After beating stage 4 cancer I decided to crochet an Afghan for everyone I'm special to as something to remember me by, fully expecting for the cancer to come back. It's been 4 years now and it took me a good 18 months of physical therapy and healing before I even picked up a crochet hook again. In the first year I made one, for my dad. The second year the willow square Afghan for my sister in law. This year, it's end of July and I'm wrapping up my 4th blanket just this year. 2 for friends, one for aunt/uncle, one for sister. My brother is next and then I finally want to start working on something for my husband and I. I've decided on this. It's absolutely beautiful and cant wait to get started. Hopefully by Christmas! Thank you.

I am so thankful. Haven’t successfully crocheted in years .. but your clear direction make me confident enough to give this a try.

I've given every one of my crochet projects to friends/family, but I am keeping this one for myself - I absolutely love it!

[MaryDurrett]

Bonnie - I have just started today and can’t put it down! I love blankets/throw/afghans that have each row different and challenging and learning new techniques and stitches. That is what i love about your projects so much.

I just found your channel today and fell in love with this project. I live 85 mikes from the nearest yarn store plus we are snowed in this week...so, I went to my stash. I am using a variegated yarn (pink, white, gray) with short repeats. Believe it or not, it is actually turning out very nice. In conclusion, I would say: dont be afraid to go a little wild with your colors. Its a great pattern! Thank you!

[marlosanchez]

You are absolutely amazing! I’m a newbie and you explain everything so well that I’m able to do stitches I never thought I could do...thank you!

[robinungureit]

Thank you so much for this video! I miscalculated on the amount of yarn i had (my fault entirely) and ended up tying off after the second cable cross and its still absolutely beautiful. Thank you again for taking the time to create this video.
