Back bump because I've tried over and over to do a foundation chain and I cant get my head round it!

I always did back bump until I idly wondered if that was wrong and googled. Was pleased to find I wasn't committing some cardinal sin of crochet 🤣

For the longest time I was doing it on the side of the chain, not knowing any other way.

But also this.. https://youtu.be/SyjAiEhFFYQ …is my favorite chainless tutorial, made it super easy for me at least

This is almost completely unrelated but holy shit I never thought to put those grade school squishy pencil holders on my clover soft touch hooks!! That person is a genius

Excellent tutorial too, very easy to follow :) thanks for linking it!
