I spent the majority of this week altering the previous hexagons that I made for the blanket. I decided to change the design slightly so that it would be mostly the same but the final round would have two chains to emphasize the points on the hexagon. This is what the original pattern called for, but I changed it when I decided to make two double crochets instead of three in the last round. I also added the white border to all of the current hexagons. I made one more hexagon to add to the blanket as well.
I am confident that this will be the final design for my hexagons, and I will be able to spend the rest of the time in the project making as many as I can. I still want to aim for the amount stated previously, meaning I will have to work a little faster, though I don’t believe it will be a problem. If the need arises, I can sew the blanket in a smaller size so that I can have something to show for the end of the project and then add onto it after. So far my decision is to sew the squares together so that I can practice my sewing ability and provide a new area for me to improve on throughout this project. I should be able to test this by sewing two squares together as practice. Throughout the hexagon blanket portion of the project, I believe I have learned an important lesson that you should completely finalize a design before attempting to make it. Although, I think it can still be a positive thing to change how you are working on something if it is not coming out the way you pictured it. Overall, crochet is a craft which is largely up to the creator with a large amount of freedom to make something that you like and feel happy with.
