What do you do Period Ten?
Period Ten is where learning is personal and you have the freedom and time to explore new ideas and pursue mastery in a skill or content area. This idea was born out of my passion for education and my belief in the importance of relevant and meaningful learning and creating. During "Period Ten," everyday in 2012, I am going to create and/or learn something new. Each week I will share my progress. To learn more, please visit the Period Ten page link. Enjoy!
Neck-wear, neck-wear... all about it. My very first creation of this year, and first post on Period Ten is a crochet cord scarf. Well, now I have several of them because I love them so much and always get fantastic compliments. They can be wrapped around to form a bunchy, warm wrap for your neck or they can be worn loosely, acting more like a necklace. I wanted to make some that had a different stitch. So I looked up other ways to make a crochet cord. I found one that was exactly what I was looking for. It would create a lighter (thinner) cord and looked decorative - and looked harder than it actually is - always a plus!
This is the first one I made. It took me about an hour - one episode of House on Fox :)
Since that only took an hour... I figured, why not bang out another while watching American Idol - wait no... it was Hoarders!
And then I got a little crazy with some RHS Rams themed ones... who will be the lucky recipients?
How did I learn how to make this cord you ask... well...
Yes this is in some other language... (pause for serious Internet search...) It's Russian!! Haha. Figured it out. Ok, so I am adding YouTube tutorials to my list of things to "make." Stay tuned!
