This week, I was able to get about two rows of my blanket done, which I was happy with as I have only been able to get one row done for a while now. However, I am having some issues with the amount of yarn that I am having to use in order to get my rows done. I, for some reason, am having to use a ball of yarn per row, which was not happening when I was using my colorful yarn. It only began when I switched to the white yarn. This may be because the white yarn may have less material per bundle, but I am not sure. However it is caused, this shortage of yarn is creating a lot of setbacks for me as I am making less and less of a row with each bundle of yarn. Due to having such a large blanket size and such little yarn each week to make a remarkable amount of progress, I am starting to feel that completing the full blanket is an unrealistic goal for this time period. So, I am thinking that I may be able to finish off this piece with one or two more bundles of yarn and make it a decorative piece to put at the end of my bed rather than a full blanket, and to spend the rest of the weeks of this project working on smaller projects like pillows and other stuffed items. This is not ideal, of course, as I was really hoping to crochet a full-sized blanket, but I have gained a lot of experience from completing what I have been able to. I am still planning on completing this blanket after the Genius Hour project time period is up, but I feel that the rest of the weeks of this project could be best used by me through using the skills that I gained to make more items rather than focusing on just one. While it has been a little aggravating to keep having issues with the amounts of yarn I am using, I have not changed my opinion on how much I enjoy crocheting at all. I love this new hobby that I have gained, and I am excited to use the skills that I have learned to make more items later on. I am also excited to finish this blanket in the future, but, as I said, I do not think I can realistically finish the size blanket I chose in the time that we have left on this project. I will continue to crochet for the weeks to come, though, as I will finish this as a decorative piece and I will create more small items that I can use as well.
