In the past week, I mostly worked on making more granny squares. I did not have too much time since I was working on catching up on assignments and work from when I was sick, but I am now up to 9 granny squares! It is hard to tell exactly how many I will need to make the sweater, but I think I will need quite a few more. I also started to make a small blanket with the chunky yarn and 9.0mm crochet hook. I lost track of how many I chained to start the blanket, but I then learned how to do a half double crochet in a cross stitch pattern which I used to make the rest of the rows. I was able to get about 15 rows done, which is a good start! This is a bit of a side project and will likely take quite a while to make a full length blanket. I used a video to learn how to make the blanket which was very accessible. It had chapters marked for each part of the process and had subtitles, making it easy to follow even without sound. I’m hoping to have more time to complete the granny squares and make the sweater very soon!
