Beginner Thursday / Newbie Protection / What Advice Would You Give Beginners?

Dear users, dear authors,
you know how it works:
Here on the forum, we naturally offer a safe space for beginners and newcomers of all kinds.
So, feel free to ask the forum as many questions as you like.
I’m curious.

What advice would you give to beginners in the world of crafts and DIY?

The most important thing: Don’t stress yourself out and don’t stop having fun :)

When I started crocheting (again), I saw a lot of things and thought to myself, “Wow, I could never do that!!”

That’s why I took it one step at a time.
At first, “simple” amigurumis with just a few body parts, using only single crochet stitches.
Eventually, I added (half) double crochets, then more and more parts and more complicated techniques...

Nowadays, there’s really nothing in crocheting that I find impossible.
You grow with time and practice.

Small successes give beginners the motivation they need to keep going and improve :)
