This week, my row total has reached 50. Unfortunately, while counting my rows, I realized I forgot to switch stitches a few rows ago when I should be doing so every 10 rows. This creates the checkerboard-like effect that you can see on the photos of the blanket made by alternating front and back post double crochet stitches. Because I forgot to make this step, I will have to undo quite a few of my rows of my rows, so my row total will technically reach 50 instead of 56 for this week.
Given that my total is 60, I have finished 14 rows this week. This is even more than I finished last week, and I am happy with this progress. I may not be able to complete as many rows in the coming week, however. This is because I am planning on working on another crochet project unrelated to my Genius Hour project. The reason I have not posted any new pictures of the blanket is because it is rather difficult to view progress through these pictures. However, I will post another photo either when it is completely finished or next week. The progress should be apparent comparing the beginning of the project to the end. I am very quickly running out of yarn, so I want to spend the next week finishing this blanket, then spend the week after working on techniques and the pattern I want to use for the next blanket. One of my largest concerns is delivery time in case I run out of yarn. I thought I would be able to finish with only buying 10 skeins of yarn, however I am not certain if this will be sufficient or not yet. As I progress through the project, my skills are being tested and improved upon. The basis of crochet is learning the basics and building off of it, and I feel like making such a large project has helped me immensely in continuing to master the basic stitches.
