Summarize the following:
If you already know what angle your knife is sharpened at, you'll probably wish to sharpen it at this angle again. Sharpening at a different angle will take significantly more time and may take a few goes before any rough angles are smoothed out. If you don't know the current angle, ask the manufacturer of your knife or inquire at a knowledgeable knife shop to determine what angle is appropriate for your knife. If you have to make a gut decision, choose an angle of 10 - 30 per side. Shallower angles make a sharper edge that doesn't last as long; steeper angles are more durable, so 17 - 20 is a good compromise between the two.

summary: Pick an angle to sharpen your knife.

Gauge refers to amount of crocheted fabric that a specific hook size and yarn type will create. While the gauge is less important if you have an unending supply of yarn and aren't worried about the size of your completed project, most of the time you need to be aware of the size of your crochet stitches. To check your gauge, crochet a swatch approximately 4 inches (10.2cm) by 4 inches in the stitch pattern listed in the crochet instructions. If your gauge is larger than the gauge indicated in the pattern, try a smaller hook. If your gauge is smaller, try a larger hook. These are usually listed before the actual pattern begins. You can look for tutorials on the Internet for any stitches you may be unfamiliar with. The basic stitch types include: chain slip stich single crochet half double crochet double crochet triple crochet Some crochet patterns list a key with abbreviations and their terms. Some patterns assume that you know what the abbreviations stand for. Some of the most common abbreviations include: ch=chain sl st=slip stitch sc=single crochet hdc=half double crochet dc=double crochet tc=triple crochet inc=increase dec=decrease turn=turn your project over and start crocheting in the opposite direction join=connect two stitches together rep=repeat It is common to encounter asterisks (*) in crochet patterns, so you need to know what they mean. Asterisks indicate that the steps provided need to be repeated in order until you reach the end of the row. For example, if you encounter instructions for a row that read: "Hdc in next 6 sts; *dc 2, sl st, dc in next st; rep from * to end," then you will know that the instructions that follow the asterisk need to be repeated in order until you get to the end of the row.

summary: Check your gauge. Identify any special terms or stitches that are used by this pattern. Interpret all the abbreviations that are given in the pattern. Repeat steps when you encounter an asterisk.

Pour 4 parts of water into a saucepan on your stove and set the burner on high. As the water warms, add in 1 part of white sugar. Bring the water to a low boil, and let it boil for 23 minutes so the water and sugar blend. Then, let the water cool for 30 minutes, and pour it into your feeder. The size of the carafe varies from one hummingbird feeder to another. Only make enough nectar to fill the carafe of your feeder(s). If you make extra, you can store it in the refrigerator. The nectar will only keep for about 1 week, though. Never use honey or artificial sweeteners in your nectar, and never give hummingbirds commercial foods that contain red dye. Due to the high sugar content of the nectar, the feeders get dirty quickly. To clean them, mix white vinegar and warm water at a ratio of 1:4. Dump out the old, dirty water, and pour in about 12 litre (0.13USgal) of the vinegar solution. Place the lid back on the feeder and shake it vigorously to clean out the feeder. If the inside of the feeder is especially dirty, drop 1220 grains of rice in along with the vinegar mixture. The rice will scrape stains or moldy patches out from the carafe. Once it's clean, rinse the feeder out 23 times with warm water to remove all traces of the vinegar mixture. If any vinegar is left inside, birds will stop drinking from the feeder. Then, refill the feeder with another batch of sugar water for the birds to eat. Hang the feeder again, and watch as more of the beautiful birds come by to drink! Ants are a problem for all hummingbird feeders, but get especially bad with suction-cup feeders, since ants have easy access to them. Prevent ants from accessing your feeders by filling up the feeders' ant moat with water. The ant moat is a 34in (7.610.2cm) wide trough that goes around the feeder. When ants attempt to get to the sweet nectar, they'll fall and drown in the moat. At least once a week, scoop the ant bodies out of the ant moat and dispose of them. Most saucer and J-hook feeders have ant moats. Suction-cup feeders often don't, since the moat would be unable to wrap all the way around the feeder. If you're concerned about ants and wasps getting into the nectar and bothering the hummingbirds, purchase a bee guard that can be attached to the feeder. Most hardware stores sell bee guards. Never fill the moat with oil. Small birds will drink from the moat from time to time, and the oil could harm them. If you don't take preventative steps, you'll soon find that your feeder is full of drowned ants and that the birds are no longer drinking from it.
summary: Fill the hummingbird feeder with nectar made from sugar and water. Clean the feeder with vinegar and warm water once a week. Rinse the carafe with warm water and refill the feeder. Keep ants away by filling the feeder's ant moat with water.
