Since my last blog post I have been practicing my half-double crochet stitch a lot. I made a long column of half-double crochet stitches, just to practice. When I finally felt that I was experienced enough, I went out and bought the materials for my blanket. My blanket is going to be a large rectangle made from smaller pink, blue, and white squares. Each one of the squares will have a different type of stitch, and in the end I will make a black edge around the entire blanket. I am planning on making the black outline a very difficult stitch, to challenge my new crocheting abilities.
For last week's stitch I used blue yarn, and for this week's stitch I decided to use my white yarn. I decided to go for a harder stitch that would stand out. I decided to do this stitch with white yarn, so that the white would stand out in the blanket. This week I decided that I would learn a waffle stitch. I had seen and heard of this stitch before this week, and I thought that it would be a cool stitch for me to learn. I went on YouTube and looked up how to do a waffle stitch and I found this video*. I watched the video one time before I began crocheting. I watched the video again and I worked along with the video this time, trying to learn the stitch. I had to restart twice because I kept messing up the stitch. On my third try I managed to perfect the waffle stitch. I worked on my waffle stitch square all day Friday, and by Friday night I had my first white square done. If I have time this week I will be continuing to make my white waffle stitch squares.
