This week, I decided to try out the sewing techniques that I will be using for the final project. I tried a few methods such as using the slip stitch with a regular crochet hook, but I think simply sewing the pieces together will be the most efficient way to do this. If I manage to find a faster method of doing this, I will definitely be switching to that since this decision isn’t completely final. I did sew together three finished hexagons to test out this method. If I do decide to use this method in my finished piece, then this will be the starting point that I will build off of.
This work caused me to make a few less hexagons than I would have liked to this week, but I did finish the unfinished ones from last week and make 3 more. However, I was able to test out a few different ways to join pieces together which I did not know previously. I will be able to take these methods into my future work and continue to learn from them. I want to learn the certain situations where these different methods of joining would be ideal to use, and make sure that my current plan matches the method I plan on using. I still want to make a graphic depiction of how the final blanket will look, and from here on out I believe I want to start focusing more on sewing the blanket together. My goal for next week is to have at least 8 hexagons joined together. If I cannot manage that, I want to at least gauge if I think I can get the project done at the blanket size I plan to do, and re-adjust if I don’t believe I can make it.
