INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To make amends with your loved one, try to be honest about your actions in the rift between the two of you. Tell your loved one exactly what you are sorry about and how much you want to move past these past mistakes in order to make amends. This may be hard for you to do since each of you were hurt enough to be kept apart for so long. For example, you might express regret about certain things that you said to your loved one or for cutting him or her out of your life. Try saying something like, "I am sorry for cutting off communication with you for so many years. I regret doing that because we lost valuable time. I hope that you can forgive me for that mistake." Once you are honest about why you want to make amends, you can try to come up with a way to make these amends. Even if your loved one was a major part of why there was a rift between you two, try to focus on your part in the rift and allow your loved one to express any regrets that he or she has on his or her own. Try to figure out the best way make up for anything you did to hurt your loved one and start your relationship anew. For example, you might make up for lost time by spending an afternoon with your loved one every week, or by calling daily. When you are making amends with your loved one, both of you may have lingering hurt feelings. Try to listen to what your loved one tells you about how he or she feels. This will help you to make amends with your loved one and make you feel better. However, keep in mind that this may be hard to do as your loved one recounts what happened between the two of you. As you listen to your loved one, make sure that you make eye contact (if you are talking in person) and make neutral statements to show you are paying attention, such as "Uh-huh," "I see," and "Go on." You can also show that you are paying close attention and ensure that you are on the same page by paraphrasing what your loved one says now and then and asking for clarification. Try saying something like, "So I think what you're saying is that you felt disappointed. Is that what you mean?" You can show interest in what your loved one says and try to get more information by asking leading or probing questions. A leading question prompts the speaker to elaborate whereas a closed question does not. For example, you would just get a yes or no answer by asking, "Did that make you feel sad?" Instead, you could ask, "How did that make you feel?" This question is more likely to get your loved one to keep talking. When you first start talking to your loved one, he or she may not be ready to talk. As much as you might want to make amends with your loved one, try let him or her take the lead at first. Try not to push your loved one too far at first in case this scares your loved one away from the possibility of reconnecting and amending your relationship. If your loved one keeps trying to change the subject away from past wrongs, try not to push him or her to talk about these things. Your loved one may just need to work up to it. Allow your loved one to direct the conversation for a while and then return to the subject later. For example, you might reintroduce the topic by saying something like, "I was hoping we could talk about ____. I know it might not be something you want to talk about right now, but I would like us to talk about it soon. Do you think that would be possible?" When your loved one is dying, he or she will likely be going through a range of emotions. On top of trying to make amends with you, your loved one is also working through his or her fears about death. This might make it difficult to pinpoint how your loved one is feeling in relation to you and your past troubles. If you can, you may be able to help your loved one work through these other feelings as well as you move towards making amends. When you are trying to make amends with your loved one, you should expect your loved one to be angry. This anger may be directed towards you or about dying. If you are serious about making amends, then try to keep in mind that you may encounter some anger along the way. After your loved one has expressed his or her anger, you can start moving towards amending your relationship. If your loved one gets angry at you, try saying something like, "I can see that you are angry and that is okay. What are you feeling angry about right now?"

SUMMARY: Admit your mistakes. Try to make it up to your loved one. Listen carefully. Give yourselves time to get there. Be open to any reaction. Expect anger from your loved one.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: To start your third row, chain 1 and then double crochet into the first double crochet stitch in your row. Next work a V-stitch into the first V-stitch space that you created in the previous row. This is the area between the 2 double crochet stitches that you worked into the same stitch. Work 2 double crochet stitches into the V-stitch space to create another V-stitch. After you complete the V-stitch, start the sequence over by double crocheting 1 time into the next double crochet stitch in the row. Then, do another V-stitch into the next V-stitch space. Continue this pattern for the entire round. When you get to the end of the round, connect the ends of the round with a slipstitch. Insert your hook into the top of the first stitch in the round, yarn over and then pull the yarn through both stitches. This will complete your second round. To continue working on the skirt, keep repeating the second round. Alternate between double crocheting 1 stitch and making a V-stitch for the next round and every round after that. Keep going until the skirt is the length you want it to be. When your skirt is the desired length and you have completed your last round, tie off the last stitch. Then, cut the excess yarn a few inches away from the last stitch. To avoid having any hanging pieces of yarn on your dress, you can either trim the loose pieces to about 0.5 inches (1.3cm) from the last stitch, or use a yarn needle to weave them into the inside of your dress. To weave in the ends, thread the loose end through a yarn needle, and then weave the needle in and out of the stitches inside of the dress to hide it. Tie off the yarn and cut the excess to 0.5 inches (1.3cm) when it gets to be too short to weave any further.

SUMMARY: Double crochet into first double crochet stitch. Work a V-stitch into each V space. Repeat the sequence all the way around. Connect the round with a slipstitch. Repeat the round until the skirt is the desired length. Tie off and cut the yarn. Trim or weave in any loose ends.
