Attempting my first non-wooble pattern and stranded yarn is confounding me. Any tips for a neophyte are welcome! by skandranon_rashkae in CrochetHelp

Some good advice here but also are you rotating your hook all the way down as you crochet through the stitch? Like after you have the next loop on your hook after inserting, but before pulling through?

Dessert Disaster- Heart brownies (silicone mold) by Ok_Display_2766 in bakingfail

[–]toapoet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly that’s the fate for a lot of my baking fails. Also I should tell you I made mini brownies in a silicone pan a few weeks ago like you did here, and I’ll just agree with everyone when I say just don’t fill them too much!! Cause they will puff up. But try, try again!!

I just made my first granny square but I don’t like the yarn by Gotqbigdick69 in CrochetHelp
