2/5 Weekly Goals

I have a few projects that I plan to work on this week: a crochet beret, cardigan, and a knit scrunchie.

I hope to finish a project that I already started last week.  Then, there is a bigger crochet project that I hope to be starting this week that may take me some time to complete.  Finally, there is a small knit project that I hope to make at least once or twice before the week is over.

Crochet Beret

    I hope to have finished this project by the end of the week.  This means to have completed the rest of A.2 and A.3.  If you do not know what I am referring to you can take a look at my updates from last week linked here: Week of 1/29 Updates.  I am super excited to complete this project and to see the final result and how it turns out!

Crochet Cardigan

    I really want to start a crochet cardigan.  I think that this is a project that could take me some time to complete and I feel like I need a project that I will be working on for a while.  There are 3 patterns for cardigans that I have found and liked, but the most recent one that I have found (Crochet Knit Look Cardigan), I have completely fallen in love with.  I adore the oversized yet feminine look that this cardigan has.  I feel like oversized yet feminine is the style that I wish to possess, currently half of my style is just oversized, thus I think that this crochet cardigan is perfect for me and may be something that I actually wear and use.  I plan to make this pattern in a size small with the yarn Caron (no wool) Marble Cakes in the shade of Blue Velvet which is a gorgeous variegated yarn that has grays, white, teal, and a darker teal.

Knit Scrunchie

    I am taking the inspiration for this project and pattern from Jenna Phipps over on youtube.  I plan to follow her pattern she makes in the video.  Which seems simple enough that I, a beginner knitter, could follow.  The exception being that any scrunchie(s) I make will not have stripes.  I am really excited about this because I have made some crochet scrunchies (which is something that I want to try again and maybe try a different pattern), but have never made a knit scrunchie.  I think that this is a project that I will continue to be excited about after I have finished it and is something that I will actually use.

1/29 Weekly Goals

    I plan to update on what I have done at the end of every week, including progress made on projects along with any projects that I started or finished throughout the week.  Going into this week I wanted to set some craft goals to check on at the end of this week.  These are not serious goals or very important deadlines, just to give some context for the update at the end of the week.  Also, please keep in mind that this is a hobby of mine and as a college student I have other things in my life that are of greater importance.

Beret

    I want to make a gauge swatch for a crochet beret pattern.  I will have a link to the pattern below, this is not my pattern, I did not create it, I am just using it.  Then, since this pattern is split into 3 different sections, I hope to have gotten at least half of part A done.  I will have an update at the end of the week on my progress.

Crochet Beret Pattern

Arm Warmers

    The crochet beret mentioned above is the craft that I am planning to spend the most time on during this week, however, for about a month I have been planning to make some crochet arm warmers.  I do not have a pattern for this and will write up the "pattern" that I come up with, or at least an update at the end of the week if I end up starting this project.

Next

    If I finish the arm warmers and make progress on the crochet beret or want to take a break from working on the beret my next plan is to make a crochet bandana.  I am not entirely sure what pattern I am going to use or if I am going to use a pattern that is already made or improvise my own.  Either way if I start this project and figure out the pattern situation for this project it will be in the update and the end of next week.
