And we’re cooking. It did a little ‘psst’ at the start and I jumped.
“Don’t DO that!”
Yes, pressure cooking makes me nervous but I do want to be able to do it when I want/need to.

Bought a small candle making kit and refilled a memory candle. This is a big thing so me because I’m very afraid of anything hot, old childhood trauma stuff.
But this candle is important to someone I love so I did it anyways. 😎

Oh I really like the reverse stitch. It also doesn’t curl as much. I can see using it at the beginning and end of a scarf.
Next, combo stitches.

Got a book on Tunisian crochet. I’ve been crocheting for most of my life but never tried this technique. I’m enjoying it. Did a sample of the simple stitch. Now in the middle of doing the knit stitch. I can see I’m also going to also enjoy getting hooks that I am comfortable using.

My first row. Love my pretty hook. And the yarn is very soft. Found it easier to hold the hook behind all the loops.
