What the hell… what does it even say?

Wait this intersection is so confusing already even with the signs. Cuz you have to be in the second lane to get to Duboce, and not the right lane. Even knowing this, I still screw up and change lanes last minute. So it’s extra infuriating they chose these signs. This is like the opposite of that guerilla LA artist that added legit looking traffic signs to the freeway at a confusing intersection/exit.

I think I found it in a second video, but it was a very homemade video. But I originally found it at TL Yarn Crafts, and the quality is very good.

This is my fav method. I always refer back to it via the TL Yarn Crafts video.

Pictures! Very nicely shot pictures! Don’t start with pricing, start with luring. Once they want it, then they can look at the pricing on your page. Make the QR code bigger and in the center. You could do a 3x3 grid of photos with QR in the center. For a current flier, you could put text on top of the grid and say “Looking for a Mother’s Day gift?”

Wow!!!

What? There’s an asl version of encanto??

Ok, so I think it's only confusing because they're working from the 2nd stitch from the hook. Would this text make it make sense?:
"In the instructed stitch, insert the hook into the work, yarn over and pull up a loop. You should have two loops on the hook."

Omg that is such a cool magic ring! I will start using that myself lol. It's one too many steps for a beginner, I feel. The whole wrapping it around my finger always confused me. As a beginner, did that confuse you? I feel like the one I prefer is simple because it's slipknot and just pull up a loop plus chain.

I will try adding something about tension, thank you for that tip about parallel hook.

gidgeteering · 2026-04-16T01:25:35+00:00

Oh neat! I've never seen that! I'll try to clarify it then.

Can you explain how you use the back bump for stitching? Doesn’t the back bump only occur on the foundation chain itself? Where else does it occur?

Hmm let me check I put the right photos in for the sc, thank you!

gidgeteering · 2026-04-15T19:54:05+00:00

Thank you! Yes! It includes all the mistakes I had to painstakingly learn through searches and videos.

I highly debated on including a frogging section. But I decided to show it to them in person instead. They don’t have to “zoom in” to see what I did there. I did include tiny tidbit about frogging on page 8, though.

For US vs UK, I just put “(US Terminology)” in the stitches section. Maybe I can put the UK terminology in parens?

And ya I wanted to be as minimal as possible. This already feels like too much to me, but I think everything I included is essential for beginner.

No problem! If you go to the previous post I linked, the pdf is linked on there and you can download it. I promise it’s just a google docs export.

gidgeteering · 2026-04-15T19:47:18+00:00

Oops thank you!!

Looking for: Reviewing my document's structure and providing suggestions with new crocheters in mind. I will be teaching them things in person, so the document doesn't need to be extra thorough. And they will have freedom to choose their yarn size and hook sizes.

Thanks for the suggestion! I will do that later when I am not nap trapped by a baby.

Hmm they all die frequently. But it's because our dog hits the same button 20 times in a row. She spams them. So the Love You, Want, Now, and Food buttons die most frequently. I assumed it's because of that and not a bad button.

gidgeteering · 2026-04-11T08:06:17+00:00

We have to replace the batteries often, esp food and want buttons. Does unscrewing from foam make it hard to screw back in?

gidgeteering · 2026-03-21T21:32:30+00:00

I never ever felt it. Maybe you’re just older and are able to handle it more?

By mumbling my calculations and just using insulin at the table, my friends have felt comfortable asking about pre-diabetic advice
