This week for my 20% project week two I learned how to crochet and made a coaster. For Christmas one year my grandma gave me a bunch of yarns because I was learning to knit but they also worked for crocheting. I watched some videos and crocheted a little square and realized it looked like a coaster and could be used as one. Some successes I had was that I finished making the coaster and it works! My cousin is also learning to crochet from my grandma so I gave her the coaster and she made me one too. Some failures I had was that it took a while to get a hang of it and . An adjustment I had to make was that I had to finish it at home because I couldn’t finish it in class. I left of with a finished coaster and next week I will start a whole new project.

For my 20% project week three I started to make a turtle. I used the Woobles kit to make the turtle and it came with everything I needed. It comes with all the colors of yarn you will need, eyes for the turtle, and it has a QR code for videos you can watch and follow along to make the turtle. Some successes that I had was that a got half way done with the head and I am starting to get the hang of crocheting. Some failures that I had was that I halfway through I realized that I was doing it wrong so I had to take it apart and restart. Some adjustments I had to make was getting a different crochet hook because the hook I had before was too big for the yarn but luckily I had more sizes. I left off at half when I was Alf way through the turtles head and next week I will hopefully finish the head and start on the body.

This is the first week of my 20% project and I am working on crocheting dog toys for animals in an animal shelter and my mentor is my mom. At first I wanted to work on crocheting stuffed animals for kids in hospitals but when we called the hospital they said that all donated toys hade to be brand new. Then I started looking up what kind of toys I could make for animals and I found a few good options I am going to be making. I will be crocheting a dog bone a stuffed dog and another type of dog bone. Monday I will go get supplies for crocheting and make a list of everything I will need so that it is a quick trip to hobby lobby. And a few successes I had was getting a plan and making a list for what to get at hobby lobby on Monday.

There are so many people who I would want to invite to dinner, but these are my top three: Zendaya, Billie Eilish, and Taylor Swift. Zendaya is an actress from many T.V. Shows and movies but I would invite her because she seems like such a good person and super friendly. I would love to be able to meet her and know more about her. Next I chose Billie Eilish, who is a singer, because she is very nice and likes kids, I would also like to know more about why she writes her songs and if she is making any more. The other person I would invite is Taylor Swift because she seems really nice and I would love to get to know her and maybe even find out one of her new songs. These are all the reasons why I would invite Zendaya, Billie Eilish, and Taylor
