Genius Hour Week 3

For Week 3 of Genius Hour, I planned to continue practicing stitches and practice making the blanket using the pattern.

I practiced the stitches and was so excited to start the blanket!

I applied the "chain stitch" that I learned previously to begin the blanket! I found it challenging because I had to make a chain of 161 stitches. I lost count and had to redo it several times. Then I found that it was easier to count out loud to keep track. By watching the video, I learned that a "double crochet cluster" is a group of 3 "double crochet" stitches in one stitch.

By the end of the hour, I completed 2 rows of the blanket!

I am proud of myself because although it was challenging right in the very beginning due to my mistakes, I persevered!

For the next Genius Hour, I will continue the making the blanket!

Genius Hour Week 6

On my timeline when planning my Genius Hour project, I was hoping to complete my blanket in Week 6. However, as previously mentioned, it cannot be completed in this short period of time with the materials I chose. This week as I continue to crochet my blanket, I am reflecting on my progress. 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)
