Question
hi would u be able to tell me how to put a name in a blanket that ive croushed i dont knnow how to do it
Hi Tina,
You can buy personalized labels with your name on it from various companies but I like to put the date on my labels.
I buy laundry marking tape. It comes in a little kit with a special permanent marking pen.
I cut a piece about 2 1/2" and write my name, city and date.
It has an adhesive side so I iron it on to an area of the blanket where the crochet stitches are pretty solid. Then I whipstitch it in place. I even do this on the underside of doilies.
You can buy the personalized labels from www.charmwoven.com
The link to Hobby Lobby for the marking tape is

I hope this helps.

Traditional Crochet and Filet Crochet (not clothes) I do more thread crochet than yarn.
Experience
I have been crocheting for over 50 years. As a child growing up in New Orleans, LA, I had aunts and older cousins who taught me, but now they are all gone and sadly, there is no one who crochets in my area. I hope to be able to meet fellow crocheters through this website, and I'd be delighted if I could help someone answer a question. I'm sure I'll be asking my share, also.
I specifically enjoy doilies and afghans. I really like designing filet crochet. I don't make clothes, other than hats and scarves.
Education/Credentials
I learned as a child in the 50's from aunts and older cousins.
