what do you MEAN a normal crochet goes through BOTH sides of the V
wait Iām sorry have I been doing it wrong this whole time???? Iāve made of plushies in the last year and it turns out that I wasā¦ using nonstandard methods? I was basically going FLO for everything (aside from explicit BLO stitches) but it turns out that thereās a distinction between FLO and ānormalā stitches???????????
I guess this explains why FLO is a separate instructionā¦ I had always chalked that up to a regional quirk, or just the pattern author being REALLY sure that we were doing a normal stitch instead of BLO, butā¦ apparently not! ššš
so like, okay, Iāve made roughly 20+ plushies or similar projects in the past year, and I think theyāve all turned out pretty good. I often explain cross-stitch by saying āyour kitchen, your rules; the right way to do it is the one that gets you the results you want with minimal frustration,ā but and I know that should apply here too but like,,,,,,,,,,, I still feel weird! Not guilty or ashamed or anything, mostly baffled? Especially since FLO is legitimately a different stitch from non-FLO and the results will be genuinely different! theyāre empirically āokayā as evidenced by the fact that my projects are okay, but theyāre straight up different from the standard instructions hahahahahahahhahaaaaaa š
I wonder what else I might be doing in a nonstandard manner š š š
