To crochet left-handed, you will need to hold the hook in your left hand and use your right hand to hold your work. Grip the crochet hook with your left hand so that your thumb and forefinger are gripping the flat part of the hook. . Chaining is how you start your foundation for a crochet project and it is the simplest technique in crocheting. Start by looping the yarn over your index finger twice. Then, pull the second loop through the first loop. This will create a slipstitch. Next, slide this loop on your hook and loop the free end of your yarn over the hook. Pull this new yarn through the loop on the hook to make another loop. Continue to yarn over and pull the yarn through to form loops. This will create a chain. Make the chain as long as it needs to be for your project. Chaining is often abbreviated as "ch." A slipstitch is also sometimes called a joining stitch. To slipstitch, insert the hook through a stitch, and then yarn over. Pull this new yarn through the stitch to complete the slipstitch. A slipstitch may be used to move from one location to another on your yarn, or it may be used to join two stitches together, such as when you are crocheting in the round. . A single crochet stitch is another simple stitch that often comes up in patterns. To single crochet, insert the hook through the stitch, yarn over, and then pull this new yarn through the two stitches on the hook. Then, yarn over again and pull the yarn through the two loops on the hook. A single crochet stitch is usually abbreviated as "sc." . Double crochet stitches are also quite common. To double crochet, yarn over the hook, then insert the hook through the stitch and yarn over again. Then, pull through the first stitch, and yarn over again. Then, pull through the first two stitches and yarn over again. Pull through the last two stitches to complete the stitch. Double crochet is usually abbreviated as "dc." Half double crochet is not as common, but it is important to know for more advanced work. A half-double crochet stitch is done by yarning over and then inserting the hook into the stitch. Then, yarning over again and pulling through three stitches. Then, yarn over again and pull through three stitches again. Half-double crochet is usually abbreviated as "hdc." A triple crochet stitch is also not as common, but it is important to learn. To do a triple crochet stitch, start by yarning over twice. Then, insert the hook into the stitch and yarn over again. Next, pull the yarn through four loops and yarn over again. Then, pull through two loops and yarn over again. Then, pull through two loops again and yarn over one more time. Then, pull through the last two loops to finish the stitch. A triple crochet stitch is usually abbreviated in patterns with "tr." .

Q: People appreciate it when you're clear and concise about asking them out. You can send a text that says something like, "Could I take you to a movie sometime?" You can also call and say something like, "I was wondering if you wanted to see a movie with me." Make a clear plan as well. Suggest a specific day of the week, time, and place to meet up. For example, you could agree to meet around six o'clock at a specific theater downtown on Friday. A movie date is more on the casual side, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't dress well. Opt for something dressy while still being casual. For example, a button-down shirt with jeans works well instead of pairing jeans with a t-shirt. Don't place too much focus on dressing to please your date. If you feel comfortable in your clothes, you're more likely to exude confidence on a first date. The matter of who pays for what on a date can get complicated. Sometimes, people may prefer to split checks on a first date. Therefore, it's a good idea to bring some cash in case a place can't split a check with cards. Get a variety of bills. If you show up only with twenties, splitting checks can get a little tricky. Make sure to have some fives, ones, and tens as well. While you may be inclined to cater to your date's taste, your date may get uncomfortable if they feel they're dragging you to a movie you don't want to see. Figure out a movie you both want to see together. Ask your date about the kind of films they like and pick something that appeals to your taste as well. For example, maybe you both share a similar sense of humor. Consider going to see a comedy.
A: Ask someone out. Pick a good outfit. Get some cash. Decide on the movie together.
