(20 Percent Project) Blog Week #3 : Crochet

Hey again, this week for my 20% project I continued to add some touch ups to the base of my duck by trying to give it some accessories like a mini hat. I kinda struggled on trying to find a video on how to make a hat for my duck and to get the stitch right. I wasn’t really moving fast just because I felt a little tired and stressed, but I need to ask my teacher for some stuffing to stuff the duck. I accomplished to make a hat and finish some of the duck base. Before I close it up I need to make sure I put in the safety eyes and then after the duck gets stuffed I will sew the hole closed and it will be complete and if I have time I’m going to make more accessories for the duck, that can help me with giving the duck character. Bye and thank you for reading, see you next week!

(20 Percent Project) Blog Week #2 : Crochet

While working on my 20% project this week I learned how to crochet the base of the duck while following the tutorial. I realized that I was going to need more items which is, safety eyes 9mm (or buttons) and some stuffing and normal orange thread. If I’m correct you can buy these at Michaels; the amount you would probably pay is around thirty-five and forty dollars, although I might ask my sewing teacher for some stuffing. I was struggling on learning the patterns because it wasn’t really specific on what to do and so I was finding more videos but it was still not enough information that they gave me, so when I went home today from school I got some help from my mentor(sister) at home I left off midway of the base for the duck. I am proud to say I’m somewhat on track just because of the base but the rest I will buy over the weekend. So for next week I will finish working on the base of the duck and once I get my materials I will finish the rest of the duck. Bye thank you for reading, see you next week!

(20 Percent Project) Blog Week #1 : Crochet

I started working on my 20% project today, I’m working on crocheting and to make a duck. This week my goal was to learn the basics about crocheting, I didn’t get to start on my project fully just because I was working on my plan sheet that was due on Friday 4/4/24. The good thing is I did get to watch some videos of the person making a duck, I found out I needed plush thread which I don’t have so I am going to need to get that, which you can get at Michael’s for ten-twelve dollars. I did struggle just because I didn’t really get to start on it so that kinda made a impact to my work time, so I’m going to have to buy some thread and work a lot over the weekend. I left off on watching some videos but I’m pretty sure I could watch those over the weekend. so what I plan for next week is to finish watching the video and buy the thread I need as soon as possible. Bye and thank you for reading, see you next week!
