This week, I finally started the first couple of rows of my blanket. I did them over a span of two days, and I got four rows done. I actually did not use the stitch I had been practicing with, I used a stitch intended for blankets specifically that I found on YouTube. Thankfully, the video was very detailed in its explanations and I was able to get the hang of the steps pretty quickly. I also was able to keep the edges straight while I was making new rows, which made me very happy as that is what I was struggling with when I was practicing. (Day 1 Final Product) I was very surprised with how much easier it was to work with this yarn than it was to work with the practice yarn. I was able to work very fast because the yarn was much more sturdy and easier to push the crocheting stick through, and I was very happy with this because I did not get hung up as much when pulling yarn through which allowed me to work more efficiently. I also had a lot of fun making these first couple of rows since I was able to complete them on my own without having to have my sister help me like she did when I was practicing, and I also understood the steps better than I did previously. (Day 2 Final Product) I am very pleased with how my blanket is turning out so far, and I am going to try to keep a consistent pace of working on it for two to three days each week. I am going to be moving very fast because this is a very large blanket, as it is 50" by 65", and I am already on my third spool of yarn after only four rows. Since I am going to have to keep buying more yarn which will set me back if I run out, I am going to get as much done each week as possible in order to finish my blanket in time. I am very excited to continue working on this project, and I cannot wait to see how it turns out!
