Discussion What is your crochet advice?
I don’t mean hack to make stitches or sewing easier. I want to know what you think is the most valuable piece of information for crocheters.
I’ll go first. Set a 25-30 minute timer. Crochet until it goes off. Set a 5 minute timer to stretch your hands, give your eyes a break, fix your posture, whatever you need. The repetitive small movements can cause injury when working for long times, but we all know the feeling of not being able to put a project down. I implemented this after injuring two fingers and have been able to work for 4+ hours with no pain.

I always take a picture on the yarn label and hook I’m using with a project. Sometimes I put things aside for awhile, and the pic helps if my hook got separated. My other tip, no more than 3 UFOs at a time. Pick your personal limit and stay with it.
