[Nfb-krafters-korner] she's BACK!

[Theresa Taylor]

 So the difference in the two stitches is where you put your crochet hook to begin the stitch… The front post you put the crochet hook on the right side of the next upcoming vertical post and you can take the crochet hook and let it go out on the left-hand side of that post… so before you wrap your yard around the crochet hook make sure that it started by going in on the front part of that front post and comes out on the left-hand side for the back post you insert your crochet hook on the backside of the piece that you're doing and again it goes on the right-hand side of that next vertical post but not from the front from the back and it will go out of that left hand side from the front to the back hope this helps…

Of course, most of what I find either has videos, diagrams or nebulous verbal instructions (because, what qualifies as “front” for one person can be construed, of course, as “back” by another). Having only slim training in that, and of course, wanting to make sure I’m right when I finally set myself to the task: Can someone explain these in an extremely clear way that a beginner in that stitch, who is totally blind,  couldn’t misunderstand? I guess I’d start with, exactly what is the front of a dc, for the fFPDC? Like Maria von Trapp said, “Let’s start at the very beginning...” If you have any neat memory tricks, too, that would help. On one site, I saw something about, when you do a BPDC, the hook points toward your tummy, and that kind of advice really clarifies. I’ve been “practicing” on a sweater I’m not happy with—it has really complex stitches, like not only just the FPDC, but the “front left cross dc” and more, and sometimes for some of the stitches, you have to go in front of two stitches just made (having just skipped two prior to them), then doing stitches in the skipped ones. It’s crazy, but it may be that I’ve complicated it for myself by forgetting which is truly the FPDC and which the BPDC. So, any feedback is appreciated! Thanks!
