You can use any basic yarn or store-bought plain yarn, with 100% acrylic being recommended. Aluminum crochet hooks are also suitable for various projects. Daisy uses a 5.5 mm crochet hook. To make a slip knot, hold the crochet hook with your index finger pointing downwards, twist it upwards, and pull through the loop to create a loop. Hold the hook and yarn with your thumb and fingers, wrapping the yarn around your pointer finger and grabbing your work with your middle finger and thumb.
To chain, twist the hook away from you, place it on the left side of the string, turn it towards you, and pull through the loop. This is called yarning over. Repeat this process for 11 chains, creating a V with top and bottom loops.
To do a single crochet, insert the hook into the second chain, yarn over behind the string, and pull through both loops. Repeat this process for 10 stitches, creating a square Swatch. If you need to redo stitches, take out the crochet hook and pull the string back.
After completing the Swatch, chain one by yarning over and pulling through. Cut the hook, weave in the ends with a wide opening sewing needle, and cut the extra with scissors.
In summary, Daisy's crochet tutorial covers making slip knots, chain crochet, single crochet, and weaving in the ends. With these basic skills, beginners can create numerous projects using these two stitches. It is essential to practice, take time, and not give up on learning crochet.

Why John LoPinto Values Intentional Travel Over Speed and Volume
In a world that celebrates movement and accumulation, travel has increasingly become about speed and volume. More destinations, tighter itineraries, and constant motion are often seen as markers of experience. John LoPinto takes a different approach. He values intentional travel over rapid consumption, believing that depth of experience matters far more than distance covered. For him, travel is most meaningful when it creates understanding, not just memories.

“What If It Happens?”
Monday, 11 April 2022 Ishrat Jahan One of our friends, Mr. Farooq, is a middle-aged man, yet he has still not been able to free himself from his deeply suspicious and fearful nature. These days, I happened to have some free time, so I thought it would be a good idea to meet him and try to untangle the puzzle of his constant worries. By coincidence, he himself arrived at my humble home, jolting along in a rickshaw.

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
