There are a few guides for blanket sizes online, depending on what size you're going for @outlander like this one:

Must be growing for you to be thinking about sizes 🙂

Hi! Great choice of colours @outlander! Well done so far👍😊!

Hi @outlander, @CheerBear, @Snowie, @Sans911, @Shaz51 and everyone here in Craft Corner! I've been up this morning working on a 'crazy blanket'- ie a blanket in strips of 40 stitches wide by 1.6m long on 4mm knitting needles using yarn from my stash pile in no real pattern, just garter stitch- for a charity called Kogo. I'm nearly finished my first strip- about 40cms to go!- so then I have another 7 strips to go, but at least it's getting there! I take it wherever I go with plenty of balls of yarn as I like to have a variety of colours to mix the strip

up according to how I feel and also if I get sick of a colour, I can change it! The yarn I use is 8ply which I've got heaps of so it's a great stash buster and gives me the option of buying more yarn later on!

Speaking of blankets, @outlander I saw your granny square blanket 2 nights ago on Saturday which got me missing crochet so I decided to pick up the hook myself again after a fair while and start a blanket for myself. This time, I'm using a Lincraft cake called Circus on 4.25 hook and plan to make a blanket using the 7 balls I got for my birthday last month. I can't believe how calming and meditative crochet is! Thanks for getting me back into it, @outlander! I'll post some photos soon so you can check it out!

Okay! Coffee calls and it's also time for me to get my day started. I hope you all get plenty of crafty things done today and I'll try and check in soon😊!

Thank you @TAB for this, now i hope i can get some really good tips

Hello @outlander @CheerBear @Judi9877 @Snowie @Sans911 @Shaz51, if i have missed any one sorry i have just found out about this craft group

I knit and have for a couple of years was taught crocheting which i enjoy more than the knitting, I have only learnt granny squares and have made mall obes, big ones for a cot, and some for charity.

I am trying to learn new stitches, haven't got the gist on pattens yet, and i get very confused with the US version and UK one, and can't work out which one Im suppose to use.

At the moment I am making a big blanket for my sons and using Leaping stripes stitch, i think I'm doing ok except the ends, I ve been following a you tube of how to do it, but i don't understand how to do the ends.

I m hoping you guys might be able to let me know what I'm doing wrong, it says for end instead of doing a treble, to do a single stitch, then a slip stich, turn the row then do another slip stitch, and do the treble in the next stitch, anyways, I'll post what I've done so far.

I also find it a bit harder when i watch you tube videos of the stitches as I'm left handed and can't find much for left handers.

Sorry everyone i haven't worked out to get the pictures under the text and don't know how the picture further up got put there, I thought i put it next to this one.
