This week I worked on remaking a sweater I had made in the past. The original pattern of this sweater was from a TikTok (that has since been lost in the algorithm, but is similar to this tutorial by @savannah.stitches)I followed over a year ago, but it did not fit me. I made my sweater much too large, it fit my older brother pretty well but it wasn’t his style (LOL)! I wasn’t sure how to fix this sweater, especially because the yarn is not that soft, so I probably would not wear it very often. So, I searched online through YouTube and TikTok and even Google of what to do with my yarn now. I found MANY things I was inspired by, which is good because I have SO MUCH yarn! I specifically liked this book cover by Mahum, however, I wanted mine to look different, it was good for the inspiration! I tried to track my progress very heavily with this project, instead of just doing the beginning and end looks, so I took a lot of pictures and time lapsed the work I was doing! To do this I used iMovie again (first used in my previous post, 'Directing the Classroom') and a video speeder app called “Speed Editor.” I liked this app, but there were a lot of ads and the videos could only be sped up to 2x speed without paying, so I had to put my videos through the editor many times to get them fast enough. Here is my short video of my work!

This is incredible! Crochet always seemed like magic to me as my only attempt in elementary school resulted in either a very thin scarf, or a very long sock.

Hi Haylee, that's a good question, I definitely have a lot of favourites! I think I would have to go with the flower bouquet, just because they're so pretty and they're quick! But if I'm including unfinished projects, I already love the baby blanket I'm working on, so I am sure that will take the cake!
