I have talked to my mom about helping me with the project because she is learning how to knit as well. I figured that she's a good teacher and that she could teach me some of the things that she learned and give me tips.
I haven't really done a lot for my project this week. I feel so bad! But, I did find a YouTube video that has a scarf knitting pattern. I think I might start on it either today in class or tomorrow.

This is a blog for my language class. We are doing a 20% time project until the end of the school year.



Proposal: Knitting
Scarves, hats, and socks
Needs and Opportunities
I have always wanted to learn how to knit. This will be a learning experience because knitting is presumed to be difficult. My goal is to knit three projects.
Audience / Clients / Users
People who like sweaters and yarn art will benefit from this project.
Mentors
Elizabeth Siek

Product

Technology
I will have pictures of me knitting and possibly some music.
Reality Check
I will need knitting needles, and lots of yarn.
Possible Roadblocks
Time will definitely be a roadblock because yarn art takes a long time (I learned that from crochet experience).
Conclusion
This will be a fun project because I have wanted to learn how to knit for a while. I would love to expand my useful art skills and make many interesting projects for the rest of my life.

I hope that these projects will turn out amazing in the end!
