hey everyone, so over the spring break I had huge plans to buckle down and crochet during the break. I had every day planned out to the T, and then I got a stomach virus. I was in so much pain I couldn't even eat for two days and couldn't get out of bed until Sunday evening it was completely horrible. So all my plans for everything I was going to crochet was ruined because I wasn't able to even move my hands very much besides grab my Gatorade.
Luckily I am almost better and can now follow through with my plans on what I am going to be crocheting. I was able to take a picture of what I already created but couldn't look at my screen long enough to be able to post it, since really anything made me sick to my stomach. I am really hoping that I can finish my plans by the end of next week and have at least 3? pictures uploaded. honestly this is a bit more then I think I am capable of doing like I thought that since I know how crochet that this would not be very hard to do and finish in a couple of week, and now here I am 6 week away from the due date and have little to nothing finished in the first place. hopefully I finish up in time, until next time, bye guys!

blog post 8
hey guys! so I have made a good amount of progress and during the break I'm going to be uploading images of everything that I have done, the name of all the stuff and such. I wish I had more time to do this project I really do, I am so swamped with homework lately that crocheting these things are becoming more and more difficult but its to late in the game to change my mind on my project now, plus what would I even do anyways? Any how, I have been drowning in homework to keep my grades up and I do hope that during the spring break I can make maybe 2 more? I think that will be my goal is to make two more and finish up the one I am working on currently and then make one big post with all the images and information, I was thinking maybe when I do upload the pictures that I should also do how long it takes me to create each one so that other people can get a good estimate of how long it would take them, a beginner or intermediate, if they decided to re create what I tried to re create.
During this process I have realized that this is a good amount more difficult then I thought it would be, the amount of concentration you need to have to remember which stitch to do next or how many links you need to make to continue the next section. I thought it would be way more easier since I had a good amount of experience with crocheting already but making all this? yeah no I am pretty much a beginner, good thing that I do understand a lot of the stitch names and remember how to do them. When I first learned how to crochet I started off by looking up all the stitches and information and that was a long time ago so you would have assumed that I would have forgotten but now coming back to it I do remember so much. I may have bit off more then I could chew with this project that I chose.
until next time guys.

blog post 6
hey guys! so I think what I am going to do is I wont be posting any pictures of what I have done so far and at the very end I will just do one big post that has all the pictures of everything I have done so it will be a kind of like ill post no problem during this and tell you about everything that has been done my struggles everything. Then later on I will make a post including pictures and a description on everything like there names and how long it took me to take to make them how difficult they were and just all the hardship I went through to create the squares.
so this time what I am going to tell you is that I have found all the YouTube videos that I will be using during this, I watched a good amount of videos looking out on whether or not I can understand what they are saying, whether or not they go a speed that I can understand and follow what they use, since I have only one crochet hook I need to make sure that the video has the same mm of a crochet hook so that mine will turn out very close to what they are doing. Also what I looked for is if the video went into enough detail on how to do the stitches, if the video is a good enough quality so that I am able to see what they are doing and it isn't completely blurry since, believe it or not, there are a good amount of videos that I tried watching for a reference on what I am going to be making that you just are not able to see everything due to it being so blurry. (they need such a higher quality camera to record with if they are going to be a tutorial on YouTube) until next time guys :)

So today is another day, I honestly haven't accomplished anything else. I have been so busy trying to catch up with my other classes that I haven't made any of the other squares, but since we have a 4 day weekend I will have so much time to catch up on my creating more squares. I also tried to upload a picture to my last post but for since my blog is attached to my Google drive on my phone I'm going to have to try and transfer the picture over to my phone so that I can upload it maybe next week.
honestly I wish I would have done something that would not require so much time, like I maybe trying to cook food and record my experience but instead I chose crochet which hurts my wrists. is it to late to change my choice on what im doing? oh well, I guess I can power through this and try and continue to create more stuff. I wish I was more interested in this at this time in my life but I with so much going on by the time I get home I am so tired that once I lay down I am ready for bed. Well this is my update for this week, hopefully this time next week I will have so much more content to post since I will have time to work over the course of four days, until next time.

blog post 4
hey guys, so I did manage to crochet some and I have fully completed one and although I do not have a photo to upload right now I can later tonight and that is what I plan to do. so when I looked up the granny stitch I did find some different versions of it and I found one that is pretty interesting so I did decide to crochet that one. it took me only about an hour to crochet it and it wasn't to difficult I had a good amount of fun creating it and if I could create more like that one I will have no problem getting them done.
I honestly am slacking in my project a little bit because I have been swamped in math homework and class work, but this week I do have some free time so I will have way more time to create more squares and then upload about them. So let me tell you about what I have created so far. so far with the square that I crocheted last week I made it with multi colored yarn, and I plan on using that as well as black for the rest, but with this it is really cute and the way the colors blend in with one another it kind of looks like it was supposed to be used for the exact reason I used it for, I really am hoping at the end of this that I will have enough squares to put together to make something even greater, but one can only hope.
