That is how I learned as well. Started writing my own patterns 14 years ago because I couldn't read the ones from the stores. So I hear ya! So happy to have you here thank you!
Finally found your video again. I made half of a blanket and it’s my favorite but I ran out of yarn. Then I couldn’t find the video until today. This pattern is beautiful and easy. Thank you! Finishing my blanket today!

Darling, when finishing up the side of the blanket you explain, single crochet into the end of the row. You have an example of only two stiches that you do before you move onto the next stage...Does the stich go on either side of the vertical post? Thx!! Making a throw with the edge example, and made a baby blanket without the edgeing. Thx!❤

If using a stitch marker .. does it go in the last stitch of the row or in the chain 1 at the end of each row ? Having a hard time keeping edges straight.
@prettydarnadorable

Put it into the last stitch and if it helps put into the first stitch as well. Sometimes it can be hard to tell what is the turning chain and what is the first stitch. You can also use multiple markers so you keep them in for a few rows at a time. Hope this helps :)
