Since I finished the hat I was making, this week I just began work on a project I was asked to do by a family friend, a small blanket for a baby. I knit it in alternating purls and knits (the two stitches in knitting) and plan to make it even longer so that it is taller than it is wide. They won’t need this blanket until early July, but I wanted to get it done quickly and thought that Genius Hour was a good way to challenge myself to get it done early. I will aim to finish it by next week but I don’t
Because the project is nearing its end, I wanted to reflect on my project and my progression through it. I am happy that I did not just spend the last weeks doing repetitive sewing, and instead focused on areas I actually wanted to target with this project. While I didn’t plan to include knitting, I felt that it was acceptable to add since it is similar to crochet and these hobbies often overlap somewhat. I am proud of my progress and while it may not be a very obvious difference in my work, I feel a lot more comfortable when approaching large projects in both knitting and crocheting. Additionally, I’m glad I learned more about how much work making a blanket out of smaller parts is and I definitely will try to finish the project I started, although I’m glad I didn’t devote my Genius Hour time to it and instead continued practicing with the skills I actually intended to develop in this project. This was the primary goal of the project, so I am very glad that this is the outcome that has occurred and overall I would say that while this project did not go exactly as planned, I am still happy with the result.
