My goals for this project:
  • Learn a variety of crochet stitches
  • Learn how to use a crochet pattern
  • Crochet a blanket
How I will measure my success:
  • Documenting what I have learned (i.e. the stitches, how to use a pattern)
  • Comparing my work to the images/tutorials online
My experiences so far:

So far, I know how to knit. Although knitting is different from crocheting, hopefully the skills I have learned from knitting will help me in learning how to crochet!

I noticed that my speed of crocheting is a lot faster now compared to the beginning. I am glad that I am becoming more comfortable with crocheting as I am used to knitting. I am very fortunate of my knowledge gained from knitting as it helped me begin my crochet project a lot faster and easier. For example, I already knew hot to attach another ball of yarn when I have finished a ball of yarn, so I did not have to research this. Here is my blanket so far: (Lee, 2017)

For the first week, I planned to research basic crochet stitches online and watch videos, while practicing using the crochet hook and yarn. To begin my research, I found this website to learn the basics of how to crochet step by step, including an introduction of crochet supplies, how to hold a crochet hook and how to make a slip knot for crochet. Due to my previous knowledge from knitting, I knew which size crochet hook to use with a certain type of yarn and I had all the materials at home already. Although I do not know how to crochet (yet!), I have crochet hooks that I use when I make mistakes when I knit. To start, I needed to make a slip knot.
