This week, I continued joining the hexagons. I perfected my method and managed to get 9 of them joined. The major problem I am encountering is that this is taking a bit longer to join the individual parts together than I thought and I am concerned that finishing the blanket to the scale I would like will not be possible by the end of the project.
Each hexagon is about 4 inches wide, and I believe I will try to make it 9 hexagons wide for now until I can add more, making it 36 inches wide. Please keep in mind that this is only for now and I will add more to make it larger as the project progresses. I am thinking of expanding the scope of my project to include knitting as well since I have recently picked up that hobby and would love to incorporate it. Instead of only doing blankets, I could challenge myself to make knitted projects as well such as a hat or scarf. Since I don’t foresee this hexagon project ending up as a full-sized blanket, I am considering changing the course of this project to just improving my knitting as well as crocheting skills rather than blankets specifically. While these two crafts may seem very different, they can be rather similar in some ways. With how I have been able to improve my crochet ability, I would love to focus on knitting for the remaining weeks of the project. This seems to be the most productive approach I can see because of the issues mentioned with the hexagonal blanket. While I do think it is possible to finish, it will simply take a much larger amount of time than is remaining for this project. Additionally, finishing it will not help me with the original goal of the project since it is a repetitive process that I do not think will help me sharpen my skills in the area I was planning to. So, with the few remaining weeks, I want to make smaller projects in other areas I want to improve in.
