                                                          Everyday Is A Good Day To Crochet
Help! I'm crocheting and I cant get up! so some background on my topic would be the reason why I chose this was because earlier in my life my mom started to crochet and I was so interested in it because she made this HUGE blanket for my dad and I was like amazed, like wow mom! you are so cool! WOW! AMAZING! and so when she finished this blanket which took her a good half a year to finish I asked her could you teach me how to crochet. She said yes! while I was being taught she told me about how my grandma crochet and how all the ponchos I had worn when I was younger she was the one who had made them, and that was just like holy moly why can everyone else in my family crochet but I didn't know how to? so I got taught and ive only progressed from that point, picking it up and stopping it every once in awhile. so some questions that I will hopefully answer during this would be, can I do this? how many stitches am I capable of learning in this? will I be able to keep up with learning a different stitch or pattern every week? hopefully I can!

 In order to follow through with this I will need to do research on how to do a stitch or how to do the pattern, watch videos learn when to cross over, which link I need to go through. So I already know how to start everything off, how to do a single crochet, and how important it is so go through the correct one when you are crocheting. So I will need to do more research on which stitch I will be doing each week, which level of difficulty it is and then I will be progressing on the stitching. What I will need to know is mostly just the difficulties of each stitch and how difficult it will be to do them and how long it will take me to do just one 8x8 square.

Where I will be finding all my information will be on YouTube and Google because I will be able to find online all the patterns or stitches and how difficult they are then go onto YouTube and then look them all up since I learn best with seeing a video and not reading on how to do something. I wont really be able to interview anybody except my mom since she is the only one I know that can crochet and since she made that big huge blanket when I was younger she knows the nooks and crannies of crocheting.

The outcome of my research will be having all of the stitches and patterns possibly printed out and put into a binder so that if someone looks, they can see them from easy to difficult and will be able to find every single site that I went on, all the videos I watched in order to learn how to do what they are looking at. including all the 8x8 squares that I will be able to show everyone that I could also put into the book so they can see an example of what I made that follows through with everything. My product will be a bunch of stitches and patterns possibly put together to create one big blanket that I could possibly gift to someone or donate depends on how great this turns out.

This topic is viable because it asked us what we do outside of school that is school related and honestly I do not know of any school that provides you with a course on crocheting and I do this sometimes on my free time and I took my own time at home to learn how to crochet in the first place, also it was in the suggested box on things people have done so why not start on something that I know and just further my knowledge on it making it a bigger learning experience.
