![Tap the link in my bio for more info -> @oombawkadesigncrochet Make this afghan square as part of our You've Got Options Crochet Along with #CALCentralCrochet ♥ This square can be made as a 6 or 12 inch block. ♥ I have named this square Perfect Balance for a number of reasons, one being it is a square and the rounds increase in a very balanced manner. ♥ The second reason is because for the first time in more years than I can remember, I am perfectly balanced emotionally. I have suffered from depression and anxiety since I was in my late teens and although my meds seemed to be working during the spring and summer, once Autumn hit I would always begin to fall into a deeper and darker place. ♥ Last year was the lowest point I’d ever hit and I finally went to see my doctor. She put me on a higher dose of my meds and within a few weeks I felt amazing. ♥ Like a switch had been turned on and the darkness had been banished to the very edges of the room. ♥ I could finally remember how to be happy within my own self. I was no longer screaming on the inside (for no outward reason at all) or sleeping all of the time. ♥ I was nervous as we approached Autumn this year because it is usually when the SAD starts to worsen my symptoms and my mood. ♥ This year I was ready and I hooked up my SAD light and placed it right beside me in the living room (I can’t look straight into it because it really hurts my eyes). I work with that light on all day long, as a desk lamp. It has made a big difference to me as I can feel the warmth of the light (I miss the sunshine so much in the winter!) and the brightness seems to really help my mental state. ♥ This square is my Perfect Balance Square, to celebrate my own journey to where I am today. ♥ This square is easy to crochet and beginner friendly. If you are using a single color, you need only 55 g of medium weight yarn [4], so just over 102 yards. ♥ I wish you all a wonderful 2020 filled with peace and balance. ♥ Rhondda xo](https://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
Very welcome Marsha! I’m so happy it was helpful! All the best, Rhondda
I will leave a new post, only becausr I dont see my old post. I love this cheat sheet because it taught me how to read crochet graphs. I could read a regular pattern but not graphs. This was my miracle site. Thank you.
Hi Betsy, Thank you for mentioning this! I honestly thought they did have titles when you put the mouse over but they don’t! That is very confusing. They are supposed to have the title there and a link to take you to the post that the video is for on my blog. I will let the company that hosts the videos know so maybe they can fix it for me. Thank you so much for letting me know!! Rhondda
It would be helpful if the videos had a text title to show which stitch is being demonstrated. I like your teaching a lot. Thank you!
Thank you for the cheat sheets. They are so helpful!
Hi Anna Marie, I’m very sorry to hear about your great nephew and his diagnosis. I pray the treatment he receives is successful very quickly!
I have never personally taught anyone to crochet who is left-handed. I asked Marie about this and she wrote a guest post last year to give me some tips: https://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/2016/06/teach-lefty-crochet-righty.html
Kathy from ELK Studio Handcrafted Designs is a Left-Handed Designer so she may have some ideas on how she learned how to crochet – I know she has a course available from Annie’s here: https://oombawkadesigncrochet.com/2016/08/30603.html If you are familiar with video editing at all there is a setting on Adobe that lets you flip the video you record and it appears as though you are crocheting with your left hand rather than your right. I often think it might be easiest to teach by doing a live feed and flipping it to the reverse view if they cannot transfer the actions to the left view in their heads. I’ve tried to crochet left handed to get ready to teach a friend (just in case) and it is not easy to do. I can awkwardly manage a lot of the stitches but I cannot manage the starting chain row or working into the starting chain row. My son is left-handed too and he has been asking me to teach him and I am concerned I may not be able to show him properly myself. I wish I could be more help! Wishing you the best, Rhondda
Hi Rhondda,
I am having a fundraiser at my house at the beginning of December for my great nephew that is 2 years old that just got cancer in August. I will teach anyone who wants to learn, the basics of crocheting. I was wanting to know if you had any information on the best way to teach a left handed person to knit and/or crochet and any other information that might be helpful. I really do appreciate it. Thank you very much.
Hi Beverly you left this comment on my Crochet Cheat Sheet Post so I do not know what blanket you are asking about. Can you please leave me the question on the post you are asking about so I can help you 🙂 Thank you, Rhondda
I would like to crochet this for my husband. I would, however, like to make it larger (48 X 60). In order to do this, what multiple would I use for the width?
Hi Silvia, Some crocheters use tc as the abbreviation for treble crochet – tc and tr are the same stitch – the treble crochet stitch. Some people also refer to it as triple crochet stitch. This is why I included both. It seems to depend on where you are from which one you use. The ‘standard’ is tr for treble. Hope this helps! Rhondda
Dear Rhondda,
First of all, thank you for your great Tips, patterns and all! I am learning a lot with you!
May be there is a little mistake in the chart above. Crochet cheAt sheet. TrebLe crochet (tc) on the color chart the same stItch Is named as (tr). Which one is the correct abreviation?
Thank you for your kind Attention.
Kind regards.
