week14

This week I did not have enough time to work on any new crochet designs, but I did get to rearrange the headbands button and made them smaller. Throughout these fourteen weeks I have learned several things, especially starting new patterns. Not only did I learn new steps  and techniques, but I also learned that I need enough patience to complete at least on project in order to begin a new one. This weekend I need to work on my TED talk presentation discussing and answering questions about my 20 time. Within  my Presentation I will include visuals of what I completed and I will also demonstrate the progress I made throughout the semester. I would not consider crochet fun just yet since my mentor is teaching me new ways, but i will consider it as an entertainment and  a good distraction from everything else, especially technology usage.

week 13

These headbands are
The most difficult task for me to complete, however it was fun and very entertaining.  This week did not go as I had planned on working on due too projects i had to complete.  Since I'm on spring break I am going to Work on more other things, but for now I  would need to wait because I need to purchase more colored yarn.

week12

So this week I have completed the "pinning square" it was difficult for me to do on my own so my mom (mentor) helped me. When I did it at the beginning I did not know how to do the center stitch.  Since, I am still a beginner it is more difficult to be able to learn the new patterns right away. Another difficulty I have been having is joining to different patterns together into one . My goal this week is to learn how to join two different crochet patterns. If I accomplish this goal then, I would like to crochet a threaded headband.

WEEK11

Comparing to other weeks, this week has been a much more successful than any other. First off, from the beginning of the week I have now memorized the steps. I may have some difficulties, but until now I have learned from those mistakes . However, crochet has taught me that you need to have a lot of patience in order to improve the skills a person is going for. Following that, I have learned to decrease  from a mistake. As of now, my goal is to make a crochet pinning square.

This week I completed one of the ideas of crochet which was the face scouters. I had a little trouble trying to start off the center part , but afterwards it became easier for me to to do. However I plan to to do a coffee mug holder this upcoming week. If not o will try to do the baby shoes.

week9

This week was mostly about projects, research, and tests. However, every week that goes by it seems to become much more busy for me, because of all theses projects. This week for my 20 time was mostly about looking for ideas of what to create. My mother and I found many cute and adorable materials to use. My goal this week is to be able to start on one of the ideas we found on pinterest. To conclude this busy week I took my ADAP test on thurday 3/5/15, and gladly i passed it with an 88.

week 8

  During break I did not accomplish much of my 20 time, however I did get to do work a little on it. my goal(s) this upcoming week is to be able to do several more headbands and learn to begin a scarf. According to the time I have been learning to crochet, my mother has challenged me a little by adding different things to it . Since I am still learning how it is called on my upcoming post I will make sure I will be more specific on the techniques or ways my mother has taught me and also I will add pictures.

week 7

This week has been really busy and tiring, but somehow I still managed to work on my 20 time which is crochet. Since next week i will be on break I plan to do more things for my project.  As I progress I am now starting to know the steps and becoming a little quicker. However, I am not good enough yet. My goal is to become better every week. This week has been really long especially knowing we are almost on break, but there is many test that are ending my week. My plan for these upcoming week is to create a hat, since I have learned the simple steps. In health I learned about having communication with parents and doing the right choices is the best. Since my mother is my mentor I have had more communication with her about everything I had questions of , especially my project.

Week6

This week I have finally started learning the first steps. As in the previous blog I explained about who was my mentor, which is my mother. This week I have accomplished what I had planned. My goals this week is to be able to show more progress. However, I am still having a lot of trouble memorizing the steps, but that is another goal for me to be able to accomplish this upcoming week.

week 5

 On January 28, 2015, I presented my 20 time pitch for two class periods. Throughout the pitch I answered questions about what my project is based on and what I will be doing. I have also included examples and demonstrations of what I plan to do. This upcoming week I will be working on my 20 time with my mom since she is my mentor. My plan is to be able to learn a memorize the steps of how to start off.

So I have officially decided what my project will be based on. Yes, I know I was going to do my project about studying depression, but i could not find a mentor. Due to that issue i decided  to learn crochet since my mom and aunt could be my mentors. This week my mom taught me the basic steps, although its a little difficult for me, since I have not  learned before  I feel like I am doing a little progress. The purpose is to give those in need of warmth a blanket, hats or scarfs. I honestly  think its a fun prohect for me, because I will get to design things for a purpose. Also I get to concentrate on something elese besides just school work.

week 3

After several of different ideas I have finally decided on what my 20 time project will be about. At first I was not sure of doing my project about studying and learning about depression, but from my perspective I think it will help me in a variety of ways. For example, I would get to analyze the differences between a person in depression and a person who is not. Even though it will take time to be able to analyze in certain areas, but I would get to know the causes and how to identify when a person is in depression. Lastly I could probably find prevention's for it.  

  However, my goal this week is to find a mentor. Also I need to make more progress, because the date for the pitch is getting really close. This weekend I need to decide how will I present my pitch, otherwise I feel like I am doing well so far.

20 time updated blog

Although , I still yet not have decided what to do for my 20 time project I have an idea in mind. I would like to study and learn about depression. The purpose for it would be that I can observe and maybe come up with solutions. Also, I would learn the causes and how it affects a person. If I get to use this as my 20 time project I would learn several things from it. Yet, Im still not sure.
