt so much and a lot off different patterns all i ever new was treble crochet,so thank you so much for showing us all your lovely work maureen
OMG I finally know what my problem is, I am so glad to be self-diagnosed with startitis!! I blame your videos (in a good way) because I'm always itching to try new patterns!
@@HookedbyRobin I am loving crochet, and crochet videos. I picked up a hook and some yarn on special a few months ago and thought I'd 'have a crack at it' and now I'm sitting with four full tubs and two enormous bags overflowing with every kind of yarn imaginable and I am trying every stitch I can to see what grooves. Thank you so much for your channel... I spend a LOT of time here!
I know what you mean Robin. I have a spiral granny blanket that I started in April and have no desire to finish it as pretty as it is. I thoroughly enjoyed following along making this stitch. I love your channel too. 😍🇦🇺
This pattern just popped up on my screen while I was looking for something else, I've been looking for one like this. So pretty and seems easy enough. I'm starting it tonight, thank you so much for sharing it!
I'm so with you there. I fall in love with a pattern that's simple and then something else catches my attention that's more intricate and that's wrap or another unfinished WIP lol. This blanket is beautiful!
My first afghan took from 1978 until 1992. It was a rainbow ripple. I started a trellis looking on in 2001. I hope i will finish it this year. Ive got 3/4 done. My sister has been ver patient in waiting for it
I followed this step by step and it actually turned out like its supposed to 😊. Thank u so much for your clear instructions and visuals of how do crochet this lovely pattern
That is so funny😂😂. I used to do that alot and found if I have 2 crochet projects and 1 knitting and throw in sewing as needed, I am actually able to finish.Quite an achievement, I also got alot more picky about what I make.It helps.Good luck ladies and gents.Remember you can always rip it apart and use your yarn for some thing else.
I love how you teach! I learned to crochet from my Granny G at the age of 10, needless to say that was many decades ago. I have never learnt as easily from someone as her until seeing your videos. Thank you.
Love this pattern we are expecting a granddaughter in June so this is perfect, looks like it’s not too heavy which is great for Texas fall and winter. Thank you.
Oh my gosh, I thought I was the only one who was like that. Like you, I go in guns blazing, super excited, then 15 or 20 rows in I get bored and have to put it down. Until I got stitch markers and the idea to label them, I was constantly having to frog out my projects because I didn't remember the hook size, or sometimes the pattern. As bad as I feel for you, I'm glad I'm not the only one LOL!!! Have a great weekend Robin!
This has become one of my favorite stitches. Thank for your excellent teaching video and well written instructions. I’d never have believed I could do something like this a few months ago.
Glad I'm not the only one who has a dozen projects on the go. I am trying to not purchase more yarn til I finish something in the hope that it will motivate me to finish, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit I already own more yarn than I can use in this lifetime. I blame you for my Boho Spirit addiction!!
Just finished a scrap using this pattern and 1 skein of Yarnspirations Bernat Pop (5 oz / 140 g). Final dimensions were 8 in x 50 in. I stopped at row 5 as re commended so had some but not much yarn left. I was able to finish it in 2 days (had alot of waiting time for Doctors' appointments etc.) and I love it! I'll definitely be making more of these. Thanks so much for the video!
The chapters option is a handy thing, but I never use it on your videos because I absolutely love listening to you talk! Your videos are so easy to follow and you have such a soothing voice! ❤️
I saw your blanket and love the stitch. I am making it using mandala Bebe yarn which is a light dk 3 in multiple colors. It’s going to be a car seat blanket even thou I wanted to do a crib size one, but I am doing a hat and booties set in the same color of the car seat blanket. I also try doing 4-5 different projects and sometimes forget which pattern stitch I was using for the projects and have a hard time finding either the video or the written pattern, 😂😂. I get bored working on one project and start looking for something else to make for my grandkids who are in ages 17 months old , 2 years old and 4 years old and one on the way in October which will be the car seat blanket for. I will be watching more of your videos and will post the finished projects on your social media. Thanks for sharing and a great teacher too.
Omg lololol... it was so funny and so great to hear that you say you go into a project with gusto and then get bored quickly lol ... you are a crochet goddess everything you do is exceptional and your instruction is the best ... I get the same way and it was just great hearing that YOU are no different 😂😂😂... I love everything you do and always think how does she finish everything? Lolol
Tried this stitch and came out very well.. the written pattern was very helpful.. I refered it for every row start and end.. :) Thanks a lot for the wonderful tutorial and for taking efforts to mention the time stamps in the description.. those were also really helpful..
I'm almost like this. I'll do a painting, then a cross stitch, then a diamond dot (eh, I was trying them out) and then back to the one crochet project. Well, two at the moment because I'm out of work with the covid thing, and my big blanket is stuck in the office, haha.
I absolutely love this stitch. I've already made 2 things with this stitch. I'm like you - I see a new pattern or get a new yarn and everything else is set aside. I have so many WIPs.
It is a beauty!! And yes. If I buy new yarn, I have to try it and almost always make a new scarf and the WIPS ARE WAITNG, And Waiting AND WAITING..... So your nt the only one Greetings karin from the Netherlands
Hi Robin l am the same can't stop. Starting. Projects, all over. The place, my husband is always saying why do you keep starting new things, Ha ha, but can't stop see a new project and. Off. I go, thanks for a. Great channel love it, l am 70 so there's no hope left am going to change now xxxx
Startitis, now I have a name for it. 😁 pleased to see I'm not the only one who has it. Beautiful stitch pattern, scarf material, thank you for sharing it.
I did not think that as a super novice who barely knew how to double crochet I could do this. But I have been able to because this tutorial is so detailed and helpful!!
during nov-jan i had about 5 projects going at once. i just wanted to do a lot for all the little kiddos that live near me and don't know how to say no when it comes to them XD. i am trying a whole bunch of stitches as well for scarves/shawls to hopefully sell soon, so a wide variety can be chosen.
I hold my yarn just like you only left handed. It’s neat to see someone who doesn’t why is it around all their fingers. Thanks for sharing the how to for this pattern.
I have 3 wip's now. I actually finish one last week! I have yarn for another 2, waiting, and 2 more that I will buy yarn for this week. It's an addiction that I must feed!😂❤
My have the same problem..but I actually made myself go through and have started to finish up my projects...I’m kinda proud of myself as I have finished 3 so far..😍😍😍
I can not resist a new challenge! I have 7 wins all at least 75% done. I will pick a week and focus on completing all of them. It's just how I satisfy my urges😊
I adore what you said in the beginning about going in guns blazing and u get really excited, Etc, I had to laugh. I'm the exact same way . Lol. Well I'm starting this now so well see
You sound exactly like me….I never knew that there was actual word for it..lol…now I don’t feel so bad knowing I’m not the only one. Lovely blanket, can’t wait to get started on it ….but as for finishing it…..well that will be another story entirely. Here goes nothing.!!! Fingers crossed I will get to finish this one before boredom sets in. 😂😂 🤞🤞
Hi Robin I'm the same way! My thing is blankets, mainly baby. I tend to make them to wide though and it takes FOREVER to finish, so I get pretty bored with it. I actually have 5 blankets going on right now and I'm trying my best not to start the 6th... this one! That's also not counting the other WIPs😁 I always get sucked in with the "fast and easy" blankets. You would think that I would have learned my lesson by now! What's fast and easy for the person that's going the video, it may not be for me. Thanks for another great pattern. Now I want to do a larksfoot and this stitch😍
Robin, I mean this in a nicest possible way when I say..." you are making me crazy with all of these wonderful pattern ideas." Ha ha. I truly can relate to your going gung-ho with a project and then getting bored with it. Seems many of us have that problem. I would like to say that your video teaching style is very helpful and your camera work and showing where things/stitches go is darn near perfect. Your enunciation is wonderful. I say that with the utmost sincerity, because I have been a medical transcriptionist for 20 years, and I know only too well how hard it is to listen to someone who isn't clear and concise in their speaking. Much obliged. Keep up the great work. Crochet on!
Loving this stitch and great tutorial as it uses US terms which makes more sense to me than UK terms. I am a fellow sufferer of startitis too with several WIPs on the go so in great company 😀. Greetings from Wales x
I just happened upon this video...first one I’ve ever watched by you. You are a fabulous instructor. I have subscribed to your channel. Thanks for sharing your talent!
I want to say thank you for the pattern and your tutorial. I made a lap blanket for one of the residents of the assistant living facility were I work. The next project will be a baby blanket.
Aaughhh. TH-cam stop recommending me more stitches!!! I have about 9 random swatches of different patterns and projects just hanging on hooks or clipped off in my yarn bag... Aaaaand here’s another little swatch that I’m pretty sure will end up as another thing on a hook. “Startitis” indeed. Seriously though, this is lovely and easy to follow so thank you.
Oh I really like thism I think I'll use this stitch for my parrot's night cage. I didn't want to use granny because the gaps can be a bit big, but I like that these are a bit more condensed so he will keep warmer but still get fresh air.
@@HookedbyRobin I've had him since May, he's 20 years old. He is an African grey. Parrots are a mixed bag. He's not hard to maintain--clean cage twice a week, give healthy pelleted food and veggies, give clean water--but birds are very smart and can get bored. That's what most people don't expect when they get a bird. They are essentially like 2 or 3 year olds. They need a lot of toys and stimulation, they will destroy said toys if they really like them, they repeat their favorite sounds a lot so you better get used to stuff like "BORT!" if they decide they like that sound... lol. Plus, since they are so smart, they are also very behaviorally diverse. My parrots last owner was a male so me being female, he's not that into yet, and it's been months. It can take years. Their body language can be hard to read and I've gotten plenty of pretty intense bites from the rehome learning curve. He's an entertaining companion, but he's also a bit if a jerk sometimes. I think I have a video of him trying *big key word there LOL* to take a bath in my uploads. Parrots make "feather dust" and I have to spray him with water every day because he doesn't take baths himself often.
@@HookedbyRobin I feel you. Now that it's colder he needs a cover even more so I'm HOPING I'll be able to stay focused and whip it out in a few weeks. His night cage isn't very big, so I should be able to do 1.5x2 foot panels, which will help with my focus
Tristan Storm 😂😂😂 your comment cracks me up cause I had that same thought not more than a couple of seconds into the video 😂😂. I just bought yarn yesterday for a new project I started 😞😞😂😂😂
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 I have 5 wips on the go LOL. I told myself I was going to finish some of them because some of them are just about done. But what do I do LOL I started a new project last night I think all of us crocheters are guilty of this LOL I love the Stitch you are doing here so there may be another new project getting started lol thank you
Love it, thank you so much! I have some Landscapes, Scarfie, Unforgettable waves , etc. that I have been wanting to try with a shell type stitch. I guess scarf and hat sets are in order. Ohhh, a hat pattern with this stitch would be fantastic! I would love to see you do that . I too suffer from startitis, I feel your pain.
Your “startitis” tickled me as I am very familiar with…..love grandkids’ projects, because they’re smaller and I can get them done quicker. Currently have two adult sweaters (knit projects) sitting on the table that are in various stages of completion, doubt they’ll be done anytime soon ~ like not til 2022-3? 😜😂😊
For real Crochet videos are the biggest "unintentional" ASMR thing for me. I'll see a video on a cool stitch and before I can get to the end I'm dozing sometimes
I'm terrible at keeping count, and i was using the worst type of yarn, so i used stich markers every start of a cluster in each row. It definitely helped even if it looked really silly
I love a combination of video tutorials and written pattern. Since I couldn't find a written pattern I cobbled together one from the notes I made while watching your wonderful tutorial. Perhaps they'll be helpful to some else as well. Errors are entirely my fault. When in doubt refer to the Robin's video tutorial. Wheatsheaf Stitch Chain a multiple of 5+2. Pattern is a repeat of Rows 2-5. Row 1 In 2nd CH from hook, SC. In next CH, SC. *CH 3, SKP 2 CH, SC in each of the next 3 CH* Repeat between *s until you reach end of row with 4 CH remaining. Work last 4 CH as SKP 2, SC in each of last 2 CH. (So this row begins & ends with 2 SC, while the middle portion is CH 3, SKP 2, 3 SC.) Row 2 CH 1. Turn work. (This CH does NOT count as a ST.) SC in first ST. *In CH 3 SP, 5 DC. In 2nd SC of row below (the middle ST of the 3 SC grouping), SC. * Repeat between *s until 2 ST remain following a 5 DC grouping. Place a SC in very last ST. (There is no 3 SC grouping below.) Row 3 CH 3 (counts as a HDC & a CH 1). Turn. SKP 2 ST. Place a SC in next 3 DC ST of row below. (Of the 5 DC shell cluster of row below, you’ll SC in STs 2, 3, & 4.) * CH 3. SKP 3. In next 5 DC shell/cluster, work a SC in STs 2, 3, & 4.* Repeat between *s until final 3 SC group is done. Then, CH 1, SKP 1, HDC in very last ST of row. Row 4 CH 3 (counts as first DC.) Turn. Work 2 DC in CH 1 SP of row below. SKP 1, SC, SKP 1. (Simply place a SC in the middle ST of the 3 SC grouping of row below.) *In each CH 3 SP, place 5 DC ST. Anchor each of these shells with a SC in the middle ST of the 3 SC grouping of the row below.* Repeat between *s to final CH 3 SP into which you place 3 DC ST to end row. Row 5 CH 1. Turn. In each of next 2 ST, SC. *CH 3. SKP 3. In STs 2, 3, & 4 of the 5 DC shell below, SC.” Repeat between *s to ending with SKP 3 and then work 2 SC ST (one SC is placed normally but the final one is made into the top of CH 3 turning CH of the row below.)
Written pattern is now up on my blog! www.hookedbyrobin.com/blog/wheatsheaf-stitch 😀👍
Hooked by Robin how many skeins of yarn to make a baby blanket ?
Were you able to determine how much yarn to use?
Hi can this be used on a shawl thank you
what yarn are you using
I get bored also, very enthusiastic in the beginning and when it's not going quick enough, I start sth else, my granny quare blanket still waits to be finished, started 2 yrs ago🙈🙈🙈

I’m SO glad I’m not alone in WIPs “on the side”...😋. I’m sooo like you...”Ooooh look at that stitch!...”
YES. omg that is so me. I'm like a butterfly flitting from one thing to another!
Hi I’m a super beginner and I still have to go back and practice my stitches and I will definitely come back and I will finish!!!!!
Omg I thought I'm the only one like you . So happy to know there are people like me . May God help us
Your directions are very easy to follow. Even somebody that really had never of crocheted very much would be able to follow you so thank you so much.
I am relieved by knowing Im not the only person who easily gets bored and jumps to another project and eventually ends ups having 3 projects at a time! 😂💕 Love this pattern 😍
I really love you instruction videos!! They're very easy to understand and you are very thorough!

Really appreciate the very clear and close focus and your clarity explaining and showing the steps you are taking for this project.
Hi. Havnt crocheted for a while. I’d say I’m a beginner. Stumbled across this today and started it, I’m in love with this stitch
I get bored fast too. What I do is work on a few things at the same time and rotate them. It helps and I actually finish a project. I love your channel and this stitch is very pretty. Thank you for sharing and for being such a great teacher.
I have rheumatoid arthritis and crocheting helps my hands a lot.
Thank you for the clarity. I love how you gave written instructions and timestamps on the repeat rows!

Thanks a lot for the wonderful tutorial and for taking efforts to mention the time stamps in the description.. those were also really helpful..
You are a fantastic teacher, time stamps amazeballs, thankyou for your time xx
I usually have 12 projects going at once. So when I get bored I can switch projects. Eventually they get finished....eventually.
Me too. Everyday I choose from the 97 projects I've started over the past 6 months... Haha...
Same
I'm almost like this. I'll do a painting, then a cross stitch, then a diamond dot (eh, I was trying them out) and then back to the one crochet project. Well, two at the moment because I'm out of work with the covid thing, and my big blanket is stuck in the office, haha.
I do the same thing love to switch them up 😄
Marie Stark I do the same thing only I have many projects and many swatches trying to learn new stitches. Eventually they all get done
I absolutely love this stitch. I've already made 2 things with this stitch. I'm like you - I see a new pattern or get a new yarn and everything else is set aside. I have so many WIPs.
Hahahahahaha! SAME :P Every time I come across yarn at a store I pick one out and mentally begin a new project hehe
The perfection in your work is incredible! Such amazing colours and beautiful stitches 💓
You are really amazing, there are no words to describe your explanation and work
me from egypt
It is a beauty!!
And yes. If I buy new yarn, I have to try it and almost always make a new scarf and the WIPS ARE WAITNG, And Waiting AND WAITING..... So your nt the only one
Greetings karin from the Netherlands

Yes me too xxx
Startitis, now I have a name for it. 😁 pleased to see I'm not the only one who has it.
Beautiful stitch pattern, scarf material, thank you for sharing it.
😂 I think there are a lot of us!
It's nice to be in the company of other avid crocheters. I usually have two projects going at one time so I can keep my interest.
"Startitosus"!!!
I love it! So glad to know it's not just me!
Thanks didn't realize how simple this is. Wow and it is so beautiful
What a beautiful blanket. I love your color choices.
i have always loved your patterns. i made so many LOTIS BLANKETS AND I EVEN MADE DDILIES OUT OF CROCHET THREAD AND THEY COME BEAUTIFUL.
I admire your patience! I couldn't work with thread!
The same with me!! Bags of projects started!! Pretty hands & rings, plus you teach very well.
I did not think that as a super novice who barely knew how to double crochet I could do this. But I have been able to because this tutorial is so detailed and helpful!!
Beautiful- I completely understood everything- God bless you.
Thank you Maggie!😃
Great, easy to follow tutorial. Beautiful pattern. Thanks..
Thank you so much Connie!😀
during nov-jan i had about 5 projects going at once. i just wanted to do a lot for all the little kiddos that live near me and don't know how to say no when it comes to them XD. i am trying a whole bunch of stitches as well for scarves/shawls to hopefully sell soon, so a wide variety can be chosen.
That is so kind and lovely Neamh.😃 Selling them sounds good too.x
I hold my yarn just like you only left handed. It’s neat to see someone who doesn’t why is it around all their fingers. Thanks for sharing the how to for this pattern.
I can't do that finger wrapping witchcraft! 😂
I hold mine that way too...and that thing where ppl stick their finger out. Plain uncomfortable to me.
I have 3 wip's now. I actually finish one last week! I have yarn for another 2, waiting, and 2 more that I will buy yarn for this week. It's an addiction that I must feed!😂❤
😂 I can relate to that Carol!
That's a beautiful stitch! I'm the same way...I have about 4 projects going right now 😯 I'm glad I'm not the only one that does that.
Beautiful rainbow colors! Love this. Thank You!!!
My have the same problem..but I actually made myself go through and have started to finish up my projects...I’m kinda proud of myself as I have finished 3 so far..😍😍😍
I can not resist a new challenge! I have 7 wins all at least 75% done. I will pick a week and focus on completing all of them. It's just how I satisfy my urges😊
That's a beautiful stitch. My hand is up...I have startitis too. Seems I am in good company! Thank you for the tutorial. Your blanket is lovely.
Startisis 😂😂 so it’s not just me. Bless you beautiful. I have about 6 blankets I go between. Even then I can’t wait to start another stitch. 😁🇦🇺🙏❤️
😂 Absolutely not just you!x
I adore what you said in the beginning about going in guns blazing and u get really excited, Etc, I had to laugh. I'm the exact same way . Lol. Well I'm starting this now so well see
just found you by accident when doing some searching. What beautiful stitches to follow Dorchester Ontario Canada
You sound exactly like me….I never knew that there was actual word for it..lol…now I don’t feel so bad knowing I’m not the only one. Lovely blanket, can’t wait to get started on it ….but as for finishing it…..well that will be another story entirely. Here goes nothing.!!! Fingers crossed I will get to finish this one before boredom sets in. 😂😂 🤞🤞
Hi Robin
I'm the same way! My thing is blankets, mainly baby. I tend to make them to wide though and it takes FOREVER to finish, so I get pretty bored with it. I actually have 5 blankets going on right now and I'm trying my best not to start the 6th... this one! That's also not counting the other WIPs😁
I always get sucked in with the "fast and easy" blankets. You would think that I would have learned my lesson by now! What's fast and easy for the person that's going the video, it may not be for me.
Thanks for another great pattern. Now I want to do a larksfoot and this stitch😍
I never learn 😂
@@HookedbyRobin 😂
Robin, I mean this in a nicest possible way when I say..." you are making me crazy with all of these wonderful pattern ideas." Ha ha. I truly can relate to your going gung-ho with a project and then getting bored with it. Seems many of us have that problem. I would like to say that your video teaching style is very helpful and your camera work and showing where things/stitches go is darn near perfect. Your enunciation is wonderful. I say that with the utmost sincerity, because I have been a medical transcriptionist for 20 years, and I know only too well how hard it is to listen to someone who isn't clear and concise in their speaking. Much obliged. Keep up the great work. Crochet on!
Loving this stitch and great tutorial as it uses US terms which makes more sense to me than UK terms. I am a fellow sufferer of startitis too with several WIPs on the go so in great company 😀. Greetings from Wales x

I just happened upon this video...first one I’ve ever watched by you. You are a fabulous instructor. I have subscribed to your channel. Thanks for sharing your talent!
I want to say thank you for the pattern and your tutorial. I made a lap blanket for one of the residents of the assistant living facility were I work. The next project will be a baby blanket.
I love this pattern! You are an EXCELLENT teacher too!
Aaughhh. TH-cam stop recommending me more stitches!!! I have about 9 random swatches of different patterns and projects just hanging on hooks or clipped off in my yarn bag...
Aaaaand here’s another little swatch that I’m pretty sure will end up as another thing on a hook.
“Startitis” indeed.
Seriously though, this is lovely and easy to follow so thank you.
😂😂😂😂 TH-cam knows we can't resist stitches and new projects!
Jdl
Ikr!!! Its a disease I swear it is lolololol
😂🦋💫✨💕
Great stitch pattern! I did this in a sparkly pale green and it ended up looking very like dragon scales.
This is so pretty. Its lacey but not too difficult. I just picked up some dusty rose yarn. This would make a nice wrap. Thank you💖
It's a Very beautiful Blanket with all the Color together.
Oh I really like thism I think I'll use this stitch for my parrot's night cage. I didn't want to use granny because the gaps can be a bit big, but I like that these are a bit more condensed so he will keep warmer but still get fresh air.
What an awesome idea! How long have you had a parrot? Are they hard to keep?
@@HookedbyRobin I've had him since May, he's 20 years old. He is an African grey. Parrots are a mixed bag. He's not hard to maintain--clean cage twice a week, give healthy pelleted food and veggies, give clean water--but birds are very smart and can get bored. That's what most people don't expect when they get a bird.
They are essentially like 2 or 3 year olds. They need a lot of toys and stimulation, they will destroy said toys if they really like them, they repeat their favorite sounds a lot so you better get used to stuff like "BORT!" if they decide they like that sound... lol.
Plus, since they are so smart, they are also very behaviorally diverse. My parrots last owner was a male so me being female, he's not that into yet, and it's been months. It can take years. Their body language can be hard to read and I've gotten plenty of pretty intense bites from the rehome learning curve.
He's an entertaining companion, but he's also a bit if a jerk sometimes. I think I have a video of him trying *big key word there LOL* to take a bath in my uploads. Parrots make "feather dust" and I have to spray him with water every day because he doesn't take baths himself often.
He sounds very similar to me! 😂😂 I think I might have been a parrot in a past life LOL!! I'm off to find your video of him! 🦜 *bort* 😂
@@HookedbyRobin I feel you. Now that it's colder he needs a cover even more so I'm HOPING I'll be able to stay focused and whip it out in a few weeks. His night cage isn't very big, so I should be able to do 1.5x2 foot panels, which will help with my focus
I love this, and now I want to abandon all my other wips to play with this one 🥰😂🤣😂
Thanks so much for a great tutorial again Robin 🤗
😂
Tristan Storm 😂😂😂 your comment cracks me up cause I had that same thought not more than a couple of seconds into the video 😂😂. I just bought yarn yesterday for a new project I started 😞😞😂😂😂
Omg I'm the same way. I always have 4 or 5 things going at once lol
Have a great day
OMGosh, I do the same thing. Not even sure how many projects I have on the go right now. It's a bit crazy making!
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I have 5 wips on the go LOL.
I told myself I was going to finish some of them because some of them are just about done. But what do I do LOL I started a new project last night I think all of us crocheters are guilty of this LOL I love the Stitch you are doing here so there may be another new project getting started lol thank you
Love it, thank you so much! I have some Landscapes, Scarfie, Unforgettable waves , etc. that I have been wanting to try with a shell type stitch. I guess scarf and hat sets are in order. Ohhh, a hat pattern with this stitch would be fantastic! I would love to see you do that . I too suffer from startitis, I feel your pain.
I'm noticing a lot of us have the same problem with it 😂
Your “startitis” tickled me as I am very familiar with…..love grandkids’ projects, because they’re smaller and I can get them done quicker. Currently have two adult sweaters (knit projects) sitting on the table that are in various stages of completion, doubt they’ll be done anytime soon ~ like not til 2022-3? 😜😂😊
Thanks so much for the very helpful time stamps .
This is absolutely beautiful!
I love watching your videos even when I'm not crocheting along. I find your voice really relaxing and nice to listen to ^_^
For real Crochet videos are the biggest "unintentional" ASMR thing for me. I'll see a video on a cool stitch and before I can get to the end I'm dozing sometimes
haha! Crochet serves more purposes than one 😂
Off topic: your nail polish is beautiful!
Great stitch ty, took one of my WIPs out so I could use the yarn lol and it is looking good ❤ wonderful tutorial again 😊
😅 I love that and thank you Sarah!🥰
Beautiful stitch.
Very nice video. Thanks, I have never done this one.
I am the same way...I start and don’t want to finish lol. I love your channel
I'm terrible at keeping count, and i was using the worst type of yarn, so i used stich markers every start of a cluster in each row. It definitely helped even if it looked really silly
Whatever works best for you Elle!😃
I love a combination of video tutorials and written pattern. Since I couldn't find a written pattern I cobbled together one from the notes I made while watching your wonderful tutorial. Perhaps they'll be helpful to some else as well. Errors are entirely my fault. When in doubt refer to the Robin's video tutorial.
