At the second crochet workshop, I ended up completing my first row of stitches for the scarf. I was really proud of being able to follow the video and instructions. I did notice some places where I felt like the stitches could look more uniform and consistent. There’s always room to improve and I hope I can spend the summer strengthening my skill. As a pre-dental student I am always looking for fun ways that I can strengthen my manual dexterity. I love that with manual dexterity can be improved in so many ways— not just practicing shaping teeth or suturing. One of the reasons I love dentistry is being able to be creative and productive with your hands so I hope that crocheting can help me practice that before I actually get to dental school!
