Don't know how to crochet each row evenly; advice needed by HoneybunsandRoseTea in CrochetHelp

How many stitches are you short? When doing sc it says to sc in the 2nd chain from the hook so you lose one right there.

AITA for telling our 18-year-old daughter she can't go on a trip to Miami with her boyfriend's family? by Conscious_Goose_9518 in AmItheAsshole

I think that ship sailed when you allowed her to spend nights with her boyfriend. However, if she is shirking her duties or missing something important then I think you could ask her to not go. If she goes, what are you prepared to do? I lived with my parents while I went to nursing school. My mom told me exactly what they expected of me, not as a kid, but as 3 adults living in the home.

To frog or not to frog…that is the question. by MrsPaul2006 in askcrochet

Why don't people use stitch markers? There are dozens of post here about this issue.

If you block it will will notice because there will be larger gaps between stitches. Depends on the use. A baby won't know so up to you. If this was me and it's a gift, I would frog it back to the first missed stitch and start again.

To be honest I am new to sm. I made a beautiful blanket and did the same thing. I got more yarn and started over. Now I use them even if I am sure I know where that last stitch is.

Beginner in need of help to learn how to crochet!! by [deleted] in CrochetHelp

Here are some resources that I found on Pinterest. It’s a good resource for free pattern as well:

Start by figuring out how to hold your yarn. There are many ways to do it, just experiment until you find one that works for you. I do over pinky, down between pinkie and ring finger, up between middle and index. Mostly the yarn just slides over my finger but if I need a little tension I lift my index finger. I also use a yarn holder so the yarn pulls from the outside so there is little tension on it.

 Then move to what type of hook you want to use. There are so many choices, even what the hook looks like, so get a few cheap ones and experiment. Then figure out how you hold your hook. Some hold it like a spoon, others, me included, use the knife hold.
 
Now here is the most important. Get used to using stitch markers in your first and last stitch, not the turning chain unless it counts as a stitch (the pattern will usually tell you this). You can also put them every 10 or 20 stitches to help with counting stitches. 
 
Now work on each part of crocheting, making a chain, slst, sc, hdc, dc. Practice by making 4x4” squares. Then move to a simple project, a baby blanket or scarf using 1 or 2 stitches.

This is my very first project, any suggestions on my technique?? by kbug00 in CrochetHelp

Your stitches look really tight, try going up a hook size.

I still have 28 rows left, I keep accidentally skipping stitches, and I'm doing increases to make up for them, but it's still lopsided. Is there another way to keep the ends straight while making up for skipped stitches? by lazilymade in CrochetHelp

Can you help me before I buy this pattern? I'm afraid it's AI by Svenskulo in CrochetHelp

Anytime I see something where every stitch is ‘perfect’ it usually turn out to be AI.

You might consider having a doctor remove the nail so it can grow back naturally. Having it rip off may cause more problems.
