Weekly Recap
This week I finished making heart pins so I had a full set to give out in class today. Over the last 2 weeks I have made roughly 50 crochet hearts and given them to family, friends and classmates. I like that they are small are not too time or resource consuming but are still super cute and easy to add to other projects such as hats, blankets, granny squares, etc. I think if i were to make them again I’d leave a loop on a few so people can use them as keychains but realistically I think if someone wanted to make theirs into a keychain it would be pretty easy to do. I love creating little physical tokens of my appreciation, I feel like it helps people remember they are appreciated, so I’m glad to have taught myself how to make these as I can totally make them for students in the future. I asked a couple classmates if I could add a photo of them with their mini heart to my blog, shout out to Ella and Hanne!
This week I’ve also been working on my blanket. I started working on a green blanket about two weeks ago and it has been coming along quite well! I greatly underestimated how much yarn I would need so I had about 4/5 days between running out and being able to get more but all things considered I’m making pretty quick work of it. I’m using a “half double crochet” stitch for the entire blanket and I love how it looks so far. I find it super relaxing and passive since I’m just doing the same thing over and over again so I don’t have to pay too much attention. Also through making my blanket I’ve had to learn how to “add on” which is just adding a new ball of yarn to the project. At first I was scared since it seemed like a skill that would be tricky but it was actually really simple.
