Crochet Tutorial - muetzekatze Learns to Crochet

hi everyone,
after posting tons of YouTube videos with patterns for crochet beginners a few days ago over in the thread
Crochet for Beginners
https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/forum/topic/60/haekeln-fuer-einsteiger
I’ve gotten a “taste” for it myself.

Knitting isn’t really my thing, because I always get tangled up with the two knitting needles, so I’m giving crochet a try instead :)

So I went to the local yarn shop and told the friendly lady there that I’m a crochet beginner. Now I’m the proud owner of a size 4 crochet hook, and I also got some lovely bright blue yarn to go with it. It’s yarn from Cotton Universal, 100 percent cotton.
Conditioned - whatever that’s supposed to mean, does anyone happen to know?
85m/50 g. The ball band also specifically says that the yarn is suitable for hook sizes 4-5.
so, the bright blue is a little darker than Smurf-hat blue, but I love it :)
The yarn is also wonderfully soft. But the beginning of the ball is getting a bit frayed by now, because I crochet, unravel it again, start over, and unravel it again. Even the best yarn probably can’t take that forever. :)
Well, I’ll probably just cut off the beginning soon so I can keep going with “fresh” yarn. But as long as my stitches are so uneven, I’d rather keep unraveling it than keep it.

Tell me, do you think two euros (1.99 euros) for a ball of yarn is expensive?
If you knit or crochet yourself a wool sweater, it isn’t necessarily cheaper than a store-bought one. But you don’t necessarily crochet or knit yourself to save money, but because it’s fun. :)

The friendly lady from the shop said I should start with a potholder and practice my crochet skills on that. But I’m really not interested in potholders at all.
I’d rather crochet a keychain in the shape of a cat, but until I can manage that, I still have to practice a whole lot. Typical beginner - not wanting to bother with the basics and wanting to jump straight into the more ambitious projects. No, I do know that I have to practice first before the crocheted little cat keychain can turn into anything.
That’s why I’m watching these videos on YouTube all the time.
so, these are the ones I mean:
*CROCHET COURSE* Part 1 -foundation chain, single crochet-
http://youtu.be/M4gB650Qv60
*CROCHET COURSE* Part 2 -double crochet-
http://youtu.be/b7t1yAUQuWY
*CROCHET COURSE* Part 3 -increasing stitches in rows-
http://youtu.be/zUuj-f_bhzE
*CROCHET COURSE* Part 4 -decreasing stitches in rows-
http://youtu.be/yxrfu3Zb4do
*CROCHET COURSE* Part 5 -crocheting in the round (in spirals)-
http://youtu.be/WRagsMiAFiQ

and I’m trying very bravely to keep up with them. :)

So over the past few days I’ve practiced chain stitches and turning chains, and then a few rows of single crochet. But right now it’s like this: my stitches are either too tight or too loose. If they’re too tight, it’s hard to insert the hook and pull the yarn through in the next row, of course; if the stitches are too loose, it doesn’t work that well either. It looks pretty uneven.

I also have a question; maybe one of the ladies who already has a lot of experience with crochet would like to answer it for me?

When I insert the crochet hook through the stitch to pull the yarn through, I always automatically try to go under the yarn from the right with the crochet hook, then catch the yarn with the little hook at the tip of the crochet hook and bring it over.
It does work, but somehow it doesn’t look particularly good, and when you do the next row, it’s hard to get through there again.

Then I alternatively tried going under the yarn from the left with the crochet hook and catching the yarn in the hook so I can pull it through, and that works better and also looks prettier.
I really have to remind myself that I have to go under the yarn from the left and not sometimes go under it from the right in the middle and then from the left again. Otherwise it looks crooked. I don’t know where I got this habit of always wanting to go under it from the right.

Does anyone know about this?
so, I’m right-handed, hold the crochet hook in my right hand, and with my left hand I hold the yarn and the crocheted piece.

Is there actually a trick for letting the yarn run nice and loosely from the left hand? I wrapped it exactly like in the video and also skipped hand cream, but somehow I haven’t quite got the hang of it yet. Either I have too much yarn at once or too little.

and I have one more question:
when I’ve made my chain stitches and then the turning chain, which isn’t really that necessary at the moment anyway because I’m not counting stitches - I’m just practicing right now.
So when I then start the first row of single crochet, “crocheting onto it” is still fairly easy.
But with the second row it somehow isn’t that easy anymore. I never know whether I have to put the crochet hook under both top strands, or only under the outer one (facing away from me). I’m not that familiar with the technical terms from crochet yet, but maybe someone can make sense of my description?
in any case, I tried both; I’ll have to watch the video again.
I’ve never gotten any further than one row of chain stitches and 1-2 rows of single crochet.

I’d be happy if someone would like to say something about it.

best wishes for now
muetzekatze

Oh, and I forgot to mention:
the lady at the store said that if things don’t go so well sometimes, you just have to be patient and keep trying.
Too bad they don’t sell patience in bulk at the store — you can never have enough of it. ;)
Well, I’m sticking with it anyway.
After all, I have a goal: a kitten keychain. I like attaching lots of keychains to my key ring, because then it’s easier to find when it’s ended up at the very bottom of my bag again.

I just called this thread “Crochet Tutorial,” even though it’s not really a tutorial, but more of a “beginner learning to crochet” report.

Are there actually any other beginners here besides me? I kind of get the feeling that you all already do this really well and I’m the only one who doesn’t.
It’s just that I haven’t crocheted at all in ages, and nothing comes from nothing.
Oh well. I’m just trying and seeing how far I get.
If there really is another beginner who’d like to learn and practice crocheting together with me, I’d think that was great :)

Best regards
muetzekatze

everyone started and learned at some point.

So you’re not the only one learning!

you mustn’t go under from the right in the middle and then from the left again
I know a woman who has this problem too. The only thing that helps is practice, and more practice! Then it will automatically come out right!

whether I need to insert the crochet hook under both top loops, or only under the outer one
If it isn’t specifically stated, you should insert the hook under both top loops.

kitty keychain
I’m currently making a pattern for how to crochet a kitty appliqué )))

 

Hi Elena,
thanks for your encouraging words—that’s so sweet :)

As for the whole right-left thing:
you crochet single crochet from right to left, and when I have to go under the yarn from left to right to pick it up and then go through under the single crochet stitch, it confuses me. But hopefully, with time and more practice, it’ll just come naturally.

Okay, so I’ll always go through both top loops. Since I’m making my single crochet stitches too tight right now, that’s always a bit tricky. I need to practice that too.

A kitten appliqué? With sequins? Or with beads? :)
I’d love to take a look :)
Is it comparable in size to your butterfly?
 

Wow, you’re on a roll :)

When will we get to see photos of your projects?

So here’s the update from the pot holder crochet front
@sundown
I’m not going crazy, I just crochet now and then :)

Photos
No, I don’t think I really need to post my failed pot holder attempts online here.
I’ll practice a bit more first, then I’ll do that sometime.

At least I managed to get past the second row of single crochet without ripping everything out again, because I figured that wouldn’t get me anywhere either. So I just kept adding row after row of single crochet, and they actually became a bit more even. Then I crocheted around the outside of the piece a few times in the round, and that worked quite well too. I think it gives the piece a nicer edge than just doing rows.
But after about half an hour or so, my hands somehow got tired. Crocheting isn’t "automatic" for me yet, so I still have to concentrate on it. And then the stitches became irregular again, and I could hardly get through the crocheted piece anymore.
Now I’ve got something that looks like a pot holder, except it’s somehow narrower in the middle than at the top and bottom.
I must have somehow lost a few stitches, so I crocheted a few new ones onto it.

Then I also tried crocheting in the round, so just making a few chain stitches and then inserting the hook back into the first chain stitch on the left, instead of turning the work and crocheting from right to left. That’s not going so well yet at the moment, because of course I made the stitches too tight again.

But I’m sticking with it.
After all, I still want to finish my kitten keychain someday :)

Hi everyone
I took pictures of my two potholders and wanted to upload them here.
Unfortunately, I can’t upload them because I only have them as files and not as links.

But I was able to upload one of them as my avatar.
That’s potholder number one, about 10 x 9 cm.
Potholder number two is about twice as long. I also had a photo of it, taken on lined paper for size comparison. But it’s not the end of the world if I can’t upload it. :)

At first, I always unraveled everything I crocheted because it didn’t turn out very nicely. But now I’ve kept a few of the things I made so I can see my progress.

I’ve been doing this since last Tuesday, and before that I hadn’t done any crocheting for many years.
I just need to be more patient :)
 

Hi Muetzekatze
your blue really is darker than Smurf blue
http://fotogalerie.herr-der-ringe-film.de/data/6675/schlumpf.jpg
but I still like it :)

Starting out is always hard. You have to take your time; crocheting requires patience and calm,
and you also have to be “in the mood” for it. It’ll work out just fine. So are you going to keep working on the pot holders now?

Encouraging regards from Clara

Hi Clara
thanks for your encouraging words :)

I just tried an experiment.
I still had some leftover yarn that isn’t cotton, but polyacrylic microfiber.
It somehow glides through my hand much better, which keeps my stitches from getting so tight, so it’s not as hard to work into them, and the rows come out reasonably even in width.
And because it worked so well, I used the video above, Part 2, and made double crochets—first half double crochets and then double crochets.
So, just for practice, I started with chain stitches, a row of single crochets, a row of half double crochets, and then lots of rows of double crochets. And with the microfiber yarn, it works really well.
The double crochets are going well too, and the yarn over is actually fun. :)

I wouldn’t have thought that switching from cotton to microfiber polyacrylic would make such a difference, but I have been practicing for a few days now too. So maybe it’s both. :)
 

hi everyone
I’ve made progress!
Now I can do not only half double crochet, double crochet, but also post double crochet.
I’m really quite proud of myself, considering that I only started again a week ago after decades of crochet abstinence. :)
I also saw that the Operator linked my so-called crochet tutorial on Facebook. Even if it isn’t a crochet tutorial, but just muetzekatze learning to crochet, I still think it’s nice. thanks :)

I bought more yarn today, and now I also have knitting needles for circular knitting.
I’ll have to take my time with that, learning to knit. First a little more crochet.

Yesterday I watched a few videos on YouTube and crocheted along.

What I learned
among other things, for finishing socks
crab stitches
http://youtu.be/CbNVpquy90g
a bit more about crab stitches
http://youtu.be/j6te5KPjwzc
in case anyone is interested :)

and I crocheted along with this
Crocheting a baby blanket/sofa blanket, bobble pattern
Double crochet and post double crochet :)
http://youtu.be/xSMyRLQ1g08
but I like doing double crochet best
I think post double crochet looks really good, though
the video also explains color changes and things like that.

I’m going to try this today or tomorrow
Tunisian Crochet - alternating 1 knit row, 1 purl row
http://youtu.be/HfnLDQcQnUI

I’m in the process of setting up a Picasa account so I can show photos.
Because by now I can crochet much better compared with what the avatar picture shows.
When I changed yarn and finally got past the second row, and when I discovered double crochet,
my “block” suddenly disappeared, and since then it’s been going much better with keeping the stitches and edges even, etc.

what are you all crocheting at the moment?
I’d be happy if more crochet beginners joined in here
that would be really nice
it’s so much more fun together.

best wishes for now
muetzekatze

Hi muetzekatze,
thanks for the link to the Tunisian crochet video—I hadn’t heard of that before.
I learned to crochet “offline” back then, but when you think about it, learning to crochet with YouTube videos isn’t such a bad idea. You can watch the videos over and over, pause them, and “rewind” them until you get the hang of it and can do it yourself.
Of course, that assumes the videos are good quality, but the ones you, muetzekatze, linked above are totally fine.

So is your next project a blanket? The textured pattern in the video above looks nice—that mix of double crochets and post double crochets—even though the color scheme isn’t really my thing. But that’s a matter of taste. :)

I’ve been thinking about making a generously sized summer shawl for cool evenings next, or maybe even a poncho.
We’ll see :)

I hope you, muetzekatze, continue to have lots of fun crocheting. :)

 

Hi Clara
I think the videos are really great, too. No real person would have that much patience to explain it over and over again. Well, okay, there might be exceptions.

A blanket would be nice, yeah. I might make one someday.
Right now, I’m back in a “crochet-and-unravel” phase. So, I’m just practicing making the stitches nice and even and all that. And especially the edges. To me, that’s just the prerequisite for everything else—that the basics are right—and that needs to be solid before I venture into bigger projects, like the blanket.

Right now, I’m often crocheting with two thin strands at the same time, which I treat as if they were one strand.
That’s because I still have plenty of these thinner threads at home from weaving, and they’re obviously too fine for a size 4 crochet hook. So I use two at once.

For the summer scarf/poncho
are you using one of the patterns from the shop, or are you doing it freehand?

Finished with the crochet tutorial already?
You haven’t given up, have you?

No, no :)
I haven’t given up.
It’s just that there are days when I can’t quite find the peace and quiet to crochet,
but that’ll pass.
This yellow and light-purple yarn I’ve got right now—I’ll never buy it again. It’s really not that good for crocheting. It just doesn’t feel very nice.
I was thinking of making a sort of scarf-blanket out of it and putting it on the windowsill. The cats like sitting there and looking out the window. I’m not sure, though, whether they’ll like this yarn for sitting on.
Oh well, you learn by trial and error.
 

The scarf thing is wide enough to put on the windowsill in winter. And it’s long enough that you can lay it there doubled over, too. But I’ve really given up on the squeaky yarn now—toward the end, it somehow made me itch all over, and my hands felt really weird because of it. That wasn’t a good yarn purchase.

Oh—this all sounds kind of familiar to me. I’m a total beginner too... OK—with the rather blunt hook tips, there hasn’t been any blood so far. Thank goodness.  My first
attempt (a mouse as a cat toy) was with plain old sock yarn and a size 3.0 hook.
With the mice, I was always working in the round—single crochet and slip stitches, with increases and decreases. To my own surprise, it actually worked, and next I ventured to make a hat—again, single crochet in rounds.
Yesterday I downloaded a pattern—these BabyChucks (they’ve fascinated me for quite a while)—and started on them using double crochet. Let’s see how it turns out. I still find it takes a lot of getting used to working with just a single hook instead of 2 or 5. I’ll certainly never give up knitting—but every now and then, crocheting is definitely fun—even if those baby shoes drove me crazy yesterday. Now I know what you mean by the “crochet-and-unravel phase” :)

Double crochet is great.
I’m not a big fan of single crochet because you make such slow progress and because the finished piece ends up being relatively tight.
That’s a good thing for crocheted animals, but not so much for crocheted scarves.

I’ve since learned and practiced Tunisian crochet using YouTube videos, and I’ve also learned and practiced the shell stitch.
It’s going great.

I also have plenty of new yarn now, and it’s good quality. No more 100 percent scratchy polyester stuff.
It’s no fun when that stuff starts to itch after you’ve been working with it for a while.
It’s just a whole different experience when you have good cotton yarn that glides loosely and easily through your fingers.

The “crochet and unravel” phase is nice for practice, but I’d really like to get to the point soon where I can crochet something I can actually keep—or that I actually like.

That’s why I’m going to practice diligently using all those YouTube videos. Summer won’t last forever, and eventually it’ll get cool, and then I’ll need a scarf :) I’m finding the videos from Redaktion Hug on YouTube pretty good for learning right now.

I’ve also bought some brown, gray, and blue-gray yarn so I can crochet some cute little kittens—I found a pattern for little kittens ages ago, and I’d really like to try it out now; kittens in bright, flashy colors just aren’t my thing.

I haven’t quite got the hang of increasing and decreasing stitches yet, but I’m sure there’s a video for that on YouTube, too.
I do know how to do slip stitches now, though—also learned that on YouTube.
You can probably tell: without YouTube videos, my crocheting wouldn’t have gone anywhere.

But when it’s as hot as it’s been the past few days, I really don’t feel like messing around with yarn. It’s cooled off here since yesterday thanks to the rain. But it’s supposed to get warm again this weekend—I really don’t like it when it’s well over 30 degrees.

Those baby Chucks look really great :) Have you made any progress on them yet?

I tried making a hat using one of the videos from Redaktion Hug.
Starting from a magic ring, you work outward using double crochets, chains, single crochets, etc.
It was actually meant to be a summer hat.
Counting the stitches is definitely “tricky,” but nobody’s a master overnight.
Of course, I’ve unraveled and restarted several times, but YouTube videos are patient—
you can play them as often as you like.
I just have to keep practicing; there’s no way around it :)

Hi muetzekatze
I even went on YouTube just to watch those videos by Redaktion Hug. Do you actually know that lady personally?
Have you crocheted anything yet that you want to keep, or made any progress on the hat?
I just asked in the other thread over there for patterns for crocheted “baby shoes” in adult sizes. That might be something for you too, since you’re already planning for winter anyway? :)
We could start a shoe-crocheting project together. It would definitely be fun, and maybe others would join in too?

hello again here in the thread
I thought this thread had disappeared into oblivion ages ago
I think it’s really great that Sidney reminded me of it again.
@Sundown
no, I don’t know the lady from Redaktion Hug personally.
well, in winter I crocheted myself that scarf from ribbon yarn, and I actually kept it and didn’t unravel it again.
That was this—at least in my opinion—pretty expensive ribbon yarn for 5 euros per skein, and then it was only 29 m per skein, too.
from the drugstore M*ller. But this ribbon yarn was excellent quality.

Then I found some more ribbon yarn at the one-euro shop around the corner here, and with that I started crocheting a small blanket. With the thick ribbon yarn and a large crochet hook, it goes pretty quickly. I think I had about 16 skeins of it, but since this ribbon yarn just doesn’t have that many meters, I didn’t get very far with it. When I wanted more, unfortunately they no longer had the ribbon yarn. It was a polyester blend, but very pleasant and also great to handle for a blanket. You can wash it too; I’ve already tried that. I did all kinds of experiments with this ribbon yarn.

For example, I wanted to make a hat, but somehow I messed up the increases starting from the magic ring and the whole thing kept getting bigger and bigger. I just kept crocheting, because that day I somehow thought it was pretty cool just to sit there, drink tea, listen to music, and practice all the crochet techniques. It turned into kind of a big hat sack. The cat then used it for sleeping. I actually wanted to unravel it again and make something sensible out of it, but since the cat was having so much fun with it, I didn’t want to take it away from her anymore. From the skeins that were left over, after lots of trying things out, crocheting, and unraveling, I started the small blanket mentioned above. It’s really amazing how little distance you get with one skein of ribbon yarn. I tried to stretch it by experimenting, so I simply checked whether I could get any farther with single crochet, double crochet, treble crochet, or half double crochet, but somehow none of it lasted that long. The yarn was used up pretty soon, and the people in the shop said they would get it back in and I should just come back, but then somehow they never got any more. Well, I’ll have to stop by again sometime; maybe they did get some more after all.

Other than that, I’ve been letting learning new crochet techniques slide a bit lately; I just like doing double crochet best, without it necessarily having to lead anywhere, just because I enjoy doing it so much. I’m always planning to get myself a few great patterns from the shop—there are certainly enough of them—and then actually work through them step by step, so that in the end something presentable comes out, a nice amigurumi for example. So I also have something to photograph and show here, like everyone else.
but right now I’m somehow lacking the perseverance. For example, to make an angel / guardian angel. Because I try it out and then somehow it doesn’t work right away, with the shapes and all, and then I unravel it and do it again and unravel it again.
Because if it’s way too crooked and wonky, I don’t want to keep it either.

It’s certainly true that you can make quick progress with crochet, but you also have to keep at it continuously and not just play around, the way I do.

I’ve firmly resolved that I really will pick one of the patterns from the shop and then practice it until I manage to make something good with it. Maybe actually those baby shoes by Natalija, the pattern that has been downloaded the most. I don’t have the link handy right now, but I think you all know what I mean.

@sundown and @Vengeance
You two are also more on the beginner side, if I remember correctly.
Unfortunately I haven’t read anything from you in the forum for a long time. I hope you’re doing well?
What are you working on right now in terms of crochet and handicrafts? Do tell, if you feel like it. That would be great. Lately here in the forum we’ve mainly been talking about great patterns and contests, but there’s surely still room for beginner questions and beginner discussions. And also technique discussions and learning techniques and things like that. there always has to be room for that :) So I wish you lots of fun with crocheting and so on.
 

Hi muetzekatze

Now clicking on this thread finally worked. Because of you, I spent the evening watching videos from Redaktion Hug and I even “crocheted along.” You really do learn quite a bit that way. I’ve stayed away from ribbon yarn so far. Maybe I’ll give it a try sometime soon. I think it would be a good idea for you to pick a pattern and work through it carefully until it turns out right. Unless, of course, you just want to keep making double crochets. That certainly has its appeal, too. I’m having a bit of trouble with crocheting right now; I haven’t practiced in a long time. Winter, at least for me, wasn’t exactly the best time for crafts.

Kind regards
Sidney

Ribbon yarn isn’t any harder to work with than other yarns, you just have to be careful not to insert the hook into the yarn. The viscose yarn is very smooth, though, which can make weaving in the ends difficult.

There's a lot going on in this thread here—that's nice :)

@Sidney
Well, I can truly warmly recommend Redaktion Hug. Especially if you're new, or a beginner, and want to learn something.
I think Redaktion Hug can help you build a good foundation for working from patterns from Crazypatterns, but that's just my opinion, and I don't know the lady from Redaktion Hug either personally or virtually. I only know the videos.

Well, crocheting from a pattern—I did crochet those decorative flowers from a pattern back then, though in awful colors, leftover yarn in salmon pink and gray, but at least it was from a pattern. It worked reasonably well too. I still have the little decorative flower. These small decorative flowers are simply ideal for leftover yarn, and they still look pretty when you're finished with them.

What are you crocheting right now, Sidney?

@Bastelhilde
Pushing through the ribbon yarn was never really a problem for me. My problem was more that I used a very wide ribbon yarn and needed a size 8 crochet hook for it, and before that I had only ever worked with smaller crochet hooks. It's really an adjustment, both from small to large and then back again from large to small. At least when you've spent a while crocheting only with small hooks or only with large ones.

I’m bumping this old thread back up—maybe someone else would like to read it

Hello muetzekatze,
many

Hello muetzekatze,
thank you very much for your crochet pattern. I’m currently crocheting a blanket, I have the right number of stitches on each side, but the blanket is crooked... Can anyone help me with that? I already asked about it here https://www.crazypatterns.net/de/forum/topic/9180/haekeln

Also, here under Crochet there are lots of beautiful patterns. When I’m finished with the blanket, I already know what I’ll make next.

Best, Marie

How about an online crochet course that runs for a few weeks or a month, where all the beginners here in the forum can participate and keep track of their progress? A new little crochet challenge every day and lots of mutual support

Too bad I’m not a beginner anymore. I would have loved to join in.

For beginners: the regular single crochet and single crochet in the front loop:

Hello everyone,
first of all, hello to everyone who has written something here in the thread, and of course also to everyone who may be reading along.
It’s nice that after all this time the thread is still attracting a few people, even though it was in my signature, which unfortunately didn’t help all that much. But anyway, now there are people here in the thread who have good ideas and everything.
@Maria
nice that you got even more answers in the other thread. Is it going well with the blanket now?
and it’s also nice that you found your way into this thread, even though you haven’t been here at Crazypatterns for that long yet. Have you settled in yet?
@UrsulaPetra
thanks for the informative picture
@Hamster and @Clara
an online course for beginners. Do you think enough people are reading along here in the thread who would then want to join in? I mean, when you look at the patterns and such, in the CP shop, there are surely lots of beginners here on the platform, or people who would like to learn to crochet, but do they all read along in the forum too? There are a few nice articles in the blog about learning to crochet and so on. Also tutorials, as far as I remember. But when I think about it, even if those exist, we can still do it here in the forum, because here you can really exchange ideas well. So I’d say, let’s see how it goes.
Would we need a separate thread for it? Or should we just do it here in this thread?
Would there be one crochet-learning task per day, or only per week?
I mean, not everyone probably has time every day for a crochet-learning task.
They should basically be manageable portions of crochet tasks.
Does something like that already exist somewhere on the internet?
There used to be courses like that with learning videos, right? But I don’t know whether they still exist.
but I mean, our course here is only in the forum for now and such, so we could, for example, use several videos from YouTube and so on for learning the different stitch types, and also include the blog posts that fit the topic.
And possibly also the free or paid patterns.
If we use free ones, that will of course be easier, but I think we can also include the paid ones.
So, I think you could definitely make something out of it. but I also think that with an offer like this, we’d have a better chance of getting a response in fall/winter.
in summer people are out and about when the weather is nice, after all.

If we do a forum crochet course like this, people can help each other
and we don’t have to make a rigid course program or anything
we can also set it up according to people’s wishes and so on
and I mean, not only beginners can join in, but everyone who crochets
as an advanced crocheter, you can give tips or maybe refresh a technique yourself that you haven’t done in ages.
This could become a great thing. If you join in, of course.
who would be up for something like this?
could you virtually raise your hand or something?
or just put a word in your post or something?
that would be nice.
So I’ll just count sundown, Sidney, Bastelhilde, Maria, Ursulapetra, Hamster and Clara in? or everyone who has ever replied here in the thread? Although, the thread isn’t exactly brand-new anymore, some of the people aren’t even here in the forum anymore, but they could come back. well, let’s see how it goes :)


I’d suggest we first look for ideas on how we could do all of this and so on,  and then maybe we could ask the mod for help if needed.
@the mod, are you there? joining in too? ;)
