Good Evening! I Hope You Are Doing Well! I'm Just Sort Of Stumped, And I Was Wondering If You Had Any

I found my beginner/baby witch blog @kansas-divination-witch. It was one of those instances where I couldn't delete my blog for one reason or another. I was full of zeal and very much unorganized. I was young and adorable.

Been needing to catch up on reading, I'm going to start with the Book of the Dead, seems appropriate to do so. And of course, with all my witch books, I have sticky tabs to mark pages.

Do you know any good crochet tutorials? :) I always seem to fuck up the rows(?) and like, I'll start with 15 stitches, and next thing you know I've somehow managed to crochet less and less stitches as each row goes on. :")

I don't have any good ones off the top of my head, when I first started crocheting, Youtube was my go to. But also, I practiced with books like this...no frills, there might be some harder stitches in some, but I liked books like that because it gives you the count in () at the end of the step. So like if you needed 6 d double crochets it would like (6 dc count) or something similar.

As long as you don't shoplift at my store while I'm on shift, you'll be alright.

What is your favorite part of your day?

Oh, hmm, anytime I can spend journaling. Depending how the day is scheduled determines when journaling time is, but as long as I have some time to do work on my writing journal or my bullet journal that's my favorite part of my day. That and cooking. Those are tied with being my favorite.
