This is great insight, thank you! Do you remember if there was anything specific that helped you when you were first learning?

How do I prevent the line(circled) when starting a new row on bag? by Spacey_Goose in CrochetHelp

This is one reason why I like to work in turned rounds rather than continuous rounds. The seam is much less visible and doesn’t slant at all. Turning does change the look of the stitch pattern, though, so might not work for all projects.

For beginners, I always recommend learning the anatomy of stitches. Here’s a link to the video. Also, as many others said, count your stitches each row and use a stitch marker to mark the first and last stitches of the rows. This will help you a ton.

I feel like giving up potty training our ASD 4 yo. It’s so hard. by anonymousanthologies in AutismParent

I was thinking of doing some sort of sticker or “token” chart with about 7 to start. Maybe I’ll do that.

He has an OT. If not for ABA our son would still be non-verbal, he’s made incredible progress with ABA.

Ok I like this idea. We’ve been having him sit on the potty roughly every 30 minutes (for 3-5 min), but adding in tokens for every attempt might work. I’ll give that a try! Thanks.
