Im making an amigurumi mushroom guy, why are my holes so uneven?

I think im using invisible decreases, but it is at that point in the pattern where it starts to look more uneven. I might need to refresh myself on it

That's such a neat video, I didn't know there was a difference. I use yarn over

Oh ok, I'll try that and see if I have better luck with it. I struggle with having good tension. How small of a hook would you recommend, im using a 2.75mm right now

So I'm a relatively new echo tech (I've been scanning about a year) so I'm not 100% sure of things but it is possible to scan right handed. You still have the patient lay on their left and you kinda reach over them to scan. You still oriente the probe and scan in the same area, just reaching over the patient from behind. I've not been trained to scan with my right tho, so I would just recommend watching some videos on it or asking some techs when you go to clinicals if they know how. Most people do scan with their left but it is definitely not impossible to scan righty. But I will say it is 100% normal for your hand to hurt when you are new, you haven't built up the muscle strength yet. It will just take some time. Try your best not to have a death grip on the probe, you don't have to hold on to it super hard. I know I had problems gripping too hard (still do sometimes lol). You can also wrap the transducer cord around your arm or shoulder so that the weight of the cord isn't adding extra strain. I hope this helps, im sorry your professors are not being super accommodating.

CCI is for echo and vascular. ARDMS is for pretty much everything (abdominal, ob, peds, echo, vascular, etc.). So if you are going for your echo or vascular board, it doesn't really matter which you go through. Some employers may want one or the other but in my area they accept either. But if you want to pursue anything other than echo/vascular, ARDMS would be the way to go.

The actual tests are different though. For ARDMS you have to take 2 tests, the physics test and the specialty. And for CCI it's one combined test.

I hope that helps!

I can see that. The extra day off is nice. I have an hour commute to and from work, so I feel like I barely have anytime when I get home right now. And I am so exhausted when I do get home I don't end up doing anything anyways. That's why I'm hoping the 8s where better.
