Write an article based on this "Develop your crocheting skills before using crochet charts. Refer to written instructions in conjunction with a chart. Read the chart starting from the bottom."
article: Crochet charts are not ideal for first time crocheters. Charts are usually included with complex crochet patterns as a way to clarify the design. They may be highly confusing for someone who is new to crochet for this reason. Before you dive into using crochet charts, develop your knowledge of crochet stitches and techniques as much as possible. Crochet charts are not meant to completely replace written instructions. The chart is a complement to the written instructions. Make sure that you read the instructions for your pattern as well as the chart to determine how to complete your project. Crochet charts are meant to be read from the bottom to the top. Work the rows in the same fashion as you would crochet them: start at one end, work across the row, then go up to the next row and work across that row in the opposite direction as the first row. In other words, you will be working from the bottom to the top of the chart in a zigzag fashion. The only exception to this rule is patterns that need to be worked in the round. For a pattern that is worked in the round, start at the center of the chart and work around in a counterclockwise fashion or as indicated by the chart. Some charts also include numbers and arrows to help you know where to begin crocheting and how to progress. You may see these numbers and/or arrows on the ends of the chart or within the spirals for a pattern that you work in the round.

Write an article based on this "Use the tip of your thumb to press, one at a time, on the tip of your big toe and the tips of your second and third toes. Massage each of your first three toes on both feet from the base of the toes to the tips."
article: If your fingernails are a little too long, pressing these reflexes can be quite uncomfortable, so you can use a pinching motion instead. Be sure to press and squeeze the sides of each toe as well as the front and back.

Write an article based on this "Introduce the story. Be brief. Be confident. Remember to use your hands and face. Make eye contact. Try to end on the biggest laugh. Move on if your audience doesn't laugh."
article:
If you are trying to introduce it into an existing conversation among friends, use a short introductory phrase to begin the story, such as: "You know, that reminds me of a story" or "It's funny you should mention that, just the other day, I was" It's important to get the first laugh as quickly as possible, ideally in the first 30 seconds. Don't worry about setting up an elaborate, detailed scene or mentioning what happened the night before, unless it's full of funny details that get to the point. If you can't tell the story in less than thirty seconds, make sure the first thirty seconds and compelling and entertaining. Don't trail off, don't look away from people and don't stutter. Try to relax and tell the story in a casual tone, like you're telling it to a good friend. Because you have practiced the story beforehand and gotten used to telling the material well, it should be easy to act like a confident storyteller. Well-timed hand movements and facial expressions can really liven up the details of the story and keep your listener engaged. Don't forget to also vary your voice and pause before the punchline. As in all comedy, timing is very important and will contribute to a good telling. Don't be afraid to look your audience in the eye as you delve into the details of the story. Eye contact also indicates you are confident and comfortable in front of your audience. Most listeners will only remember the last part or punchline of a story. If the ending is flat, it will likely ruin the funnier details in the set up. Remember not to laugh yourself. Ideally, you want to leave the audience laughing and wanting more. Desperation, no matter how smoothly it's presented, is never funny. If your story doesn't get the big laugh you were hoping for, shrug it off. Wrap up the story with a smile and say something like: "Well, I guess you had to be there" or "I guess it really can't be translated from the original German". Don't focus on the story if it doesn't go over as well as you had hoped. The best way to recover is to laugh at yourself (even if no one else did) and move on to another topic or subject.
