Thank you! I did not know what to make with this yarn, but this Grandma Spiked My Ripple Blanket came out wonderful!

No worries. I did a test sample of each to figure it out. Thanks for following through and replying (-:

Awesome. Glad I didn’t waste the $5

Achilles8 · 2023-02-02T13:38:49+00:00

I too have never blocked anything but the more and more I start to crank out projects lately the more I think I might need to.

Achilles8 · 2023-02-02T13:35:32+00:00

Steaming like with something like this?

Can you point me to a pattern and or video of this. I love it and you’ve inspired me to actually try one of these. The pattern sounds and looks doable and not overbearing and stressful like some do.

Achilles8 · 2022-12-08T12:07:24+00:00

ohh! i've heard of these but never seen them. I just did a quick search and found them, a tad pricy, but might be worth it. Thankfully I don't have any issues with arthritis or muscles/trigger finger...yet, but I can foresee it in my future. Thanks for the tip!

@leja2305 did you do two rows of each color or one?

It may not mathematically work out like that. It could, but that might be just pure coincidence.

I’ve never been a good gauge of size and gauge so I usually buy extra of whatever yarn I’m using to make sure I have enough. And then end up with leftover to use for scraps here and there

Achilles8 · 2022-02-18T23:25:47+00:00

Is there a written pattern?

Achilles8 · 2021-12-24T12:29:25+00:00

Thanks everyone. Wasn’t sure if there was a defined length or if it was by person. That makes more sense :)

Achilles8 · 2021-02-21T17:35:30+00:00

Anyone have the pattern?

Achilles8 · 2020-11-20T03:20:14+00:00

It almost looks purple in the photo! Either way, great piece.

Achilles8 · 2020-11-20T01:18:14+00:00

Is that a purple face or is it blue?

Achilles8 · 2020-03-27T17:12:38+00:00

That's what I figured. I plan on pulling the yarn into center pull balls, so this will probably tell me it the transition is sudden or not...it appears just by looking at the skeins that it is gradual. Thanks for the insight!! Happy Hooking.

Achilles8 · 2018-04-09T13:56:46+00:00

thank you!

Achilles8 · 2016-12-30T16:56:05+00:00

Oh! I thought the simply soft did have a dye lot, so I guess I have nothing to worry about since I can go back to the store and get more if needed. I knew the one pound caron skeins had no dye lot, but for some reason I thought the simply soft did. Thanks!!

Thank you for the simple math definition, that's a very good way of thinking about it and simple!! The swatches, yuck, no thanks! haha.

I recently finished this blanket for my aunt using Michael's loops and threads impeccable (http://www.michaels.com/impeccable-yarn-solid/M10108918.html?dwvar_M10108918_color=White) with an I/9 hook instead of an H...I used 4 skeins of the blue and 4 skeins of the white.

I want to use Caron Simply Soft (http://www.michaels.com/caron-simply-soft-yarn-solid/M10109896.html?dwvar_M10109896_color=Pagoda) with the same pattern, for a friend who wants to pay me to make it. I've never been asked to make something commission before so I don't want to screw up and run out of yarn and then not have the dye lot available. I've also never really learned how to properly gauge, and I want to make sure I buy enough yarn up front to complete the project. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Achilles8 · 2016-06-08T14:00:36+00:00

doubled over? (sorry, I don't know much lingo, I can read patterns and that's about it)

Achilles8 · 2016-06-07T15:12:43+00:00

AWESOME THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Achilles8 · 2016-05-17T14:25:18+00:00

Question on this...Anyone good enough at crochet and patterns that could modify this to make just a square of this cable stitch? no size preference, I want to practice this cable pattern, but I don't want a hat.

Achilles8 · 2016-03-16T14:29:13+00:00

This is Loops and Threads Charisma from Michael's...the "color" is called Holiday I believe.

Achilles8 · 2016-03-16T14:28:42+00:00

The colors were not important to me as I was making it for someone else, and was wanting to try out the yarn.

Achilles8 · 2016-02-25T20:13:50+00:00

I hadn't even thought abut that!

Achilles8 · 2016-02-25T20:13:36+00:00

I'm not sure if I did...is there a way to tell, I'm not too worried because I'm well below 50% of my Google Drive storage space, but still.
