- Meeting with user
- Simos and David going to visit Daniel on Saturday, the 22nd
- Container (Alden & David)
- Plastic container
- Has wheels
- 3 compartments differing in size
- Removable lid
- Working on handles
- Might use plastic bag crocheted strips as handles (durable and flexible)
- Food heating container (Simos, Aravind, & Fathi)
- In the testing period
- Using the heating components from an iron
- We need a more enormous container or more minor heating component
- Obtained almost all necessary parts for the prototype
- Pillow & Blanket (Bri)
- Completed half of the 2nd prototype of the pillow
- It is much more consistent than the first prototype
- They are getting more efficient at crocheting, the larger the pillow, the more time it takes
- Blanket
- Produced several pattern prototypes
- A takes the longest, but they are more skilled at it, and is very tight, warm
- C takes the shortest, but they are still learning this pattern, and it has bigger gaps, less warm
- B is the goldilocks. It is the best of both world, so we will probably proceed with this one
- Not sure if the plastic bags would be actually comfortable as a blanket
- Tested a small patch and it is scratchy
- Thinking of going in another direction
- Looking into cutting up old clothes to make a comfy quilt
- If we do this could maybe add crocheted squares (if time allows)
- Potential additions (time is biggest constraint)
- Stuffed animal
- Might be cute and cuddly and comforting
- Tote bag out of the plastic bags
- More durable, reliable, and fashionable than a typical plastic bag
- A hat
- Warmth
- Stuffed animal
- Produced several pattern prototypes
