CROCHETING FOREVER
A magic ring or a magic circle is a technique to begin crocheting by passing the first through a loop next to it and then pulling the knot tight. A lot of the older patterns used tend to end up with a hole in the center of the round that you may have created. The stitches could be loosened due to the hole in the middle. This makes your work look really untidy and unprofessional.

Gatekeeping and Fiber Arts
I recently came across a link to a TikTok video where a gal had captioned it along the lines of, “I learned to knit by watching someone play with ramen.” She had dueted a video where someone was illustrating a cast-on with chopsticks and their ramen. To imitate it, she grabbed some pencils and yarn she had and followed it step by step and was successful in casting on from watching someone do it with ramen! However, the comments were seriously disheartening.
