Activity Name: Crochet club CAS element(s) involved: C
Group
Is this activity completed or ongoing?
I have completed this activity concerning CAS but crochet is a way of life...so...Im not sure Ill ever truly escape. Activity Reflection: Comment only on those learning outcomes listed below that are relevant to this activity. Through crochet club I have definitely increased my awareness of my own strengths, before commencing the club I could crochet but had never pushed myself in terms of my abilities. After joining the club have become a lot more experimental with the items that I have made, although I still need to work on my speed as it takes me a long time to complete particular items. Recently I have also begun attempting to help other members learn to crochet or enhance their existing skills with some success; this is something that Im sure I will improve on with time. As this is a group activity, collaboration is an essential part of crochet club. This is particularly important when attempting to produce enough items to sell but collaboration also contributes to the supportive atmosphere and our collective knowledge of crochet. We also have a schoology page where we share patterns and ideas for future stalls and sales. The sales element of crochet club is where the club is able to support various charitable organisations and through this we engage with issues of global importance. Another aspect of crochet club that has enhanced my awareness of global issues is realising the time taken to make items and the origin of the materials that I use. For example, after doing some research I have decided to try and find sustainably sourced wool, this has mainly been through sourcing wool that would otherwise have gone to waste, and attempting to find wool that limits the use of chemical dyes, which can damage the environment. By making items myself, I have been forced to consider the time and effort that goes into clothing production in general. This has also raised my awareness of the sources of my clothing and made me more selective when buying new clothes, which often come from sources that facilitate exploitation of workers or the environment.
