HACK-2: Anyone who works with yarn knows how difficult it is to find storage...Well, I got you covered!! I just found this amazing over-the-door yarn caddy on Amazon. Here is the link: STORAGE *This is not a paid endorsement.

HACK-3:

Made a mistake... If you end any round with more or less stitches than the pattern calls for, no need to frog any of the rows. Just adjust your stitch count by adding or subtracting stitches evenly as needed. *As long as you don't have a big gaping hole in your blanket...If you do just grab a needle and thread and sew it closed.

HACK-4:

Invest in ergonomic crochet hooks to reduce hand fatigue, especially for larger projects.

HACK-5:

Use good lighting. Being able to clearly see what you are doing improves results. This is more important with darker yarns.

HACK-6:

Most, if not all, of the Twisted Granny patterns include size adjustment instructions.
