TTT is super cool @Phoenix_Rising 🙂 Hearing what you recited gave me the biggest warm fuzzies. Drawing, planking, music, head stands, toys, stories - so amazingly awesome. I very much wish more people worked like this. Thank you for sharing her with us like you do.

I'm sorry the person made such a gigantic oopsy and a choice that hurt you 😞

I'm SO excited thinking you want to learn to crochet (like this is probably the highlight of my day kind of excited)! I was taught through YouTube and if I was doing it again, I would start with learning how to chain stitch. I'd practice the chain stitch until I felt pretty comfortable with the hook and yarn, and my chains were reasonably similarly sized. I found this tutorial here for chain stitch, but there are so many of them if you don't like that one. The only things you'd need would be a hook (probably about 4mm aka size G) and some yarn (not chunky, fluffy, sparkly, overly shiny, or anything fancy because they can be fiddly and slip about a bit). Both of these things you can get from Big W, lots of those $2 kinds of shops, or Spotlight/Lincraft for a couple/few dollars 🙂
