Progress 2/23

            I've already started on my first hat. I have finished the brim of the hat and will soon finish the rest. I've also already utilized my mom as a mentor and have asked her questions. She has helped me pick out the right yarn, and helped me when I got stuck a few times. The schedule I created might have too much time in between but I will change that as I go. If I did put too much working time in, it just means I'll have more time to create more projects. I’ve done quite a bit of research on different styles. I even found myself a little word bank so I can keep up on the knitting language. Something I might try is making baby cloths as well for my baby cousin. But I will end up donating the most of it to the homeless shelter and the rescue. I’m looking forward to the rest of my project.

Week 1 2/2

Proposal:

I believe my 20 Time Project should be to learn how to knit. Like all repetitive actions, knitting can be soothing, which would be good with my busy schedule. Also, the things I can make could be donated. I could make things like hates, scarfs, socks, mittens. I intend to work my way up to making sweaters for the dogs at the rescue I volunteer for. I could also make stuff for the rescue to sell and raise money.

Feedback:

Wrote "for the rescue" twice in the last sentence

Last sentence- "to sell to raise" to "To sell and raise"

Somethings that I've learned that can help me is my mom has a knitting loom kit that makes it easier to make hats and scarfs. She knows how to make hats and says it's easy to make scarfs even though she hasn’t tried that yet. She says I can make mittens with the loom, however it's a bit harder and she hasn't attempted that yet.
