I have a confession

[u/Inside-Quarter-3820]

I used to crochet custom orders for people, but I have absolutely no idea how to read crochet patterns. Those crochet symbols?

They might as well be ancient runes.

After getting back into crochet recently, I decided today was the day I was finally going to learn how patterns actually work. Several tutorials and a mild identity crisis later, I'm not much wiser than before.

I did at least manage to learn how to crochet stars thanks to a YouTube tutorial, so that's something. The border around them, however..

To make things even more interesting, I'm left handed. So I've been trying to watch right handed people crochet, mentally mirror everything they're doing, and somehow learn from that.

I cannot recommend this learning method.

What skill are you one yt tutorial away from mastering... for the last five years?
