This week for my learning project, I mainly focussed on starting my project. I was planning on focussing on learning how to read patterns, but this video is beneficial to both goals. The video by 365DayofDana shows me what to do in a clear video, but also has the pattern listed at the top of the video. I watched the video one time and have not been back to watching it. I wrote down the patterns listed on the screen, and when I forget what to do, I am now able to look at the note and remember what it means I like this video specifically because it is very clear. I find that a lot of crochet projects on YouTube or Tiktok are extremely quick, without explaining anything to the audience and often not showing the work they are doing, which is extremely unhelpful. I also like that she explains the process while she is doing it, it not JUST the visual aspect. She also explains some things multiple times, which is very uncommon in the videos I have seen. Plus, she gives me the tools to do it on my own. She shows how to counts the stitches properly, during and after the steps are done so I am able to look at my own work and be sure that I didn’t miss anything! Overall, I liked the video style but I am also aware that not all videos are as educational as this one has been. This week I was able to make 9 circles for the blanket, after messing up multiple times in the beginning, due to my own miscalculations on sizing (not related to the video). Next week I will continue working on the blanket and try some new online sources!
